Following on from part one’s tips on how to improve your nutrition at work, this week I’m continuing the theme with tips 5-8 covering workouts, stretches and other cunning things that I’ve found I can do at the office without anyone noticing, to keep me loose. 5. Keep a tennis ball in your desk drawer [...]
Following on from all that technical research yesterday, here are my top ten tips on reducing and controlling your blood cholesterol levels.

John Berardi is usually well worth listening to when it comes to nutrition (though I don’t always agree with the views of some of the other authors on the blog), and they often have write-ups on interesting dietary topics and scientific studies. Last week there was [...]

Having recently got back from a cycle touring holiday in France, I’ve already started counting down the weeks until my next holiday. Only 6 weeks away, and it is my annual week spent lying on a beach. While my holiday mind is occupied with thoughts of wetsuits and bikinis that are still buried at the [...]
