| Fighting Fatigue - By Alexis Costello. |
When the days are dark it can be hard to find the energy to get out of bed, let alone be a productive member of society. Some try to boost their energy levels by using stimulants like sugar and caffeine. While this works in the short term, it sets the body up for a cycle of blood sugar spikes and crashes that can be deadly in the long run... [ Read More...]

| Knowing your Pulse / Heart rate |
Your pulse is your heart rate. It is the number of times your heart beats in one minute. Pulse rates vary from person to person. At rest your pulse rate will be lower and it increases when you exercise. It increases because the heart needs to beat faster to pump through and supply more oxygen-rich blood to the working muscles.
How to take your pulse: [ Read More...] |

The start of a new school year presents new challenges, as well as opportunities. Parents want to give their children all the help they can to make each year a success. Some of the most important decisions that parents make in caring for their children concern their health. Kids are notorious for never-ending supplies of energy. They need the proper foods to keep those energy levels up so that they can run, play, learn, and grow strong, healthy bodies to carry them into adulthood... [ Read More]

| Indoor Air Pollution by Darcy G Provost |
In the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities. Other research indicates that people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Thus, for many people, the risks to health may be greater due to exposure to air pollution indoors than outdoors. [ Read More]

Health & Wellness Tips & Recipes |
| |
| Are you really hungry? |
| Before you reach for the biscuit tin or the second helping - rate you food hunger. On a scale of 1-5 (1= starving, 5= feeling of fullness). Aim to eat before you reach '1' and stop eating at '4'. This is an exercise worthwhile doing. |
| How to Cook Quinoa! |
2 cups water ;
1 cup quinoa. Rinse the grain thoroughly. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let the grain simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. One cup dry quinoa will make three cups of cooked grain. |
| Almond Pudding |
2 cups vanilla almond milk
1/3 cup honey
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tbsp organic butter or Earth Balance margarine
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp lemon zest
½ cup raisins
½ cup shredded coconut
2 cups cooked quinoa
sliced almonds for garnish |
Combine first seven ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
Place quinoa in a greased baking dish, and cover with coconut and raisins.
Pour the liquid mixture over top, and bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until set.
Serve hot or cold.
Tools: Mixing bowls, measuring spoons and cups
Rich, sweet, high protein and delicious! |
| Put Your Heart Into It Crackers |
1 ½ cups oat flour
1/3 cup oats
1 tbsp honey
½ tsp sea salt
1 tbsp baking powder
¼ cup butter, melted
¼ cup hemp milk
2 tbsp hemp hearts (shelled hemp seeds)
3 tbsp brown sesame seeds.
Tools: large bowl, measuring cups and spoons, rolling pin, cookie cutters, cookie sheet. |
Mix all of the ingredients together in the order shown here. Set the oven to 350 degrees. Roll the dough very thinly and use heart-shaped cookie cutters. Really you can use any shape of cookie cutters that you like, but it’s always fun to have some hearts to hand to friends. Place the hearts on an un-greased cookie sheet, and bake for 15-18 minutes.
Hemp seeds and milk have are very high in omega3 and 6 essential fatty acids – the good fats that help your skin and hair look good, your heart work well, and your brain think quickly. They also have lots of protein to feed your muscles.
Tip: These crackers are extra tasty when used to scoop up freshly made Humus Hooray! |
