Vacuum Blenders - Sucking the life back into your blended foods
Vacuum Blenders are relatively new and Vitality 4 Life have been researching this new technology for quite some time. We've rejected many models and worked with designers and suppliers to get the mix right.
To explain a little more, it 'sucks' when you spend time creating the perfect smoothie... thick, colourful, tasty and full of nutrients and by the time kids are called they are faced with an unappetising, watery drink, with brown froth on top? Solve the problem with our vacuum blenders such as the BioChef Astro Vacuum Blender, BioChef Aurora Vacuum Blender and Soup Maker or the BoChef Apollo Vacuum Blender.
Oxygen IS life however oxidation of your blended foods does tend to take, not only the fun, but the life, nutrients, flavour and taste out. Vacuum Blenders suck the life back in to your blended foods and keep it there until YOU are ready to use it.
What is Vacuum Technology?
Vacuum technology in the blending industry is still fairly new. For supermarkets and other food retailers it has been an essential part of food storage since the 1940’s. Vacuum sealed packaging and canning processes helped keep our food fresher for longer and now you can use that technology to prolong the shelf life of your soups, sauces, smoothies, nut butters a

Joraform composters have been a central part of the Vitality 4 Life range for more than 12 years. The fondness for this product is due to not only the quality of the workmanship on the units, but the innovative design which produces such quality compost.
Composting is simply the end product after the decomposition of organic materials (anything that was once alive). This includes garden waste, kitchen scraps, manure, leaves, grass clippings, straw. Recycling this household waste using composters significantly reduces the impact on local government collection services.
While in theory composting should be reasonably easy, there are common issues which are solved with the Joraform range of composters. Ground based compost heaps or vertical tubs may lack aeration and the essential aerobic bacteria. These tiny microorganisms make compost cook and cannot live in such an oxygen-poor environment. While waterlogged compost heaps welcome anaerobic bacteria, which don't require air to thrive, they will eventually turn into compost, but it could take years.
The Joraform 'Little Pig' and 'Big Pig' composters are horizontal, rotating units with duel compartments. These insulated units, together with the aeration provided as the unit is rotated creates an ideal environment for decomposition. Composted material should be ready in about 6-8 weeks.
The potential of the commercial units are only beginning to be realised. An initiative in the eastern

Children's rehabilitation with pilates
Pilates is a great exercise for children that can help them improve their strength, flexibility, and balance. But did you know that Pilates can also be used for rehabilitation? One of the best tools for children's rehabilitation is the Pilates reformer. In this blog post, we'll talk about how the Pilates reformer can be used for children's rehabilitation. The Pilates reformer is a piece of equipment that looks like a bed with a sliding carriage and ropes or straps for resistance. It is an excellent tool for children's rehabilitation because it can be adjusted to accommodate different levels of strength and flexibility. The reformer is used to improve core strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, which are all essential components of rehabilitation. Here are some ways the Pilates reformer can be used for children's rehabilitation.
Strengthening the Core
The core muscles are the muscles that support the spine and help maintain good posture. Children who have back pain or spinal injuries can benefit greatly from exercises that strengthen the core muscles. The Pilates reformer can be used to perform exercises that target the core muscles and improve posture. Exercises like the Hundred, Leg Circles, and Planks can be done on the reformer to strengthen the core muscles.
Improving Flexibility
Children who have been injured may experience tight muscles that can hinder their recovery. Stretching exercises on the Pilates reformer can help to improve flexibility and reduce muscle tightness. Exercises like the Mermaid, Long Stretch, and Spine Stretch can be done on
