It is so ingrained in our society and upbringing to have treats. A treat is something special that you give to yourself or others. You give yourself a treat when you think you have earned it, because you worked hard. You think you need it because you had a fight with a friend, something happened to you which wasn’t fair, […]
There is nothing wrong with celebrating and feasting in December. If your body is healthy it can handle that. Xmas is however only one day but most people feast the whole month of December. Office parties, friends parties, seeing family and parents. No wonder that people get sick. It is too much drinking and eating the wrong stuff on an […]
I came across this documentary. It is a documentary from France. Despite the French paradox, the French are battling with obesity as well, especially among the young.

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. The lady in question considers herself “vulnerable” and […]
