Cardamom Coconut Custard and Choc Chia plus health benefits

By Leave a Comment

This cardamom recipe appeals to me more than what seems normal! Maybe it’s the mad alliteration. Perhaps it’s because cardamom is a traditional medicine and I like that. We even have a new homeopathic remedy made from it. But really who cares, it tastes great. Cardamom seeds There are between 8 and 16 seeds in each cardamom pod. You have to cut it or bash it with a rolling pin to split open the pod to get at the seeds. Then if you are wanting to use the seeds for a recipe, it's good to know that they will pretty quickly lose their flavour when ground and exposed … [Read more...] about Cardamom Coconut Custard and Choc Chia plus health benefits

Luna☺ So, recently I gave the green light for my son to get a dog. While she is “his” dog, Luna has joined our family and our home and she is absolutely gorgeous.

My adventures with intermittent fasting diet

By Leave a Comment

Intermittent Fasting - Starving in the midst of Plenty I’ve never been one to follow the diet fads.  I love my food too much and really can’t stand feeling hungry. Until recently reaching a stage in my life known as Perimenopause, I’ve been pretty lucky genetically and haven’t had to work too hard at keeping within a healthy body weight. I’ve always been of the mindset that eating healthy food and getting enough exercise are all you need to do. It’s all I’ve ever needed to do, anyway, but now there are questions over insulin resistance in menopause. While I’ve … [Read more...] about My adventures with intermittent fasting diet

Eczema homeopathy and dairy Intolerance

By Leave a Comment

Toby's story A story of homeopathy for eczema in babies What does a homeopath do when she can't fix her own child's eczema? Toby is my third child. When I brought him home from the hospital, I wanted to turn around and go straight back. The food may well be horrendous, but at least someone else makes it for you. There are a lot of jokes going around that once you have three children, you may as well go and have another one because it makes very little difference in the scheme of things. I began to understand exactly what was behind all of those jokes as I did my … [Read more...] about Eczema homeopathy and dairy Intolerance

Getting enough Protein in a Vegetarian Diet

By Leave a Comment

Before you assume I’m some kind of accomplished vegetarian, I’m not. (Because here I am writing about getting enough protein in a vegetarian diet). Actually, I failed miserably at being vegetarian; not because I didn’t try, but because my body just didn’t suit that kind of diet. I didn’t want to admit the shameful truth to myself, even after doing my best to ignore the sinfully amazing smells emanating from every chicken shop I walked past, that made my mouth water in desperate craving. Even when I put on twelve kilos, my hair started falling out and my nails … [Read more...] about Getting enough Protein in a Vegetarian Diet

Lectins: The surprise hidden danger in your healthy diet?

By Leave a Comment

Arthritis, heart disease, weight gain and leaky gut It’s not all in your head… It’s all in your gut!! Beans, legumes and cashews are good for us, right? They contain protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. But they also contain large amounts of ‘anti-nutrients’ called lectins. Lectins are the protective part of these plant-based foods and they are highly toxic to insects and animals. They are designed to paralyse insects that are trying to eat them so that they can grow and thrive. So why are Lectins considered one of the biggest hidden dangers in your 'healthy' … [Read more...] about Lectins: The surprise hidden danger in your healthy diet?

GARLIC GOLD FOR HEALTH

Chop, chew or crush your garlic for maximum immune support If you are into FOOD AS MEDICINE then garlic is GOLD for health benefits. Garlic has been used both as a food and a medicine since the ancient Greeks. We know, because they wrote about garlic’s benefits even then.
