Posts from the Past: 2012!

It's December 31st and before we look forward to a new year, we're taking a look back...

I have to say it's been an excellent year. Don't you agree? 2012 has had its ups and downs but for myself and the team at Webber Naturals, and hopefully for all of you, 2012 has had plenty more ups than downs!

With great new content coming up on our website everyday, it's easy for articles from even last week to get completely buried in the archives. Even though the sun is setting on this year, let's dig up those buried posts and take a look back at 2012. Here are some fun and informative posts from this past year...

November: One hundred years ago the word "vitamin" was born and we celebrate that with a little history in 100 Years of "Vitamins"

December: Well... what can I put here? We've got so many good ones this month as well. Let's highlight this post since it's the last of 2012. We hope you enjoyed Posts from the Past: 2012!

We'll see you all in the new year everyone!

Enjoy your autumn fruit with these 10 tasty apple recipes!

This season get your apple on with these delicious new ways to enjoy apples!

Crunch, crunch. Munch, munch. I love the crisp, crunchy sounds and sweet flavour of autumn's signature fruit, the apple. But sometimes if I have had too much of it, I get bored of apples and they lose their appeal. This is exactly what I don't want to have happen! Apples are excellent for your health!

Apples fall in the lower end of the glycemic index, containing a high volume of water and fibre. What does that mean? It means that you would have to eat a lot of apples before you significantly raised your blood sugar levels. Apples can help you add nutrition to your meals and keep you full longer!

So how can we keep this nutritious autumn delight in our diet without getting bored of it? Shape Magazine shared fresh ideas and tasty recipes in their slideshow: 10 New (Delicious!) Ways to Eat Apples.

Enjoy your apples!
