Taryn Hall-Smith who is the Director of The Contented Body www.thecontentedbody.com talks about the body's gut flora this month and how imbalances can lead to the inability to lose weight.

Could your efforts to lose weight be due to your body’s gut flora imbalance? The digestive system is home to trillions of micro organisms colonising the gut making an amazing ecosystem called the gut flora. A healthy adult has about 2kg of these bacteria in the gut. All these bacteria live in a highly organised micro-world with certain species predominating and controlling others. They play a number of vital roles in the body and without them we probably would not survive. It is absolutely essential that we take care of our gut flora, as an abnormal or damaged gut flora is one of the main root cause of many diseases including heart disease, auto immune diseases like Lupus and Arthritis, allergies, food intolerances and even cancer.

Taryn Hall-Smith who is the Director of The Contented Body www.thecontentedbody.com talks about the benefits of exercise and detoxification this month.

Exercise and Detoxification

We are all exposed to numerous toxins and harmful chemicals on a daily basis – in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and in the beauty and household products we all use! These substances enter our bodies and are slowly broken down and eliminated, although some do remain lodged in our fat cells for a very long time. Although it is possible to reduce our exposure to and intake of toxins it is practically impossible to avoid them altogether, which is why detoxification or detox measures should be an important consideration for all of us.
