Sun Chlorella

SUN CHLORELLA
Chlorella long been associated with detox and immune boosting properties - theres long been arguments around Natural versus Synthetic Vitamins Of course nutrients from a natural source are superior to synthetic supplements.   Sun chlorella has an amazing large yield of protein and it’s a unicellular fresh water green algae.
·
There are many other applications that are now coming to light now aside from simply boosting immunity. Pregnancy and Sport are two new areas where chlorella is being used and researched. Sun Chlorella has been investing in R&D since the 60s.



Pregnancy  - A survey highlighted many gaps in the nutritional knowledge of pregnant women. In particular many women were unaware of symptoms that can arise in pregnancy that can be triggered by nutrient deficiencies. One example is the common problem of anaemia, caused by deficiency in nutrients such as iron, folate and vitamin B12.  The research strongly supports the benefits of taking Sun Chlorella during pregnancy and breastfeeding for decreasing the incidence of anaemia, the amount toxins in breast milk, and increasing IgA concentrations in breast milk.


We’ve all heard about vitamin D deficiency and most recently in relation to deficiency in pregnant women and the increase of childhood rickets. Sun Chlorella is also a good natural source of vitamin D

·
Sun Chlorella are becoming known in this area via an association with Ruben Tabares who is a nutritionist, trainer to professional sportsmen and celebrities, as well as a professional hurdler training for the 2012 Olympics. He uses Sun Chlorella with his clients and personally to increase energy, alkalise lactic acid post workout and to aid repair via the nucleic acids in Chlorella Growth Factor.

I also love this liquid which contains not all but some of the nutrients, great for giving to the kids if they won't take the caps, although they're very tiny (the caps not the kids !!)

Janey Loves Jason Natural Care

JASON are one of my favourite companies and have a absolutely huge range of products for all the family,

JASON set out on their trailblazing mission in 1959 to provide a natural alternative to industrial products for wholesome Californians not convinced by the new, alien ingredients being used, or the skin irritations they caused. Nothing frilly, nothing fancy. Just therapeutic products that really work, as well as having wonderful, natural fragrances.


I’ve recently started using their fab Hemp hand and body lotion. Now as I’m sure you know hemp is indeed the new rock and roll, I’ve got a hemp hat, handbag and a friend with a baby is using cloth nappies which use hemp for absorbency, so heres a few factioids about hemp –

*Hemp oil was often used topically by ancient civilisations including the Romans and Egyptians.

*Middle Europeans also used Hemp Oil as an ointment and in lotions and bath products.

*Hemp Oil is rich in Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) which deeply penetrate to hydrate dry, cracked skin.

Jasons Hemp hand and body oil is -
*A deep penetrating blend of Hemp, Kukui Nut and Sunflower Seed Oils plus vitamins C and E to soften and smooth dry, moisture starved skin and also revitalise.


Importantly there’s No Mineral Oil, Petrolatum Free, No Animal Testing, No Animal By-Products

*For best results, apply to slightly damp skin after showering to receive the full moisturizing properties.

*Concentrate on dry, rough spots like elbows, heels and knees. Reapply whenever moisture is needed www.jasonnaturalcare.co.uk

This great company Nuique (pronounced New IQ) have a great range of products that work with sports injuries and massage, the packaging looks so 'medical'.   I couldn’t believe these were natural, but when my son had a skateboarding injury and his back was bruised and painful, one application of the Cooling Cream and he said it felt really cooling, the swelling went down and by the next morning just a faint bruise,

Emma from Nuique recommended that he use the massage oil after that as it contained Arnica and his bruisng went down really quickly so all round a brilliant test of a great product.

Janey Loves Natural anti ageing skincare from Inlight

At last a brilliant organic brand formulated by the wonderful Dr Mariano Spiezia, Mariano and his wife Loredana have created something very special with this range.


This is a naturopathic doctor who really knows about skin, Inlight have a great range of products that have no contraindications with homeopathic remedies and I’m a big fan of their deep cleansing salve and their facial oil is wonderful but lets focus just for a second on anti-aging, something very relevant to all of us !.


The appearance of wrinkles is linked on one hand to the how we move our face, its literally connected to emotions and psychological factors, but on the other hand its linked to the natural ageing process influenced by many life style factors (food, sun exposure, smog, pollution, lack of sleep etc.) .  We can’t stop the ageing process of course but it  can be “controlled” or “slowed down” by having a correct life style and correct diet, rich in vitamins, antioxidants and vital nutritional factors. To keep away wrinkles you also need a cosmetic routine based on moisturising oils rich in antioxidants, Vitamin E, essential fatty acids, chlorophyll and enzymes.
Mariano and his wife Loredana have created something very special with this range.
-      
I'm a very big fan of facial ols, particularly olive oil, jojoba oil, rose hip oil, all rich in Vitamin E and EFA, protect, soften and moisturise the skin reducing the evaporation of the “internal water “, and have an antioxidant and protective action against UV rays. Many are the herbs available in Nature that encourage production of collagen together with astringent and anti-ageing properties.   However wrinkles don’t miraculously disappear if covered up (sadly) , they need to be “treated” and not even moisturising is enough to keep them at bay.  The skin needs to be well nourished and well fed in order to keep young and healthy. This is why a beauty daily regime full of antioxidants is essential.
Inlight suggest you get started with:their


INLIGHT organic skincare anti-ageing Trio -
