GINGER Ginger’s therapeutic properties have been appreciated for some 5,000 years, but the spice is still one of nature’s most resilient and potent botanicals. A study done in 2010 shows that ginger can reduce muscle-associated pain from exercise by 25 percent. Perhaps, the tropical plant is best known as a treatment for nausea and digestive pain. Not everything good for you tastes good, but one of ginger’s primary attributes is its great flavor, in beverages or on food.

You’ll recognize turmeric as the yellow spice commonly found in

difference in your diet. It’s been studied as a treatment for a wide variety of diseases including arthritis, cancer and even diabetes. Turmeric has strong anti-oxidant properties - meaning it has an anti-inflammatory effect by neutralizing harmful body wastes called free radicals

which research shows can start reducing inflammation in just six weeks.


The BAD Guys 1. Fried Foods: Have been in the gun sights of researchers for some time. In addition to a high-calorie count, dishes like fried meats, processed foods and frozen foods can increase inflammation and with possible damage to the immune system. A good antidote—replace processed with the real thing, like fruits and vegetables. 2. AGE: If you want to think about living to a ripe old age, you might consider cutting back on AGE. That’s the abbreviation for advanced glycation end product. It’s a toxin occurring in foods that are heated, grilled, fried or even pasteurized. These chemicals can damage the body, which in turn, unleashes an inflammatory substance, known as a cytokine, to neutralize the substance. Foods cooked at lower temperatures could be a healthy protective measure. 3. Sweeteners: If you’re using too many sweeteners, you could have a bitter pain experience. Sugar based products have been linked to muscle cramps, abdominal pain and digestive issues. Avoiding or cutting down on sweeteners is a good idea but requires some diligence since so many foods now contain corn syrup. Precaution: read labels carefully. What you don’t know can hurt you. 4. Salt: It’s is one thing to have a pinch of salt, something else to overdue it in your diet. Too much salt can equal inflammation of the joints and that can equate to pain. Salt has long been suspected as a cause of high blood pressure as well as heart and liver problems. Some foods are saltier than others. Look out for processed items, particularly those that are destined for the microwave. 5.

Alcohol: Beyond its intoxicating powers, alcohol can trigger a lot of misery particularly in the joints where it can cause painful deposits to accumulate - an inflammatory response called gout. Again, let moderation be your guide.

So there we have the good, the bad and even the painful ingredients that can either make your diet a source of good health or drag down your lifestyle and sense of well being. Quoting Hippocrates, the founder of modern medicine, “Let food be thy medicine, thy medicine shall be thy food.”

Planning on starting a family? Both of you should have at least four months of healthy living before you try and conceive. Both take a good quality fertility supplement to help optimise your health and vitality, even if you have no concerns about your fertility. Act as if you are pregnant now and nurture yourselves (mind, body and soul) as if you are already protecting your unborn baby. Eat healthy, freshly prepared organic food or home grown produce (free from pesticides of course). Exercise moderately and limit your alcohol and caffeine intake. De-stress AND remove toxic products from your home, including cleaning products, personal care and beauty products too.

Work-out your stress 30 minutes of daily exercise can do wonders

They say marriages are made in heaven and celebrated on earth. Some like an epic grandeur and some want it to be a small private family event, but whichever route you take, it marks the most important chapter in your life. Planning for a wedding isn't a cake walk and stress of making it the most perfect event of your life can leave you exhausted. From never ending guest list to managing tight budgets, from finding the best vendors in town to the last minute shopping. However, one thing that always tops the list is your perfect wedding look and don't let that wedding stress ruin your wedding pictures. Here are some valuable ideas that can help you maintain your pristine look.

for your health and what can be better than Yoga to keep all the stress at bay. Yoga is good for mind stimulation, body rejuvenation and muscle relaxation, that will keep you energetic to run all your wedding errands ouch free.

3 Spice up your morning drink Who doesn't want better digestion especially when you have a wedding party to attend. Consider swapping your morning cup of caffeine with a glass of hot water mixed with lemon and half a spoon of honey. It will keep you hydrated and help you loose a few inches. Ah, that will be a proud feeling to easily slip in your wedding dress without holding your breath.

.For

the love of radiating skin

There is no better make-up than a beautiful glowing skin. Drink plenty of water and fresh fruit juices. Stop snacking on fried food and replace it with food rich in Omega-3 fatty acids like salmon, walnuts for clear complexion. Last but not the least take 8 hours of beauty sleep for the natural glow and you will never be a camera shy.

Pamper yourself All the hard work that went in planning and preparing for your wedding deserves a highfive and reward. Treat yourself to a spa treatment, head or foot massage with your BFFs, that will take your mind off your to-do list.

6 And remember to SMILE! A good laugh and love are the two best medicines for happy life and in case if it doesn’t work just increase the dose!

How a

dog can keep your

child fit & healthy!

We all know the popular saying that dogs are mans best friend BUT did you know they could also be your kids best friend too? Pets are known to be good for increasing and improving social and relationship issues in certain people. They are also great companions for the elderly and infirm, as well as having “Jobs� such as Guide dogs, hearing dogs etc. But did you know they could help children who are overweight or obese?

Researchers have investigated how effective pet therapy is in promoting increased levels of physical activity in overweight children. A group of overweight children aged between 8 and 12 were included in a study as part of an outpatient obesity program. Half the children had interactions with a dog while the other half had the same amount of time spent with a friendly adult, who encouraged and supported the children to try to get them to take more physical activity.

The children who spent time with the dog experienced more physical activity than the children who didn’t. There was less sitting time and more walking. The dog acted as a good motivator for them to get active, and acting as a boost they needed to get healthy. This may seem a logical conclusion but if more children had dogs as pets it may encourage more activity at home and also help with learning responsibility too, as they would have to walk the dog and also look after it, with encouragement from their parents, rather than the parents doing the walking and feeding themselves! Plus a dog gives a child unconditional love and is always there for them.

One day in class, Little Spirit was asked to stand up in front of the class to recount what the teacher had taught the day before. Tentatively he stood up and started to recite what he learned when the teacher suddenly interrupted him with an emphatic,

Taken aback, Little Spirit stopped and then restarted. For a second time the teacher boomed, Completely flustered and somewhat embarrassed, Little Spirit sat down, his face lit red with shame. The next child rose to recite and had also just begun when the teacher shouted, The little girl, however, ignored the teacher’s interruption and kept on with her recitation until she completed it. As she sat down, the teacher replied, “Very good!” Little Spirit was annoyed, ”But you didn’t let me finish. You stopped me twice” he protested. “Ah, Little Spirit!” replied the teacher, in a gentle voice, “It is not enough to know what we have done in class. You have to be sure. When I interrupted you, you could have ignored me and continued, just as your friend did. However, you allowed me to stop you and that means you it is your business to say ‘Yes!’ and be certain and confiare uncertain. If the world says, dent about it.

July 2014, the New Moon takes

place within the tropical sign of Leo, or Fixed Fire. If you can locate where Leo falls in your chart, it will shows you in which arena of your life wherein you are actively developing an inner conviction and where you need to trust your inner voice.

Being in touch with your inner spark of divinity, your Leonine side, not only stokes the flames of your inner faith, it also enlivens your creative impulse. During this New Moon, you have the opportunity to plant a seed of fire for your creativity and vision, so hold a space, from the 22nd July, around what inspires you; what things give you purpose; or what forms of creativity you are passionate about, so that you can re-ignite your inner fire.

Impact

of

A discussion on bullying from the Bratton Household, includes Emma, Hannah (aged 11) and their mum Jayne and the crystals to use. Beginning with Emma

Bullying is mean and selfish. It makes people being bullied feel upset and sad because others are being mean to them. People bully people because they are jealous or unkind. Being bullied makes me feel very very upset. Sometimes my sister Hannah who is 11, forgets she is a lot bigger than me and she likes to take control.

Sometimes my friends say things which aren’t kind, I know they care about me but it still makes me sad. When I am sad or someone is being mean to me I come home and cuddle my giant teddy unicorn.

Rose Quartz is the crystal of love, both of yourself and of others and I have my rose quartz dog on my bedside table. I give rose quartz to people I care about when they are feeling sad as I want everyone to feel happy.

Hannah: “I try to take control because I am jealous of the fact that Emma is more successful and more liked by people. She is also really clever and can even spell better than me even though I am 4 years older. I don’t mean to make her sad as I really love her. I am very badly bullied at school but these people who bully me don’t love me or like me and they want to cause me harm, they don’t care about me. When people tease me it makes me very sad. Sometimes I get angry with my family who love me as I don’t know how to handle the ‘harmful

Healthy, Raw Kids Fruit Snacks Kids can do this fun recipe completely on their own, you simply prepare the ingredients and leave them to it!

Huge strawberries! Organic Soya Yogurt /Fat Free Greek Yogurt/ whatever you fancy that’s yogurty Desiccated coconut Core the strawberries (but leave whole), open yogurt pot and pour the coconut into a bowl. Then kids skewer a strawberry onto a kebab stick, cocktail stick, or fork (we use a fondue fork) and then dip in the yogurt and then roll in the coconut. Alternatively you can do the dipping and then get younger kids to sing Incy Wincy Spider and sprinkle coconut onto the yogurt while you hold it. For a really refreshing snack you can pop these in the freezer for about 15 mins to be really cold and then eat them with your fingers or leave on the fork. These can keep in the fridge for a good few hours if necessary. We sometimes use other cupboard ingredients to cover the yogurt (which can be any flavour), for example cocoa powder, sesame seeds or crushed up nuts.

life and how precious that life is. The Project is also working towards legislation that will mean more animals will have the opportunity to be re-homed after their ‘working’ life, currently most animals used for experimentation are euthanized as their behaviour or medical needs may be unpredictable.

The Project is also working with Unite To Care in the UK to promote similar legislation to allow more animals to find new homes after their use in laboratories. This will always be a matter for very heated discussion, but the evidence against the usefulness of animal testing is becoming more compelling – and the global desire to prevent the suffering of animals is no longer on primates and guinea pigs in particular has increased - mainly in genetic testing. Even those who feel that animal testing is still a necessary evil are likely to be surprised by the number of animals involved, and the type of tests that are taking place. Some of the images and reports available from reliable sources are hard to watch and raise serious questions about how we value life.

The images from the Beagle Freedom Project prove that despite the horrific conditions the dogs had been kept in for their entire life – they were still able to very quickly adapt to the joy of walking on the grass and instinctively played with other dogs and were even able to see humans in a positive light. This behaviour shows very powerfully how amazing these animals are in their zest for

an ‘extremist’ view, but one of the masses. Perhaps if the same funding was made available to research the alternative methods, and equal support was given to these advances the use of animals in scientific research would dramatically reduce.

The clear joy that the rescued Beagles experienced demonstrates the depth of their meaningful experiences and makes it impossible to argue that experimentation on them can be justified for a better detergent. It is also important to remember that there are both scientific and moral arguments, and that the moral one should not be lost in statistics.

My second exercise is always one that people find difficult but is one of the most powerful in helping you to learn how to love yourself and you will find this in the box on the left. Go on give it a try and see how good it makes your feel. I know you may feel silly doing this but this is key to help start conditioning ourselves that we are good people, worthy of time, attention and kindness. Give yourself sincere compliments and remember the more you can give love to yourself the more you can give it to other people!

The third exercise is one that you should be constantly trying to do. You will have already started to produce a list through exercise 1 of all the things you love about yourself so now keep adding to it constantly. The exercises so far have

focused very much on the inside. My final exercise focuses on the outside i.e. your appearance. The focus is on recognising parts of yourself that you think are good features and thinking of ways you can start to love features you don't necessarily like at the moment. For example: "I don't like my hands - they are so rough and manly and my nails are ugly." Begin by thinking about how you could love this part of your body. One way is to think of what this body part gives you, so with hands some examples could be: "My hands have given me the sensation of touch so I can feel many things such as the feeling of my baby's first touch. Or my hands make me able to do things such as hold my lover's hand, play a musical instrument, cook a meal." Alternatively, you can start to cherish this body part by giving time to improve it. For example, taking time to gently and lovingly moisturise your hands, while taking time to caress them and thank them for all the things you have been able to experience because of your hands. With the help of a little TLC your hands should appear improved from your perspective.

So for my final exercise write down a feature that you dislike about yourself and then write down how you can start to love it instead. Only try one thing at a time as you will have a greater chance of success with a single focus rather than trying to improve too many things at the same time. By completing these simple exercises you should now be starting to learn to love yourself. We should not

Cruises are known for Norovirus outbreaks, however, the chances of being on a cruise when there is an outbreak is slim. The best times to sail to avoid it is actually in summer where there are less reported cases. Since Norovirus is typically caused by tainted food or water sources, avoid the buffet and drinking fountains if an outbreak does occur.

Organic Small Space Gardening

I hope all our friends, where ever you are, are well and enjoying the gardening experience, and welcome to all new readers.

If everything is going to plan in your balcony garden, you should have by now been picking lettuce leaves, radish and spring onions. And your beans should be racing up the canes and beginning to flower, as they do give the flowers a light spray with water. I find this is best done in the evening when the heat of the sun has begun to cool. Also as the young beans begin to shoot, give them a drink of week nettle tea (recipe in April Magazine).

My first sowing of lettuce are still producing and I take at least two sometimes three leaves per plant a day. Some

of them are beginning to “bolt� a term use when the plant wants to produce seed but don’t worry, carry on taking leaves and follow the growth up the stem. The leaves will become smaller, but they are just as nutritious. When the top of the plant is showing signs of little green round seed pods, its time to take plant out and replace them with new ones. Strip the remainder of the leaves and put them in a container or plastic bag in the fridge.

To use the succession sowing method purchase 75mm deep seed trays and plant three lines of seed, staggering the sowing time in each tray. You can use these seedlings for to replace the lettuce you have removed from your balcony bed. You should also plant radish

PAGE 53


and spring onion as you use them, using this method should give you a continual supply. I grow spring onions in 75mm trays, planting them up every four weeks or so and this yields quite a good harvest although there are two things to remember: keep them watered, not soaking but damp and when removing those large enough to eat, support the soil round the base of the onion you are removing by putting the backs of your fingers on the earth each side of the bulb, allowing you to pull the root out without disturbing the soil round the ones either side.

A little trick I use to bring my plants on early and get my runners cropping earlier than normal, assuming you’re using the balcony growing method although it can be adapted to suit your needs. I make a lean to cloche using two 2.4m x 2.0m sheets of polythene, three 1m long canes, some polythene tape and some string or tying wire. This can be rolled up during the day when the weather is nice but rolled down when there is a threat of frost. I use this method against a 1.8m high south facing fence that has a same growing area the same size as the balcony method. The only difference is, I only need the front part of the cloche. Using the tape, fix one sheet of polythene to the outside of your bean cane structure (before you fix it to the railings at the end of your balcony), this part of the cloche will remain in place the whole season and stop any excess water from cascading over the

PAGE 54


side of the balcony and possibly drenching your neighbour below. Next take the other sheet of polythene and fix one of the metre canes in the centre of the 2 metre edges. (I find it is best to roll it round the cane a couple of times, before sticking the edge down), this is then fixed to the top of your bean support frame with a couple of wire ties. Allow the polythene to unravel itself down the front of your bean structure. Take another cane and centralise it using the same method and fix it to the bottom of the polythene structure. You should have a 50cm flap either side. Cut the third 1m long cane in half, and fix one piece to the flaps at the bottom of the structure either side of the 1m cane. These two side piece’s will allow you to tuck the sides back to form a cloche and fold them onto the one metre cane at the bottom when you need to roll it up out of the way. Place a couple of wire ties at a convenient height to attach the rolled up polythene.

Remember safety first when working above railing height, no standing on chairs or reaching over beyond the perimeters of the balcony railings. When all fear of frost has subsided, simply remove the front part of the cloche and stand the rolled up polythene at the side of your bean frame for storage. The cloche can also be replaced and rolled down to protect lettuce and stuff from early frost in autumn. Oh remember to securely fix the cloche when there is a threat of high winds.

Stay safe and happy gardening
