The serotonin secret
A few days ago I was scrolling on my phone and bumped into a video about Serotonin. Oh dear, another long scientific talk! No. It was actually about the connection about the most powerful chemical in our beautiful bodies, SEROTONIN and the GUT. Serotonin plays a key role in such body functions as mood, sleep,…
Why have a holistic approach to your dental care?
I was skeptical at first, as anyone would feel when a “scientifically proven fact” is proven wrong. Curiosity has helped me realize that I have been told so much rubbish by some pharmaceutical companies in the past.

Chai latte benefits

Autumn is a special time for me, not only because nature looks stunning in those plum-honey-mustard-berry-tiger shades (full-color palette available in the closest park, or on Pinterest :P) but also because I feel an abstract melancholy, and an intense flow to nurture life at ease.
