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!

Sitting is the new smoking

Sitting is the new smoking

Yes, you read that right.

And that is frightening.

Long-term sitting down is now linked to more chronic illness and ill health such as heart disease, lung disease, diabetes etc than smoking is.
