πŸ”„ This Week's Smart Swap: Margerine β†’ Real Butter

It’s time to ditch the yellow plastic imposter.

Margarine and spreads were born out of industrial waste, yes literally! Created as a cheap butter alternative using leftover by-products from seed oil refining, margarine is a lab-made cocktail of:

  • Refined vegetable oils (high in inflammatory omega-6)
  • Emulsifiers
  • Artificial colours
  • Preservatives
  • And often trans fats, linked to heart disease, inflammation, and insulin resistance

It was marketed as "heart healthy" in the low-fat era. But the truth? It's a Frankenfat.

Swap in real butter instead, and ideally from grass-fed cows. You’ll get:

βœ… Natural saturated fats (great for hormone health)
βœ… Butyrate β€” a short-chain fatty acid that fuels gut cells, reduces inflammation, and supports metabolic health
βœ… Vitamins A, D, E & K2 β€” all fat-soluble and essential for energy, immunity, and brain health
βœ… None of the lab-made nasties

​
Butter is a whole food your body recognises.
​
Margarine is not.

⚑️ High-Impact Tip. Tune In to Your Circadian Rhythm

Want better sleep, balanced energy, and a calmer mind?

Start your day with sunlight, not screenlight.

Here’s why:
Your circadian rhythm (your body’s natural 24-hour clock) is set by light. Morning sunlight hitting your eyes sends a powerful signal to your brain:

🧠 β€œIt’s daytime - time to be alert, focused, and energised.”

But here’s the key:
⏰ Aim to get outside within 30 minutes of waking, and ideally before 10am.
Just 5–10 minutes in the natural light (even on a cloudy day) is enough to:

βœ… Boost serotonin β€” your feel-good hormone
βœ… Support cortisol balance β€” so your energy peaks naturally
βœ… Set your melatonin timer β€” so you wind down on time at night

Blue light from phones and LED screens can’t do this. In fact, it confuses your brain β€” especially first thing in the morning β€” making sleep harder later on.

Small shift, big impact!

Curious to learn more about the circadian rhythm?​
I really enjoyed The Inner Clock: Living in Sync With Our Circadian Rhythms by Lynne Peeples β€” it's a clear, insightful read that breaks it all down beautifully.
