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…

Love Your Liver!
You have to love your liver, it works so hard for you. Our livers are amazing. Gosh without them we could not digest food, absorb nutrients or dispose of toxic substances from our bodies. So protecting it does much to contribute to our overall health and wellbeing.
As the liver is the major organ for processing nutrients, metabolites, pollutants and excess hormones, it is essentially a ‘waste disposal’ unit for our bodies, all aspects of our health rely on the proper functioning of our liver.
The liver cleans the body’s blood supply of toxic substances by chemically processing them so they can be excreted from our systems. It is also responsible for carbohydrate and protein metabolism as well as the blood lipo porteins (LDL and HDL) which regulate cholesterol, plus clotting factors and other substances crucial to proper blood functions. Do you want to know how to love it?

WALK IT OUT - A KOKODA EXPERIENCE book
The Immune Boosting Trio
Boost Your Immune System
I don’t know about you reading this, but I certainly know that if I don’t keep active, especially during the colder months, my immune system will just pack it in. There is so much evidence to support more physical activity with great immune defence in the colder months.
If you don’t exercise, you will attract more colds and flu’s to your body, and you will suffer from depression orientated conditions. Keeping yourself moving, walking, stretching etc, is the key to maintaining a strong immune system and a happier outlook.
Even when it looks gloomy outside, I suggest you get your coat on, rug up, and lace up your best walkers and get walking. You will feel fantastic after 30 minutes of walking, and have a healthier appetite for a meal. Burning the calories justifies the extra serving if you think you need it. Read the rest of this entry

Fruit and Passion
Eating live food doesn’t mean that you will sacrifice all those great foods that you have become accustomed to. A taste for fresh and delicious fruits, vegetables, cereals and nuts is readily acquired, and a cleaner taste soon discovers a delicacy and sweetness in the raw foods that the highly salted, flavoured and cooked foods never had.
