The deadly threat that's being ignored
14th March 2008

If you walked into my office right now, there's a fair chance you'd mistake it for one of those Christmas snowstorm things... You know, one of those little plastic trinkets that you shake to create a snow scene. I have so many articles, snippets and quotes torn out of papers and magazines that if Lara wandered in here with her hairdryer... WHOOSH! There'd be bits of paper floating around everywhere, with me standing in the middle like a ..

Do this before bedtime to reduce heart disease...
13th April 2007

New research suggests that I, Ray Collins, am a descendant of Montezuma II - Emperor of the Aztecs. Or maybe I was Montezuma in a past life. I can just see myself draped in gold and feathers, sitting on a throne with an army of maidens to do my bidding. And if Montezuma's wife was forever telling him he should give his chariot a wash and clear out the garage - then my theory is conclusive. So why do I think I'm a long lost son of the Aztecs. ..

Why the sweet shop could help you live longer
16th March 2007

Sometimes I think scientists decide to conduct a study specifically with me in mind… Really. Some of their research seems so bizarre, you'd think there were hundreds of scientists sitting around all day, scratching their eggshaped heads, wondering what to study next... 'Hey, have we tested the effects of a wind tunnel on a chicken before?' 'Yeah, we did that one back in '97. The results were inconclusive.' 'Hmmmm... how about side effects of ..

More proof that the good life is healthier for you...
16th February 2007

'Christmas comes but once a year', or so the saying goes… But judging by the news I heard this week, I have to disagree. In fact, this breakthrough is so important, it's something I put to the test that very day. “It's not for me, it's for the sake of the family…” I explained to Lara as I rushed past her into the garage. Not to clear it, but to hunt for something that could unexpectedly protect me from heart disease… Strengthen your heart in ..

How to treat asthma with water
28th January 2006

I've been getting back into water therapy again. Now, when I say this, you can forget the image of me lowering myself into a hot bath, clutching a single malt and a copy of a Rugby World… That's for poor Lara to witness. No, this all came about because a friend of mine, who has asthma, challenged me to find something 'genuinely weird, useful and interesting' that they could try to relieve their problems. Weird, useful, and interesting? Tha ..

Can this stop one of the world's biggest killers?
18th August 2006

They should come with warnings on them. They really should… “Danger! Could cause you to choke on corn flakes.” I am, of course, talking about the papers. Every week I read about some latest health development that causes me to laugh out loud, curse, or rant for a minute while Lara calmly asks the children if they'd like more toast. And this week it's news of yet ANOTHER miracle pill developed by the drugs companies to make me shake my head ..

The cheese that is actually good for your heart
25 Feb 2005

Typical isn't it? For years I've made an effort to look after my health -particularly my weight and my heart. I've jogged round parks, I've joined gyms I never go to, I've cut out fatty foods… all the things I'm meant to do... And now it turns out that a cheese could be one of the most powerful remedies for cardiovascular disease yet discovered. Of course, all the above are good for you, but it still comes as a surprise to me that a cheese cou ..

Breathe more easily with white wine
26 August 2005

So we were about to sit down for our evening meal and my daily glass of wine, when Lara said... 'White?' 'Yes,' I declared. 'It's time for a change. And anyway, I've found out something about white wine.' 'Right...' 'It's quite interesting, actually... it's really good for your lungs.' 'Oh no, Daddy,' said my eldest, clamping his hands to his ears. 'Not at the dinner table,' said Lara. 'But' 'Put it into one of your letters,' she said. 'T ..

What Whales Can Teach Us About Nutrition
16th June 2006

Jacques Cousteau, the intrepid undersea explorer once said, 'The future of nutrition is found in the ocean.' But it wasn't fish that he was talking about. I'm sure he was already aware of all those omega 3's and fish oils… or was he? …actually, I'm not 100% sure what he was talking about. But I BELIEVE he was talking about all those other nutritional secrets held within the ocean depths. As was Good Lifer, C.C, when he wrote me this email rec ..

Why there's no cure for heart disease
02 September 2005

It's one of the big cons of modern times. Since the late 1960s and 70s, scientists have been searching for a cure for cancer. 'We're nearly there,' they say every year, 'just give us some more cash.' And here we are in 2005. Cancer everywhere, and yet still no cure for cancer. Hmmm... They say the same about the cure for diabetes, and a host of ailments of the 21st Century. But could it be that the 'cure' isn't the answer? There are no pat ..
