For years, Peperami sticks had a rap – most people assumed that they were full of rubbish, and although they tasted great, we all accepted that they probably weren’t very healthy. But in recent years we’ve noticed that the Peperami brand has tried to reposition itself as a healthy snack. We’ve started seeing Peperami sticks included in lunch meal deals…

There has been a lot of chat about Cistanche deserticola recently. Mainly for those who building muscle and trying to support their levels of testosterone. Cistanche is a plant that grows in dry conditions worldwide and requires another plant to survive. Its stem is used in medicine for various purposes, such as constipation, tetanus, infertility, and overall health improvement –…

We’ve already spoken about powerful Nootropics (like Lion’s Mane) but we’ve only recently found Alpha-GPC, or L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine, in Science.  Alpha-GPC, or L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine, is a compound naturally produced in the body from choline and is also available as a dietary supplement. It is known to potentially increase the levels of acetylcholine, a vital neurotransmitter related to memory and learning. While people…

Soup is a comforting meal which millions of people enjoy every day. Making soup from scratch can take a while, so many people will often opt for a ready-made alternative, such as a Cup a Soup. Bachelors Cup a Soup is the biggest cup soup brand out there (although there are lots to choose from), with many people choosing to…

Smoothies are very popular – people love the idea of getting lots of fruit in one drink, plus they’re usually tasty too. Innocent is by far the biggest and best-known brand in the smoothie market, and we think it’s well-deserved – Innocent smoothies are delicious, and we love the brand. But while there is no denying that they’re delicious, are…

Butter is one of those food products which is simple but amazing – we’d eat it on its own if society wouldn’t frown on us. There are lots of butter brands out there all claiming to be the best, so we thought it would be useful to round up the best butter you can buy based on our experiences and…

Recently, there has been a lot in the news about weight loss injections. For a little while, they seemed like a revolutionary way to lose weight quickly and almost effortlessly. However, these injections are starting to be marred with rumors of serious side effects and life-threatening conditions. In the interim, Berberine is taking up the slack. There are two major…

As you can tell, we love to talk about micro-optimizations and supplementation to enhance your performance at the gym. Today we are going to be looking at Beta-alanine, which seems like a science experiment but there is a lot of hype behind supplements containing the compound (particularly among elite/top-level athletes). Beta-alanine is a naturally occurring non-essential amino acid in the…

Yoghurt is a delicious snack which is very convenient and consumed by millions of people every day. But there are lots of yoghurts out there which definitely can’t be described as healthy – they’re often high in fat, high in calories, and packed with sugar. Luckily, there are also lots of healthy yoghurts out there. We think a healthy yoghurt…

London is packed with amazing markets, and we’ve published guides about a few of our favourites, with our Brick Lane Market guide being one of the most popular pages on our website. Billingsgate Fish Market has a very different vibe to the Brick Lane Market, but it is still excellent, just for entirely different reasons. Instead of trendy clothes and…

Despite our best efforts, many of us fail to get sufficient amounts of vitamins into our diet through our diets. This is where supplements like multivitamins can be really useful – these supplements can help us get all of the vitamins we need in just one tablet. Women’s bodies work differently from men’s, so it makes sense that there should…

The health benefits of apple cider vinegar are well documented, and we’ve previously published a guide about the best apple cider vinegar you can buy because we think it’s such an impressive product. But we also understand that not everybody is happy to drink apple cider vinegar like us (we actually like the taste which is why we even recommended…

Often when you’re following a recipe online, it will have actually been written by someone from the USA. This is especially true if you’re trying to make a classic American dish such as key lime pie. One slightly annoying thing which can often happen is that an ingredient will appear in the recipe which you don’t immediately recognise. This can…

Nutella is easily the most popular chocolate spread in the world (although the brand self describes as a “hazelnut spread”) and there is no denying that Nutella is very tasty. But as we noted in another guide, Nutella definitely can’t be described as healthy. Luckily, there are lots of alternative chocolate spreads out there which manage to be both tasty…

Most of us love chocolate, and there are very few people who don’t love Nutella – it’s chocolate in spread form and can be spread on everything from toast to fruit. It might seem obvious that a chocolate spread wouldn’t be healthy, but Nutella is a bit different from your average chocolate spread – as the brand likes to remind…

If you’re feeling hungry in between meals then it can often be really difficult to find a healthy snack which isn’t a piece of fruit or some carrot sticks. And it can be even harder to find a healthy snack which actually tastes good. That’s why Nakd bars are really interesting to us – these bars claim to be a…

We all try to stick to 3 meals per day, but it’s also quite normal to fancy a snack at certain points throughout the day. Unfortunately, it’s often these snacks which are the unhealthiest part of our day. Seaweed has emerged as an ingredient which can be used to make a variety of snacks which are not only healthy but…

If you’re interested in supplementation, then you should already be well aware of how powerful the combination of vitamin D3 and K2 (usually found in veg and fermented foods) is. They are a super couple which are significantly less effective without each other. When taking Vitamin D3, vitamin K2 ensures that calcium is absorbed into the bone mass, often taking…

On this blog, we have covered a few topics that are relevant to both bodybuilding and male health, and through the research for testosterone boosters and whether or not hair loss remedies actually work, we heard a lot about Turkesterone.  Turkesterone is an ecdysteroid, which is a naturally occurring compound found in insects and certain plants. The compound is derived…

In the UK, we love a Chinese takeaway. In fact, it is the most popular takeaway option in the UK according to YouGov. Part of why we love a Chinese takeaway so much is that it’s very rich in flavour and usually dripping in sauce, but this also means it is typically quite unhealthy and high in calories. When we…
