Chorella is the most popular researched superfood

Chlorella is a type of algae that grows in fresh water. The whole plant is used to make nutritional supplements and medicine. Chlorella is ranked one of the top 10 health foods in the world when you look at its’ nutrient density score. In fact, per gram it is way more nutrient dense than other greens including kale, spinach and broccoli! Chlorella is a good source of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, chlorophyll, vitamins, and minerals. The cell wall of chlorella must be broken down before people can digest it.

Chlorella is an astounding package of complete nutrition. All of its natural properties function together in a way individual supplements can't touch. Chlorella is famous for providing a vast array of benefits while fighting numerous diseases and conditions. Popular in Japan where over 10 million people use it regularly. The Japanese value chlorella so highly for its natural detoxification abilities. 

Its molecular structure, allows it to bond to metals, chemicals and some pesticides inside the body. It can be applied topically & can even be used as a natural plant fertiliser. Chlorella has been extensively studied as a food source since it is made up of a whopping 50 percent protein and is considered a complete amino acid-based food

"Chlorella's nutrients are undeniable. Even NASA has studied using chlorella as the one of first whole foods in space on the international space station"

Probiotics - Chlorella promotes the production of healthy flora, bacteria and probiotics throughout the digestive system. This is essential for good digestion and overall health, and also makes chlorella effective for fighting candida and yeast overgrowth(parasities). Its anti-inflammatory benefits can also work to heal the digestive system.

Chlorella has also been proven effective for: 

1. Balancing hormones (relieving PMS, regulating cycles, etc.) 
2. Treatment of ulcers

Chorella and Weight Loss

Losing weight is difficult, especially as we age.Chlorella benefits you by helping to regulate hormones, helping with metabolism, improving circulation, and promoting higher levels of energy. It also helps to reduce weight and body fat, and removes stored toxins.

Chlorella’s ability to surround the toxins and heavy metals residing in our bodies helps facilitate elimination and prevent reabsorption. Studies in Japan have shown Chlorella's unique properties may also have the ability to lower overall body fat the study showed Chlorella can reduce body fat percentages. This may be due to its ability to aid fat metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity (diabetes). Plus, when we replace nutritionally empty foods with powerful superfoods like chlorella, the body tends to crave less junk food because it feels more nourished. It may also help reduce both cholesterol and hypertension. Chlorella's cleansing action on your bowel and other elimination channels, as well as its protection of your liver, also helps promote clean blood. Clean blood helps assure metabolic waste get efficiently carried away from your tissues.

Look Younger 

Research continues to reveal that Chlorella may also slow the aging process, making you look younger. Evidence suggests that Chlorella greatly reduces oxidative stress, that can be caused from pollution, stress and a poor diet.The reason Chlorella is so effective at giving you younger looking skin is because it naturally increases levels of vitamin A, vitamin C and glutathione in your body which eliminates free-radicals and protects your cells.

 "By just taking 1 teaspoon or a couple capsules daily of a Chlorella supplement, you can see results in as little as 2 weeks."

Cancer

Chlorella is known for its remarkable cancer-fighting benefits, possibly because it is rich in natural carotenoids, which can prevent oxidation (a leading cause behind cancer and heart disease). Paired with its detoxifying nature and ability to nourish the immune system, chlorella is a natural anti-carcinogenic agent.

It is believed that all human bodies at some time develop cancer cells. Properly functioning immune systems have the ability to attack and destroy these cells, before they have the chance to take hold and create cancer. A recent medical study found that Chlorella helps fight cancer in several ways.

Blood Sugar And Cholesterol

Type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol are two of the serious chronic conditions facing western society today. Chlorella activates a number of genes at the cellular level that improve insulin sensitivity, encouraging a healthy balance. 

Working with Diabetes. Preliminary studies have shown, chlorella can improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels over time. This can prevent and improve conditions like diabetes and insulin resistance (metabolic syndrome). It is also thought that chlorella may guard against side effects of diabetes such as vision loss.

Chlorella and Spirulina

We have also seen that Chlorella contains the highest known source of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll helps in the prevention of the spread of cancer by increasing the oxygen uptake, therefore promoting cell reproduction. Many people have been taking Spirulina for years. They are both waterborne organisms, but at the cellular level, they are quite different. Both Spirulina and Chlorella have a concentrated balance of nutrients shown to help cleanse and detoxify the body, and a high concentration of protein that supports energy and clarity.

In fact, Spirulina has been used in the World Health Organization’s feeding programs for malnourished children in undeveloped countries. A single one-gram dose of Spirulina a day can counteract Vitamin A deficiency that can lead to blindness.

Chlorella’s protein levels, and combination of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients go one step beyond Spirulina. When used in together, their powers intensify. Chlorella’s tough exterior cellular walls are difficult to digest. It took many years of research, study, trial, and error to find a way for the human body to effectively digest it. The substance in these walls is believed to be what surrounds heavy metals, pesticides, and other toxins and helps to remove them from the human body.

Chlorella is at its best in pure powder form without any kind of binding agents or additives. However, tablets are acceptable if you can't find a way to work the powder into your routine. Look for broken cell wall chlorella, which has been processed to make the nutrients in chlorella more digestible.

Chlorella provides an abudance of nutrients in a whole food bundle which is far superior to any manufactured formula.

My Experiences With Detachment

The philosophical definition of detachment is non-attachment. The desire or ability to release control of things, concepts or people. A principle predominantly taught in Buddhism and Hinduism.

Detachment from all things that won't benefit your growth a the keystone concept that changes your life for the better. 

Early Life

I casually waltzed in and out of depression in my early teens, having this forthright view on life, that teenage 'I know it all perception'. Eventually realising that even when you think you know something, there's still more to learn. Of course, I only acknowledged most things through the perception I had and through observation of what my perception could see. Years later only to realise that you never really know the entirety of anything, the more experiences you have, of course the more it teaches you. Realising that what you believe is not predominantly the problem. It's good to believe in something but it's the way you go about it that makes it wrong or right, no matter your intentions. Try to approach everything with integrity, otherwise, you will draw the short straw. Often responding from lack of experience will have you recollecting your thoughts and wishing you had known better.

Fruits and Veggies In Season This May

Recently I've had the joy of being able to plant, prune and harvest organic vegetables in season. Since then I'm obsessed with in-season fruit and veg because it tastes better and leaves you fulfilled nutritionally you eat less because your body feels better about what you're eating. I also enjoy trying out new foods and seeing what they taste like freshly picked instead of freshly packed.

In the month of April/May I managed to get my hands on some rhubarb (I made a rhubarb crumble, asparagus with wild garlic leaves and roasted herby celeriac.

I've really been enjoying apricots and plums which are fresh and juicy this time of year as well! Also spring greens, sorrel, radishes, pak choi, lettuce, various potatoes, cabbage, pomegranate, grapefruit are just a few.  Check out some more in season food here.

Rogue Vegan Meals Incredibly Delicious Food

 

    Healthy Afro-Carribean food delivered straight to your door!

About Rogue Vegan Meals

Rogue Vegan meals are an Afro-Caribbean and Asian meal catering and meal preparation service. Eating consciously is at the forefront of the business, remaining aware of what different foods and substances do to the body. Making sure to include little to no preservatives, additives, tap water (fluoride etc) or soy. Rogue Vegan meals use strictly natural and organic whole foods and hope to include more variety as the establishment grows. The owners consider small details like using Spelt flour instead of wheat and quinoa for people with higher nutritional preferences. Making sure that they cater adequately for everyone not just the health conscious.

    Jaz and Lorre put time, love and positive vibes into the food they create and they say the greatest part is seeing people enjoy it!

I know I do! In between my own ups and downs with motivation, I really appreciate their food and what they do especially when I don't feel like cooking.

The Founders and Why Plant Based?

Jaz and Lorre are a vegan couple who both wanted to combine both of their ideals into their food creations and it's clearly part of the beauty inspired in what they do. With influences by many teachers including the legends known as Dr.Sebi, Laila Africa and Queen Afua. The food they cook is undoubtedly delicious, with Lorre being vegan 5 years and passionate about healing healthful foods and Jaz being vegan for 2 years yet still not wanting to miss out on her junk food favourites. They lovingly merged the two and created versatile yet creative meal prep's for everyone to enjoy.

Jaz highlights that there are 100's of varieties of foods to choose from aside from eating meat and that it makes you more creative with your food and your recipes. She believes that it broadens your horizons because you can become extremely artistic and innovative with your food. I completely agree, when I am flowing creatively food is and has become more than just eating. It's a highly experimental, inventive and expressive thing to do.

    This is one of my favourite things about ordering Rogue Vegan meals.

What inspired Rogue Vegan Meals?

In the beginning, they had a friend that wanted to try to incorporate more vegan meals into their diet. After asking friends and family whether they prepared vegan meals, it initially started as a 1 person venture. Cooking for friends and family which then expanded. Jaz and Lorre found that a lot of people didn't have time to make the food and most importantly they didn't know what vegans ate, what to make or where to start. Making traditional good tasting, balanced and wholesome food was difficult for many people.

These were a few of the many reasons The Rogue Vegans began meal preparation, to help progress and support the vegan community, helping the public to transition from meat. fish and dairy and also to avoid heavily processed foods. Without compromising on taste. They wanted to inspire people to include alkaline wholefood aspects with cultural Afro-Carribean and Asain favourites while remaining healthful, flavoursome and nutritionally optimised food.

The Mission

This year you can expect that The Rogue Vegans will establish a place of trade serving hot food weekly, with alkaline wholefood and fast food options available. Which I am so excited about, their food is mouthwateringly tasty. Not to mention fulfilling their desire to assist the larger vegan community with knowledge and information on a what to eat, recipes and nutrition. The future sounds delightful for The Rogue Vegans and Rogue Vegan Meals.

They have a youtube channel sharing different ideas on cooking vegan at home. For more information about veganism and their personal journey check them out at The Rogue Vegans on youtube and rogue.vegans on Instagram.

At the moment The Rogue Vegans do vegan meal prep and catering, they deliver all across London, with free delivery to certain areas. You can DM or call them for orders. Order on Saturdays for delivery on Mondays. Payments are accepted by direct debit, Litcoin, Dash and Ripple. (Due to faster and lower transaction fees. Crypto will be in future!)

Smiles all round,

From your favourite plant based crypto/blockchain advocate :)

What The Pitta! London's First Vegan Doner Kebab

Eating Meat Free More Often

What The Pitta, a completely vegan alternative to it's unhealthy original. What The Pitta doner kebabs, contain no saturated animal body parts or fats, the food is completely meat, egg, and dairy free and it tastes like something we should all try eating. Best Kebab I've ever tasted and the only one I'm likely to ever eat.

London's appetite for all things plant based is on the rise, as more realise how important it is for health in the city

About What The Pitta!

What The Pitta are big on eating meat free more often and being plant based vegan and so am I.  For the owners of What The Pitta it isn't about turning people vegan, its about reducing our intake of meat creating satisfying food that encourages people to reduce meat and think consciously about where our food is coming from. What The Pitta's mission is to support our personal and environmental health for each other and the planet. They support the global goals for sustainable development project and try to incorporate as many principles as possible into it. By choosing meat-free food you are contributing to the future of our planet thriving sustainably

Plant Based Vegan Fast Food

Turning vegan can be a difficult task, it seems there is, even more reason to care about your health then ever. Of course, that means giving up things like those meaty kebabs, that are all kinds of wrong for your health and the environment. With that said there are some foods that are just sentimental to us Londoners, kebab shops are everywhere. Even more, reason to try the plant-based alternative.

What The Pitta was even nominated the best British kebab awards

(because as kebabs go this is by far the best, hands down)

At What The Pitta you can enjoy vegan baklava, Turkish pizza (lahmacun), couscous salad, and mixed meze, tzatziki, bread, hummus and sauces all prepared from scratch, as all our food should be! What The Pitta's doner kebabs are made from non-gmo soya plant protein seasoned well and grilled for a that smokey kebab flavor. You can even have yours cooked without oil! I went for the meal deal 1. I got a fully loaded doner wrap, complete with all the fresh fillings. Straight away you can tell that the bread wrap was freshly made, it was light fluffy which complimented how the food was. After eating it, I was stuffed but it didn't make me feel heavy or lethargic. Which meant I had even more room for the sweet almond baklava for dessert and some PH worthy Saka water to wash it all down.

The perfect treat for a takeaway, it was my first time eating a doner kebab since turning plant-based vegan, I rarely eat soya but this was a worthy exception. They are not yet catering to the gluten-free champs yet but apparently, they will be in 2018. There are plenty of nut-free alternatives to choose from if you have nut allergies too.

What The Pitta is available via delivery at Ubereats and Deliveroo. They have 2 locations which is in Boxpark Croydon and Boxpark Shoreditch. You can find out more about What The Pitta on their website.

Yet no authentic experience comes with only good side my question to What The Pitta is:

I would also love to try some more plant based recreations of traditonal Turkish dishes, cater for us plant based food junkie's we appreciate it! Maybe even a soya alternative too?

Smiles all round

Patience Is Nature's Best Kept Secret

Patience, the more you have of it the better you feel.It's so much better to go slow, steady and simple, working things around you and gradually constructing the things you want, the way you want it. How much do we take patience for granted? How do you increase the amount of patience you have for something?

ALL THE MATTERS IS BEING PATIENT WITH YOURSELF

When you loose patience with other people or things, it may not be rightful but there is no love lost. When you loose patience with yourself, you loose everything. 

Meditating for at least 10 minutes a day should help keep you more routinely focused, aware and more self-disciplined and works wonders for low patience. Writing things down, or recording the way you feel daily helps you visualise where you're going wrong and address it. 

The mind can either trap your or liberate you when you find yourself passing the blame or just having too much to deal with too often. Think about how patient you are being with yourself, can you take this task slowly, do you have to skip so many steps ahead, so fast?

If everything you do is done with good intentions, slowly but surely. You're less likely to make mistakes or retakes. Your relaxed, calm and emotionally secure,  thought out in your decisions, your mindful in your actions. You've got this!

What Is Pumpkin Seed Oil Good For? The Amazing Benefits Of Pumpkin Seeds

Don't underestimate the potential of pumpkin oil; not just in flavour but for it's amazing health benefits, pumpkin seeds are virtually exploding with health and beauty benefits. Being rich in vitamins A, K and E packed with fatty acids perfect for strengthening hair plus potentially boosting hair growth by hydrating hair follicles but that's not all.

Pumpkin oil is the new superfood in town, it's a must-have, instead of coconut oil that is.

Pumpkin seed oil is a natural source of vitamins which strengthens the immune system, also improving physical stamina. It is rich in antioxidants and unsaturated fatty acids containing countless vitamins and trace elements (e.g. phosphates, sodium, calcium, magnesium, selenium, iron, zinc, copper and manganese) 

These excellent and useful components help to prevent cardiovascular disease, prostate problems and help the circulatory system function. It is also recommended for use during pregnancy, as it helps the development of the fetus's nervous system. Due to its antioxidant content, pumpkin seed oil slows down the ageing process. It is no coincidence that the beauty industry has discovered it, and recognises its benefits. 

Pumpkin oil has been used to fight off acne, cure scarring and promote skin renewal by retaining moisture with zinc and vitamin E improving the skin's healing process.

Pumpkin seeds and chia seeds are known in the top ten list of mood boosting foods, pumpkin seeds are one of the richest sources of tryptophan which increases production of serotonin a hormone that helps us feel relaxed. 

With its incredibly high zinc content, it has capabilities to boost your immune system and cell division increasing brain power and enhancing memory and focus.

Pumpkin seed oil has positive effect on: 

• Prostate Function – Reduces LDL 
• Cholesterol Lowering – Omega 9 
• Kidney Function 
• Anti-Arthritic – high fatty acid content 
• Diabetes 
• Anti-Parasitic 
• Increasing mothers milk production 
• Skin Care – Omega 6 , Vitamin E 
• Hair loss - DHT blocking properties

Beneficial for prostate health:

An investigation of alternative and complementary medicine in the prevention and treatment of

benign prostatic hyperplasia (prostate cancer) took place in just 3 months the international prostate system score were reduced, quality of life score improved after just 6 months mixed with saw palmetto oil , it was actually suggested as a satisfactory treatment using pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto oil as a clinically safe and effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Alternative Remedy for Male Pattern Baldness & DHT:

Being the most common type of balding in male affecting roughly 30% of men by 30 and 50% by 50. Which is a staggering amount? Yet massaging pumpkin oil is said to be a natural DHT blocker which can massively increase hair growth. DHT is a sex steroid, androgen hormone responsible for biological characteristics in males, deep voices, increased muscle mass etc. DHT is a potent androgen.

Phytosterols or plant sterols are plant compounds with chemical structures similar to that of cholesterol. Interestingly, phytosterols so closely resemble cholesterol that they can actually block food-based cholesterol from being absorbed into the bloodstream. The result is that both phytosterols and dietary cholesterol end up excreted in waste matter. Because of their ability to block dietary cholesterol absorption, phytosterols can help lower cholesterol levels.

Just one serving of pumpkin seed oil contains most of your daily magnesium intake, promoting tooth and bone health, reduces blood vessel tension and even promotes better focus. Magnesium naturally soothes aches and pain and is perfect for after workouts and even for arthritis. 

My favourite brand of pumpkin oil is from Pepo Papa based in Hungary, it's deliciously thick and tasty thus why they call it 

The velvety thick golden-green ‘elixir of life’ has excellent health benefits as well as being a great flavour enhancer.

and I love dressing my pasta and salad dishes with it. I also love massaging my scalp as a hot oil treatment it really does leave my hair and scalp glossy and moisturised. Get yours today! Head over to www.hunfoods.com for recipe ideas and where you can find this delicious oil!

How Did I Become A Holistic Health Blogger?

HOLISTIC LIVING & YOU

On the 1st March 2013, I officially turned plant based vegan. What that meant for me at the time, even I didn't entirely know. I had someone in my life at the time who wanted to go completely cold turkey and it was not only a drastic but very shocking transition. Just under 4 years later, looking at what I've accomplished since then is amazing.

When I first turned vegan I wanted to change my life 360, I wanted the opportunity to study and cleanse myself and totally channel my energy inwards. I began detoxing monthly and eating mostly raw for the first 6 months. Which spelled body weakness and having to adjust to a 2 stone lighter me, although my energy levels hit the roof, my skin cleared up and  I lost a lot of excess toxicity. My brain fog disappeared and all I wanted to do every day was put pen to paper and write. Which leads me to the title.

HOW DID I BECOME A HOLISTIC HEALTH BLOGGER?

Well, to begin with, it comes with no strict criteria, I've learnt spiritually and mentally about the wholeness of holistic living all by myself, a a natural life is a simple life, in my culture living holistically is how our ancestors lived. But it all really started from taking my journal online with me, from pen and paper to screen and keypad. The blog naturally becomes itself. 

Not everyone likes to read... over time I have noticed that unless you're really old and wealthy. A lot of people don't like reading anymore, remember that blogging should be for you first and not just your audience. Write about something you specialise in and live for every day. 

Having a blog or website to represent your personality, knowledge and findings is too priceless not just for yourself but the people around you and kiss goodbye to lengthy job applications, one look at your portfolio of work and businesses can see your speciality.

DID YOU KNOW I OFFER WRITING SERVICES...

Whether it be for transcribing those important notes, SEO optimisation, Content Writing, Online Advertising, Copywriting for all of your document specialist needs you can contact me! It's really what I do...

Guide To Detoxing On The Go

There are many ways to detox your body, some herbs are more potent then others.

Detoxing is so important before transitioning to a new diet. It reduces cravings and totally cleanses the body. Alkalizing the body, getting rid of excess toxins stored in fat, ailments, bad breath, ache's and pains.

In the same way you would clean you car and house, you should clean your body inside and out regularly. Toxins and chemicals are being fed to us in a variety of ways, we have heavy metal pollution through chem-trails, environment and air pollution, fluoridation in our water supply which is absorbed through our skin daily. Chemicals and preservatives laced into our food, which leads to a lot of the diseases we suffer from, from the cold and flu to much more severe cancer and Alzheimers. 

Activated Charcoal

Apple Cider Vinegar

Lemon Water

Baking soda water

coconut oil

papaya seeds

eating vegan

psyllium husk

bentonite clay 

moringa seeds

wheatgrass 

liquorice root tea

green tea

Sage/Ginger tea

garlic clove

fasting 

Try one of these daily for 10 days, each season. You should see any ailments you do have beginning clear up or get better.

Why I'm All About Natural Beauty

We are all made in g-ds image. But how often do we women feel that gorgeous and precious, even personally I have only started to learn to take good compliments from people and stop glaring at them like their crazy.

Be accepting, be a naturally open minded person and always decide to be at peace with the way you look. Even I wake up some mornings feeling like a pile.. I don't look in the mirror and admire myself all the time. But from a young age, I decided that although I don't feel or look remotely similar to anything I see around me. This is how I was made, I am human and I can function and operate just like everyone else. 

How I look shouldn't take over my whole life.

I was raised in a family of very natural women, my grandma a maroon was into natural bush remedies. My mother's favourite colour was natural tones and wood browns, the women in my family embraced what they were, even if they didn't have much self-confidence and this has been engrained in me.

How can this help my sisters...

I have been waiting, to absolutely rant and rave about natural beauty. Women.
We are created to be so curvaceous and mesmerising, take off the fakery the makeup and insecurities, don't let society tell you how to look, how to act and who to be...

stand against it,

make natural makeup

create your own style

and most importantly be yourself

eventually, you won't want to wear makeup at all!

I'm officially starting my all natural journey, by cutting my hair. Here's is me completely makeup free just healthy sun tan and castor oil/aloe vera/charcoal/clay on my lashes to make them grow. One day I woke up and said to myself everything in my life will change from this day. I want to pamper, heal and treat myself like the queen that I am. So I cut my hair, this will be great for massaging hair oils into my scalp for better hair and scalp texture, which means fewer products and a less maintenance for a more beautiful natural me! Inside and out! I want to help myself to help others.. love you all 13 times over.

Autumn Is Here

Autumn is approaching on the 22nd September and I can't help but enjoy the beautiful changes in nature and on the planet. Now is the time for us to enjoy our favourite berries (rosehips above) and harvest our luscious herbs and vegetables. Root vegetables begin to thrive as the beautiful autumn leaves greet the pavements. 

Now is the time to mix your herbal medicine concoctions of raw honey, orange, onions and garlic. It's time to light some beeswax candles and re-align yourself with all your surroundings. Get out those comfy jumpers and blankets and enjoy herbal teas to keep you cosy at sunset. Autumn is full of curiosity and wonder. Here are some pictures I took on a foraging walk in Enfield, London. Taking in my surroundings and observing the natures changes from flower blossoms turning to berries. Here they are!

Horsetail, retail price is £8 per mini bottle. A great tonic for colon and hair!

Hawthorn berries are good for coughs and colds when made into a syrup

Stinging Nettle Seeds great for alcohol and good for energy drinks!

Dock leaves are nature's cabbage, once cooked down with lots of seasonings to avoid the bitter taste!

;)

I can't help but scream the amazing things I have planned for the blog in the next few months, just in the planning stages! Stay tuned!

Vegan VS Green Vegan (Plant Based)

Veganism has transformed only 60 years ago food was less processed and manufactured.

Although vegan food alternatives are not as widespread as unhealthy food, you can pretty much source all of your favourite food alternatives. Unfortunately, this doesn't mean you're doing right by yourself, even if they're not animal products. Vegans nowadays are usually people who turn vegan because of animal cruelty they pretty much eat anything that doesn't contain meat, dairy or egg. Which equally makes no sense once you do research on what you're actually eating. Any artificial additives, colours or preservatives usually contain animal substances, since they do not occur naturally and are man-made substances. Even if they don't contain animal substances why are we eating chemicals and calling it food? 

A new rule to veganism is that vegans are not aloud to eat honey!

I have honestly never heard of anything so ridiculous, honey does not harm the bees. Making honey is the purpose of their lives, the argument is that bees are mistreated. SOLUTION: find a fair trade source of raw honey. 

Many turn vegan due to animal cruelty alone, they lack understanding of how the human body works. They are simply skipping meat and diary because it's the right thing to do. This is true animals are living breathing things, who feel pain just the way we do. Yet eating bountiful amounts of soya chunks, seitan, additives and preservatives are just as bad as eating meat (for your body) yet many people fail to realise that. Most ingredients included in processed vegan/vegetarian food is found in processed food and food containing meat. So it doesn't make you much better than the next fast food junkie. 

#GREENVEGANS #PLANTBASED

(My Spanish Potato Pie)

Thus why another category of vegans has come about, plant based or Green Vegans. Are those that are essentially much like the original vegans in that they mostly consume natural raw plants and vegetables. Some may cook and other's may eat raw, but either way they eat mostly fruit and vegetables or naturally raw products. With no added sugars, colours, flavourings or preservatives. 

Green vegans or plant based vegans, usually start considering more then just what has been added to the food. Non-GMO food is also important to plant based vegans, as it is essential to maintaining healthy DNA and fewer health problems in the future. Although yet again in comparison to other vegans and non-vegans the chances of any disease or deformities are much less likely.

Plant-based vegans usually tend to be people that listen to their body, question things more than other people and have strict discipline and focus. They're not easily influenced and are usually people guided by their own intuition. Naturally, they would have done some substantial research on the human body, pollution, agriculture and the food industry. Plant-based vegans tend to be quite strict, healthful, well-rounded and spiritual. Although the same rule cannot be applied to everyone.

Facial Product Review For Amen Simplicity - Simple All Natural Goodness

Amen Simplicity started only recently back in April but the standard of the products are really good! Amen Simplicity was born out of the need for skin products that are not full of toxins and chemicals. The owner at Amen Simplicity began making her own products at home and since then and her skin has never felt better.

I have to say that using Amen Simplicity has really nourished my combination skin, I was sent the customised skin care kit recommended specifically for me as I have a mixture of dry and oily skin. It only gets dry due to the hard water we use here in the UK. Her products leave my skin nourished and gives me that natural glow. Her night cream has to be my favourite its infused with patchouli, lemon, and rosemary prevent spots or blemishes cleansing my skin overnight, it also smells so good I really think it promotes sleep too! 

My second favourite is the creamy cleanser which I absolutely love! It softly cleans the skin and isn't harsh or abrasive. It is slightly on the runny side but I really liked how gentle it is on my skin. The purifying toner was the first vegan toner I've ever used apart from witch hazel and I think it's an essential part of this cleansing routine. It freshens up the face, and with ingredients like ACV it also works as sun protection. Last but not least the daily moisturiser, I loved the smell and consistency of this moisturiser I couldn't get enough of it, I only use a little bit at a time because my skin can get quite oily throughout the day otherwise, its comes in a nice bottle and I know it will last me ages. I have not had dry skin at all since using her products but I haven't had any breakouts either!

I would definitely recommend Amen Simplicity, a business that prides it's on simple ingredients which are vegan and chemical free without the huge price tag. Amen simplicity believe that beauty doesn't have to be a big ordeal and beauty is as simple as the ingredients used and I totally agree!  

Amen Simplicity is the first all natural product range I've used that is designed to fit your skin type

The owner of Amen simplicity has always believed that things in life should be simple in our bodies and in our homes.

Despite its piercing defense, the plant is rich in chlorophyll, and a good source of beta-carotene ; vitamins A, C, and E; tannins; iron ; calcium ; phosphates; and various other minerals. Nettle grows in nitrogen and phosphorus-rich soils, it's a great natural fertiliser too!

Nettles work very well as a survival food, thanks to their high-quality protein content and high levels of nutrients. Nettles can contain up to 25% protein by dry weight. A complete protein, with a good mix of essential amino acids. Nettle protein is easily digestible.

Dry on a sheet and use in nettle tea, great for allergies especially hay fever, also good for heavy periods.Or make into dumplings, old English nettle soups were popular too. I love to use mine in stir fries or steamed salad toppings/ stock. Much like spinach it boils down so always get a full bag and season well! The Nettle seeds taste much like coffee and are good for an energy boost too! The root can be used as a dye. 

Don't pick nettles that are flowering like the image on the left. Instead, pick the young leaves at the top of younger plants, these are the most tender nettles which appear in spring and can be harvested until the end of July before the leaves start to fill with crystals of calcium carbonate which can be gritty and unpleasant.

The entire plant is so useful! Yet so unappreciated.
