Nutrition is an important subject – for men and women of all ages and kids too. I discussed my thoughts about healthy eating for kids in my article Why is Nutrition Important for Kids?

Superfoods are a very hot topic right now. There are over 100 so-called superfoods and more are being discovered almost every week. Some are quite common and are foods you’ll find easily in the grocery store – avocados for example. Others are more exotic and you may only find these in health stores – such as acai berries. There are others that hardly sound like food at all such as spirulina which is a type of algae that looks (and tastes!) a bit like dried seaweed. I thought superfoods were a new idea but it turns out that these highly…

Hands up who doesn’t like ice cream! That’s that I thought – everyone loves ice cream (more ice cream recipes here), . The trouble is, a lot of store-bought ice cream is really unhealthy and contains lots of sugar, trans fats, and artificial additives. This ice cream is pretty healthy as ice cream goes and, best of all, it’s really easy to make. Ingredients – makes 16 servings 2 ½ cups skim milk 2/3 cup sugar ½ cup non-fat dry milk ½ cup malted-milk powder 3 ½ ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped ¾ cup pasteurized liquid egg whites 1 tablespoon vanilla extract…

In fact, if you have a desk or a driving job, you probably spend so much time sat down that you could be classed as sedentary. Being sedentary is believed to be one of the leading causes of weight gain and ill health in the modern world. Sitting down all day is literally killing us! I like exercising but that wasn’t always how I felt. Even now, there are…
I love soup. It’s filling, cheap, and quick to make. I often make it in advance and then eat it for lunch over several days. This soup is especially tasty and filling – I love this for lunch as I know it’ll hold me over until dinner. The addition of wild rice makes it higher in carbs than some vegetable-based soups but for active days, this is actually ideal! More soups and blender recipes here. Ingredients – makes 6 servings 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 6 cups sliced leeks (4-6 medium leeks) ½ cup dry sherry 1-pound mushrooms, sliced 1 ½…
