#Teacher5aday #healthyliving #challenge #Veganuary 2017

Hello there @teacher5aday community!

With all those pledges getting in, Martyn (@MartynReah ) has kindly allowed me to help out with #Teacher5aday this January by focusing on healthy living.

This is a subject very close to my heart. I am passionate about helping others to develop a critical understanding of what healthy living might mean in a broad sense. We hear a lot of hype in the media about healthy living, healthy foods, the “latest” research (in fact, more like research that has interesting soundbites to sell news), the newest diet, etc.

What is this blog about, you ask ?

I have been actively involved on twitter for a little over a year now and I have seen a lot of loud voices talking about a lot of different issues. Many people blog about a particular issue they love and become a part of a specific community within twitter or the blogosphere. I suppose the internet is a free-thinking zone and I feel like it is time I made my own contribution, in my own particular way.
