Healthy Breakfast – Better Gut Health!?

Healthy Homes Posted on by

It may well sound a bit “weird” to head an article with ….and Better Gut Health. However – the gut is your “second brain” and if it’s upset it can do a lot to make you unwell! An excellent morning breakfast is good to keep things moving and “regular”…. Our Version of a Healthier Energy Breakfast We started to use organic porridge and Rice Dream Original Organic milk (non-dairy milk) some while ago.. This is a most excellent replacement for other breakfasts – especially on the colder mornings! (We started by using gome goat’s yoghurt, some meaningful amount that you would like. Goats yoghurt is kinder to your system than dairy. Less “mucous-y” and easier to digest.) However it is quite expensive and so we changed to organic porridge from a health food shop. For two we use: 14 fl oz of rice milk and just under 2 oz porridge. Use the smaller flaked porridge; the large flakes don’t work as well for porridge. Heat to the boil; giving a good stir. For each person add: 1 teaspoon (or as much or as little as you want) linseed – to keep you going 1 teaspoon Pumpkin seeds 1 teaspoon Sunflower … Continue reading →

Is This A Growing Threat As We Grow Older?

Healthy Homes Posted on by

Hello again Yes, I know! I HAVE posted a similar newsletter  recently titled: Dementia is a Cruel Disease To Watch I make NO apologies for sending this because I sincerely hope that you are not involved with anyone who is suffering with Dementia, but this IS going out again now because, as I understand it, this condition is now considered just a growing “threat” as time goes by.  I AM posting this out again because we are, right now, involved with an elderly relative who is going further and further down the path of dementia and it’s awful to see someone close – and previously SO clever and a superb business person just – well – not really with it at ALL when we visit. They may speak with you and you cannot understand anything they say. You just have to go with it and agree and move on. Seeing holiday photos and any previous life photos from back in the day when all was well makes you realise just how important keeping well is through life as much as possible. An recent article in the press says quite a bit and I would suggest it’s worth a look – … Continue reading →

Turmeric Spice Used by Woman to Overcome Cancer – Researchers Stunned

Healthy Homes Posted on by

By Anthony Gucciardi, NaturalSociety, July 8, 2012 While expensive cancer drugs linked to premature death and mega-tumors are pushed by many mainstream doctors as the only option outside of chemotherapy, a growing number of informed individuals are consistently opting to instead utilize natural methods that are known to conquer cancer cells and effectively negate the disease — without harsh side effects. One such person, Vicky Stewart of Britain, chose such a path when she refused mainstream medical cancer treatments and instead began consuming powerful turmeric spice. Despite excessive warnings from MD’s who insisted that Vicky would surely not recover using superfoods that are commonly touted as ‘woo’ and ‘ineffective medicine’ by pharma-backed doctors, Stewart found amazing success by altering her lifestyle and taking in extra amounts of supefoods like turmeric each day. Stewart recalls to The Telegraph how her doctor repeatedly voiced concern over switching to a healthy diet full of turmeric spice to fight the cancer (one of many turmeric health benefits), telling her that it would do virtually nothing: “The doctors absolutely will not say that the diet is going to do anything to help the cancer in any way.” Four years later, she is still cancer free … Continue reading →

Why Do We Do What We Do? A Dirt Poor, Minerally Depleted Environment – THAT’s WHY! (YES – you MAY already have received this newsletter – or similar, but I believe it is a fundamental reason for a lot of the illness these days) Hello and I hope all well with you Having come from a farming background ‘undreds of years ago, I found this hard to believe. I thought we were supposed to be doing a good job and providing food for the population….. Well, I guess we were / are, but at such a huge cost to the land quality…. The Reason Why Fruits and Vegetables Have Become Less Nutritious I have had a few occasions on my journeys to play gigs to listen to various health related CDs by people who have a lot more knowledge than I do. The topics covered are about the way the world works and how people have become almost transfixed by the media, advertising, big food companies and supermarket selling methods. But recent news (at the original time of writing some of this) is really topical – regarding hospital food and the often very poor quality of it. Just when you … Continue reading →

The ugly truth about heating up your food with microwaves

Healthy Homes Posted on by

We found this post detail from Natural Health365 and I thought it ought to be passed on. See the Read More Link below to get the best view of the Natural Health365 website and other information that is very relevant to many of today’s health issues…. (NaturalHealth365) When I first thought of writing about the dangers of microwaves, especially microwave ovens, I hesitated. You see, by now, most health-conscious individuals are at least somewhat aware of the dangers of EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies).  So, I thought, even more people must know about the dangers of microwaving food for human (or pet) consumption … right? Then, I read a startling statistic: To this day, millions of people are buying microwave ovens – and, the numbers keep going up for the last few years! (honestly, I was shocked.) Based on this fact alone, I was convinced that another review of the dangers of microwaving was certainly worth the effort. The ugly truth about heating up your food with microwaves Microwaves use electromagnetic energy (similar to radio waves) set to a specific frequency in order to agitate water molecules in food. As these molecules get increasingly agitated, they begin to vibrate atomically and eventually generate … Continue reading →

Keep the blood sugar and energy levels up!

Healthy Homes Posted on by

A great breakfast to keep the blood sugar and energy levels up, in the morning! How often do you get an energy slump in the morning?? Have you ever watched people in the paper shop early every morning – men off out for a day “on the tools” picking up a bag of crisps, a choc bar and a “high energy” caffeine drink (maybe of a red bovine nature in the name??)…not to mention the cigarettes as well…..!! What else – youngsters off to school and picking up choc bars and fizzy drinks….. It’s quite astonishing how people have NO idea how to feed and nourish a body! Obesity?? I wonder whatever helps THAT to happen!! We found an excellent breakfast in a Patrick Holford book – I’m ashamed to say that I can’t remember which one though. Anyway – we tried this recipe and it works!! Energy levels stay well up all morning and well into the afternoon!! Our breakfast has morphed slightly with the addition of honey & coconut, but the fact remains that energy stays up well…. Amounts can be adjusted to suit taste As originally spotted in a Patrick Holford Book Amount Ingredient Detail 3 dessertspoons … Continue reading →

Never felt A Thing!!

Healthy Homes Posted on by

Hello and I hope all well with you. Some while ago we started a a totally different “way of life” and found out something that seemed to indicate that what we do is very helpful to staying well. So what is the “different way of life”?! For several years we were involved with the No 1 UK Tribute to Phil Collins in the marketing department. (Shows for this year on that link!!) At times this involved a long weekend travelling to theatres all over the UK and I got to ride in a the band van with up to 6 other people. One such weekend I went to the rendezvous and two of the good folks were really poorly with very heavy colds etc – I thought “Eh up – this could be interesting!” The weekend passed off with a resounding success for the show but on the journey home, two others aboard the bus were feeling very much under the weather….. The following weekend I learnt that everyone in the truck from that first weekend had gone down hard with  cold / flu type symptoms and some sickness. It turned out also that some of the show members who … Continue reading →

Our Food Supply in Jeopardy: The Case for a High-Quality Multivitamin and Mineral Supplement Good day to you and I hope the rain is helping your gardens and the like! For a good four years we have been learning that soil on today’s farms is VERY depleted and that the harvested crops are really very poor in nutrients and once food is “in the pipeline” to the supermarkets it loses any real nutrients that would help to keep one healthy. There is also a fact that has come to light over the years about wheat no longer being the real wheat from many years ago that used to be a very good product. See here a good book that shows JUST what has happened! One different area that could be (and should be) explored as much as possible are the small farm shops where the freshness and lasting ability of all vegetable is FAR superior to any we have had from the supermarkets. The local farm shop that we use is a place, on first entering, where the smell of the produce is amazing and quite a magical surprise! We have never had any of their produce go off in … Continue reading →

Unhealthy food cravings are a sign of mineral deficiencies

Healthy Homes Posted on by

Friday, April 04, 2014 by: Michael Ravensthorpe (NaturalNews) Most of us have, at one point in our lives, experienced intense cravings for unhealthy foods. Whether it be for chocolate, donuts, salty snacks or refined carbs, our bodies appear to want them — and we’re often all too happy to submit. There’s just one problem: Eating these foods doesn’t seem to end the cravings. What is going on here? Are our bodies playing a cruel joke on us? Well, not quite. Science now understands that these cravings are a sign that your body needs certain minerals that can be found in unhealthy foods but are best acquired from whole foods. Indeed, only by acquiring minerals from natural sources, in which all nutrients are optimized for superior absorption, can we hope to finally end the cravings that plague our lives. Chocolate: magnesium Chocolate is the most commonly-reported craving in the Western world, so it shouldn’t surprise us that it is linked to a nutrient in which a huge number of us are unknowingly deficient: magnesium. According to recent statistics, up to 80 percent of Americans are lacking in this essential macromineral, which is needed for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, … Continue reading →
