Are we losing touch with reality? Recently I saw a reel/short video of a sketch with people on the bus. To me it was obviously actors and not a real life situation unfolding. There was no talking, just

If you have any interest in health and nutrition you've probably come across talk about seed oils being bad for you. It's not a new discussion, but it's certainly become more prominent in recent years.

My grandmother had type 2 diabetes since before I was born. We were all very aware of it because she controlled it mostly through her diet. We knew she couldn't eat sweetened foods or if she did it was

In previous posts briefly I touched on mindset and nutrition's roles in ageing. This time I'm going to go into activity and exercise's roles a bit more. In my research on various topics around physical
