I know we have to eat. It’s something we all have in common. But oh my goodness isn’t it boring to hear different takes on the latest food trends day in and day out? My job is all about food, and I am overwhelmed by the conflicting messages surrounding what constitutes healthy eating. In just one Continue reading »Aaarrgghhh! Stop boring me with healthy eating!
Stop Brain Drain
Not the kind of brain drain where the brightest sparks clear off to other countries and contribute to other economies. The kind where your own thoughts clear off to some far off place that you can no longer access. I’m talking Dementia. A dreaded D word (another dreaded D is for Diet, but I’ve already Continue reading »Stop Brain Drain
I’ve been kidding myself!
So here I am, in a reflective mood on holiday in Kos in 2017. The holiday was nearing its end, and we’d had a really great time. So what has this got to do with me kidding myself? Well let me get to that…. The holiday was in July and in August and September the Continue reading »I’ve been kidding myself!
Clean science:The Dirty Truth
Did anyone see the BBC programme last week, Horizon ‘Clean Eating: The Dirty Truth’? You can probably get it on iPlayer. Anyway, I watched it, anything to do with health and food is my thing, but just from the title I knew it wasn’t going to flatter those trying to help people reclaim their health. Continue reading »Clean science:The Dirty Truth
Cake free coffee mornings? Nooooo!!
You’re definitely not going to like this. What could be a cosier way of fund raising for a good cause than by selling cakes and biscuits and chatting over a cup of tea or coffee? It’s been going on forever hasn’t it? Lovely sugar laden treats that tempt you to part with your cash. The Continue reading »Cake free coffee mornings? Nooooo!!
Hearing restored thanks to a….water pistol!
You don’t know what you’ve got ’til its gone. It’s a common phrase. Well I have recently been living in a kind of underwater world. I can’t attribute this to what I eat, as far as I know food doesn’t cause, or alleviate the crud that builds up in the ear canal. But once it Continue reading »Hearing restored thanks to a….water pistol!
Almost vegan!
It’s amazing what pre-conceived ideas we have of what certain groups of people are like. Reactions to vegans seems to range from bemusement to total incomprehension. When I was young I had a picture in my minds eye of what a person who is vegan looks like. It was a stereotypical view. Hippy looking, health Continue reading »Almost vegan!
TV dumbs down health
; I’m the first to put the series link on and devour the info that’s spewed forth by good looking presenters masquerading as experts in health knowledge. But since immersing myself in the world of health and nutrition, and reading everything I can get my hands on, these programs become more and more like salacious Continue reading »TV dumbs down health
Time on my hands
I’ve only gone and got myself an allotment! I’d envisaged this: And got this! Well to be precise I got it a month ago, and have been hard at it, clearing the mess before I can get down to the real work of growing things to eat. It seemed like a natural step to take Continue reading »Time on my hands
Low carb or what?
All these food rules. I’ve heard of people making themselves really ill by literally just eating protein and very little else. Carbs or carbohydrate rich foods, have now become synonymous with celebrity fad diets. Fad diets full stop. What do you think of when someone says they don’t eat Continue reading »Low carb or what?
My new Spiralizer
Spiralizers are the kitchen gadget at the moment. But have you been put off buying one due simply to the size of the thing?! Usually they are huge. On a par with the pasta machine you had to have because you were definitely going to make it fresh, but its now languishing in the Continue reading »My new Spiralizer
Turn back the clock
A New Year. A clean slate. Lets look forward to a lifetime of good health. My goal for this year is to turn back the clock. Not just for myself and those I love, but for anyone who wants to understand how easy it is to get on with life knowing that the health part is Continue reading »Turn back the clock
