Thank You Ella from www.Chooktopia.com.au - you are truley a wealth of knowledge of all things sustainability!!
Whether you are recycling washing water into your garden, have kids with allergies, or simply care about the impacts your purchasing choices have on the planet, there are a few simple tips that can help ‘clean up your cleaning habits’.
- Avoid palm oil. Palm oil production is a key cause of rainforest destruction and threatening populations of orang-utans and Bengal tigers. Even so-called ‘sustainable’ palm oil has an impact, as it doesn’t support these animal populations that require rainforest not monoculture (single species) plantations, and depletes the soil over its 50 year lifetime, after which it is often abandoned. For a more information and a list of ingredients that are derived from palm oil (download the palm oil ingredient card), visit http://www.zoo.org.au/PalmOil

Smart, Conscious Choices will Make a Difference |
|
 Would you like to shop smarter, make conscious choices, nourish your family and reduce your environmental impact? I’d say most of us would answer yes! Many of us are becoming more aware of additives and try our best to feed our families chemical free foods and drinks, which is a really good place to start – this involves making conscious choices at the supermarket, thinking twice about what goes into our trolley and what we spend our hard earned dollars on. Something is sitting in a packet on the supermarket shelf. Have you ever considered where it was grown and what kind of process the food has gone through to reach your home? Sadly, we cannot rely on food manufacturers to do the right thing by us. This is very evident by the fact that Type II Diabetes, also known Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes (NIDDM) was once a problem of adult-onset but is now becoming more common in children.

Creating Healthy Family Meal Time Habits |
|
 These are a few simple tips you can use to encourage proper digestion and create a positive family experiences around food and meal times....
Don’t drink (large amounts) while you eat – liquids dilute your stomach acids causing inefficient digestion & all the symptoms that go along with this including bloating, flatulence, constipation etc. Instead of having a large drink, have very small sips during a meal or drink 30 min before or after your meals

With so much emphasis on getting our children to sleep, we can forget to look after our own sleeping patterns. There are many different levels and causes of sleep deprivation so let’s take a look at the causes and range of treatments. Insomnia is the perception or complaint of inadequate or poor quality sleep because of one or more of the following:
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Waking frequently during the night
- Waking too early in the morning
- Unrefreshing sleep
If any of these sound familiar then keep reading!
