Balancing Work, Play and Guilt

balance fun

Most of us would agree that balancing work and family time is one of the hardest tasks under the parenting banner. Whether we work from home or head out to a workplace, either way, most of us feel we are carrying an endless to-do list up Mt Everest. No matter how fit we are for this marathon, there seems to always be one complicating factor—guilt. We are plagued by guilt that we are: a) Compromising our relationships with loved ones b) Not adequately fulfilling our work. So if finances allowed, would giving up work be the answer? Speaking with parents

The wisdom of innocence

Shonagh

Last week, I was blessed to have my eight-year- old Goddaughter, Julia have a sleepover, along with her 6 and three-quarters-year old sister, Chloe (the three-quarters is very important!). We went to the movies, out for a pizza dinner, then home to watch Nickelodeon. I was completely blown away by how well mannered, thoughtful and caring they were. Like little beams of love and light, they brightened my week like nothing has in such a long time. Julia, being slightly older, takes it upon herself to protect and look after her sister. She made sure she was warm during the

8 Juice Recipes Growing Kids Will Love

fruit juices

Are you noticing the juicing movement happening around you? How about the smoothie movement? People are catching on to the fact that vegetable-based juices and smoothies help reverse aging, reduce inflammation in the body, boost energy levels, regulate the bowels and can even help you shed a couple of pounds. These glasses of goodness balance your pH and give you a direct shot of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, protein and oxygen. But, who said juicing is just for grown ups? You can absolutely provide the incredible health benefits that come from juicing to your children as well! Prepare them, prep them and

How To Gain Weight The Healthy Way

girls

Believe it or not I often get asked as a Nutritionist how to gain weight, maybe not as much as how to lose it, but it’s a very good question because it is as important to understand the dietary fundamentals of healthy weight gain as it is healthy weight loss. You would assume that for somebody wanting to gain weight it would be as easy as throwing a few cream buns and tubs of lard down their throat……but in reality this would be as detrimental to an underweight person’s long term health, as it would to someone overweight, not to

2012 Kung Hei Fat Choi-

chinese new year

And the year of change. What can we expect from such a talked about year? Well… I can remember way back in the 70′s people talking about the future possibilities of the end of the Mayan calendar and what it could all mean to the planet and mankind. That was the “dawning of the age of Aquarius”, so naturally there were many who were keen to overlay their ideas of ‘hippiedom’ onto this important relic. Still today opinions of all kinds fly about the place causing fear and upset for many in regards to the end of this cyclic time

Are you Experiencing Enough Passionate Powerful Moments?

BREATHE2

You and I are amazingly powerful. When we are passionate about achieving an outcome, when we are motivated and enthusiastic about doing so, when we deeply want to achieve something, history shows that we can be amazingly effective. We commit huge amounts of time, energy, money, and any other resources that will help us achieve that outcome. Now spend some time contemplating the times in your life when you have felt and acted in this way.

Ins and Outs of Going ‘Gluten-Free’

caution

You’d be hard pressed to walk into a supermarket these days without spotting the words ‘Gluten-Free’ proudly positioned on packaging, jumping out at you like a beacon of health hope. “Oh look” you think, “a gluten-free chocolate brownie…it must be good for me!” You’d be forgiven for thinking that gluten is a very bad thing, as products frequently proclaim their lack of it. But is going gluten free the healthiest choice, or is it just a buzz phrase for the latest marketing hype? Gluten is the natural protein found in many grains, such as wheat, rye, barley, kamut and spelt.

Chakra Two

chakra1

Svadhisthana The second chakra’s sanskrit name is Svadhisthana.  The element in connection to the second chakra is water. Oddly, the color that resonates with this chakra is orange.  It seems strange since water is not associated with this color.  It is located between the navel and root chakra (lowest area of the trunk of our body). The main subjects related to this chakra are the emotions and sexuality.  So like that of water, the goal of this chakra is fluidity- keeping the energy in the body moving.  Like the tides of the sea going in and out, back and forth,

The 5- minute sucker

76VickyLeon clr

When your baby is a tiny newborn, breastfeeding just seems to take ages, doesn’t it? They usually start off with a bit of a sucking frenzy, move into some slower, more leisurely sucks, a few light fluttery ones with a bit of a doze, a nappy change between sides, some burping time, then much of the same on the other side. Before you know it, more than an hour has passed. By the time bubs is settled to sleep, and you can draw breath, it’s time to start unpacking your boobs for the next one. It’s not like this forever.

Alkalizing supplements to improve sport performance & recovery

sb10064761w-001

There are a number of proven alkaline supplements. These are not foods per se, like the Green Food powder I have already discussed. These are supplements that are created with the specific aim of changing your blood pH and buffer pH level. These began as a method of improving sports performance when it was discovered that high levels of physical activity corresponded with high levels of lactic acid production. The high levels of acid caused inflammation, and sodium and magnesium based supplements reduced the inflammation and neutralised acid overload. I recently received an email from the managing director of one
