What’s your approach to good health?
It seems women are living by an all or nothing approach when it comes to their healthy eating regime. Modern women have adopted what is being called a ‘feast or famine’ approach to their health, according to the results of a new survey by Spatone liquid iron. They found that 80 per cent now stick religiously to low fat, calorie or carb diets during the week, only to overindulge at the weekends on junk food and alcohol.

Viridian – Magnesium, B6 & Saffron
I have something to confess: PMS turns me into a hormonal mess. I have literally cried over spilt milk in one particular previous premenstrual whirlwind. I’m not alone either, with around 25% of women of reproductive age suffering moderate to severe premenstrual syndrome symptoms, which occur 1-2 weeks before menstruation. It’s not nice for me, or the people around me who have to put up with my monthly mood swings, irritability and emotional outbursts; so when I saw Viridian Nutrition’s new...
Green People – A trio of Skincare Treats
There are many simple pleasures to enjoy in our day-to-day lives.
