The natural procession of organic foods swelling our national shelves has given
rise to a new breed of health-hungry consumers.
Gone are the peace-loving
hippy associations once hyper linked with healthy food. This neutralised carbon copy offsets
the once guilt-racked minds of inner urban supermarket mums as they wade through
a sea of processed, nutrient enriched consumables with magical claims.
The organic shopper’s basket overflows with a collective bounty of processed
food is a gourmet escalator to a disease-free longevity. The new breed drives
a
Hybrid and knows that N.A.A.S.A is not a space station. Much like the yoga student
hell bent on inner peace, who lights up a fag in the car park in a post Shivasana
haze, the pseudo-spiritual connotations that embalm high brow organic shoppers
offer a new spin on fashion labels. They can be seen squinting over nutritional
panels in the nature aisle or thumbing the mainstream food press for the latest
organic product.

Replacing nature's produce with processed food is
asking
for health problems, writes Lisa Mitchell.
DURING her 20s, 33-year-old Susannah Nicol could be caught
napping several times a day. She struggled with regular migraines
and gastroenteritis. She remembers arriving at university daily and
asking herself: "Do I need to throw up now or can I wait until
after the lecture?
"I would push myself to eat healthy foods and to exercise ...
people would think I was faking it ... they found it unacceptable
that someone in her 20s should be like that," says Nicol, who
learned five years ago that poor eating habits and gluten and
wheat-intolerance were primarily to blame.
Former restaurateur turned food and health consultant Samantha
Gowing says about 75% of her clients present with general malaise.
"They have this cycle of erratic nutritional intake - they're not
getting enough sleep, drinking too much coffee, skipping breakfast,
overeating at lunch, having too much sugar at 3pm because they
haven't had enough breakfast to maintain their glycaemic index
throughout the day ... There's too much all at once and not enough
when they need it."

| Newsflash |
| The Chi Ball Method is an holistic approach to exercise which has at its core five main philosophies: Yoga, Pilates, Chi Kung, Feldenkrais, TCM and Realaxation/Meditation.
A Chi Ball Method class is designed to teach the participant to feel and understand the concept of balance (yin & yang). The format varies according to the time allocated. Each element of the Chi Ball Method is used to create awareness of the body's holding patterns and level of energy (chi). |
