Ovarian Cancer Survival

Ovarian cancer has a relatively low survival rate, but research (March 2010 Journal of the American Dietetic Association) suggests women with this problem can increase their chances of surviving by adopting a more healthy diet:

*** High in fruit and vegetables
*** Low in meat
*** Healthy whole grains rather than white bread etc.

This is the diet we should all be following anyway. If you're not, focus on one of these three and make some healthy changes.

Natural Sun Cream Products

With so many of us preparing for holidays we thought it important for you to know why a natural sunscreen is best for you and your family.
Conventional sun protection products use artificial sun filters and oil derived from petrochemicals, as well as parabens, synthetic fragrance, and other additives.

Many of these ingredients have been shown to have negative implications for health and a lot of people with sensitive skin find that sunscreen is one of the major culprits likely to cause a reaction.

So Organic offer a range of natural sun protection products using pure minerals such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to protect skin from the sun and never using paraben preservatives or synthetic fragrance, preferring instead to rely upon the natural properties of plant extracts and pure essential oils.
