A WEEK OF DETOX STARTS TOMORROW, LETS DO IT TOGETHER,

Detox Do’s and Don’ts

For an instant upgrade in how you feel and look, there are four habits to break and four habits to make. So, let’s start with the hard part.

To give your system a break, you need to avoid:

1. Wheat. All wheat contains gluten and this irritates the gut. So, give your insides a week’s break.

2. Milk. It’s the most common food allergen and most people produce antibodies to it. In other words, it causes your immune system to react. It’s…

Blazing Salads Spelt Bread €3.99, delivered Mondays,Wednesdays and Fridays

Spelt is an ancient cousin of modern wheat, and has many advantages over its more in-bred relative. It is a much hardier grain, and grows well without artificial fertilisers making it a popular choice for organic farmers. It also has a broader nutritional profile than regular wheat as it is much closer to the wild grasses that all cultivated grains started life as.

Unlike modern wheat it has not been selectively bred just to make bread, so it has a lower gluten content, higher amounts of amino acids as well…

Diet helps combat acne

Too many teens and adults with acne have been misled when it comes to acne and their diet. Many dermatologists and doctors still advise their patients that diet has nothing to do with acne.

3.

To separate the cloves from the bulb, place the bulb on a solid surface, place both hands on top and apply pressure. You will hear the crack as they start to separate.
