A healthy snack

In case anyone wondered, this is what I am using my Cath Kidston food tray for:

(No, I'm not 3 years old, but this was just too cute to resist :D)

I love a little dose of vitamins at the end of each night (or in the mornings). Today I went for orange, kiwi, grapes, 2 brasil nuts and raisins. Lots of vitamin B, C, E, fibre, calcium, iron, protein, potassium and zinc. YUM!

Health, nutrition and immunity boosters.

I'm kind of obsessed with everything to do with nutrition and how to naturally boost my body's health through what I eat. I just find it fascinating to know exactly which vitamins and minerals enter my body through certain foods!

If I could go back in time I would have chosen nutrition studies at uni (and not Eng. Lit!) because I would have loved to work in this particular field.

Anyway, I've spent today re-reading my books for some inspiration...

Inspiring to read :)

At the moment I am trying my hardest to cut out refined sugar from my diet; it has seriously scared me to read about the side-effects of sugar (cancer, depression, osteoporosis, premature aging and suppressed immune system to name a few...)

Sugar = baaaaaaaaaad!

Fruit and veg = goooooooood!

Anybody else interested in nutrition?

I'm always looking for good health/nutrition books,

so if you can recommend one I will surely check it out ;)

The Kind Diet

As I'm sure many of you know, Alicia Silverstone is a well known animal rights activist and vegetarian.

Well, she has recently come out with a book explaining why she lives the way she does and how.

The book is called The Kind Diet.

I got it yesterday and I spent the afternoon reading it, all of it.

It is incredibly informative, inspirational & fun! She really speaks to the reader, sharing her own personal experiences and advice.

Stating that going vegan is the best thing she has ever done for her body, skin, soul & even the planet, Alicia makes it all sound like such a no brainer.

Wouldn't hurt to try, right? Alicia promises a new healthy glow in 2 weeks, so we'll see :)

If you are at all interested in becoming a vegan or just curious about how Alicia (and other gorgeous celebrities) look so healthy & gorgeous, I suggest you check out this book!
