CBD oil is everywhere these days – in health shops, on social media, and even at your local chemist. 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 […]
I’ll admit it: I’ve fallen for food labels before. One time I was in a rush at the supermarket and grabbed a cereal proudly labelled “Multigrain.” In my head, that meant plenty of wholesome whole grains. Later on, when I actually checked the ingredients, I realised it wasn’t the case at all. Multigrain simply means […]
I like to have pizza once in a while, who doesn’t? And I usually go for frozen pizza. I know it’s not exactly a health food, but my take is this: as long as you don’t have it every day, it’s not going to do you any harm. I normally have mine with a big […]
Living with nerve pain is never easy. For some, it may ease on its own over time; for others, it can linger for months or even years. In certain cases, it may never fully go away. Conventional treatments and regular medication can help, but they often come with side effects – especially if you have […]
When it comes to omega-3s, you’ve probably heard of EPA and DHA. They’re the ones listed on most fish oil supplements and often talked about for heart and brain health. But recently, I came across something I hadn’t heard much about before – DPA, sometimes called the “missing omega.” I was curious. What is DPA? […]
I’ve been drinking green tea for around 20 years (I like to think it’s the reason I still look young), and over time I’ve learned that Japanese and Chinese green teas aren’t quite the same. What are the actual differences? Is one healthier? And which one should you be drinking? In this post, I’ll break […]
