“I am not a health nut.” A Personal Transformation Story by Alissa Geurink

I Am Not a Health Nut

- by Alissa Geurink, Director of Women’s Wellness University

I am not a health nut. I do not preach to others how they should eat, act, or speak. Everyone makes choices based on their unique situation. No one knows what each person’s unique situation is except that individual.  But when something so amazing happens to me – I tend to tell everyone. Even if it is so personal that it falls into the TMI arena.

In December I had my blood pressure checked. I was actually surprised at how high it was. It was 130/90.

I started playing the blame game – Was I stressed out that day, what did I eat, what did I do or did not do? Looking back it was always something I could point my finger at and say… if only I did this differently, or if I did this I would change that.

Who’s Your Daddy?! One Pa’s Green Smoothie Success Story

Who’s Your Daddy?!  One Pa’s Green Smoothie Success Story

- by Caroline Cain

Back in April of 2011, my father had started asking me for nutrition advice as he had developed a dust mite allergy where his entire face would swell up so much that he could hardly breathe. When this happened at night he would either have to sleep sitting up until he could go to the doctor’s the next morning, or he would have to go to hospital and be given steroids to bring the swelling down so that he could breathe.

Now, my father is not in for major dietary changes, didn’t want to cut out all the so-called “good things in life”, and definitely ain’t no cook! He likes gadgets. Gadgets and no cooking. So, this was a no-brainer for me!

- by Rachelle Fordyce

Okay okay… so I missed the boat for yesterday’s weekly Frisky Friday Freebie post. But that’s okay… because today we have a Sassy Saturday Free-Stuff SMOOTHIE Giveaway!!

You CAN avoid the mashed potato pudge this holiday season…. and in fact even REVERSE the trend!

Medical Journals say it’s not the fact people gain 5-7 pounds over the holidays that is a problem. It’s that they never take them off again once the new year comes!

Click here to read an article about a study on weight gain during the winter holiday season — the results show that the weight gained during the holidays has a tendency to stay on!  … Seeing that a little can really add up as the years pass, why not practice a little prevention this time around?

Green Smoothies Served Up With Style At Samudra

Green Smoothies Served Up With Style:
Getting to Know Michael, Samudra & The Kombi Live Food Café

- Q & A with Michael Parkes of Samudra

After a big trip around the world, Michael Parkes found himself landing in Yallingup in the South West of Western Australia. Needing to find work, he came across Samudra and liked what they had going on.

Michael was working in the Café when he first tasted a green smoothie and — as he puts it — “the wonderful flavour on offer for something that was so good for me.” Curiosity sparked, Michael picked up a couple of books to understand more of the story behind “going green”.

An introduction to green smoothies was a stepping stone on Michael’s path to truly listen to his body; he is now nearly 100% vegetarian with plenty of raw food in the mix.
