Why are we avoiding Glyphosate?
Posted Wednesday 18th April 2018 at 3:14pm
As a consumer of organic products, chances are you’ve heard of glyphosate, the primary active ingredient in the world’s most popular herbicide ‘Roundup’. Monsanto synthesised the original molecule, but the patent has now expired which means that glyphosate can now be found in numerous varieties of herbicide used all over the world. Glyphosate has been used for 40 years for effective weed management in both agriculture and lawn maintenance, but it does in fact kill most plants. It works by inhibiting an enzyme (cytochrome P450) that is essential to plant growth. This enzyme is not…

You Are What You Digest: How Probiotics and Prebiotics Help with Overall Health
Posted Tuesday 15th August 2017 at 2:39pm
You are what you digest, and eating plenty of probiotic- and prebiotic-rich foods is one of the best ways to support digestion and the assimilation of nutrients. Probiotics are living microorganisms commonly referred to as “good” bacteria. They help keep your digestive system healthy by controlling growth of harmful bacteria. Prebiotics, on the other hand, are non-digestible fibres that stimulate growth of probiotics, acting as food for the good bacteria and enabling probiotics to survive in the bowel. Healthy Gut, Healthy Mind and Body Probiotics and prebiotics are essential in…
6 Beauty and Personal Care Products You Should Replace with Healthier Alternatives
Posted Wednesday 26th July 2017 at 10:29am
If you like making healthier choices about what food you eat but haven’t yet replaced your chemical-laden personal care and beauty products, it’s time to find healthier alternatives. Your skin is your body’s largest organ and absorbs the creams, powders, sprays and lotions we put on it. Around 10,500 industrial chemicals are used as cosmetic ingredients, many of which are carcinogens, pesticides, reproductive toxins, endocrine disruptors, plasticisers (chemicals that keep concrete soft), degreasers (used to get grime off auto parts) and surfactants (they reduce surface tension in…
Soak It In: How to Prepare Grains, Beans, Legumes, Nuts and Seeds
Posted Tuesday 4th July 2017 at 9:52am
Our modern culture is fixated on speed and convenience: fast-food, microwave meals, quick oats, 2 minute noodles, instant coffee and powdered soup in a box. In our desperate search for more time in the day, we’ve lost touch with traditional food preparation methods that can dramatically improve our health. Traditional societies around the world knew that certain foods required preparation before consumption. These include grains, beans, legumes, nuts and seeds- foods that contain anti-nutrients and are difficult to digest unless properly prepared. Grains can be stored for long periods…
Why You Should Start Preserving Food
Posted Wednesday 7th June 2017 at 9:02pm
Food preservation may seem like a thing of the past, a method used ‘back in the day’ when fresh produce was scarce in the cooler months, but it certainly has its place in the modern world and we use several methods every day without even thinking about it. While our ancestors dried food for long journeys or fermented food for better nutritional value, food preservation can be used today to not only keep food for longer but also to reduce waste, save money, and enjoy local and seasonal produce year round. Native American Indians would dry buffalo meat to preserve it and to make it…
Diatomaceous Earth - The next big thing in health and well being?
Posted Friday 28th April 2017 at 2:30pm
You may have never heard of Diatomaceous Earth before, even though it’s been a part of the earth’s ecology for millions of years, but based on its remarkable health benefits we think it’s time the word got out. Like kale and goji berries before it, Diatomaceous Earth, or DE, may very well be the next big thing in the wellness industry. Diatomaceous earth is an all-natural product made from tiny fossilised water plants or algae called diatoms. You’ve probably used DE before and not even realised it. It’s commonly found in pet nutrition products, sprays and products used to…
Health Benefits of Manuka Honey
Posted Monday 27th February 2017 at 10:39am
Not all honeys are created equal, and telling the difference can sometimes be tricky. The standard honeys available at conventional supermarkets aren’t always as beneficial for our health as we’d like them to be. They are often highly processed and lacking in important nutrients. Manuka honey, however, has been shown to have up to 4 times the nutritional content of normal flower honeys, and it is also highly antibacterial. Honey has been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes including topical treatment for wounds and other skin infections, but recent studies have exposed…
Health Benefits of Turmeric
Posted Friday 3rd February 2017 at 10:51am
Turmeric is the spice that gives curry its yellow colour, and it has been used in India and the Middle East for thousands of years. Turmeric was traditionally used in Siddha and Ayurvedic medicine to treat inflammatory conditions, skin diseases, wounds, digestive ailments and liver conditions. It’s only recently, however, that science has started to shed more light on turmeric’s true medicinal potential. The focus of many studies has been on curcumin, which is the main active compound in turmeric. Turmeric has so many healing properties that there have been over 6000 peer-reviewed…

Overfed and Undernourished
Posted Wednesday 30th November 2016 at 3:14pm
Hungry all the time? Many of us are malnourished and we don’t even know it. Interestingly, people struggling with their weight are the most likely to be deficient in essential vitamins and minerals. How can this be when we have easy access to food and eat regularly, maybe even too much and too often? A mistake is to assume that “a calorie is a calorie”, and that if you consume enough calories throughout the day that your body is receiving all the nutrients it needs. The standard Australian diet is energy dense but nutrient poor (not enough vitamins and minerals), so we end up eating…
Do You Really Need to Quit Sugar?
Posted Monday 31st October 2016 at 10:29am
Sugar has received a bad rap recently, perpetuated by popular programs such as Sarah Wilson’s “I Quit Sugar”, and documentaries such as That Sugar Film. Nutritionists, doctors and the media are all talking about it, so what’s the deal? Is sugar just the latest victim of finger-pointing health nuts, or is it something we should seriously consider cutting from our diets? The Not-So-Sweet Truth The World Health Organisation recommends our sugar consumption should only make up five per cent of our total daily calorie intake, which equates to about 25g or six teaspoons per day. The…
Know Your Fats: Myths Debunked
Posted Thursday 29th September 2016 at 9:15pm
For years fat has been vilified and we’ve seen a huge shift to “low-fat” food products on our supermarket shelves. We’ve been urged to banish it from our diets, told it’s unhealthy, and told it’s responsible for making us fat and sick. It makes sense- eating fat makes you fat, right? Not necessarily, and we’re now seeing a shift back to embracing healthy fats as part of a balanced diet. The problem is many of us have been on the low-fat bandwagon for so long, it’s difficult to welcome fat back onto our plates. What’s “healthy” fat? What fats should I avoid? What oils…
Coffee: Is it Good or Bad for You?
Posted Tuesday 30th August 2016 at 11:48am
The jury seems out on whether coffee is healthy or harmful. We’ve seen conflicting information over the years about whether that morning latte is worth it. One minute coffee is able to help prevent some diseases, and the next it’s receiving a roasting (pun intended). With all this in mind, is there a “right” amount of coffee we should be drinking, or should we be avoiding it altogether? We have the answer, but first let’s look at some of the pros and cons of Australia’s favourite bean. Benefits:- Cardiovascular system – despite potentially increasing blood pressure, coffee…
Why Choose Organic Meat?
Posted Monday 1st August 2016 at 2:03pm
There’s more to eating organic meat than simply making a healthier choice for your body, although this in itself is an excellent reason! Choosing organic meat over conventionally raised meat is a better choice for the animals, the farmers, and the environment. Here are our top reasons why choosing organic meat is the better option: No Hormones or Antibiotics Animals raised organically are not allowed to be fed antibiotics, the bovine growth hormone (rBGH), or other artificial drugs. Animals are also not allowed to eat genetically modified foods. Limitation of antibiotics could result in…
Naturally Support Your Immune System
Posted Monday 20th June 2016 at 10:28am
It’s that time of year when staying on top of colds and flus can be challenging. Here are some easy steps you can take to naturally support your immune system. Protective SupplementsEchinacea, Vitamin C and Zinc are helpful in protecting against colds and flus. Increasing your Vitamin C dosage is one of the easiest ways to boost immune function. Your body also needs zinc for immune support, and you can find this in quality organic grass-fed beef, chicken and lamb. Garlic and OnionGet plenty of garlic and onion onto your plate. Garlic is rich in antioxidants and selenium, and is also…
Food Sensitivities and the Elimination Diet
Posted Monday 13th June 2016 at 2:29pm
The foods we eat will either feed digestive problems or feed a healthy gut, says Dr. William Cole, a functional medicine practitioner. Millions of people eating a standard Western diet suffer terribly from stomach pain, bloating, indigestion, acid reflux, GERD, constipation, diarrhoea and IBS. An elimination diet can assist in identifying which foods are causing digestive issues by removing the most common inflammatory “trigger” foods for a period of time, then reintroducing them one by one to monitor the body’s response. As well as healing the gut, elimination diets can also help…
What is Organic?
Organic farming uses the earth's natural resources for sustainability. It emphasises appropriate land management and aims to ecologically achieve the balance between animal life, the natural environment and food crops. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, herbicides, genetically modified foods, growth promoters or hormones.
Allergies?
Recent reports and studies have shown an increase in food-related allergies, with many people now experiencing allergic reactions to peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, milk, eggs, soy, fish and shellfish. Food allergies involve our body's immune system, and because 70% of our immune system is found in the digestive tract, the foods that we eat and the chemicals they contain can have a significant impact on our health. When the digestive tract and immune system aren't functioning well we become vulnerable to a host of disorders, including allergies.
