Dear tired, overwhelmed parents,

I know you are too tired, stressed and hungry to stand up to your kids when they pester you for junk food – after all it’s packaged so beautifully, it is so bloody tempting to take the drive thru option. I was so surprised recently – I was busting to go to the loo. It was 11am Sunday morning and the nearest loo just had to be maccas! I was blown away at how many families were in there eating fries and big macs on a Sunday morning.

This is a difficult but necessary topic – it is time to be brave and be a bit hard lined with your kids. I understand that you have to choose your battles carefully as a parent. No one else will take responsibility for your children’s food education – well perhaps big food companies will misguide your children with the use of advertising and marketing. May I suggest this is not what you really want if you want your children to be fit and healthy. I am assuming that all parents want their children to grow up fit, strong, healthy, clever and free from lifestyle related illnesses.

Here at Passion4Juice we have been working the Summer festival circuit for more than 10 years, both in the UK and Oz. It has been interesting watching the diverse range of men come and sample our delicious juices and smoothies. 10 years ago a man would wander into the dome and maybe order an orange juice? But now… men are happy to come in for a Life-Saver, a Go-Green-Go or a Passion-Potion©. How times have changed, where men are now more open to new and interesting flavours, tastes and juices…

Here at Passion 4 Juice HQ we have been serving up a treat in our inflatable juice dome for over 10 years. Bringing wraps, delicious smoothies and of course our wonderful juices. But it has only been in the past few years men have embraced the concept of juicing and its benefits.

Ideas on How To Relieve Stress with Fruit and Vegetables

The vegetable of all vegetables for you men is the humble broccoli. It needs to be in your diet and should be at the top of your list when it comes to vegetables. It’s rich with of iron, calcium, fibre, and vitamin C, meaning it’s good for the circulatory system, bones, and fighting against colds. Look at getting porridge back into your morning routine. There’s nothing better than a steaming bowl of porridge to spike your energy levels and provide you with hours of fuel. Oats are filled with stress-fighting and immunity-boosting zinc.

Natural ways to cure Asthma and Allergies

Asthma medication was a big part of my life. I could go out without my puffers and if I did I would freak out. From birth I had bronchial problems. Puffers, anti-histamines and carrying round an Epipen full of adrenalin were just part of my life dependant on drugs to control my allergies. At 14 I started juicing. I began with combinations like carrot and apple, I gradually progressing to more extraordinary and unusual taste sensations. Now I love anything with ginger and a chunk of turmeric.

Asthma and allergies are indicators that the body has resorted to an increase in production of histamine. This is the sensor for the metabolism of water and its distribution within the body. According to Dr F Batmanghelidj in his wonderful book “Your Body’s Many Cries For Water”, when the body is adequately hydrated (link to blog of hydration) histamine activity will remain unexaggerated. When the body is dehydrated, histamine activity becomes exaggerated for water regulation and this has a knock on effect for the immune system and lung function. I wish I had read this book while I was growing up. Anyone with allergies and asthma in the family should get a copy of this book.

My Journey giving up grains, sugar, dairy and now BOOZE!

Okay this is the scariest thing I have ever posted. It’s brutally honest for me to share and make this commitment publicly. Please I ask for support in this journey. If you want to join me in this goal let me know. I know many of us struggle with eating the wrong foods, drinking too much, not taking enough exercise. But you are not alone. Maybe you too are being stubborn and not listening to your inner voice.

My aim is to break my goal down to one day at a time and live free of alcohol. I need to make my goal achievable, specific and easy to measure. This is me being exposed. I eat clean, juice all the time and am continually growing and learning about nutrition. I have cured myself of asthma and allergies and am now in excellent health. You can read my blog about curing my asthma on this page. My biggest downfall, and now I really want to do something about is my relationship with alcohol.

Hi my name is Trish and I run a mobile juice business called Passion 4 Juice. Along with being a a Gold Award Thermomix demonstrator and mother of two lovely boys. We travel throughout the UK and Australia enjoying enless summers. At Passion 4 Juice we adore helping festivals feel better by providing them with our delicious, nutricious juices and smoothies,enery shots and BOOSTS.

I am in my fourth year of studying nutrition and even though I have had a keen interest in healing with the power of food since a teenager, Juicing has been my passion of mine since my Mum gave me a juicer for my 14th Birthday, together with a book called the Uses of Juices which I LOVE and still refer to regularly. My aim is to help people, with the power of juicing have more energy and create a healthier lifestyle free from pain and disease. I have experienced the first hand benefits of good nutrition such as more energy; increased tolerance of stress; balanced moods; and stable blood sugar. I suffered allergies and asthma for my whole life. So when I was 14 wrote a diary of my diet to help improve my asthma. My asthma medication was just part of my life. I had bronchial problems all my life. Puffers, anti-histamines and carrying round an Epipen full of adrenalin were just part of my life dependant on drugs to control my allergies. At 14 I realised my love for juicing and sharing my health tips with others was into turning a passion of mine. I began with combinations like carrot and apple, I gradually progressing to more extraordinary and unusual taste sensations. Now I love anything with ginger and a dash turmeric.
