I met so many fascinating people at the Vegan Expo in Sydney over the weekend who live a vegan lifestyle and embrace the benefits of it – from effortless weight loss, reversal of diseases, increased environmental responsibility and spiritual awareness (just to name a few) – it was truly eye opening for me to meet such enthusiasts and it left an impression on me.

Your memory, attention span, and ability to learn will benefit from the healthful foods you’ll be choosing!!

Only today 8 months down my treatment path have I discovered just how potent Amygdalin (B17 , nitriloside) can be in the excess.

With Easter approaching I have been eying off the hot cross buns lined up in bakery windows and supermarkets everywhere. I must admit, I do love a warm hot cross bun, but I don’t like what I read on the ingredients list of some packets. Here’s the perfect allergy free, wheat free, dairy free and butter free hot cross buns recipe.

The human body is a machine that is constantly burning calories from the foods we eat to provide us with energy for movement and to keep it’s systems running smoothly. When burning more calories than are being taken in, the body turns to fat stores as a source of fuel, resulting in weight-loss. Aside from slogging it out at the gym, what can we do to increase the number of calories we burn?

Autumn is an especially important time for us to nurture and support our bodies from the transition of seasons from Summer to Winter. The right food choices can help us to do that.

It’s hard to stay on track towards the things that you really want. And I don’t mean stuff that you kind of want, I mean the things that really matter. Life goals, aspirations and dreams.
