Greek Salad & Lamb Pittas:

By Catherine Tyldesley

Greece is one of our favourite holiday destinations and I must admit- a large part of the reason for this is the food! Grilled meats, pitta, feta, olives… all of the Greek foods we know and love feature heavily in our home recipes when back in the UK.

So I wanted to share one of our favourite recipes with you. It’s pretty much a weekly
go-to because it’s fast, simple, super healthy and super tasty! Very nutritionally dense – full of protein, good fats, prebiotics and immuneboosting garlic!
Parental units- from our family to yours it’s our Greek Lamb Pitta Salad!

Simple Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp Every Day

The great thing about brain training is that it doesn’t require anything fancy, it’s more about building small habits that challenge your mind in different ways. Reading a book, even for just a few minutes a day, helps your brain stay engaged. Solving puzzles, like crosswords or Sudoku, also gives your brain a workout, pushing it to think critically and solve problems. It’s not about doing these things perfectly. It’s about keeping the brain active and flexible, like any other muscle.
