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 →

Stress reduction and safety on the roads

The Two Second Rule Drive Safely Help For Stress https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/stress/   Some year ago I applied to drive for an excellent company, Unicorn Courtesy Cars in Weymouth. One stipulation was that I take the Advanced Motorist test. The IAM Organisation offers advanced training to motorists and motorcyclists. In the South Dorset area we have meetings available twice a year to show prospective candidates what is involved and what would be expected. These meetings are in spring and autumn and dates can be checked with the Dorset IAM website. Stress reduction and safety on the roads ANY young driver should take this test, it’s well worth it. In fact ALL drivers SHOULD take the test. There are MANY advantages and none more so than learning to drive well with consequent potential savings of  fuel, learning to “read the road / traffic”, learning to anticipate what other can do,  and a real bonus for me….a LOT less stress with consequent increase of confidence and ability behind the wheel. Other advantages could be lower insurance and various offers in different shopping areas. Enquiries would need to be made by individuals. I would suggest that we ALL think we drive well….we can ALL learn … Continue reading →

The England Football Team – Illness Prevented by Sizzling Minerals !

Healthy Homes Posted on by

Hello again! We just received an interesting newsletter from the Simply Naturals Team!!! The England Football Team of 2010 were glad they took our Minerals! We’ve recieved lots of positive feedback and questions recently about our minerals and their positive ability to support our body’s most important function – the immune system. Events of recent times have focused peoples minds into understanding that prevention is better than cure and that they need to make changes now rather than wait in fear of contracting a cold, flu etc. In 2010 a very well known sports trainer & nutritionist started working with our minerals & vitamins for his clients – this ultimately led to them being thoroughly tested before being introduced to the England Football squad. (This is an image from said newsletter) Article Sun Newspaper, June 2010 What happened that season couldn’t give a clearer message about ‘prevention’ and making sure that we ‘bullet proof’ our immune system. For those who remember, they will know that virtually all of the other countries team players and staff went down with a ‘mystery swine-flu virus’ (sound familiar?) that was sweeping through the accomodation areas – but the England team were literally unaffected; the … Continue reading →

Magnesium – The Most Important Mineral?

Healthy Homes Posted on by

Hello again – hope all well with you and yours. We received a newsletter from Simply Naturals that says it yet again for magnesium! Magnesium – The ‘Wonder’ Mineral? For some, magnesium is considered the most important of minerals, playing a role in over 300 enzyme reactions in the human body. Its many functions include helping with muscle and nerve function, regulating blood pressure, and supporting the immune system.   An adult body contains around 25 grams of magnesium of which 50–60% is stored in our skeletal system. The rest is present in muscle, soft tissues, and bodily fluids.   With the continued depletion of minerals in our soils (especially intensively farmed foods) many people do not get enough magnesium in their diet, although deficiency symptoms can go undetected in otherwise healthy people.   Magnesium deficiency has been linked with a range of health problems & complications, so people should ensure they achieve a good, plant source magnesium intake.   Almonds, spinach, and cashew nuts are some of the foods highest in magnesium, but it is getting increasingly difficult to obtain the levels needed without over-eating these and other foods.   Magnesium supplementation is becoming more acceptable in aiding people’s … Continue reading →

Is Artificial Sweetener Poisoning You?

Healthy Homes Posted on by

It never ceases to amaze me that so many people will use the artificial sweetener, aspartame. Mind you most people will not realise the danger I would guess…it’s also in SO many products consumed daily by MANY people and they don’t know the potential problems associated with this product… Aspartame, more commonly known as NutraSweet or Equal, is one of the most toxic substances being consumed today. The artificial sweetener, currently used in over 4,000 products worldwide, entertains a sordid past and has been one of the most tested and debated food additives in the history of the FDA. While the manufacturer maintains that aspartame is not a danger to your health, the scientific studies don’t necessarily agree. The Ingredients of Aspartame Aspartic Acid: Aspartate is a neurotransmitter in the brain, facilitating information from one neuron to another. Too much aspartate allows an influx of calcium into the brain cells, triggering an excessive amount of free radicals which kill the cells. Aspartate is referred to as an “excitotoxin” because of the nerve cell damage that it causes. Many chronic illnesses have been attributed to long term excitotoxin exposure, including multiple sclerosis, ALS, memory loss, hormonal problems, hearing loss, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s … Continue reading →

The Spark Plugs of Life!

Healthy Homes Posted on by

Hello again and I hope the weather is not being too tricky yet again for you. Did You Know the Reason So Many People Are Suffering in Pain Around The World is Because Their Bodies Are Crying Out For Minerals? …but not just any old minerals!! You must give your body all the raw materials it requires to maintain and renew itself in order to enjoy a healthy and disease free body. Yet so many people on the planet are suffering needlessly because they simply don’t know why or how. Also the raw natural nutrients so vital to your health can be challenging to find. Many years of commercial farming, food processing, mining, irrigation, pesticides, synthetic additives and acid rain have destroyed and removed the life-giving minerals from our soil. Mineral deficient soils are then used to grow and cultivate our food. Obviously if the life-giving minerals are not in the soil, they are not in the food and devastatingly they are not in YOU. Because of this, your food is highly likely to be lacking in the essential minerals necessary to live a long and healthy life. In fact, Dr. Wallach has stated that one sentence has killed more … Continue reading →
