23.01.2022 You dont need to be vegan to just love more veggies

16.01.2022 I'm so pleased to announce that I will be starting this week as an in-store and consulting Naturopath at Go Vita Morisset. I will work in-store on Thursday (and soon Friday), and some Saturday mornings. I will also be doing consultations on Tuesdays and a few Saturday afternoons per month. I'd love it if you would like their Facebook page too:) Click on the photo. https://www.facebook.com/govitamorisset/

14.01.2022 A study just out from the University of Newcastle has found we are ingesting a teaspoon of microplastics on average every week. That's equivalent to a credit c...ard's worth of plastic! The biggest source is tap and bottled water, with authors alarmingly stating that there are no filtration systems that can filter out those sub-micron phase particles. The implications for our health are not yet fully elucidated but include enhanced inflammatory responses, disruption of the gut microbiome, cellular proliferation and necrosis, alterations of endogenous metabolites, genotoxicity, oxidative stress, inhibition of nutrient absorption, and altered reproduction processes. Nanoplastic size and hydrophobicity enables their passage through the placenta and blood-brain barrier. It was also found that microbes colonised on the surface of ingested microplastics may serve as a vector of harmful bacteria. Best, Henry https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6132564/

09.01.2022 A PLEA TO ALL PARENTS - PLEASE RESEARCH AND BECOME AWARE OF THE DANGERS OF EMFS AND 5G....... BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. WE ALREADY KNOW THE DANGERS OF EXPOSING C...HILDREN TO EMFS. Children are using mobile phones from a younger and younger age. Baby monitors and baby toys using wi-fi are flooding the market (https://ehtrust.org//cell-phoneswir/ridiculous-wi-fi-tech/) Children are being exposed to wi-fi in the home and now all day long as they sit in their classrooms at school. It will be years before the full extent of the damage to our children is realised - and now, instead of taking action to reduce exposure, another and even more dangerous level of radiation is being added with 5G. Children and pregnant women are most vulnerable to the effects of wireless radiation. Research repeatedly shows that a child’s brain and body absorbs more radiation than an adult brain due to a child’s thinner skull and unique physiology. https://ehtrust.org//resources-for-parents-on-health-risk/ Specific areas of the eyes and critical parts of the brain absorbed between 2 to 5 times more cell phone radiation in the youngest child model compared to the adult model. Children’s health specialists are concerned that higher exposures to unprecedented levels of microwave radiation pose risks of permanent damage to vision, hearing and brain development, and cancer. https://ehtrust.org/new-publication-children-absorb-2-5-ti/ There are decades of peer reviewed studies demonstrating serious biological health effects from low level microwave radiation including neurological damage, DNA breaks, oxidative stress, immune dysfunction, sleep and memory disturbances, ADHD, abnormal behavior, sperm dysfunction, and brain tumors. These effects have occurred at exposure levels far far lower than the safety standards most governments use. https://ehtrust.org//resources-for-parents-on-health-risk/ Researchers from the University of California School of Public Health in Los Angeles have published two studies (2008 and 2012) looking at tens of thousands of children. Researchers concluded that children exposed to cell phones both before and after birth were more likely to have emotional or behavior problems than children who were not exposed to phones. In 2017, the largest study to date to use data on prenatal cell phone use collected from parents in five countries found a link between high prenatal cell phone use and hyperactivity/inattention problems in children. LINKS TO THE FOLLOWING AND MORE CAN BE FOUND HERE: https://www.sciencedirect.com//artic/pii/S2213879X14000583 There are multiple studies showing that children absorb more MWR than adults. In 1996 a study reported that the absorbed MWR penetrated proportionally deeper into the brain of children age 5 and 10 compared to adults’ brains [2]. In 2008 Joe Wiart, a senior researcher for French telecom and Orange reported that the brain tissue of children absorbed about two times more MWR than adults’ brain tissue [3]. A 2009 study reported the CNS absorption by children is significantly larger (2) because the RF [MWR] source is closer and skin and bone layers are thinner, and bone marrow exposure strongly varies with age and is significantly larger for children (10) [4]. In 2010, Andreas Christ and team reported children's hippocampus and hypothalamus absorbs 1.63.1 times higher and the cerebellum absorbs 2.5 times higher MWR compared to adults’; children's bone marrow absorbs 10 times higher MWR radiation than in adults, and children's eyes absorb higher MWR than adults [5]. A myelin sheath covering neurons acts as an insulation of the electrical activity of neurons. In human embryos, the first layer develops from mid-gestation to 2 years of age and continues into adolescence [21]. Myelination of the brain is not complete until early adulthood. Children are at greater risk from exposure to carcinogens than adults, and the younger the child, the higher the risk https://www.sciencedirect.com//artic/pii/S2213879X14000583 FURTHER READING Fetal and Neonatal Effects of EMF Prof. Carlo V.

08.01.2022 Stress is an unavoidable part of life and the physical effects you experience are part of your body's natural, evolutionary response to a perceived threat. Your... body produces stress hormones that are helpful in the moment when needed. However, our modern lifestyle lends itself to long-term stress and prolonged elevated levels of these hormones can potentially impact systems throughout your body. This is why it’s important to try and regulate your stress response and soothe the production of stress hormones once the situation has passed, to help you mitigate any negative effects. See more

08.01.2022 Cuba is set to expand its Natural and Traditional Medicine (NTM) industry next year. Currently there are more than 30 research projects underway in modalities s...uch as homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, etc. The Cuban government has acknowledged that NTM contributes to improving the quality of life of the population and should be included in health promotion, disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of the Cuban people. http://www.cadenagramonte.cu//31708:cuba-will-strengthen-s

05.01.2022 Neither drinking milk nor taking calcium can prevent #osteoporosis. That's because osteoporosis is not about the loss of calcium like osteomalacia or rickets. I...nstead, osteoporosis is about the loss of "tensile strength" which involves collagen, hormones, the immune system, and many other factors. . One of the best ways to maintain healthy bones is to maintain healthy MUSCLES because the biology of bone and muscle are interconnected. I discuss all this and more in my new perimenopause and menopause book, coming March 2021.

03.01.2022 I was so hippie (how hippie were you, Aviva?) that I started sewing my own homemade cotton pads in my teens - back in 1981 - and used those for years before org...anic commercial pads and tampons hit the shelves. My husband - well, he was so crunchy that he’d rinse ‘my pads bucket’ out for me! (Awww). Eventually I used a combo of my own and purchased organic pads/tampons - so when I had to be out and about (hospital shifts, overnight births), I had the convenience of disposable options. Now there are so many wonderful options to choose from - from beautiful flannel pads to period panties to diva cups to organic disposable pads and tampons. All have pros and cons depending on your preferences, needs, and flow. But no matter what - going organic for period products is really important to your health - and for the health of our planet. Here’s why... Tampons and pads, fall under the FDA category medical devices which are subject to a lower standard of scrutiny than even cosmetics and aren’t monitored for ingredient safety. But they are going into our vaginas, which are full of blood vessels and lymph glands, that allow for the direct absorption of chemicals into your circulatory system. And get this: companies aren’t required to disclose ingredients in menstrual products - they can have just about anything in them - and they do. One study found that tampons and pads may have any of these *unlisted* ingredients: Dioxins from the bleaching process Furans Pesticide Residues Unknown Fragrance Chemicals Adhesive Chemicals, such as Methyldibromo Glutaronitrile Exposure to any or all of these endocrine-disrupting, allergenic, and/or carcinogenic ingredients over a women’s reproductive lifetime (think 400 periods in our lifetime x 5 days per period) may contribute to: Heavy Periods Allergic reactions Endometriosis Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Cancer And more. So, menstruating peeps - it’s really important to go green when you’re seeing red (okay, I just had to let that fly!). Want to learn more about healthier period products? Head over to my article at the link below - and please share your fave products in the comments. https://avivaromm.com/menstrual-products/
