Healthy Habits: Making them simple
Life in general and living healthily in particular can become a little overwhelming at times and despite our best efforts to ‘do the right thing’, we often drift towards what is convenient, comfortable and uncomplicated, and habits form pretty quickly. If this is the case for unhealthy habits, team behind ‘Healthy Habits’ asked themselves why we can’t make it work for healthy habits as well.

You can’t buy chewing gum or a box of mints without having to read the label like a hawk, because it’s not always obvious that a product contains aspartame.

This eventually burns out, … Continue reading

Green organics: Love your Heart. Love your Body
We have all heard stories of someone seemingly perfectly healthy suddenly suffering a heart attack out of the blue whilst jogging or working out. The truth is, even though someone may appear to be fit and healthy, cardiovascular issues can take years to develop in the body, before the final devastating outcome. Many core problems of “heart disease” do not lie in the heart itself but stem from the lack of blood flow to the heart. This is also the case with strokes, that stem … Continue reading
