Entrepreneur's recipe for good
health
25.01.08
A DONEGAL entrepreneur
has described how the personal experience of a
friend's illness prompted her to change her
lifestyle.
Catherine Sproule, who runs a chain of juice bars,
researched the role diet can play in common diseases
like bowel cancer. She found that 80% of these
diseases are thought to be preventable and set about
making some changes for her own family. |
She said the benefits of a healthier lifestyle were
"firmly brought home" to her when her friend was
diagnosed with a tumour.
Catherine claims that the introduction of fruit and
vegetable juices, wheatgrass and spirulina in her
pal's diet resulted in the tumour diminishing within
a year.
Catherine outlines her recipe for good health in a
new book 'More Than Just a Recipe Book'. |
 |
"So many people were looking for information and
recipes for juices and smoothies that I decided to
put it all together in the form of a book," she
said.
She great improvements can be made from simple
changes like cutting down on processed foods and
being aware of how much salt, sugar, fat and
chemicals are in your food.
"Weight loss, improvements in energy levels and skin
condition happen almost without much conscious
effort," says Catherine, who runs the Guava chain of
juice bars.
The book costs €8.99 and is available in a number of
Inishowen shops and at Guava in the Courtyard
Shopping Centre, Letterkenny. |
