Do you know people who always seem to be sick?
I know I do, and I often attribute it to their unhealthy diet–I know I’m a bit biased!! But, I really do think if you eat well, you’ll feel well.
Now this isn’t to say you’ll never get sick, but in my opinion a healthy lifestyle goes a long way to helping you ward off colds and flues.

I was listening to the news this morning and heard the results of an interesting study.
Apparently, women spend two years of their lives thinking about food!
The study found that every day, more than 44 minutes is dedicated to thinking about the next meal, or daydreaming of snacking in between.
