My Current Favourite Soup

This soup is just so easy to prepare and make. I always use left-over bones or some chicken part from the baked or grilled chicken. It's always yummy. Just sautee the onion and garlic and add the chicken. Add water for the stock. I really dislike using stock from the shops. It's doesn't taste real at all.

Brake Unhealthy Habits

Bad habit 1: Not drinking enough waterSometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger and our body doesn’t always show signals of thirst until we are dehydrated.

You need 2.5 litres a day, so that’s a glass every hour. Drink water after you go to the toilet and have...
