What and How Not To Eat If You Want To Stay Looking Young!!

So organic pillow hugger!! You are getting your beauty sleep, drinking plenty of filtered water, and getting the excercise in, so are you doing everything possible?

Nutrition, not age, determines the body’s internal chemistry, and that chemistry determines, in large part, the quality and resiliency of virtually every organ, cell and system in the body. If your diet is poor and missing essential nutrients, then it doesn't matter what else you do, your body will age beyond its years.

In our next article we will discuss what you should eat, but in this one we'll just give you a quick heads up on some foods that speed up aging. Just to note though, the odd bad food isn't going to make a huge differenbce, but it's daily habits that can stack up and cause problems.

1. Cut out Transfats

Transfats in fast foods and supermarket processed food is a huge offender. It acts in the body by increasing inflammation, and damaging your chromosomes, at the same time it reduces cell to cell communication which is bad news for your body. Being a man made molecule it is unantural to the body and causes enormous damage. Try to cut out anything that says it has hydrogenated ingerdients in it.


2. Highly Refined Sugar


Its not easy when you're a cake lover like me, but sucrose and higly refined sugars actually cut down your bodies ability to repair itself. High levels of sugar cause glycosolation within the body, this is when sugar molecules start interfering with protein molecules and a multitude of problems such as oxidative stress occur. Unfortunately when one thing like this starts happening in the body, a multitude of oither effects can begin which are like hitting the fast forward button on aging; hearing damage, vision damage, catracts, heart complaints are all a result. Trade refined sugars for natural sugars wherever possible, honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, but not artificial sweeteners, as they do more damage than even the most refined sugars!


3. Refined Starcy Foods

Highly refined carbs, are things like white bread, white pasta, white rice, any carbs that have their wholeness stripped away from them. Eating carbs like these are the same as eating high sugar foods, they massively increase your insulin level in the body as your body rushes to digest them, and then you'll feel hungry again 30mins later. This can lead to type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and heart disease. Instead stick to whole grains and legumes and veg. Much better for you.

 4. Waiting Until Your Hungry Before eating

When you are really hungry, your body releases a hormone called Ghrelin which urges your body to go out and stuff itself with food!!! So the result is that you over eat, as it takes 30mins for the hormone to switch off once you've started to eat. By that time you've already gorged yourself on too much food. Eat regularily and healthily, don't wait to be hungry.

5. Eating When You're Stressed

Cortisol in produced by your body under stress and directs the blood supply away from your stomach to deal with your stressful situation. In the meantime your food does not properly digest and ferments in your gut instead, also resulting in un wanted metabolites being absorbed into your bloodstream. Stress also disrupts the acidity level in your gut, making it less able to absorb vital nutrients such as vitamin B12. Cortisol also stops the body repairing itself, so all in all, stress and eating don't go together. Make sure you are relaxed when you eat, not rushing around or anxious.

So to sum up, how you eat is as important as what you eat. More about this to come in following weeks, but in the meantime, stick to a whole food natural diet for ultimate health.

Organic Cot Duvets for Children Over 12mths

Organic Cot Duvets are a great investment for babies whern they reach 12months of age. Before 12mths of age, babies should sleep in their cot with an organic cotton or wool blanket only and no pillow. But after 12mths, you can begin introducing an adjustable organic child pillow and also an organic cot duvet.

Both an organic cotton cot duvet or an organic wool cot duvet provides an excellent nights sleep, without the fear of baby being exposed to any chemicals that are traditionally present in high street duvets. Chemicals that are nasty for your child, may include fire retardants, polyfoam based polyester fills which are plastic based and off gas over time.

Wool is a particularily beneficial fibre to have in an organic cot duvet as wool has been clinically proven to increase your REM sleep which is the most restorative part of your sleep cycle. Wool is also dustmite repellant due to its high lanolin content.

However, if your child suffers from allergies to animal hair, the organic cotton cot duvet is an excellent choice, as it gives your child all the security of chemical free sleep, coupled with excellent temperature regulation. You can also wash this duvet at high temperatures on a spin free cycle, that allows dustmites to be eradicated.

Our organic cot duvets are the finest quality. Made with a very high grade of organic cotton for duvets, which is rich and silky, the stitching is also of superior quality, as are the organic fillings which are mechanically cleaned and protected from any chemical exposure. All our duvets and beddings are ECO TEST certified organic for complete peace of mind.

An essential investment for any family raising their children in a healthy as possible environment.

What Is a Real Natural Latex Mattress?

Many people talk about the benefits of a natural latex mattress but few really know what one is , and the difference between what is genuinely natural and what is just really synthetic  latex labelled as natural.

Well here's a quick heads up on what a 'Latex Mattress' is.

Latex is the solid form of rubber milk that comes from the Hevea Brasiliensis (rubber) tree which are mainly grown in South East Asia, our Latex comes from Sri lanka and has been certified as Organic. When untampered with, it remains 100% pure and is just basically a biological plant based material. It is both biodegradable and recyclable, as well as being mould, mildew and dust mite resistant. Its flammability is low and it has no off gassing associated with it. Unlike synthetic latex however, it is more costly to produce than petroleum based foams, and thus is only used in its pure form by specialist organic furniture companies. Real Natural Latex mattresses can be made via the dunlop method or Talalay, but the Talalay method allows chemical additives to be added more easily. Some pure natural latex has been produced via the Talalay method of production, but its more expensive. In order to keep a real natural latex mattress pure, fire retardant chemicals are not added to it, and only wool or sometimes natural graphite would be used to non-toxically and non-chemically meet fire safety regs. We only use pure 100% clean dunlop latex with wool at buyOrganics.

What Is Synthetic Latex?

 Most high street furniture manufacturers, like to play around with the latex due to its cost, and add various chemicals to cheapen it,  so that less of the more expensive rubber is used and more fillers, these may include polyurethane in the form of polyurethane foam  (petrochemical based) which is what most furniture is made from. Poly foam contains 2 main ingredients polyols (such as Propylene oxide) and diisocyanates ( such as Toluene diisocyanate ). Both of these have been proven to cause mammary tumours. Toluene is also a neurotoxin which off gases over time as the mattress breaks down releasing chemicals into the air and into normal house dust.  Poly foam is also highly flammable and requires that fire retardant chemicals be added to the foam also to make it more fire safe. Another additive commonly used  is styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). The chemical styrene is toxic to the lungs, liver, and brain. Synthetic additives have to be further added to stabilize it. Most synthetic latex mattresses contain a combination, so either 70% natural latex and 30% SBR or natural latex and polyfoam. But manufacturers can call it natural. You have to digg below the surface if you want to know if its real!

 

Is A Real Natural Latex Mattress Worth the Money?

If your health is important to you then A 100% pure natural latex mattress is definitely worth the investment, as it will not off gas or breakdown, creating toxic house dust. It will be comfy and supportive and the best sleeping experience ever, whilst also not exposing you to daily and nightly dangers and long term illness.

 

Food Additives That Increase Your Chances of Getting Cancer

Most of the supermarket shelves are packed with processed food, with a multitude of ingredients that you couldn't even pronounce. Well here's a list of 13 additives that leave you vulnerable to developing cancer. When I looked at the list i wondered how the hell I could avoid them and what is really safe to eat.......

Ingredient	Found in	Health Hazards
Coloring agents: blue 1, blue 2, yellow 5, and yellow 6	Cake, candy, macaroni and cheese, medicines, sport drinks, soda, pet food, and cheese	Most artificial colors are made from coal tar, which is a carcinogen
Olestra (aka Olean)	Fat-free potato chips	Depletion of fat-soluble vitamins and carotenoids. Side effects include oily anal leakage
Brominated vegetable oil (aka BVO)	Sports drinks and citrus-flavored sodas	Competes with iodine for receptor sites in the body, which can lead to hypothyroidism, autoimmune disease, and cancer. The main ingredient, bromine, is a poisonous, corrosive chemical, linked to major organ system damage, birth defects, growth problems, schizophrenia, and hearing loss
Potassium bromate (aka brominated flour)	Rolls, wraps, flatbread, bread crumbs, and bagel chips	See bromine above. Associated with kidney and nervous system disorders, gastrointestinal discomfort
Azodicarbonamide	Breads, frozen dinners, boxed pasta mixes, and packaged baked goods	Linked to asthma
BHA and BHT	Cereal, nut mixes, gum, butter, meat, dehydrated potatoes, and beer	BHA may be a human carcinogen, a cancer-causing agent. BHT can cause organ system toxicity
Synthetic hormones: rBGH and rBST	Milk and dairy products	Linked to breast, colon, and prostate cancers
Arsenic	Poultry	EPA classifies inorganic arsenic as a "human carcinogen"

 

The best way to avoid these ingredients is good old home cooked whole foods. Just a simple staple diet of unprocessed fruit, veg, grains, nuts, pulses, eggs and meats and healthy cooking techniques.

Cheap Mattresses That Cause Cancer

Just came across this old footage of how Chinese and Taiwanese mattresses contain too much formaldehyde, which could lead to Cancer with prolonged use. Considering most people use their mattress for an average of 10 years then, most of the mattresses that have been sold over the last decade are still in use around the world. If you are still sleeping on the mattress you bought 7 years ago, and it was a cheapo one, then maybe you've not being doing your health much good as it's probably been off gassing chemicals all that time. So maybe it's time to chuck it out or invest in a safe organic mattress....

Do You Know What Chemicals You're feeding Your Kids?

This is a great video for every mother and father, who is conscious of their child's health and wellbeing and wants to feed their kids right. Not all families buy organic food, but its still worth knowing what the worst offending chemicals are in your food and how your child's health is affected.

Easier Breastfeeding with Organic Pregnancy Pillows

Organic mothers will know that breast feeding is one of the most lovely ways to bond with baby, yet it is not always as simple as you think. It's important that baby's latched on right, so that you don't get sore, and also that baby is at the right angle so that they can feed properly. Your back also needs support so that it is a comfortable experience for both of you.

The worst nightmare for me when my first baby was born, was expressing milk, I was advised to start expressing too soon and found that it messed up my flow of milk so that when I let down it sprayed out in massive fountains across the room!!  Suffice to say the flow was too fast for my little one and she often ended up crying. So take some advise from me, don't start expressing too soon. Let things happen naturally and express later!

So besides from a really supportive bra, and nipple cream after baby was born,  I really benefitted from an Organic pregnancy body pillow both before and after pregnancy. It's also known as a spelt snake pillow or a sausage pillow. Its just a long sausage shaped pillow made of 100% organic cotton and filled with 100% organic spelt grains. The cotton is healthy because its organic, un-dyed and unbleached, and the spelt is soothing, and very remedial for health. It is so versatile, and can be wrapped round your back or through your legs when you sleep at night and are trying to support a heavy bump and afterwards is fantastic for supporting baby as you breastfeed. The pillow just wraps under you and you can prop baby on top.

Now the baby days have gone we just use it as a bolster in bed, or for tired aching legs but its been with us for years and is truly an investment! I'm sure its going to be passed onto my kids when were older.. its just one of those things!

As one of my buyOrganics customers said yesterday about hers...."The snake pillow is great, during pregnancy and after!"

Organic Mattress Prices Going Up 1st Feb!!

Whilst things have been pretty bad out there, at buyOrganics we have tried to keep our prices of organic mattresses, organic pillows and bedding the same for as long as possible and absorb the rising costs ourselves.

From 1st Feb however we will have to charge VAT again, and although the UK VAT rate is currently 20% we won't be increasing all our prices by this amount, we will still try to absorb this cost as much as possible where possible. Some of our products may have to go up by this amount, but others will be only between 5- 10%. Unfortunately its unavoidable, but we'll try our best to keep the rise to a minimum.

Non-Toxic, Organic Pillow Safety For Babies

Eco friendly mums to be will be interested to know the facts on organic pillow safety for babies. Some confusion exists about whether babies under 1 years of age should have a pillow or not.

According to the FSID, (the charity that helps prevent infant cot death), pillows, however eco friendly or organic are not suggested for new-born babies and children under 1. Along with pillows, never use duvets and quilts such as comforters, wedges and bedding rolls. These are not to be confused with maternity pillows which are used for breast feeding and propping up mum’s back.

Some parents buy baby pillows to try and avoid a condition called ‘plagiocephaly’ which refers to the flattening of a babies head, babies grow out of this over time and this can be easily avoided by encouraging baby to play on their tummy in the day, a pillow is not necessary.

Even though baby pillows are available online, buyOrganics founder Sonia Kalia-Sagoo, re-iterates that “pillows and duvets , even organic ones are only ok for babies/ children over 1 year old and not before as a small baby can get trapped under a pillow or duvet and suffocate.” 

When you do eventually invest in a pillow, when your baby is over 1 year old and you think they need it, an organic baby pillow is better, as it contains no formaldehydes, bleaches, dyes, pesticide residues, plastics or VOC's or moulds...things you don't really want your child exposed to. 

The best pillow to invest in is an organic wool child pillow. The wool content helps you child to have a restful and deeper sleep, than synthtic pillows that have negative chi energy.

Have a More Ethical, Humane, Turkey This Christmas (not for vegetarians!)

So , Organic non-veggie foodies….Christmas dinner may seem far away, but if you are an ethically conscious person, who savours slightly finer food, then this post maybe of interest to you.  

Most conventional turkeys are raised in small confined cages on Turkey farms, which not only affects their quality of life but also the taste of the meat.  Ethically raised free range turkeys on the other hand are fed real food, they are allowed to move around freely and have a happier existence.

Generally the breed of bird also differs on free range turkey farms, the turkeys tend to be heirloom or heritage breeds and therefore have a different flavour and a higher red to white meat ratio. As the bird has had time to grow and move around, it has a higher good fat to bad fat ratio, meaning that it won’t go dry  and bland so quickly when cooked ,  as caged birds do, but will instead keep a rich flavour when that essential gravy is added!

For ultimate flavour pick an organic turkey as not only will it not have been pumped full of antibiotics and growth enhancers, but it will have been fed a super healthy organic diet and had lots of fresh air and running around too.

Ecofriendly Wooden Cots The Way They Should Be Made

Just like the rest of our furniture these days, cots are no exception, and are often  created using compressed wood with only a wood finish, or bases that are plastic or spring based. Often finished with glazed plastic finishes, toxic varnishes or paints and plastic teething covers, its no surprise that babies life starts tough with chemical exposure right from the onset. Loaded with formaldehyde and VOC’s, babies are exposed from day one, with immunity and brain development being the first thing that can be compromised.

Add to the baby cot, often pvc covered or fire retardant covered baby mattresses and you can understand why babies are so at risk. They lie all day in bed with their face straight on the mattress.

buyOrganics is proud to add to our exceptional line of pure organic baby mattresses, our Organic Wooden Jacob Cot. Made with growth in mind, our lovely FSC certified solid spruce Jacob cot can turn from a cot into a cot bed and eventually a little mini bed. The base is also made of slatted real wood, providing the perfect level of support to your organic baby mattress. Completely ergonomically designed for growing babies. Hand made in Germany, the cot can be left plain unfinished or varnished with eco friendly non toxic Auro wood stains for a beautiful cot that is luxurious, stylish, and 100% safe for baby and the environment.

10 Ways To Recycle Old Pillows

Organic pillow consumers will know that old pillows can get really grotty after a time and it is an easy option to just through them in the bin where they will end up on landfill sites. Instead of doing that, you maybe able to put them to good use around the home, always wash and dry them thoroughly first. Here’s buyOrganics's top ten tips on how

1.     Put a couple of flat pillows together and cover with a vinyl cover to turn it into a garden cushion for your knees when gardening.

2.     Remove inner feathers and compost in the garden, they will provide valuable nitrogen to the soil. Recycle the cover in clothes recycling at the dump.

3.     Cover your pillows with a durable yet comfortable fixed cover and make into a cushion for a pet.

4.     Use as packing material when moving house.

5.     Put a whole load of old pillows stitched together into one big sewn material bag and stitch to make a big floor cushion.

6.     Remove the washed filling and re-use to make stuffed animal toys for your kids or pets.

7.     Square them off and make cushions for your sofa. Make them look pretty with attractive cushion covers.

8.     Donate them to animal shelters or homeless shelters.

9.     Sew the ends together to make a long bolster shaped cushion and cover with a fabric of your choice, you can now use the bolster as a draught excluder under doors.

10. Stitch a few pillows together and cover with a durable fabric and use the pillow as a foot cushion or under elevated legs to increase circulation. 

Recycling is about being creative and a willingness to re-invent what we have instead of just disposing of it! Happy Recycling!

What to do about mattresses dumped on the side of the road?

As a natural lover of a nice clean environment and an organic mattress specialist, I'm exasperated at the amount of mattresses I seem to see ending up on the side of the road. Everywhere I look these days I see them propped up against fences, folded at the end of driveways, or sitting on the kerb! What's worse is that we supposedly live in a nice area!!

It obviously costs much too much for people to take it to the local dump, so they sit with their bright greens and reds and odd patterns on the side of the road, generally growing mould and fungi. It's been 2 months now and I've seen 4 on a daily basis that aren't getting picked up. Phone call to the council is due...

One london borough claimed 9,000 mattresses a year to be collected and recycled. If you need to get rid of your own mattress, contact your council and see if they have a mattress recycling service. Its a much better option than it ending up on a dump site, someone maybe able to use it before it gets soiled outside.

If you imagine 9,000 mattresses per borough per year ending up in a landfill it should put into perspective how important it is that your mattress be recyclable. Most mattresses contain chemicals and materials which will never biodegrade and instead cause toxic pollution. more on that later, but for now!!! RECYCLE!!!!

How to clean your fruit and veg properly and why you should bother!

When our organic mattress shoppers are not sleeping, they are no doubt cooking healthy food. Although by eating fruit and veg, you may think you are being healthy, but your washing regime maybe letting you down! Tests commissioned by Government food watchdogs show that washing non organic fruit and vegetables does not remove chemical pesticide residues. Pesticides are used in farming to get rid of insects, fungus attacks and to stop some developing blemishes. By washing them properly you can cut down on a lot of the chemicals you are ingesting.

For example apples and potatoes, despite being washed before eating / peeling and cooking respectively, still contained one chemical with links to cancer, birth defects and infertility in recent studies. Washing poorly can mean exposure to chemicals which inflame stomach lining, as well as increase cancer risks.

Although the Food Standards Agency says that residues on fresh produce in the UK are so low that there is no need to wash them. Many parents still like to take precautions, because the amount of pesticides children are exposed to in relation to their body weight can be more than that of adults. Green campaigners also insist that there is a ‘cocktail effect’ of food crop chemicals on human health, even at low levels.

Campaigner Nick Mole, of Pesticide Action Network UK, said: ‘Repeated exposure to low doses and mixtures can have a deleterious effect on health, especially amongst the more vulnerable groups such as children.

The FSA’s advice is that people wash fresh produce to ensure they are clean and free from germs, rather than because there is a need to remove residues.

A spokesman insisted the public should not be concerned by the findings.

However, if you add up all the fruit and veg you eat over a lifetime and how much we try and feed the kids to keep them ‘healthy’ it feels like a bit of a self defeating battle. Even if you buy organic fruit and veg, its still a good idea to clean them thoroughly to get rid of germs and bacteria, so here’s our top tips on washing fruit and veg to get rid of pesticides and waxes

1.    You can use a soapy solution containing water and standard non anti bacterial washing up liquid, this works really well at lifting off chemicals on the surface of the fruit and veg but you must make sure you rinse the soapy solution off completely before cooking and eating.

2.    Mix one part vinegar to 2 parts water in a spray bottle, spray on fruit and veg and then wash under clean water. This method can remove up to 98% of bacteria from the surface. If you have longer, soak for 10 mins in the vinegar solution, then wash and eat or cook as normal.

3.    Purchase a commercial fruit and veg cleaning spray that contains no ammonia. This will remove waxes, pesticides, and bacteria naturally

4.   Make your own fruit and veg cleaning spray-

Method 1
1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of baking soda, 1 cup (250ml) of water. Put the mixture in a spray-topped bottle. Spray the fruit or vegetables, leave to sit for 5--10 minutes, then rinse well.

Method 2

1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons white vinegar (distilled works best), 1 cup (250ml) water in a spray-topped bottle. Spray the fruit or vegetables, wipe and eat.

For particularly waxy fruit or vegetables, try this mixture:

Method 3

1 cup (250ml) water, half a cup (115ml) vinegar, 1 tablespoon baking soda and dash of grapefruit seed extract. Spray this onto the produce and leave for an hour before rinsing and eating.

5.         After washing as described above, peel or discard outer layers where possible to get rid of most of the pesticides that remain on the outside.

Only clean fruit and veg this way just before you eat or cook them, otherwise they degrade more quickly.

What To Do With Your left Over Halloween Pumpkin?

Organic pillow lovers will be interested to know that instead of throwing their pumpkin away after Halloween, you can make a delicious and easy pumpkin pie!

This is a very American dish, but is delicious and warming on cold autumn nights, so don’t throw it away, be creative!

1.     Preheat the oven to 200 degrees

2.     Your pumpkin is already, ready to cook as by now you will have done all the hard work removing the inside stringy flesh and seeds. Cut in half and bake both halves in the oven at about 350 degrees, and scoop out the inside when tender after about an hour to an hour and half.

3.     Make the pie crust by either - cheating using a pre made short crust pastry dough (!), or make your own using 7 oz of all purpose flour with a teaspoon of salt, and 4 oz butter, put everything in a bowl, mix with your fingers until it resembles a fine breadcrumb mixture and add 2-3 tablespoons of cold water to the mixture a little at a time. Keep mixing  and kneeding dough until it is moist enough to hold together in a ball

4.     Shape dough into a ball and place on a lightly floured board. Roll dough out to 1/8inch thickness. With a sharp knife, cut dough 1 1/2 inch larger than an 8 to 9 inch pie pan placed upside down on the flattened dough. Gently roll the dough around the rolling pin and transfer it right side up on to /into the pie pan. Unroll, ease dough into the bottom of the pie pan gently.

5.     In a large bowl with mixer speed on medium, 2 cups cooked pumpkin mash with 12floz evaporated milk, 2 beaten eggs, ¾ cups brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ginger, ½ teaspoon nutmeg and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix well. Pour into a prepared crust. Bake 40 minutes or until when a knife is inserted 1 inch from the edge comes out clean.

Enjoy with some fresh whipped or double cream or ice cream!
