This week Gareth Edwards, our Alkaline Diet Expert and highly qualified nutritionist, highlights ways how you can achieve better health and a healthy weight by following a diet, exercise and hydration regime based on alkalising – permanently!
The Magic Key to Weight Loss and Increased Health
I’ve been alkalising and …… I’ve put on weight. This true statement raises several interesting points, but fortunately is not the case for the majority of clients who seek my advice, wanting to lose weight. It is fairly rare that somebody comes to see me, with weight loss being their only health goal. In reality excess weight is usually associated with other health challenges of fatigue, elevated markers of risk for cardio-vascular disease (e.g. cholesterol) or other concerns.

In these lingering arctic temperatures and snowy conditions, this is the perfect soup to warm you up nicely!
Ribollita is a famous soup from Tuscany in Italy and like many dishes from this region it has got peasant origins. The word Ribollita literally means “reboiled”, as it was originally made by reheating the leftover vegetable soup from the previous day.
The core ingredients of this Tuscan soup are green vegetables and beans, which make this soup not only delicious but also highly nutritious and alkaline!
Enjoy!

Does your diet contain sufficient levels of healthy and alkaline foods which are the primary source of alkaline minerals?
If not, then your body is likely to be too acidic, which is predominantly caused by a typical Western lifestyle of high stress levels, low levels of exercise and for most, an unhealthy and acidic diet.
An overly acidic diet and lifestyle is one of the core causes for diseases and illnesses common in our Western world such as high blood pressure, high number of strokes, diabetes, cancer, high obesity levels, low energy levels, fatigue, poor digestion and inflammations just to name a few.

Hello again on this fine, sunny Melbourne afternoon. This is going to be a short, but powerful blog post. My kind of blog post. It will give you, as promised a single, simple and unquestionable reason NOT to drink cow’s milk.
If you were bordering on the edge of being a dairy drinker, but not quite sure – this will make your mind up!
Stop Drinking Cow’s Milk – A Clear Reason
I’ve been doing some research into a few customer questions lately, in particular about alkalising and pregnancy. So it turns out that one of the main reasons why people struggle to get pregnant is because of low levels of a hormone called progesterone in the female.

Evening all!
I’ve just read a flippin’ interesting post from Dr Young which really clearly explains and gives a simple understanding of what nausea is and why we experience it.
What’s more there is a really simple way to stop nausea in it’s tracks!
The Cause & Cure for Nausea
Many of us put our trust in modern day medicine that does not even understand the basic physiology or principals of digestion. You cannot find something as simple as the ideology of nausea in ANY medical text or scientific study. In other words, modern day medical science does not know the cause of nausea. I know you would be surprised at the cause of nausea and it is not what you are thinking!

So many relationships get stuck in a cycle of bickering, impatience and intolerance. It is such an easy place to get stuck because these minor arguments and complaints give us a low level benefit. We do actually get something out of them – we get to feel sorry for ourselves.
I have to say, ‘feeling sorry for myself’ is my most disliked emotion. I really do think it is a lazy emotion and to be honest, quite abhorrent. It is such an easy trap to fall into and it is just so damaging to relationships.
But let’s face it, it is also very common. In all manner of relationships (not just with our intimate partner) we subconsciously create rules that we instinctively live by that mean when our partner does something or behaves a certain way then it means x, y or z.

This week Gareth Edwards, our Alkaline Diet Expert and highly qualified nutritionist, writes about the importance and powerful effects of alkaline minerals, as the cornerstone to maintaining the alkaline design of the body and living with health, energy and vitality.
Powerful Alkalinity with These Super-Strength Alkaline Minerals:
“My Granny lived to 97 in good health and she didn’t do any of this alkalising.”
One of the many factors that may have helped her achieve this non-pH miracle, was the relative state of the soil back in 1910, compared to mineral depleted, fertilizer and intensive farming eroded “dust” on which many of crops are grown today.
