GINGER HELPS FIGHT FOOD INTOLERANCE
Ginger has long been
known for its healing and medical properties, everything from nausea and travel
sickness, as an anti-inflammatory and to relieve digestive health ailments.
Dr Cliff Hawkins, a
highly decorated biochemist from Brisbane experimented with a number of
specially treated and activated forms of ginger grown in the Atherton
Tablelands and Queensland’s Sunshine Coast which has shown to produce a number
of remarkable results.
The Biohawk range of
food supplement products have been of particular use for a number of common
food intolerances such as gluten, lactose and casein intolerance - some of the
fastest growing food intolerances across the nation.
The products have the
unique ability to help break down proteins in foods that commonly cause
intolerances, reducing the inflammatory response and the symptoms associated
with food intolerance which include:
· Pain in the gut
· Wind
· Constipation and Diarrhoea
· Reflux
· Hives
· Tiredness or “Fuzzy Head”
Exclusive to Calanna

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE
DANGERS OF DIABETES
Australia has one of the highest incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in the
western world and is largely attributed to our diet which has been increasing
in sugar intake and processed foods along with a more sedentary lifestyle and
increases in stress hormones, in particular cortisol. All of these have the
effect of increasing blood sugar levels in the body which in turn requires the body to produce more
insulin – an important hormone that
assists the body to absorb and utilise glucose.
When the pancreas has trouble producing or regulating the correct amount
of insulin to “mop up” excess glucose in the body, this is when we can notice
the first signs of diabetes - which if left unchecked go relatively un-noticed.
These symptoms include:
· Elevated blood sugar levels
· Increase in frequency of urination
· Excessive thirst
· Tiredness
· Blurry vision, headache and fatigue (common symptoms of high blood sugar)
· Sweating, dizziness, shaking and weakness (common symptoms of low blood
sugar)
The long term implications of Type 2 diabetes are huge and can lead to
chronic condition such as heart disease, poor
circulation, kidney disease and even blindness to name a few.
So, what can we do to prevent the onset of Type 2 Diabetes? Here are 5
key tips…
· Diet high in soluble fibre and fresh foods
· Moderate sugar intake (all forms of sugar!)
· Regular moderate exercise – at least 30 minutes 3-4 times weekly
· Regular blood sugar test
· Moderate alcohol intake
