Weekly Round up - Health

You don't have time to trawl through all of the millions of publiations to find what you are looking for. I'm going to be bringing you a round-up of what I have found most interesting in Health news over the last week.

I hope you're as excited as I am. Feel free to skip over the articles you don't care about and click on the ones that you do.

Hope you find something that helps you or someone you love.

Emotional Eating - Learned not Inherited

One for the parents out there, especially little ones. Do you fall into the trap of giving your child a treat when they are upset? You might be doing more harm than good when it comes to their weight management for the rest of their life. What other tactics can you use instead of food to calm the child shaped monster in front of you?

Cannaboid Oil - Treating Epilepsy in Children

CBD oil is fast becoming a treatment for all sorts of ailments (and IMO rightly so). THC, the psychoactive portion of the cannabis leaf has, in the most part, been removed unless it is specifically prescribed. Pure CBD oil can be bought over the counter.

Is Influenza to blame for a stagnation in life expectancy

I doubt it. But the daily mail has to blame something non-controversial. Maybe we've just reached a limit, maybe it's obesity (remember we're looking at average age - deaths in the whole population). Either way, life expectancy has stopped getting longer - we are definitely doing something wrong!!

Is the answer to a longer life in our feet?

Having a strong foot builds a stable foundation for all other movement, walking, running, preventing trips and falls. How on earth do you get stronger feet? Take your shoes off and go for a walk around (probably grass is best to begin with)
