Q. My lifestyle is so demanding. I always feel tired, anxious and wound up, especially just before my period. What can I do to feel better?
A. As women, we juggle so many diverse roles, so much is expected of us and because of this we are exposed to high levels of stress. Our adrenal glands pump adrenalin all the time and this can eventually lead to adrenal gland exhaustion. We need to have a few guidelines in place.
- Exercise regularly
- Drink 8 glasses of water daily
- Eat plenty of live raw foods and a variety of good quality protein
- Include the good fats (omega 3,6 and 9). These healthy oils are found in green leafy vegetables and flax seeds as well as the oily fish such as tuna, mackerel, salmon, herring, pilchard and trout.

Q. My child has erratic behaviour, hyperactivity and mood changes. What can I do to change this?
A. Refined sugar creates imbalances in energy. It is found in sweets, chocolates, cakes, biscuits, many breakfast cereals, soft drinks and many other foods. Also check for additives, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, preservatives and artificial flavorings. Instead, opt for natural sugar free alternatives such as Ceres Fruit juice or any other pure fruit juices, preservative free dried fruit and raw honey.
Q. My children do not like to eat vegetables. Should I be concerned about this?
A. Yes, for sure. As parents, we need to make sure that their diet is rich in fresh fruit and vegetables. These provide vitamins and minerals essential for building a strong, healthy immune system. Take your child with to the green grocer and let them choose the foods that they enjoy. Tempt them with bite size snacks of cherry tomatoes, fresh berries, almond, raisins and grapes.

Q. My child has difficulty concentrating in class. What can I do to help her?
A. Two vital nutrients needed for proper brain function are glucose and essential fatty acids.
Up to 60 % of the human brain is made up of fat. Glucose in the forms of fresh fruits and vegetables and essential fats in the form of oily fish i.e. salmon, mackerel, tuna, herring, sardines and trout. Ground flaxseeds are also very beneficial in their porridge, soups or over their salads.
It is vitally important for the brain and nervous system to get a good supply of these special essential fats called omega 3, 6 and 9.
