It Begins

Welcome

I'm Laura, a Melbourne dweller and mother of one cute little cherub. The inspiration for this blog came about after the recent discovery of some food allergies (Dairy & Egg) and chronic inflammation located around the outside of my liver due to Cesarean complications 8 months ago. My Doctor advised that it could take up to a couple of years to recover and be pain-free which shocked me but I'm not very good and taking no for an answer...

And so I embark on an exciting journey to health and healing through beautiful & nutritious food. I will be posting recipes, food ideas, ideas for alternative ingredients and many things I find of interest. I recently stumbled across an excellent book with great information about decreasing inflammation through changing your diet. Below is the cover to the book and some great excerpts.

I welcome you on this journey of health and fulfilment

Clean Cuisine is the title of the book, http://cleancuisineandmore.com. Ivy Ingram Larson was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in her early 20's and credits keep her condition under control and even in remission to her anti-inflammatory diet, as outlined in the book.  

A 'food pyramid' of sorts to describe which anti-inflammatory foods you should be eating the most of.

Some further information about inflammation.

I have found the book to be very valuable as a great starting point to assist in reducing inflammation and leading a healthy lifestyle.
