Can you believe we’re into December already? This year has definitely flown by!
This week’s health news has been fairly quiet, here are a couple of articles that peaked my interest:
Eating real food, cooked in a traditional manner is good for you shocker!

The only thing that irks me about this is the immediate leap to call for more studies into the efficacy of Omega 3 supplements. Simply eating fish of course is not profitable enough! Thankfully the lead scientist on the study, Dr Raji does acknowledge that:
“Studies like this definitely justify trials that will look at Omega-3 fatty acid supplements. Having said that, I would speculate that taking supplements is no substitute for a lifetime of eating fish.”
Well said that man!
Shed’s are good for men’s health – But for how long…

This is a good reminder that there is considerably more to health and well being than good diet and exercise alone.
Unfortunately, it seems like the nanny state want to ruin any benefits of men’s shed time by attempting to capture them inside and conduct health promotion activities on them…
A Chilling Warning?
This article totally horrifies me. Essentially, we have had to recruit scientists, and undoubtedly vast amounts of public money to discover that if you leave old people to rot in a home, with absolutely nothing to do, they will go mad more quickly than if you give them something to do for a couple of hours.
We have come to accept that physical and mental degeneration are a natural part of life. This is not true. Eat real food, and keep moving naturally and using your brain and there is absolutely no need to end up like these poor people.
Coffee Shop Caffeine Level “Vary Wildly”

In all honesty, if I was pregnant (highly unlikely I know), I wouldn’t consume anything prepared by any high street chain, and I think the strength of coffee is probably low on the list of things to worry about when you have trans and rancid fats, dubious additives, BPAs, huge loads of sugar and soy based oestrogens to worry about (though to make it clear I would avoid coffee altogether while pregnant as well).
However, as I’m pretty sure I’m not pregnant, I’m off to find Patisserie Francoise…
That’s it for this week, in the meanwhile, don’t forget there’s still time to order one of our Paleo Christmans Hampers for delivery Christmas week:
