Top Free Android Health and Cooking Apps

Posted on 7th July 2011 | There are 0 comments. Why not be the first?

After recently releasing my first Android app and after having used a few apps myself since getting my phone, I thought I'd do a quick roundup of some of the apps I either use or recommend:

• Raw Food Secrets - This is a 45-page guide to everything about raw food, including the benefits for your health, juicing, sprouting, detoxification and more. If you are interested in a healthier diet, then this will definitely help you.
• Dinner Spinner - If you're stuck for recipe ideas, then this will really come in handy. Each recipe has photographs and is user-rated, so you can see whether other people have had successes or failures. Choose by dish, ingredient, or time it takes.
• MyFitnessPal - Enter your meals, snacks and drinks daily, as well as your exercise regime and MyFitnessPal will track all your calories for you. What makes this app stand out for... read more>>

  A Simple Weight Loss Trick

  Posted on 28th June 2011 | There are 0 comments. Why not be the first?

  Water is essential for our survival - we can live without food for several weeks in extreme situations, but only survive for a few days without water. This means the importance of drinking water cannot be underestimated. However, the majority of us are chronically dehydrated, and I see this time and time again in client consultations. My scales don't just measure weight and body fat but hydration levels too, and so many people don't even reach minimum hydration levels.
  
  If you imagine that your body is 75% water, you'll begin to understand why we have this water need. All our chemical reactions need a fluid environment, and one that isn't too acidic or alkaline. When dehydrated, our blood thickens and becomes more acidic - we slow down and become sluggish as our metabolism struggles to keep going as efficiently as it should.

  Are you ready?

  I speak to a lot of people about their health, it's inevitable. As soon as people hear that I'm a nutritionist, they seem eager to pour out their health issues. Sometimes they expect me to give them a full consultation on the spot and give them lots of suggestions for improving their health. I might give them one or two pointers but then I see most of them start to switch off. This is different from people who have booked me - they want my advice and do act on it, seeing some great results.
  
  BUT the main obstacle with the 'instant consultation' is people want to feel better, but aren't prepared to take any action. As soon as they realise that my advice would mean taking action, they don't really want to know. It's far easier to take pills from the doctor, or supplements from the chemist... read more>>

  Bye Bye Lincolnshire Nutrition, Hello Healthier Me

  Posted on 13th June 2011 | There is 1 comment.

  You may have noticed that the Lincolnshire Nutrition website has had a bit of an overhaul. The website has been redesigned, a new name has been chosen and a lovely new logo* sits in pride of place at the top of the page. This blog has suddenly appeared and the website has more personality and reflects more of who I am and what I do.
  
  I think it's really easy to pigeonhole nutritionists as people who help others to lose weight, but you know what? I do other stuff too. Like helping Gary get his blood sugar levels sorted through a healthier eating plan, or helping Gill future-proof her health, or aiding Mike in reducing some of his pain-related symptoms. You can see more people I've helped in the testimonials section, and I hope they show that changing what you eat really can really make you... read more>>
