What is in your glass, your cup or mug is under more scrutiny of late. Headlines, reports, and guidelines could instigate a change in your liquid consumption behaviour, if you feel inclined – I guess it would depend on what it is and how much it affects your life. A recent headline I came across asked if I’d like “Some plastics with your tea?” It was from a reputable source, in a report from McGill […]
The holiday season is upon us, and no matter where you are in the world, what you celebrate, this time of year comes with mixed emotions of excitement, and even dread, but overall more stress than other months in the year. The gatherings bring more boozy drinks, foods that may not be the healthiest options and rushing around with the time crunch to get all the gifts, and get all the stuff done on time. […]
It started with a few sneezes. A drippy nose where if a tissue wasn’t to hand, it was an embarrassing situation of a literally runny nose. The next day my energy started to dwindle. Later, body aches started to creep in. I thought it was a cold up until the all night cough-a-thon happened. I was almost like a cuckoo clock chiming on the hour, I’d wake up and cough until exhaustion and then fall […]
There’s an unseen roller coaster that many of us are on each and every day. Some, ok most, of us are on the world’s one, and you know that what comes up will always come down. What am I really talking about? Blood sugar. If you haven’t heard the blood sugar balance, hypoglycemia, or hyperglycemia, you’re not alone. What you can likely identify with though is feeling moody; happy enough one moment, then low or […]
At times there are fads, trends, and must-tries that fly around the internet and social media and come up in conversations with friends and colleagues. Remember the Unicorn craze, followed by charcoal in everything – Black ice cream, lattes, burger buns, bagels, and waffles. Let’s be clear, that kind of trend isn’t one that truly up levels your health, and thank goodness it hasn’t stuck around. Healthy efforts, ways, and supplements can go from your […]
When was the last time that you were driving and someone cut you off at the last second at a light, or you were walking on the sidewalk and a biker whizzed by you, interrupting your peaceful walk and just pissed you right off to the point of being off about it for the rest of the day, or for even longer? I think I can speak for all of us shit happens, and when […]
Sneezes, coughs, droopy and tired looking eyes are all signs that some sort of infection has taken hold of your body. It doesn’t feel good, it slows you down, makes you stop when you don’t want to – or take medicines so you can keep going, but there’s no denying it, being sick sucks. What is it about the couch, blanket, comfort food and the TV remote that we gravitate towards, as opposed to doing […]
Eighty per cent of what we learn comes through our eyes and what we see. Locking eyes with one another, whether in person, from a distance or on a screen, creates the human connection that we all thrive on. Vision is a critical sense, and for us lucky enough to have it, keeping it for as long as possible is a worthwhile health effort. Much of what I talk about on EAT THIS with Lianne […]
