Breakfast for me used to be toasted wholegrain bread with a banana and a cup of tea. A pretty carb heavy meal, actually.
But, that’s changed quite a lot down through the years.
I seem to go through phases of eating the same breakfast for a long time.
It was oatmeal for a while, but right now I’m enjoying eggs most mornings.
I find the higher protein content is much more satisfying, than simply eating bread or cereal on its own. I could go right through to lunch, if I needed to, without eating anything else, and feel okay with that.

You have to change clothes, drive to the gym, spend 45 minutes on an elliptical trainer, shower, drive back home, and then deal with all of the other responsibilities that come with being a good mum or dad, right?

Browse the shelves of any health food store, and you will find dozens of so-called slimming teas. But, do they really work? And, are they safe?
I came across an interesting sales page recently for a product called Wu Long tea.
Basically, they claim this 400 year old Chinese “secret” tea burns fat up to 43 percent faster.
That got me intrigued!
Let’s face it, who doesn’t love the idea of just drinking an invigorating cup of tea and dropping a few pounds?
I’d never heard of Wu Long tea before, but it reminded me of another tea, Oolong.
So, I set about investigating, and guess what? They are the same.
However, from what I can see, Wu Long is an awful lot more expensive than plain old Oolong, and the only difference is in their name.

There’s an old saying that it’s what’s on the inside that counts, and that’s very true in relation to your health, including that of your skin.
For most people, their skincare routine is all about what cleaners, toners and moisturizers they use.

You’re smart and well informed about lots of things in life, so why is it so tough for you to stay fit and healthy?
You may have lots of excuses, and no doubt you have a heap of challenges facing you, but don’t let these excuses be your reason for not achieving your health goals.
