Wellness week with BBC Good Food and In The Moment
We've teamed up with BBC Good Food to share a week of foodie wellbeing features and recipes from 1-7 April!
April is Stress Awareness Month – the idea is to help us identify the causes, and get to know the cures, for the stressors in our modern society. We often overlook the role of nutrition, but eating the right nutrients to replenish our energy and vitamin stores may also help to reduce the impact of stress.
From 1– 7 April, BBC Good Food and In The Moment are teaming up to share a whole week of wellness food tips, expert advice and recipes (including this delicious berry pancake!) on their websites and social media, covering everything from eating for stress management to flexitarianism.
Each day has a different theme, and the articles and recipes will be available throughout the month and beyond.
