The composition of breastmilk is extensive. It contains hundreds of nutritional elements and is recognised as being “nutritionally complete” as it holds all the essential nutrients a baby needs during the first 6 months of life. // New post that explores this topic in depth is now live on the journal //

Curious about the best immune boosting foods so you can make the most of your days? There’s a lot of nutrients to consider but here are some of the most important ones to focus on - backed up by science: • ZINC rich foods (best sources = nuts, eggs, seafood, cheese and buckwheat). • PRE and PRO biotic fibre (best sources = onion, garlic, beetroot, beans, nuts and yoghurt). • IRON rich foods (best sources = fish, eggs, meat, chia seeds, spinach and leafy greens). • VITAMIN C rich foods (best sources = broccoli,, oranges, tomatoes, kiwi fruit, blueberries, sweet potato and berries). • VITAMIN D is another big one to consider but the majority of this comes from sun exposure. If you live in a place where it is difficult to get enough sun, try focusing on these foods: cheese, liver, eggs, mushrooms and fatty oily fish (sardines, mackerel etc).

Mushrooms have nutritional magic. They contain a compound called “ergosterol” which becomes Vitamin D when exposed to the sun’s UV light (try leaving them out in the sun for 10-15 minutes). So for anyone who spends a lot of time inside, or can’t get enough sun, eating mushrooms is a great way to get your Vitamin D levels up. They are also very high in B vitamins (which is extremely unique for a non-animal food). As a general rule, the stranger they look (like these pine mushrooms from the Collingwood market) the higher their nutritional value ❤️🍄
