CASTOR OIL & HAIR

The health of your hair begins at your scalp. If your scalp is not healthy, if it does not have the right nutrients then your hair will not be healthy. Over the past year I have been focusing on the health of my scalp. My hair would only ever grow to a certain length and my hair was falling out. So I started to focus on my scalp and my hair is thicker and longer than it has been and I have lots of new hair growing.

Packaged Foods - are we really judging them the way we are suppose to?

Our supermarkets are full of processed foods. Most of it isn’t really food. The health food section is really filled with processed foods thought to be healthy. I often wonder what they should really be describing the rest of the supermarket if all the ‘healthy’ food is in the health food isle.

I tend to stay away from packaged foods unless the ingredients are whole and organic. This is often hard to find! Even if the food is Certified Organic, I still check the ingredients as you never know what the product may be made of, or if they have used some additives to improve the function of the product or to make it have a longer shelf life. Sometimes, products which are not certified organic have better ingredients that those certified organic so it is definitely worthwhile checking.

WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE the switch to organic tallow balm

Tallow is the rendered fat of cows, sheep, and other ruminant animals such as deer. Rendering is the process of gently heating the fat tissue, called “suet,” causing the pure oils to melt away from the rest of the tissue. It is very solid and waxy at room temperature and can be kept for extended periods without the need for refrigeration.

5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD INCLUDe ORGAN MEATS IN YOUR DIET!

Our ancestors knew how nutrient dense organ meats were. They knew how to consume the whole animal…..bones, organs, meat and the fat. When I was little, my parents used to eat organ meats….brain, liver, kidney….but over time there has been a move away from eating organ meats and a push towards processed junk foods, and as such, the health of humans has decreased.

10 reasons to avoid GMO foods

Genetically modified (GM) foods are already in our food supply. They are most likely in your pantry and are being consumed by many people. Most products are not labelled as being genetically modified or containing GM ingredients for reasons I will go through shortly. The regulators who monitor GM crops and the import of GM ingredients, deem these foods and crops to be ‘safe’, however we do not know what the long term effects are. It is your choice whether you consume GM foods through the choice of food you buy. This blog here is just to promote awareness on our food supply and those made with GM ingredients, so that you can make a conscious decision about what you put in your body.
