The quality of every movement you do throughout the day and throughout your life, will impact your health for good or for bad, whether you like it or not.

“Think I left my gym shoes on the train” Continue reading “What really makes us fat and lazy”
Often, the thought of starting a healthy plan or diet can be worse than actually doing it.
You might have noticed that I haven’t been posting articles over the last couple of weeks (if you haven’t shame on you), as I have been getting married and traveling with the family.

Eating for the individual MUST always be personalised and tailored to his or her needs. Not only from a nutritional requirement perspective but also for goals, ethics, religion and taste. “What is one person’s medicine, is another man poison.” The cookie cutter approach will work for some but certainly not all!
