Why An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away We have all heard the phrase “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but have you ever stopped to think if that is true and if so why? “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” seems logical if one is thinking along the lines that fresh organic fruit and vegetables are good for you and should be encouraged instead of eating processed foods, but is there more to it than that.

red meats reduce anxiety and depression

Can Red Meats Reduce Anxiety and Depression? Ever wondered why you might be drawn to some foods, even though on ideological grounds you would prefer to avoid them? If red meats reduce anxiety and depression, that could be a compelling reason for you to feel better eating them, even though you disagree with eating meat and would prefer to be vegetarian or vegan.

Do hair dryers affect health

Do Hair Dryers Affect Health? Seems like a silly question, doesn’t it? How could appliances as innocuous as hair dryers affect health. Just because we have been using certain electrical appliances for several decades now does not mean that they are all perfectly safe (excluding electrocution risk) and have no impact on our health in the long term. This is the same for the processed foods and beverages on sale, the mobile phones and tablets, the flame-retardants in furniture, cars and clothing, and the assault on our vegetables and fruits with insecticides, fungicides, fertilisers, GMOs, and on our meats with hormones Continue Reading →

Best Multi-Vitamin Supplement There is a huge market in vitamins and supplements, and so many different brands and products that it is really difficult for the average person to decide what, if any, they need to take and certainly impossible to determine which is the best multi vitamin supplement for them. In an ideal world no one would need to take any supplements because their balanced dietary intake would ensure that they received all the vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and amino acids that they required. But we do not live in anything like an ideal world when it comes Continue Reading →

Best Natural Gut Health Support We are often asked, “What is the best natural gut health support?” by people experiencing gastro-intestinal issues. These issues could include general food intolerances, bloating, gas, cramping, irritable bowel disease, Crohn’s, gluten sensitivity, Celiac disease, reflux or irregular bowel movements. These are just some of the symptoms that people will associate with their GI tract, but the truth is that problems caused by negative interactions with food can cause a great many more diseases and symptoms, which, because they are not located in GI tract, people do not realise that they are closely linked with Continue Reading →

The main area of employment seeming to be in medical and allied services. The magazine kindly published a list of medical careers and specialties that today’s school population might want to focus on. “What has this got to do with the importance of food?” we hear you ask. On scanning through the list, which is reprinted below, we thought to ourselves Continue Reading →

Who Wants Optimal Health? Seems like a no-brainer question, doesn’t it? But you would be surprised how many people settle for a life of “not being incapacitated”, which is why optimal health is more about mindset and values than anything else. Despite all that has been written in recent decades about how to improve health through lifestyle changes and food choices, there is an ever increasing percentage of people taking subscription medications (usually several) and they will be on these for the remainder of their sub optimally healthy lives – think medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol, acid Continue Reading →

Best Free Hormonal Balance Tool Sometimes the best things really are free but we seem to have a collective reluctance as a society to fully appreciate what nature has to offer. For example, we are all blessed with the best free hormonal balance tool that we could wish for, but how many people even know about it let alone use it correctly. . What do our eyes and light have to do with our hormones?
