When I first visited Bermuda many years ago, I remember feeling the heat hit me as I stepped off the airplane. Bliss! Especially as I needed to thaw out from a particularly bad English "summer" (and I use the term loosely.) For the whole three weeks ...

There's nothing quite so un-glamorous as suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Alternating constipation and diarrhoea, stomach cramps, gas, nausea, fatigue, dizziness and lots of colonic mucus... how lovely! But almost every nutritionist has...

This has absolutely nothing to do with nutrition, but before I get onto chocolate covered strawberries (mmmm!), I feel compelled to tell you about The Big Dog Walking Disaster. We have a gorgeous golden retriever called Jasper who is absolutely head ...

I always swore that I would never give out this recipe! I thought I should keep it as my secret culinary weapon but apparently I need something really pretty amazing to make up for last week! It seems that one of my lovely readers had a few issues wi...

I've spent the past few weeks talking about children, so now let's jump to the other end of the spectrum. What can we do as adults to ensure that we meander into old age with a healthy body and mind? I'll spend the next four weeks looking at this ? b...
