<br />
Coming into the summer months it is always a bit daunting as we get those white legs out for the first time. For years we have been warned about the dangers of sun exposure and tanning, then came the solarium craze which has (thankfully) received wide spread criticism on its potentially harmful effects on our health. So then we were left with embracing our pasty whiteness or rubbing chemical ridden fake tan creams all over our bodies before heading out in our bikinis.<br />
<br />
Well now thanks to some wonderful health concerned individuals there is another option, a safe and chemical free option with the availability of all natural fake tan creams now on the market.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<em>So what's in your bottle of tan lotion?</em></h4>
<br />
The active ingredient in fake tan products is dihydroxyacetone (DHA) which reacts with the amino acids on the skin to turn it brown. This chemical was approved as safe for external use by the FDA back in 1977. At this point it was assumed that the chemical did not absorb through the skin and into the blood stream, nor was it taken into consideration that we inhale the chemicals from tanning creams and sprays directly into our lungs and mucous membranes. It is now known that 11% of applied DHA reaches the dermis of the skin, giving it direct access into our blood stream. <br />
<br />
The use of DHA in 'tanning' booths as an all-over spray has not been approved by the FDA, since safety data to support this use has not been submitted to the agency for review and evaluation.<sup> </sup>Aside from topical contact dermatitis, the chemical DHA is potentially hazardous when inhaled, causing damage to cells and possibly leading to cancer. Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine (Dr. Rey Panettieri) has commented, "The reason I'm concerned is the deposition of the tanning agents into the lungs could really facilitate or aid systemic absorption" -- that is, getting into the bloodstream. These compounds in some cells could actually promote the development of cancers or malignancies, and if that's the case then we need to be wary of them<br />
<br />
<strong>DHA</strong><br />
<br />
So this DHA chemical sounds as though we should be quite wary but if we only use it occasionally we should be ok yes?? Well actually no... If we take a look through our bathroom cabinet at all the lotions, soaps and makeups which we apply to our skin one has to wonder what the accumulative effects of all these chemicals are.<br />
<br />
Many beauty creams and cosmetics are formulated with a mixture of controversial synthetic ingredients that have been linked to health problems including breast cancer, hormone disruption, fertility issues, asthma, allergies, diabetes and birth defects. And it’s this so-called ‘chemical cocktail’ that has some experts worried.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: red;"><em>At Evelyn Faye Nutrition we have 2 natural fake tan alternatives which use 100% natural ingredients Santorini and EcoTan, the latter of which is certified organic. These products are DHA free and also free of other harmful chemicals.</em></span></strong></div>

<h4>
<em>Other ways to reduce your levels of chemical exposure</em></h4>
* Use fewer products to reduce your overall exposure – do you really need separate hand lotion, body lotion, and several face creams?<br />
*Check the label and watch out for synthetic chemicals such as parabens, formaldehyde and triclosan. Some products now state – ‘free from parabens, petrochemicals and artificial perfumes’<br />
* If there is a big long list of unpronounceable chemical names then it might be worth looking for something with fewer ingredients that you recognise.<br />
*Pay particular attention to the products that stay on your skin the longest, such as creams and lotions.<br />
*Swap dark hair dye for vegetable-based colours or those stating they’re PPD-free.<br />
*Choose one of the aluminium-free deodorants sold at Evelyn Faye Nutrition<br />
*Drink out of glass or BPA free water bottles & drink filtered water<br />

<br />
Oral health is often reserved for that annual trip to the dentist, but with all we are relying on our chomps to do it's worth investing some quality nutrition into the longevity of our mouths. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.fourbody.com.au/images/P/t_1453269337.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Microgenics Mega C High Potency" border="0" height="200" id="product_thumbnail" src="http://www.fourbody.com.au/images/P/t_1453269337.png" title="Microgenics Mega C High Potency" width="100" /></a>If you suffer from raw red sore or bleeding gums (gingivitis) there are some key nutritionals you may be lacking.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
-<strong>Vitamin C</strong> <br />
<br />
We need just 160mg a day to keep our gums happy and healthy yet some of us just still aren't making the cut. There was once a time when sailors and those subjected to lengthy sea voyages without fresh perishable produce would develop vitamin C deficiency presenting with bleeding inflamed gums. As vitamin C is required for the synthesis of collagen and healthy connective tissues you can see how lack there of has an effect on our gum health as well as many other underlying tissues. <br />

<br />
CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant known for it's positive effects on our heart. This powerful antioxidant is also very important for oral health providing energy to the gum cells while promoting wound healing and tissue recovery support. All individuals on a statin drugs should be supplementing with this nutrient!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>-Zinc, Vitamin A, E and Selenium</strong><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.pharmacydirect.com.au/ShowImage.aspx?image=ProductImages/19623.jpg&width=400&height=400" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" id="productImage" src="http://www.pharmacydirect.com.au/ShowImage.aspx?image=ProductImages/19623.jpg&width=400&height=400" title="Ethical Nutrients Zinc Fix Powder Orange Flavour 95g" width="122" /></a>Vitamin A is another nutrient of great importance in collagen synthesis and wound healing while the super synergistic team of Selenium and vitamin E work together as antioxidants and wound healers. <br />
<br />
If you are a sufferer of those painful mouth ulcers and seem to have a new one pop up just as you kicked the last one you may be lacking some Zinc. This essential mineral is one 76% of us on average are lacking. <br />

<em>It is that time of the year again where summer is fast approaching and the desire for a flat, un-bloated stomach and glowing skin kicks in as we prepare to go bikini shopping (GASP!!)</em></h4>
<br />
So springtime is therefore the perfect time for a body cleanse.<br />
<br />
The Naturopaths at Evelyn Faye in South Melbourne have put together a 14 day detox program which stimulates the liver, kidneys and bowel, our 3 major elimination organs. You may be interested in doing a detox if you can relate to some of the following:<br />
<ul>
<li>Are you often tired and lethargic?</li>
<li>Do you suffer from bloating, constipation or other digestive discomforts?</li>
<li>Do you feel foggy headed, have trouble concentrating or forget things easily?</li>
<li>Do you have allergies or suspected food sensitivities?</li>
<li>Do you get recurrent headaches?</li>
<li>Do you suffer from depression, anxiety or irritability?</li>
<li>Do you love to indulge in rich foods, alcohol and the finer things in life?</li>
</ul>
In our modern world we are exposed to toxins day in and day out; they are in our food, water supply, air, skin care, cleaning products, work place etc etc the list goes on. Our body has inbuilt mechanisms for dealing with these toxins however they can build up to a point where these processes become overwhelmed and no longer work efficiently. This is where living a clean lifestyle, eating clean foods and taking supplements to support our elimination organs for a couple of weeks can assist in re-booting our bodies to be healthy and vital.<br />
<br />
<h4>
The Evelyn Faye detox consists of:</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>A herbal mix taken 3 x daily</strong>. This contains Milk Thistle<em> (famous for its liver stimulating and restorative properties)</em> Pau D'Arco<em> (anti microbial & anti fungal)</em> Cleavers <em>(A kidney tonic and diuretic)</em> and Cascara <em>(a gentle bowel stimulant)</em></li>
<li><strong>Pretorius Probiotic</strong>, 2 capsules taken before bed to help re-inoculate the bowel with healthy gut flora.</li>
<li><strong>Kapai Puku</strong>, a wonderful mix of raw seeds taken 1 x daily mixed into yoghurt or soaked in juice. This provides you with fibre which will bind to toxins in the bowel and encourage elimination.</li>
</ul>
Additionally you will get an information booklet outlining measures you can take to detoxify your environment as well as a food shopping list and a recommended meal plan.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">All of this for $69.95!!</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"></span> </h4>

Garcinia Cambogia. So what is this herb, how does it work and most importantly... does it work??<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: red;"><em><u>What is Garcinia?</u></em></span></h4>
Garcinia Cambogia is a small, pumpkin-shaped fruit, sometimes called tamarind. Though native to Indonesia, it is also grown in India, Southeast Asia, and West and Central Africa. It has long been used in traditional South Asian dishes, including curries and chutneys. Many also use the fruit for curing fish and preservation.<br />
<br />
Adding this ingredient to meals is considered to be effective in making meals more “filling.” In some villages in Malaysia, Garcinia is used to make a soup that is eaten before meals for weight loss because of Garcinia’s appetite-blocking abilities.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4lZck6dV8CGyzbggltq8ELSEeA6LlE2BHcgHgQU9MnBZBB49vGLoFIKQE6ojK8Dp-a3AEHoMRaoEPhAHr4VlmED14E8MkB4m_t9nqS_lIPKdY-ZTg8RAmOQskQE4ydi9xOcn0bKKPtdu-/s1600/garcinia.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4lZck6dV8CGyzbggltq8ELSEeA6LlE2BHcgHgQU9MnBZBB49vGLoFIKQE6ojK8Dp-a3AEHoMRaoEPhAHr4VlmED14E8MkB4m_t9nqS_lIPKdY-ZTg8RAmOQskQE4ydi9xOcn0bKKPtdu-/s1600/garcinia.png" /></a></div>
<h4>
<em><span style="color: red;"><u>How does it work?</u></span></em></h4>
Garcinia contains a constituent called Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) this ingredient is what makes Garcinia effective for weightloss. It works on a number of levels:<br />
<ul>
<li>HCA blocks fat by inhibiting a key enzyme that your body needs to make fat from carbohydrates: Citrate lyase. Usually carbohydrates or sugars that are not used immediately or stored in other forms are converted into fats. When HCA inhibits citrate lyase, the fat-making process is halted and the production of LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides decrease.</li>
<li>HCA increases the breakdown of fats and may improve the synthesis of acetycholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscular contraction. Increases in acetycholine synthesis improve athletic performance by increasing endurance. The result of this is being able to train harder for longer which would result in increased calorie burning!</li>
<li>Animal studies have confirmed HCA's ability to slow Glucose uptake from the blood, thus stabilizing blood sugar levels, reducing sugar cravings and delivering sustainable energy throughout the day.</li>
<li>HCA supplementation has been shown to increase serotonin production in the brain. Serotonin is a "feel good" hormone which controls mood, anxiety and sleep. Therefore HCA supplementation can be helpful emotional eaters... don't we all need that sometimes!!</li>
</ul>
<h4>
<em><span style="color: red;"><u>So, Does it work??</u></span></em></h4>
Garcinia cambogia and isolated HCA extract have both been extensively researched but also importantly, have a long history of use in traditional medicine of many cultures.<br />
<br />
When you look up HCA you may find conflicting test results however those which use therapeutic doses with a high percentage of HCA in the plant extract generally yield positive results on a number of parameters including reduced appetite, reduced visceral fat, improved cholesterol HDL:LDL ratios and increased energy.<br />
<br />
Examples of studies include<br />
<br />
1) In a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 40 obese patients were treated with a combination supplement containing G. cambogia 50 mg as well as a 1,200 calorie diet per day. Two tablets of the supplement were taken by mouth 3 times a day after meals. The treatment group attained a 3.5 kg weight loss versus 1.2 kg on placebo, and a more than 85% reduction in fat loss in body composition measurements. The majority of the active group participants did not follow the diet regimen. <span class="biblioref"><a href="http://www.drugs.com/npp/garcinia-hydroxycitric-acid.html#ref18"><em>(</em></a><em>Thom E.

<span class="biblioref"></span><br />
<span class="biblioref">2) Visceral, subcutaneous, and total fat accumulation were reduced in 39 patients over 16 weeks in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. The dosage regimen included HCA 1,000 mg/day versus placebo. At the end of the treatment, both groups were administered placebo for 4 weeks and no rebound effect was documented. <em>(</em><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" id="ref24" name="ref24"></a><em>Hayamizu K, Ishii Y, Kaneko I, et al.

<br />
3) An 8-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study examined the efficacy of HCA-SX in 54 overweight patients. The treatment group was administered a combination supplement containing G. cambogia 500 mg 3 times a day while the control group received the placebo. All patients were asked to maintain a low-fat diet and drink 64 oz of water per day.

<span class="biblioref"><em><span style="color: red;"><u>How to supplement with Garcinia Cambogia/ HCA</u></span></em></span></h3>
<span class="biblioref"></span><br />
<span class="biblioref">Keep in mind that on labels it may be called Garcinia, Brindleberry or HCA.</span><br />
<span class="biblioref"></span><br />
<span class="biblioref">If using the whole herb (labled as Garcinia cambogia) your supplement must be at least 50% HCA. Effectiveness of the extract is dose dependant but 500mg taken 3x daily is the minimum needed to be effective. You need to take Garcinia about 15 min before food for it to be most effective and then try to eat less at that next meal... you should still become full and satisfied.</span><br />
<span class="biblioref"></span><br />
<span class="biblioref"></span><span class="biblioref"></span><span class="biblioref"></span><br />
<span class="biblioref">Here at Evelyn Faye Nutrition we have Garcinia Cambogia 1300mg with 60% HCA. Take 1 tablet before breakfast and 1 before lunch.</span><br />

<br />
Another effective way to take Garcinia is with other ingredients which also help with sugar cravings. These include Chromium, Gymnema & Cinnamomum. Fusion health products make a great formula which is specific for those really struggling with cravings and appetite. Customers often combine this with Fusion Green Tea which stimulates thermogenesis (heat/ calorie burning)<br />

<br />
Wholefoods or any foods that have not been processed are considered to be raw. Raw foods contain a plethora of health benefits as they bypass the manufacturing processing methods that generally decrease the nutrititonal content of foods. Exposure to manufacturing processes whereby the temperature exceeds 47 degrees Celsius destroys not only digestive enzymes beneficial for digestion of food, but many other nutrients that the body requires to fuel a cascade of chemical reactions in the body for optimal health. <br />
<br />
So, where possible, opt for raw food. With impressive nutrient density, digestive enzymes and natural fibre you'll notice a substantial increase in energy levels, regular bowel motions and improved digestive function, enhanced mental clarity and an unmatched overall sense of wellbeing, <em>all from unprocessed wholefoods! </em>Eating wholefoods that have been freshly picked will also leave you feeling more grounded, with a greater connection to earth. <br />
<br />
If you haven't already delved into the wonderful world of raw foods, here's some deliciously amazing recipes for you to try. Happy and healthy eating!<br />

<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
STEP 1: MAGNESIUM</h4>
<br />
Magnesium is renowned as "the great relaxer" offering athletes relief from muscle cramping, muscle tightness and general fatigue. The majority of Australians are magnesium deficient and so supplementation of this essential mineral is important... especially for those undertaking endurance training.<br />
<br />
BSC magnesium uses a blend of different forms of Magnesium including chelate, phosphate, aspartate and malate. Having these differing forms of magnesium allows our body to absorb them well and they are not associated with having the laxative effect of other forms of Magnesium. Additional to the magnesium is a blend of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) which assist in muscle tissue healing<br />
<br />
Total Magnesium per serve is 348mg.<br />
<br />
General dose: Take 2 tsp daily before bed<br />
Pre-event loading: Take 2 tsp 2x daily<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
STEP 2: ADVANCED ENDURANCE SPORTS DRINK</h4>
<br />
This is the core product in the range, covering hydration and energy. It has a complex blend of carbohydrates allowing for immediate energy as well as lasting energy with a total of 22g of carbs per serve. <br />
<br />
We also have our electrolyte blend of sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium in their citrate form which helps maintain muscular alkalinity. Electrolytes ensure our body is hydrated and that muscular tissue can continue to contract and relax in a rhythmical fashion. <br />
<br />
They have also added a small amount of BCAA in this formula to help prevent muscular breakdown whilst undertaking long training sessions.<br />
<br />
General Dose: Approx 1 serve per hour of exercise... this will vary immensely between athletes depending on what exactly they are training for.<br />
<br />
<h4>
STEP 3: RECOVERY PROTEIN</h4>
<br />
This product is designed to be taken within 30min of finishing your training session. It provides the body with carbohydrates and protein, in the ratio which has been clinically researched as the most effective for muscle repair in endurance athletes.<br />
<br />
If you go for a big ride on a Saturday morning and then feel wrecked for the remainder of the day; or if your legs feel heavy after a session and your struggling to come back night after night for another session then this product is essential for you!<br />
<br />
Dose: 4 scoops in water immediately after exercise<br />
Can also be used as a "breakfast" before training where food may be causing discomfort.<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Colostrum is a food which kick starts our growth and
development in life, it is what we are first fed when we enter this word, it
provides us with the ultimate blend of nutrients, immune factors and growth
factors; it is no wonder then that the benefits of consuming this food is now
being investigated for elite athletes and the wider community in general.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A 2002 study from the University of Tasmania,
reported that eight weeks of colostrum supplementation resulted in
an improvement in cycling performance. These findings were presented at the
Pre-Olympic Sports Medicine Conference in Brisbane (Coombs et al., 2000).
Compared to their initial performance eight weeks earlier, the group taking 20
grams of colostrum per day completed the time trial 158 seconds faster whereas
the group taking whey protein improved their performance time by only 37 seconds.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

study conducted in Finland, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a protein found in colostrum, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>induces protein synthesis, which leads to an
increase in lean muscle mass without a corresponding rise in fat tissue.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Researchers found that exercisers who

essential amino acids compared to those receiving placebo. This led to increased muscle protein synthesis,
resulting in faster recovery time following maximal exercise.</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> (Mero, A, et al.

Many studies have confirmed that colostrum supplementation boosts various immunological processes in the body thus preventing infection or reducing symptoms of viral and bacterial infections. <span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A recent study (2006) by Dr. C.M.

<br />
Additional to the obvious symptoms; Iron deficiency can lead to imbalances in enzyme function, hormone production and detoxification. During stages of development such as pregnancy, teenage years or in young children you may also notice sub-optimal growth and development.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhghxL8qbrEDl67ddxb6CCZPA62zulcm6zvdTMaJLsWUEK395YoGCtKcve3UuVPRS8CvVsarlZ3SK-TfQGjn3gj7_jvuONec9YBSI5EgEGmsb7Bm5lUJi8ErwzHMW8ahtUW9_0CDI6ihdsk/s1600/red+blood+cells.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhghxL8qbrEDl67ddxb6CCZPA62zulcm6zvdTMaJLsWUEK395YoGCtKcve3UuVPRS8CvVsarlZ3SK-TfQGjn3gj7_jvuONec9YBSI5EgEGmsb7Bm5lUJi8ErwzHMW8ahtUW9_0CDI6ihdsk/s1600/red+blood+cells.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<h3>
<em><span style="color: #cc0000;">Could you be Iron Deficient?</span></em></h3>
<ol>
<li>Do you feel tired?</li>
<li>Do you feel weak?</li>
<li>Do your skin, nails and gums appear pale?</li>
<li>Do you become out of breath quickly?</li>
<li>Do you have difficulty concentrating? </li>
<li>Does your pulse race?</li>
<li>Do you get heart palpitations?</li>
<li>Is your menstrual cycle irregular?</li>
<li>Do you have cold hands and feet or get numbness?</li>
<li>Do you suffer restless legs?</li>
<li>Are you irritable, feel sad or depressed?</li>
<li>Is your immune system suffering?</li>
<li>Have you ever been diagnosed with anaemia?</li>
</ol>
If you answer YES to 5 or more of these questions it is worth your while to visit your health care practitioner to investigate further.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<em><span style="color: #cc0000;">You may be at higher risk of Iron Deficiency if:</span></em></h3>
<ul>
<li>You are pregnant</li>
<li>You are very active</li>
<li>You have digestive issues which results in reduced absorption of nutrients.</li>
<li>You are vegetarian or vegan</li>
<li>If you have heavy menstrual bleeding or have suffered blood loss as a result of injury or chronic bleeding.</li>
<li>Teenagers</li>
<li>Medications such as Aspirin, ant-acids and proton pump inhibitors.</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<em><span style="color: #cc0000;">Increasing Iron in your diet and improving your absorption of this nutrient:</span></em></h3>
<ol>
<li> FOOD~ We get greatest absorption of Iron found in animal products including beef, pork, lamb, liver, turkey, chicken, oysters, sardines and salmon. Vegetarian sources of iron include kelp, molasses, brewers yeast, pumpkin seeks, cashews, dandelion greens, prunes and dates.</li>
<li>VITAMIN C~ Combining the above foods with food rich in vitamin C will help our bodies to increase the Iron absorption; increase capsicum, broccoli, kale, parsley, kiwi fruit, oranges, lemons and strawberries.</li>
<li>FOODS WHICH REDUCE ABSORPTION~ These are not foods which are un healthy for us, rather, if your iron levels are low avoid eating them at the same time as an iron rich meal. This includes eggs, dairy, tea, coffee, red wine, soybeans and tofu.</li>
</ol>
<h3>
<em><span style="color: #cc0000;">Supplementing with Iron.</span></em></h3>
This topic is controversial and confusing for the consumer. Most GP's will recommend the supplement range Ferro-Grad; unfortunately this Pharmacy branded product is poorly absorbed and is commonly associated with side effects including constipation and nausea. <br />
<br />
BUT... NOT ALL IRON IS CREATED EQUAL!!<br />
<br />
Please when looking into taking Iron supplements go to your local health food store or visit your naturopath for advice. We have HEAPS of supplements which are well absorbed and well tolerated so you can get the most out of your supplement without any of the side effects :-) <br />
<br />
Brands which we highly recommend at Evelyn Faye Nutrition include Eagle, Bioceuticals and Ethical Nutrients.<br />
<br />
Liquid Iron supplements such as Spatone or Floradix are great for maintenance of Iron levels but are not high enough dose to correct deficiencies.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
One of the most common questions we get asked these days is whether people should choose Krill Oil over Fish Oil. In the past year there has been an explosion of Kill Oil onto the market and millions of dollars of advertising pushing its benefits over that of Fish Oil. But what does the research say...<br />
<br />
Firstly the difference between the two:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Both contain Omega 3 Triglycerides, EPA and DHA</li>
<li>Krill Oil is considered to be better absorbed due to its molecular structure which includes phospholipids, these encourage absorption through the bowel wall, hence the dosage required for comparable effect is far less than Fish oil.</li>
<li>Krill also contains many anti oxidants the most prominent of which is Astaxanthin.</li>
<li>Fish Oils has undergone numerous studies over many decades confirming its efficacy in aiding many health conditions</li>
<li>Krill Oil is the new kid on the block and research is still emerging however appears promising.</li>
<li>Whilst Krill Oil may be better absorbed the total amount of Omega 3 is far less than in Fish Oil.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Omega 3 Fatty Acids are beneficial to our body in many ways. Supplementation with Omega 3 is about correcting an imbalance in our Omega intake which has occurred over time due to farming and processing methods and a general over consumption of Omega 6.<br />
<br />
Back in Paleolithic times our ratio of Omega 3:6 consumption was about 1:1. These days it is estimated the ratio has blown out to approximately 16:1. This is to do with a number of factors including gain fed stock and fish, increases in consumption of grains/ vegetable fats, reduced consumption on fresh vegetables and an increase in processed foods.<br />
<br />
The result of increased Omega 6 to 3 is an increase in Inflammation... the underlying pathology to most degenerative health conditions.<br />
<br />
So therefore Omega 3 supplements will help with cardiovascular disease, arthritis, cognitive decline, hormonal imbalances, allergies etc etc the list could go on for pages!<br />
<br />
So back to the topic... Fish or Krill??<br />
<br />
This is a personal opinion but I would use fish in the majority of situations except cardiovascular disease where there is overwhelming evidence for the efficacy of Krill Oil. The reasons I believe this is due to outstanding evidence of Fish Oil health benefits, the value for money between the two oils, the sustainability of farming practices and the impact of farming on the environment.<br />
<br />
After making this statement I now fear that people will go out and buy a tub of 400 Fish Oil capsules for $15.95... PLEASE DO NOT!!<br />
<br />
The price difference between your bulk buy fish oil and the superior brands can seem significant, but so are the reasons to choose these superior brands...<br />
<ul>
<li>Ethical fishing practices and sustainability.</li>
<li>Purity and contamination... whilst all oils will meet with Australian standards, the brands mentioned below go above and beyond these guidelines to deliver pure, un-oxidized, fresh, clean oils.</li>
<li>Manufacturing in oxygen, light and heat free environments which yield a fresher (less oxidised) product</li>
<li>Less oxidation = no fishy after taste</li>
<li>Stronger concentration of EPA and DHA per capsule.</li>
<li></li>
</ul>
Brands which we would highly recommend include Ethical Nutrients, Pure Oil Innovations, Bioceuticals and Nordic Naturals.<br />

Add to that a few hot cross buns, cups of coffee and some drinks out on Saturday night and it is fair to say that I have COMPLETELY overdosed on my old friend sugar this weekend! Now I feel sluggish and tired so what does my body keep asking for..... YEP, MORE SUGAR! So how can we beat those sugar cravings moving forward after Easter...<br />
<br />
Carbohydrates are made up of glucose molecules which fuel our body for brain and muscular energy, without this we feel tired both physically and mentally. When we eat carbs our body produces the hormone Insulin which allows our cells to absorb the glucose from the blood and turn it into energy. Excess glucose will be stored in the muscles or liver as glycogen, OR converted to fat and stored around our waistline :-(<br />
<br />
When we eat excessive carbohydrates regularly, or if we skip meals, our bodies stop producing the appropriate reponse and too much sugar remains in the bloodstream rather than in our cells; or it comes and goes too rapidlly so our energy and mood fluctuates. Our cells then cry out for more to try and restore balance but unfortunately this only makes matters worse... and so the cycle begins...<br />
<br />
So controlling our sugar cravings requires a few steps:<br />
<ul>
<li>We need carbohydrates which absorb SLOWLY into our cells (low Glyceamic Index (GI)) therefore our cells are satified for longer and don't cry out for a quick sugar hit! Combining protein and good fats with our meals further lowers a foods GI... therefore plan your meals to be a healthy combination of Carbohydrates, Protein and Healthy Fats</li>
<li>Avoid refined carbohydrates such as sweets, white bread, pasta etc</li>
<li>Eat at regular intervals and avoid skipping meals (especially breakfast!)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3 align="JUSTIFY">
<em>Factors affecting the GI</em> </h3>
<dir><span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Amount of cooking:</strong> <span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata;"><span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata;">Starches in food swell when cooked. The starch grains in a baked potato swell to bursting point, whereas the starch grains in brown rice remain relatively unchanged. The former has a high GI, the latter a moderate GI. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata;"><span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata; font-size: x-small;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Type of starch</strong> - <span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata;"><span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata;">amylopectin and amylose are both starches found in carbohydrate. The amount and ratio of these two in a food will make the difference between a fast break down and slow break down. For example wheat, corn and rice are high in amylopectin making them fast releasing whereas barley, rye and quinoa are higher in amylose making them slower releasing. Basmati and Doongara rice is higher in amylose and is therefore lower in GI compared to normal white rice. </span></span></span></div>

</span><div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Processing:</strong> <span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata;"><span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata;">When grains are rolled, ground, smashed or pre-cooked (ie. instant), the protective (and harder to digest) outer jacket is removed exposing the soft easily digested starch. Whole oats have a lower GI than instant or quick-cook oats. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata;"><span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata; font-size: x-small;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Fibre:</strong> <span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata;"><span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata;">Fibre acts as a bulking agent slowing down glucose absorption. Some foods naturally have higher amounts of fibre – (eg. beans and legumes). It is therefore better to eat whole foods such as brown rice and wholegrain breads rather than their white, refined alternatives. It also means that whole fruit with its higher fibre content is better than a fresh juice without pulp. Always dilute fresh juices with water and maybe add back some pulp. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Protein:</strong> <span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata;"><span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata;">Protein will lower the GI of a meal by slowing down digestion and gastric emptying time. Protein also has a higher satiety level meaning you will be kept satisfied for longer. Aim to make up at least 1/3 of your meal from protein. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Fat:</strong> <span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata;"><span style="font-family: IFLKA E+ Formata,Formata;">Fat also reduces gastric emptying time and as a result slows down the absorption of glucose from the meal. It is essential to consume the right kind of fats from raw nuts and seeds, fish, avocado and cold pressed oils. </span></span></span></div>

We are all going to give in to the odd chocolate craving, but when selecting your chocolate choose it well!! Dark chocolate has many health benefits and you rarely over eat it unlike milk chocolate which you can eat all day! Pana chocolate is local to Port Melbourne and is totally dairly free and natural. It comes in a small little packet and you really only need one square to be satisfied. So when you JUST HAVE TO have it, choose wisely!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">When we
talk about natural therapies for slowing the ageing process the first thing
that comes to mind is maintaining youthful looking, radiant skin. Our skin
however is just an external reminder of our internal cellular health; and when
a naturopath talks about turning back our biological clock they are talking
about keeping your body in a state which is free from oxidative stress &
inflammation... the two major contributors to degenerative/ age related
diseases.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

problems facing the aging population is arthritis, heart disease, diabetes,
memory decline, cancer and osteoporosis. All of these conditions are initiated
and sustained as a result of oxidation and inflammation. Therefore it is our responsibility
to combat these two issues with great food, healthy lifestyle choices and
perhaps a few supportive supplements chosen to meet an individuals needs and
risk factors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Lifestream V-Omega 3 + Vitamin D</h1>
<span style="font-family: calibri;"><h2>
Lifestream V-Omega 3 is 100% natural, derived from marine microalgae. This high strength DHA product with EPA and plant derived Vitamin D contains 66% more DHA per capsule than standard fish oils, without the fishy smell or aftertaste! </h2>
</span><span style="font-family: calibri;">Did you know that fish don’t naturally produce omega 3 EPA & DHA? The reason fish contain essential fatty acids is because they consume algae. It is the algae that naturally produce EPA & DHA and Lifestream have gone straight to this pure source. Lifestream V-Omega 3 is designed to offer the benefits of these essential nutrients from a plant based, sustainable resource, free from impurities and contaminants</span><br />

<h3>
Why take omega 3?</h3>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Omega 3 essential fatty acids (EPA & DHA) are named as such, as they are essential to our health. Unfortunately we can’t synthesise these ourselves, therefore the only way to obtain them is through our diet and supplementation. They are integral to the suppleness and health of all cells, and have been shown to provide many positive benefits for brain function, cardiovascular and nervous systems, joint health and mobility. </div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Flaxseed provides the body with omega-3 in the far less effective form of alpha-linoleic acid (ALA). ALA is not</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
equivalent to DHA or EPA in its biological effects, and needs to be converted to EPA in order to be effective.</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: calibri;"><h3>
The importance of Vitamin D</h3>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
The main source of vitamin D is via exposure to sunlight. So as people start to spend more time in doors both at work and/or at home, risks of deficiencies increase. This makes supplemental Vitamin D even more important. Some groups that are at risk of deficiencies include: older people in residential care or admitted to hospital, people with hip fractures, people with very dark skin, people with skin cancers or skin-related conditions, where avoidance of sunlight is required, people who completely avoid the sun, people with malabsorption syndromes.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: calibri;">One key need for optimal Vitamin D is for bone health. Vitamin D is ideal for anyone who does not get enough natural sunlight. It works with calcium to support its absorption into the bone, thus in turn it helps to build and maintain strong healthy bones. Vitamin D is also important for healthy moods, and immunity. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: calibri;">Optimal vitamin D is needed to support:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: calibri;">A staggering 100,000 tonnes of fish oil are now consumed from our oceans, of that over 51,000 tonnes are used for food supplements, says a new report.

Choose EPA & DHA rich sustainable sources for your food supplements, algae derived materials are a proven 100% clean, free from toxins and do not come from the already ravaged oceans.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Before you rush out to get your family vaccinated against
the flu this winter consider stimulating your body’s natural defences with
Vitamin D supplementation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><em>Is the reason winter tends to be the cold and flu season merely
because viruses prefer cold weather?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Unlikely…<o:p></o:p></em></strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As I’ll explain, Vitamin D has a stimulating effect on our
immune system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So given that Vitamin D
is primarily manufactured in our bodies after sun exposure; perhaps this lack
of sun in winter months is a contributing factor to the increased frequency of
colds and flu’s. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Way back when, we were all exposed to much more sun rays
than we are in today’s lifestyle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most
of us spend the majority of daylight hours inside… especially working people
and the elderly, we cover up when outdoors and we smother our children in SPF
at even the slightest sign of sunny weather.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is not surprising then that a quarter of Australians tested are
Vitamin D deficient and given its importance in immune function what effect may
this be having on incidences of allergies, cancer, diabetes and autoimmune
disease?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For this article though, I’ll
concentrate on the common cold and influenza.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Where vitamin D fits in our immune defences is in the
activation of T-cells… cells which lay dormant, then, with exposure to a virus
or bacteria become activated to seek out and destroy these pathogens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additionally T-cells act as a memory bank,
storing information about these viruses so that when next exposed we can
respond faster to them thus preventing the virus from taking hold or speeding
up recovery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the presence of a Vitamin D deficiency T-cells will fail
to activate thus leaving us exposed to infection, and ongoing recurrent
infections.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Results of a range of studies looking at Vitamin D and the
immune system have shown:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Children with Vitamin D deficiency have an
increased rate of upper respiratory infections and pneumonia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Children supplementing with 1200IU Vitamin D per
day had a 42%reduction in influenza.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 36pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Women given 800IU Vit D/ day had a 60% reduction
in colds and flu; when given 2000IU there was a 90% reduction<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Given the inconsistency in reported efficacy and number of
side effects related to the flu vaccine perhaps it is time to consider
stimulating our bodies natural immune system to fight these battles the way
nature designed us to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Pro vaccine”
advocates have even stated that vaccine efficacy would most likely be improved
by co-administration of Vitamin D (this is a big admission for these guys!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There is a study which showed no effect of Vitamin D on
Immunity however this trial administered massive doses of Vitamin D once per
month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This suggests that Vitamin D is
best given as a daily supplement to reach and maintain optimal plasma levels.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So if you want to
give yourself the best fighting chance of staying healthy this coming “flu
season” get out doors now while the sun is still shining; go to your GP and ask
for a blood test to determine your Vitamin D status and then if needed get into
your health food store (Evelyn Faye Nutrition!) and get yourself and your
family a vitamin D supplement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Beta Alanine (BA) is an amino
acid which is converted by the body into Carnosine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The benefit of increased Carnosine for
endurance athletes is a buffering effect on lactic acid and therefore reduced <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">fatigue in working muscles,
especially during interval training, sprints and hill climbs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Carnosine buffers hydrogen ions, thus lowering acidity – necessary
for the balance between production and elimination of lactic acid; it accounts
for up to 30% of the pH buffering capacity of the body.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: x-small;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ingestion of beta-alanine for
four to eight weeks has been shown to elevate muscle Carnosine by up to 65%
(Pottier 2007, Harris 2006, Hill 2007). This means the body is capable of
buffering more hydrogen and eliminating more lactic acid, the end result for an
athlete is an improved lactate threshold.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Beta-alanine supplements should
be consumed daily (6g/day) during heavy training blocks for a minimum of four
weeks. The buffering effects can be expected to slowly increase from the
beginning of training, and sustained throughout the entire training block.
Using this supplementation strategy to improve interval workouts or threshold
training workouts is the best method to achieve a lasting physiological change
that can be carried over into races.</span><br />

These little goodies have an abundance of nutritional qualities. Nuts are high in protein, fiber, vitamin E, zinc, magnesium, calcium<br />and potassium, not to mention your essential fatty acids omega 3, 6 & 9. Their nutrient dense properties make nuts beneficial for many conditions such as cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, reproductive conditions such as painful or heavy periods and mood disorders. The protein and fiber content gives you a sense of satiety so you don’t crave high calorie foods as much, so great for the weight conscious individual. The antioxidant properties of vitamin E can have a protective effect on the body. Nut milk is a highly nutritiousand delicious alternative to cow’s milk or soy milk. For those who are intolerant to these milks or would like to be inspired to get creative in the kitchen then please read on!!</div><div><br />Nut milks are totally easy and fun to make but before you get going there are a few ground rules.<br />Due to the fatty acid content in nuts, they are highly susceptible to rancidity. Rancid nuts can irritate the lining of your digestive tract making digestion and absorption difficult. Rancidity can destroy vitamins such as vitamin A &E. The best way to avoid this is to go organic so that you ensure a clean, nutrient dense food that is fresh. Once opened, store your nuts in an amber jar in the fridge to ensure freshness. Don’t buy nuts in bulk, and take note of where you are buying them from. Are you picking your nuts from a giant tub which is exposed to air, light<br />and heat? This is setting them up for oxidation and rancidity. Soaking your nuts is also very<br />important. Nature has set it up so that nuts, seeds and grains can survive until proper growing conditions are present. Nature’s defence mechanisms include nutritional and enzyme inhibitors which are easily removed by wetting the nut, seed or grain. Always soak your nuts for at least 6 hours before making nut milk. An extra little tip for snacking on raw nuts is soaking them<br />in a little water for 10 minutes and then consuming. That way they are easy on the digestive system. </div><div><br />Nut milk bags are really handy. Once you have blended your nuts you can strain instantly or leave in the nut bag. The longer you leave the milk in the bag the stronger the taste. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Now for the fun part!<br /></div><div> </div><div>ALMOND MILK<br />Almonds are slightly warming in nature, they lubricate the intestines and from a Chinese Medicine perspective, they relieve stagnant qi . Almond milk is traditionally used for lung conditions including cough and asthma. Almonds are high in potassium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, folate, vitamin E.</div><div><br />Soak 1 cup of raw organic almonds over night<br />Remove the skin (this will be very easy to do)<br />Place in a blender with 2 cups of fresh water<br />Optional: 1 date chopped finely or a hint of vanilla extract for flavour.<br />Once blended, pour in a nut milk bag and strain into a glass jar. </div><div><br />WALNUT MILK<br />The omega3 fatty acids can reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Walnuts nourish the kidney/adrenals and brain. They contain phytosterols which are shown to reduce LDL (low density lipoprotein: the bad cholesterol) and total cholesterol. Omega 3 fatty acids may reduce high blood pressure and therefore protect against cardiovascular disease. Walnuts contain bio-available melatonin and may therefore regulate sleep. Perhaps a nice glass of walnut milk before bed for those inclined to sleep deprivation!</div><div><br />Soak 1 cup of walnuts for 6 hours or overnight<br />Rinse really well and peel skin. You can leave the skin on however it will be a little bitter<br />Place in a blender with 3 cups of fresh water<br />1 teaspoon agave nectar, hint of vanilla extract or 1 date for sweetness<br />Place in nut milk bag and strain<br /><br />HAZELNUT MILK<br />Hazelnuts are high in vitamin E making them a strong antioxidant. Folic acid is also found to be high, as well as B group vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids, making these nuts beneficial in<br />neurological conditions, mood disorders and preconception care. </div><div><br />Soak 1 cup hazelnuts overnight<br />Peel the skin and place in blender with 3.5 cups fresh water<br />Add 1 date, 1 tsp agave syrup or hint of vanilla extract for sweetness<br />Blend in a food processor<br />Place in nut milk bag and strain<br /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>It can be incredibly rewarding to create something from scratch and reap the benefits.

But what <em>are</em> anti oxidants and what are these funny sounding "Free Radicals" that we are supposed to be fighting??</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Our body produces Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS) which are compounds proposed to have detrimental health effects. Cancer, dementia, diabetes, accelerated ageing, arthritis, eye disease and lung disease are just a small number of health issues related to oxidative cell damage caused by these compounds. Our bodies natural protective mechanisms neutralize ROS, RNS and their by-products; however in some cases with poor lifestyle and dietary choices, the balance between these nasties (known collectivly as Free Radicals) and our body's anti oxidant capabilities means that our bodies are suffering from "oxidative stress" leading to cellular damage and inflammation.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Anti oxidants are a group of vitamins, enzymes and amino acids required by the body to neutralise free radicals. They include Vitamin C, E, Beta-carotene and Zinc; Co enzyme Q10 and Glutathione. Many herbs also have strong anti-oxidant properties due to their nutritional content -Turmeric, Grape seeds, Polygonum, Milk Thistle, Green tea and Olive leaf to name just a few!</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>So what's in our food...</div><div> </div><div>Foods with dark bright colours tend to be the highest in anti-oxidants; especially those with red or purple colouring. Try these simple tips to increase the anti-oxidant in your diet:</div><ul><li>Add a handful of fresh or frozen berries to your breakfast muesli or smoothie</li><li>Include a tablespoon of Chia seeds in your yoghurt (allow to sit for 10min before eating)</li><li>Choose darker greens instead of lettuce for your salads</li><li>Include roasted beetroot and red cabbage in your salads</li><li>Choose dark red grapes over the green ones</li><li>Try to eat as much raw produce as possible as heat can destroy some anti oxidants</li><li>Drink Green tea every day.</li></ul><p>How to avoid increasing your oxidative stress:</p><ul><li>Reduce exposure to smoking, pollution or toxic chemicals in the air such as nail polish, chemical cleaning products, air freshners etc</li><li>If you have a stressful lifestyle ensure you have time out periods and find ways to wind down and relax</li><li>Get a good sleep each night</li><li>Avoid overly processed foods and alcohol</li><li>Check for heavy metal toxicity (this can be done through hair analysis testing)</li><li></li></ul><p>Another great way to enhance your anti-oxidant intake is through super foods such as Acai, Spirulina and Barley Grass. We at Evelyn Faye have just taken on a new range of superfoods from Passion Projects. Not only are they great for you, they are Australian made and the packaging is 100% biodegradeable.

When out of balance, yin and yang negatively affect your health. </li><li>Qi (pronounced "chee") is the life force or energy which flows through the meridians of the body. When there's too little or too much qi, or when the flow of qi is blocked, illness results. </li></ul><p>TCM aims to re-balance the body into a state whereby the body can heal itself. It is an effective treatment for both adults and childeren and can treat a wide range of conditions including skin issues, nervous system problems such as hyperactivity or nervousness, digestive complains and hormonal imbalances </p><p>TCM differs from Western Herbal Medicine which tends to use only one or two herbs to treat just a specific symptom. A Chinese Herbal formula has as many as 20 different herbs. The herbs are selected to work synergistically to treat the whole person and treat the root (or cause) of a health concern along with the symptoms.</p><p>TCM is a complex medical system but at Evelyn Faye Nutrition we have two companies that have taken the difficulty out of formulating these remedies.</p><p>FUSION <a href="http://www.fusionhealth.com.au/">http://www.fusionhealth.com.au/</a> - An Australian company based in Byron Bay, Fusion have a range of Chinese herbal combinations which can be used for all ages and for animals!</p><p>RED PEONY <a href="http://www.sunherbal.com.au/pages.asp?ID=Red+Peony">http://www.sunherbal.com.au/pages.asp?ID=Red+Peony</a> This range of TCM is specifically targeted towards childerens health and includes treatment options for coughs and colds, behavior, allergies and digestion.</p><p> <img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 135px; height: 126px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678380795290269410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Wxjyq5A1eBPYBP1xwTjsEiGJpjjV7nBUm43BcXGdNo0yc7Legvc6y9m1HhuDfXY9tZeFKMRm7m6rxXsCVQm1j8CmUV7w5M90Yx4nQjMnoLLk9yFVH-raERT3DeAduuAN5ayzcnbu2rWd/s320/red+peony.png" /></p></div></div></div>Evelyn Faye Nutrition - South Melbournehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17749329858522760933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363742386386409414.post-6603712672551248632011-07-18T23:41:00.000-07:002011-10-26T22:15:27.197-07:00BLACK RICE<div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtxwKKqYNLg9PaXIvYilocwhfAv5rbzU7CCQ6SkiIDy-sgkWgvOtcybth5t7WZpFeEFoR7PL8VYnaC8FVZl4l1GkoRAIwqsCebOG8gpyGwhDQ4c-Jsyf1_LW1jTLWWuXwWXTixXbg0ROer/s1600/black+rice"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px; height: 320px; float: left; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630959339015519810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtxwKKqYNLg9PaXIvYilocwhfAv5rbzU7CCQ6SkiIDy-sgkWgvOtcybth5t7WZpFeEFoR7PL8VYnaC8FVZl4l1GkoRAIwqsCebOG8gpyGwhDQ4c-Jsyf1_LW1jTLWWuXwWXTixXbg0ROer/s320/black+rice" /></a><div><strong>Have you heard of the newest superfood discovery that is centuries old?</strong> </div><div> </div><div>Black Rice was once known as "forbidden rice" since in ancient China only nobles were allowed to eat it. It is considered one of our lesser known but equally impressive superfoods. </div><div> </div><div>Food scientist Dr Zhimin said <em><strong>"Just a spoonful of Black Rice contains more health promoting anthocyanin antioxidants than in a spoon of blueberries but with less sugar, more fibre and a higher Vitamin E content."</strong></em> </div><div> </div><div>Anthocyanidins provide the dark colour in many fruit and vegetables and give Black Rice its purple appearance. It is these powerful antioxidants which mop up dangerous free radicals in the body, protecting us from heart disease, cancer and the ageing process.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Black Rice also has anti inflammatory properties and has been shown in clinical trials to reduce allergic dermatitis and eczema.

They have been touted for all ages as an essential supplement to our diets; but do we really need them and how do we choose a good one?<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">The case for multivitamins:</span></strong><br /><br /><ul><br /><li>Typical western diet consists of highly processed and nutritionally deficient foods</li><br /><li>Deficiencies are identified as risk factors for many disease states such as osteoporosis, cancer and cognitive decline; as well as poor immune function, fatigue and reduced ability to cope with stress.</li><br /><li>Many sectors of the community may have a reduced ability to digest food and assimilate nutrients such as the elderly, alcoholics and those with allergies and digestive inflammation.</li><br /><li>During certain phases of life we may require more than what we consume through our diet- such as during pregnancy, highly stressful events, high physical activity, when we are sick or as digestion diminishes.</li></ul><br /><p>Most multivitamin dosages are based on the individual nutrients RDI which determines the amount of a nutrient needed per day to prevent disease. Today however, we realise consuming doses greater than the bare minimum can not only reduce disease risk but also help acute needs such as immune enhancement and energy. </p><br /><p><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">What makes a good Multi?</span></strong></p><br /><ul><br /><li><strong>A balance of vitamins</strong> equivalent to the ratios required by the body and to produce a synergistic effect. ie a calcium to magnesium ratio close to 2:1.</li><br /><li><strong>Nutrient forms and bound minerals</strong>. For example Natural Vitamin E is better absorbed than synthetic Vitamin E. While citrates, chelates and phosphates provide higher bioavailibility than inorganic salts such as oxides, chlorides and sulphates.</li><br /><li><strong>Non-competing nutrients.</strong> For example Ascorbic acid may degrade other nutrients due to its acidic properties compared to calcium ascorbate which is neutral.</li><br /><li><strong>Meeting or exceeding current Australian RDI's</strong></li></ul><br /><p><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Research:</span></strong></p><br /><ul><br /><li>A 2002 Study suggested all adults should take a multivitamin daily and an increased dose may be recommended for those at high risk of disease (such as elderly)</li><br /><li>Young men taking a multivitamin in a randomised controlled trial observed benefits for stress, anxiety, energy and concentration (2007)</li><br /><li>Dietary epidemiological study combined with a study on disease state concluded consuming a daily multivitamin far outweighs any potential risk.
