How to prepare sourdough

Mix 100g of the flour with 125ml slightly warm water. Whisk the batter until smooth and lump free, whisking will help incorporate some airborne yeast particles to get your starter going. Leave the jar or container lid ajar for an hour or so in a warm place (around 25C is ideal), then seal and set aside for 24 hrs.

For the next 6 days you will need to ‘feed’ the starter each day. To do this, tip away half the original starter and add an extra 100g of flour and 125ml slightly warm water, whisking well each time, try to do this at roughly the same time everyday. After 3-4 days you should start to see bubbles appearing on the surface, and it will smell yeasty and a little acidic. This is a good indication that the starter is working. The time it takes for fermentation to begin can vary between 1 to 5 days depending on temperature and environment, persevere for up to 6 days, if you still don’t see any signs of life, or the starter smells unpleasant, throw it away and start again. On the 8th day the starter should be quite bubbly and smell much sweeter. It is now ready to bake with.

Overcoming an ectopic pregnancy with Aviva Dance -Adrienne Hudak's story

In he first trimester Adrienn Hudakne Toth (Nyiregyhaza, Hungary) was diagnosed with embryo implanted in the fallopian tube. Her GYN recommended her to come back for control couple of times weekly, so he can monitor what's happening, and if the pregnancy remains ectopic, for the best, he would have to do a surgery around the 12th week. Worried that she would lose one of her ovaries, she practiced one of the Aviva exercises every day for 5 minutes. After three weeks her GYN found out, that the embrio has moved down to the uterus and implanted there. In January 2015 she delivered a healthy baby boy. 

She asked me to add, that she believed in the success all way long. 
Her Aviva instructor is Tünde Orosz.

Aviva Baby from an exceptional ovulation

Little Simon is two month old now!He's growing fast and eating healthy.

He's an Aviva Baby!

A wonderful fruit of the reproductive hormone stimulating Aviva Method.

Anna, the mom, used to come to practice the Aviva Dance to our Friday classes at the European Committee to prepare her body for conception. We have several occasions in the Brusselian lunch breaks when we enjoy all benefits of the Aviva Method. 

One Friday, we agreed that she would do the targeted movements and contractions super strong in order to stimulate a better ovulation. The next ovulation was due to come couple of days further the line.
Anna succeeded so well, that she had an exceptional ovulation in the very next day, out of her normal cycle.
The weekend is the best time to conceive, isn't it.

This is what happened, and today the happy parents can hold little Simon in their embracing arms.

Discover The Wisdom of Your Body

to create balance in all areas of your life.

Despite of all the efforts that have been made to help employees to manage stress at work statistics show that stress actually contributes to around half of all lost working days across Europe. 

Studies have shown that short periods of exposure to stress are associated with reactions such as sleep disturbance, changes in mood, fatigue, headaches and stomach irritability (1). Prolonged exposure to stress has been shown to be associated with a wide range of mental and physical health outcomes, including anxiety, depression, suicide attempts, sleep problems, back pain, chronic fatigue, digestive problems, autoimmune disease, poor immune function, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and peptic ulcers.  (2).

Other ‘human costs’ of stress at work include the emotional strain and reduction in quality of life experienced by family members.

Ultimately, stress will impose a significant financial burden on individuals, organisations and societies (3).

The Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health (2007) suggests that the overall cost to British employers of stress, anxiety and depression amounts to £1 035 per employee per year (€1 220). Of this total, £335 (€400) (32.4 %) is due to absenteeism, £605 (€710), or 58.4 %, to ‘presenteeism’ (Presenteeism is the reduction in an employees’ performance while present) and £95 to staff turnover (9.2 %).
We should not forget the cost of work related stress to stake holders either. For example, company reputation, brand and investor relations.

Parallel to this, as expected, prescription of antidepressants have been on the rise in the past decade. The consumption of antidepressants has increased by over 80% on average across EU member states in this period, among which Belgium is on the 5th place alongside Finland.

Antidepressants are not be the best choice to tackle stress related mental health problems as explained by Kelly Brogan, MD in bellow interview. She says that contrary to popular belief, depression is not typically the result of "low serotonin" levels, nor is it an imbalance that needs to be fixed with antidepressant drugs.:

There are no studies that show a better outcome in those prescribed antidepressants long term, while side effects are well documented; long term antidepressant treatment even compromises the known benefits of exercise! Studies show that long term use of antidepressants have side effects as suicide, violence, bleeds, or even suppressed libido and sexual dysfunction, indifference (or "medication spell-binding" as Dr. Peter Breggin calls it), or weight gain and dysglycemia.

WHAT SHALL WE DO, WHEN WE CAN'T AVOID STRESS?

Instead of treating stress with drugs, let's take a step back and listen to the body.
All of us have various signals to discover and understand.

Let's connect the two hemispheres of the brain,and create harmony within body and mind!

With the Discover the Wisdom workshop we offer the best support in this personal journey.

Which fish pregnant should eat

Fish is the primary dietary source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that we can’t synthesize, we have to eat.  Because they are necessary for optimal fetal brain, eye development it’s recommended for pregnant women to consume a high amount of fish. However.

Most man-made emissions are released from burning coal laced with mercury.  Mercury moves through the air and is deposited in water and finds its way into fish, accumulating especially in fish that are higher up the food chain.

Mercury can cross the placenta to harm the rapidly developing nervous system, including the brain.  Studies (in Boston, New York, Krakow, Seychelles Islands, Granada, etc)  associated prenatal methylmercury exposure with impaired developments of sensory, motor, and cognitive functions, resulting in learning difficulties, poor coordination and inability to concentrate.

Therefore pregnant women and nursing mothers should be aware of better and worst choices when it comes to seafood items, so they can choose wisely:  E.g.  low mercury choices include shrimp, salmon, sardines, tilapia, scallops, clams and mussels, pollock, crabs, catfish flounder and sole.

Generally high mercury levels were found in tuna, marlin, shark, barracuda and swordfish.
