In this study from France, 67,581 middle-aged women (40-65) were followed for 10 years, while their diet and disease status in relation to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) were recorded regularly.

Paul Rogers — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 05:07:51 +0000

The brain wears out; it’s as simple (or as complex) as that. The ageing brain has a propensity to lose function, but you can do a lot to slow or halt this progress. Various dementias and Alzheimer’s disease are possible outcomes. Both result in substantial and progressive loss of mental capacity — and in the case [...]

New Thesis Theme for FoodFitHealth

Paul Rogers — Tue, 04 May 2010 07:28:51 +0000

I just swapped the WordPress theme over to Thesis 1.7. All my blogs will be using this now. It has a great deal of flexibility and relative ease of use and I don’t know a WordPress theme to match it. Still some tweaking to do, but it slotted in without much hassle at all. By [...]

I just got back from an amazing trekking holiday in Patagonia in Chile and Argentina – two months in some wild and beautiful country across the Andes, lakes and volcanoes. The pic below is from a tough hut-to-hut walk outside Bariloche in Argentina. My partner and I are not new to this sort of activity, having trekked [...]

Traditional dietary advice for prevention of heart disease says we should keep our intake of saturated fat low and eat more unsaturated fats like vegetable seed and nut oils and olive oil, which have some saturated fat but are much higher in the polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Although some vegetable oils like coconut and palm oils are high [...]

The Paleo diet and its many forms has made quite a splash over the last decade on various internet web sites and forums, all supported by books like Neanderthin and The Paleo Diet.

Some men and women might actually be metabolically normal with a large waistline — especially if they are physically active – but I wouldn’t count on it. [...]
