With your full days worth of food delivered each evening, ready for the following day, it means that you are always prepared with a healthy and balanced meal when you need it. The meals are cooked by a Michelin trained chef, and each day’s food comes with breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks (for morning and afternoon). The Menu options include Keto, Dairy Free, Halal, Keto, Performance, Balanced 2000kcal, Balanced 1600kcal etc and more, so it’s easy to find the right option whatever your dietary requirements.

We tried three days worth of meals on the Halal balanced plan, and overall I was very impressed with the service. The convenience of using Love Yourself is brilliant, as you don’t need to think at all about your food for the day – since every thing is already set out for you including snacks. This totally prevents the chance to make food choices in a rush that you might regret later, and means that all of your food is really balanced and varied.

Watermelon is one of the most popular fruits with children, especially during the summer months when it’s so refreshing. Luckily, as well as being a delicious treat, it also offers a lot of great health benefits for your children and entire family. Here, we will take a look at ten of the health benefits of Watermelon 

1. Hydration

Watermelon is made up of 92% water, so if you have little ones who are not drinking enough water during the hot summer days then watermelon could be an extra tool in your belt to keep your child hydrated.

   2. Highly Nutritious 

One cup of watermelon goes a great way towards your recommended daily allowance of many vitamins and minerals…

• Vitamin C: 21% of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI)
• Vitamin A: 18% of the RDI
• Potassium: 5% of the RDI
• Magnesium: 4% of the RDI
• Vitamins B1, B5 and B6: 3% of the RDI

3. High in Vitamin C

As you can see from the figures above, watermelon is a great source of Vitamin C. This is such a super vitamin, helping to boost the immune system and fight against colds as well as helping the body to produce collagen which helps keep your eyesight sharp.

This sophisticated, crater-like, deeply chocolatey cake, with the merest hint of cinnamon and a generous scrunch of sea salt, is so popular amongst my friends that it comes out at almost any opportunity.  I stole the recipe from a friend of my parents when I was eight (which gives you an idea of how easy it is).  Do not be put off by the look of the cake when it comes out of the oven – it is utterly delicious and looks fantastic when decorated!

The winter months can be awfully challenging if you’re trying to avoid piling on the pounds. The combination of lower temperatures, shorter days and unappealing weather can cause many of us to go into hibernation mode. We’ll stay indoors as much as possible and resort to warming comfort foods that more often or not are high in carbohydrates. The combination of a winter diet and reduced exercise can soon lead to weight gain – and that’s without even bringing Christmas into the equation!

While you’re focusing on your weight, don’t forget to look after the rest of your health too – even down to maintaining your ears with ear wax removal 

We shouldn’t feel bad about our winter eating choices. There are solid evolutionary reasons why our bodies want to store fat in the winter months. It’s a barrier against the cold, and the actual act of eating can help make us feel warmer. However, our ancestors didn’t have central heating and generally enjoyed a far more active lifestyle than we do – even during the winter, when ‘enjoyed’ maybe isn’t the right word to use.
