Home Allergy Tests with Kalrify.Me | AD

As warmer days are approaching, I know many of you, myself included, will be dreading the high pollen counts and will be arming yourself with hayfever products and tissues. Since having children, on top of being a hayfever sufferer,  I have developed a number of allergies, including particular chemicals such as Methacrylate which can be found in some gel nails and beauty products. I have always suffered from sensitive skin, including eczema and as I get older I appear to be finding more ingredients that cause allergic reactions. For me, it presents itself through swelling, blistering and an itch that just drives you bonkers! However, I'm acutely aware that this is mild in comparison to other allergies which can be life-threatening - but that does not mean it doesn't impact my life and nor should you have to just simply"put up with".

For this blog post, I'm working with Klarify.Me on home testing kits. I'm so pleased to be working with them because, as an educator, I truly believe that knowledge is power and arming yourself with knowledge is the best way to live a life with allergies.

Relationships: is honesty always the best policy?

The odd white lie isn’t necessarily a bad thing in a relationship. Whether your partner asks if you like the present they just gave to you, questions whether you’re a fan of their cooking or queries whether they look good in a new outfit, stretching the truth can sometimes be the best policy. What about more serious issues though, like money, family or health? In cases like these, honesty is important. Here, we take a look at a few of the reasons why and offer some tips on how to broach sensitive subjects with your other half.

Do you really need to eat 10-a-day?

Yes, we all know about 5-a-day, but do we know where this number came from, how much is one portion, and what are the benefits of eating 5-a-day or even 10+ per day?

Let’s start at the beginning, where did the 5-a day message really start. The World Health Organisation published an article in 1990 following a review of clinical data which suggested the more fruit and vegetables people consumed, the lower their risk of cancer, heart disease and strokes. They set a lower limit of 400g per day – no upper limit was set. The 400g per day does not include potatoes.

The NHS website suggests valid reasons for including fruit and vegetables each day in our diet – they are a fantastic source of vitamins and minerals and are a great source of fibre which helps to prevent constipation, maintains a healthy digestive system, and reduces the risk of bowel cancer. Fruit and vegetables also help to fill you up, and being low in calories and fat they are beneficial for managing body weight.

I Want a Healthier Lifestyle

You may remember when I wrote my 2016 goals that my mission this year is to have a healthier lifestyle. I don't want to diet, I have done that in the past and failed miserably. What I want is a change of attitude and outlook towards food and fitness, but I was a little lost as to where to begin.
