Glucose Meter / Glucometer
(view product page)
Stress is at the root of almost all chronic diseases and the biggest contributor to stress is low-level inflammation within the body. The most common cause of hidden inflammation today is the dysregulation of blood sugar/glucose levels.
There is at most one teaspoon of glucose in the blood of a healthy person. When glucose levels get too high (eg. high consumption of refined/processed sugars) or get too low (eg. from long endurance exercise) the body releases hormones that help balance sugar levels in the blood.
The more times the body is forced to balance blood glucose levels the lees effective it becomes at doing the job. Eventually the body is unable to perform this balancing act 100% of the time and this leads to inflammation, tiredness, illness, disease, and finally death.
If there is one tool that every single person whether they be suffering an illness or not could use to take control of their health it would be a glucometer.

How to Grow More Vegetables – John Jeavons
(Buy from Amazon; Buy from The Book Depository)
Decades before the terms “eco-friendly” and “sustainable growing” entered the vernacular, How to Grow More Vegetables demonstrated that small-scale, high-yield, all-organic gardening methods could yield bountiful crops over multiple growing cycles using minimal resources in a suburban environment. The concept that John Jeavons and the team at Ecology Action launched more than 40 years ago has been embraced by the mainstream and continues to gather momentum. Today, How to Grow More Vegetables, now in its fully revised and updated 8th edition, is the go-to reference for food growers at every level: from home gardeners dedicated to nurturing their backyard edibles in maximum harmony with nature’s cycles, to small-scale commercial producers interested in optimizing soil fertility and increasing plant productivity. Whether you hope to harvest your first tomatoes next summer or are planning to grow enough to feed your whole family in years to come, How to Grow More Vegetables is your indispensable sustainable garden guide.

Dry Brush
(view product page)
A dry brush is a bath brush with soft, natural fibre bristles used to support the body’s innate detoxification processes.
Stroking the brush against the skin toward the direction of the heart (never away from the heart) improves the circulation of both your blood (nutrient transportation) and lymph (toxin waste excretion).
A fantastic bonus of dry brushing is that it also helps exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells leaving you with more radiant, smooth, and youthful looking skin.

Rebounder
(view product page)
Rebounders are mini trampolines that support your body’s innate detoxification system through the act of rebounding (jumping on a mini trampoline).
Toxins are moved out of cells and transported out of the body through the lymphatic system, which is a circulatory drainage system for anything the body cannot utilise and is a major player in detoxification. The lymphatic system functions only during muscular contraction. This includes any type of movement.
Rebounding is an extremely low impact mobility/detoxification practise with no long-term adverse effects on your joints making it the best way to work your muscles and to move lymph within the body.
