Clodagh’s Sinless Beetroot Cupcakes.

Made of 70% beetroot they are a fantastic indulgence for anyone on a health kick. Beetroot is an antioxidant and rich with nutrients including magnesium, sodium, potassium, vitamin C and betaine which is important for a healthy cardiovascular system.

Beetroot is also an anti-inflammatory and is used extensively in detoxes because it improves circulation, builds and purifies the blood and benefits the liver and intestines which makes them an amazing ingredient in these super healthy cupcakes.

Clodagh’s Sinless Beetroot Cupcakes taste best straight from the fridge for a “fudgier” texture. Take the edge of…

Kick the Habit – makes changes in small steps

Food cravings and weight gain are the biggest reasons ex-smokers relapse. Your body cleanses and purges impurities after you quit smoking, and your senses of smell and taste return. You may desire more foods because they are more appealing, and your mouth and hands are not toying with the cigarette anymore. These are physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms that eventually disappear, usually within 2 months after you start a quit-smoking programme. Meanwhile, you can fight the food cravings, lose weight and kick the habit for the last time.

Green Juices and Energy Smoothies to get you over the Christmas rush and into your New Year

from top nutritionist Oliver McCabe

INTRO;

At a time when our bodies are likely to be confronted with colds and flu, rundown and exhausted, green smoothies and juices provide incredibly effective protection. Overall, green smoothies are alkalising, cleansing, energising, healing and highly nutritious because the ingredients are largely raw and still contain a lot of their life force (the nutrients present at the time of picking).

but what is the “green” in a green smoothie/juice? Basically, a green is…

December and The Attitude of Gratitude

10 December 2012 @ 2:55 pm |
Filed under: Events & News, Select Stores News

It is so easy to get caught up in the craziness of the ‘Silly Season’.

The month of December can be a busy time when we find ourselves overindulging, overspending and generally over extending ourselves – leaving us feeling frazzled… just in time for the new year to start.

I would, for a change, like to start the New Year feeling refreshed.

One way of doing this is to be grateful.

Being grateful for what I have achieved in the past year, grateful for the wonderful people around me, and grateful for what I have rather than always wanting…

School Lunches that pack a punch… by nutritionist Oliver McCabe (Select Stores Dalkey)
It may come as little surprise to learn that according to recent research in Ireland that the most popular items in a lunchbox are a sliced white bread sandwich with a filling of ham, cheese or chicken; crisps, a chocolate bar or biscuit; and a yoghurt or cheese snack. While, there’s nothing wrong with any of these foods on an occasional basis, if a child eats them every day, they will not get the range of nutrients they need for good health and energy. As…
