Increase happiness through food

Clodagh McKenna talks to Lauren Taylor about eating to feel well

When you watch Clodagh McKenna on ITV's This Morning, she's fresh off doing a meditation behind the scenes-and probably a dance too.

All the crew are so used to it after six years of the Irish chef appearing on the popular daytime show that, “they all know-they just walk past”.

The 50-year-old explains: “I do a meditation when I wake up in the morning, then I do another longer meditation about half an hour before I go live [and] I do my dance for five minutes in my headset all around the back of the studio. The dance is to really be myself [on live TV] and be calm inside.”
