Planning a BBQ this weekend? Make it healthier and reduce the carcinogenic risks of flame grilled meat, by marinading and cooking with fresh herbs such as basil, mint, rosemary, sage, savory, marjoram, oregano, and thyme. Most of these herbs are rich in carnosic acid, carnosol, and rosmarinic acid - potent antioxidants that reduce carcinogens and protect the meat. Ensure your marinades are home-made (shop bought ones are full of sugar which increases the risk), and only marinate the meat for a couple of hours. It's also best to buy unprocessed, outdoor-reared, grass-fed meat. And, one final piece of advice - don't burn it!

Just read a really interesting article in The Federation of Holistic Therapists International Therapist Magazine on how a special balm (PolyBalm) containing polyphenol-rich bases and essential oils is helping to reduce chemotherapy-induced nail damage in cancer patients. The nails are especially susceptible to chemotherapy drugs which can cause nail disfiguration, discolouration, brittle nails, infection and even complete loss of the nail itself. In a clinical trial, the balm, containing Olive oil, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Beeswax and essential oils of Wintergreen, African Sage, Eucalyptus and Lavender, was shown to profoundly reduce nail damage and improve nail related quality of life. Another amazing example of how 'Mother nature knows best'!

Keep your heart healthy this Summer with red, heart-shaped fruits such as cherries, tomatoes, strawberries and raspberries. Red foods contain phytonutrient lycopene, which has a strong connection to good heart health. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that can neutralise free radical damage and may help to reduce cholesterol. Try to eat a couple of servings of ‘red food’ per day, ideally with some healthy fats such as olive oil or full-fat natural yoghurt to aid absorption.
