Walk & Talk with Health Coach

One beautiful day among many cloudy and wet ones... and unplanned walk (they seem to be the best!) From the Granton Square, we had two options. To turn to the left, pass the new development site and walk all the way to the wast beaches at Gypsy Brae towards the Cramond. This is a very quiet, but also a longer walk. This time, we decided to take the shorter East route towards Newhaven, passing the Breakwater wall (a walk on its own) along the (unfortunately) very busy road until we could turn to the lighthouse and rest. It is worthwhile as the path continues along the peaceful shore. There are options to get shelter or rest if needed.

We also know WHY, vaguely...  Yet still, most of us spend majority of our lives sitting.  Sitting at work, at home, in the car, on the bus or train, even bike has got a seat!?

Look at the “Highlanders diet” from a higher perspective, or the perspective of a researcher. I personally eat half of my food by volume in the form of vegetables and 90% plant-based :) If I choose meat and dairy, I try to have local, homemade, leftover bones (aimed for pet food, here in the UK!) or at least organic. My worst health problems always followed after longer periods o...

A very happy and healthy new year to all! Two-bus journey away from the busy Central Belt of Scotland. What a treat! Photos taken by my second-hand £80 smartphone. Location: Pitlochry, the Hill above the Lettoch Farm and the river Garry. Walk difficulty: easy enough but all paths can be dangerous when frozen. Walks can be adjusted to take 2-4 hours.
