In This Article, I gave you tips on how to create new good habits but now I want to address what is happening in the brain when habits are formed and broken and how to eliminate those bad habits forever. The Sleep Game Occasionally, I have trouble sleeping. The key is to focus my mind on something other than my random thoughts. Our minds are powerful, independent creatures but we can control them with effort, consistency and determination. This is what I try if I wake in the night and can’t get back to sleep. I pick a topic like countries in the world or girl’s names – anything with a list – then I go through the alphabet and mentally say one country for each letter. So, Austria, Botswana, Canada, Denmark etc. Or I might decide to say two for each letter if the list has many possibilities. When I get stuck and can’t think of one, I try for a bit but then move on. The idea is to engross my mind in what it is doing so those unwanted thoughts don’t dominate. I have been doing this … [Read more...] about How to Break Bad Habits

Baked Salmon & Anchovy Mayonnaise – low Fodmap & gluten-free
This was our dinner last night and the anchovy mayonnaise was a hit. It would be great with many other dishes besides the salmon. I would like to try it with tuna too. There is no excuse for buying processed mayonnaise, which usually contains garlic and onions (watch for the words "natural flavour", which can include garlic and onions). A homemade mayonnaise takes no more than a few minutes if you have a food processor. Salmon is a wonderful protein to eat at least once a week for the Omega 3, which helps neutralize the free radicals in the body which can lead to cancer. However, go easy on it because it is a very fatty fish and fat is a gut irritant, so work out how much you can tolerate without triggering symptoms. 4.0 from 1 reviews Baked Salmon & Anchovy Mayonnaise Print Author: Suzanne Perazzini Serves: 4 Ingredients 4 small salmon fillets Olive oil Salt & pepper 1 egg yolk 4 anchovy fillets 2 tsp dijon mustard splash of water 200 mls light oil 1 tbsp … [Read more...] about Baked Salmon & Anchovy Mayonnaise – low Fodmap & gluten-free

Tuna, Tomato and Rice Stir Fry – Low Fodmap
In our household we often have leftover rice because I find it difficult to calculate it correctly. I always eat a small amount but my husband is the wild card and will sometimes eat for four but sometimes only for two so I often make too much. Since we mustn't keep cooked rice for too long because bacteria grows on it really quickly, the next day I use it in invented dishes and that is how this one came about. It is one of the quickest I have made in a while because the protein meat was canned tuna. With the herbs and spices I used, it was delicious and no one would have guessed it took me around 10 minutes for the entire preparation and cooking process. Next time you have some leftover rice, give this a go. It is low Fodmap and gluten-free and will keep your gut calm. Watch the tomatoes though if you have reflux. 4.7 from 3 reviews Tuna, Tomato and Rice Stir Fry - low Fodmap Print Author: Suzanne Perazzini Ingredients 1 tbsp oil 1 spring onion, green part only, … [Read more...] about Tuna, Tomato and Rice Stir Fry – Low Fodmap
4 Ways to Slow Your Day Down
I have written an article HERE about busyness. Jessica Stillman also wrote a great article called the Cold Hard Truth: you’re overwhelmed because you want to be. Being busy has become a sign of status – we are proud of it. We bitch about how busy we are to assert our importance. The answer to feeling oppressively busy is to stop telling yourself that you’re oppressively busy, because the truth is that we are all much less busy than we think we are. And our consistent insistence that we are busy has created a host of personal and social ills: unnecessary stress, exhaustion, bad decision-making – all of which affect your IBS. I won’t go on about it any longer because you all, if you put down your defensiveness just for a moment, will recognize you do this to yourself. You are a part of the latest cult of busyness. So, the first step towards reforming your ways is to stop complaining about your busyness cold turkey. Now let’s look at a few ways to make you feel less … [Read more...] about 4 Ways to Slow Your Day Down
