The 7th of July is World Chocolate Day!

I will be making the most of this event as I am participating in Dry July as part of Alcohol Awareness week 3rd-9th of July. It's time to ditch the vino and embrace the Lindt!

FACT - The darker the chocolate the better it is for you. Cocoa beans contain an enzyme that actually fights plaque & protects your teeth!

Everyone I know is currently on a health kick - but are they sticking to it? - Is it sustainable?

It's important to know your goals and the purpose of what you are wanting to achieve through exercise and manage those expectations realistically.

Part of understanding the role of exercise and health is also aknowledging that any exercise regime regardless of it's ambitions, intensity or format is knowing that all good training starts in the kitchen - You cannot out-train a bad diet!

The next consideration is understanding; like a good diet, your training regime must be consistent and sustainable or else it will be short lived. What people are prepared to do is a personal matter and it's up to you consider what your goals are and understanding what is realistic.

Remember exercise is good for you!

The more you do the better :)

What’s more, all four sweeteners tested were found to alter the human microbiome – bacteria in the gut – in ways associated with high blood sugar." Weizmann Institute of Science The Guardian

The price of ‘sugar free’: are sweeteners as harmless as we thought? The long read: We know we need to cut down on sugar. But replacing it with artificial compounds isn’t necessarily the answer
