Health ~ Breathe yourself healthy & happy
Deep breathing is one of the best and quickest ways to lower stress, heart rate and blood pressure. This is because when you breathe deeply, it sends a message to your brain that everything is okay around you. Your fight or flight responses caused by random stress factors go silent and causes you to calm down and relax. Read the list of some of the health benefits of deep breathing.
Eat yourself ravishing & radiant
The brave and beautiful Willem and Louanne Briedenhann started Familiér Farm Grocer literally from their kitchen table. Initially they just wanted their children to experience true health and wellness by eating only the best, pesticide-free, non genetically modified, organically grown and nutrient-dense food.
