Under-eating adds stress. It starves your body of key nutrients needed for energy, hormone balance, and …

Training for the 200 km Ride to Conquer Cancer hasn’t just been about physical endurance—it’s been a reminder of what consistent, healthy habits make possible.
I didn’t wake up one day and decide to take on a challenge like this.
It came from years of investing in my health, one habit at a time.
Choosing movement, even when my schedule is full.
Eating to fuel my energy, not restrict myself.
Making sleep and recovery a …

Hello everyone,
My name is Valentina Constantinescu. After 30 years in health care, I’m now retired—but my passion for helping people stay healthy is as strong as ever.
A few years ago, during the pandemic, I started growing microgreens to support my colleagues—nurses, doctors, and other health professionals—helping them stay nourished during those challenging times. What started as a small gesture soon grew into something much more: I …

A sneaky little trick I have been using in my hair since I bleached my hair and practically killed it 😬
I have always had thick hair, but after going blonde and back to brunette my hair was struggling!!!
I used rosemary water in my hair every night for 6 months and now I use it once a week to keep those benefits coming!
It is super simple to make and can last in the fridge for at least a month!
