Cleanse and Detox
Cleanse and Detox. The words cleanse, detox, diet, for some can be quite emotive, even scary, or a potential joy for remedying digestive issues. What you eat, drink and inhale, literally forms the building blocks of your body, therefore, it’s important to know how to help your body to swap some of the shady, polluted […]
The Way ‘back?’ to Health
The way back to health, or is that, the way to health? As I’m not sure I’ve been at my best yet.. Having visited the M&S at Westfield recently, I bought up as many carrots, organic cucumber, organic spinach, lemons, ginger and a couple of other veggies as I could carry, and it’s brought up […]
Autumn has come Early for Me this Year
Autumn has come early for me this year, the summer fun has been overdone.. Yesterday I acknowledged a realisation about the disconnect between head, heart and gut. I recognise this isn’t a issue for some but also that there is a set of us whom find the art of living according to how we feel, that bit […]
Probiotics, are they useful?
I’ve been recommended to take probiotic supplements for years; ever since I learnt that I had Crohn’s disease, friends and teachers have advised me to take this product or that product to repopulate my flora. The doctors have never told me to do so, I didn’t really appreciate what my flora is and it all […]

Some of the benefits of ingesting Hemp: One of very few vegan sources of complete protein (and is easy to digest) Has balanced omega 3 and omega 6 profile (very important especially if you’ve dry skin, sore joins and/or high cholesterol) Contains the highest amount of essential […]
What is Kefir and How does it work!?
Kefir comes in 2 forms, milk or water kefir. I personally love the thick, and creamy milk Kefir; a super probiotic, tangy, thick and creamy yoghurt/drink, but on a more recent drive to lessen or stop (I’m going to listen to my body here and go with its flow) animal products consumption I’ve moved onto water kefir.
