From the monthly archives:
I’ve recently had a few people on the Alkaline Diet Course ask me if they really need to buy a juicer to get alkaline, and every time I’ve answered a big YES with a million reasons why!
And there are a million reasons! However, to keep it simple and hard-hitting (as I like to…)
Drinking fresh juice is perhaps the most amazing gift you can give yourself!
Why? Let’s find out…

This recipe is really simple to make and can be used with almost any meal to give it a little spice, a little extra flavour and some zing.
I love it and I use it all of the time. It only takes a few minutes to prepare and if you are starting to alkalise then it uses ingredients you’re likely to have in the house all of the time.
Here it is:

This week I bring you my interview with the newest internet superstar, Chris Guillebeau. Since launching his blog, The Art of Non Conformity (AONC) in 2008, it has risen to become one of the 5k most read blogs on Earth. No mean feat given that there are over 135 million blogs currently in existence. There are very, very few blogs that have had such a meteoric rise as this.
Chris writes on the subjects of life planning, personal development, travel, entrepreneurship and unconventional living. He blogs about his own life, his own learnings and perspectives and invests a hell of a lot of time into helping others to live their dream life too. In his own words:

Everyone gets cravings and they can sometimes feel like the most powerful urges on Earth.
When your body wants something it wants something. And when your body knows you’re not supposed to have it, it feels like the craving is ten times stronger.
I know what this is like. The craving for something sweet after lunch or dinner is the one that always used to get me. Or the lust for any food after I’d had a few beers (back in the day) used to get the better of me every time (and man, I ate some weird s**t!). For others it is that craving for chocolate that hits randomly, or the desire to hit the biscuit barrel just after 11am.

‘BUT WHAT DO I SNACK ON?’ - That is the question I get asked more than any other. Tough one. Or is it?
In my five (nearly six) years of living this alkaline lifestyle – including transitions, crashes, perfection, transitions, crashes, perfection and then the happy place I’m in now - I truly believe that one of the key ways to guarantee long-term healthy living is this:
Master the snack.
In my experience I find that most people slack off when they’re hungry. When you’re hungry and there is nothing easy, quick and healthy to grab, you’re most likely to be naughty. And then it snowballs.

The whole Swine Flu thing is picking up pace again in the news, with the Daily Doom Mail, in particular, running with a series of quite alarmist, but paper-selling ’stories’.
I have two issues with Swine Flu:

Osteoporosis and bone weakness effects one in three women and 1 in 12 men over the age of 50. In total, osteoporosis causes 310,000 fractures in the UK every year. This is a dramatic statistic and one that actually surprised me. That is really high.
With this being such a serious issue you would wonder why the most commonly given advice by Doctors, Hospitals, our Government & the media is to consume more dairy.
This is simply stupid, so let me make this point clearly:
Dairy weakens bones.

Every now and then I really believe in doing a mini-cleanse, a 2-3 day cleanse to give your body a real boost, a flood of nutrients and hydration to flush out toxins, melt away fat and experience an unbelievable energy surge (that lasts). In fact, all of these benefits last because they are based on a foundation of nutritional abundance rather than restriction or starvation. This cleanse is not about consuming only one thing, or (lemon and syrup) water. It is definitely not a fast. It is about giving your body more. More vitamins, more minerals, more nutrients, more hydration, more antioxidants, more healthy fats, more of everything.
