We all know how important water is; we’ve all heard the headline “the human body is made up of 50-65% water”. But very few of us know how this statistic translates into practice and we’re all guilty of taking little to no action to improve our consumption of water.

However, facts are facts, and when it comes to fluid intake, water is king and the benefits of...

If you are on social media of any kind, then you will have most definitely heard this term being banded around far too frequently for my liking… ‘clean eating’. To be perfectly honest, I have no idea what this term actually means. I think if you asked anyone what ‘clean eating’ means, I am almost certain that 90% of the time you would get an entirely different answer. Some will say gluten-free, others sugar-free and for some, it’s plant-based. It really is a mystery of a phenomenon and one that I think it all too often is written in the...

Our friends at Duo have come up with 11 steps for managing stress;  1. Plan  Make to-do lists with your highest priority tasks first.   2. Delegate  You can’t do everything on your own. Outsourcing the tasks that can easily and efficiently be done by others will open you up to tackle the more difficult ones with more time and energy.  3. Learn to say “no”  This seems simple, but knowing and sticking to your limits is often the most difficult act to maintain.  4. Write down your goals  This causes you to clearly articulate them and keeps you more accountable...
