23.01.2022 7 Reasons Why We Should All Be Enjoying Ghee! The benefits of Ghee are no secret, it has been used in Ayurveda for centuries to enhance ‘Ojas’ (life energy) and our immune systems. Our 100% Certified Organic Sol Ghee not only tastes delicious with its unmistakable nutty aroma, but here are some of its many health benefits. 1. GHEE SUPPORTS DIGESTIVE HEALTH... Ghee helps convert fibre into butyric acid. This short chain fatty acid supports the health and healing of your small and large intestine. Your body uses intestinal bacteria to create butyric acid, which it uses for energy and intestinal wall support. 2. GHEE REDUCES INFLAMMATION Due to those butyric acid boosting properties, Sol Ghee is a natural anti-inflammatory. In recent research, butyric acid has been shown to decrease inflammation, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. Ghee is now recommended for some people with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease to ease inflammation. 3. GHEE IS LACTOSE FREE Even though ghee is made from butter, the milk solids and impurities have been removed, so most people who are lactose or casein intolerant have no issue with ghee. 4. GHEE IS HIGH IN OMEGA’S AND VITAMINS Sol Ghee is rich in essential Omega fatty acids 3 and 9. Ghee is also full of healthy fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, D, E, and K. These fatty acids and vitamins are vital for promoting bone and brain health, and for boosting the immune system. 5. GHEE LOWERS CHOLESTEROL AND PROMOTES WEIGHT LOSS Studies have shown that ghee can reduce cholesterol both in the serum and intestine, it does this by triggering an increased secretion of biliary lipids. The benefits of maintaining a healthy digestive tract will also foster an environment of better health and weight loss. The energy generated from the medium chain fatty acids can be used to burn other fats in the system and help with weight loss. 6. GHEE IS RICH IN CLA’S Ghee is rich in CLA's (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), an antioxidant with possible cancer prevention properties according to nutritionists. Sol Ghee is made from the Organic butter of grass-fed cows, which is one of the highest sources of CLA. 7. GHEE HAS A HIGH SMOKE POINT Sol Ghee is a healthy cooking oil due to its high smoke point - (250C / 480F). Use Sol Ghee as a healthy alternative to butter or in place of oil. Perfect for frying, sautéing, baking and roasting. Try it stirred through steamed rice; delicious! Ghee does not need refrigeration; it does not spoil easily and can be kept as a shelf staple.

19.01.2022 Dr Zoo! Natural skincare products for pets. Especially great for pets prone to itchy and irritated skin. The team behind Dr Zoo has a background in creating natural products for humans (MooGoo Skin Care). They have used our expertise to develop a natural range of skin care for our pets. As you know, pets share some of the same skin problems as humans. Many pet owners began using MooGoo Shampoo on their animals with awesome results, but the skin of our pets is a little bi...t different than ours, so the products have been modified by adjusting the pH to suit them. The Natural Calming Shampoo is made using a combination of six gentle Coconut and Glucose-based cleansers rather than just one detergent (SLS), which can irritate the skin. This gentle formula also includes nourishing ingredients such as Aloe Vera to help soothe and calm the skin. To moisturise and condition the coat we formulated the Natural Nourishing Conditioner with natural and oils like Jojoba Oil. A favourite among humans and animals! Available in-store Nose & Paw Butter, Natural Calming Shampoo, Natural Nourishing Conditioner, Natural Dry Shampoo, Natural Sun Cream and Grooming Cream Photo and copy credit Dr Zoo! #drzoo #naturalpetcare #mountaincreekwholefoods #canberrapets #dogallergy #naturalskincare #canberrawellness #canberrahealth #canberradogs #canberralife

Available in body wash and body lotion. How they make their body wash? Shea butter and coconut oil are mixed together and heated. A natural saponifier made from ashes of plantain leaves and tree barks is added, then the mixture is cooked over heat, stirring constantly for 30-60 minutes until the hot saponification process is completed. The hot soap is scooped into a large metal bowl, where the soap expands up into a palm-frond basket and cools. Cooled soap is placed onto palm frond mats to dry in the sun. This truly natural liquid hand and body soap is ultra-moisturizing and gentle for skin. Amazing!

08.01.2022 LOOKING AFTER YOUR MICROBIOME The microbiome is the entire ecosystem of microorganisms, like bacteria, viruses and yeast, that live on and inside our bodies. It’s your body’s own ecosystem, as unique as you are and ever changing with your diet, environment and your season of life.... We need a balanced gut microbiome for healthy digestion, immune function, mental health and general well-being. A healthy, holistic lifestyle featuring regular exercise and a balanced diet helps to maintain bacterial diversity in our gut. Good food for the gut includes: Insoluble fibre from wholegrains, nuts and seeds, legumes, and the outer skins of fruit and veggies. Soluble fibre from fruits, veggies and oats. Prebiotic foods like bananas, grapefruit, custard apple, sweetcorn and oats. These stimulate the growth and activity of friendly bacteria in the gut. Probiotic foods like kimchi, kombucha, pickles, kefir and yoghurt with live and active cultures. These put some good bacteria into our gut. We can also support our microbiome with a probiotic supplement. Premedy High Strength Probiotic contains 15 strains of naturally sourced probiotics, including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria strains, to increase the beneficial bacteria in our gut and to support healthy gastrointestinal function. #PREMEDY #probiotic #probiotics #healthygut #guthealth #canberrawellbeing #canberrahealth #canberrawellness #mountaincreekwholefoods
