Green juice detox

Tomorrow the 20th November I shall begin a 7 day green juice detox; Its something I usually engage in twice a year to clean away the cobwebs so to speak!

Everyone can benefit from green juice fasting. Regardless of how healthy one’s lifestyle or diet might be, we live in a toxic world. On a chronic basis, we are all exposed to harmful chemicals in our environment. Most foods contain pesticides, preservatives and additives that are difficult for the body to process. Additionally, the air and water supplies of most populated areas are contaminated. Indiscriminate use of pharmaceuticals and habits like alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and other drugs push the body into toxic overload. Other habits on an emotional/psychological level have a similar deleterious effect. Moreover, the fast-paced multitasking lifestyle that has become the collective norm is extremely taxing on the physiology.

In short, most bodies are being given demands that they cannot sustain. When our bodies become overloaded, elimination processes slow, overworked organs are unable to finish their respective tasks, and toxins become embedded in our systems. The results may or may not be apparent to the naked eye, but inevitably lead to diseases and decrease our capacity to function optimally.

The most common symptoms of Toxic Overload Are:

low energy/fatigue
poor concentration/memory
strong food cravings
depression
digestive problems
aches and pains
sugar/caffeine/alcohol/drug dependence
frequent illnesses
excess weight
disease
premature aging

Juice fasting allows the body to divert the energy normally expended on the digestive process and use it, instead, on the eradication of toxicity, acidity, and other bodily contaminants.

7 Vegetarian Superfoods for Protein

When we think of protein automatically we think animal products. We hear from doctors and nutritionist that we should limit the amount of animal products we consume in order to have a healthy balanced diet. Many of us do not know that there are plenty of vegetarian sources of protein on the market today that are great alternatives.

The popular vegetarian sources of protein that some of us know of are Tofu, Edamame (Soybeans), Beans, Lentil, Nuts and Seeds which are great sources of protein either alone or combined with whole grains. Most of us know that vegetarian sources of protein are better for our health because they are easier to digest which means less strain on our digestive system.

I am sure you have heard of superfoods, these are nutrient dense foods that can assist the body in the metabolism of foods, improve digestion, help aid weight loss and provide an array of vitamins and minerals our body needs to have a healthy immune system. Superfoods can supply a plant based diet such as vegetarian or vegan diet with sources of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fibre, chlorophyll, and a complete, balanced gluten-free sources of a complete protein.

Here’s a list of seven amazing superfoods. All of the superfoods mentioned are a complete source of protein and some have higher amounts of protein than any animal protein (i.e. Steak= 25% of protein).

1. Chia Seeds - this is a perfect food, containing essential fatty acids, protein, as well as being a soluble fibre.

2. Spirulina- Highest form of protein found anywhere in the world (70%). This superfood is a great recommendation for those seeking to lose weight and maintaining great health. Use: add a few tablespoons to smoothies and drinks. One ounce contains 16g of protein.

3. Bee Pollen - These granules created by bees from flowering plants is another nutrient dense food that has 5 to 7 times more protein than beef. Other than all the immune supporting properties bee pollen is a great antidote for fighting off allergies, particularly sinusitis and hay fever. Use: Sprinkle on salad, smoothies, and cereal (hot or cold).

4.Wild Blue-Green Algae - This superfood is more of a complete protein (60%) than beef or soy. It is high in many vitamins and minerals which will help your body by providing more energy and improve brain function. Use: Add a few tablespoons to smoothies and drinks.

5. Quinoa - This seed often mistaken for a grain is source of complete protein and is gluten free as well. Use: Replace rice, flour, oatmeal, and make interesting delicious salads.

6. Hemp - Complete source of protein (36%) Hemp is also a rich and balanced source of Omega-3 and Omega-6 including the rare form of GLA (Gamma Linoleic Acid). GLA has been shown to help maintain heart health, healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels and aid in hormonal balance.

7. Goji Berries -These red berries are not only a source of complete protein with 18 amino acids but have 500 times more vitamin C per ounce of oranges. Use: Add to smoothies, granola/ trail mix, and salads.

Baby-weaning

kafielding — Wed, 09 May 2012 14:16:29 +0000

A babies gut is immature and takes time to develop before it can handle proper food. it takes 3 months before it has any digestive enzymes. Improper weaning can lead later to food intolerances and food sensitivity.

A working parent myself I realize how the reality of busy lives and existing entrenched habits can make it difficult to follow optimum nutrition for yourself and your children. There will be no rules just guidance providing you with all the necessary information to enable you to find your own way.

This workshop aims to:

Give you the best and most current information that is available to help you raise a healthy child including the right amount from each of the food groups.
Background knowledge on the basic physiology of our babies.
Provide advice on how to deal with allergies and intolerances and how to try to prevent them in the first place!
discuss purees versus baby-led weaning.
Special diets including vegetarian, vegan and raw.
Equipment which is useful.
Demonstration of different recipes.
Recommended books.

My workshops are small limited to 6 parents and take place in my lovely home in Hove. You are more than welcome to bring your baby along to the session. I am also an Ofsted registered childminder so my house is very child friendly!

Bridging the Gap

kafielding — Wed, 09 May 2012 14:05:08 +0000

‘Bridging the Nutritional Gap’ is a beautifully packaged, bite size workshop designed to help YOU understand WHY you may be vitamin and mineral deficient and WHICH simple steps you can take to rectify this, maintain radiant health and prevent chronic ill health.   We are bombarded daily with media advice on the latest supplements we should be taking or foods we should be avoiding until we are so confused that we do nothing! As an antidote to this, the best and brightest Nutritional Therapists in the industry have designed ‘Bridging the Nutritional Gap’ as THE essential guide to diet and supplementation. The real beauty of the workshop is that it simplifies the important information so that you get a true understanding of what you need to do but most importantly you get your own personalised programme and all for less than the cost of an individual consultation.

Two times Nobel Prize Winner Dr Linus Pauling once claimed that “you can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency”.

I don’t want you to wait until you are ill before you seriously consider your health – be proactive – educate yourself NOW…..prevention is always better than cure. Having said that, ‘Bridging the Nutritional Gap’ CAN help you to make massive improvements if you are ill and it is equally perfect for you if you are interested in considering Nutrition as a career, need to complete some CPD hours or perhaps just want to meet like minded people in an informal fun setting.   ‘Bridging the Nutritional Gap’ is a simple, cost effective way to make a really big impact on the quality of your life.
