In 2007, the well respected journal Lancet published a study funded by United Kingdom's Food Standards Agency which supported varying degrees of hyperactive behaviour in the children after they consumed fruit drinks containing mixture of food colourings and preservatives.
The additives are:
In the study, a group of 300 children were given one of three drinks - a potent cocktail of additives, one containing roughly the average daily intake for a child their age or a placebo containg none.
Parents of children showing signs of hyperactivity are being advised that eliminating certain artificial food colours from their children's diet may have some beneficial effects on their behaviour. Though simply taking these additives out of food will not prevent hyperactive disorders, there may be many other influences at work here, but at least a child can avoid this one.

The new status symbol of the urban gardener is the eco-efficient broom or rake. Hosing leaves off the driveway and footpath are out and so is powering up a two-stroke petrol engine to give the lawn a quick blow. Leaf blowers or air brooms are not only a source of noise pollution for the neighbours but can produce the same amount of air pollutants in an hour as driving a car from Sydney to Brisbane.

Most of us focus on good home cleanliness, yet tend to overlook more potential health hazards in and around the home.
The average home contains aerosols, paints, polish, continue reading more here. Check with your local council regarding chemical "nasties "collection days.
Carpets, paint, cabinetry, decking, floorboards and even furniture all contain toxic compounds as well as dyes and additives known as volatile organic compounds (VOC's), adding to potential health risks.
So why not use the good old fashioned paint for the job?
Conventional paints and primers are petrochemical based and use fossil fuels as their basic ingredient - oil, natural gas, coal, benzene, xylene, propane, butane, parrafins, tolulene and styrene.
Environmentally these produce greenhouse gases, toxic waste and air pollutants.
Yet in the home, the volatile organic compounds slowly escape into the room, a process called out gassing, reducing indoor air quality and contributing to potential health problems.
When airborne, VOC's enter the bloodstream either inhaled via the lungs or absorbed via the skin directly. Liquid VOC's such as finishes and adhesives are absorbed quicker than solid VOC's.
View symptoms, biocides, "mystery" illness, helpful tips here
If you are away all day and the house has been closed up, ensure you open the place up and let the fresh air in. Allowing good ventilation through your home and office allows the VOC's to secape and provide a safer, healthier and more comfortable space.

Plants inside your home or office not only are decorative, they can absorb several toxic gasses and clean the air. Dr Bill Wolverton, research scientist at NASA's John Stennis Space Centre, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, USA. evaluated common indoor plants, indoor air purification and revitalization and determine their effectiveness in removing key pollutants associated with indoor air pollution. More about the study and their findings.
Living plants are so efficient at removing toxins. By placing plants in your home or office, they can improve the quality of the air, making it a more pleasant place to live and work. You will feel better, perform better and enjoy life more.
Plants not only provide habitats for wild life, they can also lower greenhouse emissions and reduce home energy costs.

Trillions of beneficial bacteria, "flora", live in your gut. These microorganisms assist with digestion and absorption of your food, help strengthen your immune system, and contribute to your body's overall health and function.
And since your gut can provide up to 80% of your immune function, good digestive support is imperative in promoting your optimal health.
Probiotics are foods and supplements that actually contain these living beneficial microbes. Probiotics can help support your body’s natural and healthy flora and support a healthy balance.
Optimal Immune Support and High-Flying Energy
If you’re like most people, you really want to live a life of health and passion, to feel at the height of health all the time, so you can accomplish more of what you want in life.
Mercola.com (a website we trust for health products and information) can help you do just that with a unique formula it has spent years helping to perfect. It’s called Complete Probiotics.
Now consider this fact:
There are 500 species of bacteria living inside you, and some of these bacteria are “good” and some “bad.”
More and more, helpful bacteria are increasingly absent from our food, making it important to include supplementation with probiotics to give your GI tract and your entire immune system an extra “edge.”
Unfortunately, there is simply no single probiotic that is good for everyone.
However, Mercola.com’s probiotic seems to work consistently better for the vast majority of people than most of the others.
After all, Complete Probiotics:
** Contains billions more beneficial microorganisms per serving than other formulas
** Helps your digestive system maintain an optimal ratio of good to bad bacteria
** Promotes mineral absorption
** Supports protein and carbohydrate digestion
** Supports metabolic health
** Is fermented in fresh goat’s milk for even more nutrition
** Supports a healthy immune system
** Thrives in acidic conditions to better promote healthy flora
Furthermore, Complete Probiotics is easy to store, heat resistant, and stable. No refrigeration needed.
What’s more, with its superior viability throughout a long shelf life, you can purchase a multi-pack and keep them in several places for easy access at mealtimes.
Take this affordable step toward your best health today by ordering a supply of Complete Probiotics!

The previous owners or tenants didn’t mean to, but they probably left behind far more than you realise. Over the years, the carpets and floors of the property will have accumulated all manner of dust, pollen, dust mites, and if they had pets, pet hair and dander as well. A tell-tale odour lingers long after the occupants have left.
Normal vacuuming and steam cleaning only give cosmetic results. Mitey Fresh is a service that completely removes dust, pollen, dust mites, pet hair and dander.
No chemicals, no moisture, no steam. Carpets and furnishings look and feel like new.
We also provide a finishing aromatherapy treatment - a holistic treatment
that gives each room a wonderful atmosphere of health and cleanliness
You will find that our rates are surprisingly affordable – from $35 per carpeted room (Sydney).
All our work is fully guaranteed to be of the highest professional standards
…and saves landlords money!
Zeolite Fresh, 100% natural product that absorbs undesirable moisture and odours. Zeolite cleanses the immediate environment of pet odours, smoke, paint, cooking odours, chemical odours, and stale, musty air. It is non-toxic and long lasting.
Air Purifiers and Dehumidifiers can be leased or purchased for more significant odours and moisture problems. Breathe the cleanest air in Sydney and notice the difference.
Your tenants and landlords will thank you.
