         NUTRITIONAL TIP

It is important to eat at regular intervals, ideally every 3-5 hours as this helps to keep blood sugar levels stable. Aim to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day to stay well hydrated and eat five servings of fruit and vegetables a day for general health.

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT DOING OUR TRANSITION PERIOD
