The days are brighter and longer, everything is starting to come out of hibernation and grow (including us). When it comes to food, I’m a great believer in eating with the seasons, nature provides what we need when we need it. So what is in season in April? Produce:
'3 doses of nettles in the month of April will prevent any disease for the rest of the year' taken from the National Folklore Collection, Dublin This is the time of year for cleansing and detoxification so here are a few ideas, using what is in season:
The options are endless and all so tasty. A spring detox doesn’t have to be a fast, simply eating fresh produce in season will help your body shake off the hibernation feeling.

The storm ⛈ We often think of the storm as destructive, like in The Wizard Of Oz it destroys the house, leaves destruction in its path. We make the decision to stay home and batten down the hatches when we hear a weather warning. We think of the storm as scary, unpredictable and loud. But the storm can be beautiful, a gorgeous light show. I remember years ago when I was traveling through Thailand, sitting on a rickety old deck, on a rickety old chair, sitting with my friends enjoying the amazing light show lighting the sky up in the most amazing colours of an amazing lighting storm. I had never seen anything like it. The sky was amazing shades of pinks and purples with striking forks of lighting out to sea. The next day was gorgeous, sunny, calm seas and a fresh breeze we really needed. Sometimes we need to look at the storm as a way of clearing the path for something different, clearing out the cobwebs. We are all going through our own storms at the moment, I don’t know anyone who isn’t. I’ve seen many social media posts about being in the same boat, or being in the same storm in different boats, but no-one is looking at the storm, we are all looking at the boat. Whatever your storm, be it Coronavirus, the Lockdowns, cancer, a bad marriage, a falling out , your job sucking the life out of you. The storm ends, a new day starts but it’s up to you how you ride the storm and what you rebuild after the storm. I hope it’s something beautiful that brings you joy.

Once payment is made your Nutrition consultant will email you to arrange your 1-1 consultation to start off your program Wheatgrass is a superfood, packed with essential nutrients. When juiced from fresh wheatgrass it is a live food, you can also add dried wheatgrass powder to your juices, smoothies or water. So here are my top 15 reasons to use wheatgrass: · A superfood – it contains: 17 amino acids, calcium, chlorophyll, enzymes, iron, magnesium, phytonutrients, proteins, vitamins A, C, E, K & B complex · It’s antibacterial · It’s an antioxidant · It’s anti-inflammatory · Aids detoxification and helps support a healthy liver function · Increases energy · Aids digestion- by detoxifying the digestive tract, helping to bind to toxins and remove them from the gut · Boost metabolism and reduce cravings · Can Lower cholesterol · Boost immunity- high nutritional value helps to support the immune system · Rejuvenate you overall · Lower high blood pressure- chlorophyll in wheatgrass is molecularly similar to our hemoglobin and helps in red blood cell count, improves blood circulation, thought to purify the blood and as a result can normalise blood pressure · Can help with diabetes – studies have shown improvement in blood sugar levels, wheatgrass has compounds that have similar effects to insulin · Brain booster – wheatgrass can improve overall brain function, relieve anxiety, is neuroprotective and improves cognitive function. Studies are looking at it’s benefits with Alzheimer’s · Benefits those with arthritis These are the reasons that wheatgrass is so popular with Cancer patients, like myself, but really it is a superfood for most people. How to take your wheatgrass: · Grow your own and juice it – 1-4oz (2 shots) · Buy a powder – 3-5g (1tsp) · Drink a glass of water after · Always start with a small dose and build up · If you have a specific condition or are on medication then check with your therapist and Dr first. Next week I’ll share with you how to grow your own wheatgrass You can follow carina at www.itsanaturalchoice.com Follow her journey on Facebook & Instagram – It’s A Natural Choice Join Facebook group – The Natural Health Tribe Weight management plan - Bodytype plan
