The past tells a story


Warning graphic Photo following


A few months ago I turned the T.V on during the day and watched a show called Dr Oz. Dr Oz is an affable American doctor, first discovered by daytime t.v queen Oprah. I like the show because he discusses all manners of things, even what some would consider to be cringeworthy. I have learnt so many new things since watching. Anyway the point of this post was not too advertise for Dr Oz, but rather point you to an interesting article he has posted today on his facebook page. I have included a link for you to read, please do have a look. It is something I have a huge interest in, seeing as for nearly thirty years I have been amongst those who have been told how deathly unhealthy I was due to my lifestyle choices.

It certainly raises discussion as to why many medical people attribute atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) to modern day lifestyle choices. And what does this mean for the  future? Have we been fed a whole lot of bumpkiss? I am not suggesting for one moment that we should all get out there and bust our chops on fat laden, salty foods, but maybe, just maybe, we might be able to have a little bit of what we fancy, without the guilt?

What do you think?

  2. Thanks Rosemary. Someone suggested that the blog would look more tizzy if I out pics in the header. I did not know how to so a kind person helped me by building the collage. Still trying to work out how to fit it properly across the top.
    Great article and yes raises some questions.
