Health Benefits Of Vitamins And Minerals

Vitamins are essential micronutrients required by our body in small quantities to function properly.  Vitamins are essential to help maintain our overall health and well-being. Vitamins are organic compounds that cannot be made by our body and must be obtained either via food and drinks consumption or supplements or both.   Vitamin A  is important for maintaining healthy vision, skin and also supporting our immune system. It plays a crucial role in vision by maintaining a clear cornea, which is the outside covering of your eye. In developing countries, deficiency in this Vitamin is rare. This deficiency can lead to Xerophthalmia which is a progressive disease that starts with night blindness.   Watch our short video to learn more. https://youtu.be/XncWavpUhNY   Minerals are inorganic compounds  that are essential for the proper functioning of...

Gut Health and Iridology

The gut refers to your gastrointestinal (GI) system. The health of your gut is generally determined by the levels and types of bacteria in your digestive, intestinal tract. The GI tract is a key pary of your digestive system. The GI tract is a long tube that starts at your mouth and runs to your anus, where stool leaves your body.   Your gut aids in the digestion of the foods you eat, absorbs nutrients and uses it to fuel and maintain your body. When your gut is imbalanced and your immune system is not functioning at optimum levels, your hormones and serotonin will not either, making it easier for you to become ill.   Good gut health is when you have a balance between the good or helpful...

Why Should We Take Supplements?

Many people believe that they can get all of the nutrients our body requires to function adequately, from food alone, especially if they eat organic, prepare their own meals or eat at top restaurants. This is far from the truth as explained below:   Soil Degradation.  The quality of the soil that conventional produce is grown in is declining and if the nutrient is not in the soil, than it will not be in the food. As the soil becomes increasingly nutrient-deficient, so does our food. In conventional farming practices, typically, only three nutrients are fertilised back into the soil. There are nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. This means that 52 other nutrients are missing from the foods we eat. We cannot deprive our bodies from its biological...

How Can Iridology Help You Sleep Better

Have you heard of the expression "Sleep Like A Baby?" How is the quality of your sleep? Are you sleeping in excess of 8 hours daily and still struggling to wake up or wake up exhausted? Our body repairs itself whilst we are asleep which is why it is important to improve the quality of your sleep to minimise longer term term decline in our overall health.   Poor quality of sleep or lack of quality sleep can take a serious toll on our daytime energy, productivity, emotional balance and even your weight.  Sleep is vital and not having sufficient quality sleep can completely undermine your health, even if you are eating well and exercising regularly. We also age more quickly if we do not have sufficient...

Benefits of Probiotics

Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed. Probiotics generally improve and restore gut flora. Gut flora or gut microbiota are the microorganisms, including bacteria that live in the digestive tracts of the vertebrates, including humans and insects. Probiotics are live microorganisms that can be consumed through fermented foods or supplements. More and more studies show and prove that the balance or imbalance of bacteria in your digestive system is linked to our overall health and disease.   Probiotics promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria and have been linked to a wide range of health benefits. Some years ago, we helped someone who was suffering from diarrhoea caused by food poisoning. The hospital gave this person chemical medication that did not work and just...

How To Improve Gut Health

Have you heard of the saying "Heal Your Gut, Heal Your Body"?     Gut health is very important to our overall health as our gut is like the engine of our body and by filling it with the incorrect foods and drinks, medication and chemicals, it will certainly affect our longer term health.         Did you know there are about 6 trillion bacteria in the gut? If your gut is healthy, that part of your body is like your second brain and that's where the immune system exists. That's why you feel unwell if your gut is unhealthy. If you take what is called antibiotics, which means anti life, you are destroying your own immune system and it is important to let your own immune system fight its problems....
