About 2 weeks into my training the Gym owner George, pulled me aside and said “Frank, it’s great that you are training here to lose weight and get fit but if you don’t change your diet, you are not going to live a long healthy life.”

I said “George, what do you mean, I eat really well.” George said, “Look Frank, do yourself a favour and buy this book, read it and I guarantee it will change

your life”. I took the book home and read it from cover to cover in just three days. George was right, the book changed my life forever. I went from one day eating everything that my wife Grace put in front of me to the next day not eating anything she cooked.

Eat to live - Not live to eat I was just so inspired by what I had learnt, that I wanted to educate as many people as I could on the principles of natural health. I had never heard the saying “Prevention is better than cure”. I had never heard anyone say, “Eat to live”, where as I used to live to eat. I started purchasing every book I could get my hands on about natural health, herbal medicine, nutritional cooking, raw vegetable juices, internal cleansing, bowel health, organic gardening and anything relating to natural living. I couldn’t get enough! I couldn’t wait to tell all my friends and family, in fact that’s all I spoke about.

Quit my job to follow my passion! I said to my wife Grace “I really would like to do this full time.” I thought, why don’t I open up a Health Food Store. At the time, that’s what made me the happiest, talking to people about bowel health, and the principles

of natural living. So that’s what I did. I quit my job as a motor mechanic and I opened the store on the 1st of November 1982, on my 28th birthday.

Talking to customers is what made me happy From the very first day of opening the doors, I just couldn’t keep my mouth shut. I just talked and talked and talked to every customer that came into my

store. In fact I think I hold the longest record for talking to one customer, in one period. She came into the store at 9 o’clock and she left at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. I’m not kidding - my wife is a witness to that.

New house or open Health Food Store? Grace worked at the store and we had two young children at the time

and a mortgage. I guess thinking about it now we took a huge risk opening a new business. I said to Grace, “Do we build a house or do we open a Health Food Store?” Grace had always wanted a new house. We discussed it and she said “Look it’s your passion, let’s open the Health Food Store and worry about the house later.” I’ve always had Grace’s support, she has been great.

Totally Natural Products to Caruso’s After a few years of working in the Health Food Store, I realised that there weren’t many people in the industry that were as passionate as I was on natural living. So in 1995, I decided to create my own range called Totally Natural Products.

So the idea of starting the company was to originally bring out a small range of internal cleansing programs that would support digestion and take a load off the digestive system, so the body could focus on healing itself.

That’s how I started. Since then, the range has expanded to over 100 products. In March 2013, I decided to change the brand name from Totally Natural Products to Caruso’s Natural Health. It’s my family name and I’m the founder of the company. I just felt that it was appropriate to go out with a brand that was under the family name because there is a good story to tell.

Love my products like I do or your money back

Today, I have a passionate team that are truly dedicated in sourcing the best quality ingredients that go into our formulas. That’s why I’m happy to stand behind my products with a 100% Money Back Guarantee. The thing that still drives me today is the fact that I am still helping Australian’s live healthier lives.

I turn 60 this year and I can honestly say, I feel more alert, more vibrant and have more energy today than I did 40 years ago. I’m a good example that if you embrace the principles of natural health you can live a long healthy and vibrant life. If you make time for good health you will always have enough health for a good time!

Yours in vibrant health,

Frank Caruso, Founder of Caruso’s Natural Health

Dr Ian Musgrave, a senior lecturer in the school of medical sciences at the University of Adelaide, responded to the study’s results saying: “Our foods are of international quality and indeed perform better in some aspects compared to international benchmarks.

“There were no perchlorates in water, and the majority of the population is not exposed to levels of aluminium likely to cause health issues.

“The statement that may cause concern is the findings on acrylamide . . . The issue is that while the levels consumed are 50 times lower than the safety threshold, regulators would prefer this to be 500 times lower.”

Professor Rae says minimising fried foods and processed carbohydrates makes sense on many levels.

“Taking it easy when it comes to these foods, as regulators advise, has as much to do with overeating and obesity as it has with acrylamide,” he says. “It’s a tough call, but ‘a little of what you fancy’ is probably still the way to go.”

The results of the second part of the Total Diet Study, yet to be published, will focus on food packaging chemicals.

Source: SMH 5th May 2014

The 24th Australian Total Diet Study by Food Standards Australia New Zealand tested 94 commonly consumed foods and drinks.The first part of the study tested three food chemicals: acrylamide, aluminium and perchlorates.While the results fell within the safe range overall, levels of acrylamide appeared to be of possible concern to human health.

Acrylamide is used in the treatment of water. It also forms naturally in carbohydrate-rich foods when they are heated at high temperatures by roasting, baking, grilling, toasting and frying.

“The acrylamide is formed in natural chemical reactions between food components that also give us tasty browning and crunchy texture,” says Professor Ian Rae, an honorary professorial fellow at the University of Melbourne.

The chemical is known to cause cancer in animals, but in humans the exposure “threshold” is unknown, says the World Health Organisation.

“There is no direct evidence acrylamide causes cancer in humans, but food regulators, including FSANZ, agree that we should reduce our exposure,” the study’s authors say.

They found that cereals and grain-based foods were the main sources of acrylamide in our diets, followed by snacks, condiments, fried potato products and meat.

Surprisingly high levels of the chemical were found in fried beef mince, fresh and fried onions, while

pre-packaged olives, chocolate-flavoured energy drinks, grilled asparagus, baked

beans and prune juice also rated a mention.

“Beef mince has a high surface area which would allow acrylamide to form if the appropriate precursor chemicals were present,” the authors say.

“Similarly, onions have a relatively low sugar content compared to many other starchy vegetables. The results indicate that the cooking method and surface area of the food may be a contributing factor for acrylamide formation.”

Also confounding expectations were pizza and coffee, which did not have detectable levels of the chemical. Fresh fruit and vegetables were not tested.

“The formation of acrylamide in raw fruits and vegetables is unlikely,” the authors say.

In all tested foods, the acrylamide levels “were generally lower than, or comparable to, those reported in Australian and international studies”. However, the authors acknowledge that based on WHO estimates “the acrylamide exposure of Australian consumers is consistent with those considered to be of possible concern to human health”.

An analysis of foods we eat every day such as bread, coffee, milk, meat

and tap water, has explored our exposure to chemicals.

You have many options when it comes to choosing your oil for cooking, which can become more confusing and frustrating.

&

There are two types of fatty acids - saturated and unsaturated. The different types of fatty acids are structurally different and as we would expect, they have different functions in the body.

Saturated fats have a single bond and are found in animal products and dairy. These types of fats are solid at room temperature.

Unsaturated fats are divided into two groups known as Polyunsaturated and Monounsaturated. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, are found primarily in fish, plant oils, seeds and nuts. These “healthy” fats have been shown to maintain healthy blood cholesterol levels. Even though these fats are better for you than saturated and trans fats, they are still fats, and intake should be moderate to maintain the best of health.

When cooking on a high heat or deep frying, you would want to use fats that are stable and that don’t oxidise or become rancid. When fats go through oxidation, they react with oxygen to form free radicals and become harmful to use.

Anytime you cook food, you run the risk of creating heat-induced damage. The oils you choose to cook with must be stable enough to resist chemical changes when heated on high temperatures, or you run the risk of damaging your health. One of the ways vegetable oils can cause damage is by converting your good cholesterol into bad cholesterol when they oxidise.

Cooking oils to include in your diet

Olive oil: Olive oil can do so much more when it comes to your health. Olive oil is one of the best and healthiest fats, which is pressed from the fruit of the olive. It is known for its benefit in balancing bad LDL cholesterol and raising good HDL cholesterol. Olive oil is packed with antioxidants called phenols, which may protect soft tissues.

Extra virgin olive oil is best used in salad dressings and dips. Olive oil has a low smoke point that is the temperature at which it starts to burn and breaks down causing changes in its molecular structure. It is best to add olive oil towards the end of cooking.

Ensure that you keep your olive oil in a dry, cool, dark place to prevent it from going rancid.

Ghee: Ghee is the most preferred cooking oil in India, due to its high smoke point which makes it suitable for cooking. Ghee is rich in CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) the Essential fatty acid found in grass-fed animals.

Casein and lactose have been removed from ghee, these are the substances that are found in dairy, which many people are sensitive to. Often, those with dairy sensitivities can tolerate ghee.

Palm oil: Palm oil is made from palm fruit, which is a great healthy option for high heat cooking and is native to South East Asia. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding palm oil because many palm oil plantations have contributed to the destruction of rainforests. However, it is important to know your source.

Avocado oil: This is one of the best cooking oils because it has such a high smoke point. However, it contains a reasonable amount of polyunsaturated fats which in excess, have been known to cause inflammation. Because of this, it is best not to use avocado oil as your everyday cooking, but it is a good choice for occasional use.

Butter: It is believed that high-quality grass fed butter can be good for you in small amounts. Our body and brain need dietary cholesterol as they are essential for our bodies to function properly. Make sure you source good quality grass fed butter, Organic raw grass fed butter is the best option.

Cooking oils to use in moderation

There are two types of polyunsaturated fats (PUFA) Omega 3 and Omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acid. Omega 3 Essential fatty acids are primarily found in fish, shell fish and flaxseed. These oils are good for use in moderation.

Coconut oil: Coconut oil has been used for thousands of years for its astonishing and remarkable health benefits. When it comes to high heat cooking, coconut oil is your best option as it contains an exclusive composition of 90% saturated fatty acids.

Coconut oil has powerful health benefits. It is mainly rich in Lauric Acid which makes it a great oil for wound healing. Make sure to choose organic virgin coconut oil to reap the health benefits.

Canola oil: Is widely recognised as the healthiest salad and cooking oil, which is available to consumers, even though canola oil contains Omega 3s. These oils are fragile and exposed to oxidation through heating. Canola oil also contain uric acid, which can be toxic if consumed in large amounts.

Grape seed oil: Has a moderate high smoke point and contains lots of vitamin E, about twice as much as olive oil. It has the highest concentration of Omega 6 and over 70% polyunsaturated fats (PUFA). As we know, these fats can cause inflammation and can have an absolutely devastating effects on the body’s metabolism.

Oils can be used at the end of cooking to enhance the flavour. Remember to also keep your consumption of all fats to a minimum.

One of the most compelling findings of recent years is that muscles are actually a huge secretory organ and when we exercise them, they release hormone-like chemicals that have a major influence on every system of the body, says Rob newton, Foundation Professor of exercise and Sports Science at Western australia’s edith Cowan University.

“Doing aerobic exercise and ignoring strength exercises is like remembering to change the oil in the car but ignoring the transmission fluid. “ The effects of these chemicals – called myokines - include reducing the low level inflammation in the body thought to contribute to heart disease, type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s – and possibly working as tumour suppressants.“Some studies have found that extracting blood from exercising humans and adding it to cancer cells in test tubes slows the rate of cell reproduction,” he says. “In a study of mice, the growth of breast cancer cells was halted in mice that exercised, while the cancer continued developing in mice that were inactive.” This may be one reason why exercise appears to help reduce the risk of some cancers and improve survival in people with cancer. “Some types of exercise, including strength training, also produce a surge of the hormone testosterone which helps sharpen thinking and memory,” he adds.Then there’s the effect of exercise on mitochondria, the little energy ‘factories’ in our cells – when you exercise your body makes more mitochondria – and the more you have the more you can do. “But when you’re inactive, the numbers of mitochondria decline so it gets harder to do things,” Newton explains. “If you become ill when you already have fewer mitochondria it’s harder to recover.”Examples like these show why an exercise habit is like a pill that boosts energy, strength and improves resistance to disease, he says – and if we want to reduce the risk of inactivity-driven diseases like heart disease, diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer’s, we need a regular dose all the way from childhood to old age.Childhood and adolescence – fighting inactivity.

It’s not just grownups who’ve been forced into inactivity by 21st century lifestyles. When did you last see a toddler walking in a shopping centre? It’s more common to see toddlers and even older children sitting in strollers or shopping trolleys and it’s easy to see why – wheeling little kids around is more convenient than walking at their pace. Yet if you check Australia’s latest Physical Activity Guidelines, spending long periods in car seats and strollers isn’t on the to-do list – ‘all children (birth to 5 years) should not be sedentary, restrained, or kept inactive, for more than one hour at a time, with the exception of sleeping’ is the advice.“Once I would have said that it’s in the teens when children leave school that physical activity declines, but kids are becoming less active at younger ages,” says Newton. “Screen time is up but there are also other factors including concerns about litigation or safety that lead to limits on what children are allowed to do – like banning monkey bars or even lunchtime sport in some schools.”And although we hear a lot about kids needing calcium for strong bones, only physical activity will build bone, he adds.Ironically, among the tips for bone and muscle building moves for 5 to 12 year olds from the Physical Activity Guidelines is ... climbing or swinging on monkey bars and climbing frames. Other suggestions are games like tug o’ war (tugging is great for muscle) and hopscotch (jumping is good for bone), along with dance, gymnastics and martial artsPrime time for bone growth is childhood, adolescence and young adulthood – getting as much bone in the ‘bank’ between now and 30 is a hedge against the gradual bone loss that starts after 40.20 to 50 – Exercise boosts performance. Because these are peak years for building careers and families, time is often short - but being physically active helps mind and body work better, improving productivity, Newton says.“If you say, ‘I’ve got kids - there’s no time to exercise’, it’s worth remembering that you won’t be much good for your kids if you have a heart attack.”While aerobic exercise to prevent heart disease is important, we also need two to three sessions of strength training a week, he says.

“Doing aerobic exercise like walking, running or cycling and ignoring strength exercises is like remembering to change the oil in the car regularly but ignoring the transmission fluid.”50 -65 Disease-proofing for better healthAn exercise habit now will help stave off chronic diseases that can blight older age.“If you’re planning to travel in retirement but get to 65 with problems like overweight, arthritis and muscle loss it won’t be so much fun,” says Newton, stressing that conserving muscle and bone with strength training helps head off frailty further down the track. Walking is terrific for helping prevent cardiovascular disease but does nothing for building muscle or bone.“Regular strength training also provides muscles with a built-in repair kit. It causes satellite cells attached to the outside of muscle cells to proliferate and donate nuclei to muscle tissue, allowing new cells to grow and repair - so even though you’re older, muscles are still strong and tuned for repair and growth.“Exercising muscle also helps control blood glucose levels – if you have low muscle mass you can’t control blood sugar levels so well and this increases diabetes risk.”60 plus – getting with the strength. You’d think that the generation most likely to pick up weights are 20 or 30-somethings doing CrossFit, but strength training now has considerable traction with the over-60s, says Newton. Many have joined Living Longer, Living Stronger – a national program of strength training classes to reduce age-related decline and improve health.“It doesn’t have to be strength training at the gym – it can be gardening if there’s lifting and digging involved. The number one reason people go into dependent care is frailty - this is the age group with the most to lose if muscle strength dwindles, but a lot to gain if they can slow muscle loss down.”What made you decide that exercise was essential not optional?“Doing aerobic exercise and ignoring strength exercises is like remembering to change the oil in the car but ignoring the transmission fluid.”Source: SMH 7th April 2014

CHC53120-12/13

The discomfort of joint pain, stiffness, swelling and inflammation can really interfere

with you performing even the simplest of everyday tasks. Fortunately, there’s Caruso’s King Krill Joint Freedom, which may help increase joint mobility, relieve joint swelling, reduce joint inflammation and improve overall joint health.

Support healthy joints for a brighter, active life

Caruso’s King Krill Joint Freedom is for people who want to enjoy a more active lifestyle, but are inhibited by joint pain, stiffness, swelling and inflammation. Caruso’s King Krill Joint Freedom is powered by Krill Oil, Glucosamine, Boron and Vitamin D. These ingredients have been specially selected because of their health benefits on joints and arthritis.

Glucosamine provides powerful joint support

Glucosamine has a role in the synthesis of collagen. It has both anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions. It may help keep your joints healthy. It may also assist with joint pain and improve joint function.

The benefits of Krill Oil

Omega 3 Essential fatty acids are good for joint health. Like Fish Oil, the Krill Oil found in Caruso’s King Krill Joint Freedom contains Omega 3 Essential fatty acids (EPA and DHA). A daily dose of 300mg of Krill Oil may help reduce joint inflammation and provides temporary relief from pain associated with Osteoarthritis.

For healthy bone and joint function

Boron plays a significant role in regulating healthy bone and joint function, that’s why it is in Caruso’s King Krill Joint Freedom. Boron may provide a favourable effect in supporting bone-building.

Vitamin D may assist with muscle weakness. It may also assist with bone health. And the inclusion of Boron may help to activate Vitamin D, which is important for proper bone development.

And don’t forget… it’s the way we make it, that makes all the difference. Caruso’s King Krill Joint Freedom is made with love!

Although fasting diets have been criticised by nutritionists, research suggests that starving the body kick-starts stem cells into producing more white blood cells, which fight off infection.Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) say the discovery could be particularly beneficial for those suffering from damaged immune systems, such as cancer patients on chemotherapy. It could also help the elderly whose immune systems become less effective.

The researchers say that fasting ‘‘flips a regenerative switch’’ which prompts stem cells to create white

blood cells, essentially restoring the immune system.

‘‘It gives the OK for stem cells to go ahead and begin proliferating and rebuild the entire system,’’ said Valter Longo, professor of gerontology and biological sciences at the university.

‘‘And the good news is that the body got rid of the parts of the system that might be damaged or old, the inefficient parts, during the fasting. Now, if you start with a system heavily damaged by chemotherapy or ageing, fasting cycles can generate, literally, a new immune system.’’

Prolonged fasting forces the body to use stores of glucose and fat but also breaks down a significant portion of white blood cells. During each cycle of fasting, this depletion induces changes that trigger stem cell-based regeneration of immune system cells.

In trials, volunteers were asked to fast regularly for between two and four days over a six-month period. Scientists found that prolonged fasting also reduced the enzyme PKA, which is linked to ageing and a hormone which increases cancer risk and tumour growth.

‘‘We could not predict that prolonged fasting would have such a remarkable effect in promoting stem cell-based regeneration of the hematopoietic [formation of stem cells] system,’’ added Prof Longo.

‘‘When you starve, the system tries to save energy, and one of the things it can do to save energy is to recycle a lot of the immune cells that are not needed, especially those that may be damaged.

‘‘What we started noticing in both our human work and animal work is that the white blood cell count goes down with prolonged fasting. Then when you re-feed, the blood cells come back.’’

Fasting for 72 hours also protected cancer patients against the toxic impact of chemotherapy.

‘‘The results of this study suggest that fasting may mitigate some of the harmful effects of chemotherapy,’’ said co-author Tanya Dorff, assistant professor of clinical medicine at the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center and Hospital.

Referring to the 72-hour fasting period, Chris Mason, professor of regenerative medicine at University College London, said: ‘‘That could be potentially useful because that is not such a long time that it would be terribly harmful to someone with cancer. But I think the most sensible way forward would be to synthesise this effect with drugs. I am not sure fasting is the best idea. People are better eating on a regular basis.’’

Dr Longo added: ‘‘There is no evidence at all that fasting would be dangerous while there is strong evidence that it is beneficial.’’

The english word for Lavender is generally thought to have come from the old French word Lavandre and the Latin word Lavare meaning “to wash” giving us some idea of how it was used at the time. however, the authenticity of this is uncertain and it’s more likely that the word Lavender comes from the Latin word Livere describing the “blueish” colour of the flower. not only is Lavender beautiful to look at it has so many uses as well. The use of lavender even goes as far back in history as the ancient Greeks, Romans and arabic cultures and in modern times lavender has a long history of use medicinally and in the home.

The various types of Lavender are used in many gardens and landscapes across the globe but it is the fragrant essential oil of the English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) that is cultivated for commercial purposes.

Lavender is the most versatile of all essential oils. It’s like carrying your very own bottle of personal perfume, first-aid kit and pick-me-up. Most commonly known for its relaxing effects on the mind and body, the fragrance is pleasant, calming and soothing helping to relax the nervous system.

Lavender has so many different uses and can be used fresh, dried or as an essential oil. Here’s some inspiration in making the most of your own remedies with lavender:

drinking too many of them can make kids put on excess weight. Kids who eat too much sugar tend not to eat enough of the healthy foods.

Children are extremely receptive to advertisements for sugary, cereals and sweets, especially after they’ve visited other homes where these foods are served or in the checkout lines for supermarkets. For this reason, you need to be aware of your kid’s eating habits when they are at home or away, and monitor them to make sure they eat as healthy as possible.

To combat outside influence, keep your own home as healthy as possible. Stock up on low sodium, low sugar and low fat products. Eventually you kids will be used to health foods, which may make them less susceptible to the temptation of the more sugary, salty, or greasy foods.

Mapula StrachanAdv. Dip Naturopath

Sugar has been confirmed to be the public number one enemy, the truth is; processed sugar does not contain any health benefit. It lacks fibre, minerals, proteins, enzymes, fats or anything that your children’s body needs for healthy development. All it contributes to the body are empty calories.

Because processed sugar does little good or none at all for the body, consumption of sugar may effect the ability of your child’s immune system to fight cold and flu, and is known to cause inflammation and encourages the growth of bad bacteria which can cause a lot of health issues.

Sugars, found in lollies and other treats, are known to cause damage on a child’s teeth. Sugar is what bacteria in the mouth feed on and these bacteria in turn, attack the teeth which will eventually lead to decay. When this goes on at an early stage, it can affect a child until adulthood. It may be a minor matter now, but oral health does have serious implications on the overall well-being of an individual.

Sugar causes weight gain in kids just like it does with adults. Kids gain weight when

they eat more calories than they can burn. Sugary snacks and drinks

The ABS survey found that vegetable intake was low. While just under three quarters of teenagers and young adults consumed vegetables on the day before the survey interview, almost half of this consumption was potatoes (including chips) for both teenage males and females.

“Ideally, Australians should be getting their essential nutrients from a healthy diet, but the reality painted by the ABS survey is that many people are not meeting the recommended daily nutrient requirements.

“Vitamins, minerals and supplements are no substitute for a balanced diet, however, they do have a legitimate place in preventing a nutritional deficiency when dietary intake is inadequate.

Consumers are encouraged to talk to a qualified healthcare professional who can provide advice on nutritional needs and whether a dietary supplement would be beneficial,” said Mr Scarff.

lustrous hair!

Thousands of men and women wonder why their hair is not as full and gleaming as it once was. They

don’t realise constantly bombarding their hair and scalp with hair treatments loaded with chemicals can be damaging. Perming, bleaching and colouring agents contain a cocktail of chemicals that can rob your hair of the essential proteins and moisture it needs. This can leave your hair fragile, brittle and easily damaged. These chemicals can even rob your skin of natural oils, which may lead to a flaking and itchy scalp. Blow driers are also notorious for damaging your hair.

Many people have problems with their hair, that’s why Frank Caruso developed his special Hair Food Complete Hair Care Program. It contains the Figaro Hair Food Plus supplement and the Figaro Hair Food Shampoo, Conditioner and Lotion.

How does Caruso’s Figaro Hair Food Plus help your hair?Your hair grows from a little pouch in the

scalp called a ‘follicle’. Tiny blood vessels link your blood supply to these tiny pouches, feeding the growing hair shaft. Nutrients like those found in Caruso’s Figaro Hair Food Plus are supplied by your blood to support tiny follicle cells. Are you concerned about losing your hair?If you are losing your hair Caruso’s Figaro Hair Food Plus may help you. A deficiency of Biotin is associated with hair loss and dandruff production. Importantly, Inositol has been included in this formula because it is used to assist healthy hair growth.Maintain healthy, shiny, good looking hairOther nutrients in Caruso’s Figaro Hair Food Plus are Vitamin B2 and Silica. Vitamin B2 helps to maintain healthy hair, whilst Silica plays a role in the formation of connective tissue giving integrity, stability and elasticity to hair cells. With all these nutrients Caruso’s Figaro Hair Food Plus may help you maintain healthy, shiny, good looking hair.

Your hair also needs support from the

outside!The hair care team at Caruso’s Natural Health have also formulated

their Hair Food shampoo, conditioner

and scalp lotion to care for your hair from the outside. After using these formulations you will notice your hair is softer, having more body, shape, lustre and bounce. The nutrients based shampoo and conditioner cleanse your scalp and hair follicles, giving you naturally shiny, bouncy hair. Whilst Caruso’s Hair Food Lotion spray contains a blend of specially selected nutrients

which you gently massage into your scalp. The special Caruso’s Hair Food Complete Hair Care Program helps care for your hair (skin and nails) from the inside and out!Also suitable for your skin and nailsNutrients in this formula also make it beneficial for your skin and nails. Biotin has been shown to help strengthen nails so you can better manage nail splitting. It’s also important to note insufficient levels of Biotin can be linked to dry, flaky or dull skin. Silica helps give integrity, stability and elasticity to your skin, nails (and hair). Deficiencies in Folic Acid can dull skin. Vitamin B2 helps you produce collagen which forms the structure of your skin.100% Money Back GuaranteeThe quality Caruso’s Hair Food Complete Hair Care Program was developed by Caruso’s Natural Health, a proud Australian owned family company, founded by Frank Caruso.

Did you know every bone in your body is completely reformed about every 10 years? This process is regulated by

Osteoblasts, cells that build up your skeleton and Osteoclasts, cells which break down your skeleton. As long as the bone building activity of Osteoblasts exceeds the destructive action of Osteoclasts, the process of maintaining healthy bone is kept under control.Osteoblasts produce a Vitamin K dependent protein called Osteocalcin. It needs Vitamin K2, like that found in Caruso’s Vitamin K2, to become biologically active and function properly. Once this happens, Osteocalcin binds Calcium to your bone matrix and helps build healthy bones. This makes your skeleton

stronger. Without adequate Vitamin K2 Calcium will not properly attach to your bones. There is no way around this important step in bone formation. Vitamin K2 helps maintain bone strength. It also may help support and maintain bone mineral density. Calcium belongs in your bones Caruso’s Vitamin K2 may help support and maintain strong, healthy bones. Vitamin K2 is the most biologically active form of Vitamin K. It is the most beneficial for bone health maximisation. Vitamin K2 also helps remove Calcium from areas where it shouldn’t be, such as soft tissue and your cardiovascular system. Vitamin K2 does this by removing Calcium from your blood and moving it to your bones and teeth. This is important because if you have low Vitamin K2 levels, the Calcium in your body may collect in your blood leading to calcification of soft tissue areas.Bone building nutrients belong togetherThe major use of Calcium in your body is in your skeleton (and teeth). You need a steady supply of Calcium to help keep up the constant repair and rebuilding of your bones. But the problem with Calcium is thinking about it in isolation. In nature, nutrients do not come in isolated packages. Calcium for example, may be better taken with Vitamin K2 and Vitamin D3. If you take a Calcium supplement, it’s important to maintain a proper balance between Calcium,

Vitamin D and Vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 and Vitamin D3 naturally complement each other. 100% Money Back GuaranteeThe quality Caruso’s Vitamin K2 was developed by Caruso’s Natural Health, a proud Australian owned family company, founded by Frank Caruso.

acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the theory is that an energy force called “qi” flows through the body along an energy network (or conduit) called meridians regulating the functions of the body. disharmony in the body is thought to be brought about by blockages or disruption to the flow of “qi” through the body. acupuncture corrects the flow of “qi” in the body by stimulating specific points along the meridians of the body. This is done by inserting fine metal needles along the skin restoring harmony and balance within an individual.

Did you know that in ancient China it was forbidden to dissect a body and the subject of anatomy didn’t exist? This meant that their knowledge of health and disease came from observing living subjects.

It’s generally agreed that Acupuncture originated back in ancient China but how it evolved exactly is uncertain. Chinese history mentions that in the time of the Emperor Shennong, Han Chinese doctors observed that soldiers wounded in battle by arrows would be cured of their chronic complaints without having ever being treated with anything. What we do know exists is a document that records an organised system of diagnosing and treating called The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal

Many physicians in Australia having seen the positive benefits their patients are getting from acupuncture for pain relief, and are taking their own initiative and looking into it further with about one fifth of GP’s in Australia going on to do post-graduate training in acupuncture. A randomised controlled trial using acupuncture in three Melbourne hospitals to alleviate pain from acute migraines, back pain and ankle sprain is now underway. If the results from this trial are positive, then it will certainly open the way for more acceptance and use of acupuncture in other Australian hospitals.

But the idea of needles has scared you off? Ok you may feel a slight pinch initially or a tingling as the needle takes effect but if you’re suffering aches and pains on a daily basis, then the slight pinch of a hair-thin needle is a small price to pay for relief from those aches and pains. And it has such lovely side-effects too, like a good night’s sleep. You have to take the right dose for it to work. If the issue you’re seeking acupuncture for has been bothering you for some time, then more than likely you will need to have more than one treatment. Acupuncture works cumulatively, this means that with each treatment the effect gets better.

So, if drug-free pain relief is something you’ve been looking for then give acupuncture a try.

Medicine. This is the first ever written record of acupuncture and dates back to 100 BCE.

In today’s modern life we are in a constant state of “busy-ness” and quick fixes are the easiest way of dealing with common ailments like stress, headaches, back pain or lack of sleep. Like all quick fixes they are only band aid solutions and over time these common ailments may become persistent. Then when problems become unfixable what options do we have?

Acupuncture! Just about everybody is doing it or knows someone who has done it and if you’re not doing it you’ve probably wondered about it. If you’re thinking, “What’s acupuncture good for?” The short answer is ‘’anything you may need help with”.

acupuncture can work wonders for:

• Back,neckandshoulderpain

• Headaches

• Alleviatingdigestiveproblems

• Problemswithsleep

• Skinconditionslikeeczema

• Menstrualirregularities

Acupuncture is gaining acceptance across the wider medical community as more and more people are experiencing the positive benefits.

Is your BOWELCrying out for Help?Looking after your bowel is crucial to good health. The elimination of the food we eat is just as essential for good health as the food we actually eat. Stools are filled with bacteria and toxins, which is waste that is being eliminated from the body. It is important to excrete toxins through the stools from our body. If we do not have healthy bowel movement we experience problems such as bloating, constipation, wind and stomach pain.Normal and healthy bowel movement can be different for each individual. For some it may be a bowel movement every third day and for others it may be more than one a day which are both normal. Not excreting stools for 4-5 days or with pain on excretion is often classified as constipation and an indicator that we may have an issue with our bowel. We can improve our bowel health through diet and exercise. So let’s explore, what foods you should add to your shopping to aid in supporting good bowel health.Something we all know that we should include in our daily diet is fibre, but did you know that a high-fibre diet supports a healthy digestive tract by sweeping excess remains from the colon, much like a broom.

Fibre stimulates the muscles in our intestines, holds moisture in the colon, which aids in softening the stool. This is why it is essential in our diet.There are two forms of fibre: insoluble fibre and soluble fibre (dissolves in water) and we need both for bowel health. Insoluble fibre aids in improving elimination and preventing constipation, whereas soluble fibre increases beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract.Something you should add to your shopping list is Flax seed (also known as linseed) and oats, both of which are high in soluble and insoluble fibre. One tablespoon of Flaxseed can be added to your cereal or porridge and even included in a breakfast shake.There are vegetables which are high in fibre such as cabbage, brussel sprouts, turnips, carrots and cauliflower. Half a cup a day of theses vegetables is sufficient enough for a great fibre source.Some fruits are also a great source of fibre such as strawberries, oranges and apples with the skin on.Try and switch from refined grains to whole grains, since the refining process removes most of the fibre in your food. So next time you’re in the grocery isle swap your white pasta for whole wheat pasta, white rice for

brown rice and white bread for rye bread.If you are someone who enjoys a shake or juices add Alfalfa, wheat grass, spirulina or barley grass as they are all high in chlorophyll which has toning and cleansing properties aiding in healing your digestive tract.Water, is something that is essential for bowel health. Without sufficient fluid, the bowel’s contents become dry and difficult to pass. Proper hydration is also important with a high-fibre diet. Drink plenty of liquids, around 8 to 12 glasses per day to help keep your stools soft. Reduce the amount of refined sugar drinks (such as soft drinks) and caffeinated beverages. If you have caffeinated drinks add another extra glass of water for each cup of beverage taken and, if you’re not a fan of water add a piece of lemon for taste or increase your consumption of teas.So let’s shop wisely and plan our meals for good bowel, promoting overall good health.Adele GhraicheBAppSc (Naturopathic Studies)PGradDip (Naturopathy)
