Remove bad mojo
The experiences you’ve had in your life could very well be hanging on your walls, sitting on your shelves or stuffed under your bed collecting dust. When negative memories are associated with things you keep in your home, the reminders will be draining without you even being aware of it. Consciously find and remove any items in your home that are associated with undesirable feelings. Removing this bad mojo will put you one step closer to enjoying a serene space. simplehomesimplelife.com

Ditch Desserts After Meals
Indulging in desserts is a delightful experience, but consuming them immediately after meals can contribute to unnecessary calorie intake. Once the body receives sufficient calories from main meals, any dessert afterward contributes to an excess stored as fat. To mitigate this, consider enjoying desserts as standalone snacks between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner. This simple adjustment can prevent issues like a bulging waistline, weight gain, high triglycerides, and elevated LDL cholesterol, promoting better overall health. fitcareblog.com
Avoid eating late
Finish eating at least three hours before bed to avoid going to bed with a full stomach. Eating too late in an evening is also associated with disruptions to the gut microbiome as it operates on the same circadian rhythm as we do. gutsi.co.nz
End of week soup
Take everything left in your veggie drawer, stems included. Chop everything and sauté with some garlic and olive oil on a medium heat in a large pot for about three minutes. Add two kettles of boiled water and around 6 chicken stock cubes. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Use your old bread crusts for croutons and top with pesto and Parmesan, if you have any. This makes a dinner for family of six in 30 minutes. Ruth, Cambridge for lovefoodhatewaste.co.nz
