HOW DO THE HOLIDAYS AFFECT YOUR HEART?
The holidays are a time of kicking back and relaxing in whatever way you know best. But usually that includes a bit of overdoing – over-eating, over-drinking, over-smoking and over-indulgence in general. And of course under-exercising.
AIR POLLUTION: THE SILENT KILLER?
We all know air pollution isn’t great, right? But HOW MUCH do we actually know about the effects of air pollution on our health?
ALCOHOL: FRIEND OR FOE?
Well both. You see, moderation is the key word here. One drink (and I’m not talking about those jumbo wine glasses) can actually – dare I say it – be good for you.
WHY NOT KEEP YOUR HEART SMILING TOO?
The body is incredibly designed – everything is linked. It depends on how you look at it. Is this just another risk factor for heart disease or is this another way to curb heart disease? Ultimately you choose the course of your health.
