Summer is here 🌞 and everyone is healthy, energetic and happy. Or....

I hear and see many around me coughing and sneezing, which is not so nice when you want to enjoy the lovely weather.

Maybe there is a low grade infection somewhere, eating away your immune capacity. Worth the look? See more about it in my blog:

Zero calorie sweetness, what a lovely thought. That's what we all want, the sweetness of life without any consequences.

Too good to be true? Well, if it so sounds, it most likely is. Take it from someone who has tried many a thing.... the downside of artificial sweeteners is that your brain will treat them as sugar, starting insulin production regardless of not having the calories. Every choice has its consequence.

So check the ingredient in the sweetener you have, you might be surprised. the name sweet'n.... might not be so sweet in every corner.

Aspartame, additive no E951, one of the most common artificial sweeteners in the world, can be found in drinks, candy, and coffee/tea sweeteners. Did you know that it was found by accident when they were trying to create a good pesticide? Still sweet?

Lots of side effects on aspartame, Google search is always a good idea. It is also the main ingredient of most

I continuously go through many scientific studies about intestinal health and health in general and try to write about them in a common sense way, they way that would be useable for everyday life.

Smoothie are so refreshing when the weather gets hot. Many times, however, they are laden with large amounts sweet fruit 😶.

Tastes nice, but defeats the object of being healthy as fruits are full of sugar.

Try with low sugar fruit like berries or tomatoes, nice too. It all depends on your expectations...

Candida fungus is a natural part of our digestive system, helps breaking food down to nutrients which are being transported to enhance our wellbeing.

However, when it starts to take over the system, it produces toxins and these toxins disrupt your brain function, your immune system and your energy conversion.

Many of the symptoms may have several reasons but they are all signs of Candida overgrowth. See if you recognize some of the annoyances and if so, feel free to do the test on my website, link below.

Here are some from the list:
Flatulence (farts)
Stomach intolerances
Diarrhoea
Furry tongue
Troubled skin
Cystitis
Painful sexual in*******se
Impotence
Allergies
Chalk nails
Craving for sweets/bread/alcohol
Forgetfulness
(chronic) tiredness
Inflammations in your body (eg gums, bursa RSI)
Lower back pain

In and of themselves, they may feel like small things you can cope with and you don’t realize how they can govern your whole life. It is such a shame and waste of your time to spend in in coping and not enjoying and thriving! All this joy when you start to crave the good food, not the one you know is not good for you.

I have an easy to follow, simple programme which you can happily follow and get a grip of all this within a few short months.

Supplements, to take or not to take?
😗
This topic can get you into deep waters as it is a big industry: supplements is a billion Euro business yearly and depending on what you read, opinions change greatly. Sometimes it looks like there is no way you can survive till tomorrow if you don’t take any: everybody has something in their cupboard.

And yet, some people are totally against taking them and that the only thing you achieve with them is very expensive toilet trips.

Chia seeds, where did they come from? A few years ago nobody had heard about them, now they are everywhere.

However, these unassuming Mexica seeds have been around forever, they have just been undercover. They hold a lot of moisture, so they have been used as an additive to several foods to keep them moist and bulk them up.

If you use ratio 70g chia seeds and 330g fresh water will give you a good, quite a thick jelly. You can keep that in your fridge for a good few days as it keeps well.

Nutritional value of chia seeds is high and if you take 3 table spoons of this above jelly per day, you have come up to the RDA of Omega 3's for the day.

Now that they are so popular to be used on their own, you can buy them in Health Food stores and many supermarkets keep them in their breakfast isle too.

I would love to hear if you are already using chia seeds and what is your favourite way to do that!

Sensitive throat, ears, bladder, how annoying! You may have had some courses of antibiotics for an infection is these places in your body and that has left them sensitive.
You may have a low level infection in that part, which may manifest in you needing to go to the toilet in the middle of the night.

Low level infections are a real health issue and even though they do not threaten your general health very much, they eat away your immune capacity.
There are several herbal and homeopathic preparations easily available from natural as well as main stream pharmacies.

Are your energy levels compromised? Aches, pains, coughing and sneezing without a reason? Could be due to low grade infections. This means that you are not ill but somehow not vibrant either.

Beautiful Women's Day to everyone!

Avoiding sugar? Replacing it with a sweetner? All the sweetness without the side effects! What could be nicer? Let's see if that is a good idea.

The most common sugar replacement is Aspartame, additive no E951. It can be found in drinks, candy, and coffee/tea sweeteners.
Studies show that those who consumed sweeteners regularly might be at greater risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

It is not surprising as Aspartame started its life as a pesticide. It is a killing machine to little creatures of the world. My philosophical question here would be: Is it possible to kill one form of life and not be harmful to another at the same time? True to the principle of Philosophy, I will not give an answer, I leave it to your pondering. I would love to hear those below though!

Chronic fatigue, recurring infections, skin rashes, headaches, all can be signs of Candida overgrowth in your body. Not a nice thing to have, all or even one of the symptoms. Answer to them might be something that you have not thought about...

In general it is regarded that Candida is primarily a women’s problem but Candida overgrowth is something that everyone can have and once a recurring problem appears, you tend to have it all over your body. Without realizing that there is a connection, there has probably already been sinusitis, bronchitis, headaches, low energy or maybe skin rashes and these are all signs of a possible Candida overgrowth.

BELLY FULL OF GOOD BACTERIA
The more good intestinal bacteria, the stronger our digestion and immune systems are. This makes smaller the chance of Candida strains or pathogenic bacteria or virus to flourish. 💪🏻 Very important to boost your immune system!

This article talks about how some of the particles in our intestines can be harmful, like toxins which irritate the gut, causing diarrhoea and inflammation and bleeding. As long as the strains of bacteria stay in ‘balance’, they counter-check each other, so that none of the strains overgrow and cause problems. http://bit.ly/39BIlav

I mainly nurture my own gut bacteria with sugarfree lifestyle but I also use self-made coconut kefir on a daily basis and good brand of probiotics occasionally. I make the kefir myself, then I know that all bacteria is still live and not nuked dead.

When we eat, we feed the bacteria in our digestive system, and they produce substances both beneficial and harmful; new research supports the idea that these microorganisms in the gut play a role in all sorts of diseases.
