YOUR health & wellbeing

OMG this was a delicious change from avocado & poached egg, sprouted oats ( easier on digestion) with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds & sweetened with elderberry Syrup !

Pumpkin seeds - contain iron, protein, fibre, potassium, zinc, copper, selenium, vitamin C, B, A E essential Amino Acids

Chia seeds - high in protein - can stimulate bowel function

Elderberry syrup, - used frequently during cold & flu season, loaded with vitamin C !

Topped with nuts !! A nutritious & healthy start to any day !

Reading through all my notes for a cancer client so that I can research their chemo etc & came across these notes, one of the reasons I ask my clients to eat organic where possible

Enzyme CYP 1B1 - found in cancer cells. Plants contain Salvesterols that convert into enzymes that can kill cancer cells.

Salvesterol rich foods - fruits, veg, herbs, but they need to be organic as sprayed foods do not contain Salvesterols

A busy week with clients, but came across this passage ! Sometimes when trying to fix our health issues, we forget that our bodies are about 70% water and should be frontline treatment for many physical disorders

“ drinking enough water could eliminate many bowel and bladder problems, and even the common headache. Toxins build up in the system which can cause headaches if not enough water is consumed to flush them out. Flushing the system can relieve symptoms more quickly than herbs & drugs. QUALITY water maintains, rejuvenates, heals and rehabilitates the body”

Up to 40% of western adults are believed to have below normal levels of B12. Signs and symptoms of deficiency include weakness, loss of appetite, constipation, numbness or tingling in the arms, difficulty maintaining balance, and shortness of breath. Effects on the brain can manifest as brain fog, memory loss, depression, anxiety, confusion, etc (if you are interested in a B12 shot, please contact CE Health)

First attempt at seafood paella last night, it was actually quite tasty. Made in about 40-50 minutes, though that includes preparation time !

I used whole grain rice, as whole grain rice doesn’t break down as quickly as white rice & cause blood sugar spikes, brown rice is also loaded with nutrients

Fibre, vitamin B, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper & zinc !

Have been away for a few weeks so haven’t posted in a wee while, hope you are all keeping well and enjoying your weekend !!

This is fast becoming one of my favourite breakfast dishes

Sourdough, fermented bread - the gluten is broken down during the fermentation process so is easier for the body to break down

Mashed avocado - your s*x hormones such as oestrogen & testosterone are made from healthy fats

Tomatoes, poached egg & spring onions, topped with a little table salt as it contains iodine to support my thyroid !

MENOPAUSE MONTH AT CE HEALTH.

A Healthy Liver can reduce Menopause symptoms.

A healthy liver can have a missive effect on how you fare during the menopause. The liver is a major detox organ, which preforms over 500 different functions, many of which can influence your menopause symptoms.

- Maintaining blood sugar, fluctuating blood sugar levels can trigger hot flushes, palpitations and dizziness.
- Storing energy, low energy can cause fatigue, a common menopause symptom.
- Filtering toxins from the blood, if toxins build up in the blood they can lead to joint & muscle pain, brain fog and skin rashes, spots etc.
- Hormone synthetisation, Hormone Fluctuation can trigger menopause symptoms.

To help take care of your liver we recommend limiting your intake of sugar, processed foods and white bread. Try taking a Milk Thistle supplement for a month to support liver function.

MENOPAUSE MONTH AT CE HEALTH.

Reduce symptoms with a healthy gut.

Friendly bacteria in our gut can help by producing phytoestrogens which enter the bloodstream and act like our own oestrogen, thereby helping to balance our diminishing oestrogen levels.
Smoking, Stress, Caffeine, Sugar and Processed Foods all have a negative effect on our friendly bacteria. It’s therefore important to support them with a healthy diet rich in fruit, veg, legumes, nuts, seeds etc.
We also recommend taking MOLKOSAN which is rich in L+ lactic acid a substance known to support the growth of good friendly gut bacteria.

MENOPAUSE MONTH AT CE HEALTH.

Getting Menopause ready.

Diet, Exercise and Lifestyle can all play a big part in reducing the unwanted side effects of the Menopause, generally speaking the fitter and healthier you are the better your chances of having an easy, symptom free menopause experience.

Exercise - as Oestrogen levels decline so our metabolism starts to slowdown making it easier to put on weight and more difficult to lose it. Muscle tone may also start to noticeably diminish. Regular exercise is therefore vital to minimize these undesirable affects.

Diet – Our food choices an also have a positive or negative affect on oestrogen levels. Try to avoid processed foods and get your five-a-day and keep hydrated.
Relax – Rest and Relaxation have been shown to reduce menopause symptoms

Just reading some information by the Vitamin C Troll, he watched as farmers spent all day in the sun with no sun cream, the farmers explained that they used 15 grams of vitamin C & Dry vitamin E every 2 hours, if they still burnt a bit this helped their skin heal without sores or blisters. Interesting reading, I might try this protocol along with my organic suncream just for added protection in the sun !

Reading an excellent book on cancer & nutrition ! Came across this passage

“ looking at your life, what is it that always takes away your energy? Identify everything in your life that keeps you from being your true self and start working on the development of you, this is the first & most important step to achieving optimum health and well being ! Remember, happiness & hope are the most powerful healers”

When my son was ill we found out through some tests I had done that he did not break oestrogen down well, this may well have been a genetic thing, so I decided to up my own uptake of Indole 3 Carbinol (I3C)

I3C is a photochemical found in broccoli, cabbage, kale etc ! It is converted to DIM in the body & used to maintain healthy hormone balance.

Human reproductive cancers may be affected by oestrogen levels & I3C May decrease these levels, in a clinical study published in “ Nutrition & Cancer” in 2004 women with a history of Breast cancer who took DIM for 30 days had positive changes in oestrogen metabolism compared with a placebo group

Always consult your doctor as high levels can affect the break down of some medications

ACID REFLUX

At an excellent lecture on Methylation & Detoxing !

Alcohol causes loss of Zinc, B vitamins and Magnesium

“ Of all the Anti oxidants vitamin C is the most extra ordinary. Vitamin C is believed to help prevent cancer, by enhancing the immune system, stimulating the formation of collagen which is necessary for “ Walling off” tumours, preventing metastasis ( spreading) by inhibiting a particular enzyme and therefore keeping the ground substance intact, preventing viruses that cause cancer “

GET YOUR OATS / DIABETES

Oats, specifically oat bran contain a powerful anti diabetes nutrient called Beta - Glucans, diabetic patients given oatmeal or oat bran rich foods experience much lower rises in blood sugar. In fact 10% of your diet as beta glucans can halve the blood sugar peak of a meal.

Practically that means eating half oatflakes and half oat bran cold or hot as porridge, with a low GI fruit such as berries, pears, or apples & snacking on rough oatcakes, which have the most beta glucans.

(Some notes from my Patrick Holford nutrition lecture )
