The Bolivia Edit

Brings you THE prettiest coffee we’ve ever seen.

Coffee, coconut milk, spirulina. Tasted amazing too.

Panpino Cafe, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, you delivered!


Nola Desserts – you ‘knocked it out of the park’ with your no sugar, no gluten, no lactose, low carb delights.

Absolutely delicious.


Busy eating and drinking ‘the rainbow’ here in South America: Pineapple juice, watermelon juice, ‘that’ coffee and ginger and turmeric juice.


Savoury options are excellent too: Avocado (a MASSIVE avocado) on sourdough (baked on the premises), rocket, sun-dried tomato and pea sprouts.


Things are changing here; Two years ago I couldn’t find plant-based milk, today this is available in the supermarkets.


‘When in S America….’ Yep, this is exactly what it looks like: Coca leaves.

We’ll leave it to this article from Sydney University to explain all…


£51.92 for a tin of Quality Street seems way more ‘criminal’.

Yep 449 Bolivianos is over 50 pounds for a tin of imported English chocs.

Wow.


Back to ‘business’:

‘Specific treatments for specific patients’ is the way forward according to Dr Makaroff, the Chief Executive of Fight Bladder Cancer. Dr Makaroff was speaking at the European Association of Urology Congress in Paris recently. ‘In a presentation led by Robert Greene on nutrition in cancer care, the focus was on including foods such as grains, pulses, and vegetables in patients’ diets’.

Good to see. Change is coming.


Chris Lewis, outspoken COO of SimPal in the House of Commons (and it wasn’t his first time speaking there!)

‘Digital poverty’. There’s a new term. Chris has founded a charity which aims to provide support for those that find themselves without a mobile data connection. Simpal believe that everybody in the UK must be able to have a connection to the Internet and give free phones and data where they can, to anyone affected by cancer.
‘It is truly vital for us all, to be able to connect with our loved ones, and any support services required. As inequality increases rapidly, many of society’s most vulnerable people are being left behind.’ Chris’s popular blog can be found here.

800 calorie a day diet for diabetics to lose 2 stone in weeks

Worrying article in this week’s The Times UK newspaper: ‘Patients will be given low-calorie meal replacement products such as soups, milkshakes and snack bars for three months, triggering rapid weight loss’.  What could possibly go wrong with the NHS’s new scheme for diabetics? A LOT. Crash diets traditionally result in the weight – and more – going straight back on when the diet stops, as it often does as it’s unsupportable in the long term. Our nutrition resource shares professionals who are adept at long-term changes.
