Some good news for all of you beer drinkers out there. Beer may help to prevent Alzheimers!! Regularly drinking just one or two pints can help to reduce the sticky plaque build up that contributes to the disease. And there I was thinking that it was no good for your memory, especially after a night out. As with all things though, moderation is the key,so this is no excuse to start binge drinking and justifying it as a preventative medicine.

Exercising for around 12 hours per week is good for you according to new research which suggests that will help stave off serious illnesses such as strokes and heart attacks and even diabetes. That five times more than the government and the World Health Organisation currently recommend. Official guidelines fall well short of a truly healthy lifestyle and most of us should be doing much more exercise.

Now for some dietary news; the main thing to aggravate a sensitive gut is a high sugar and low fibre diet. Processed foods in particular will encourage the growth of yeast and unhealthy gut bacteria. Hot and spicy foods should also be avoided, along with acidic foods such as coffee and alcohol. Overuse of some medications can also have an adverse effect.

Take care of your teeth. Unhealthy teeth and gums can be linked to various different health conditions, particularly heart problems. Flossing may be a waste of time as it doesn’t completely clean between the teeth, instead it is now considered that the tiny brushes that clean between the teeth are a much better option as they actually clean the surface.
