  • Yoga Infographic

    Nice little infographic from Furniture@Work The one thing that does my tree in about working in an office all day, is how stiff my glutes up to my neck are.  The stiff neck can give me pretty bad headaches.

    Dalai Lama – The art of happiness – Summary & Review

    This book is written by a psychologist / psychotherapist who spent time, interviewing the Dalai Lama over a number of days.

    Aniracetam Review UK

    So I bought this supplement from https://thoughtfoods.co.uk I took one tablet on Wednesday, and had a terrible headache a few hours later.

  • NAC – n acetyl l cysteine

    NAC powder can be bought from most health food and supplement stores, such as bulkpowders.co.uk I first read about it a few weeks ago when researching allergies and gut inflammation.

  • The Culture High – Summary
