Health & Diet Blog Round Up: #6

This week has been absolutely manic here at Energise HQ! We have been exhibiting at the Natural Foods & Organic show at the Olympia in London and had our Alkaline Diet Bootcamp live event last night in London. Both of these events were absolutely brilliant! We met so many people who are interested in the alkaline diet and lifestyle, which is always great!

We had talks from Gareth Edwards, one of the UK’s best qualified nutritionists and alkaline diet experts, and Ronnie Ruiz, an alkaline water expert and nutrition coach, who both did an amazing job. Their presentations were so interesting and educational, which meant that all people who attended the event and us at Energise also learnt so much more about healthy living and the acid/alkaline lifestyle.

Besides this, here are some interesting blog posts in the world of health, which have caught our eyes this week:
