Lots of diseases are linked to dehydration as well, like headaches, obesity, muscle cramping, high blood pressure, urine infection and more. Drinking coffee dehydrates you as well as alcohol, but […]
To think that it is just calories in and calories out to get you in the right shape, is a bit short sighted. There are many other factors that play a role why you can’t lose those pounds. Environmental toxins is one of them. These are pesticides sprayed on your foods, cooking with teflon pans, the toxic sunscreen you put […]
Spring time is when I start growing sprouts and microgreens again. The sun makes them grow quickly and in 7 – 10 days you already have a tray of nice sprouts. Microgreens grow on soil and take a bit longer to get ready. Mostly around 21 days or so. You can add them to sandwiches, salads, soups, green shakes, omelets […]

Lots of people stopped making New Years resolutions because they know already that they can’t stick to them. It often starts with a strict new diet or rigid exercise regime. People often make them after weeks of overeating and drinking during the festive holidays. So they go from one extreme to another and then they fail. They start their new […]
These days there is a trend for making other people responsible for your health. If you are not masked up and keep your distance, you can expect a nasty comment or shouted at. “I don’t want to get sick” I heard someone say the other day, telling other people to mask up.
