Superfood Broccoli!

Did you know that Broccoli can help fight diabetes?

Broccoli has long been considered to be one of the healthiest vegetables because of its nutritional makeup. This superfood is loaded with fibre, calcium, antioxidants to fight cancer, and vitamin C to aid in iron absorption. It can also help treat type 2 diabetes, as it helps in combating blood glucose levels, too!

Aiming to eat Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables (cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts) several times a week is a good idea to reap the benefits of consuming it!

Broccoli can also improve your brainpower!

Choline is a compound that encourages the growth of new brain cells and neural connections, both of which are important for your brain and your memory, and the good news is that Broccoli is very high in choline.

Scientific studies show that a choline deficiency during pregnancy can cause neural tube defects in infants, so getting enough of it is super important!

Eating 3 cups of Broccoli each week is one of the best ways to improve your brainpower.

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.
