People often DO feel better for following a "detox diet", yet this has little to do with the elimination of toxins from their body. Any person, who starts to eat more fruits and vegetables, drinks more water, eats less foods high in fat, salt or added sugar, and drinks less alcohol will naturally feel better. In the New Year, you might feel pressured to go on a detox diet to feel cleansed, energised and healthier. Rather than trying to stick to a specific detox diet, start to make small, concerted changes to your diet that you can stick with long-term. Drink a glass of water every 2 hours, swap that left-over christmas chocolate at dinner for some fresh fruit and stop drinking alcohol during the weeknights. By implementing small changes incrementally over time, you will start to feel more energised 🧡

We came home to find lots of zucchini flowers in the garden 🧡💚💛 Happy New Year friends! Thank-you for following along here xx

Is cheese bad for you? 🧀 A big question, but here’s the short of it: • Unless you have a cow’s milk protein or dairy allergy (or have ethical views against eating dairy), eating cheese can be consumed as part of a healthy diet. Just don’t overdo it. A good rule of thumb is to stick to 1 matchbox size of cheese each day. • Cheese is high in protein, calcium and can be a great way to improve your vitamin B12 intake (especially if you are vegetarian). • Processed cheese is not cheese. This includes “kraft singles”, “bega-stringers” etc. High quality, organic cheese is going to give you the biggest amount of nutrients for your $. • If you are concerned about calories, soft cheeses (Ricotta, feta, mozzarella) tend to have less calories than hard cheeses (Parmesan, swiss, cheddar). • I love Parmesan cheese and the fact that it has the highest calcium content of all cheeses makes me like it even more! ❤️

“Alkaline water” or “pH water” has no added health benefits to regular water. Regular water has a pH of 7 which is considered neutral (not alkaline and not acidic). 💧 No high-quality evidence exists that supports claims these waters: cleanse your colon, improve your skin or help you loose weight. Claims that these waters "neutralise acid" in the blood stream are simply not true. This is because water mixes in with your stomach acid once you drink it (raising the pH level) - then it gets digested into your blood stream. So just stick to plain tap water (or filtered tap water if you prefer). You’ll save your money AND help reduce the 107047799 kgs of plastic water bottles Australians purchase each year ♻️
