Doctor Says There Is Way Too Much Focus On The Fat Content Of Foods
There was an interesting article I read recently online titled: Saturated Fat Heart Disease ‘Myth’. It is great to see the truth about saturated fat finally making the news. If you have read some of my previous articles you might know that I am a big advocate of eating all types of natural fats even though they are demonised by food companies as being the cause of all sorts of problems, especially saturated fats. Just to remind you saturated fats come from foods such as butter, steak, eggs, bacon, sausage, nuts, coconut oil, fish oil, chocolate, cream and cheese.

The Chimp & The Peanut
Have you ever heard the story about the chimp and the peanut? It's very interesting and relates to us all in some way. Allow me to share the story… Once upon a time a researcher observed the behaviour of a group of chimps. I’m not sure why, but the researcher provided the chimps with paint, brushes and paper. They demonstrated to the chimps what should be done with these new “tools”. Then, if a chimp made an attempt at a paining (paintbrush on paper) they were rewarded with a peanut.

Why It’s Never Too Late To Start Exercise
The westernized world is pretty unhealthy. I come from Wales and more than a quarter of all over 40’s are obese. We are also an ageing nation, with around 45 per cent of us being over 45 years old. These figures, combined with the continued downward trend in activity levels, makes Wales a ticking time bomb when it comes to health and this is the same with many other countries today. We are getting older and sicker as a nation. As we get older, our bodies begin to change fast. Our muscles and bones become weaker, we get grey hair and wrinkles, and we get stiffer.

You Are Not Really In Control
Our brains are wonderful things, when they work properly. They say we have two voices/people inside each of us. Your brain and thoughts can make or break your success in anything you choose to do. Not sure if you are aware but your brain has two levels of function. Things are either done at a conscious level or the subconscious level. They are two very different mental places. Subconscious (or unconscious) stuff is usually done without you realising it. Like driving a car. Ever make a journey and arrive at your destination and the journey was a blur?r

Have You Ever Had An Ugly Day?
Do you ever get “Fat ugly days”? Days when you just feel fat and ugly and don’t want to leave the house? My wife was having a fat and ugly day yesterday according to her. She said it’s very common amongst women, especially at a certain time of the month. rn(and some men too of course) To be honest “fat ugly day” is not a term I had ever heard until a few years ago. I first heard it from a comedian and my wife thought it was hilarious and said she could relate to feeling like that.
