These boots are made for walking...

Do you know what month it is? Yes it's May... but did you know it's also National Walking Month?

That's right a whole month dedicated to walking! It's one the simplest forms of exercise and almost everyone can do - so don't even bother coming up with any excuses.

Walking is a great way to kick start a healthy lifestyle... as it allows you to exercise without having to go out running for miles - plus walking is something we can fit into our daily routines easily, whether it's taking the stairs, walking to work or even getting off the bus earlier.

What are you waiting for... it's time to get on your walking boots and get outside!

Kick start the day with a pot of fibre!

Today, new studies reveal that eating a bowl of breakfast cereal daily can increase a heart attack survivors' chances of living longer! 

Researchers found that diets with a fibre increase - especially cereals - was the link with lower death rates, and those who ate the most fibre had a 25% lower chance of dying in the nine years after their heart attack, compared to those who ate the least.

But remember this isn't the only benefit of fibre, as is also helps reduce blood cholesterol, improve glucose levels and lower blood pressure, just to name a few. 

A fibre based breakfast really is a great way to kick start the day... take our Porridge for instance, it's quick and easy to make, extremely tasty and packed full of fibre!

Surfs Up!

Although the sunshine may have disappeared, Summer is definitely on its way which means we can hit the beaches and surf!

If you're a huge surfing fan then Hawaii is the place to be. Here we see local surfer Yuri Soledade riding a massive 40-foot wave at Peahi on Maui's North Shore! This area is known for some of the biggest and most powerful waves according to Yuri, definitely a surfers dream location!

If these waves seem a bit daunting, (they do to us!), maybe stay local instead and hit the waves in Cornwall! :-)

Earth Day 2014!

Did you know that it is Earth Day today? 

If not, then where have you been... it's been happening for years, plus it's trending on Twitter, not once... but TWICE!! 

What better way to celebrate then heading out and about with the kids, take them to the local park for a game of tig or head out on a brisk walk! Whatever you do, don't forget to take along a umbrella!
