Just For Tummies - Food Supplements

We’re all guilty of not eating well at times. Whether it is grabbing a sandwich on the go to our next meeting or arriving home late and not having the energy to cook a nutritious meal, it always seems a good idea at the time, but we regret it sooner or later. Here at The Amazing Blog we feel it’s about time to take better care of our tummies, and we’ve found the perfect solution! Just For Tummies have formulated a variety of food supplement tablets to give you a helping hand throughout the day.

Choose from tummy tamers like Charcoal, Digestive Enzymes and Live Bacteria depending on what your complaint might be. Charcoal targets bloating and excess wind, and is a great natural treatment for people suffering from IBS whereas, Live Bacteria tames the tummy using, you guessed it, live bacteria to replenish the gut. Digestive Enzymes use derived plant enzymes for extra digestive support on the system to help shield your stomach from those indulgences that you just can’t avoid. The results are a real satisfier, making your tummy troubles float away. Just follow the instructions on the packet and keep your tummy happy. These three food supplements are particularly perfect for the winter season, allowing you to freely indulge in all the rich and wonderful foods without worrying about the side effects.

Nutrabiotics

It’s winter, we get it. Energies are running low and the cold doesn’t help at all. But here at The Amazing Blog we found some interesting supplements that can give a boost to your daily life.
Today we’re talking about Raspberry Ketone Extract and One a Day Multivitamins from Nutrabiotics.

First of all we’d like to tell you more about Nutrabiotics Multivitamins. The package says already about how the brands love for natural things, as is 100% biodegradable. It contains 60 tablets, enabling you to carry around in your handbag all through the day. One a day and you’ll give your body all the vitamins it needs: A, B, C, D and E.
If this doesn’t ring the bell yet, let’s go through the ingredients list!
Irons good to keep high your energy level, Vitamin K and D3 essential for stronger bones and helps to prevent heart disease; and what about Vitamin B5 and B6, they both help transform what you eat in important energy stocks. A healthier and better lifestyle in a one pill!

Moving on to the Raspberry Ketone Extract, we’ve been told hundred times how important it is if you want to keep your weight under control. But what you don’t know is that this natural ingredient is also helpful when it comes to hair growth and skin elasticity; besides raspberries are famous for their content in vitamin C and beta-carotene.
As the Multivitamins, the raspberry ketone is easy to ingest and you can carry them with you as capsules are wrapped individually. And if you have any issue swallowing just sprinkle the content of a capsule in a glass of water.

Don’t just imagine a healthy body, start building one. Both Multivitamins and Raspberry Ketone are vegan and vegetarian and available for £14.99 here and here.

LOVO Coconut Vodka

We’re about to tell you something that’s hard to believe. The Amazing Blog is just going crazy with healthy vodka! All possible if the drink is from LOVO.

Everybody knows that vodka is the lowest calorie spirit and this already sounds just right; but what happens when vodka and coconut water meet? Starting from this idea, Lovo launched a new, health conscious way of drinking.

How many times have you given up that extra drink because the sugar intake would have been too much? You won’t need to worry about that anymore, as the Lovo coconut vodka contains the right amount of spirit along with all the natural elements from Thai coconut water.
Once we’ve opened the bottle, we’ve been hugged by a sweet and sparkling wave. Bubbles everywhere, it looked like a party! And we are so glad that all the sugary taste only comes from natural grape sugar.
Creating a sparkling mix of ingredients good for your body, leaving space for a little indulgent moment, we think this is the best idea ever.

To drink Lovo vodka at its best, serve in a glass full of ice and Lovo right out of the freezer and garnish with a wedge of lime. Gain your happy life; buy Lovo Coconut Vodka here for £2.95.
 

Kiss The Moon - Dream after Dark Balm

At The Amazing Blog we find it hard to turn off our working minds and get a good night sleep. We always seem to wake groggy and reluctant for the day ahead.  We have tried everything and nothing has helped us achieve our beauty sleep, that was before we found Dream After Dark Balm from Kiss The Moon.

Forget pills and infusions of weird and unpronounceable herbs, all you need to relax your senses and finally get the fairy-tale sleep is this little black jar.
The balm contains a mix of oils blended with shea butter which gives it a smooth and creamy texture; gently rub it onto your temples and wrists to activate the calming effect of lavender, bergamot, roman camomile and cedarwood .
We couldn’t help and had to try it, even if it was in the morning! How to describe the feeling of the peace and relaxation we felt afterwards?
We didn’t fall asleep but the balm increased our productivity, because when your mind is relaxed everything comes naturally and easy. Having a little sniff now and then at our wrists, it only helped us to pull out amazing ideas; it smells so good and we think its great power comes from its natural ingredients.
If you’d like to extend the After Dark Sleep balm effects bring it with you everywhere as it comes in a practical 12ml size, or get the bath oil from the same range.

The balm is available at £16 here where you can have a look at the entire collection. Be a Sleeping Beauty for once and cuddle yourself with the best night sleep you’ve ever had.

Friday Favourites - Sweeteners

Calorie-counting has become a routine for most of us; however we can still be unaware of the damaging effect of high sugar intake. Here at The Amazing Blog, we want to provide a healthy alternative to sweeten your morning coffee. With our favourite sweeteners, you can treat yourself guilt-free.

Firstly, we found an innovative new range of fruity Fine Powders by LOOV, designed to liven up anything from smoothies, baked goods, and even plain yoghurt. The powders are sourced using organic berries giving a fruity taste.

The three delicious flavours include Lingonberry, Cranberry and Blueberry; our favourite had to be the Lingonberry for its potent scent and intense ruby colour. We love that LOOV source their berries from local organic farmers in Estonia, making the product guilt-free in more ways than one. Get your hands on your own berry powders here for £13.50.

If berries aren't your thing, we have the perfect syrup substitute. BeLoved have utilised one of our favourite natural sweet treats to produce Date Nectar. The nectar is expertly extracted to retain all of the yummy goodness from the whole fruit.

We found it to be such a versatile product, perfect as a sweetener in hot drinks, drizzled over pancakes, or for an alternative sticky ‘date’ pudding. Dates are an ancient superfood packed with fibre and minerals. What makes them particularly special in our book is that they actually boost metabolism. A sweetener that turns sugars into energy rather than fat - we’re sold. Go try it and get yours here for only £3.99.

This next product will curb those sweet cravings for good. With only 3g of natural sugar per teaspoon, The Groovy Food Company’s Agave Express Sticks are astounding.

Agave nectar is incredibly sweet, without any artificial additives or refined sugars, so a little goes a very long way. The Agave Express Sticks are the definition of ‘what it says on the tin’, made from 100% organic Agave nectar and so convenient for on-the-go. We thought the 5ml sachets were great to sweeten tea & coffee and add some excitement to our morning porridge. Sweeten up your diet with a natural substitute by getting your Agave sticks here for £2.99.  

We were particularly excited about receiving The Coconut Company’s Organic Coconut Sugar, a fantastic alternative to the regular refined kind.

It’s formed by gently heating coconut sap from the coconut flower blossom. Although this sounds very technical, the result is a beautifully sweet and fragrant brown sugar. What’s more, the sugar retains the vitamins and minerals from the coconut blossom, as well as having a low GI. In other words, you won’t experience that turbulent sugar high or crash. We loved the unique taste and intense sweetness and it was fantastic to use when baking.  If you want the great taste of sugar but want to avoid those awful blood sugar spikes, get your Coconut Sugar here for £4.99. 

Lastly, we wanted to find a truly multipurpose and versatile sweetener that could be used in anything. Essential Nutrition’s Sweetlift Cook is the sugar free, natural answer to our prayers.

This table-top sweetener is extracted from totally natural sources yet has twice the power of regular sugar and is less calorific. We were excited to use this in all aspects of our cooking; it worked particularly well in baking and to sweeten our morning cuppa. There was no artificial or bitter aftertaste, it provided texture, volume and caramelisation just as sugar would. Essential Nutrition have outdone themselves with this fantastic and almost undetectable substitute. Introduce Sweetlift Cook into your kitchen, order yours here for €14.90.
