Buon Giorno

Here we are already in June; this past month has flown by.  Finally I’m now settled into my new home after much packing, unpacking, moving and sorting.  I didn’t realize how much I’d missed having my own bit of space to potter around and call my own, that this month’s newsletter was put on the backburner.  Although tardy here is some more ‘food ‘ for thought on health beauty tips.

“To be or not to be? WHAT in my tummy? To eat or not to eat?  To ‘cell’ food or not to ‘cell’ food”. These are the questions.  “Yummy, yummy, yummy, I’ve got WHAT in my tummy?” Remember “you ARE what you EAT!” So simply put:-
healthy foods = healthy bodies.
unhealthy foods = unhealthy bodies.
‘Cell’ food is the food we eat.

The cells of our body uses the cell food we eat to do 3 important jobs:-
1)  firstly to provide energy
2)  secondly to make new cells, and
3)  thirdly to repair cells that wear out.
Therefore what we eat becomes the cell structure of our bodies and it is this that determines our physical healthy or unhealthy nature.
“To be healthy or unhealthy?”
Unhealthy foods generate unhealthy and toxic cells; the root of many illnesses.  So which do you choose?

Remember the saying, “fresh is best”.  Why?  Because fresh cell foods are natural and have a delicate balance of nutrients; not too little and not too much.  Fresh fruit and vegetables are the cornerstone of a healthy diet.  The vitamins and minerals help reduce the risks of cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure and more.  A diet rich in fresh natural foods produces more energy and less weight gain.  Think how often you’ve felt sluggish after eating certain foods.  And remember too, we already learned last month that fresh fruit and vegetables help reduce the effects of aging. Do you know that it’s never too late or too soon to begin a new regime, whether it’s your diet or your skin care programme; one for the better.  So what will you do?  Why don’t you tempt those taste buds.

Envision a bowl of delectable, fresh, luscious fruit salad with slices of firm kiwi fruit, mixed with the delicious flavour of firm ripe mango chunks and mouth watering red strawberry halves topped with dollops of creamy yogurt.  Feast your eyes with this beautiful mix of a wondrous colour combination.  Refreshing! tempting! tantalizing! fruits.  Or try a fresh fruit smoothie.  Give this a whirl.

Berry Swirl

1 cup creamy yogurt
2 tabs caster sugar (optional)
1/4 cup ice cubes
1/4 cup iced water
70 gr strawberries or raspberries or other berries

Puree berries in blender until smooth.  Drizzle the berry puree down the sides of 2 tall glasses.
Combine yogurt, sugar, ice and water in blender until smooth.  Pour in yogurt puree and swirl with swizzle stick and enjoy.

Or do you favour freshly squeezed natural juice?  Give yourself an early morning kickstart – sweet carrots, beet and celery for a bit of zing.  Viva!

Did you know that refined sugar ruins our taste buds and once removed from our diet, then the subtle flavours of natural foods bursts forth.  Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are a wonderful source of nutrition.  Great for healthy people and may be life saving for those that are ill.  Fresh juices contain nutrients that are in a form requiring no digestion so they are readily and immediately absorbed and spread into out body tissues.  This is why they can be life saving.  Good health in body, mind and soul is the secret to longevity.
