In the UK today there are 1.4 million people aged over 85 years… By 2035, this will rise to 3.6 million!!! And as a result, our increasingly stretched healthcare systems will turn to sensory systems to continuously, unobtrusively, help us live healthier lives. This doesn’t mean that a “human being” will be monitoring our every move. But the automated …
We “usually” need a reason to do something. And rightly so. Be it having a few Sangrias BECAUSE it was a hot summers day yesterday (homemade and recipe to come don’t you worry). Deciding that you’re going to go out for a curry to celebrate a birthday (it’s my birthday on Wednesday by the way), a new job, the …
It was just last week. I woke up early (6am) and went out with my dog (Dora) for our leisurely morning stroll. ^^^ always gets me in the right frame of mind to take control of my day. I usually come back with JUST enough time to make some food and shower before getting on with my work. So we come back from the walk. I’m …
Or should I say “not so secret”? After all, it’s on the back of the packaging. But the thing is, we’re often in a rush when shopping. We look at brands, “headlines”, and health claims and “go with it”. Are our good intentions being stolen? Perhaps, yes. I was asked about “protein Weetabix” this week. *** “i’ve switched to protein Weetabix to …
“Should I cut bread out of my diet?’ Now, it depends (I’m sorry for this incredibly “vanilla” answer but I’ll go on to explain). You see, sometimes you may have an allergy or an intolerance to a food that can make you bloated, give you irritable bowels, make you feel tired, give you bad skin, and headaches …
Not got much time? Craving sweet food? Still want to get in the right balance of nutrients to give you more energy and keep you full so you can gain back control over the biscuit tin, and lose weight (once and for all)? Well, look no further than the mug cake! Something both myself, and many members of my …
Sometimes my inability to admit that I’m wrong gets me into trouble. Mainly with the wife (I haven’t been allowed to pick the film for date night since I chose San Andreas…please don’t bother watching it). You see, when you hold a belief so strongly you find it difficult go back on it. As humans, it’s bloody hard …

I literally just wanted to relax, watch a bit of TV and chill out. But it was meant to be my training day and I had already missed a day last week. ^^^ It happens to us all and is something I have to remind clients about when they send me something along the lines of: “Really sorry, Matt…. “I skipped …
A smart, educational look at what curry *really* does to us Read More »
No, it’s not cranberries (or blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries for that matter) No, it’s not green tea (or that Bootea ‘detox’ stuff as they’ll definitely be telling you about that). No, it’s not garlic. And no, it’s not Aloe Vera… You see, I eat and enjoy all of the above (minus the Aloe Vera and Bootea) as part of my …
So we FINALLY picked up our Nissan Qashqai yesterday. Spacious (good for my work…and dog) and a bit more comfortable than my beloved Citroen C1. But the funny thing is… It’s gone from people asking if I’m a hairdresser (when I arrive in the Citroen C1) to: “Matt, you’re married, you’ve got a dog, and now you’ve bought a …
