I still do.
This clip is 6 years old – nothing’s changed. It’s an emotional watch. We are ALL connected on this planet – that is why we had to have a sustainability section on our site. We must stop the pollution, we must stop eradicating wildlife. We must do better.
The 2022 Wildlife Conservation Film Festival is taking place until 20 December. You can click here for 42 free trailers of the films up for awards this year.
The WCFF is the first organisation of its kind to present the issue in a powerful visual forum, showing how wildlife preservation impacts our day-to-day lives. And it does.
Connected.
Blue poo. That’s how Dr Tim Spector’s team analysed gut transit times. Get participants to eat cupcakes with blue food dye and analyse the length of time the dye takes to work its way through their systems.
Simple! Often the best ideas are.
This book’s about a lot more than blue poo though. It’s a fascinating read; split into 3 sections, in the first it asks big questions ‘Why do we love food?’ ‘What foods are unhealthy?’ ‘What is the future of food?’.
The second section looks at individual foods eg fruits, vegetables, rice, pasta, bread and discusses their role in our diets.
The third part gets techy with food tables explaining the ‘why’.
Thank you for the recommendation Maria!
Dr Li’s been on our site since day 1. He treats food as medicine and knows it can also prevent disease in the first place. What foods should we add? What should we cut out? Here’s a 3 minute clip introducing us to his work. Eat to Beat – diabetes, heart disease, obesity, auto immune disorders, dementia and even cancer.
Spotted this resource on an online cancer forum this week and promptly re-added it to our extensive cancer resource.
Eattobeat.org is a non-profit, focusing on what to eat/what not to eat to avoid/heal from cancer. So glad to find it again!
Never too late for a birthday gift! And this was a great one, from the lady who introduced me to Deliciously Ella 5 years ago. Ella and I have learned so much since then. As she says, she thinks this is her best book yet, I agree.
Not only does it have lots of tasty recipes, but there is a solid introduction to plant-based eating and she’s enlisted the help of several health professionals to explain the why and how.
This is ‘Paula’s lentil pie’ that was last night’s supper and today’s lunch (with broccoli added as a side).
Please ignore the pork chops on the plate – we haven’t all adopted a plant-based diet here, so this is how we roll.
This popped up on our Facebook feed this week.
Just because it is deemed safe, doesn’t mean it’s good for us.
Just sayin’.
Need to explore a bit more on this one.
S A Ledlie’s memoir is on sale for a few days. You can pick it up at 99p/99c on Kindle UK/US.
It’s the story of her breast cancer experience and how she battled against the giants of the pharmaceutical world.
She fought to raise awareness about one of the most distressing, life-changing disfigurements a woman could suffer from: permanent hair loss. She’s still fighting: her latest book A Hair’s Whisper was released in September.
She’s an amazing example of an oft-quoted mantra of Glennon Doyle: ‘we can do hard things.’ From being told she was a rare exception, she found her tribe: 1000’s of women around the world. She was far from alone.
‘This quote is from Diego Perez a poet and philosopher behind the pen name Yung Pueblo. The name Yung Pueblo means ‘young people’ and it serves to remind him of his Ecuadorian roots, his experiences in activism and that the collective of humanity is in the midst of important growth’ Wikipedia
I saw it this week and it sums up how I feel about the Mel Robbins podcast that has been playing whilst I’ve been clearing closets the past few days. It’s currently the no1 health podcast in the world (!) and is, of course, featured on our site.
We can report that the fluffy pancakes from Healthy Living James are still delicious when defrosted (because we made too many). In case you were wondering.
A massive ‘Million Veteran Program’ study’s results have just been released, showing that ‘A greater adherence to a plant-based diet is associated with substantially lower risk of cardiovascular disease and total mortality in this large population of Veterans.’
BIG numbers, showing beneficial effects on the hearts of plant-eaters.
