In the last third of a European trip, it’s been on my mind that I quaff coffee on an empty stomach, eat chocolate croissants for breakfast and break all my own rules, yet still manage to “make the toilet” as some would say here in Europe. And I am talking the healthy kind.

Increasingly I am becoming aware of how powerful our mentality is on wellbeing.

The Europeans think we have such a relaxed life in Australia. I can tell you first hand (and so can my body) that European life in its authentic form is better for me that a bowl of broccoli.

Something to consider when undertaking a detox I think.

Meanwhile, buon appettito!
