Vegetable of the month - Jerusalem Artichokes
This wonderful, nutty flavoured tuber can be boiled, mashed, steamed, baked or fried! It is a versatile vegetable giving you an abundance of energy thanks to its slow releasing storage of inulin (not sugar). This vegetable is ideal for anyone trying to lose weight or suffering from diabetes and insulin resistance.
Actually, it is the soluble fibre of the inulin that makes this plant a good source of ‘prebiotics’ which feeds our ‘good gut bacteria’, aids detoxification of toxins and helps lower cholesterol! . However, it is this same composition that also makes this vegetable notorious for inducing wind! Therefore, I would suggest starting with small quantities and building up!

Seasonal sniffling, sneezing and sore throats?
It’s that time of year again where colds are going around and spreading like a viral infection. Well, that is because it is a viral infection! The virus triggers the immune system, which then activates the mucus layer in the eyes, nose and throat causing us to feel all bunged up and ‘snotty’!

Chilli peppers can spice up your love life and much, much more!
We, as a nation, love ‘foreign’ foods. This is possibly because of their exotic aromas and the fantastic array of spices used to enhance their flavours.
There are over 200 herbs and spices on this planet but on average, we only use about 5 of them in the UK!
Herbs and spices are Mother Nature’s medicine cabinet. In fact, when I worked in the jungles of Belize, the local people used the herbs from the rain forest for their every day needs such as for snakebites, fever, antiseptics, contraceptives, headaches etc – it was fascinating to see first hand how they relied on their surroundings to survive and used their knowledge of the medicinal powers available.

DETOX TO FEEL NATURALLY HIGH
Are you one of the many who are detoxing this January?
Well, here’s some food for thought! Did you know the average person uses about 10 products a day?
This means that everyday on average we absorb about 126 different chemicals through our skin. How? Lead is often used in red lipstick, aluminum in deodorants and flame retardants on our furniture. Then we drink the BPAs that seeps into our coffees from the plastic cups and eat the pesticide residue that is on our unwashed fruit and veg. This is in addition to all the shampoos, toothpastes, moisturizers, hair dyes etc which that all contain chemicals.
So what does this mean to our bodies?

Today, I love Brussels sprouts. So now, it’s become my aim to help the rest of the Nation fall in love with them too!
Below is a very simple, quick recipe for you to try, not just for Christmas day but throughout the whole winter.
Before I share it with you, I just want to give you just a little taster on how beneficial they really are to your health.
