April 21st Workshop – Are you a victim of sweet poison?

Cost - £10 on the day. Book your place - The Nurseries 01280 848038

The experts have recently started to get concerned about the increasing amount of sugar and artificial sweeteners we are consuming every year. You probably already know that sugar;

• feeds cancer,
• destroys the immune system,
• promotes wrinkling and aging skin,
• Cause’s inflammation – the root cause of many modern diseases.
• Not to mention weight gain and dental disease

It doesn’t help that these sugars are a cheap preservative and a hidden ingredient in most processed foods – try reading some labels on the food in your cupboard!

I understand that this sort of information can make us feel confused and anxious

A few years ago I set out to find ways that I can still enjoy sweet foods with my family and yet still drastically reduce the amount of refined sugars I and my family consume.

We are not talking extreme measures – I just wanted to find simple ways to balance my sugar consumption. Ways that are easy to fit in my busy life as a working mum.

This workshop will remind you of all the reasons why you need to cut back on refined sugar – there might be a few surprises.

But then I will also share many simple alternatives that you can start to use instead.

Cravings for food especially sugar and carbs is a common symptom of 'Sugar Blues'. I will share some tips and hints to walk you through if this is a problem for you.

This workshop includes simple easy- to- make recipes to get you started – which you get to sample on the day – using everyday foods.

Is chocolate a super food? Come and make your own mind up!

The workshop wouldn’t be complete without herbs – and I will include a few that can really help.

The £10 cost covers the food and herbs you get to sample and taste, and also a recipe-book you can take home.

Thanks for today’s workshop, I found it really interesting and inspiring.
I like to garden and cook so although a Saturday workshop isn't something I would normally do, given how at ease you make me feel I felt compelled to come along when I received your email and learn a little more about all these herbs I have in the garden and see if they can help control my stress levels etc...
It was a really interesting combination of herbs you had chosen and I did learn quite a bit. I even feel compelled to put a scrapbook together! I am looking forward to running through all the notes later on today.
I will look forward to attending another workshop in the near future, a really enjoyable way to spend a Saturday.
