Everyday Life
Enjoy a family lunch at Olive & Oil In 2006 Olive and Oil opened its doors in the bustling village of Umhlanga Rocks. As a family owned business, they strived to carry that passion for family forward, by creating a family-friendly environment. They looked to the Mediterranean for inspiration, where family and the finest foods are the key ingredients to life. From early beginnings in Umhlanga, Olive & Oil has grown to include restaurants in Glenwood, Hillcrest and Pietermaritzburg, and they are excited about moving into the Westville Country Club and opening an Olive & Oil Cafe there soon. They are taking over the conference facilities at the club, and will cater for weddings, conferences, and events. Olive & Oil offers a special lunchtime menu seven days a week, which comprises two courses (R99.95) or three courses (R119.95) accompanied by a free glass of wine, or juice. There is also a kiddies’ menu with a range of choices at R35.95 each. On Sundays children eat for free off the kiddies’ menu. Plus they get an ice-cream cone for dessert, and they have their own kiddies’ room or Wendy House to keep them happy. Most branches have live entertainment on a Sunday to help ease you into a new week. So go along and enjoy a relaxed lunch at one of the Olive & Oil branches in Glenwood, Hillcrest, Umhlanga or Pietermaritzburg.

Magnesium for Breast Cancer and Menopause Magnesium keeps the body soft, supple and young. Magnesium deficiency is often misdiagnosed because it does not show up in blood tests – only 1% of the body’s magnesium is stored in the blood. Most doctors and laboratories don’t even include magnesium status in routine blood tests. Thus, most doctors don’t know when their patients are deficient in magnesium, even though studies show that the majority of people are deficient in magnesium.

Consider Dr Norman Shealy’s statements; “Every known illness is associated with a magnesium deficiency,” and that, “magnesium is the most critical mineral required for electrical stability of every cell in the body. A magnesium deficiency may be responsible for more diseases than any other nutrient.” The truth he states exposes a gaping hole in modern medicine that explains a good deal about iatrogenic death and disease.

Breast cancer elicits many fears, including those relating to death, surgery, loss of body image, and loss of sexuality. Managing these fears can be facilitated by information and knowledge, so that each woman can make the best decision concerning her care. Magnesium can be used with the treatment your doctor suggests, and should actually be prescribed by your doctor. By using Miracle Magnesium Oil you may reduce your risk of developing cancer and magnesium can also reduce pain associated with cancer. Miracle Magnesium Clear Gel can be applied directly to the breast to help with tenderness associated with menopause or cancer. Miracle Magnesium Oil and Miracle Magnesium Clear Gel are designed to be a supplement and not for the treatment of any medical conditions.
