Food from Plants

Well I am finally biting the bullet, creative juices flowing, committing to a weekly juicy bite to send out to the world. I have roped in my colleagues Karen and Hayley to contribute too - their insight & perspective on wellbeing, nutrition, herbal medicine and what makes us healthy is spot-on. Karen recently embarked on a 'must practice what I preach' detox and will share her experience in the following weeks. I can feel myself get a little itchy, on the verge of daily postings that irritate even the most avid fans...this should be fun! 

So in brief, a bit of food for thought for this week - the key to healthy eating lies in not what we shouldn't eat (there is plenty of that we know about), but what we SHOULD be eating. 

Food from Plants.

Only 9% of Australian adults, according to the Bureau of Statistics, consume the recommended daily intake of vegetables (5 serves) and fruit (1 -2 serves). And just to shock you even more (I made an audible 'what!' when I read this) - 40% of Australians do not recall eating ANY vegetables on a given day. Imagine how we could change our health outlook if we simply ate more plant food?

Fresh and green


Yes I have said to many that "I am not a Facebook person", much more a 'face to face' person, and yet here I am, inspired to write a blog in the hope that someone will be interested enough to read my thoughts, musings and comments on all things healthy. 
Why SeedPod news? Well simply because a seed pod is the beginning of life, a seed of an idea, the start of something great, a new baby, a new thought propelling us on the search for betterment... and... it is small, digestible, quick to capture and hold in ones hand to take through the day. 

So let's make it short and sweet each time, with a potential adventurous journey in each capsule. 


I am green and fresh and hoping that this will be fun!
