More and more people are switching to almond milk because it sounds like the healthier choice. But once you look a little closer, it isn’t that simple. If you’re scratching your head trying to choose between almond milk and cow’s milk, it helps to compare them properly — calories, protein, sugar, calcium (and what’s added), […]
Polyurethane is a synthetic material used in lots of everyday items – from mattresses, sofas and pillows to packaging foams, wood finishes, car seats and even some clothing. It’s everywhere, even if you’ve never really paid attention to it. I started looking into polyurethane when I was shopping for a new mattress and realised most […]
Magnesium often comes up when people talk about better sleep and feeling calmer. It helps your muscles relax, supports your nerves and plays a role in how your body handles stress, so it can make a difference if you are not getting enough. In this post, I’ll keep things simple and show you which type […]
“No added sugar.” It sounds so reassuring on a juice carton, doesn’t it? Especially if you’re trying to cut down on fizzy drinks or make “better” choices for you and your family. But even when there’s no sugar added, juice is still naturally high in it and low in fibre. It’s very easy to drink […]
A lot of people want to lose fat without joining a gym, and I completely understand that. Calisthenics makes this much easier than most people realise. It’s basically body-weight training – push-ups, squats, lunges, planks, burpees and all the simple moves you’ve probably done before. What I like about it is how accessible it is. […]

And for good reason: many people use it to help them relax, sleep better, or simply feel more balanced. But CBD isn’t only found in oil form. There are also gummies, capsules, tinctures… and even CBD […]
Breadsticks (also called grissini) are a type of Italian bread that seems like a fairly harmless snack. They’re light, simple, and often made with olive oil, which makes them sound like a healthier option. But are they really as healthy as they appear? The short answer: not particularly, but they’re not terrible either. Most breadsticks […]
It’s that time of year when I start taking vitamin D again. I’ve always reached for my BetterYou oral spray, not just because it’s convenient but because I believed it was better absorbed through the mouth than the stomach. It seems logical, doesn’t it? Sprays can start to absorb in the mouth and may reach […]
You’re standing in a shop, trying to make better, healthier choices, and then you spot the word multigrain on a loaf of bread, cereal, or something else. You pause and think, is this the same as wholegrain? It sounds so similar… I’ve been in that exact situation. In a rush one day, I grabbed a […]
Working nights isn’t easy. Your sleep’s all over the place, your meals are at odd hours, and it can leave you feeling out of sync with everyone else. But there’s another concern that doesn’t get talked about enough: cancer risk. For years the research has been a bit mixed, but newer studies are painting a […]
