Let's face it, life is busy! Everyday there's hustle and bustle and the consequence of living in such a fast-paced world can often be increased stress, pressure and lack of energy. When faced with stressful conditions, we often adopt unhealthy behaviours including less sleep and poor nutrition, including too much caffeine and sugar.
