A member of the cabbage and broccoli family, it contains sulforaphane (particularly when chopped or minced) – a chemical with potent anti-cancer properties. Blending is a quick and easy, nutritious way to incorporate a variety of nutrients, vitamins and minerals

If you want things to change in your life, YOU must be the catalyst. Others’ cannot be changed; not by force or anger or resentment.

Are you afraid of change? Sometimes we hold on to unhealthy habits, memories or relationships for fear of loneliness, resentment and uncertainty. We remain stuck in limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviours. Our happiness, health and feelings are severely compromised when we remain closed and negative to life’s possibilities. mjedwards.ca/dev/me/ In these moments of internal pain, we never ask ourselves these two important questions: Is what I’m holding onto what I really, truly want? Ideally what would I rather take hold of to feel happy, healthy and free? For many years I held onto words: hurtful, horrible, hateful words that people had said to me

Lose Weight – Your health depends on it. If you are facing health issues such as chronic inflammation, diabetes, cardio-vascular risks, auto-immune condition, hormonal imbalances, insomnia, depression, cravings, high blood pressure and arthritis – then you need to seriously attend to the extra kilo’s you are carrying around. Quite possibly you are well aware that you have a problem needing attention. Very possibly you’ve been aware for some time but have resisted admitting that fact to yourself for whatever reason.

When you look in the mirror, are you seeing yourself as you ARE or how you FEAR? To be a confident, self-assured and secure woman in today’s society, we’re challenged to escape the media bombardment we face at every turn: glossy magazine pages of digitally beautified models, reality TV shows with people looking anything but real, print media and radio marketing convincing you of the latest fad diet that you really need to try… Even on a good day one phrase, one word, one look can be all it takes to dent the hard won self-confidence of the woman in
