Lifestyle Blog That Pays The Bills
I can’t honestly remember the last New Year’s resolution I made.
If I have made one in the past, I’m pretty sure I would have broken it before January ended!
I’m not a big fan of resolutions because the one’s we set for ourselves tend to be unrealistic and too difficult to stick to.Continue Reading
Okay I’m a little late to the party with this information, but still want to share it with you in case you didn’t hear about it the first time round.
Last year the British Medical Journal released a study that suggested drinking 3 to 4 cups of coffee a day may help reduce the risk of “all cause mortality”.
I’m a massive coffee lover and any good news I hear about this gorgeous brown nectar is music to my ears!
Plus I currently drink that amount of black coffee a day anyway.Continue Reading
Eating more healthy, organic food has been a very gradual process for me over the years.
It has taken time, patience and quite often 2 steps forward and 1 step back.
Even today I regularly fall off the wagon and eat food, and drink alcohol that I know is doing me more harm than good.
However, as the months and years go by, I know I am moving in the right direction and gradually making small steps to improve.Continue Reading
On January 20th I underwent a vasectomy.
You can read my vasectomy story, in which I recorded events leading up to, during, and after the surgery.
As I mentioned in the article, I have to wait 5 months+ before I get the official ‘all-clear’ from my local health authority.
I have to send away semen samples for analysis at 4 months post-surgery and again after 5 months.
I get why there is such a delay in the process, but at the same time it’s a little frustrating having to wait so long.
However, there is a simple test you can perform at home, using a vasectomy test kit, that can detect sperm in semen following a vasectomy.
At the time of writing this article I have approximately 2 days and 2 hours before I’m scheduled to undergo a vasectomy.
Not like I’m counting or anything!
By the time you read this, the procedure will have already taken place (touch wood, it all went well!)
I thought it might be useful to others to share my story.
From first deciding to have the operation/surgery, (and why) to what happens days, weeks and months afterwards, I share with you in this article.Continue Reading
I’ve wanted to write an article about the health benefits of coffee for a while now, but have been putting it off, just in case I discovered it was actually really bad for us, and I would be forced to stop drinking it!
My morning wouldn’t be complete without at least 2 cups of black coffee (no sugar), preferably made from freshly ground coffee beans. (Carefully selected from Italy my local supermarket)
Just the smell is enough to perk you up.
However, over the years we’ve been bombarded with conflicting studies and reports suggesting it is both beneficial and detrimental to our health.
So who’s right, who’s wrong, and will it help you add another 10kg’s to your bench press?!Continue Reading
