Nutrition expert Claire Sorlie has shared her top tips for a healthier lifestyle, revealing four essential foods and two to avoid. The founder of Resilient Health and Wellness and certified nutritionist took to TikTok to share her wisdom.
Claire cautioned against the use of collagen powders and probiotic supplements, recommending whole-food sources instead. She explained: "There are some good collagen powder brands. I just found in my clinical experience that my clients get better results with things like their hair, skin, nails, joint health when we use a whole-food source of collagen versus a powdered form. They also tend to be highly processed, have weird, funky additives, [and] can contribute to gas and bloating."
On the topic of probiotics, she said: "There are very specific instances where I use probiotic supplements with my clients. But if we're just trying to get a daily dose of probiotics, food sources like sauerkraut are a much better option and often contain more strains of probiotics."
"Don't need to consume a lot - with sauerkraut, you can start with just one teaspoon per day," Claire suggested. She pointed out that sauerkraut is loaded with both pre- and probiotics and is more budget-friendly, according to Wales Online.
If you want to naturally increase your collagen intake, bone broth is a top recommendation from Sorlie. When it comes to high-fibre snacking, look no further than raspberries, reports the Mirror.
For a better night's sleep, she proposes Sleepytime herbal tea, stating: "These herbs listed in the ingredients will not only help you get to sleep but also stay asleep."
