Fermenting Vegetables – Why & How?
May 31st
Finally, here is a post that I’ve been planning to do for ages but not getting around to. To those of you that I’ve consulted to around nutrition and digestive health, you’ll will know that fermented foods ( cultured vegetables ) is a subject close to my heart. I’ve just finished reading Sandor Ellix Katz’s book “Wild Fermentation” which has finally inspired me to put something together. Having dabbled in fermenting food myself for the last year or so, I can easily see how Katz’s came to self describe himself as a “fermentation fetishist”. I too find delving into the science and More >
A Green Drink everyday..
Mar 10th
When our clients come in to do Cleansing / Detox programs with us, aside from taking out of the diet irritating foods such as sugar, gluten, trans fats etc, we really encourage them to get into making a green drink everyday.
At Boda, we’re big fans of concentrated green powders, as they’re packaged with phytonutrients, including essential alkaline minerals such as magnesium, iron, potasssium, sodium and calcium. These alkaline minerals help maintain our blood pH at it’s optimal slightly alkaline state and hence enable our bodies to do what it’s always trying to do, which is detox.

Fermented Foods / Probiotics – The MOST important thing you put in your body everyday
Dec 4th
Digestive health is at times a complexed subject and certainly one that can be a real frustration to our clients, especially when they’ve committed to healthy diets, have tried digestive supplements yet continued to have intestinal issues. The foundation to digestive health though is strong, healthy gut flora (beneficial bacteria), which is the point I want to take up today.

My daily mantra with clients then is; Fermented foods and More >

Most of us have heard about how Celtic, Himalayan, Murray River Pink Salt and unrefined sea salt in appropriate quantities being actually healthy for us.

Did you know having a tablespoon of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar in water with 1/4 teaspoon of bi-carbonate soda will decrease the viscosity (thickness) of your blood? With your blood flowing more easily this kickstarts your circulation and lymphatic system into eliminating waste (detoxify), an important yet often overlooked necessity in maintaining wellbeing.

Time to Rejuvenate – it’s Spring!
Sep 3rd
Spring is a time characterized by birth, renewal, and energy. Seeing the way the warmer sun and air enlivens the world after months of dormancy is one of life’s true joys. Days become longer and the sunshine warmer. In sync with spring’s revival, our bodies also shift into a higher gear, letting us experience a welcome surge of energy. Almost instinctively, we clean
out our closets and throw open the windows to let in fresh air. But why limit spring cleaning to just our homes? Our bodies need it as well.
Winter time is when our bodies most often accumulate toxins . We More >
