Taking control of one’s health has become increasingly important and happily, more achievable. It’s also something that I, personally, have been striving to do for many years.

Following on from my previous video about wine, I’ve now had a chance to talk to the author of “The very good news about wine” himself. What Tony Edwards, a science writer and investigative health journalist, had to tell me, is nothing short of miraculous. Drunk moderately, wine has incredibly beneficious properties and even protective ones against some of the …
In October 2023, a study came out of Harvard claiming that eating red meat can put you at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Hang on a minute? What?? It’s well known that eating excessive carbohydrates and sugary treats can lead to this diagnosis, but meat? Red meat contains no glucose or carbs This study made no sense to …
After posting about natural alternatives to sugar, it seems a good time to talk about sugar itself. Over consumption can have huge repercussions on our health, but it’s not always easy to avoid.

Fasting has been practised for thousands of years – sometimes for religious reasons, sometimes as a result of famine and sometimes by choice. And it turns out that, whatever the reason for going on a fast, it is hugely beneficial to health, reducing obesity and even reversing conditions such as type 2 diabetes. If only fasting wasn’t so gruelling to …
Cataracts are not the most glamorous subject I know, but when you consider it’s the leading cause of blindness in people over 40 (isn’t 40 way too young for such a thing??) and that you will have a one in two chance of getting them by the age of 80, it’s worth having a closer look to find out if …
Today we are looking at health from a different perspective. From inside our mouths to be specific. Yup that’s right. Our mouths can harbour all kinds of bacteria if not looked after properly and this can lead to problems to our health generally. Luckily we have Grace Clark (who works in the dental field) to tell us all about it …
