Weight is big business, and most information campaigns or television programs say “Eat less and exercise more to lose weight” whilst, in part, that is correct it would be unfair to say that is the whole equation. I feel it simply isn’t. When diet books and obesity specialists use the word ‘eat’ I would substitute… [Read Full Story]
What do all those ingredients mean? If you think you are what you eat (as the saying goes) then you are in good company, my Grandmother and I agree, well my whole family does but let’s just keep this simple. My Granny drinks a couple of glasses of water on waking up in the morning,… [Read Full Story]
Ask yourself a powerful question! I am not unaware of the goings on of the economy and wider world but I have a feeling it was ever thus but as our ancestors did not have television and internet they only heard about it in a letter, which quite likely made life less overwhelming.

Just being aware of your surroundings, whilst doing nothing, is good for you and here’s why. Taking a break can help you remember more. The brain actually relies on time out to reorganise… [Read Full Story]
Have you had your ‘good bacteria’ today? Perhaps you have tried to ‘detox’ and ended up feeling simply dreadful, I know I have. I ended up feeling worse; with headaches, breakouts of spots, stomach upsets as well as aching joints and itchy skin. Hardly advertising the virtues of detoxing. Slowly slowly… I am therefore in… [Read Full Story]
Candida or a yeast infection is surprisingly common. Some believe it is as high as 1 in 3 that have some sort of yeast infection.
