Obesity and Ill Health
Posted on 10:29am Wednesday 7th April 2010
Looking through a clothing catalogue recently I was amazed at how much larger some dress sizes go. Is it now considered normal for dress sizes to go up to a size 32? If so is that not encouraging people to remain unhealthy?

Oh well - there is always that New Year’s resolution
Posted on 9:48am Monday 14th December 2009
If like me you’ve been watching TV documentaries on food recently, don’t despair! Basic foods are still okay to eat. I myself was amazed though, at what food manufacturers do to increase the size of certain meats like bacon and chicken, and I dare say this process is used on other foods too! Well, at least I now understand why some supermarket labels say “no added water”. Let’s just hope they are telling the truth!

We are all aware of reading labels on food packaging and have been kept informed of the dangers of eating too much fat and salt, but what about sugars? They say we should keep an eye on our intake of refined sugars as that too can cause obesity, bad teeth and diabetes.

Posted on 3:14pm Friday 2nd October 2009
Society seems to demand that we should look a certain way, and buy certain products. Society sometimes makes youngsters feel inadequate if they can’t live up to societies rigid standards.

Dieting Dilemmas
Posted on 5:57pm Monday 7th September 2009
Why is it that when you go to the doctor for dietary advice they just weigh you, and give you a couple of sheets of information regarding what foods are considered healthy and what foods are not? Most of us already know how much we weigh and with all the diet programs on television, and dietary advice in magazines we should understand by now what a healthy diet is. The medical profession understand that some prescribed drugs that their patients have to take, can have side effects which will increase their weight. Pain killers for example! But they have to weigh up the benefits of taking such drugs against the side effects.
