The 1200 calorie myth

It’s a 1, and a 2, and a double zero! 1200. This number is glued into our brains as the magical number for weight loss. Eating 1200 calories a day will guarantee a slim body. For years we have, or more or less, women have been slaves under the 1200 calorie diet. 1200. Where did…

Longevity is more than a kale salad

We eat our greens, we sip our water and we sweat like a beast in the gym. We look good, we feel good, and on top of that sweet cherry we know that we are improving our health together with our longevity. Forever young – We can unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) not stay literally young…

Love discomfort

Comfort. Comfort is nice, it rhymes with rice, it is pleasant, it can be cozy, a warm fuzzy feeling. We like comfort, no matter if it’s in the form of “ultra comfort soft toilet paper” or in the form of a a caressing hug from a loved one. Comfort zone is a space which sounds…

Natural UV protection

Sweat is dripping, water is the choice of sipping, we can fry tempeh bacon on the road (your girl is vegan so there will be no eggs fried on any roads!), and our skin is exposed to some ultra high UV light that burns up our skin real fast. Especially if you happen to have…

How to love vegetables

Nourish your inner child

Do you ever look at a little baby and think “damn, how is that little tiny shit going to become an grown ass person?” That little tiny body is going to expand and turn into this individual who can either do amazing things or fuck shit up completely. Such an innocent lump, just craving some…

Butternut squash dip

I’ve been obsessing a bit over butternut squash pure lately, and I decided to get some beet chips and blessed them with some butternut squash dip. May I tell you, that the beets thanked me hard and heavy for getting dipped into this orangy, mushy goodness. Not only is butternut squash delicious, it is also…

The balls of life

Hitting walls and falling right down the ditch. Curve balls, and all other kinds of hard nasty balls are coming at you at all directions and you just can’t avoid them. Splashing up all over your face, and knocking you the fuck out. That’s what balls can do. They’re not as innocent as they look,…
