I recently had the pleasure (I use that word loosely!) of staying in a hotel at the Eureka Leisure Park in Ashford the night before and after our Eurostar trip to Marseille and I can’t quite get the whole experience out of my head. And that is not a good thing! The hotel was great and we had a brilliant night’s sleep, as was guaranteed! However what bothered me was the Eureka Leisure Park Eateries and this is why I have the whole chicken and egg question rattling around...

I was talking to someone the other day who suggested that as I had never had a weight problem or a serious health issue could I truly help those who wanted to get more healthy or lose weight? Gabrielle Bernstein, world famous spiritual teacher, suggests you need to have a story, own it and then share it. Her story was recovering from alcohol addiction and finding a spiritual path, all of which she shares with others. If I look at her journey then no I guess I don’t have...

Yesterday I was out and about picking up some food and props for my Instagram images. I got caught behind a largish man who I guessed was probably not that much older than me (I’m 50.) He was shuffling along very slowly, panting heavily as he went and when he got to the checkout I could sense a real feeling of relief as he stopped to catch his breath. At the counter was a small but older lady with very arthritic fingers, she could barely hold the coins. They...

Anyone who read my last blog will know that I was picking on an article in the recent copy of ‘Waitrose Weekend’ suggesting that the new healthy food labeling they are currently introducing on convenience foods was all wrong. I believe what we should actually be doing is avoiding convenience foods altogether and ensuring we are eating simple whole foods more often and cooking from scratch every day. I understand this is not always possible in our chaotic world but for the sake of our health we need to...

As the sun sets on day one of 2018, I wonder does it feel like ground hog day to you? A Christmas of over eating followed by promises of huge changes in the New Year, that you know you will probably struggle with? Whilst I don’t want to appear too depressing or pessimistic, I am generally an eternal optimist, this is something we all do every year almost without fail. I know we live in a world of instant gratification, fast results and immediate answers but the secret to sticking...

Hey there I hope you are well and enjoying the run up to Christmas, it is such a magical time of year but I have been wondering whether some of you have already started to feel just a little bit stressed about the amount of food and drink you know you will be consuming over the festive period with those office parties, family get together’s and too many boxes of chocolates and biscuits as presents. With this in mind I have decided to offer up a free pre Christmas Health...

When it comes to being healthy and making the right lifestyle choices, I find myself often saying, ‘It’s not Rocket Science!’ It certainly isn’t Rocket Science that if you eat doughnuts every day you will inevitably get fat. It is equally not Rocket Science that if you don’t eat any vegetables you will eventually become ill and it is undeniably not Rocket Science that if you smoke and drink too much your body will unquestionably suffer. But the more I think about it, it is much, much more than...
