Oooooh, indeedy. There can’t be many people who don’t like chocolate, and I am so pleased to tell you that chocolate is not as bad for you as you might think!
But before you go out and chomp yourself a huge bar of the stuff, you need to bear in mind the following: When I say ‘chocolate’, I mean proper chocolate. A lump of brown coloured, chocolate flavoured vegetable fat with sweeteners does NOT count as chocolate. Continue reading

Now, ask this question of almost anyone, and you will get a different answer! I would love to be able to say that taking vitamins was just not necessary, but unfortunately, we don’t live in a naturally perfect world, where we go out every dawn, collecting from the wild the food that we will eat that day.

Those of you who have been with me for a while may remember the cycling hero, Simon Watkins, who cycled from John O’Groats to Lands End on a bike with no gears and managed to do it in ten days whilst eating super healthy, lush and filling foods. Well, two weeks ago, the speedster managed to come flying off his bike, skidding along the floor and landing in a pile on the Bristol to Bath cycle path.

Luckily for him though, his sister-in-law (me) is a nutritional superhero, and he was able to ensure that his skin wounds healed super fast, and his lungs, whilst still sore, have remained infection free – hurrah!
