What are superfoods?

We’re all bombarded with healthy claims about the latest ‘super food’ but what are these so called superfoods and are they so super?

Spring back into fitness

It’s time to get fit and active this Spring! If you broke your ‘Go to the Gym’ resolution back in January, don’t fret. Spring is the perfect time to set a new goal and get fit and healthy before the summer season. I generally work out five times a week and if I’m not at the gym or in a class I’m walking the dog or on the cross trainer or trampette – my latest crazy fad! But I haven’t always been this way. For years my trainers languished in the bottom of the wardrobe collecting dust. But all that changed when I suddenly realised I was about to give up the chance of a work related holiday in
