Top 10 Reasons Why We Need to Experience the Outdoors More
As we know, in today’s world we are more inclined to sit at home and watch TV or play video games, rather than explore the outdoors. Our society has made it acceptable to sit at home and watch TV or play video games for six hours per day, rather than explore the wilderness. Although there are some benefits to playing video games like improving coordination and enhancing multitasking skills, we still need to have a healthy balance between indoor and outdoor activities. According to the American Psychological Association, 44 percent of Americans have reported that their stress levels have increased over the past five years. Granted there are a lot of factors which has caused the stress increase, but one of the major ones is having a sedentary lifestyle and being cooped up inside our bedrooms.

Four Simple Ways or Rules to Lose Weight
Over-complicated diets, rigorous exercise regimes and models all over Instagram give us, as women, a complex in more ways than one. To be the perfect mum, colleague, friend, girlfriend, exercise buddy, wife, we need to keep on top of our lives, and more than likely the lives of our partners, children, dogs, bosses and anyone else who'd like us to look after them, frankly.

Why Hiking Is Shifting Boundaries
More and more, we see people going nuts for nature. People getting outside, traveling far away, taking vacation time from work, to go hiking. Your family, friends, and coworkers. They come back, generally raving about their experience. "The views were awesome," or, "Everything was so gorgeous out there," frequently grace the lips of those recently returned.

Living with Type-1 Diabetes
I have type-1 diabetes. I was diagnosed when I was ten years old. I’ve been living with this for 14 years now. It was life changing. In every aspect. How I spent my time, what I ate, what I thought about, what clothes I wore. Today I want to explain what I do every single day living with type-1 diabetes. I hope some of you can relate and feel connected to a community after reading this. It can be hard to find fellow type-1 diabetics online so if you enjoy reading about this topic I hope you stick around.

My Plant-Based Journey
I made the decision to become a plant-based (vegan) eater a year and a half ago. It wasn't a tough one, as a matter of fact, nothing has ever made so much sense. It all started in Vietnam, the destination where my friend and I became acquaintances with an already converted vegan. Sure, I had heard the term before but never had I looked into it. At that point, I already didn't eat too much meat and my dairy intake had been reduced since my dad was diagnosed with lymphoma back in 2012. I was practically a quarter of a way there!

How I Began to Drink More Water. Top Story - June 2018.
You read everywhere that you need to drink water every week, every day, every minute, and every second to stay healthy. However, there are challenges to that request. For some, it's not an issue based on how a person has grown up based on their parents' strict teachings or self-discipline at an early age, but for those—like myself—who grew up on the thought process of—"Eat & drink what you want while you're young"— which has its limitations. Well, never have I been so wrong.
