‘A shot of tart cherry juice’: This business founder’s trick to a good night’s sleep

Daisy Clementine is a creative consultant. The 31-year-old shares her day on a plate.

9am A soy matcha and Greek yoghurt with protein powder and raspberries.

11am A filter coffee.

3pm I always eat lunch late. My go-to when I’m busy is a supermarket roast chicken and one of their salad mixes.

4pm Freddo Frogs are my Achilles heel. I eat one with a peppermint tea.

5.30pm A red wine with a friend. Dinner follows: prawn toast, crudo and grilled barramundi with broccolini shared.

9pm A lavender and camomile tea with honey flavoured tea and do a shot of tart cherry juice to help me sleep.

Dr Joanna McMillan says

Top marks for… Your roast chicken lunch. This is a terrific takeout option providing protein and B-group vitamins. Be sure to eat some of the brown meat as this has more iron and zinc than the breast and include leafy greens and a good mix of other vegetables, plus wholegrains such as quinoa and/or beans for fibre.

If you keep eating like this you’ll… Miss out on the health benefits from good fats and the nutrients and antioxidants they help you absorb. The foods high in these good fats – nuts, seeds, avocados, extra virgin olive oil and oily fish – are all missing from your day.

Why don’t you try… Including canned sardines, mackerel or salmon as an alternative to chicken two or three times a week. Add a handful of nuts and seeds to your yoghurt at breakfast. Buy takeout salad with no dressing then make your own with extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
