Virtually no breakfast cereal or supermarket bread is good for you. Even if you choose muesli and granola, there are very few types that are actually healthy, despite the tempting labels.
Spring is a good time to rethink your breakfast, your diet and, now the weather is starting to get warmer, make more time for exercise. At the start of the year, we generally don’t go out much and we’re a bit more miserable. We look for ways to reward ourselves, often by eating and drinking more than usual. Now is a chance to think about our diet differently – not so much for comfort, perhaps more for energy and health.
So this week, I’m bringing you a three-part spring reset: things I know that work for me that I hope will work for you too.
One way I do this is by having a bowl of full-fat yogurt, kefir, mixed berries and my Zoe Daily 30 mix (a supplement containing seeds, nuts, legumes, herbs, spices and mushrooms) for breakfast most days during the week. I have some variant of a shakshuka with eggs at the weekend for brunch. Both options are full of fibre, variety and protein to keep me energised through the morning, support my gut health and fill me up.
Here are my other five ideas for diet tweaks this season that should leave you feeling brighter with more energy. Continue reading ➤

She had first been scouted as a model in 1949, but as her life unfolded she devoted herself to bringing up her family, while doing some TV commercials and modelling clothes in department stores.
It was in 1998, at the age of 70, that Daphne Selfe was rediscovered and experienced global success. Vogue hired her as part of a feature on ageing, and she was soon doing catwalk shows for DKNY, Dolce & Gabbana and others, and being photographed by the leading fashion snappers.
There were assignments across the world for Olay, Evian and Nivea and by 2010, aged 82, she was judged “Britain’s oldest working model”. It was not a phrase she liked, since it made her sound like a Heath Robinson contraption. In 2015 she was given an entry in The Guinness Book of World Records.
Daphne Selfe, who was still working into her tenth decade, put her fine complexion down to a diet of vegetables and water – with the occasional slice of cake and glass of champagne.
