What fantastic weather we’ve had this week! Time to put away the thick blankets and jumpers and show some skin. Speaking of skin….

IN THE NEWS THIS WEEK…
Cases of Eczema in children on the rise! Are we being to clean for our own good?

Interesting article and great that they make the point about a compromised immune system being partly to blame, but I still think that Doctors and Dermatologists focus too much on treating the symptoms of skin irritation topically. External symptoms that can be seen on the skin and nails are a warning that things aren’t running perfectly and your gut health is your first port of call.

HEALTH
Saturated fat… From a Doctors perspective! Australia just needs more Doctors like Anastasia Boulais.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
Michael Boyle shares Gray Cook’s thoughts about a joint-by-joint approach rather than a movement based approach to corrective exercise.

NATURAL BEAUTY
With all of the yucky chemicals that the put in sunscreen today, many debate that slathering it on your skin on a regular basis is worse than too much sun exposure. Personally, I am NOT a fan of commercial sunscreens! I think it’s important to get some sun exposure to get a good dose of vitamin D for my health and immune system and then cover up with a hat and clothing. Everyday Paleo wrote a great article on sun protection and linked to a recipe for homemade sunscreen.

WEEKEND FUN
Make the most of this beautiful Spring weather! Pack a tasty Paleo friendly picnic and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air! Check out these great picnic ideas.

Happy Sunday Mammoth Mafia!
