My Go-To Morning Infusion Can Increase Our Lifespan
When my doctor finally (for the first time in my life) told me that I was doing something good with my daily routine, it shocks me, especially because this was about the amount of coffee I'm drinking. "Three cups a day is totally fine, just keep the same amount every day," he said, and immediately after that, I needed to find out why he didn't ask me to at least reduce the number of cups a day.

Ah-Chew
As April showers replace March’s chill, many of us rejoice at the thought of spring.

How Roasted Seaweed Supports Our Health & Wellness
For hundreds of years seaweeds have been used as food; usage in Ireland has been recorded to date back to the 12th century. Seaweeds are high in minerals, as a result of their marine growing environment. A delicacy of Japan, the Nori seaweed is roasted, making it a pure seaweed and a great addition to many foods. Whilst in production only a small amount of sea salt and oil are added to the Nori, giving it that crunchy and sweet flavor. Japan has benefited for many years with this vegetable from the sea, its people having a strong appreciation for the nutritional benefits and longevity that it provides.

How I Lost Weight Without Intense Exercise
It All Started With Lack Of Exercise I started to gain weight in my late teens. As a kid, I had a horse and I was horseback riding every day and was showjumping basically every weekend. I was really fit back then, I assure you that. My main interests shifted in my late teens, and you can possibly guess the direction? Boys! And I went to school in another town so it became too time-consuming for me to have a horse, so I sold it. Poor eating habits and less training made me start to gain weight.
