Q
Ifeellike I’m always
getting ill at the moment.
Is there any way I can boost my
Q
immune system before the big
day?Emmeline, 29
ANGELIQUE:Havingbeen a
bride myself, I can totally relate
to the overwhelmingfear of
getting ill onyour big day.An
immune-boosting arsenalof
fruits and veg will kick start your
body’s natural defences. It’s also
good to fuelup onhydrating,
hot goodness in the form of
soups and broths toprevent
inflammation and protectyour
digestive system. Finally, water
is your newbest friend never
leave the housewithout a bottle.
It will flush out any nasties and
boostyour overall health. Here’s
to your beautiful bridal glow!
Q
I really struggletoeat
healthilyas I have a
mega sweet tooth. Is there
Q
any wayIcan get my sugar
fix, but in a healthier way?
Laura, 2 3
ANGELIQUE:Letmestart
bysaying that sugar is sugar,
so there’s no completely
healthy alternative. Even
honey, maple syrup and fruit
have a serious impact on
yourblood glucoselevels,
sobe careful. Sticking to an
8 0:20 rulebyonlyhaving
sugary foods as a realtreat,
is agood place to start. When
those cravings do hit, try
some fresh berries before
you reachfor thechocolate
box. But, if you can’t
kickyour chocolatehabit
completely, I’d just make
sure that you always choose
agood qualitydark chocolate
not a milky, sugary version.
