Who are we

Simply Organic                                                  Lifestyle changes

Just a simple Mr and Mrs  just like the rest of you who have decided it's time to do something about  lifestyles and start living a healthier life with organic living.   Judge for yourselves.

The first step.

I have been a diabetic for nearly six years,  living with diabetes is a constant battle controlling  your blood sugar levels without the use of drugs or insulin just diet alone. While attending a Diabetes group one of the first things we were taught was to check the levels of  sugars , fats, and salts on all our processed packaging labels for all the food choices from the super markets, this was a real wake up call for me,  ha, how little did I know, this also  brought to my attention the amount of other chemicals being used in our food chains today.

Having been  made aware of this I became over time very concerned with the amount of  different chemicals  being used  in our processed foods there names most of which I cannot even pronounce.

Combine all those chemicals along with the amounts  of insecticides herbicides  and pesticides being used on the farms today, the use of  antibiotics in factory farmed chickens which passes down into the eggs, plus when it all arrives at the factories and is being processed with many other  chemicals being added  to change colors, extend it shelf life with the use of preservatives,  etc etc,  all this is combining  into a time bomb, as these chemicals  gradually builds up inside your body cells slowly ticking away which can in time  effects us all differently with  different ailments.

Just go to your cupboard now, pick up any one box or, packet or, tin of something and read the ingredients list on them,

Now  go through everything in your cupboards  everything with an  ingredients list, your in for a serious shock, Are you now concerned, It kept niggling away at me day and night for a long time knowing I should do something , but never did, Till now.

Now ask your self  THIS.

Do you know what all the chemical ingredient's are?.
Do you know what there use is for?.
Do you know why they are included in your products ingredients list ?.

No I thought not, then why are you buying that product?. Why are you buying a product full of chemical your body would function better without.  Use your right of choice,  YES  you have a choice.  There is an alternative choice, I made my choice which I did with the help of two other people.  I made that final step which was to  go, Simply Organic.

The final step.

What made me take the first step on the road to living  an organic lifestyle.  First and fore most those niggling doubts I had talked about earlier. Second the help of two other people without them even knowing they had helped in this final step.

They were. 

An English chef from Australia, and my daughter Louise.

The Australia chef by accident on BBC south  advertising his new book called Blood sugar, and Blood sugar The family.

I'm not a great fan of news program's  at the best of time in fact I try really hard to avoid them  boring, but,  for some reason this guy got through to me and seriously held my attention.

At  first I did nothing and mulled over what he had said for a few days, I then bit the bullet and ordered his books through Amazon his name  is Michael Moore.

In the meantime Louise had sent me an article to read about  Danger of aspartame poisoning an artificial sweetener used in  soft drinks squashes  Pepsi max, cola's etc  those that have no added sugars, which  tend to attract diabetics. 

The following day my books arrived, after reading Micheal  personal life story and this description on how he views  food for the fuel of the body, hmm I thought this guy knows his stuff  he's been there lived that nightmare  and survived it. I think what impressed me most was  his five white devils and the five alternatives his five angels on what and what NOT to eat as  the five white  devils these will spike your blood sugar levels instantly, the very foods  that I had been taught  were OK to eat, how could it be so different?.

We decided to follow his books for a month,   I had been taking  blood sugar control tablets  for about  three months as I could no longer control my levels on my own, my blood sugar levels have dropped considerably  in that time, I now no longer take any control tablets, my last six week average was 6.7 Michael  has  completely changed our lives, note I say our lives as my wife is also Diabetic. 

My wife after taking steroids for her out of control arthritis  became a diabetic  she was  on two tablets a day for nearly two years, she  is now down to  one tablet a day within  that months trial period.

We have now decided to try and remove as many drugs and  chemicals from our lives via our foods and drinks as we possible can from here on in.  As things improve the first step  hopefully is  to ween my wife  of that other tablet.

Now we have a new learning curve in our  search for a healthy  Organic lifestyle as we discover its good points and its pitfalls.  As we find out what its all about we will post it here for you all to share on Simply Organic.
