What you focus on gets bigger!

At Vitae Health we place a major focus on enhancing nervous system function because a healthier nervous system simply means that you will be healthier.
Limbic Memories
Posted by Jonathan Moore on 7 June 2010
Have you ever had an occasion where you smelled a smell or heard a sound and immediately you remembered something (good or bad) from the past? I will often smell a particular flower and be taken back to playing in the schoolyard when I was in year 1. (Quite some time ago now!)
Neurological Emotions
Posted by Jonathan Moore on 31 May 2010
Today we are going to look at the link between the nervous system (brain) and the emotions we experience every day.
Neurogenesis
Posted by Jonathan Moore on 25 May 2010
New discoveries are being made in science all the time. One of the most significant findings that has been made over the last few years is the ability of the nervous system to repair itself. Only 10-15 years ago we were taught what many of you would know - "the number of nerve cells (called neurons) you are born with is the maximum you will ever have. Once they die, they are never replaced."
Stress & Emotional Health
Posted by Jonathan Moore on 17 May 2010
Over the coming weeks we will be running a series all about "stress and emotional health". We will be addressing the brain's role in emotions and the importance of a healthy nervous system for healthy emotions. We will discover how stress impacts the body and how to cope with everyday stress better. We'll also look at how chronic stress play's such a major role in many of the sicknesses we see in society currently.
Food & Your Brain

"You are what you eat" - I know this phrase has been used loosely over the years, to the point that we may respond with "yeah, whatever!". However, IT IS TRUE!
Why organic?
Posted by Lee-Anne Moore on 5 February 2010
Food was largely organic until the introduction of chemical pesticides, fertilisers, hormones & antibiotics, last century.
It's Not About the Calories
Posted by Lee-Anne Moore on 21 January 2010
Increasingly, too much value is being placed on calories & not enough value on the quality of the food itself. Why is there so much focus on counting calories & losing weight at the expense of our health? It's ironic, don't you think?
Fat Facts

Further to our email sent earlier this week, here are some more facts about fat - ie: some FAT FACTS!
More Fats, More Salt!
Posted by Lee-Anne Moore on 14 January 2010
"Saturated fats and cholesterol are not the cause of coronary heart disease. That myth is the greatest scientific deception of this century". Dr George V Mann (O'Meara (2007) p76)
OK...Wait! Weren't we were always told to AVOID fat, cholesterol & salt?!
