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.
