Regen tegen de ramen, een kop thee binnen handbereik en jij lekker warm op de bank. Klinkt als het perfecte herfsttafereel, toch? Voor mij wel. Alleen staat dat dagelijkse stappendoel nog wel op m'n to-dolijstje. Gelukkig is er een manier om ook op de meest deprimerende dagen lekker in beweging te blijven: de walking pad. We kennen het allemaal: je hebt jezelf voorgenomen om vandaag écht even een flinke wandeling te maken, maar zodra je de gordijnen opentrekt en die grijze lucht ziet, verdwijnt dat goede voornemen als sneeuw voor de zon. En geef je eens ongelijk. Met regen, wind en...

Autumn has finally really started in terms of weather. Shorter days, less sunlight, and although spending more time indoors can be cozier, we are gradually entering the winter months. This can make it more difficult to get enough of certain nutrients, such as vitamin D, which our body produces under the influence of sunlight. Which supplements are really worth it in autumn and winter, and when is the best time to take them?

Although not everyone...

There are plenty of snacks that feel like comfort food, but at the same time are relatively low in calories. From something sweet with tea to a savory snack for the couch: these are the tasty options you want to have at home when you're in the mood to snack. Popcorn A movie night without popcorn? That just can't happen. Good news: popcorn that you make yourself with a little oil or without oil can be a great light snack. A serving of about 20 grams of plain popcorn contains around 75 to 80 calories. Craving some extra flavor? Then add some paprika powder, cinnamon or...

You see them everywhere these days: electrolyte powders, trendy supplements, and fancy water bottles that promise to elevate your sports performance. This is certainly true, but it can get quite expensive. But to be honest? It doesn't have to be that complicated and expensive at all. Because anyone who enjoys sports, moves a lot, or notices they lose quite a bit of fluid on hot days has probably heard of electrolytes. And there's good news for everyone who doesn't want to spend dozens of euros on powders and supplements: you can also just check at the supermarket....

A hundred reasons I can list why I am so happy with my Gazelle e-bike. No ridiculous parking costs (I’m also one of those fools who sometimes forgets to check out, and then that parking bill is even more bitter than it already was), no traffic jams or roadworks that affect your arrival time, good for the environment and for body and soul, and I could go on like this for a while. If you, like me, are very dependent on the bike, you want no hassle and no unpleasant surprises. That’s why I choose Gazelle, a real bike brand that has been making bikes for 134 (!) years and is proud...

Are you lying awake for hours, have you lost interest in doing fun things, and have to drag yourself out of bed to go to work? Mmm... That doesn't sound good. ‘What do I have then?’ I hear you thinking. That could indicate a burnout. But when do you really know that you have one? Have you had these complaints for more than six months? Then it's time to pay attention: You are tired and sleep poorly Stress can do a lot to your body. Just think back to how you felt right before you...

For a few months now, I've been using the Hatch Restore alarm clock. With this high-tech alarm clock, you can set your wake-up or wind-down routine in advance, simulating a sunrise, using soothing music to wake you up, or playing rain sounds to help you fall asleep better. I'm a big fan, but the downside is that someone had to bring it from America, and it also comes with a hefty price tag. A popular alarm clock that is available in the Netherlands is the Philips Wake-up Light. This is sold for about €70, but Action is now selling their own...

"For most people, the honeymoon period is a time when you feel that puppy love again. The excitement is at its peak, as you both feel intensely happy and in love. This naturally benefits the sex life, as excitement means intensity. Unfortunately, that was very different in my case. Don't get me wrong, I love my husband. We care deeply for each other, so marriage was definitely not a chore. I feel safe with him and he is my best friend; after all, we have been together for 14 years. But the only thing that has been...

Do you know that feeling? Your to-do list grows faster than you can check it off, your WhatsApp has 30 unread messages, and your Zara shopping cart is fuller than your bank account – aaaah, stress. Stress is a common problem in our society, especially with the advent of phones and our busy schedules. That stress can lead to physical complaints such as headaches, fatigue, and palpitations, but also to mental complaints such as irritability, concentration problems, sleep issues, or – you know them – mood swings. Ugh. A bit about that stress Let's be honest: stress is basically the party crasher of daily life...
