Download it here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biocare.co.uk\/its-in-your-gut\">www.biocare.co.uk\/its-in-your-gut<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow it for one week and she says it will not only <strong>give your immunity a boost<\/strong> at this vital time of year, but even help you to feel <strong>less bloated and less stressed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda comments: \u201cThis plan can help to lift mood in various ways. It works to keep blood sugar levels steady and stable which is good for evening out energy lows, it also provides a broad range of vitamins and minerals, many of which are vital to feeling good. Iron for instance is vital for red blood cells to carry oxygen. When intakes are consistently poor, which is true for many women in the UK, over time this can lead to exhaustion and low mood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPromoting a diverse range of good bacteria, may also help mood by producing metabolites that increase hormone like substances that help us to feel good. Once a healthy gut microbiome is established, then bloating may actually be improved too which is another welcome side-effect of following this diet plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Amanda\u2019s top tips:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Up your zinc by eating nuts, seeds and wholegrains<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Zinc has antioxidant properties and can help reduce inflammation, which can affect your body\u2019s immune responses.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Have yogurt on your breakfast or for desert <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A good dollop of plain, natural yogurt every day with some fruit, whether for a fast breakfast or a delicious desert, or some sauerkraut (delicious served with sausages and mustard) can help ward off a cold.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Eat more berries<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Berries are rich in immune-boosting compounds, and have been shown to have cold-fighting properties, in particular elderberries and blackcurrants.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Up your protein <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Plant and animal-based protein\u00a0is what the body needs to build and repair body tissue and fight viral and bacterial infections.\u00a0Immune\u00a0system powerhouses such as antibodies and\u00a0immune\u00a0system cells rely on\u00a0protein. Too little\u00a0protein\u00a0in the\u00a0diet\u00a0may lead to symptoms of weakness, fatigue, apathy, and poor\u00a0immunity.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add a zing of ginger to your cooking <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ginger is a wonder ingredient that actually contains something called gingerol which has inflammatory properties that has been suggested may be helpful to combating blocked noses and dry throats.\u00a0 A sprinkle of fresh ginger in your cooking several times a week is like a little insurance against any dreaded winter bugs, and makes meals more exciting too!<\/p>\n<p>Amanda comments: \u201cMy diet is made up of a wide variety of vegetables, wholegrains, nuts, seeds and fruits, along with both plant and animal sources of protein and healthy plant oils.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This supports the notion that what you eat can not only affect your immunity, but your mood too.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Amanda continues: \u201cIt\u2019s also important to consume prebiotic foods \u2013 these are what probiotics feed on and proliferate from \u2013 which act like fertiliser for growing your healthy bacteria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prebiotic foods include almost all fruits e.g. apricots, pear, apple, blueberries, pineapple, and vegetables e.g. courgette, cauliflower, onion, carrot, green pepper etc, which all feature in Amanda\u2019s menu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor many people following this plan will also lower energy intakes and may lead to weight loss. If you have been struggling with your weight, and end up shifting a few pounds or half a stone or so by eating the meals and snacks suggested, this may help to boost confidence and mood as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>And the supplements you should try?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you struggle to support all the healthy bacteria you need through your diet alone, a good quality live bacteria supplement may help as another easy source of good gut microbes to help give your immunity a boost.<\/p>\n<p>BioCare\u2019s BioAcidophilus range contains the unique LAB<sup>4\u00a0 <\/sup>blend of live bacteria, combining Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium cultures, used in multiple clinical studies and with a proven potency to reach the gut alive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BioCare Acidophilus RRP \u00a324.44<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biocare.co.uk\/bioacidophilus\">www.biocare.co.uk\/bioacidophilus<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/cdn.wellbeingmagazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/26130850\/BioAcidophilus_120.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-90419\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/cdn.wellbeingmagazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/26130850\/BioAcidophilus_120-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/cdn.wellbeingmagazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/26130850\/BioAcidophilus_120-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/cdn.wellbeingmagazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/26130850\/BioAcidophilus_120-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/cdn.wellbeingmagazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/26130850\/BioAcidophilus_120-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/cdn.wellbeingmagazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/26130850\/BioAcidophilus_120-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/cdn.wellbeingmagazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/26130850\/BioAcidophilus_120-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/cdn.wellbeingmagazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/26130850\/BioAcidophilus_120-60x60.png 60w, https:\/\/s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/cdn.wellbeingmagazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/26130850\/BioAcidophilus_120.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chris Newbold, Head of Nutrition Strategy at BioCare comments: \u201cModern lifestyles don\u2019t really support our levels of gut bacteria.
