Debunking the myths about Iron
Down To Earth Bali
by DTE Bali
3y ago
It’s a long held misconception that vegans and vegetarians must be low in iron because of the lack of blood and flesh they intake. Marketing from the meat and agriculture industry, including Australia’s recent “You’re Better on Beef” campaign would have us believe that meat is the “best” source of iron – while in fact dried beans and dark green leafy vegetables are especially good sources of iron, even better on a per calorie basis than meat. Studies have shown that those on a plant based diet do not have a higher incidence of iron deficiency than meat eaters. Why is this? Rates of iron absorp ..read more

3y ago
Macrobiotics is a lifestyle that recognises balance and harmony. It draws on ancient Chinese medicine that appreciates the dynamic symmetry of opposing yet complementary forces necessary to life and health. Just as everything we put into our bodies and minds is important, just as crucial is the way our food is prepared.

Dolphins are one of the smartest animal species on earth. Their brain size compared to their average body size is second only to humans and their ability to learn as individuals and pass information on to others is incredibly rare in the animal kingdom. Why do we as humans feel we have the right to lock them up and have them perform for our pleasure? Currently in Bali captive dolphins are held at three locations, used in endless commercial tourism programs. These dolphins have had their teeth removed to avoid them from biting the tourists that visit who pull their fins and take selfies with th ..read more

What are Macrobiotics?
Down To Earth Bali
by DTE Bali
3y ago
Applied to multiple areas of life, macrobiotics comes from Greek – ‘macro’ meaning great, and ‘bios’ meaning life. It’s not only a diet but a holistic lifestyle. Everything on the planet, including our bodies and food are made up of yin (outward moving) and yang (inward moving) energies. Both of these energies are apparent, although either yin or yang will be in excess. Our western diets are generally wildly out of balance, and tend to be acid forming – often leading to illness and disease. Macrobiotics is based on an adaptation of eastern philosophies.The term as it is known today is the resu ..read more
