Strawberries

I mentioned the benefits of blueberries a few days ago, but there’s another berry that is as beautiful on the outside as it is for your body: Strawberries!

Were you aware that strawberries are super dense with Vitamin C? Why is this important? The powerful (and necessary) antioxidant Vitamin C is essential for helping build and repair the body’s tissues, boost immunity, and fight excess free radical damage.

Studies have shown that Vitamin C promotes healthy eye function and could potentially help us prevent facial wrinkles! Pass me the strawberries!

At 49 calories per serving, there is no reason you can’t reap the benefits of eating your berries! (Unless, of course, if you’re allergic!)

Go about the rest of your day knowing that your serving of these beautiful berries also packs more than a quarter of the suggested daily value of manganese, as well as a respectable amount of dietary fibre (3 grams, to be exact).

I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!

Emma Alexander-Cook.

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
