New Aussie Probiotics
Good gut bacteria strengthen and maintain our immune
system. Research shows that probiotics help control
inflammation in our body that can be linked to serious
illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease, heart conditions
and some cancers. Australian company Henry Blooms
has released an array of very tasty probiotics that
contain 6 strains of probiotics including the all-
important Lactobacillus acidophilus. Their 5-stage
probiotic/fermentation procedure offers beneficial
enzymes, B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids plus
approximately 6 billion Colony Forming Units (CFUs) of
good bacteria in each 15 ml serve. Available in six
variations, including Bio-Fermented Lychee Iced Tea
with Green Tea and the very tasty Bio-Fermented
Papaya with Pomegranate. On sale at pharmacies,
health food shops for around $30 a bottle.Tired of strict juice cleanses that require you
to starve yourself to reset and renew?
Sydney based cold-pressed juice company Prodjuice
has just launched the Reset Program: A wholesome,
nourishing program that takes cleansing to the next level.
The best part? You get to enjoy solids too! The program
has been created in collaboration with nutritionist
Jacqueline Alwill, who has also developed a recipe book
(included in the cleanse) to complement the program and
give participants the tools to continue healthy eating
once complete. The pack includes cold-pressed juices,
broths and healing tonics, all nicely packaged and
delivered to your door (with more and more postcodes
being added). Prodjuice founder Anne Durham explains
that combining healthy wholefoods with a juice cleanse
“is a great way to gently detox the body and set new
habits for the future.” So you’ll be less likely to reach for
those deep fried goodies once your cleanse is complete.

The practice of freediving is becoming more and
more affiliated with the practice of yoga, as yogic
breathing (pranayama) helps to prepare the body
(and lungs) for long breath holds and extended
periods of time under water. As yoga invites a deeper
understanding of the connection between our self
and the world around us, we yogis tend to be drawn
to the natural wonders of the world. So many yoga
retreats are now taking advantage of this, offering
everything from surf and yoga retreats,
to hiking yoga adventures. If the idea of exploring
the underwater world alongside your yoga is
enticing, then you’ll fall in love with the
Ocean Soul Yoga’s Freediving Holiday in
Indonesia’s Komodo National park this June.
The retreat invites guests to use the techniques and
philosophies of yoga to discover the magic of
freediving, and promises relief from a busy
mind and a deeper connection to the self.
