Grass fed or Grain fed?


Up until the 1930’s all beef in America & other developed nations was grass fed, or “grass finished”, meaning that cattle ate pasture grass for the entire duration of their lives. These days, there is a large portion of cattle that spend anywhere from 60-120 days in feedlots being fattened with grain before being slaughtered. This cattle is considered grain/corn fed or finished.  Unless you are specifically purchasing grass-finished or "free-range" meat, the beef bought at your local supermarket or butcher will be grain fed.
So, what’s the difference?
Meat that has been grass fed until finish has about one-half to one-third as much fat as a comparable cut from a grain-fed animal. Lower in calories, grass-fed beef is also higher in vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids, which are thought to help reduce the risk of cancer, lower the likelihood of high blood pressure, and make people less susceptible to depression. Further more, meat from grass-fed cattle is rich in another beneficial fat called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which supposedly lowers the risk of cancer. The benefits of CLA are so widely acknowledged that some farmers who don't grass-finish their cattle add CLA supplements to their animals' feed once they're taken to the feedlots prior to slaughter.
Why then are farmers grain feeding?
Feeding corn to cattle in the weeks before slaughter has several advantages for the producer, including:
Corn-fed cattle gain weight much more quickly than cattle in a strictly grass-fed environment and can be produced year-round;
The current system of ranching is designed around the accelerated growth of cattle in feedlots, and since corn-fed cattle fit this model, they are easier and more cost-effective to produce, and result in cheaper products for the consumer; and
Corn-fed cattle produce the type of meat that consumers have grown to love and expect: a tasty, marbled, fatty meat with smooth, consistent flavor.
These points suggest that it is not about the health of the consumer, but all about the $$$. 
The Facts!
A literature review conducted by Amber Abbot & Margaret Basurto, has concluded that ranchers who produce grass-fed cattle may rightfully claim the product is more healthful than conventionally produced meat.

The report says that three ounces of ground beef from cattle fed conventional diets contain about 41 micrograms of beta-carotene and a typical rib eye steak has 36 micrograms.  In contrast, meat from cattle fattened predominately on ryegrass has almost double the beta-carotene, 87 micrograms in 3.5 ounces of ground beef and 64 micrograms in a steak.

Beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A in the body.  While excessive amounts of vitamin A in supplement form can be toxic, the body will only convert as much vitamin A as it needs from beta-carotene.  Vitamin A is a critical fat-soluble vitamin that is important for normal vision, bone growth, reproduction, cell division and cell differentiation.  A three-ounce serving of grass-fed beef supplies 10 percent of the recommended dietary allowance of beta-carotene for women, compared to 5 percent from conventional beef.

The amount of natural vitamin E found in beef raised on a conventional diet is 3.7 micrograms per gram of meat.  The amount of vitamin E per gram in beef raised on the grass-based diet is 9.3 micrograms, a nearly threefold improvement.  A 3.5-ounce serving of grass-fed beef would yield 930 micrograms of vitamin E, about 7 percent of the daily dietary requirement. 

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with powerful antioxidant activity.  Antioxidants protect cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging byproducts of the body's metabolism that may contribute to chronic health problems such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Cattle's diet also significantly alters the fatty acid composition of their meat.  Cattle fed primarily grass have 60 percent more omega-3 fatty acids and a more favorable omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.  Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and help prevent heart disease and arthritis.  Omega-6 promotes inflammation, blood clotting and tumor growth.  Because the two substances work together to promote good health, it is important to maintain a proper balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.  The essential fatty acids are also highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be particularly important for cognitive and behavioral function.

Raising cattle on grass boosts the beef's level of a conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a lesser-known but important group of polyunsaturated fatty acids found in beef, lamb and dairy products.  Over the past two decades, numerous health benefits have been attributed to CLA in animals, including a reduction in cancer, heart disease, onset of diabetes and accumulation of body fat.  To achieve these benefits, the average person should consume about 5 grams of CLA per day.  A 3.5-ounce serving of grass-fed beef provides 1.23 grams of CLA, 25 percent of the daily requirement.  The same amount of conventional beef provides less than 10 percent of the daily requirement.

Details about the health benefits of grass-fed beef, citations for all the research used in this study, and additional resources for consumers, grass-fed beef producers and ranchers considering raising grass-fed beef are on the Web site, http://www.csuchico.edu/agr/grassfedbeef/research/health/index.html
So what can we do?
The good news is that there is a wave of farmers and consumers that argues for a return to the old way of meat production. They contend that feeding cattle grass is healthier and more sustainable for both the cow and the consumer, which is true!  We can play a part by ensuring we are only purchasing grass fed meat!

10 Tips to help you achieve.....


There are always times in life when we face a lack of desire or motivation.  Whether it be with work, exercise, or nutrition or general everyday tasks.
Motivating ourselves and trying to fulfill everyday tasks with enthusiasm is the key to achieving goals, many a times we find that stagnancy creeps in our lives.
There is no simple solution for a lack of motivation. Even after beating it, the problem reappears at the first sign of failure. The key is to understanding your thoughts and how they drive your emotions. 
By learning how to nurture motivating thoughts, neutralize negative ones, and focus on the task at hand, you can pull yourself out of a slump before it gains momentum & work towards ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS!

Lets look at 10 steps we can all use to get and stay motivated!
1.     Write down your goals & update them regularly – Keep a list of your goals & if you've reached a plateau, go over your goal list and see what you can alter to get started again. Making higher level goals will re-energize you to achieve.
2.     Divide the things you have been putting off into simple steps – Divide and conquer.  We all have things we don’t like doing, but they are necessary for getting other things done.  Try dividing them up into simple steps, and start working on them first thing. Once you get over the procrastination & start implementing the steps as they are you will start to feel more motivated to do them more effortlessly & start to realize that a task that once looked laborious is almost complete!
3.     Do something for someone else – So many times we find that we lack self motivation to do activities concerning ourselves.  Try doing something for someone else, it will help remove procrastination & leave you feeling good knowing that you have helped someone!
4.     Keep good company – Do you have people that you aspire to be like?  That are motivated & always achieving their goals.  Spend some time with them, their habits will assist you with your motivation & you may even find they become a mentor in your journey to achieving your own goals.
5.     Negate the negative thought – As and when, you notice it; the negative thought you’re brooding on, just negate it.  As soon as you are aware that you are into a negative thinking process, just make it affirmative.  Even if you say it once, it makes a difference – it changes the direction of the thought process at a subconscious level!
6.     Give yourself compliments.  Don’t wait for others to! – If you feel you are looking good, tell yourself!  If you have finished a task or achieved a goal, pat yourself on the back for achieving it – you deserve it!
7.     Find Inspiration! – Read stories of people who have achieved their goals, if they can do it then so can you!
8.     Catch up with people that you haven’t seen in a while – How good does it feel to tell someone what you have been up to and what you are achieving.  It’s refreshing to hear their surprise and praise for how far you have come.  It can also help you to refocus & reassess where you are at.
9.     Take time out to do something you love -  No matter how busy you are or how far you have got to go, its important to find something that you love doing & to take time out to do it.  By doing this it will elevate your mood and you will be able to then focus on fulfilling more mundane activities with energy and enthusiasm.
10  Don’t forget to SMILE! – Whether you are smiling at yourself or at someone else, it is important to smile regularly.  You never know what someone else is going through, your smile may be just what they need.  Smiling is going to elevate your mood instantly & get you through even the most arduous of tasks!

No time like the present to start, Let us know how you go!

Have you had your hydrogen today?


Today's post comes from Vitality Plus, where they share with us the benefits of MegaHydrate®.

Free radicals are unstable molecules created by poor diet, stress, pesticides, pollution, electronic devices and, even naturally, by the normal biological processes of the body. Free radicals attach themselves to a stable molecule within the body and steal its electron. After the stable molecule loses its electron, it becomes a free radical. This continuous chain reaction results in cellular damage to the body, allowing disease and premature degeneration to take place.
The proliferation of free radicals has been linked to an absolute multitude of ill health conditions. Antioxidants neutralise free radicals by donating one of their own electrons. Of course, once the antioxidant donates its electron, it becomes a weaker free radical itself, in search of another electron.
What your body needs is a Super Antioxidant. Now, a major scientific break discovery has made just such an antioxidant available, providing a quantum leap in health protection.

What is Zeta Potential?
MegaHydrate contains the active ingredient Silica Hydride, a compound known to positively affect the "zeta potential" of blood cells. Zeta potential (x) is the electric potential, or charge, that exists in a hydrated particle and the surrounding solution. Zeta potential is an important and useful indicator that this charge can be used to predict and control the stability of colloidal suspensions. The greater the zeta potential, the more likely the suspension will be stable because the charged particles repel one another and thus overcome the natural tendency to aggregate. Zeta potential is an electrical charge that describes how far apart cells are. Greater zeta potential indicates more space between cells.
Increased zeta potential has many positive health benefits. More zeta potential means more surface area for cells. Toxins, viral matter, fungi, and bacteria trapped between cells can be expunged more readily. More importantly, water enters cells more easily. Water is arguably the most vital component of anti-aging, life extension, and the removal of free radicals and waste.†

The Water We Drink

The water we drink differs substantially from the water that surrounds our cells and tissue. Tap water has a surface tension of approx. 73 dynes. The water around our cells has a surface tension of approx. 45 dynes. It is necessary, therefore, that the body reduce the surface tension of water we consume in order for nutrients to pass through cell walls, and for toxins to pass out of the cells. To do this the body requires continually replenished levels of negatively-charged hydrogen ions.

As was mentioned earlier, in addition to hydration, MegaHydrate is the most powerful known antioxidant food. Since it is an "pure" antioxidant that does not turn into a free radical itself. Taken daily, MegaHydrate delivers far more Hydrogen ions than by eating kilograms of raw fruits and vegetables or drinking gallons of "healing waters", also known as "glacial milk."

What is Glacial Milk?

It was reported in Hunza, West Pakistan, that Hunzukuts enjoyed outstandingly excellent health and amazing longevity. Although some have questioned the details and accuracy of the records of Hunza longevity, others have tended to support the claims that individuals had exceptional health and were indeed long-lived.
A team of cardiologists observed and reported that the heart health of the centenarians in this area was exceptionally good and may have been a factor of delayed aging. The good health and longevity was attributed in significant part to the use of glacial milk for irrigation of crops and for drinking. Glacial streams throughout the world are abundant in amorphous silicate minerals, many of which are in the nanoparticle (<1 ยต) size range.

For over three decades, Dr. Patrick Flanagan studied the remote regions of the world where these people live healthy active lives past the age of 100 years. While the diets in these regions differed dramatically, Dr. Flanagan discovered the amazing fact that the drinking water in these regions was almost identical and came from frozen glaciers that had melted. This water, known in some circles as "glacial milk," displays some very distinct physical differences from the water that most of the civilized world is drinking.
The surface tension of glacial milk is much lower. This means that the water can be absorbed directly into the cells of the body with much greater ease facilitating hydration and nutrient uptake. It also means that waste materials can be removed from the cells more easily by the same life-giving water. Dr. Flanagan also discovered that glacial milk, or "life water", had very distinct physical properties of viscosity, heat, and energy potential.
After decades of laboratory and field research and study, Dr. Flanagan uncovered what may be the most important discovery about the true nature of hydration. He discovered why the waters are so different and can hydrate the human cell so effectively where people of these remote regions live well past 100 years of age.

How does this discovery help you?

In an effort to develop a concentrated and powerful antioxidant, Dr Patrick Flanagan, looked at all the chemical elements and realised that the smallest, but most abundant, element in the universe, hydrogen, would provide the most concentrated source of antioxidant power.
If you're supplementing antioxidants to your diet, you probably consume Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Beta-Carotene, Selenium and OPC's from grape seed or pine park. These antioxidant compounds consist of large complex molecules, but no matter how large they are, they each give up only one electron.
Each capsule of MegaHydrate contains hydrogen-enhanced silicate mineral, a compound of silica and hydrogen atoms modified to contain a loosely-bound extra electron. The extra electron is freely given to neutralise free radicals. Because hydrogen is the smallest known element, MegaHydrate can provide thousands of these electrons in each calsule. It is the only known form of antioxidant that does not become a free radical in the process of losing an electron.

Benefits to your body

MegaHydrate® raises the alkalinity of the extracellular fluid which surrounds your cells. An alkaline, versus acidic, environment is believed to be one of the major dererrents to tissue damage, aging and the growth of disease organisms. MegaHydrate® challenges the symptoms of dehydration and minimizes the process of aging.
Humans need Hydrogen to survive. Hydrogen is the key to long life and anti-aging. However, due to mass food production, mineral deficient soil, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, over-processing of foods, chemical preservatives, and drinking over-chlorinated and over-fluoridated water, people do not get enough Hydrogen ions daily.Body cells become damaged, hydration levels decrease and cells age.
In a state of dehydration, body cells cannot assimilate nutrients, remove waste and relieve pain. This is no more apparent than can be seen with conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia. Dehydration also occurs as a side effect of caffeine, alchohol and stimulants. MegaHydrate also helps fight the negative effects of alcohol, stress, and free radicals as part of aging.

How Do We Normally Get Hydrogen in Our Diet?

When plants absorb sunlight, they store negatively-charged Hydrogen ions through the process of photosynthesis. When you eat unprocessed plants (RAW FRUITS AND VEGETABLES), your body's cells utilise the nutrients in those plants and, perhaps more importantly, the electrical charge of the Hydrogen ions in those plants. When your body burns Hydrogen and Oxygen, it generates the energy you need for every single process of life.
MegaHydrate® is a dietary supplement that is considered a food grade supplement rich in antioxidants by the FDA. Antioxidant foods like MegaHydrate help defy the aging process. It is safe, having been tested and shown to have no known side effects.

Pull the trigger on emotional eating!

Eating a healthy diet isn't just about what you eat.  We all know to some degree, what types of foods are considered healthier, and what types of foods we think we should avoid.  Many of us though, don't take the time to identify WHY we eat.  Yes, we eat because we are hungry, or because we need energy - But is that always the case?  Without realising, we often eat because of situational or emotional triggers.


Food is great, especially when it tastes good. It can bring people together, it can provide entertainment and nourishment, it even provides an income for some;  What food also provides is comfort. How many times have you thought - Gee its cold outside, I'd love to eat something nice and warm! Or, my favourite - Ergh, my boss was horrible today, I hate my job, I feel like chocolate! 


By becoming more aware of why we are eating, we can ultimately gain more control over what we are eating & how we feel.  Eating emotionally often becomes a habit (that we are unaware of), which can prevent us from learning ways to deal with emotional stresses, and in turn can lead to over-eating.


What are the triggers?
Emotional eating
Emotional eating can come about in many different ways. Nothing to do, are you eating out of boredom? Do you feel stressed or anxious, surely something to eat will make you feel better?  What about being upset or angry - chocolate is great!  Are you sick of spending time alone, feeling lonely - you may as well have something to eat, right? Emotions often lead to cravings of food and comfort.


Situational/Habitual eating
We all have activities and pass times that are associated with food.  The movies wouldn't be the same without a choc top or a bucket of pop corn, and the footy isn't the footy without a meat pie!  Take some time to think about it, do you eat whilst you watch tv because you are hungry, or because thats just what you do?  What about your lunch break at work, are you eating because you are actually hungry, or are you eating just because it is "lunch time"?


Physiological eating
How many times have you skipped meals because you are busy running around doing things?  Then later when things slow down you tell yourself you are starving because you haven't eaten all day! Is that headache you have really due to hunger, or is your body trying to tell you something else?


Social eating
Catching up with family and friends is great - it makes us feel fantastic.  How often though, is a get together associated with food?  "Lets catch up for dinner!" or "We should have a BBQ" are very common.  These sort of events naturally mean you are going to eat, but are you actually hungry or are you just eating due to the social occasion and because everyone else is?


Eating triggers, once you are aware of them, are not a bad thing.  By knowing why you are eating - there is more control.


How can Superfoods help?
Chocolate is a huge favourite when it comes to emotional eating - and there is a reason for this, it does actually make us feel good!  Chocolate is a highly refined overly processed form of the cacao bean that has been mixed with a number of unhealthy substances, including refined sugar and milk.  Its actually the chemical compounds of the cacao bean that makes us feel good.  
Cacao contains Penylethylamine (PEA). PEA is a chemical associated with love and optimism. When we feel good our PEA levels increase. Conversely when we ingest PEA rich foods such as cacao our mood also is likely to become elevated.  Cacao also contains Anandamide, known as the bliss chemical, it is a chemical naturally produced after exercise giving us a sense of well being. The brain rapidly breaks down this chemical so that its effects are not long lasting. Cacao is the only plant that contains this chemical and in addition contains enzyme inhibitors that slow its break down in the system. This is one of the reasons that cacao can give a longer lasting bliss sensation particularily in combination with the other unique chemical properties in the cacao.


Stress is a big trigger when it comes to emotional eating.  Maca, is a great superfood for helping us adapt to cope with the stresses of everyday life. Maca, much like many other superfoods and herbs is an adaptogenic plant. This means that when ingested by the body it has the effect of balancing hormones and nerves and stabilizing the musculature and cardiovascular systems in the body. What this means is that the body will utilize the maca as it sees fit. In otherwords if the body is under stress and requires rest it with allow it to do so. Conversely if the body requires extra energy in times of stress it will adjust to meet the circumstances. What this can mean for the long term is a slow building up of the bodies natural defence system which can enhance immunity against the pressures that one might encounter in their everyday lives. See our previous post on Maca, for more information on Maca can help you deal with stress and balance hormones!


With these factors in mind, it makes more sense to use some Tonic Superfoods Cacao Powder & Tonic Superfoods Maca Powder to make a smoothie the next time you feel like a bit of a pick me up rather than turning to something bad!  
By eating nutrient dense Superfoods, you will not only be making better decisions about what you are eating (whether it be out of necessity or emotional eating) you are also fueling your body with nutrient dense foods.  By ensuring your body is getting what it needs, it will curb cravings for sweet & undesirable foods in the future - breaking the cycle of bad emotional eating!

Tools of the Trade!

In our busy fast paced lives, the key to staying healthy is being organized.  As the saying goes “If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail."  Eating well isn’t difficult, it just takes preparation! I like to prepare my meals the night before, so I know they are ready to go & I have everything I need with me for the day! (It cuts out the need for the mid afternoon “naughty” snack!)

However, we don’t always have time to fuss around in the kitchen to make recipes with lots of ingredients.  This is why SMOOTHIES are a great option.  Smoothies are quick to make, easy to drink on the go & you can throw all your superfoods in for a power packed, energy boosting, nutrient dense treat!

Whether you like your smoothies fruity, with protein or packed with superfoods, I’m sure you will agree that a necessary component of smoothie making is a blender!  There are so many different types, so we thought we would give you a bit of a run down to help you choose what type of blender is going to suit your lifestyle & needs for SUPER SMOOTHIE MAKING!






Vitamix – (The King of Blenders)
RRP - $1050

The Vitamix is most certainly the top of the range blender.  Created to be used commercially, the Vitamix is fast becoming an option for home due to its various features and benefits.  It is the most powerful blender on the market, possessing a two horsepower motor, the Vitamix is able to create smoothies in seconds, as well as grind flour or nuts & cook soup! Yes, that’s right the Vitamix can cook a soup in a matter of minutes – throw all your vegetables and ingredients in & blend – the friction from the motor warms the soup whilst it blends! Convenience plus!
Besides its powerful motor, the Vitamix offers a large plastic blending jug  (2 litres).  The plastic jug is really easy to clean – which is very handy if you are time poor!  Also, the blades are attached to the blender base, so there are no pieces to take apart – also very handy when cleaning!
The only downside to the Vitamix, is it’s size – The jug is quite tall, which may mean that it wont fit on the bench in a smaller kitchen!
Overall, the Vitamix is well worth the price you pay for it, in fact it’s an investment, once purchased you will never need to purchase another blender again!

You don’t need the vitamix to be able to make great smoothies though, just about any blender from an electrical store will be powerful enough to create great supersmoothies in minutes for you! A more affordable option that is recommended by many of our customers is a Sunbeam blender.

Sunbeam – (The affordable blender!)
Several models available
RRP -  $59.95 - $219
Available from www.sunbeam.com.au
With options available at several price points, the sunbeam blender is a great choice for the budget conscious! All models come equipped with serrated ice-crushing blades (very handy if you are using frozen berries in your smoothie recipe!)  The bottom of the range blender possesses a 600 watt motor, which is ample for smoothie recipes where you are chopping your fruit up before throwing it into the mix, whilst their top of the range blender possesses a 1200 watt motor, which has enough grunt to handle larger fruits or vegetable pieces as well as nuts that have been soaked and softened.
Individual choice plays a part in whether you would prefer a glass or plastic jug – both are easy to clean, with the cheaper models possessing a 1.5litre jug & the more expensive models a 2liter jug,  The blades are detatchable for cleaning – which isn’t as easy as the Vitamix, but they do come apart easily, so cleaning isn’t exactly hard!
These blenders will definitely do exactly what you need them to do when it comes to making Superfood Smoothies!

Bamix – (The portable blender!)
RRP – From $119

The bamix is a portable hand held stick blender, which is great for traveling & for when you are on the go. The Bamix Basic model features a 140 watt motor, 2-speed controls and a detachable multi-purpose chopping blade that is more than adequate for crushing ice and making smoothies.  I would recommend using the stick blender more for smoothies that require the blending of powdered ingredients & fruit that has already been chopped up.  It is great for mixing up protein shakes!
The benefit of the stick mixer is that it is small enough to throw in your bag, you can have all your smoothie ingredients in your shaker, just add your liquid and blend in the shaker bottle!
Cleaning of the stick mixer is really easy!


VitaMinder – Power Mixer (Individual & On the go blender!)
RRP - $10-$15
Available from Amazon

The VitaMinder is an individual portable blender including a drinking cup.  It holds about 600mls of liquid & uses 4 AA batteries.  Obviously it isn’t anywhere near as powerful as the other options we have recommended – but it is still a convenient item for every day!  I would recommend this item only for powder based super smoothies – it’s great if you are just blending up some maca or cacao or even your Tonic Core or whey protein!
As the mixing stick doesn’t go all the way to the bottom of the container, I would recommend adding your liquid before the powder, so as to avoid lumps! 
Overall, this is a great gimmick & very convenient.

So there you have it, there are blender options for every lifestyle and budget! Start making super smoothies to give yourself energy & fuel your body with necessary nutrients!  Here is on of our favourite recipes to get you started!


Start your Sunday with a Super Smoothie!

SUPERFOODS, why so super?

So, you have heard the term SUPERFOOD being thrown around, but you aren't quite sure what it is and what it means?

You aren't alone! SUPERFOOD is a term that was originally used by the Japanese back in the early 1980's to describe food that was dense in nutrients. Things like spirullina and wheat grass were known as the original superfoods. As time has gone on common foods like broccoli have been added to the superfood umbrella.







So what really denotes a superfood?

As "SUPERFOOD" is not a scientific term, it can be used broadly to describe any food that is dense with nutrients that the body needs to nourish bones, muscles, major organs, the immune system & even your hair and nails. So what is in them that makes them so good? SUPERFOODS are packed with protein; in fact they exceed protein requirements! They also exceed vitamin and mineral requirements. By eating SUPERFOODS you are fuelling your body with proteins, Vitamins, Minerals, Antioxidants, Enzymes, Coenzymes, Good fats & oils, Essential amino acids, Glyconutrients, Polysaccharides & Essential fatty acids. By consuming SUPERFOODS the health benefits are endless. They can be used to help detoxify the body, achieve your ideal weight & to provide you with much needed energy & stamina!



As SUPERFOODS are consumed in their raw & organic state the elements of nutrition that they provide has not been broken down & the body is easily able to utilize everything that these foods have to offer.


By incorporating SUPERFOODS to your daily diet you will be able to increase endurance, speed and strength, train harder, focus longer, alleviate stress, look good and feel great!
