 What is acrylamide?
Acrylamide is a chemical that is formed naturally in a variety of foods when they are cooked or processed at high temperatures (above 120°C), and for longer periods of time. The production of acrylamide usually occurs in high carbohydrate, starchy foods such as bread, potatoes and cereal products however, coffee and roasted almonds are too found to be significant dietary sources of acrylamide.  “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” — Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin When we think about holistic health, many people simply associate the term with diet, exercise and the odd meditation for good measure. We rarely see nourishment of the mind, body and soul as a unified picture and often we overlook the most obvious details linking the three.
Recently science has taken our understanding of our digestive system to a new level, finding huge connections between our mind and body, our moods and our meals and the extensive benefits of (the right kind of) bacteria in our bodies.  There is no denying that harmful chemicals surround us. We inhale them through our lungs and skin, are exposed to them via medical treatments, apply them topically, and ingest them through our diets and beverages. Unfortunately, our exposure to these chemicals is only increasing. Exposure has a considerable impact on human health, particularly when considering the cumulative effects of exposure to a cocktail of xenobiotics like heavy metals and pesticides. According to Witkowska, Slowik, and Chilicka (202), this exposure can have significant long-term effects.
 THE FUTURE IS BEYOND WHAT WE PERCEIVE
Energy… could it be the future of modern health care? Increasingly professionals who follow a ‘nature before intervention’ approach are using energetic-based therapies, therapies that tap into the intelligence of nature. We see more herbalists, naturopaths, doctors who specialise in lifestyle management, homoeopaths and other holistic therapists increasing in numbers. At present some of our ‘medicines’ are really quite primitive using an approach that walks a fine line between ‘health’ and toxicity often through the inhibition of our natural cycles. But, we have a feeling that the future of health that draws on the deep intelligence of nature is increasingly closer.  Breathwork has become very very popular in many western countries, the practice has been around for a thousands of years and has its roots in yoga practice. So breathwork is not new, it's very popular in the wellness industry - so what’s the hype and what do you do? Breath? And why do it? What are the benefits?
