Preparing to be a mum is like packing for a balmy beach holiday when your destination is Reykjavik. You think you've prepared yourself to handle the unexpected. You know it's not going to be all rainbows and REM sleep. But, well, you don't.

A common food additive that was discovered during Ireland’s potato famine has become Hollywood’s latest wellness hero. But is it worth the hype? My first encounter with sea moss was in 2009, during a (brief) foray into ‘raw veganism’.

Yet such a tonic already exists, in the form of a daily walk.

After discovering she didn't enjoy HIIT or running, Halliwell took to walking. Today only wild weather and weekly sleep-ins keep her from lacing up her shoes. I didn't come from a fitness-loving, sporty family. We used to laugh because my mum wouldn't even walk to our letterbox. In hindsight, it was far from funny, but it does explain my innate aversion to fitness.
