Why quit sugar?

One of the very first things I learned whilst I was studying nutrition 18 years ago, was that refined sugar literally destroys essential vitamins and minerals in your body.

As we need vitamins and minerals for our bodies to work, it makes perfect sense that refined sugar is not good for our health.  Recently the World Health Organisation recommended that for optimal health we should restrict our added sugar to just 25 grams or 6 teaspoons a day.

Are you sick and tired of feeling tired?

Do you have to drag yourself out of bed every morning?  Do you feel you're running on empty? Don’t accept a low energy pattern – it doesn’t have to be that way - even if it's been that way for a long time.  If you’re feeling low on energy and you’ve lost all motivation, you may well have adrenal fatigue. Factors such as stress, no work/life balance, poor nutrition and/or an unhealthy lifestyle can all be culprits.  Sometimes even a small deficiency of vitamin B3 can lead to adrenal fatigue. But adrenal fatigue is just one reason for having low energy levels – you may be trying to do too much, not eating well, not getting enough sleep, not exercising, not getting out in the daylight or...

Is there a natural alternative to sleeping pills?

Most definitely!! Did you know that prescription sleeping pills are well-known for causing memory loss? The popular American drug Ambien (also known as Stilnox amongst other brand names) has been termed the “amnesia drug” and some side effects include night terrors, sleep walking, sleep driving (obviously life-threatening, can you imagine?!) and hallucinations (plain scary!) Prescription sleeping pills have been found to put you in a state similar to being passed out drunk or in a coma while bypassing the restorative sleep your brain needs. Ambien, Lunesta and Sonata sleeping pills are known to cause memory loss as cited by Richard C Mohrs, PhD former vice chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

How to Cure the Common Cold Naturally

Viruses constantly surround us and it's only when our immune systems are weakened that we become susceptible. Extra pressures at work/home, getting over-tired, not eating properly, constant worrying and even physically getting chilled can all contribute towards your immune system crumbling and your body unable to withstand an attack from a passing bacteria or virus. Once your immune system is weakened and you have a bacterial or viral infection, your body’s own immunity kicks in.   Your immune system is likely to produce a fever (to help burn out the pathogens) or your body produces mucous (this time to flood out the pathogens). The fever and mucous are good signs that your body is working well!  One of the worst things you can do is to “dry”...
