Four simple things to improve your weekend.. and any other day!

Another week that is finally ending and you must be exhausted, like everyone that works hard all week. Sometimes we just forget the simplest things that can make us feel so good at the end of the day! When you get home after long hours at the office and your brain is just not working anymore, try to enjoy the things that are right there for you to improve your day. Here are four things that I adore and highly recommend:

Hear some nice music, according to your mood

If you feel the need to sing or dance, don't be shy, that's fine with me, it's not like I'm there to watch you!

Spoil your pets

You know what, they also deserve it, and the more you give, the more you get!

A cup of hot tea

Perfect to warm your body and soul!

Sugar is sweet, sugar is bitter

The truth is we all love sugar!  Although it is so good to indulge in all the great stuff we can find at the supermarket, the sad thing is that it is proven that the amount of sugar we are consuming on a daily basis will have disastrous consequences on our health.

It's not like we don't have information about what we are eating and drinking these days, sometimes we just don't care, sometimes we just need that guilty pleasure, other times it's just easier and quicker to choose junk food. Anyway, everyone is free to choose a different lifestyle, we just have to be aware that our eating habits will dictate (or at least have a huge influence) on what we are going to be in the future.

Regarding this matter, Wall Street bank Credit Suisse has published the video Sugar: Sweet With a Bitter Aftertaste, which explains all the numbers about sugar consumption and what countries are in the worst situation. I think this video is a great portrait of what's happening in the food industry: since everyone discovered that fat is bad for us, they replaced it by sugar, and nobody seems to care now. 

Let's face it, I'm not going to erase sugar from my life, that would be an impossible mission; first of all I would be a miserable person, and second, our bodies need sugar to work. Still, I think this video is a really interesting way to explain the "evolution of sugar". Take a look if you have the opportunity,  hopefully you will learn something from it as I did!
