FOCUS ON HEALTH
Modern diet leads to illness!
It’s not what you eat but what you absorb
Two Australian Naturopaths Stephen
and Shane noticed at the end of the 20th
century more and more of their patients
were experiencing gut, bowel and digestive
issues that were often leading to more
serious chronic health conditions. Being
Naturopaths they wanted to find what was
going wrong and began extensive research.
What they found was although their clients
were generally eating good food they were
not obtaining all the nutrients required for
good health from this food. Further research
showed one of the main problems was the
digestive system, “it’s not what you eat but
what you absorb.” Another well-known
problem is the soils the crops are grown in
have been depleted of many trace elements
and other nutrients that are known to be
essential for good health and therefore the
crops and food are also depleted. If we do
not obtain all the nutrients we require the
body will compensate to some degree but
a lack of too many nutrients will eventually
lead to health issues.
Based on this they
developed VITAL
GREENS, a nutrient
dense powdered
formula that
provides superior
absorption as well
as comprehensive
nutrition. They
decided on a
powdered formula
that could be made
as a great tasting drink because liquid
nutrition is the easiest way for the body
to absorb nutrients especially if digestive
issues are present. The formula provides
76 vital ingredients that work together in
synergy optimising each other’s absorption
and benefits. Vital Greens contains a
carefully balanced blend of nutritionally
rich greens, vegetables, fruits, minerals,
vitamins, essential fatty acids, plant and
herbal extracts, superfoods, powerful
antioxidants, probiotics, essential amino
acids, digestive enzymes, fibre plus a
uniquely alkalising pea protein. It provides
superior nutrition to a multivitamin and
anyone will benefit from it. It is designed to
provide all the nutrients the body requires
for good health. It is also ideal for those
in poor health, those recovering from
injury or sickness, children, athletes, poor
eaters and the elderly. It is also suitable
for people with dietary restrictions and is
gluten, wheat and dairy free. Vital Greens
will help remove toxic waste from the body
while supporting all organs. You’ll often
notice more energy and endurance, better
sleep, a more positive mood, skin problems
improving, less sickness, improved eyesight
and overall better more optimum health.

the maximum benefits from Vital Greens
as well as tastings is available from the

How To SupporT ANXIouS KIDS & ANXIouS ADuLTS!
The gut has a lot to do with how we feel & how our brain
functions. If it is out of balance we can feel moody, depressed,
anxious, nervous & more. The right probiotic supplements
help restore gut balance. Quality essential fatty acids are one
of our biggest deficiencies. They have a dramatic effect on
brain function. Parents often notice children are less moody,

Anxious Kids -
What can you do?
We are all aware that anxiety in our
children has risen considerably over the
last 7 years, the forces that rattled our city
have continued to rattle its citizens and this
has impacted on how our children exist
and respond in their day to day lives.
Of course this is not the only contributor
and it must be remembered that any
mental health problem is not a clear cut
issue. However parents, teachers, doctors
and other people closely working with our
children and young adults have noticed a
change in behaviour.
They are seeing things such as increased
irritability, aggression, separation anxiety,
sleep disturbances and moodiness. The
normal response of anxiety to a future
challenging event has become an out of
proportion reaction to normal daily events
and this is where the problem lies.
So what natural options are there to help
support children’s mental health?
Probiotics - Promote healthy balance of
chemicals in our brain
The connection between the brain and
the gut is key to understanding and
maintaining good mental health. You
need a well balanced microbiome (gut
flora), with an abundance of good bacteria
to ensure the creation and regulation of
neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters
are chemicals that send messages to and
around our brain. Serotonin is one of
these neurotransmitters - low levels are
associated with anxiety and other problems
such as depression. It is important to note
ARE YOU READY
TO DOWNSIZE?
Paying rates for a house that’s
too big? Paying maintenance and
heating costs for space you don’t use?
A move to one of our
architecturally designed villas
at McKenzie Lifestyle Village in
Geraldine will cut those costs.
Three villas are available for
occupation now, priced from
$355,000.

that the majority of serotonin is actually
made in our gut!
Fish oils - Reduce cellular inflammation
Fish oils are a source of Omega 3 fatty acids,
unless we eat at least 3 - 4 meals of oily fish
per week we generally aren't getting enough
of this essential fatty acid (EFA). The
result is an imbalance between this antiinflammatory
EFA and the inflammatory
EFA omega 6 (found in most animal
products, cereals, vegetable oils). Low
levels of omega 3 (particularly DHA) in the
brain can result in increased inflammation
and the disruption of signaling between
nerves, this contributes to conditions such
as anxiety. Taking a supplement that also
includes vitamin D will help increase the
absorption of the EFA’s.
B Vitamins & Magnesium - correct
nutritional deficiency
Low levels of nutrients such as B vitamins
and magnesium have been linked
to anxiety and other mental health
conditions. When we are under stress our
bodies use more of these nutrients and
our requirement is higher. B vitamins are
necessary for the production and release of
neurotransmitters, while magnesium helps
to regulate the nervous system. Magnesium
helps to relax, calm and protect the
cardiovascular system which can be put
under extra stress when suffering from
anxiety.
Theanine - promote a calm but alert
state of mind
Another really helpful nutrient is
L-theanine, this is an amino acid found in
green tea. The action of theanine is to relax
without sedation - basically it encourages
an alert but relaxed state of mind and
in doing so is very effective at reducing
anxiety. There are also other remedies
such as Bach flower remedies, essential oils
and herbs that can make a big difference
in your child’s mental health. Herbal
teas such as Passionflower, Chamomile,
Lemon Balm and Licorice are all helpful to
encourage a feeling of calm. Bach flowers
can be individually prescribed to suit the
individual child’s emotional personality,
they are very effective in helping to
reduce feelings of fear, loneliness, fatigue,
hopelessness, restlessness and sadness.
Our Herbalist Nadine, is available to
prescribe Bach flower remedies as well
as herbal formulas and give advice on
which nutrients are the most suitable.
She is available for private consultations
on Tuesday and Thursday 10-2pm and
within the store at other times.
