Excuses I make for not eating well
I`m too tired I am just sitting there, in bed, bindgewatching some series for hours and somehow I still feel incredibly tired. And then , when I sense that little tingle of hunger, and I think to myself that I should get up. I feel my legs getting heavy, my head sinks in the pillow and the neverending stream of tvshows invites me stay. I feel too tired to go to the fridge, too tired to go shopping, too tired to breathe sometimes.

Nutritional Supplements for Optimal Health
Everyone has heard the term "you are what you eat", but it's never been more important than it is today. Your body needs vitamins and minerals to function, and if you're not getting them you won't be able to perform your best. Ideally you would get all of your daily recommended vitamins from food. However, that's not always possible. In today's frenetic environment it can be hard to get high quality, unprocessed foods. Many people take nutritional supplements to ensure they get their essential daily vitamins, but it can be hard to choose the right one with so many options. Fortunately, there are guidelines to help you choose a supplement that would work best for you.

A handful of sweet guilt
“Chocolate is happiness that you can eat,”quoted by Ursula Kohaupt. “Chocolate is comfort without words,” again quoted by Ursula Kohaupt. Those are true statements according to me. I can never imagine my life without chocolate in any part of my life.

Is Your Vegan Diet Providing You with Optimal Nutrition?
A vegan diet is quite healthy. There’s no question that eating a rainbow of fruit and veggies can provide you with a huge nutrient boost. There’s one small catch, though. Humans were designed to be omnivores. We’ve got molars to crush plant matter, and canines to rip through the meat.

One month sober and sugarless - how I'm feeling
I've made it to 31 days free of processed sugar and booze, so I wanted to document how it's been and how I'm truly feeling about it all. Not just for my own reflective purposes, but in case this account helps anyone else who is thinking of cutting either of these things out of their lives for a while to decide whether they want to or not.

I unwittingly broke my sugar ban with a take out salad
This story begins two days ago. It was a Tuesday morning and I was up and into the office early, and not being a morning person on the best of days I'll be honest and say the 6am alarm had not been my friend. I also already thought it was Wednesday, which didn't help my mood in the slightest. The day was grey and wet and horribly cold, the epitome of a typical English winter day. The morning in the office had rushed by in a series of meetings including one placed right over lunch time that of course overran, so by the time I got back to my desk and thought about food at 1:20pm I was quite frankly ready to gnaw my own arm off.

Artificial Sweeteners toxic to gut microbiome
Artificial sweeteners have always captured that health halo that follows any food without calories.

Why I am conscious of my health now
Guys, what if I told you it’s easy to eat clean and it’s FUN too! Before my health and wellness journey began, I looked at healthy eating as if it were an alien. The (AMAZING) individuals who took up vegetarian and vegan lifestyles were on another universe than me. How could one possibly live by cutting out everything but plant-based foods? The idea seemed so foreign.
