When I left home for University and the migrated Brazil to the United Kingdom, I thought I could handle anything.

Will there ever be a cure to ageing?

Anti-Ageing

“20 years from now you’d give anything to be this exact age, exactly this healthy, in this exact moment.Take a second to enjoy it.” Richard Webster As I get older, I am increasingly interested in the subject of ageing, both professionally and personally.

Food Glorious Food

There are so many reasons why we should eat well. The primary one is to live longer lives in good health. There’s also improved energy, stamina and immune health, good skin, mood and mental wellbeing – the list goes on. But it’s easy to get confused about what constitutes a healthy diet. Our lives are busier than ever and we’re time poor, so pre-prepared and processed foods can seem like a godsend. Packaging, however, can be misleading and nutritional information and labelling is not easy to decipher. Excess consumption of salt, sugar and saturated fat calories have been linked with …
