I feel that this is the perfect word to set the tone for my year ahead… And you may have already noticed that the main colour theme of HadleyHealth is gold 💛

You are capable of anything you want to achieve. Make this year YOUR YEAR. The first and crucial step is to set your goals...

For many of us, the holiday season inevitably entails an element of indulgence and change of routine. But, weight gain is not inevitable, especially if you follow these top tips…

I write this as the festive season is getting into full swing. A this time of year it’s totally normal to feel tired or drained at times… But here are some simple ways to reboot and boost energy levels naturally…

Fibre is VERY important. Why? It leaves our stomach undigested and ends up in our colon, where it feeds friendly gut bacteria, generating numerous potential health benefits…

In honour of #WorldAntibioticAwarenessWeek I wanted to focus briefly on exactly that… Unfortunately at some time most of us will have to take a course of antibiotics. Whilst they are lifesavers, antibiotics target ALL bacteria — the good and the bad, potentially causing digestive, skin and mood issues.

This is my affirmation for today.

I have a few thoughts on how we can attract more opportunities into our lives…

I have struggled with my skin since I was a teenager… It was only in my late 20s that the impact of diet on my skin really dawned on me. Someone suggested that quitting dairy had worked wonders for a friend and maybe it was worth a try?

Did you know that the average life expectancy for men in the US is almost 5 years less (76.2 yrs) than women (81 yrs)? Here in the UAE it’s 77.1 yrs for men and 79.1 yrs for women. In the UK, it’s 79.9 yrs for men and 82.9 yrs for women.

There is joy everywhere, but at times it can be overshadowed by pain, sadness or anxiety if we allow it. I have a lot to be grateful for... And I want to make sure I don’t take anything for granted…

Who loves a latte? 

As we edge into winter, we crave hot drinks like lattes and hot chocolate to help warm us up on the inside… But even better if we can get a serious health boost at the same time! Homemade turmeric latte is THE perfect healthy alternative to coffee or hot chocolate! Here are a few reasons why…

Do you feel that at certain times, the road to success and happiness feels endless?

On these days I find myself, often subconsciously, searching for validation why I should not engage in activities that I find more demanding, rather than tackle them head on - it can be something super simple like telling ourselves our body needs rest, not a workout!

Stepping into sunlight, flipping a light switch, turning on our laptop or phone… all of these result in our eyes being exposed to a range of visible (& often invisible) light rays.

Do you agree that at times we really need to hear this...? On repeat in fact... sometimes more frequently than others. Motivation and staying motivated (whatever it is we are seeking to achieve) can be a fickle friend…

Box breathing is a really easy but powerful relaxation technique that helps return breathing to its normal rhythm…

What’s the all the fuss about stretching? 

Whether you’ve been sitting all day and could use a break, or you’re about to go for a run, stretching is a super easy and healthy habit that really pays off. 

Surprising fact: Açai is quite high in fat (mostly unsaturated), compared other fruits, with 5g fat in ½ cup of frozen açai (half a large avo has ~15g fat).Açai are medium-sized, dark purple berries that look like a mix between blueberries & grapes and have various potential health benefits. Here are a few of my favourites…

F E A R is an emotion induced by perceived danger or punishment, which ultimately causes behavioural changes. It can be a source of motivation, but it's generally not an effective or sustainable motivator.

I don’t consider myself to have particularly green fingers so it’s lucky that sprouts basically grow themselves! And these little nutrient powerhouses are well worth putting in the (minimal) effort! With highly concentrated nutritional benefits versus eating mature vegetables, sprouts can be added to salads, sandwiches, stir fries, pasta & smoothies etc.

We are magnets. Our attitude, thoughts and actions determine what we attract. Like attracts like.

The Law of Attraction, has been extensively documented in recent years but I rarely come across people who fully realise, or vocalise, the potential impact that the Law of Attraction has on their daily life.
