Granola
WHAT? There are two kinds of granola. There’s the crack-in-a-box stuff you could eat by the fistful after a late night at work meets an empty fridge. Then there’s the homemade nutritional powerhouse packed with nuts, fruit and seeds.
THE TRIBE: She’s desperate to find a socially acceptable alternative to her beloved piled-high-with-sugary-clusters bowl, and a savoury breakfast isn’t going to cut it. Spends an incomprehensible amount of time in health food stores appreciating all the packaged goods. Constantly runs her oven on a low setting in order to dehydrate nuts and toast oats.
THE NUTRITION: With nutrient-loaded dried fruits and healthy fats from the nuts, plus cholesterol-reducing oats, granola will keep you full and feel like a treat. But it can be laden with sugar, which isn’t an ideal way to break your fast. “You have to be a granola snob,” says nutritionist Angelique Panagos. “Look for a variety that uses whole grains as opposed to anything refined, and no sugar. Then, add some low-sugar fruit for sweetness and a spice, like cinnamon, for flavour.” When it comes to toppings, Panagos suggests either full-fat milk or plain yoghurt. But even if you’ve got the contents of your breakfast nailed, poor portion control can derail your nutrition goals. “Aim for 30–40g,” says Panagos. “That’s not to say you need to start weighing your food – start with a few tablespoons, then add the yoghurt or milk and top with a few berries and seeds.” With granola, less really is more.

9 Biggest Lies In Wellness
Whether activating your glutes or your almonds, the struggle to decipher #fitspo fact from fiction is real. Between social media influencers, Reddit zealots and that pushy guy at the supplement store, some seriously ridiculous – and potentially dangerous – ideas have moved from fringe theory to health gospel. It doesn’t help that the booming wellness industry, worth an estimated $4.5 trillion, is difficult to regulate. So to help you navigate these heavily filtered waters, here are the new health virtues that shouldn’t be – and a few simple tactics you can use to actually improve your life.

Here, the 32-year-old talks backing yourself and the secret behind her beauty brand, Elle Effect.
If it's not a Hell Yeah, it's a NO!

The AI Revolution Is Coming: Here's How To Future -Proof Your Career
Robots are coming for your job. Not only yours, but another 20 million jobs around the world over the next 10 years. That’s how media outlets reported on the results of a 2019 paper released by global forecaster Oxford Economics. If you think that sounds rather dystopian, wait until your anxiety-fuelled googling brings up news headlines claiming it’s actually 800 million jobs – not a meagre 20 mill – that will be eliminated by robots by the time 2030 hits.
