MY HEALTHY LIFE Mig Bennett

Mig Bennett is a relationship counsellor based in East Sussex

My go-to remedy

A mug of my special-brew decaf tea – that’s one bag of Earl Grey and one of breakfast tea made in my mum’s teapot. Two mugs revitalise the start of my day. It soothes and lifts as needed throughout the day, and brings calm at bedtime.

My favourite meal

I love my slow cooker, and lamb shoulder is my current favourite. I pierce and slide in cloves of garlic, rub with flour and slow-cook in stock with redcurrant jelly added. It’s so easy and brings back childhood memories of Dad carving and Mum taking off her pinny and exclaiming that she ‘felt like a grease spot!’

How I keep fit and healthy

I play as much tennis as I can each week, fitting it around my private relationship counselling practice. I’m not a gym person. I love the mental battle of tennis, combined with exercise and fresh air.
