Finally my blog is back! My site has been down for the last couple of weeks. Now its back and I can finally put in all the recipes I've been wanting to share with you :D

I will emphasise for now on anti-inflammatory recipes as all diseases originate from chronic inflammation. (even genetic ones!). I will also put in light and easy recipes as summer is here, or around the corner for those in the Northern Hemisphere.

I will also put in Japanese recipes and their health benefits. I am working closely with a Japanese friend who is a self-educated chef and does super easy kids-friendly recipies. We used to live next to each other and my daughter loved her food so much! As they are both healthy and easy I decided to include them on my page - under sensory (my kids recipes easy on the senses). You can read all about that on my page too (the importance of making food attractive for kids - sensory wise.

Pumpkin is known for its significant medicinal properties. Mainly because of its anti-inflammatory properties.

A repost as the previous link was not working.

I recommend drinking this smoothie from time to time in the morning or mid-morning if you’ve had an heavy dinner the day before or in case of constipation or bloating.

Hi health concerned friends!

I have decided to switch all my blogs and recipes into English due to demand! 🥳

I have kept it in Icelandic as I saw a gap in the market there - meaning lack of information on alternative medicine. Though I am switching my social media channels to English I keep giving consultation in Icelandic (and Swedish, German and Spanish)

I belief / hope this won't affect anyone negatively as most Icelanders understand English anyway.

Thanks and stay healthy!

P.s. the detox recipe below is both for adults and children. Remember; detox is for everyone and doesn't involve anything drastic. It is highly recommended when we feel bloated or we suffer from constipation...or if we feel we overate the day before! 😝

Vissir þú að rétt fæðupörun hjálpar til við næringarupptöku? Allt um það hér:

Did you know that proper food pairing helps with nutrient absorption? All about it here:

Sum næringarefni frásogast illa ef þú borðar þau ein og sér. Það er best að para þau saman við önnur næringarefni til þess að líkaminn fái sem mest út úr þeim.
