Hey everyone.
Over the years of writing and building Team Energise we’ve amassed quite a few resources but they’re a bit scattered about the site now. Sorry about that. I am working on making the blog and website a lot more integrated and easy to find everything, but for the meantime here is everything in one big list:

Hey guys
Just a quick post. Lots of people are looking for one single place to find all of the information they need. I’ve tried to do this as much as possible (see our health resources page, or check the links in the sidebar of this blog) - but Squidoo is a great way to do this too.
So I’ve quickly knocked together an alkaline diet Squidoo lens which lists all of my starter resources alongside a few youtube clips about alkalising, links to some great books on the subject (all profits go to Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation) and links to our newest resources and other great blogs.

A recent study has found that a chemical that is found in chocolate, tea, grapes and blueberries can help to improve memory.

Just thought I’d share!

Every day we slap a load of chemicals on our skin…
…but do we ever think about it like that - or do we just want to look clean and smell nice?
I’ve gotta be honest, I’ve never really given it that much thought. When it comes to my health, I thought more about what I put in my mouth rather than what I put on my skin. But having just read a short article about the new Lynx (Axe if you’re in the States or mainland Europe) antiperspirant in Wired I started thinking a lot more seriously about the potentially harmful effects of some of the products I use on a daily basis. Which is funny really, ‘cos the article had nothing to do with that.
