Health Resources

Every day we are surrounded by silent killers. In our lounge, in our kitchen and in our bedroom. In our pocket and on our lap.

Every single electrical appliance in our lives is exposing our body to harmful electromagnetic radiation. And even those that we don’t have control over such as power lines, wiring in buildings, and a whole heap of other technologies such as wireless internet that are so prevalent in our modern lives are all potentially harmful to our health.

I just can’t get enough! Its getting a bit more chilly here in Sydney now as winter kicks in so I’m turning back to warming drinks and this is definitely my favourite:

Redbush (Rooibos) tea with lemon.

So simple, but so lovely too.

Just thought I’d share!

I’ve just read yet another article telling me that diets don’t work. This troubles me.

Hundreds of millions of people have the desire to change their body, or change the way they feel about their body every year. And hundreds of millions of people do something about it. Often they do something about it more than once.

So what exactly is it that troubles me?

The false situation of helplessness that this creates

MSG, or monosodium glutamate, is probably one of the singlemost blamed ingredients of all time. Alongside yeast, dairy and gluten it is often the reason we give for our feelings of illness and lethargy after eating a meal (*cough* takeaway) and many of us now actively seek to avoid it at all costs.

Technically speaking, MSG is the sodium salt of the amino acid L-glutamic. In practice it is used as a potent flavour enhancer which was first used in Japan over a thousand years ago. While it is generally seen as an additive (and therefore unnatural), glutamate is also found in the proteins of meat, vegetables, poultry and milk.

Hello! Sorry there have not been more posts of late, but here I am again to try and impart some words of wisdom/kill five minutes of your day…

So anyway, this is a bit of an experiential post again (much like the jet lag one) in that I’m not actually making any science-based claims but more letting you know about something I have done which has improved my health. I quite like these posts. They’re a bit more real and fun – but rest assured, once I’ve got a couple of big projects out of the way with the site I will get back to more how-to/resource type posts as I know they’re probably more useful.

As some of you may or may not know, I’ve just had a 2 week quick trip back to the UK to head into Energise HQ and work with Callum to plan our year ahead (very exciting). Now, normally I suffer jet lag pretty badly – lots of passing out at 5pm and waking up bright and breezy at 4am. Not good. Especially when you have travelled to work AND socialise.

Affecting at least 1 in 20 people, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a specific type of depression that occurs generally during the dark winter months. Caused by a lack of natural light, SAD is most prevalent during the October to February period in countries such as the UK where there is far fewer hours of daylight and a heavy reliance upon artificial lighting (i.e. those that live the furthest away from the equator).

Experts believe that this lack of light is overwhelmingly the primary cause of SAD as the amount of sunlight that hits our eyes directly affects the levels of certain chemicals and hormones in our brain.
