Raw honey & coconut oil -- 5 fantastic uses of this duo


What about honey vs sugar vs coconut sugar?

Well, you already know that sugar is terrible for your health, and can be one of the causes of diabetes, obesity, and even feeds cancer cells.  And you also probably already know how terrible artificial sweeteners are for your overall health, gut health (they can decimate your gut flora), and other risks.

Many people turn to stevia as a natural sweetener alternative that is healthier than sugar or artificial sweeteners.  Unfortunately, a lot of people don't like the taste of pure stevia and usually need it blended with something else.

Leeks - Did you know?

With their unique combination of flavonoids and sulfur-containing nutrients, the allium vegetables belong in your diet on a regular basis. There's research evidence for including at least one serving of an allium vegetable in your meal plan every day. If you're choosing leeks, make your individual portion 1/2 cup or greater, and try to include at least one cup of chopped leeks in your recipes.

July sees the start of a summer of festivals across the UK and Europe. Ensure you are back pain free for the festivals season this summer. Appealing to young and old, they focus on food and other activities as well as music; something for everyone. If a festival is on your agenda for this summer, it is important to take care of your back so you can maximise the fun. Many festival-goers just go for the day and some will choose to camp overnight but all will be sitting or sleeping on hard surfaces, carrying bags/rucksacks and standing for hours on end.  Tim Hutchful, British Chiropractic Association (BCA) chiropractor, concludes that, although we all want to have fun, it is also important to remain level-headed and switched on to potential risks: “We all love the chance to let our hair down, but this shouldn’t be at the expense of our health.
