Stay tuned for those interviews in the next few weeks!


This weeks SNACK BITES were two very healthy food/supplements that you may not have known much about before.

Online Training Programs Manager
Ideal Bodies Online

When you're trying to get healthy and get in shape, you are bombarded with information from every which way about what to eat, how much to eat and what not to eat. Fat is one of those foods! Do you eat it, do you cut it out completely? Is there really such a thing as good fats and can you even get lean and lose weight by eating fat?
This week, Kristin exposes the truth about fat!




JOY MOZZI
Living Foods Facilitator
FRUVENU
www.fruvenu.com.au
This week Joy speaks to us about food intolerances and allergies in children and gives us some hints and tips on preparing nutritious and delicious school lunches! With allergies in children having increased in the last few years, it's important not to expose kids to food they may have an adverse reaction to. But in the school environment, how do you give your child food they will love and food that will not make them sick. Joy lets us know how fresh, living foods can be fabulous for children and their allergies.




PETER BEARE
Holistic Health and Fitness Specialist
Strive Fitness

We all get stressed from time to time. Sometimes it lasts a few hours, other times it can seem to stick around for weeks or even months. Stress can be both good and bad, but too much bad stress can have serious effects on our health and can even lead to heart disease and other serious illnesses. Peter gives us the lowdown on the different types of stress and the best ways to balance the proportion of good and bad to help us stay healthy and sane!   :)

Please support Pixi Foto Foundation and Heartkids Australia :)

Hello


I would not normally do this, however I wanted to let you know that in 3 weeks my family and I are running in the Sydney Running Festival and for the third year in a row i'll be taking on the Half Marathon to raise money for Pixi Foto Foundation and HeartKids Australia.


Incidence of Childhood Heart Disease (CHD) is far greater than most people expect. 
CHD is the leading cause of death of young children in Australia, accounting for more than 30% of all childhood deaths, and takes more lives than all other childhood diseases combined. 
Although it comes as quite a shock, an astounding 6 babies each day in Australia are diagnosed with heart disease! 
More than 4 young Australians will die this week as a result of congenital heart disease.


I've had the pleasure of meeting some of the Heartkids children and their stories are unbelievable!.

Many of them have had multiple operations and continue to take medication for the rest of their lives. Sadly, some don't make it, however with much needed funds, HeartKids Australia can do more research, offer more support to families and provide greater care for the kids and families that are dealing with these issues.

I am still a bit off my fundraising goal for this year, so please help this cause, whatever you can give is the perfect amount, no matter how small. You can do this securely at www.gofundraise.com.au/juliaandpaul

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Best wishes

Julia
