What I learned about the importance of ATTITUDE for HEALTH & HEALING. A friend of mine has been through a really tough time. His wife died at Christmas and then 3 months later he experienced 2 serious medical conditions – sepsis and a perforated bowel. He ended up in…

What River Rapids taught me about Determination A friend invited me to join her and a few others to canoe down the Whanganui River on a multi-day adventure. I was pretty nervous as I’m more of a land person than a water person, but I’m always up…

Simple Food Changes Can Lead to Big Results. Blood tests showed that I had high cholesterol and my blood pressure was up and down. My cholesterol was high enough that the clinic asked me to go in and discuss treatment options. Now I’m pretty fit and thought I was eating very healthily with lots of vegetables and fruit, so this as a bit of a mystery and a surprise to me....

This is the scariest blog I have ever posted. Recently, I was asked the question, “Would you be happy to get into a van with someone who’s unvaccinated?” My answer was, “Of course I’d be happy to, as long as they don’t have covid. Mind you, I wouldn’t like to get into a van with someone who is vaccinated if they had covid either.”...

Ocean Robbins from The Food Revolution Network says that we need a food economy based on HEALTH instead of the existing one which is largely based on greed.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I healed my skin and other conditions by changing my diet to a predominately plant-centred wholefoods diet. It’s like a miracle - I no longer need to wear gloves when I cut up fruit and vegetables. My hands are moist instead of being super dry. I hardly ever need to apply moisturiser. I love the look and feel of them now instead of being embarrassed and trying to hide them.

I believe that we all have the ability to influence our health by changing our food habits.

In Chile they have STOP SIGNS on the FRONT of packets to help consumers make a more informed choice at point of sale. These include STOP SIGNS for too much sugar, too much fat, too much salt and too many calories, based on the WHO guidelines. Some products have 4 stop signs on them.

Personally, I think ALL processed and fast food need stop signs on them, but at least the system in Chile is a whole lot better than how most countries label their food.

I would like to see a stop sign or traffic light system applied to processed and fast food in New Zealand.

What is one change you could make to introduce more plants into your diet on a daily basis?

Turning off the news to tune into life! When I came back to live in New Zealand about 4 years ago after living abroad for a long time, I hooked straight back into an old habit I had before I left of watching the 6pm news. I usually planned dinner for around that time and was often cooking or eating dinner while watching the news and the current affairs program following it – 1½ hours all up....

I wonder how often we focus on our weaknesses in life and put ourselves down for having them or try to improve them. I think a better way to live is to value our strengths and build on those. What do you think?

"I Deserve It" I asked people in two very large Facebook groups that I belong to what belief they had that kept them hooked into choosing and eating unhealthy foods. By far the most common answer was “I deserve it”. Why do we believe that we deserve to eat unhealthy foods? Where does this come from? I looked at my own childhood to understand how I had developed this belief....

Changing My Relationship with Food. I was discussing what I should use as a lead magnet on my website with my support group the other day. The area I am focussing on is making different food choices in order to improve your body, health and life. One of the women suggested that I could offer some recipes for “substitute” treats and desserts – you know, a healthier option for foods like ice cream....

What I learned about voices in my head when I was sick. Last week I was sick with a cold – you know, runny nose, sore throat, lacking energy. Anyway, I was working at my computer and feeling sorry for myself. I started thinking about what I would have for lunch and dinner. Immediately the voice in my head said, “get chicken and chips.” Now this something that I rarely have as I’m not too keen on deep fried food....
