The Rule of 3 for Healthy Meals
If you're not sure where to start with healthy eating, just aim to eat balanced meals that are prepared in your own kitchen. The beauty of home-cooked meals is that you control what goes into them, avoiding the additives, excess salt, and preservatives found in ultra-processed foods. You don't need to be a master chef; even simple meals prepared at home are typically healthier than their factory-made equivalents.
A balanced meal includes at least three things, one from each of these groups:
- High-fibre starchy carbohydrates (like wholegrain bread and cereals)
- Healthy source of protein (which could be lean meat, tofu, beans, lentils, fish or nuts and seeds)
- Fruit or vegetables (either fresh, frozen, tinned in juice or water, or dried)
A balanced meal will feel more satisfying and will give you a better chance of having a healthy diet.

6 minute miles at 62!
Meet Clare Elms, a 62-year-old Brit who made history last week by becoming the oldest woman in the world to run 5km in under 18 minutes!
To put that in perspective: 5km is just over 3 miles, and running it in under 18 minutes means averaging less than 6 minutes per mile, a pace that would leave many of us behind.
What makes this even more remarkable is Clare's personal situation as she achieved this record while grieving the recent loss of her mother, and while visiting her 92-year-old father in hospital everyday.
This week, our inspiration isn't just Clare, it's everyone who is quietly showing up for themselves AND for the people they love.
