Due to aggressive food production methods, the current  yields of fruit, vegetables and grains, no longer contain enough of certain needed  minerals. Vitamins without minerals are useless to the human body. .  So what do I do?  Supplement!    This then caused an additional battle with the Kids, as not only do I still try to encourage a healthy diet, when looking at the list supplements needed, was also trying to get my 2 kids to take about 5-6 tablets a day!  Now, I have my own brand of supplements, so my expense and inconvenience was not as great as some other Mums, but, of course, the majority stayed on the dining table, or I found them hidden at the back of the settee, in drawers and my suspicions were raised when our mongrel Dog developed a fantastic shiny coat, the wettest nose and brightest eyes!    Then a  good friend of mine Neil Asher, who was starting to have the same concerns over his daughter Isabellas&#8217; diet (that&#8217;s her on the font of the pack), took the bull by the horns and decided to come up with mix that would solve his problem and in doing so has developed  a fantastic way that will help us all.   <a href="http://tinyurl.com/42hbgbq">Kidz 5 A Day</a>, does exactly what it say on the the tin!  Mix it up with a banana and milk, add a bit of honey to sweeten, sprinkle a tad of chocolate dusting powder on the top, (the stuff that comes with the sachets of  Cappuccino, that I will not throw away and have cupboards full of!),  To coin a phrase &#8211; My Kids 5 a day, Done!  (btw, Neil used to work with Gordon Ramsay so he certainly knows his foody stuff, but  probably wouldn&#8217;t dare nick Gordons&#8217; phrase!) My Kids love it so much, they fight over whose turn it is to make it!!   PS.  Neil has given me a special link for you to try this for free (well ok, £2 postage!)  I&#8217;m not sure how long this will last so go get it here <a href="http://tinyurl.com/42hbgbq">Kidz 5 A Day.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>As regular followers of Chris Woollams at <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6eb5kw9">Cancer Active</a>, whose daughter Catherine died of a brain tumour, know, he has been arguing this for <strong>9 long years</strong> &#8211; at times (like when Cancer Research UK confidently stated on their blog that there was no research that mobile phones increased cancer risk) it seemed no one was listening to him. As he sees it, this is just the start!  <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6eb5kw9">Click here</a>.  Read the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/65dfeub">World Health Organisation press release. </a></em></p>
<p>But that&#8217;s not all. This week <strong>the European Parliamentary Assembly</strong> has come to a resolution stating that member Governments should urge fixed-line internet in schools rather than WiFi, regulate school children&#8217;s use of mobile phones, take action on antennas (masts) and urged Governments to send out information on the dangers of EMF&#8217;s to teachers, parents and children. They have even said Governments should adopt the <strong>&#8216;Precautionary Principle&#8217;.</strong> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6eb5kw9">Keep Informed</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://touchedtherapies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Antioxidant-Foods.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-837" title="Antioxidant Foods" src="http://touchedtherapies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Antioxidant-Foods-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>It appears, or so we are told, almost every food you can think of,  is rich in  antioxidants.  So what are they and why are they important for good  health?</p>
<p>I think the easiest analogy is if you think about Oxidation being the  process that creates the breakdown which causes rust, usually on the surface of something, then  Oxidation occurring on the inside of the body causes a breakdown of  body cells,   which then attack healthy cells, DNA,  proteins and fats. This weakens  the immune system and speeds up the aging process as well as being  linked to several diseases such as cataracts, cancer, heart  disease, Alzheimer&#8217;s, Parkinson&#8217;s , diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, to name just a few.</p>
<p>Oxidants,  aka &#8220;free radicals,&#8221; are  introduced to the body by  pollution, stress, alcohol,  sun exposure, unhealthy food, and cigarette smoke.</p>
<p>Antioxidants,  or anti-oxidation agents, reduce the effect of dangerous oxidants by  binding together with these harmful molecules, decreasing their  destructive power. Antioxidants can also help repair already  damaged cells.  Certain antioxidant enzymes are produced  within the body, unfortunately,  todays&#8217;  fast paced lifestyle, pollution and and  poor diet has once again dramatically tipped the natural balance of things.</p>
<p>Other  antioxidant agents are found in dark green leafy vegetables, foods high  in vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene are believed to be  the most beneficial. These can be  found in fruits and vegetables,  those with the strongest colours being healthiest. Orange and red  peppers, tomatoes, spinach and carrots are examples.  You can also  supplement, but supplements are exactly that and should never be used as  an alternative to a healthy, preferably organic, diet!</p>
<p>It all comes down to your &#8216;5 a day&#8217;, which is now being considered for an upgrade to a 7 and even that&#8217;s a minimum!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To tell you the truth it  &#8216;aint what you do, it&#8217;s the way that you do it&#8217;,   It is important to ask your therapist  if they can combine different treatment approaches for different clients, or the same client at different points in their pain cycle or are they just a one trick pony?   Sometimes you need deep therapeutic work and other times very light touch. I know as a client myself that I need something different every treatment I have. (Which is every 2 weeks, by the way!)  More importantly I think,  is to ask,  how often does your Therapist have a treatment?  I am constantly amazed, certainly here in the UK,  when asking that question, that the therapist often admits to &#8216;not as often as they would like&#8217; to &#8216;never&#8217;!  So if they never feel it, how can they have any idea how <strong><em>you</em></strong> feel on that table or how good this stuff is?  Come on, do you ever see a hairdresser with a birds-nest hairdo, beautician with bad skin, or a nail technician with chipped nails?  This is serious stuff, so please leave Massage Therapy to those few serious solely dedicated professionals, who can bring it the professional courtesy it so obviously deserves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>&#8216;Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive&#8217;</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Shortly (post May 1st 2011) it will be perfectly possible for you to obtain a cocktail of <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>DRUGS</strong></em></span> from your GP and over the chemists counter in the UK.   But you will be prevented from taking a branded cocktail of herbs. The former is now known to be an increasing source of hospital admissions and even death. The latter is designed to kill most parasites or to clean your liver with minimal (if any) side-effects.</p>
<p>You will also still be allowed the freedom of choice to purchase cigarettes, known to damage your health and even potentially kill you. But you will not be allowed the freedom of choice to purchase a herb that might alleviate the symptoms of a common cold. This is the daft world of double standards to which the Health Authorities subject us all. Double standards that will actually result in the ruination of our health. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6blyl6z">Dr Chris Woollams Cancer Active</a>.</p>
