NHL have been following a community
development project in a remote region of South
Africa where a community are desperately
fighting for survival. We will bring you regular
updates on how they are progressing.
The African Rural Development Corporation, a non
profit organisation is rolling out the “Godisa
Project”, a community development project,
co-funded by the European Union, in the remote
Phalala district of the Limpopo Province in
South Africa.
The 120,000 inhabitants living in 41 villages
live in abject poverty and are plagued by
malnutrition and disease. The community has a
high prevalence of HIV resulting in extended
families each supporting many orphans.
Unfortunately there are limited employment
prospects other than subsistence farming.

Findings, made by Doctor Lu of
Emory University in the US, show that children who
consume an organic diet have less exposure to
certain man-made chemicals. The children were
tested for two common agricultural pesticides
whilst eating a conventional diet, and then again
5 days after they started eating a mostly organic
diet. The levels of the harmful chemicals (which
have been linked to neurological disorders), fell
dramatically within a number of days to a
concentration six times lower than when the
children were eating a conventional diet.

FACT:
"Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular
disease. A diet high in sodium increases the risk of
developing hypertension. It has been estimated that a
universal reduction in dietary intake of sodium by about 1g of
sodium a day, about 3g of salt, would lead to a 50% reduction
in the number of people needing treatment for hypertension."

Products for a
healthy heart - COENZYME Q10 |
Since its discovery in the late 1950s Coenzyme Q10
(CoQ10) has received much attention as a necessary
compound for proper cellular function.
It is the essential coenzyme necessary for the
production of ATP |
|
| (adenosine triphosphate) upon which all
cellular functions depend. Without ATP our bodies cannot
function properly. Without CoQ10, ATP cannot function.
This connection has made CoQ10 a very important object
of study in relation to chronic disease.

Did you
know ...
Tiredness and fatigue are the most common
health complaints in today's fast-paced world - this is
largely due to an unbalanced diet with insufficient
vitamins and minerals. It has been said that ‘we are
what we eat’, and this is a fairly accurate statement.
Fill your body with ‘junk’ and that’s how you will feel!

Anti-oxidants fighting
“Free Radicals”
There are millions of processes happening in your
body all the time, that need oxygen. However oxygen can
also create harmful side-effects through oxidation that
in turn damage the cells and produce “Free radicals”
resulting in chronic diseases like cancer and heart
attacks.

REVIEW:
" I bought this book because, although I don't have
heart disease, I do have a family history of heart
disease on both sides of the family.
Having read the book, I decided to follow the
nutrition plan for a trial period of 3 months. I am six
weeks into that trial period now and it hasn't been too
hard to follow. I took my blood cholesterol today.
My previous 10 readings were all between
4.4mmol/L(170mg/dL) and 6.9mmol/L (265mg/dL) but after
six weeks on this plan I recorded my lowest ever reading
of 2.5mmol/L (~95mg/dL) and my ratio of total
cholesterol to HDL was 4 which is well within the
healthy range. "
