Fibre Intake Vital in Weight Loss
A study coming out of Massachusetts USA has reconfirmed that a single dietary change – an increase in fibre, is a simple more manageable addition to assist in weight loss.
Increasing fibre intake can result in having a more “clinically meaningful weight loss” when compared to a restrictive diet.
The Spinal Centre offers some tips to help you get to that magic 30 grams of fibre per day.
Vitamin D and Food Allergies
An Interesting study from Murdoch Childrens Research Institute highlights the importance of vitamin D levels in children to reduce rates of allergies.
We have be talking about Vitamin deficiencies for years and it still puzzles me when the latest medical expert gets on the telly and tells us that ‘don’t worry you get all your nutrients from your diet’. Ten years ago I would get laughed at if I suggested a patient should consider a Vitamin D test – particularly if they mentioned it to their GP.
‘We live in Australia. Your talking about the sunshine vitamin. No one in Australia could be Vitamin D deficient.’ Interesting how things change. Rarely would a middle age female patient come through now without a Vitamin D test, however no one seems to realise what the optimal range is.
Adults need to be somewhere between 100 to 150 for optimal levels. Fifty is way too low. If I had of asked for a child to be tested – I would probably have been up for malpractice.

Like all true Geelong fans, we believe that he will return to the fold. To win one more premiership in the twilight of his career.
Dreaming. Hoping. Praying. He is, after all, the son of god.
Ok,
Probably not going to happen.
But what is worth a mention is his diet.
Enjoy Avo’ Power – Ditch the Refined Carbs
If you want to stay warm during winter how would you get your Coonara (wood heater) going?
Well, you would probably use some kindling to get it started and then put logs on when you could.
You might use some small kindling initially.
But you know that bigger kindling helps get the logs going.
And it is the logs – like red gum – that keep you warm for hours.
