When a team or sportsperson decides on which kit they will wear for their next competition, it’s likely they’ll consider things such as breathability and flexibility. But, the colour of kit should really be considered too. In fact, research has discovered colour makes a difference in sports performance and could even lead to a win. Colour psychology in general has been around for some time and has resulted in interesting findings such as bold red encourages confidence, and yellow can encourage high energy. There could be more to this than we think — 50% of UK Premier League winners wore red, and four out of Brazil’s five World Cup wins were wearing yellow.

I’ve got to admit, I’m much more of a summer cyclist, choosing to leave my bike in the garage during the winter, unless I *really* need it. This is partly because, once my hands and feet get cold, they take approximately two and a bit weeks to defrost and partly because of hazards like icy roads in the morning and poor visibility in the evening.

I used to smoke my breakfast. But, when I say ‘smoke’, I’m not talking mackerel, I’m talking cigarettes. Yes, my breakfast for my entire adult life until I was thirty-six years old was as many cups of tea and cigarettes I could fit in before leaving the house.

I’d like to say that now I no longer smoke, I’m up at dawn making myself a big healthy breakfast to set me up for the day. I’d be lying though because I rarely have breakfast and if I do, it’s just a smoothie (or Nutriblasts as I call them now I’ve got a Nutribullet – you can see my review of it here on my food blog) and nothing more substantial than that.

Although a smoothie is undeniably healthier than a cigarette for breakfast, it’s still not ideal but I can’t face eating first thing in the morning, despite the benefits it would bring, as shown in the below infographic.
