I love slow cooking, it's so easy that anyone can do it. With Slow Cooking, you "SET & FORGET". The recipe that I am sharing with you is Slow Cooked Duck Leg Ragu. This ragu is a low carb recipe and I enjoy serving it with cauliflower mash, zucchini noodles, or sauteed brussels sprout.  It also freezes well which is great for leftovers. Duck leg is such a lovely meat to use in the slow cooker, it is nutrient dense, and has so much flavour. It would however be a protein that many households would not choose. The health benefits of duck include being rich in protein, iron, Vitamin B and it is a great source of glycine which can help to boost the immune system. Here is a great recipe you can use to enjoy all the flavours of duck.

When following the Ketogenic diet your daily food intake would be made up of approximately 70% fat, 15-25% protein and the remaining 5% in low energy carbohydrates. The Keto diet is not zero carbohydrates which is a big mistake many people make when starting this type of eating plan. The goal of following the Keto diet is to get your body into Ketosis. This occurs when the body runs out of glycogen as its main source of fuel for energy and switches over to fat as its preferred source. There are many things you need to consider when undertaking this diet and this info-graphic provides you with very simple and clear illustrations of what to do.

I have shared many great articles over the past years showing how people simple ways to prevent or overcome various health problems. It is fair to say that a majority of these articles relate more to people aged in their 40s plus, as most of the health problems we see tend to become very obvious as we age. We tend to forget that people in their 20s face many different struggles, and in this modern age of technology advancing at an astonishingly rapid rate we can take for granted the health problems affecting them. In this article I asked our trainer Kim Logan who is in 25 to explore the big problems facing our young generation today.
