Healthy eating is the buzzword of 2017; so naturally — anything that has the word diet, detox or gluten-free grabs instant attention.
But before you turn your pantry into a self-created torture cell OR jump onto any unreliable fad diet, take a moment and give your daily food intake a flashback. There must have been at least 10 instances where you could have avoided the extra calories — by simply making a healthy choice. For instance:

Some happy days call for elaborate 3-course scrumptious meals and others — for 20 minutes, 5-ingredient comfort food. For the latter, you need one staple ingredient in your fridge — chicken.

Pesticides. It's a word that we've all heard, but many of us may not be too familiar with the damaging effects using them can have.

Summers might be a couple of months away for the rest of the world but if you’re anywhere in the Middle East — you know better than to distinguish between the two.
And now that the temperature has started soaring high, all we scream is ICE CREAM. But before you feel the heavenly freeze of your favourite scoop, just take a look at the calories, fat and sugar in one serving — seems a little less sweet and enticing, doesn’t it?

Unless you’ve invented a live photoshopping tool, it's not going to be possible to lose all the holiday weight for a beach-ready body — at least not with the hearty holiday meals and desserts.
An enviable summer body calls for sweat-breaking runs, fresh smoothies, juicy fruits, raw veggies and summer rolls.

Some of us eat to live and some — live to eat. For those of us who fall in the latter group, life is nothing but a bunch of food lies we tell ourselves. For instance:
Adding avocado to pizza makes it healthy? Yes, of course
Missing lunch means we can eat heavy dinner? Yes, again.
Taking the stairs to the office means I’m done with the cardio today? Obviously, yes.

We know you love to put up your #BreakfastToday posts every day, especially if it’s impressively healthy and incredibly pretty aka smoothies.
Fresh, creamy and delicious — smoothies make for a healthy start to a sweltering summer morning when eggs are just too heavy to eat. This blended mix of fruits, veggies and yoghurts offer tonnes of nutrients, proteins and fibres that help keep you full and active until the next meal.

Let’s face it — eating raw veggies is boring. And things are especially gruelling if you’re a fan of everything meaty.
Sure, mixing chicken and bacon in your salads add some solace but there is STILL a lot of hard-to-chew, bland-tasting greens left to up your green ante.
So what do we, the innocent chicken-loving peeps do? We make a vegetable charcuterie.
