When your colleagues take good care of you 🙂

Cherries and berries are nutrient powerhouses that are heroes for healthy ageing, so don't forget to stock up on them this summer... this plateful is now already gone 🙂

Burrata, basil, green pesto, and green leafy salad

Burrata, basil, green pesto, and green leafy salad, on a whole grain loaf drizzled with balsamico & sprinkled with lavander - I can't complain! Deliciousness, vitamin C for the immune system, fibre for a healthy heart, lycopene for healthy skin, healthy nutrients for a healthy body - it's all in there! Happy weekend, AB #nutritionalmedicine #healthyfoodie #yummm #wholefoodsdiet #plantbaseddiet #healthy #md #notsponsoredjustsharing

Stressed from working at home? Here's my working d

Stressed from working at home? Here's my working desk, where the final bits & pieces of PhD on healthy ageing are getting written 💕 I've turned my desk into a 'writing retreat' - here are some of my tips for making an at-home workplace feel more relaxed:

👉 Declutter and make your desk pretty or cool 🎈🎁. Definitely make sure you have plenty of (day)light. If this means you have to put your desk in the kitchen, then so be it!
👉 Only checking email when neccessary (depending on your type of work). Try using the offline mode. Alternatively, turn off email notifications so they do not disturb you as you work.
👉 Inspiring/calming music or youtube videos of forest and nature/river sounds, often they come with amazingly beautiful footage (my right screen atm)🌳 🍃🌿
👉 Really good herbal teas (certain blends can have a very calming aroma - I like lavander and 'Tension Tamer')
👉 Preparing healthy snacks at the beginning of the day (mandarines, bananas, fresh veggies such as cucumber & bell peppers) to have them ready in times of stress 🍉🍊
👉 Screensaver photo of a favourite holiday (Bali in my case 😊). I can almost feel the breeze! (Or is that just my Dutch house leaking cold air? 🤣)
👉 Set a timer for doing work you dread - 20/40/60 minutes ONLY to work on it. After that, you're not allowed to work on it anymore :p (a little pressure works wonders on completing tasks we dread)
👉 Going outside for walks often and stretching your legs!

Let the zen begin 💆‍♀️🌿

Oh ps. I promise I'll start sharing more recipes again soon!!! 😉
