Recipe of the Month

Favourite Food Product

Q & A

pH power! A hot buzzword in the health industry right now, balancing your pH may help you lose weight, boost fertility, alleviate joint pain, and protect your bones. Learn the bases of pH here.

Hot Topic

Sugar + water = VitaminWater. Don't be duped by the new 'vitamin-added' waters, unless you like your H2O spiked with as many calories as a can of cola and 8½ teaspoons of sugar!

Tip of the Month: Scan ingredient lists and avoid products that contain artificial flavours, colours (red #40, yellow #5 or tartrazine, yellow #6), and sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose, acesulfame-potassium). These substances are chemicals, not foods, and have been linked to allergies, weight gain and behavioural problems in children. Artificial ingredients are abundant in processed, low nutritive foods, so save yourself the detective work by choosing fresh, whole foods when possible.
