None of these come in a bottle, and yes, we noticed.

Strength training, protein, balance, sleep, your friends and a walk after dinner. It's not a glamorous list, but it's the one worth keeping up past 40.

Which one are you quietly skipping?

Send this to your after-dinner walking friend 😄

I bought the squash because it was on offer and now this is the only thing we eat.
Roasted squash, leek and white bean soup. Serves four, and it is genuinely better on day two.

ROAST: 800g butternut squash in 2cm cubes and 4 garlic cloves, tossed in 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp thyme, 1 tsp smoked paprika, salt and pepper. 200C fan for 30 to 35 minutes, turning halfway.

POT: 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 sliced leek, 1 diced onion, pinch of salt. 10 to 15 minutes on medium low. Stir in ½ tsp turmeric and ½ tsp black pepper for 30 seconds, then 2 litres veg stock and the rest of the thyme. Simmer 15 minutes.

BLEND: a third of the roasted squash, the roasted garlic squeezed out of its skins, and 3 ladles of broth. Back into the pot with the remaining squash and 2 x 400g tins of cannellini beans for 5 minutes.

FINISH: 2 cups kale for 3 to 4 minutes, then 4 tbsp nutritional yeast, the juice of a lemon and a handful of parsley. Top with toasted pumpkin seeds, lemon zest and cracked black pepper.

Save this one for the next grey Sunday, because you will not scroll back to find it.

You've walked into that room three times and you still don't know why.

Everyone calls it brain fog and then blames themselves for it.

What's the word you can never retrieve?

Nobody has ever completed a 12 step morning routine twice.

Breakfast and your vitamins. That is the routine.

It has a name, and around seven in ten women with PCOS deal with it.
