What are the best plant-based protein foods? Dec 17, 2025

Show notes

Vegetarians and vegans, do you ever find it difficult to keep your diet balanced? Meat-eaters, if you’ve ever considered going veggie, was that something that dissuaded you?

It’s certainly fair to say that simply loading up on fruit and veg isn’t enough to stick to a balanced meat-free diet. You really need to be including grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, perhaps not on a daily basis, but as a regular source of protein.

Where exactly are the best sources? Is there real risk of a protein deficiency as a vegetarian? What about legumes? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Why are Christmas films so popular? Dec 16, 2025

Show notes

If you were to turn on your TV right now, or open up Netflix, the chances of you stumbling upon a cheesy Christmas movie would be pretty high. They tend to be full of clichés, cringeworthy one-liners and predictable plots, but still we just can't seem to get enough.

Let’s take a moment to delve into the psychology behind Christmas movies, and how they got to be so successful. Mormon director George Albert Smith released the first Christmas film : a short silent drama called Santa Claus, in 1898, which showed Santa visiting a house on Christmas eve. Moving into the 20th century, the history of Christmas movies reflects the story of Hollywood itself. In the US, they really became a genre, or even tradition, in their own right. The first wave came in the 1990s.

Who made the first Christmas film? If they’re repetitive and predictable, how come we keep coming back for more? What are the key ingredients for a good Christmas film then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

How to discard emotional baggage? Dec 16, 2025

Emotional baggage is a term we use to describe the unresolved issues, stress, pain, and difficulties that we carry around from our past experiences. It can weigh us down, affect our relationships, and even prevent us from achieving our goals. Here are some tips on how to let go and move on.

One way is to shift our thinking. If we struggle with regret, guilt, or resentment because of our past, we may need to change our perspective and focus on the positive aspects of our life.

Why does Norway offer a Christmas tree to London every year? Dec 15, 2025

Show notes

If you have ever been to London over Christmas then you could not have missed the lights on oxford street and of course the huge Christmas tree standing proud in Trafalgar Square. But it is a little-known fact that this tree is actually a gift from Norway.

The very first tree was offered to England back in 1947 and every year since a tree is given to the British people from Norway to thank them for their support during WWII. During the war, Norway was occupied by Germany. The country, which had been at peace for over 150 years, surrendered quickly. But if Hitler thought that getting Norway to collaborate would be easy he was wrong. The king of Norway Haakon VII, in a fraught journey that nearly cost him his life on numerous occasions, fled to London.

When did this tradition start? How did the UK support Norway? How does it get to London from Norway? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is the snowball method of paying back debt? Dec 15, 2025

Show notes

The snowball method is based on the idea of paying off your smallest debt first, while making minimum payments on the rest.

Then, you take the money you were paying on that debt and apply it to the next smallest debt, and so on until you’re debt-free. This way, you create a snowball effect that builds momentum and motivation as you see your debts disappear one by one.

What is orthorexia, the disorder which sees healthy eating go too far? Dec 12, 2025

Show notes

According to the American National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, around 9% of the US population are affected by an eating disorder. We’ve all heard of anorexia, bulimia and binge eating, which are among the most commonly diagnosed. But there is also orthorexia.

It’s called orthorexia, coming from the Latin words “orthos”, meaning correct and “orexis”, meaning appetite. American doctor Steven Bratman coined the term in 1997. To put it simply, orthorexia is a need to eat healthy at all costs, to the extent that it becomes an obsession. Those affected start cutting out certain foods completely, or even seeing them as dangerous when they’re not really. Scientifically speaking, orthorexia isn’t recognised as an eating disorder in its own right, at least not yet. So it’s hard to find any precise data on how many people are affected. But it’s still more dangerous than you might think.

Isn’t eating healthily recommended by medical professionals? How can I find out if I suffer from orthorexia? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠
