Natremed Newsletter

Dear [FIRSTNAME],
Welcome to our March Newsletter, which is all about healthy lunchbox foods for work and school. In this edition you will find a big focus on fresh food. We have lots of tips and ideas about how food can affect the concentration and behaviour of your children at school and even a healthy challenge that children and adults can do together – the focus is on getting you to eat real, fresh food!
Our seminar series this month also focus on the younger members of the family with Sophie and Emma running the final 3 of the 4 part kids cooking series. These classes are lots of fun for little cooks and their parents so come along and discover how easy it is to make delicious lunch box and after school snacks.
We look forward to working with you over the next month and helping you and your family realise your health potential.

Back to School - Brain Food!
Every time a child eats, the food they ingest will either positively or negatively affect their behaviour, concentration and ability to learn. For this reason it is important that they begin the day with a healthy breakfast and have many healthy snacks in their lunch box to refuel them throughout the day.

Pearls of Wisdom
Reading for Pleasure
When reading we remove ourselves from the confines of reality to immerse ourselves in the intrigue of the unfamiliar. Every book has the potential to touch the human soul deeply, arousing patterns of thought that might otherwise have lain dormant. The pleasure we derive from the written word is unique in that we must labor for it. Other forms of art provide us with stimulus and ask nothing more than our emotional response. Reading is an active pastime that requires an investment of emotion as well as our concentration and imagination. The words we read are merely a starting point for a process that takes place largely within our minds and hearts.
There are few activities as comforting, relaxing, and healthy as perusing the pages of a good piece of fiction or nonfiction. Curling up with a book and a cup of tea is one of the simplest ways we can remove ourselves from the confines of reality in order to immerse ourselves in the drama and intrigue of the unfamiliar. The pleasure of transcending reality is only one aspect of the reading experience, however. Each time we read for enjoyment, whether we prefer the fantastic nature of fiction, the empathy awakened within us by memoir, or the instructive passion of nonfiction, we create entire landscapes in our mind’s eye. The books we choose provide us with the inspiration we need to accomplish such a feat, but it is our own creative reserves that empower us to use our imaginations for this unique and beautiful purpose.
The tales you lose yourself in can lead you on paths of discovery that take you out of your own life and help you see that existence can unfold in an infinite number of ways. You can learn so much from the characters and mentors who guide you from page to page. Your emotions are awakened each time you read, allowing you to become vessels of the passion that pours forth from line after line of print. Ultimately, the books you absorb—those that touch you deeply—will become a part of who you are, providing you with a rich and thrilling world within that you can revisit anytime you wish by simply closing your eyes. If you haven’t read a book for pleasure lately, try and allow yourself the time—you deserve it.
Healthy Monthly Challenge

What is nude food?
Nude food is fresh food that is wrapper free. It tastes great, helps the environment and is much better for you too. This month is all about promoting wrapper free foods, in their freshest forms!
The challenge:
To reduce the amount of packaged foods you consume and increase the fresh, real foods! Every day that you are at work or school you eat nude foods and save the little treats for the weekend, when you are relaxed and can digest and enjoy them more. If you are not ready to throw away the packages 5 days a week then start with our smaller challenge – Nude Food Wednesdays – the same principles apply but just 1 day a week.
Nude Food Workdays starts the first week of march and finishes the first week of April when we will be introducing another healthy challenge – Are you ready for the challenge?
