There have been a number of interesting health stories on the web in April. Kind hearted souls that we are, we thought that we would post a few of post five of our favourites. Hopefully there will be something of interest to you.
- 25 things you probably didn't know about your body and health - Great fun article from MSN Health and Fitness. There are bound to be some facts on here that will amaze you - for example, did you know that Baking Soda can help whiten teeth?
- Drinking Hot tea linked to Cancer/Walnuts may help prevent it - we've had a couple of 'good food', 'bad food' stories over the past couple of weeks, these two were two of the more intriguing.
- USA Today: Young adults health worse than 10-15 years ago - worrying report on the poor state of health of the 50 million 18-29 year olds in America. Research from the National Centre of Health Statistics suggests that about one-third of this age group are obese, and 30% do not have health insurance. Would these statistics be relatively similar in the UK?
- An outgoing nature could help you live longer - On a lighter note is this inspirational post from Health.com stating that being open and outgoing can help to mange stress and increase life expectancy. Cheer up - its good for you!
- Bacon Sandwiches can help cure hangovers - Researchers from Newcastle University have claimed that eating a Bacon Sandwich after a night out can help by "boosting the level of amines - which clear the head". Elin Roberts told Marie Claire:
‘Food doesn't soak up the alcohol but it does increase your metabolism helping you deal with the after-effects of over indulgence. So food will often help you feel better.‘Bread is high in carbohydrates and bacon is full of protein, which breaks down into amino acids. Your body needs these amino acids, so eating them will make you feel good.’
