About us

At Live Eat Naturally we believe in living and eating naturally. That means consuming as few processed foods as possible whilst avoiding additives, preservatives and pesticides. We advocate a “paleo” food pyramid of whole foods and try to qualify our choices by asking ourselves: “What would our ancient ancestors have done or eaten?” Nevertheless we are still flexible enough to enjoy our daily tea, coffee, dairy products or the occasional desert.

Having travelled the world we’ve uncovered interesting homemade cosmetic alternatives, natural toiletries and cleaning products that are very practical, more healthy and safe to use while at the same time saving money.

While the cosmetic and food industries, perhaps understandably, fixate on profit margins there are often more natural and safer product alternatives that our grandparents and great grandparents might once have used but which have been forgotten over time. The kind of alternatives that were used safely for hundreds of years before chemists dreamed up alternatives that have, on occasion, turned out to be more harmful than helpful. Fortunately today there are also the "natural" commercial alternatives from producers like Dr Bonner and the Dr Organic Farm whose modern products often work better than traditional cosmetics.

As well as researching natural products for the home we’ve also learned how to grow our own organic vegetables, saving us $100’s on our monthly food bill. We’ve figured out how to exercise, what to eat to maintain optimum health and we’ve discovered ways to avoid soreness, joint and tendon pain. In a world where obesity and auto-immune disease is rampant, we feel it's time to expose the essential truths about society's food and health practices.

Rest assured, we’ve actually tried and tested the tips and products on our website and only post stuff that we know works. If you have any product suggestions that you think we should include on this site then please feel free to contact us using the contact form.

We are not doctors but we are scientists, qualified engineers and personal trainers who have built up a lot of knowledge over the decades after reading and trying almost everything to do with food, the gym, medicine and physiology. That knowledge could help you too. Nevertheless this web site and the information it contains is not a substitute for professional medical advice so we recommend you read our disclaimer.
