Did you know that apple’s skin is a much bigger deal than the apple itself? When you eat the whole apple, you consume a good amount of insoluble fibre and a big amount of a particular soluble fibre called pectin. Pectin has a lot of health benefits and plays a vital role in the prevention and treatment of many diseases. It's also essential for skin health as it helps to detox heavy metals and maintains bowel health. While pectin is found in both the skin and the flesh of an apple, its highest concentrations are in the skin. That's why you should avoid peeling off the apple’s skin if you want to get everything it has to offer.

However, it's crucial to soak your fruit in baking soda solution before eating to make sure to get rid of the wax and pesticides residues. Just mix one teaspoon of soda in two cups of water, and then leave to soak for 15 minutes, rinse thoroughly and you are good to go! @ Ibiza, Spain

BRAIN FOOD SNACKS • Whenever I’m writing or studying something I like to have my snacks close to me. The right choice of snacks can help you to boost your memory and productivity. Plus snacking always makes the brainstorming process more enjoyable, you just have to do it right!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍓 Fresh berries enhance brain function and prevent age-related memory loss. If you can't have fresh berries, then try dry cranberries which help to improve memory and coordination.
🥭 Mangoes contain Vitamin B-6 which plays important role in the synthesis of serotonin and dopamine in the brain.
🍌 Bananas rich in potassium and magnesium which help to sharpen the brain’s focus.
🍫 Dark chocolate helps with brain function by improving blood flow to the brain and by boosting the production of endorphins.
🥜 The brain loves nuts, especially walnuts as they have a high concentration of the nourishing Omega-3 fatty acid.
🍏 Apples with peanut butter is a great brain food snack. Apples provide a source of fibre, while peanut butter also offers a healthy dose of fats and protein.
🍵 Antioxidants in matcha latte/ turmeric latte with coconut milk can help you with mental clarity. Healthy fats in coconut milk will give you a mood boost and help to keep brain cells active.
🍋 Water with lemon is a great way to burst energy. Lemon contains glucose and potassium, which are critical for energy levels.
🥑 Whole-grain crackers with a healthy dip like avocado or hummus. A good example is quinoa crackers which are high in fibre, low in cholesterol and also have a calming effect on your mind.
