Better late than ....? February's Blog 2014
Hello blog people and once again if my video hasn't said enough my apologies for 2months away from blogging. Why? well there is no excuse except life. This month blogs is a look at my passions/projects. As Joseph Campbell quote goes 'follow your bliss', I have been trying to use my intuition and do just that. Using my manifesting mind maps I have been drawing on my creative nature (as we all can) and allowing that to lead me into new adventures. So with that listen to the vid and look at the other clips and one extra from one of my favourite business people... No not Sir Richard Branson though he is well up there in top slot but Maria Forleo, she talk about money one of my favourite subjects as it has been a source of intrigue, so watch and be lead by your heart with the odd check into your thoughts and all will be well. Have a fun Feb x

Hello and thank you, to all who have taken time out to read and look at this blog.
This month is a busy month for me, what with our film night, along with workshops and talks as well as teaching and working with my fantastic clients life is truly amazing.
This blog touches on calories and the importance of not taking them too seriously but helps you demystify the whole debate around calories. I also talk about my first nutrition workshop 'I'm so excited' and other news around Xmas at Axis. Enjoy November x

Setting Goals
KEFIR - a living food, long-life secret
(Milk kefir)
(Milk kefir)
For the last two years I have been using and
supplying to my clients Kefir. So what is Kefir?
Milk kefir is a probiotic cultured milk drink that
originated in the northern Caucasus Mountains
many centuries ago. Kefir means "feel good" in
Turkish. It has a thick creamy sticky consistency,
tastes a little like yogurt, and has a milky, yeasty smell. After a few days in the same
container, the smell can become very sharp and cheesy, but it is NOT putrid.
Kefir is unlike most other dairy products because it is easily digestible and contains
little sugar (lactose), especially if you let it ferment for a longer period. The proteins in
the milk are also broken down, and are virtually in a pre-digested state. I drink it on
its own, as a meal in itself, and a source of protein. Some people combine it with fruit
or muesli, or use it to make a smoothie. The whey makes a great starter for sourdough
breads, cakes, and all forms of baking. If, like most people, you have a damaged
digestive system, a glass of kefir is a magic soothing and healing product. You may find
that during the hours after drinking it, your stomach feels settled and stable.
Unlike yogurt, kefir contains around thirty strains of bacteria and yeast, mostly
including lactobacillus bacteria. The culture comes in little translucent balls called
grains, though these grains have nothing to do with any kind of cereal. They are a
complex bio-matrix structure of soluble gel-polysaccharide, organic acids, yeasts and
bacteria. This polysaccharide called Kefiran is made from two mono-saccharides, Glucose
and Galactose in almost equal proportions. Kefiran has anti-tumour properties,
preventing the development of metastasis. It is an anti-inflammatory and is an excellent
stimulant for your immune system. The grains produce their own antibiotics. Kefir is rich
in minerals and vitamins, particularly the B group, and vitamin K2. Kefir slows the
ageing process and has many healing properties, helping with heart and artery disease,
lowering cholesterol levels and regulating hypertension / blood pressure. It assists your
digestive system, healing the liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, gall bladder and stomach
ulcers, and soothing your digestive and urinary tracts.
For people who do not have milk in there diet you can purchase water Kefir with similar
properties.
