We were delighted to relaunch the Lyme Bay Ladies Exeter Networking events in Bridport. Co-hosted by our new Bridport Ambassador, Jess Brooks from Bowes Brooks Accountants and her team.
It was a relaxed and social networking session full of positivity and inspiration.
Our Guest Speaker was LBL Helen Ross from The Well Life Lab
We were treated to a green smoothie and a discussion on Increasing Plant Foods in our Diet
Recent research is showing that gut microbial diversity leads to good health outcomes, and including a minimum of 30 DIFFERENT plant-based foods on a weekly basis helps to feed and nourish this diversity. It also provides essential nutrients and antioxidants to support our health.
A plant-based diet means different things to different people, so just to be clear, you do not need to be fully vegetarian or vegan to follow a plant-based diet.. The goal is to include a minimum of 30 different plant-based foods over the week, as research has shown this supports the growth of beneficial bacteria and short-chain fatty acids, which keeps the gut microbiome happy.
We also discussed – eating the rainbow – see attached photo which you can download.
