Gratitude is looking at all the things that you HAVE and truly feeling thankful for them.

Gratitude changes your perspective on life so you no longer dwell on the people doing “better than you”.

You spend less time complaining and more time seeing how well you’re actually doing.

‘Failures’ and ‘mistakes’ are no longer seen as such because you can appreciate how much you learned from those experiences, and how much you have improved your game since then.

Give gratitude a go, and watch it CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

There are four super hero's when it comes to supplements before any other herb, vitamin should be taken.

After analysing your blood results, I, Dr Wayne can easily figure out what your body is lacking in, and what you may need to be supplementing in order to combat those tricky health problems or to simply stay in great health.

These Four Super Heroes will ensure that the supplements you have been prescribed will work to their full potential and that your body will be ready, willing and able to absorb all the goodness contained in them.

⚫️ Magnesium Bisglycinate - Alkalises, plus it’s involved in over 300 enzymatic activities and this is the best form of magnesium to use - not all magnesiums are the same.

Sugar is Rife - It's in Everything

When we think of sugar, what comes to mind might be foods like doughnuts, lollies, soft drinks, and ice cream.

Unfortunately, sugar is not confined to these sweet foods. The majority of processed foods on our supermarket shelves contain sugar, or more specifically high fructose corn syrup.

WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHEN WE ARE EATING SUGAR.

Smooth and nutty, Tahini is blended sesame seeds and it comes with an abundance of health benefits. In Ayurveda it is used to increase strength both in mind and body.

Tahini helps the mitochondria to function at its best.

The Mitochondria is the energy system of your body, therefore if you would like more energy it’s important to help your Mitochondria.

Tahini is also 20% complete protein.

This makes it a richer and more superior source of protein than milk, soya beans, sunflower seeds and most nuts.

It is also said to be one of the best sources of calcium available, and unlike calcium-rich dairy products, it is not mucous forming.

Just one tablespoon of tahini a day will allow you to reap the benefits of this delicious and versatile food source.

Did you know that Coconut Water can mimic human plasma?

Drinking Coconut Water is like giving a person an instant blood transfusion, and was even used as an IV fluid for injured soldiers during WWII! (although doctors are not inclined to use it today)

Coconut water is cleansing, hydrating and nutritious.

It contains many B-complex vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc and manganese.

It is one of the highest sources of electrolytes known which means that when added to our diet, it plays an integral part in hydrating the body and improving circulation.

What is Food Combining?

Food combining is an Ancient Medicine principle that can dramatically improve the quality of the body's digestion and absorption of nutrients, resulting in more nourishment and increased overall health and well-being.

Food combining is a great tool for improving digestion and health but it must be approached slowly and gently.

Some combinations are easy to follow, while others may be a total game changer in the way we prepare and eat our foods.

An increasing number of studies are shedding light on the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar, dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, migraines, epilepsy, stoke, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.

Damage to these important little engines can lead to DNA damage, cell death and premature ageing.

The sugar issue is three-fold.

Firstly, it's in everything, so we often consume it unknowingly.

Secondly, it's addictive, so it's hard to stop even if we know we're consuming it.

Thirdly, the digestive system has only 2 receptors that know what to do with sugar, whereas for bitter foods that heal the body, the digestive system has 18 or more receptors.

Which means we have no idea how to digest sugar.

Therefore, I would like to simplify the process.

Processed foods are laden with poison.

Excessive amounts of sugars, salts, trans fats, preservatives and chemicals like MSG.

They have very little nutritive value and it is a bit of a stretch to actually call them a food.

Some of the other shocking ingredients in our foods include:

- Titanium dioxide, which is commonly used in paints and sunscreens, is also found in many salad dressings, coffee creamers and cake icing.
- One of the key ingredients in many canned and fast food chilli is silicon dioxide, also known as sand.
- Lanolin, an oily substance found in sheep’s wool, is an additive used in chewing gum.
- Cellulose, which is actually ground-up wood pulp, is often used as an anti-caking agent in bagged cheeses.
-Sodium bisulfite, a toilet bowl cleaning chemical, is also used in potato chips.

Sadly it is becoming a bit of a hard task to find alternatives, with the amount of processed foods on our supermarket shelves continuously increasing.

But that doesn’t mean you have to choose them.
