I hear a lot of people moaning about not being able to eat in the morning but breakfast is not called that for nothing. Break-fast literally, the last time that you had eaten is probably around 8 o’clock the previous evening and now you awaken to the snoozed alarm, get up and run to the French press or percolator. You need that caffeine, and it does give you a jumpstart to your day. You still haven’t eaten and your body is effectively fasting, so you should break your fast with a healthy morning meal. This revs up your metabolism and gets the day started for you.

Do you wake up in the middle of the night and struggle to doze off again or are you just waking up in a drowsy stupor in the mornings? There are many factors that affect a great night’s sleep ranging from caffeine to late night television. Your daily exercise certainly plays a role in the quality and quantity of your sleep as does the food that you eat.

The Middle East’s expatriates are here to work, this is the primary goal of most that live in the UAE. Of course the expats usurp the many benefits that the UAE has to offer, but they have to work hard at it. With hard work comes stress, and stress is something that puts added pressure on every body part. There are foods that can be eaten in order to reduce stress, no these are not comfort foods. In times of stress people tend to consume more junk food, this food adds little nutrients and drains the body of its energy.
