Obesity is Now a World Wide Tsunami
I was watching a news report the other day and I can’t recall what the story was really about but there were a group of Australians being interviewed and I felt somewhat embarrassed that many of the people being interviewed were clearly very much overweight, bordering on obese if not morbidly obese.

Stranger or Someone Who needs help!
I was speaking at a function recently in Bendigo and I looked around and everyone was nodding. I stopped my talk and asked if they had heard the information before or simply agreed with me. Everyone did! I then told them that it was not them I wanted to reach but rather people who had […]
Cyndi’s Safari in Africa.
The depths of Africa is a great place to get back to nature and back to the natural rhythm of life especially if you choose to rough it in the wilds and not take the soft option of guided tours and safari’s. I am fortunate to be friends with a couple from South Africa who […]
The Quality of Your Health Will be Determined by the Quality of Your Questions

Heart Foundation Story on A Current Affair

Make you love for Chocolate- Super Nutrition
The first, second and third Edition of Changing Habits Changing Lives has a whole chapter on chocolate.

The Drugging of our Children.
Fortified Food- Is it a health food hazard?
I am not a fan of breakfast cereals, never have been. They are the most profitable food on the supermarket shelf, they have outlandish false health claims and their marketing and advertising is full of extravagant claims.
