How to stay healthy.

In a world where there seems no hope out of the shadows comes the answer however , it may not be the answer or quick fix that you are looking for.

Today over 80% of the world population is suffering from chronic illness. As our technology and advancements have increased dramatically over the last five year, my question is why have the rates of chronic illness raised so rapidly. The answer is simple, we have moved away from how we evolved in terms of what we ate, how we moved and how we thought. In today society we want a quick fix. We will wait until illness strikes and then we will take action. We think that the answer lies in a pill, that drugs will “cure” us. The reality is that by then it is too late for many of us.
It is not all doom and gloom; you can reverse or reduce the symptoms of chronic illness.
I am here to bring you hope, that you don’t have to live in fear of cancer, diabetes or heart disease.
You can live a healthy life and here is how you do it.
· Eat more raw food
· Eat raw food before EVERY cooked meal
· Avoid dairy (yes dairy is bad and contrary to popular belief you don’t get calcium from cow’s milk)
· Avoid products made from wheat (bread, pasta etc) use alternative gluten free options
· Drink herbal tea and avoid coffee
· Make raw sweets like chocolate and cake (yes you can have your cake and eat it too without the worry of putting on weight)
· Avoid alcohol
I want to cry every time I here that someone’s mum or brother or sister is diagnosed with cancer.
It doesn’t have to be you!
You don’t have to become a statistic.
You can live a long and healthy life by the choices you make each day, so make your choices count.

What makes a good breakfast?

Many of us are in such a hurry in the morning that we tend to skip breakfast. Research shows that people living in Western society lack the essential vitamins and minerals to make it through the day (DellaPenna, 1999).

So what makes a great breakfast?

Unfortunately breakfast cereals are not the way to go. They are low in essential vitamins and minerals, high in salt and high in sugar (Harisson and Marske 2005) .

An ideal breakfast for busy people is a bowl of fresh fruit salad topped with raw nuts and seeds or try this recipe for a power smoothie that is quick and easy jam packed with nutrients to give you energy to start the day.

Power Smoothie
2 cups English Spinach/ Kale
6 -8 ripe bananas frozen or fresh
2 celery stick (no leaves)
1 cup chilled water
Method:
Add water and spinach in a blender and blend then slowly add celery and bananas and blend until well combined and enjoy throughout the day. (for a quick start to the day make half the quantity)
