Important Information
This free e-newsletter is borne out of a
passion for proper health education to be made freely available to
everyone (and don’t worry, your email address will never be given to
anyone else – it remains confidential). I am 100% dedicated to finding
and reporting the truth on topics that matter and I am also
100% independent, which means I take no
money from companies or products I may write about, and I cannot be
bought off by suppliers. It is also not my intention to sell you
anything in this newsletter and I promote what I believe to be the
absolute truth at all times. Sometimes people heavily promote a
particular brand of water filter, cleaning agent, health product or
equipment for monetary gain, free advertising or some exposure as a
result of their “endorsement”. I have never done this, nor will I ever
do so. It is my absolute joy and pleasure to provide scientific
information in this newsletter – for free! Hope you enjoy it!

General Health Newsletter – June 2010
A free
monthly newsletter by Sally-Ann Creed,
Clinical Nutritionist
Winner of SA’s Most Influential Women in Business &
Government 2009/2010
We’re into a very chilly winter here in Cape
Town and I’ve never seen so many poor souls with
colds, ‘flu and bronchitis in a single winter –
viruses are getting so vicious, and
opportunistic bacterial infections are becoming
more antibiotic resistant, requiring several
courses to knock them out. Diet and lifestyle
modification can make all the difference. Now’s
the time for mega-doses of Vitamin C and as many
antioxidant foods as you can eat! I have
covered many interesting topical subjects this
month in my
Subscriber E-Mag [more
information should you wish to
subscribe.]
I’m also excited to give you a preview of the
cover of a new book I have completed – called
Raising Happy Healthy Children – due for launch
on 10 August.
|
RAISING
HAPPY
HEALTHY CHILDREN –
OUR NEW BOOK! |
 |
A book I
co-authored with my husband’s cousin, Andalane,
is a labour of love. Andalene has done the
discipline and I have done the nutrition
required from 0 (pregnancy) to 6 years old. We
hope it will be a valuable companion for all new
mums out there!
This book has already attracted an enormous
amount of attention so far. We believe this
will be a definitive guide for new parents on
things not previously seen in any child-rearing
book. It has grown out of our own experience,
and
|
|
has now been put together in a simple, easy to
understand format which will be easy to apply as
well. No fads, no sweat – just helpful
information which we pray will be life-changing.

The Truth about Flaxseed Oil and
Fat Loss |
|
Read a great article by
Christian Finn – so many
people are now coming
out with the truth about
flaxseed oil it’s a
blessing to know that
people want truth over
clever marketing. So
here’s a little of
what’s in the article
with quotations marks:
“…many don't realize
that the omega-3 fatty
acids found in
plant-derived products
are not the
same as those in
fish. Nor have they been
proven to deliver the
same kind of benefits.”
And again – he says
“Although similar in
structure, the benefits
of ALA, EPA, and DHA
are not the same.”
He ends with this: “In
fact, despite the hype,
I haven't been able to
find a single human
study to show that
alpha-linolenic acid,
the omega-3 fatty acid
found in foods like chia
seeds or flaxseed oil,
has any impact on body
composition whatsoever.”
Read more here if
you wish to. My
experience with so many
people is that they have
reported excessive
weight gain on
flaxseed oil, and no
benefit whatsoever.
When they changed to
fish oil, however, there
was a huge improvement
in their symptoms, with
weight loss in those who
needed it (as fish oil
mobilizes body fat), and
weight stabilization in
already slim people.
I’ve also quoted a
really good article in
the June E Mag on this
subject by another USA
health professional. |

Q
& A:
Plant & Animal Omega-3’s |
|
Q:
What is the difference between
plant and fish omega-3 oils? |
|
A:
It just so happens that Dr
Mercola has an article this
month I’ll quote from in answer
to this below:
“The
Significant Difference Between
Plant- Versus Animal-Based
Omega-3 Fats
Unfortunately there is still
plenty of confusion about
omega-3 fats as many “experts”
fail to appreciate the
importance of animal based
omega-3 fats [fatty fish and
grass-fed beef], as opposed to
just eating plant based omega-3
fats that contain ALA. It’s
important to realize that while
plant-based omega-3 fats are
necessary, highly beneficial,
and should be consumed as well,
the evidence is very clear that
they are not an acceptable
substitute for animal based
omega-3 fats.
This is primarily related to the
fact that your body does not
easily convert the ALA in plant
based fats to the longer fats of
EPA and DHA. And if you have
diabetes, are overweight, have
high blood pressure or high
cholesterol, your body has even
more difficulty converting these
fats. Animal-based omega-3 fats
contain two fatty acids crucial
to your health, DHA and EPA.
These two fatty acids, not
ALA, are the ones that are
pivotal in preventing heart
disease, cancer, and many other
diseases. Over 50% of your brain
is also made up of DHA, which
explains why it’s so essential
for proper brain function and
development.”

the full article. [DHA and
EPA supplements come from fish
oil by the way – and have
outstanding results!]

You may
have heard there is not much
cancer in China – not true at
all! A report states:
“The area of China with the
lowest micronutrient intake has
the highest rate of cancer.
Supplementation with vitamin E,
selenium and beta-carotene
lowers the rate.”
Vitamin/mineral supplementation
and cancer risk: international
chemoprevention trials.

Spiritual Health:
Life
is so short, so fragile and fleeting -
today may be your last, no matter how
young you are – are you ready to stand
before your loving Creator? He has
loved you with an everlasting love (imagine
that!) – and He wants you to know
Him and He wants to enrich your life.
His name is Jesus and the Bible says
that everything was created by
Him, and for Him. That means YOU
were created for Him. Isn’t that
wonderful? If you want to know more
about Jesus, or just need some guidance,
please contact one of us at my offices –
there are five of us here who are
willing to introduce Him to you, or even
just pray with you - phone or email us –
we’d love to help you! |
