Doing all the “right” things but still feel like your health habits aren’t quite adding up? 👀

It might be time to look at the bigger picture.

🏋️ Working out doesn’t make hours of sitting irrelevant.
🥗 One “healthy” food doesn’t make your whole diet balanced.
😴 Eight hours in bed doesn’t always mean eight hours of quality sleep.

None of this means your healthy habits are wasted. Far from it.

It’s a reminder that health isn’t built from one perfect habit. It’s built from lots of small behaviours working together.

That’s why Elfie helps you keep track of more of your health in one place, so you can understand your habits, spot patterns and keep making progress. 💚

Protein gets all the attention. But are we sleeping on fibre? 👀

Enter , the viral trend encouraging people to pack more fibre into their diets.

And for once, the internet might be onto something.

Many people worldwide don’t consume enough fibre, despite its role in supporting gut health and healthy eating patterns that help protect against major chronic diseases. 🌾🫘🥦 (World Health Organization )

So, should you start cramming as much fibre as possible onto your plate? Not quite.

We asked our Elfie nutritionists to cut through the hype and explain what’s actually worth taking from the trend.

💊 Taking supplements “just in case”? More isn’t always better.

From doubling up on the same nutrients to taking doses you don’t need, your daily supplement routine may be worth a closer look.

And if you take regular medication, there’s another reason to check: some supplements can affect how certain medicines work.

Stress doesn’t always look like a breakdown.

Sometimes, it’s feeling unusually forgetful. Struggling to switch off. A tense jaw. An unsettled stomach. Or suddenly feeling overwhelmed by things you’d normally brush off.

When stress sticks around for weeks or months, your body can start showing it in ways that are easy to miss.

The signs might seem small, but they’re worth paying attention to. 💛

Microplastics have been found in the human brain. 🧠

So, should we be worried? And can we actually reduce our exposure? 👀

A label shows what is inside the food. Elfie helps you understand what it means for you.

Reading a nutrition label is an important first step, but it can be hard to understand the full story.

With Elfie’s Nutrition feature, your food choices become part of a bigger picture: your meals, your habits, your routine and your health journey over time.

🌿 Your gut and your skin may be more connected than you think.

The bacteria living in your gut don’t just help with digestion. They also interact with your immune system and may influence inflammation, which is why researchers are exploring the fascinating gut-skin axis.

From diet and stress to sleep and digestion, your everyday habits could be affecting your skin in ways you didn’t expect.

📱 With Elfie, you can track your skin with photos over time, monitor your gut health, and spot patterns instead of guessing.

💬 Have you ever noticed your skin change after stress, poor sleep or certain foods? Tell us in the comments.

The excitement of the World Cup often brings friends and family together to cheer, snack, celebrate and stay up for “just one more match”. 🎉

But match-day habits can add up quickly. Sugary drinks, alcohol, salty snacks, fried foods, late nights and hours of sitting can all affect the body in different ways, from energy and digestion to blood sugar, blood pressure, sleep and heart health.

The good news? You don’t need to skip the fun.

A few simple choices can help you enjoy the football while still looking after your health.

Here are two healthier match-day snacks to try:

🥣 Roasted Chickpeas
Ingredients:
• 2 cups cooked chickpeas (or canned, rinsed and drained)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Black pepper

Method: Pat the chickpeas dry, toss with the oil and seasonings, then roast at 200°C for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and crispy.

💚 Why they’re good for you: High in fibre and plant-based protein, they’re a satisfying alternative to crisps.

🍌 Banana Peanut Butter Bites
Ingredients:
• 2 bananas, sliced
• 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
• Cinnamon (optional)

Method: Top each banana slice with a little peanut butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and serve.

💚 Why they’re good for you: Bananas provide fibre and potassium, while peanut butter adds protein and healthy fats to help keep you satisfied.
