How to reduce your exposure to chemicals Clothes Our skin is our largest organ and can absorb some substances it comes into contact with. Yet, we spend the entire day wrapped in fabrics without really questioning what’s in them. Look for: 100% natural fibres like organic cotton, hemp or linen that are plastic free No […]
SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT TOFU v FAKE MEAT I am often asked if Tofu is ‘Ultra Processed’. The short answer is no. Plain tofu is processed, like cheese or canned fish, but it’s not considered ultra-processed. It looks like a big white cube, but it is made using an ancient method dating back over 2,000 […]
THE SPRING EQUINOX — which in 2026 falls on Friday, March 20th — is one of only two moments in the entire year when day and night are almost exactly equal in length. The sun crosses the celestial equator, rising due east and setting due west, and for this single day, light and darkness hold […]

The advice is to keep free or added sugar to around 6 teaspoons a day, about 25grams, and sweetened drinks to less […]
Cholesterol, as commonly described, is not what people think. It’s low-density lipoprotein, and as a protein, it carries fat-soluble compounds like cholesterol and other essential factors such as fat-soluble antioxidants, fatty acids, and vitamins through the plasma (the water-based portion of the blood). Otherwise, these vital compounds could not be transported throughout the body. What’s […]
If you do nothing else………………………. Escape into Nature to calm your nervous system Go forest bathing. The Japanese believe in a comfort instinct they call shinrin-yoku, which translates literally as ‘forest bath’. Put simply, forest bathing is about spending time among trees. Experts say that trees emit essential oils, or phytoncides, which are their natural […]
‘I found it was a wonderful experience, bringing me back to me. I left with a feeling of relaxation, which I’m still feeling and of course, tiredness, but its a ‘different’ sort of tiredness, like my body just wants to ‘flop’, haha.
