A healthy lifestyle

(Dr. Robert Axelrad, 2013)

It is difficult to have a healthy lifestyle, if you are surrounded by people who love their food.

Oily food fatty food might seem as an option when you still young, but think about the future.

When you are in your early 20s and you want a sexy bikini body but all the oily food never gave you a chance.

People should start to consider how they would like to look in 5-6 years down the line

Eating healthy food does not stop you from any delicious meals; you cans still have your delicious foods that are healthy and not oily.

Eat your vegetables; drink a lot of water and most important exercise regularly.

• 400 grams (14 ounces) mixed frozen berries
• 120 grams (4 ounces) caster sugar ( superfine sugar)

• Grated zest of 1 lemon

Directions

For the berry sauce: Place the frozen berries in a medium saucepan and heat for a few minutes until they soften, crushing them with the fork or spoon. Add the sugar, lemon zest and 1/4 cup water and cook until thickened and reduced, for a further 5 minutes. Set aside and cool.

For the layers: Whisk the cream cheese until soft and smooth in a mixing dish. Add the yoghurt a little at a time, beating well after each addition to prevent any lumps from forming. Continue until all the yoghurt is mixed in with the cream cheese.
