Vitamin C... for Colds and Flus

Your immune system is under attack every day, due to so many factors like; stress, lack of rest, and poor diet.  These three situations all contribute to reduing the strength of your immune system and weakening your body’s response, and folks its all about response.  Response is the difference between you getting a cold or flu or fighting it off before it takes hold.  Unfortunately we often don’t think about bolstering our immune response until it’s too late.  Until the cold or flu is right there in our body, and we are fighting with whatever immune support we have already got stored up.  Vitamin C is a water soluable nutrient, which means we have to get it outside of our bodies, so we can store it up again… It’s a tricky one to balance, and is always used up in stressful situations, as are the B Vitamins…

3 Questions Before You Eat!

So you are about to eat something, besides the obvious question, which is ‘am I hungry?‘, there are 3 questions you need to ask yourself about the food you are eating before you eat it!  Why? because generally the human race has lost touch with what food is for and I’m guessing that you reading this now, may also have lost touch!  You may not, you may be completely on top of your food elements, however if you are out of touch, you are going to find this interesting.  Understanding and implemting the answers to these 3 questions may give you extra quality healthy years to your life.

The first question to ask is….‘Will this food ‘nourish’ me?”  Or another way to put that is; ‘will this food actually give me something of value?  You want to feel great after eating your food, not tired and worn out!

You want to be sure that the food will be absorbed into the blood stream, after the journey into the small intestine,  that nutrients are nourishing the rest of your body.  So the first question is Will this food nourish me, and if you can’t answer YES to that, then why are you eating this food?

Sharon preparing Colonic area

During the last few weeks, I’ve had the opportunity, or should I say I’ve made the opportunity to clean out my body, and give myself a well needed boost of vitality and energy.  First I went down to Melbourne to catch up with family, which was very important to me, especially as my mother is now in aged care and my father lives nearby, alone!  I like to keep an eye on them both, and prepare fresh, vegetarian meals for dad with lots of salad and variety.  He loves that I make something special out of virtually nothing and I love to make something special for him that I know will nourish him.  I’m sure each time I visit a little of my healthy ways rub off on him.

Lotions and Potions to Keep you Well!

There’s a wonderful, exceptional little shop in Tewantin Village, ( just 10 minutes out of Noosa for all the interstate readers).  Any way, this shop is well worth the look, as it has such a wide variety of health product and just a little mystery!  Roxanne and her daughter Sam are mostly there to serve you and have the brightest and most cheerful smiles to greet you.  I have some of my books available at the little shop, (In The Raw, Lose Weight While You Sleep and What A Lot Of Waffle), but there are other books on sale as well as mine, not to mention the lovely natural clothing range and assorted crystals and oils.   Oh, and they have a very good gluten free range of ingredients and whole foods… Read the rest of this entry

high fibre foods

There’s no other way to ask that!  Quite frankly, if you don’t poo, eliminate, ‘shit’, you are pretty much unwell.  It occured to me when I went to the toilet today, and I did a decent poo, that this was a relief, a wonderful anatomical bodily function that if I couldn’t do, would mean serious repercussions.  I got up from the throne and looked back down at what I just let go, and was content and satisfied that I was in pretty good shape.  The colour of my waste was light brown, it came out easy, I didn’t strain, and there wasn’t any mucus around it.  Oh and while we are on the subject of ‘poo’, I didn’t just go once, this was the second time in a few hours.  I’m not trying to be a smarty pants here, I just think this is so important and often a subject that is taboo for some folk.  We have to talk about these things.  At Sunshine Ridge Retreat, we talk about poo all the time.  It’s a life or death sort of subject, so get used to it.

If you are eating a high fibre diet, drinking lots of water and moving your body with the right amount of exercise, you should be eliminating at least 3 times a day.  Read the rest of this entry

Dr. Bircher Benner, a leading Swiss nutritionist was the first to develop the recipe for Muesli and this was based on raw oats, fresh fruit, nuts and milk.  An old time nerve tonic was based on raw oats, and Dr. Benner designed the recipe to restore the health of elderly patients in the best way possible – with good nutrition and a pleasant mountain air environment.  Most modern day Muesli imitations are very acid forming due to poor combinations of refined and heat affected mixed grains, also these granola cereals that claim to have heaps of goodness in them, are just a con, due to the extra fat and sugar added to the grains.  I have already given you a wonderful Muesli recipe in a previous post, the purpose of this post is to inspire you to use Oats more in your every day diet.
