The Meat and Nut Breakfast…
If you want one easy tip to keep lean and improve energy levels for the first half of every day, then I suggest having meat and nuts for breakfast. It is important to rotate the type of meat and nuts you have each morning, to stop any food sensitivities being developed. Here’s a link to

Through the Roof…
A great documentary film is due to be released very soon. It tells the story of two physically impaired, but mentally determined women who take on the challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa back in January of this year. Erika Davis, a paraplegic since 2005 becomes the first ever paraplegic female athlete to make

Organic Produce
The argument between organic vs. non-organic produce for health benefits, is a complicated one.

I tend to buy organic meat and animal products, ideally locally produced, with a mind for the
Age is just a number…
I’ve encountered a lot of people this week complaining that they are too old to get in shape or that “middle-aged spread is enevitable”. I tend to belong to the school of thought that age is a number, not an excuse. To prove my point, here are two examples that would even shame most people
