Nutritional Digest with Lindsey

Food is our biggest fan here. Go Watermelon, cucumber, walnuts, almonds and pumpkin seeds ♥️🙏 we love you for your tremendous nutritious value of providing l-citrulline and l-arginine!! Two amino acids most valuable at preventing protein agglutination and instability in blood vessels and the brain when it comes to amyloid plaques. Who needs supplements when you have what you need on your daily plate!!! 💪 🥳‼️

The goal: in this video is about how one seemingly ordinary amino acid can influence two entirely different biological domains (vascular regulation and protein-folding dynamics) and clarify what is supported in humans, what remains strictly preclinical, and how diet or supplementation can realistically support the pathways where arginine does matter.

My add here: more bioavailable to us is food sources of l-citrulline and l-arginine. 😍🙌

L-arginine is usually treated as a simple nitric-oxide precursor, a molecule with a narrow vascular role. But across multiple lines of research, it keeps app...

A Gift of a Find for Healing with Love 💞

I have always been one to question the narrative, I wasn't aware of it until recently, but it most likely is why I was seen as a difficult child, defying and questioning my superiors. After the loss of my dear sister at a very young age, I immersed myself into a hierarchical and authority driven career in the Armed Forces as a Photographic Technician, a Sapper in the old Army Survey Regiment. I spent this time of my life pretty much doing as I was told, but felt strangely supported. Then before my nurses registration expired I upped and returned to my career of Nursing. It was at a time that I began seeing a great deal of nastiness in the forces, however, life was changing and in all aspects of life there seemed to be bullying and anger in all directions and not just in the forces. It is only now that I realise this, and that - that rebellious child that I was, was my autonomy and what got me through. The way that I was, moved me towards kicking some pretty amazing goals.

So besides all of this, I have to mention that inside me was a fire to succeed, but I was always in the go-go-go position, my body was constantly seeking and never really finding time to rest and recover.

To stop the constant push to be driven I needed a way to connect and alow downtime, rest and recoup, instead of connecting with the fear and rage that we constantly either feel or see everyday (even on the smallest of levels it drags us out of parasympathy and that of healing). The constant online and busy driven world that we all live in. I wanted for healthy, life-giving and productive with regular slots of downtime to recover.

We all deserve safety and being in that downtime of parasympathy which allows the body to heal and recouperate. I have found a space for short spells of meditation and have been finding it exceptionally helpful to me so wanted to share. Useful especially at this time of the year when everyone ramps up for Christmas (the silly season 🤪). A long story short… 😂

I feel a need to share this here with my friends and family! as a free means to connecting yourself back to your body and being in tune for health and healing on a daily basis.

Wishing You All a safe and happy and healthy healing Christmas Season 🥰🎄🎅🥳🙌

Says it all so perfectly 💪

Most people take omega-3s for heart health… but they also change your muscle tissue.

Not just inflammation.
Not just triglycerides.
Actual muscle biology.

This diagram breaks down what happens to omega-3 fats (EPA + DHA) once they enter your system, and why they influence insulin sensitivity, energy use, fat storage, and even protein synthesis.

1. It starts in the gut.

Omega-3s come in through the diet → absorbed in the small intestine → packaged into chylomicrons and VLDLs.

2. They move through the bloodstream.

From here, EPA and DHA end up in HDL particles, plasma, and eventually… the muscle membranes themselves.

3. Once omega-3s enter muscle, everything changes.

They modify the fatty acids sitting in the surface of muscle cells, leading to:

• Better insulin sensitivity
• Better glycogen use
• Less fat stored inside muscle
• Higher metabolic flexibility

This is one of the reasons omega-3 intake improves glucose control, even without changing calories.

4. Omega-3s activate a whole network of enzymes (phospholipases).

These enzymes shift the “internal messaging” inside muscle cells:

Lipase D → boosts long-chain omega-3 phospholipids

Lipase C → influences IP3/DAG signaling tied to protein synthesis

Lipase A2 → drives eicosanoid pathways tied to new sarcomere formation

In simple terms:
Omega-3s don’t just sit in the membrane — they signal the muscle to build, repair, and use energy differently.

5. The end result?

Muscle that’s richer in long-chain omega-3s shows:

• Better insulin response
• Less intramuscular fat
• Less energy wasted on fat synthesis
• Potential improvements in protein synthesis
• Better metabolic function overall

This is why omega-3s keep showing up in studies on athletic recovery, lean mass retention, aging, and metabolic health.

Your muscles aren’t just passive tissue — they’re listening to everything you eat.

And omega-3s speak their language.

Did you know 9 out of 10 people feel overwhelmed by clutter in their homes—as it creeps into their minds?

The mess builds up, the stress heightens, and in that heightened state nothing gets done. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. Discover clarity and peace of mind…

Tackle one space each week…
One item… such as clothing… or shoes.
Empty a closet and get ruthless… remove old linen and keep only what you need.

It worked for me. If you have a task that is too hard. Organise a handyman and get it done. Factor in a task a month and make it happen.

Are you a horder?

Small boxes! Label Contents and if after 6 months or 12 months (date the box) still not used. Send it to a good cause.
Set up shelves in the garage, manage your items this way and revisit the expiry dates.

Kitchen pantry and Fridge- check expiry dates and trash!

Bathroom Cupboards - it’s time to clean them out of old products you know you’ve lost faith in… just bin them and construct your favourites list of products that you know are safe and worth keeping.

Books - do you just 💓 books?
Keepers pile! Donate pile! Arrange them into subjects and then size them.

Tools I find helpful:

💖 Large monthly whiteboard updated (fortnightly)
💖 Post-it Notes and marking pens( don’t get the marking pens and whiteboard markers mixed up 😂😂😂)
💖 Small shoe boxes for drawer items, cables, glasses, keys, emery boards, lip saver, nail clippers! Those everyday go to’s.
💖 First Aid go-to box - collect all your floating kits into one and have a place for your first aid that is handy (never search for a bandaid again!! Or buy yet another box of bandaids)
💖 Labeled baskets/boxes - Trash, Donate, Sell, Keep

Dont - find a place for the keeper items until the whole room or space has been completed.

The trick to completing a task is to not move from that space until everything is sorted.

Tackle in manageable time-slots! If you only have 15 mins, don’t say to self it’s not enough time, you will be amazed at how much can be done in 15 minutes given the right tools.

Do this every day. 🙌 celebrate your space with a before and after.

YOU can do this 🙏☺️🤩🤩🤩

This is a game changer for preparing to go into a new water fast! It cleanses the whole digestive tract of sticky left behind foods and blockages (when done correctly) by following these instructions. As always I suggest you speak to a therapist/coach first and always check with your physician to ensure he is with you on your health journey.

Doing mine on Monday to Thursday, final meal before 6pm of fresh fruit and then I am into my water fast for a good start going into August and international travel to see family 🌸💝🫶🙏

This cleanse is the perfect way to clean out your digestive system.... Here are just a few of the most common changes that most people observe: INSTRUCTIONS: Add 1 Tablespoon* (60kg), levelled, into a glass or bowl. Add sweetener of your choice, e.g. honey or apple juice.....

“Conclusion
A common dietary enhancer, MSG, has a high tendency to induce the development and progression of metabolic disorders such as obesity, cancer, hypertension and diabetes mellitus via various metabolic mechanisms involving induction of oxidative stress, hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia, hyperleptinemia, hyperphagia, GLUT transporters dysfunction and pro-proliferative action. Depending on the dosage, MSG can have both advantageous and detrimental effects, lower doses will enhance energy balance and homeostasis while excessive consumption may result in the initiation of metabolic disorders. Despite the concerns surrounding its safety, MSG is nevertheless still highly consumed globally. We suggest that the use of MSG as flavoring agent should be minimized while further research on the biochemical effects of chronic consumption by humans is highly recommended.”

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is one of the most popular food additives in the world and is often ingested with commercially processed foods. It can be d…

“Every day I see people who are suffering, and who mistakenly believe that their chronic diseases and emotional stress are due to bad genes or an unlucky roll of the dice. It’s very sad, because we now know that many chronic illnesses are preventable.” Professor L. Fontana MD, PhD, FRACP.
