There is so much advice and differing opinions out there that it’s really confusing for people who are just looking for simple ways to improve their health. That’s why we picked […]
Have you heard of one of the most amazing natural medicines, CBD oil or cannabis oil? It sounds illegal, doesn’t it?

I really don’t like eating anything savoury for breakfast (eggs, for example, or even smoked salmon) so I came up with this high-protein, low-carb breakfast in a jar which is naturally sweetened with some blueberries and yacon syrup (and contains no eggs).

Just looking at those red faces in the gym vigorously pushing their pedals to please the shouting instructor. It looks hard doesn’t it? You may think it’s not […]

These risks are relatively low but people can still get injured during exercise, sometimes through overuse, sometimes from more direct trauma and sometimes through a lack of decent […]
Healthy living is not all about healthy eating, nutrition and living your life more naturally, avoiding toxic chemicals whenever possible. Healthy living is also about exercising and staying active and if you really want to be healthy, exercise should be an important part of your lifestyle. We all know exercise is good for us and […]
