Kate Troup Naturopath Last week I met Kate Troup, a lovely Naturopath who works out of the Mr Vitamins shop at Chatswood. Kate and I are creating on a low sugar food bar recipe for her to help people lose weight. We had a lot to agree on. We are both appalled by what euphemistically passes for food that is on the supermarket shelves. I had to laugh when she says she looks in people’s trolleys and she is tempted to pick things out and tell them the destructive nature of what is in them - I am the same! http://www.bondibeachdiet.com |

A great video on health and aging Only three false datums of which to beware; scientists say we can only live to 100 and both what he calls myths are not backed up by any data I have seen and his whole presentation is a complete contradiction of them! :-) Strange to say the least. Nevertheless some great data. http://edition.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/01/26/buettner.long.life/?hpt=C2 |
