About
eating the right fats for optimum health Today,
many people have such a fear of fats in their diet that they try
to eliminate them – as much as possible they embrace a “no-fat
diet”.
Research
shows that a “no-fat diet” is not only unwise, but
unrealistic. In future, the idea of taking the right fats (healthy
fats) and eliminating unhealthy fats is now essential for optimum
health.
The
right fats are the two essential fatty acids (EFA’s): Omega-3
Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA) also called superpolyunsaturated, and
Omega-6 Linoleic Acid (LA), more commonly known as polyunsaturated.
These fats are essential because our bodies cannot exist without
them and most importantly of all – they must come from food.
A serious deficiency of either results in progressively poorer
health. For these reasons, healthy fat is every bit as important
as protein, minerals and vitamins.

Melrose
supplies a choice of two Apple Cider Vinegars made from whole ripened
apples: our double strength Apple Cider Vinegar with 8 acetic acid and
our Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with 6% acetic acid.
Unlike commercial vinegars, our Apple Cider Vinegars are unpasteurised
and unfiltered in order to preserve nutritional value. Natural sediment
is the true sign of raw, unfiltered vinegar. (The sediment can be broken
up by shaking the bottle).
Apple Cider Vinegar contains pectin, trace minerals, potassium, beneficial
bacteria and enzymes. Commercial apple cider vinegar is filtered and pasteurised
which destroys any enzymes present.
BENEFITS
Apple Cider Vinegar is rich in enzymes and potassium. Its acidic content
is the reason it acts as a germ fighter and is used in many foods as
a natural preservative against spoilage.
People with upset stomachs benefit from the extra help Apple Cider Vinegar
gives in digesting food. Whether this is because of the extra acidity
or help from enzymes is uncertain.
If poor digestion is occurring, your body has to call on other processes
and thus diverts energy from other activities. This is why some people
feel tired after a meal. Their bodies are having great difficulty digesting
what they have eaten and energy is being diverted.
If digestion is incomplete, the body becomes sluggish, leading the way
to an overweight condition, and lack of physical and mental energy.
Melrose Clean Green™ Wheat & Barley Grass
Clean
Green™ Organic Barley Grass and Wheat Grass powders are
wholesome green foods made from the powdered dehydrated leaves
of organically grown young barley plants (Hordeum vulgare) and
organically grown young wheat plants (Triticum aestivum).
Clean Green™ Barley and Wheat grass powders are excellent
providers of green vegetable nutrition. They are a rich source
of dietary fibre for good colon health and regularity. They
are one of the few natural sources of minerals, vitamins and
antioxidants.
The bright green colour reflects the abundance of chlorophyll,
a source of magnesium. Chlorophyll is sensitive to light - our
answer is to use light opaque containers to prevent photon oxidation.
Contrary to popular opinion, Clean Green™ Barley and Wheat
Grass do not contain gluten. This means they are safe for those
who have gluten allergies.
