Natural Healthiness

Looks like I've entered a gurning competition, but actually I was doing a talk on the Gut Biome to the Women's Institute in Petersfield last Tuesday. "A fun and enlightening evening!" Thanks to all who attended :-)

What a great speaker last night on Good Gut Health and how much our environment affects us. It was lovely to see everyone, have a chat and eat some amazing cake!

First harvest of the year - broad beans :-) I planted these little beans in November last year and now they stand 1.5m high - the miracle of life and delicious with my Sunday roast 😋

Here is a snippet from my Gut Biome Masterclass with training and education provider Skill Up Online. Enjoy 😁

On a Tuesday I volunteer at Farnham Community Farm. An organic farm where we grow chemical free veges for the local community. Here's me with the Broad Fork aerating the soil 😁

I have to admit this one did bring a tear to my eye ... Monika was so poorly when she came to me. I blubbed as I read it out to my husband over dinner 🥲 this is what Monika Hewson said:

"Andrea's 28 Days To Optimal Health Programme has pulled me back from brink. To paint a picture of how poorly I was before the programme I will admit that I only chose to contact Andrea as her name was first on the page I was scrolling at Natural Health Worldwide. I knew I needed some advice on ketogenic diets and at the time I had no energy to search any further.
Little did I know this programme is more than just a diet. It was in fact a very strategic guidance in changing layers of my lifestyle - food, sleep, breathing etc. in a pace that suited me and very personalised with demands I could cope with.
Prior to contacting Andrea I fell into a swamp of Internet podcasts, blogs, websites from quantum biology to carnivore diet - Andrea has brought me back up where I had to think of some basics first. It has been a journey from chaos to order, with some room now for creativity.
Here I am now 28 days later and I am not only being able to focus and write these words, but I feel energised, I can function socially and get back to my job. And most of all, I have the confidence to use a broad range of tools to continue in my recovery.
Thank you, Andrea."

Really looking forward to this webinar with Matt Giblin from Hussle. If you want to listen in, you can register here https://zoom.us/webinar/register/6117121466304/WN_eQzMBzknTb6cVKXtFuae-A #/registration

I also managed to harvest some tenderstem broccoli that I moved into the greenhouse to protect over the winter. Quite a bit now sprouting. Can't believe it, never grown broccoli before :))

The last few weekends I have ventured into my greenhouse to start sprouting seeds. Tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, pepper, chilli, butternut, brussels, cabbage, broccoli, peas and radish are not in pots. Yay - roll on summer!

Nice to have something to smile about on a Monday morning :-))) Thanks Juliet Lawrence for your words, I am delighted for you "In just 28 days it's absolutely incredible what I've learnt about 'health' and how much one can help one's body to function optimally, without changing very much. I thought I was a pretty healthy person with a good diet, until I started this education. Through Andrea's 28-day program (largely about cutting out sugar and carbs from the diet, ie adopting a Paleo-Keto lifestyle, providing enormous benefits to the body's immune system and helping it to function as it should), I have experienced a 62% improvement in my health. I hadn't realised that various symptoms had disappeared until Andrea pointed out what I'd complained of in my pre-program questionnaire. The change has been subtle yet very easy to adapt to; the outcome has left me feeling full of energy, having trimmed up and lost excess pounds; I have pain-free joints and glowing skin. I am without any doubt a PK convert. Thank you Andrea."

Some more lovely comments from my current client Sue Smith:
"Hi Andrea, just a big thank you for all the videos this week. I have had a big catch up today. Just had a busy week and wanted to allow myself time to absorb them properly. I have found all your videos throughout my course extremely interesting and thought provoking. You have taken a lot of time to prepare the information and it has been much appreciated. You have such a lot of knowledge about nutrition."

A heart-warming testimonial from another determined and tenacious client:
“I wanted to thank you for all the lovely videos, they were very informative. I’ve even made myself a little jar of coconut oil & iodine to keep the viruses away! I managed to stick to the guidelines you suggested and have lost all my hunger and cravings. Wow, I’m totally amazed at how that feels! I am so grateful to be free of my sugar addiction - thanks again for all your support." Emma

The Benefits of Bitters

Bitter herbs, spices and foods offer valuable benefits and can go a long way toward improving your overall health by improving digestion, gastrointestinal health and absorption of nutrients.

Much in the same way bitter compounds help protect the plant from harmful influences, they can be helpful in your body by inhibiting microbe growth, oxidation and inflammation.

Commercially available bitter tinctures include Swedish Bitters, but another easy way of getting more bitters into your diet is simply to add more bitter greens to your salads. Eating these as a ‘starter’ before you eat your meal will improve the digestion of the foods that follow.

My morning mug of green tea is a daily staple for me. I used to hate the stuff; much preferred my PG Tips with cows milk. But when I decided to come off pasteurised milk, I needed another option (as PG with Oat Milk just didn’t cut the mustard) and Green Tea it became. It took me many months to get used to it but now I wouldn’t be without it. It’s so refreshing and gives a kick-start to my day.

And now I know why it makes me feel so good. Green tea contains a wealth of beneficial polyphenols, including EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which has an amazing ability to relax your arteries and improve blood flow – something super useful as a sufferer of Reynaud’s Disease!

I read some research recently which stated drinking about 0.5 to 2.5 cups of green tea daily for at least one year reduced the risk of developing high blood pressure by 46%, while those consuming more than 2.5 cups reduced their risk by 65%. Wow! Powerful stuff. So start drinking your daily dose of EGCG today 😊

If your happiness could use a boost, commit to cultivating an attitude of gratitude. It not only boosts life satisfaction, it’s also the single best predictor of good relationships, and benefits both sanity and physical health.

Gratitude involves affirming the good in your life and recognizing its sources. It is the understanding that life owes you nothing, and that the good things in your life are gifts that cannot be taken for granted.

When you start seeing everything as a gift, opposed to things you’ve deserved (for better or worse), your sense of gratitude will begin to swell. Another way to practice gratitude when life leaves you uninspired is to identify and express gratitude for seemingly “useless” or insignificant things.

A simple exercise: Each day take a photo of something that you are grateful for and file it in your ‘grateful album’.

Why You Should Take Your Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is useful for a number of health-related conditions, such as reducing blood sugar levels, balancing your pH, increasing your good gut bacteria and reducing symptoms of acid reflux. Uses are various and unexpected!

It’s antibacterial effects help cure athlete’s foot and heal wounds, the acetic acid helps tone your skin and treat dandruff and the same compounds make it useful for cleaning around the house. A great all-rounder!

I use it to keep the whites together when I am making poached eggs 😊 For more information on how to improve your health naturally visit https://naturalhealthiness.co.uk/nutrition/master-class/

Tea With or Without Plastic?

In an analysis of tea bags, researchers found that those sealed in plastic release billions of plastic particles with every cup that’s brewed.

Tea is an ancient beverage, recognized for the positive impact it has on health and the important role it plays in cultures around the world. There are significant health benefits to drinking tea, so it would be wise to continue the habit, while substituting tea bags for loose leaf tea. Or buy tea in bags from a reputable company that doesn’t use plastic or bleach in their manufacturing.

I grew mint this year and drank it freshly picked every. It tasted so sweet and delicious. Before winter arrived I picked a load and dried it for my tea over the winter.

Naturally healthy and back to source – best way to be 😊

Today I planted 20 garlic cloves. I just used the cloves from some organic garlic bulbs and pushed them 1 inch into the soil about 6 inches apart. In the early Spring next year they will start germinating and will be ready to harvest in the Summer.

I love garlic, especially when gently fried in butter 😋 There are many health benefits to this little bulb and it is a perfect addition to a cyclical paleo-keto lifestyle. Happy sowing!
