Constant Alertness, Stress and Weight
At the beginning of the new year many people wanted to improve their health as well as their weight. Especially because we constantly hear that being overweight is an added risk with COVID-19 .

January is a month for reflection. As the New Year begins, we tend to look back and evaluate our previous year while looking to the future, eagerly anticipating what the forthcoming year may hold. January is a month of hope and is full of promise as the year is waiting to begin and our resolutions […]
Have you thought about your Health Retirement Plan?
My what? Your Health Retirement Plan. Saving towards our retirement is considered responsible and just plain ‘good sense’.

What you feed… grows!
Since the beginning of March, the Coronavirus has affected the Netherlands and influenced our lives in a way no one could ever have imagined or even believed was possible.
