The word vitamin derives in part from ‘vita’ meaning ‘life.  Vitamins are vital for life. Vitamins fall into two categories: Water-soluble & Fat-soluble Water-Soluble Vitamins Water-soluble vitamins include vitamin C, choline and all the B complex vitamins.  They are classed as water-soluble because they dissolve in water before being absorbed into the bloodstream.  They are generally nontoxic because they do not get stored.  Instead, the body absorbs the vitamins it requires and excretes what is not needed as waste product in the urine.  Therefore, water-soluble vitamins need to be replenished every day. Fat-Soluble Vitamins Fat-soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E and K; they dissolve...

Natural Immunity Natural immunity also known as innate immunity or non-specific immunity is a mechanical barrier and the first line of defence against bad bacteria . It involves spontaneous and rapid immune response using molecules that are designed to know whether a dangerous invader is present, rather than long lasting protection. It is the protection provided by the skin, respiratory tract (lungs) and in the gut wall. For example, actions such as coughing and sneezing are the immune system’s way of expelling the virus or bacteria from the nose and throat . Tears clear the eyes of dust and other irritants,...

The amount of sugar consumed, especially by our children is at its highest levels in history.    This can mostly be attributed to the enormous increase in processed food and sugary drinks lining supermarket shelves.  Sugar is included as an ingredient in most pre-packaged, processed and junk food and it’s insidious.  As a result, as our children’s sugar consumption has increased, so have their rates of common childhood illnesses, including obesity with 1 in 4 children now classified as overweight or obese.     If you notice that your child’s temperament changes throughout the day, beginning with their adorable ‘normal’ behaviour which can...

I recently did the class (Building Healthier Kids). Not only was the content fascinating it was been incredibly useful on my journey to healing my son's gut. My son started to develop mild autistic symptoms when he was 18 months old and I'm so excited to say that since following Fiona's tips and recipes. I have already seen an improvement in his behaviour. Fiona has been really helpful answering all the questions I've had too. Could not recommend the class more! Thank you! S.A.
