Why using cacao as part of meditation practice is good

Cacao ceremonies have been part of our culture for centuries. A ritual seen as the ultimate heart-opener. In addition to being packed full of vitamins and minerals and neuro-transmitters that support dopamine and serotonin – our feel good hormones-, cacao increases blood flow to the brain which can help you to strengthen your awareness and focus, taking your meditation practice to another level. It is said to help the body to heal, detoxify and to give your immune system a good boost. The experience of raw ceremonial chocolate can also assist in energetic healing and receiving clarity in the

How to stop tummy bloat

Have you ever chosen clothes knowing that if you’re having an off day and your tummy is bloated they’ll never fit? Or put a beautiful dress back on the shelf knowing that it’s destined to be one of these items that will languish at the back of your wardrobe because you’ll never know if your tummy is going to show up as a bloated mess or not. This used to be me. I had a wardrobe full of clothes that only ever fit on ‘good day’. Days when my tummy wasn’t distended and cramping! Since changing the way I eat and understanding what was causing my symptoms, plus studying nutrition, gut heath and the

Is there any solution to my IBS

Do you suffer from IBS and want to know what you can do to relieve IBS symptoms? These tips and advice may help to ease your IBS. If you're one of the estimated 20% of the UK population to be affected by Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) you'll know that at best it's an inconvenience and at worst, it's life-changing, stressful and debilitating. Around twice as many women as men experience IBS and I speak to a lot of women who experience discomfort on a daily basis. While no two people suffer the same IBS symptoms I’ve noticed some common similarities and treatments which can help. Symptoms of IBS

How to read Food labels to improve your health

I was teaching one of my 30 days to healthy living groups how to read the labels on their food products recently and realised that this was a much needed skill that so many people lack. One of the things I stressed was how important it is to read the label on the back and not the marketing hype that goes on the front of the pack! Here’s what to look for if you want to be educated in what you’re putting in our body. The most important and reliable information on the label is found on the reverse in the nutrition facts and ingredients listing. Just looking at the front of the packaging with the

Ali’s Super Green Juice

I love a green juice mid-morning or mid-afternoon if I’m feeling like I need a break in the office or am just back from a dog walk. They seem to pick me up and provide a spring to my step. All that green goodness is a real energy boost. Although I’ve added so many greens I like to get a scoop of the Arbonne Greens Balance in there too as it has a broad spectrum of fruits and veg in it so you’re getting much more than your single 1 portion. It’s also super alkalsying to your digestive system too which I love. If you’re having a Green Juice post a workout why not add a scoop or two of pure Vegan

Ali’s Superfood Protein Bars

I love a refined sugar free protein bar that is also gluten free and these are just one of my best inventions. Not only are they packed with protein and super foods but they are super tasty – they’ll keep for a week in an airtight container (if you’re lucky) – they never last that long in our house! Give them a try and let me know what you think. Ingredients ½ cup quinoa flakes ½ cup gluten free oats ground into flour ½ cup Arbonne vanilla protein powder A pinch pink Himalayan Salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup

Ever felt like a bad mother?

Ever felt like a terrible mother? That was me two weeks ago as I put Miss H on the school bus which was taking her to the airport and a 10 hour flight to Sri Lanka for a hockey tour. I know what you’re thinking, how lucky is she? And yes she is, so why did I feel so bad? She had everything she needed for the trip, new bikini’s, tour kit, hockey stick, my favourite mineral suncream and tonsillitis! Yes the tonsillitis had come on with 2 days to departure and she was travelling with the biggest bag of medication you’ve ever seen! We were hitting it hard with both antibiotics and herbal remedies
