There has been such a lot of information around the subject of phytochemicals and health and cancer that I thought that it was time for a fresh look at the subject.

Whenever I talk to a visitor about diet and cancer I am very conscious that I do not want to give advice that will create conflict or stress.

I thought it would be a good idea to look at some snack ideas that could easily be incorporated into a healthy eating plan.

As a follow on this week I want to look at the glycemic load of food and its relevance to healthy eating. I use the term quite regularly when describing the health benefits of foods as it is a very good indication.

Wow this is a really heavily debated issue. Some people are absolutely passionate about buying organic, some think it is a waste of money and others are ambivalent to it. I am constantly being asked my views on this by visitors.

This week I thought that I would write about one of the foods that I use a great deal in my cooking demonstrations as an illustration of a versatile really healthy food, Quinoa.

Despite the belief that people with cancer generally lose weight as a result of the disease process I get many visitors asking me for advice on how to deal with weight gain, particularly women who are receiving treatment for hormone related cancers.

This week I want to look at more practical ways of eating well. About 4 week ago I looked at some snack ideas and this week I thought I would look at the most important meal of the day breakfast and some easy healthy ideas that you could try.

This week I was going to continue my theme of meal ideas but thought I would postpone this for a week and do a blog about pumpkins and a recipe.

s a nutritional Therapist I receive many newsletters from other nutrition experts and as a result am privy to reading many research papers attached to these new letters.

Some weeks ago there was a Horizon programme on the television focussing on Fasting.

I thought we would have a change of pace this week and have a look at coconut oil and coconut milk and its benefits in a similar way that we looked at Pumpkins a few weeks ago.

Hi everyone. I thought that we would go a bit foody this week as it is that time of the year.

This is the last blog of the year before we have a break for the Christmas holidays.

Hi everyone, I wish all of you a good new year, a time for renewed vigour and determination perhaps, certainly a time when most people take stock of themselves and look for ways to improve what has been going on.

Should I eat or avoid fish? This is a question I am so often asked. There are a few concerns that people can have.

This week I thought I would share with you my participation in a cookery day held at the Nutrition Centre in Wokingham.

This blog is a follow on from last week when we looked at The Raw Food diet and I introduced you to a few recipes and new foods that you may find worth trying.

Last week we looked and juicing and juicers and this week I thought it would be a good idea to look at smoothie as another option.

This week I wanted to write a blog on the article that ran last week in the Daily Mail newspaper on the new 2 day diet.
