Goji Juice: The Latest Buzz in the Health Food Industy!
The
latest buzz in the health food Industry is GOJI - the
Americanised version of the Chinese word "gou qi".
The botanical name for Goji is Lycium barbarum. The
Lycium genus has over 90 species of plants - It is Lycium
barbarum that is known in China for its medicinal properties
and is one of the most popular tonics used in Traditional
Chinese Medicine.
One of the key benefits of Goji is its high antioxidant
level. Antioxidants play a significant role in the body's
defence against excess levels of free radicals and the
damage they can cause. These antioxidants include carotenoids,
vitamins C and E and bio-flavonoids.
Goji berries contain very high levels of Vitamin C and
beta-carotene, high levels of the carotenoid zeaxanthin
(associated with eye health), and small amounts of Vitamin
E, which is very unusual for a fruit. Add to this an
extensive list of bioflavonoids, sesquiterpenoids, minerals
and amino acids and you can understand how Goji berries
are often referred to as one of the most nutrient dense
foods on the planet.
The current Goji market has been driven by USA MLM Company
Himalayan Goji. The first Australian manufactured Goji
juice on the market was Tree of Health Goji.
Tree of Health uses authenticated Lycium barbarum sourced
from China. "We use a high quality Goji extract which
has been independently tested for polysaccharide content
and antioxidant strength. We know it is a quality product,"
said Helen Russell, director of Tree of Health.

Summer's Here & it's Time to Get Active: The Cool
Way!
With the warmer weather finally arriving you may be
looking for a cooler alternative to stay physically
fit this summer. So why not give swimming a go! Swimming
works your whole body, improving cardiovascular conditioning,
muscle strength, endurance, posture and flexibility
all at the same time.
It's also a lower impact form of exercise when compared
with running, cycling or weight training. For this reason
there is a low risk of injury because there's no stress
on the joints, bones or connective tissue due to the
buoyancy of water. This means swimming is suitable for
a wide range of people from the elderly to pregnant
women or those who may be returning to exercise after
injury.
However if swimming laps doesn't sound like your thing
there are many alternatives in the water, such as Aqua
Aerobics or Deep water running, and the great thing
is all these activities will keep you out of the summer
heat.
When looking for a pool why not check out the many venues
that Belgravia Leisure manages. Belgravia Leisure management
group operate 6 swimming pools for local government
across the greater Brisbane. These facilities are as
far north as Dayboro and as close to the city as the
Valley Pool in Fortitude Valley. Other locations are
Murrumba Downs Pool, Albany Creek Leisure Centre, Lawnton
Swimming pool and Pathways Leisure in North Lakes.
So why not get active today and give swimming a try!

The Art of Handling Defining Moments: Emotional Intelligence
in Action!
Emotional
Intelligence is a concept that has currency in the commercial
arena.
At
its core are five personal competencies.
1. Self awareness of emotions.
2. Managing your emotions.
3. Self motivation, emotional self control, and getting
into the flow state.
4. Empathy.
5. Handling relationships.
The
notion of emotional competency or intelligence raises
a number of questions for each one of us.
o How do you know exactly what emotion you are feeling
at a point in time?
o How do you manage your way out of one emotion and
into another more productive emotion?
o What is the state of emotional flow and how can it
be used to benefit your goals?
o How do you empathise‚ without triggering your own
emotional reaction?
o How do you know your emotions have integrity so that
you are able to maintain relationships based on authenticity?
Understanding the Hierarchy of Emotions
Just how do you think and feel your way through this
hierarchy? Dennis Oosterman will cover these in his
sessions with you. Dennis is a facilitator of a defined
range of vibrational essences, which deal with the emotions
in the hierarchy, allowing people to release unhelpful
emotions and to build helpful emotions.
Dennis commenced Quantum Leap Consulting and the Wizards
Workshop in 2003 to market the range of vibrational
essences aimed at releasing emotions stored in the body.
The intent of the vibrational essences is to allow people
to clear the emotions that constrict their life, such
as depression and abandonment, release limiting emotions,
like anger and sorrow, and then to build the expanding
emotions such as hope and love. The essences work on
re-balancing those frequencies and releasing emotions
regardless of how or why they exist. This is a context
free‚ approach to healing and releasing emotions, as
it works on changing the vibration rather than the event.
