IS YOUR BLOOD HEALTHY?

Live Blood Analysis sounds complicated (and it is), but for a patient, it’s actually quite straight forward. Basically, I use it to observe live blood cells (only a tiny amount needs to be taken, don’t worry!) which means I can understand what’s going on

SPICE UP YOUR LIFE WITH CINNAMON

Cinnamon season is here! To most, it’s known as autumn, but with the amount of cinnamon used around this time, it’s hard to think of it as anything else. There are four types of cinnamon: ceylon, cassia, saigon, and korintje. Ceylon and cassia are by the

ARE YOU GLUTEN INTOLERANT WITHOUT EVEN REALISING IT?

Gluten! Spooky word isn’t it? There’s so much information flying about in relation to wheat, bread and anything that tastes nice, that I thought I’d dedicate some time to fleshing out the facts and busting the myths. Gluten is a tricky topic. For some, it

ALL ABOUT FRUIT

As it’s national plum day this week (random, I know), I thought we’d chat about fruit. Did you know that strawberries aren’t actually berries? In fact, they’re not even fruit! In order to be fruit, they need to have seeds on the inside whereas strawberrie

NATIONAL MILK CHOCOLATE WEEK

Yesterday was National milk chocolate day in the US – but why not spread the love over here? Chocolate is a wonderful thing. Soft, silky, and smooth – it’s often hard to resist. In fact, the UK consumes over 660,000 tonnes of chocolate a year! That’s big

TALK TO US

Whilst it may be sunny outside, that’s not always the case inside. Our mind is a wonderful place full of lovely ideas, beautiful dreams, and caring thoughts. However, it can also be a minefield, and for some, that’s the case more often. Because of this, t

BREATHE EASY WEEK

Hello and welcome to Breathe Easy Week! This week is all about bringing awareness to our breath, something we should all be thinking about more often. Interestingly, did you know that your breath isn’t really made up of much oxygen. Air has only about 21%

MASSAGE AT WORK WEEK

Did you know it’s massage at work week? I’m sure a good massage at your desk wouldn’t be rejected by any worker, but for some reason work-place health is often neglected. The average person spends 90,000 hours of their life at work which not only points t
