I made this no grain, kale, nut and seed bread today from The Ketognic Kitchen cookbook written by a fellow NT Patricia Daly & Domini Kemp. Delicious, protein packed bread, perfect with soup, hummus or poached eggs.

This isn't news to most NT's, however it's great that this is being recognised as a contributing factor for Crohn's, an inflammatory bowel disease. Fungal and bacterial overgrowth can be a result of bad dietary and lifestyle habits.Addressing these habits could be extremely beneficial to those predisposed to Crohn's and/or those already diagnosed with the condition. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_57e40374e4b0e28b2b52a67c?

Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disorder that results in inflammation of the digestive tract. Abdominal pain, severe diarrhea and fatigue, are among the most common forms of inflammatory bowel disorder.

Sounds like a good way to spend a Saturday. Learn how to make HEALTHY chocolate treats, for FREE! The health benefits of cocoa,the main component in dark chocolate , include relief from high blood pressure and cholesterol, improves cardiovascular health and brain health. It also helps in addressing copper deficiency, possesses mood-enhancing properties and exerts protective effects against neurotoxicity. Obviously chewing on raw cocoa nibs is going to be a much healthier option then a square of dark chocolate because even dark chocolate contains sugar but a healthy treat using good quality cocoa and using refined sugar free products to sweeten is going to me a much better option than your standard chocolate bar or sweets you find in most supermarkets. It's ok to treat ourselves every now and then, learning how to do it in moderation in key!

Ireland’s surface water has the second highest level of glyphosate in the EU. Glyphosate is the key ingredient in the world’s most popular w**d killer and has been declared ‘probably carcinogenic’ by the World Health Organisation. It has also been linked to birth defects, kidney failure, celiac disease, colitis and even autism; and poses a threat to the health of bees and other insects.Shockingly our Minister for Agriculture supports its use!

Ireland has the second highest level in Europe of a dangerous chemical called glyphosate in our surface water. Mounting evidence suggests that glyphosate is dangerous to human and animal health. So it’s shocking to see that our Minister for Agriculture supports its use.
