Wholistic Foods
Food is considered a basic and essential part of living. We also believe that the digestive system, what we eat and absorb is a very important foundation to the healing process from many diseases. Yet so many people struggle with this part of their life, aware for example that they need to avoid wheat, dairy, caffeine, sugar and yeast but not knowing what choices there are available to replace these restricted foods. For more information about using Food as Medicine and how to incorporate some of the recommended foods listed here, please click on the educational materials section.
	Rice Bran
With most of the goodness in whole grain rice being concentrated in the bran and germ, this makes Rice Bran very high in its nutritional value, rich in amino acids, minerals, essential fatty acids, B vitamins and much more! It is a good source of soluble fibre which is proving to be an essential part of our diet to replace the high starch that contributes to so many disease processes. (Price £5 - £20 depending on size and weight)
Valdivia Sugar
This is a complete sugar derived from natural sugar cane with no chemical processing involved making it so rich in many essential minerals including Iron, Potassium, Chromium, Magnesium, Calcium and Vitamin B6. So for those a with sweet tooth, this sugar can be safely used in the making of cookies and cakes (all wheat free of course!) or adding to porridge, without depleting you of precious nutrients that other refined sugars do. (Price £5.00)
French and Himalayan Salt
These salts are also derived in a way that involves no chemical processing hence retaining their full mineral rich content in a balanced and harmonious way that nature intended for us to have. The precious minerals or electrolytes present in these salts are essential to the functioning of certain organs (including the adrenal and thyroid glands) and fluid balance within the body. So food need not taste so bland anymore as these natural salts can be used freely in cooking. (Prices £8 & £25 depending on which salt, size and packaging)
Hemp Hearts
Another precious food derived from hemp seeds. Normally, hemp seeds are difficult to use because unlike birds with their beaks, we do not have the means to break into and access the hemp hearts within the seed. We now have available the hemp hearts with the shell already discarded for us. Hemp hearts are considered a complete food in itself - rich in protein/amino acids, fat, fire and other important nutrients all in one food! An important food item to include in your food basket to nourish the whole family. (Price £15)
Virgin Coconut Oil
Nature also provided us with the benefits of valuable ingredients found in coconuts. As with all products, we have to be careful of any refining process destroying these valuable properties. Our virgin coconut oil is as pure as you can find and this you can tell even by the natural coconut smell from it which isn't always found in other brands. (Price £17)
Natural Sweeteners
As we find more precious foods we will be adding them to our list available for you. Our range of specialised wholistic foods can also be obtained from www.proactivehealthcare.co.uk
