Making every mouthful matter
Just over 7 days ago I embarked on a mission.
Well actually this ship set sail about 5 years ago but for the sake of this post let’s say we’re sticking to the 7 days.
In terms of the important elements of this equation the time scale is really of little relevance though when compared to the topic of the day which is of grave importance.

This post links to this previous sharing & this explanation of why I decided to do this.
OK so let’s begin by saying that I actually don’t consume refined/artificial sugars in any form, & I equally don’t really eat natural sugars such as raw honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar with any regularity. What I do have however is fruit & dried fruit, kombucha & green juices with things like citrus & green apples in them.
Now before you all throw your hands up & say “Who is this holier than thou being” this was the idea – everyone can start from their own level, mine being that I go Black Ops style, devilishly dark green AKA no forms of sugars AT ALL.
I might have thought it was going to be easy…..it wasn’t.

Sugar, sugar everywhere & yep it’s literally in all things these days.
Over the last year or so increasing exponential levels of attention have begun to be paid to the detrimental health effects of this food stuff but why? And where do we draw the line?
Well this is exactly what Jazz Leaf & I have attempted to answer with this simple challenge, a happy accident that came about following an incredibly interesting exchange on Instagram when I shared a post on natural sweeteners & whether they’re actually any better for us than the classic artificial ones. (Find that here). We’ve fondly titled it ‘The Sugar Free 7’ because it can literally be that swift, the change you experience when you remove sugars from your diet.
Now to summarise quickly on exactly why you may want to give this a go there are a few main reasons.

Back in early January I had the pleasure of witnessing one of the most exciting revolutions I have seen in recent history – the rebranding of Weight Watchers as ‘WW‘.
Now this may not seem like a normal thing for me to say (but then I’d hope by now you were somewhat used to my occasionally convoluted rambling) but hopefully as you continue to read all will become clear.
Well we can all only hope so…..

The rise in popularity of plant based eating has seemed to gather almost exponential levels of steam of late, & with ‘Veganuary’ now ticked off for another year I felt it apt to share this interview that I did with Good Hemp for those who wish to explore the health & environmentally supportive benefits of increasing these foods within their daily life as more of an ongoing thing.
One of my guiding principles here however is of distinction – just because it’s vegan doesn’t make it healthy, & actually it doesn’t ensure it is environmentally friendly either. So when I refer to plant based or vegan foods I am talking of those that are naturally free from animal products rather than those that have been created to fill the gap that removing meat, fish, eggs, dairy, honey etc leaves behind.
Time.
Perhaps the most precious commodity & yet also potentially the most undervalued.
When it comes to the non-tangible things in life I am sure it’s not just me who perhaps doesn’t pay as much attention to them as I do to those that I can hold in my hand or see the physical results of.
But that’s where today’s post will hopefully manage to do both – my words acting as a mind jolting reminder, & then the opportunity to win 1 of any the range of JORD’s beautifully unique watches being a real time (pardon the pun), pop on your wrist reinforcement of the importance of making the most of every minute. They have stunning timepieces for both men & women, or if you just want to know more about this guy here then go right ahead!
