Scott Mathias - Friday, October 14, 2011

Scott Mathias, the Creator of the iLifeFoods range of functional foods is a certified Integrative Nutritionist and Health Coach.

When was the last time you talked with someone about your health and received the personal attention you deserve?  It’s rare for anyone to get an hour to work on their nutrition and goals with a trained professional.

As a Health Coach, Scott creates a supportive environment that will enable you to achieve all of your health goals. Scott has studied the major dietary theories and uses practical lifestyle coaching methods to guide you in discovering which approach works best for you.

Most approaches to nutrition dwell on calories, carbs, fats, proteins. Instead of creating lists of restrictions and good and bad foods, Scott coaches his clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline.

No one diet works for everyone. Scott will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. He will also help you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals.

Scott practices a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that he looks at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As you work together, you will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.

Here is what one particpant said about her RAW Food preparation experience:

' Hi Scott, thank you soooo much for your fabulous raw food cooking class, & see it is certainly a way of living & mindset to adopt for wellbeing. Today I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast smoothie & tomato/spaghetti lunch - love the simplicity & fresh flavours & more than anything enjoyed the preparation - already feel healthier! Was incredibly tired yesterday after a month of work & little rest, so your day was well needed for me. Slept well last night & energy picking up today - BP has even reduced overnight - don't often check my BP regularly, however was interested in a benchmark from yesterday. It was lovely sharing your class with other beautiful souls. Looking forward to your next workshop creation - see you soon Mariannje x

Your cravings might be killing you?

Scott Mathias - Tuesday, August 23, 2011
What is it you are really needing in your life to satisfy an ‘physio-emotional’ need.

Look at the foods, deficits and behaviors in your life that are the underlying causes of your cravings. Many people view cravings as weakness, but really they are important messages meant to assist you in maintaining balance. When you experience a craving, deconstruct it. Ask yourself, what does my body want and why?

The eight primary causes of cravings are:

 1. Lack of primary food. Being dissatisfied with a relationship or having an inappropriate exercise routine (too much, too little or the wrong type), being bored, stressed, uninspired by a job, or lacking a spiritual practice may all cause emotional eating.

  2. Water. Lack of water can send the message that you are thirsty and on the verge of dehydration. Dehydration can manifest as a mild hunger, so the first thing to do when you get a craving is drink a full glass of water.

 3. Yin/yang imbalance. Certain foods have more yin qualities (expansive) while other foods have more yang qualities (contractive).

 4. Inside coming out. Often times, cravings come from foods that we have recently eaten, foods eaten by our ancestors, or foods from our childhood.

 5. Seasons. Often the body craves foods that balance the elements of the season.                                            

6. Lack of nutrients. If the body has inadequate nutrients, it will produce odd cravings.

 7. Hormones. When women experience menstruation, pregnancy or menopause, fluctuating testosterone and estrogen levels may cause unique cravings.

 8. De-evolution. When things are going extremely well, sometimes a self-sabotage syndrome happens. We crave foods that throw us off, thus creating more cravings to balance ourselves.

From an integrative nutrition stand point the emotional relationship we have with food can either allow us to be fully rounded and satisfied human beings or ‘ humans going no-where’.

Sometimes too we might need to replace lost minerals from our biosystem too. For-instance a need for magnesium might be a craving for chocolate but rather than going down that slippery slope why not go after raw nuts and seeds, legumes, fruits which will not only meet the need for mag but also satisfy any sugar craving as well.

Phosphorous, sulfur, iron  and salt (NaCl) needs might send you off to coffee and tea yet a good and regular diet of chicken, beef, liver, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts, legumes along with seaweed, greens, black cherries might just be the answer. Without doubt food and emotions are linked.

Inflammatory distress including arthritis ? The humble Cherry and Rain Plum may be the answer !!!

Scott Mathias - Thursday, June 09, 2011
More sophisticated research into chronic inflammation in the past 20-30 years has linked bodily inflammation to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular problems, osteoporosis, cognitive decline, cancer and Alzheimer's. Inflammatory responses are designed to stimulate the body's defence systems to battle and recuperate infections and injuries.

Temporary swelling and irritation can be side-effects of the process as the immune system invades affected areas.

 But for many people something has gone awry in the supposedly temporary inflammatory response, leading to a more permanent form of inflammation that has been linked to a host of other health issues.

 'Chronic Inflammation' made the front cover of Time magazine on February 23, 2004, as the famous weekly news journal explored what it called at the time, "circumstantial" evidence linking inflammation to a wider pool of ailments typically experienced by middle-aged and mature aged people.

 "This concept is so intriguing because it suggests a new and possibly much simpler way of warding off disease. Instead of different treatments for, say, heart disease, Alzheimer's and colon cancer, there might be a single, inflammation-reducing remedy that would prevent all three," said TimeMagazine.

 Nutritional intake is almost always responsible for the presentation of an illness or chronic biological imbalance leading to the possibility of bodily inflammation. In short the immune system is struggling to deal with an out-of-control biosystem - a bit like stabilisers on a ship working overtime to counterbalance the sway of the vessel from one side to another. It's the same in the body as the  immune system works overtime to counterbalance inflammation as a result of infections, parasites, fungus, moulds and other pathogens which have invaded the body.

  Through our research we have found that cherries, which  enjoy a high media profile, have beneficial effects on inflammation as well as arthritis. Researchers have discovered the reason being that cherries have distinct anti-inflammatory properties, as reported by The American Arthritis Foundation.

'Drinking tart cherry juice mixed with water three times a day may be beneficial for some people with arthritis. Cherries also contain varied antioxidants, including kaempferol and quercetin. These compounds, particularly quercetin, may have anti-inflammatory effects that are similar to those of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen)'.

 Emerging evidence links cherries to not only help ease the pain of arthritis and gout, but also to reducing risk factors for heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers. Cherries also contain melatonin, which has been found to help regulate the body’s natural sleep patterns, aid with jet lag, prevent memory loss and delay the aging process.

  Tart cherries contain anthocyanins. These were found to prevent free radical damage and inhibit cyclooxygenase enzymes better than some anti-inflammatory drugs that work as  inhibitors. It also turns out that cherries contain flavonoids and antioxidants that have a protective effect on the stomach. It seems that nature has thought of everything. Researchers believe there's strong  evidence to add cherries to your daily diet. But these are not always available.

 iLifeFoods Wild Cherry and Rain Plum single serve sachet fruit crystals come jammed packed with goodies including the extra boost from the enzymes and antioxidants in the plum. Simply add water to the pure fruit crystals and you have a powerful combination of Cherry and Rain Plum juice.
