05.01.2022 Matcha green tea Matcha is the whole green tea leaf ground into a powder. As you are ingesting the whole leaf (rather than the brewed water as with green tea) it is higher in nutrients, antioxidants, fiber, chlorophyll and caffeine. Matcha helps to support energy production, immunity, reduces stress, assists in weight loss and is a potent antioxidant. ... Matcha is full of catechins - a powerful flavonoid and antioxidant. These properties reduce inflammation systemically and support the cardiovascular and immune systems. High levels of an amino acid L-theanine found in matcha has the beneficial effects of reducing stress levels making you feel calm and relaxed. Matcha blocks the ability of digestive enzymes to break down fat, which is a necessary process for fat to be able to enter our cells. Through inhibiting this process the fat is then passed through our system thus not being stored. Matcha is rich in chlorophyll, a potent alkaliser and blood cleanser. Chlorophyll assists in oxygenating the blood allowing for improved circulation of nutrients and minerals. This allows for improved total body wellness and energy levels. Matcha does have caffeine however it is released slowly generally over 6-8 hours, allowing for a sustained energy release. Made with warm almond, coconut, soy or dairy milk makes for a delicious and nutritious winter warming treat.

04.01.2022 My tip for 2016 is being more present when eating a meal. This allows our body to effectively secrete digestive enzymes to avoid bloating, gas, reflux and digestive discomfort.

04.01.2022 Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) Shatavari is generally considered a female tonic, improves vitality, assists with digestion and is highly utilised during times of stress. The adaptogenic (modulates the stress response) properties of shatavari help to assist in the regulation and normalisation of noradrenaline and dopamine. Allowing for a regulated state of these neurotransmitters it helps to reduce feelings of depression. ... Shatavari increases the secretion of the digestive enzymes amylase and lipase, needed for the breakdown and optimal absorption of foods and nutrients. It also helps with reducing pain and burning associated with duodenal ulceration. Lastly but not least important Shatavari is considered an aphrodisiac. Shatavari meaning 'she who possess a hundred husband's'. Talk with your local naturopath if you feel this wonderful herb may help you.

03.01.2022 Strawberries! Strawberries get their vibrant red colour due to large amounts of the powerful antioxidant anthocyanidin.

01.01.2022 Why is water so important! It keeps us hydrated Supports metabolism Regulates body temperature Eliminates toxins and wastes...

Try to aim for at least 2 litres as a minimum or 1 litre for every 20 kilos of body weight.
