Introducing Kroongrond; an inspiring one woman endeavour. Hanlie makes beautifull one-of-a-kind leather bags from her farm in the Northern Cape. Kroongrond strives for “fashion meets function” that brings joy for a life time. We believe in slow fashion that stands the test of time. Every stitch reflects the commitment to sustainable craftmanship, mirroring the enduring spirit of our heritage. These luxurious bags are hand-stitched from leather by Hanlie herself, and lined with pig split: a soft and supple leather made by splitting pig hide into layers, with the lower layer, known as the split, being used for the inside of these meticulously made bags. Hanlie only uses top grain leather. She uses Ykk Zip closures and leather handles or straps. At the moment we are selling her travel bags and cross-body hand bags. You can find these in our Home & Garden category.

slow food and gut health

Every persons Microbiome is different so listen to your body and its response to food. Aim for moderation and variety. The more diverse food the better, and the closer food is to its natural state the better for your body. The Mediterranean diet or way of eating has been known to celebrate foods that are highly beneficial to your overall health. The Western diet is typically high in fat and sugar, and low in fibre which destroys prevotella (known to assist with bloating and inflamation). Prevotella is a helpful tool if you are looking to shed extra weight.

Lactobacillus benefits dopamine levels. Be sure to look out for these cultures in yoghurts, sauerkraut, kefir and sourdough bread. And note that basic salt reduces lactobacillus. We offer infused salts that give you a vitamin boost whilst flavouring your food. Bifidobacterium and foods rich in fiber are good for your gut. These include broccoli, blueberries, apples, dates and lentils. A lack of fibre can contribute to a decrease in Bifidobacterium.

Tryptophan assists Serotonin levels. You can find this in foods like apricots, potatoes, beans, seeds and nuts, fish, mozzarella, meat and eggs. Things that can lower your tryptophan in the body include: not enough protein in the diet, too much sugar, too much alcohol and low levels of vitamin B6 in the body. B6 is destroyed by alcohol, and is rebuilt by consuming legumes, potatoes, tuna and salmon. People with low levels of vitamin B6 can have a range of symptoms; including anemia, itchy rashes, scaly skin on the lips, cracks at the corners of the mouth, and a swollen tongue. Other symptoms of very low vitamin B6 levels include depression, confusion, and a weak immune system.

Enterococcus can be found in cheese and raw milk as well as fermented vegetables like olives. Polyphenols are found in foods like berries, tea, coffee, cocoa, beans, spices, olives, red wine, nuts and seeds, olive oil, tumeric and apples. These foods can have anti inflammatory properties: thus playing a role in decreasing IBS and SIM symptoms. Frying your food can reduce Polyphenols. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii can be found in foods like nuts, kiwi fruit, onions, bananas, garlic and leeks.
