Welcome to my blog where I post an array of exciting vitality articles, all based around areas of nutrition, food, fitness, longevity and natural beauty. Some articles are based on questions I often receive, whilst others are things I personally recommend and practice, eye-opening ideas you will want to know about, including botanical research that fascinates me and might fascinate you too.

A land of cold during the formidable Winters, yes, but a land of extremes, with a surprising strong heat and UV intensity, radiant 24 hour light and bursting fervent growth during the relatively short "active" season in the lower Arctic. The Arctic encompasses…
This root is a highly under-utilised superhero of the dental health world. Not only does it naturally reduce the presence of bacteria that cause cavities and gum inflammation, it very effectively, and perhaps counter-intuitively, whitens and de-stains your pearls too.
