Did you know that in Argentina people drink the most soft drinks in the world? Their annual consumption is 155 liters per capita.  Not far behind is number two, the USA with 154 liters per capita. Americans are one of the largest consumers of the soda drinks in the world because of their modern lifestyle and high incomes. As it is very common to drink colas or other soft drinks but I have heard many people saying that they cannot stop drinking them. I started to wonder what is it that makes drinking Coca-Cola so addictive? Is it the caffeine, sugar or the artificial sweeteners? Besides what's the harm in drinking Coca-Cola? Below I will examine these three issues. Caffeine content
The caffeine content in a 330ml serving of regular (sugar) Coca-Cola is about 32 mg. Compared to a a mug of coffee which contains 100 mg of caffeine that is a bit less. According to the Coca-Cola company the caffeine in their drinks is not addictive. However, if you are really sensitive to caffeine, you…

It's time for a top ten post! I'm actually a nerd who loves statistics and I also like to read other bloggers's top ten lists so here is mine. I was thinking that this is a perfect time to publish mine as I have been blogging for half a year now and as it is my summer holiday, I try to enjoy it and take it easy.
In the meanwhile here are the top ten most favourite posts:

My summer holiday is finally here! It feels amazing to know that I'll have enough time to rest and just do the things I love doing. But what are my summer holiday plans? In this post I will share these simple things I look forward doing.
In my summer holiday I am going to:
1. Swim

Last year when we were on a boat a lot I really got into swimming. As Finland is a land of thousands lakes we Finns really should take advantage of our clean and fresh lakes. Swimming in a cold water boosts your immunity and aids your body to recover from a workout. It truly is an empowering feeling after you rise from the cold water!

2. Invest in my recovery and sleep

Rest is so important. When I have had a good night's sleep, I am able to create interesting blog posts. I'll admit it that sometimes I have too much on my plate but that is because I get so easily excited about life and  new things that I don´t always notice how this will drain my energy levels in the long run. I am trying to preve…

Everyone loves fresh herbs, right? Lately I have added these fresh herbs in my smoothie and I think I have found the perfect smoothie recipe! The secret ingredient in this smoothie is the use of herbs. You can modify this recipe by altering the herb. I used lemon balm which is an excellent herb and gives a distinct flavour to the smoothie. By using different herbs you can really top up your smoothie and gain many health benefits. I personally love using herbs in every cooking! Healthy Herbal Smoothie
Lemon balm Protein powder* 1 frozen banana sunflower seeds* or a half avocado
1.Mix them in a mixer and enjoy!



Other herbs you can use: Mint
Mint is refreshing and has a lot of antioxidants. It is also rich in calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium. Mint also helps with digestive issues and bloating.
Basil
This herb is rich in essential oils which have anti-inflammtory properties. Basil has many anti-aging benefits because it is high in vitamin A and vitamins K and C.

Are you into Yoga? I sure am! But I haven't always been.. I started my yoga journey when we lived in Asia. Before that I had thought many times of starting yoga but I didn't have a good opportunity. So there I was living in Malaysia with so many experienced yoga practitioners and I thought this is the right. This is it. I signed for a Hatha Yoga class. As it turned out, this was love at first sight. At the end of the lesson I couldn't quite believe how relaxed and at peace I felt. So I continued to practise yoga at least once a week. After we moved back to Finland, I continued practising yoga when I found out about Yogaia I have used this website ever since. Nowadays I try to do yoga at least once a week from Yogaia and in the weekend mornings I do my own version of yoga. 
Here are benefits I have gained from practising Yoga:

It makes me more relaxed. After I have done yoga all the tension is gone from my body.

When I am really stressed out, yoga helps me to calm down and i…

There is a lot of controversial information and studies about supplements which may confuse people. Are they necessary? Which brands should I use? Is there any harm in taking them? As you all know I consume supplements but my intake of vitamins has reduced as I have studied about supplements. I wrote about in here.
In my opinion some supplements might give you extra boost if you live a stressful life and you are very active (this meaning working out a lot) and in some cases like if your diet is dairy-free, then definitely you should take calcium*, or if you are a vegetarian, you need vitamin B12* and in the northern countries you need vitamin D*. Besides these, there are a lot of studies about the benefits of taking probiotics to ensure your gut health. Studies about the importance of gut health has increased tremendously within last ten years. However, on other cases there are a few things you should consider before taking any supplements.
Some people may think that it won’t hurt yo…
