Hello all! I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and invite you to ask any questions you may have regarding diet/food/nutrition and your health. We generally know that food can affect our physical health, but it can also have a profound effect on how we feel! So don’t be shy, if there is anything you might like to ask, i’m here to help! Best wishes Dr Nina Bailey

Foods that affect mood

Does anyone find that there are any specific dietary triggers that affect their mood?

Experiences using supplements

There are a wide range of supplement advertised as natural methods for treating depression, either as add-ons to pharmaceuticals or as alternatives. But what works and what doesn’t?

Genetically modified food

There’s another headline focusing on genetically modified foods entering the food chain this week. Breakfast cereals, including corn flakes, bread and snacks are under threat after the US authorities approved the growing of a new GM maize. Once the crop is grown on a large scale in the US, there is every chance it will become mixed with food standard corn and be exported around the world, including the UK.

Personally I find this quite alarming and wonder how other people feel about this subject?

Dietary advice from GPs

2011-02-21T16:22:22Z

We visit our GP when we feel unwell. We trust the advice they give us and will generally take the pills and potions offered to us because we believe that he, or she, has our best interest at heart. However, not many of us are aware that simple dietary changes can be beneficial to our health without always resorting to medication. How often does a GP ask you about your diet, or offer dietary advice before picking up a prescription pad?
