What do vitamins and minerals actually do in the body? What is their role and all the hype?
They are involved in 100's of roles within the body from building healthy strong bones, to making hormones and even to help maintain your heart beat. However the biggest role they have is the thousands of reactions within each cell of your body every second of the day to open the cell and receive the nutrients from your food so your body can actually use the food you are putting in.

Chia is jam packed with nutrients including protein, omega 3 fatty acids, fibre and can help you feel fuller for longer. Finding yourself wondering why it's called morning sickness when it happens all day? You’re not alone, around half to two thirds of pregnant women experience morning sickness during their pregnancy.

Sometimes pregnancy isn't all joy and happiness in those first few weeks, you're not alone if you feel this way. |
