Avocados - Powerhouses of Energy
Avocados are one of the key foods in my 28 Day Health Challenge - which introduces you to epigenetics and covers how to balance, through what you eat, drink and how you sleep -  7 main hormones, including insulin, leptin and oestrogen and the foods that affects them.  ~The Challenge starts on the 1st day of every month. 

Avocados are one of the healthiest foods on the planet, and it is such a shame that so many people, especially women avoid them because they are high in calories.  Avocados are incredibly nutritious and whilst they may be high in calories, they are also high in amazingly good healthy fats - the monounsaturated fatty acids that are crucial to good health.  They contain more potassium than bananas and are loaded with fibre. 

Adequate fibre promotes regular bowel movements, which are important for the excretion of toxins through the bile and stool.  Many studies have shown that dietary fibre also promotes good gut health and microbial diversity  This helps the body maintain a healthy bacterial balance which in turn can reduce inflammation and aggravation of the digestive tract. 

Avocados are also great for vision as they contain lutein and zeaxanthin - which are two phytochemicals present in eye tissue.  They provide antioxidant protection to help minimize damage, including from UV light.  The monounsaturated fatty acids in avocados also support the absorption of other beneficial fat-soluble antioxidants such as beta carotene.  As a result adding avocados to the diet may help reduce the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration. 

They are great served alone, just with salt, or added to a smoothie for extra smoothness, or mixed with cocoa powder to make a chocolate mouse, or great smashed onto rye bread for breakfast - sprinkled with a little paprika pepper or chili flakes.  


In a Nutshell!  

Avocados are nutrient rich, Healthy for the heart, Great for vision, Osteoporosis prevention, Protecting against Cancer,  Healthy babies,  Lowers risk of depression, Improved digestion, Natural detoxification,  Osteoporosis treatment,  Antimicrobial action

Welcome to Suzie Webb Wellness. 
Hi, I'm Suzie Webb and I've been in the holistic and well being industry for over 36 years - I'm 70 years young! I love learning - I have an unquenchable thirst for learning, and I also love reading, drinking tea, cats, walking, making my own products, and going to the cinema - you can't beat the big screen. 

At the end of this story you can read how I started my FAB community - Freedom after Bereavement.  

For years I struggled with my weight, my skin and joint pain (from running half marathons!).

I remember feeling embarrassed throughout much of my professional career as a nutrition consultant and clinical aromatherapist at being overweight with poor skin - I felt a fraud! Especially if I was hobbling on and off a stage because of aching knees!  I looked and felt 70 when I was only 40! 

All those years learning how the body worked and eating a balanced diet and learning the importance of hydration, exercise and relaxation - my weight would not go down and my skin would not improve and my joints still ached  - I tried every new diet that came out and every new cream on the market but none worked for me.  Or if they did it was short term: I'd lose the weight but it would return, my skin improved but only for a while. I was reluctant to take pharmaceuticals for my aches and pains connecting to my running but couldn't find a natural solution that worked for me.  

I wasn't happy with how I looked and dreaded the public speaking appearances which was part of my job so I went into writing and had books published on diet and nutrition and make-up instead - working from home where no one could see me!  

One day a friend introduced me to a totally new lifestyle concept I'd never considered before.  I was sceptical at first as but I trusted my friend and said I would give it a go.  My new lifestyle made me feel amazing.  I thought it was coincidence at first - but I had more focus on my work, more energy, my skin was the best it had been for years, my weight stabilised and I was pain free.    I was over the moon and brimming with confidence!  At last!  That was 14 years ago when I was 57.  I'm 71 now and the best shape I've ever been.  

So now I’m on a mission to empower women – with the knowledge I’ve worked so hard to get myself.

I am not the only person to have lost someone we loved.  I was angry when my dad died. Not angry because he'd passed, but angry at people telling me how I should be feeling and telling where I should be on the 7 stages of grieving and telling me it was time to 'move on'.    I was angry again when my nephew died in his twenties in a road traffic accident for the same reasons. I was less 'angry' when my husband died as my work involves emotional release, but my intense grief was indescribable.
 
Coping with the loss of someone or something you love is one of life's biggest challenges.  My husband Guy died in December 2018 - we had only been married 12 weeks.  Most of the support groups I joined didn't lift me or fulfil my needs. But I found something that really helped me and because of that I started my own group which is called FAB - Freedom after Bereavement.  The group is over on my Facebook page - here is the link - and I run regular sessions - both privately and group - using essential oils.  Using this technique gave me the strength not to 'move on' but to 'move forward' - with all those I loved still at my side supporting me.  

Come and join me and learn how you can take back control of your health with the knowledge and information I share in my exclusive communities.
