This recipe is really easy and tastes so good, that I could eat a whole bunch of spinach, kale or Swiss chard in this form all at once. You can buy this as a ready made snack in some health shops or vegan restaurants, however it is expensive. Making it yourself is simple and much more economical. If you grow your own spinach as well, then this is an added bonus. And of course living in Johannesburg, South Africa, we get so much sunshine, that you don’t even need a dehydrator – […] Continue reading →
Headaches are an alarm signal of the body. They are often due to too much physical or psychological stress. Depending on where and how the headache occurs, one can categorise them into tension headaches, simple headaches, combination headaches or migraines. The causes can be varied, eg. infectious diseases, muscular tensions in the head, neck and shoulder areas, over-indulgence of alcohol and nicotine, dilated blood vessels in the brain, food allergies or sensitivities and sensitivity to […] Continue reading →
Everything in the coconut tree can be used in an environmentally friendly, sustainable way, and to top it all off, the fruit is also extremely healthy from the water to the flesh and the oil. See also the upcoming article on ‘oil pulling’ or ‘oil swirling’, for which coconut oil is most effective. […] Continue reading →
Himalayan pink salt. Believe it or not, adding a little bit of unrefined sea salt or Himalayan pink salt to your morning smoothie, sweet potato pie, fruit salad, or other sweet beverage or dish can actually enhance its natural sweetness without the need for sugar. Not only does salt help cover up the bitterness inherent in certain foods, but it also causes the natural sweetness of many foods to become more enhanced, which means less sugar is needed to bring them to the desired taste […] Continue reading →
I came across a similar recipe recently, but it was a rather bland version. So I added a few things, and it turned out into a really delicious, refreshing dish. If you have a power blender, it only takes a few minutes to make. Lovely as a side salad, part of a filling for wraps or pile onto large lettuce leaves or eat as a quick lunch just by itself. It is very nutritious and satisfying. Ingredients: 2 large or 4 small to medium organic carrots, washed and cut into chunks 1 flat teaspoon […] Continue reading →
I found this recipe in a magazine and adapted it into the following healthier & quicker version. I used spelt flour mixed with brown rice, buckwheat and a little soy flour, however you can add all gluten free flours if necessary. The original recipe was baked in a loaf tin, but – as usual – I prefer a baking tray. That way I can cut cake into squares and freeze them. I can defrost the number of individual slices I need, and keep the rest in the freezer for another […] Continue reading →
I have been a therapeutic reflexologist since 1985, in fact I was the first person to pass the exam in the first official South African course on Reflexology, since all other participants had a week off to study at the end of the course, but I was going overseas and wanted to do the exam beforehand. I therefore did my exam the day after the course ended. The course was formulated and run by Jack Rubin in Johannesburg. Jack Rubin has long since retired, but he wrote several books on […] Continue reading →
This is a slightly simplified version of a recipe sent to me by a client, and I also substituted the brown sugar with part coconut blossom sugar and part xylitol. Coconut blossom sugar has a much lower GL than normal sugar, and also contains much more in terms of minerals and vitamins and has less calories than sugar. Therefore it is nutritionally far superior to normal sugar. Xylitol (made from plums or the bark of birch trees) has 40 % less calories than sugar and a very low GL (9 […] Continue reading →
