I ripped this recipe straight from Nourishing Traditions aka “The Real Food Bible”. There’s nothing much more enticing than the warm earthy spices of ginger, cloves and cinnamon to make your tastebuds sing, your toes curl and your immune system even stronger! As you’ve probably already discovered with my soup theme, it’s a great idea [...]
How your Breathing is affecting your Health
by Justine on 26. Mar, 2010 in Detox, Exercise, Pre-Conception, Thoughts
Breathing. It’s the most essential part of life. If you lose a limb – you’ll survive. If you damage your spinal cord – you’ll survive. But if you can’t breathe – you DIE. It’s a fairly simple concept, but aside from pointing out the blatantly obvious, it is amazing how underestimated and neglected the act [...]

by Justine on 25. Mar, 2010 in Detox, Nutrition, Pre-Conception
In establishing or caring for any garden, you need to follow a certain procedure. Some careful planning such as choosing the right plants and environment, good nourishment, and undertaking regular maintenance, will ensure that it thrives.

A Seasonal (and smarter) Approach to Detox- Part One
by Justine on 01. Mar, 2010 in Detox, Education, Exercise, Nutrition, Pre-Conception, Thoughts
Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn! (For those of us in Australia that is!) Despite which part of the world you live, a change of Season marks the perfect time for a Health Tune-up or should I say, Health Tune IN. Whilst “Detox” becomes yet another $Cash Cow in the land of Health and Wellness, we can [...]
Any Muppet can cook!
by Justine on 13. Jan, 2010 in Cooking, Nutrition, Thoughts
After Home Economics in High School, my foray into cooking ventured no further than heating a can of Baked Beans, or making a five minute trip to the local takeaway. The times I did attempt to, were often met with critiscism from family members – needless to say, I stopped trying. Years later, the day I [...]
How to get off the Holiday Merry-Go-Round
by Justine on 03. Dec, 2009 in Exercise, Nutrition, Thoughts
If life were a game of Monopoly, Go Directly To Christmas and Collect a Free Pass to “eat-what-you-like-and-ditch-exercise-for-the-rest-of-the-year”, might be kind of cool. But in reality, why do we consistently muddle our health and fitness priorities, using holidays as a reason to forget them? We humans don’t generally do things by halves. We especially tend [...]
The Definition of Real
by Justine on 05. Nov, 2009 in Nutrition
I have great news for you. You don’t have to deprive yourself of the food you desire. That’s right – you really don’t. For years now, we’ve been confused and intimidated by the the so-called “food experts” into eating low-fat non-foods, obsessing about Calories, and believing traditional foods such as Butter and Red Meat are [...]
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?
by Justine on 11. Oct, 2009 in Thoughts
You’re way behind deadline, and have worked late into the evening- for the 3rd night in a row. It’s now 2am, and despite how hard you try, you can’t get to sleep (and your back still hurts like hell, after your gym session two days ago). Watching TV hasn’t helped you doze off, instead you find yourself wide awake, and [...]
Are you too busy to eat well and exercise?
by Justine on 07. Sep, 2009 in Exercise, Thoughts
If you answered a resounding “yes” to the above question- be honest with yourself- is that statement absolutely true? or is it just another excuse? trust me, I’ve heard them all, and this one tops a long, long list.
