    Good to read about this Mo:

    A few words from the article:
    "Official statistics show one in ten children are now obese by the age of five, while one in five are obese by the time they reach the age of 11.

    Mabbutt said: “Over the years children have been given the option to do more things. We need to get them back out exercising and get them back into sport.

    “If we deal with their diets as well it will have a knock-on effect where we have healthier children."


    Reduce the carbs, reduce the sugar, increase the fat and with moderate protein plus some exercise could this be a winner  Question

    'Back of the net' as someone once said ....it would be nice to think so  Smile

    All the best Jan

    Children are the future of this and every other country. They are being shafted with ludicrous University fees, lying and greedy politicians, greed personified at every turn. I have faith in these kids, they are far better educated than my generation, they are not easily fooled.

    Give ‘em a chance and they will turn around this crap hole this country has become. They are not fooled with promises and bullshit, they are not encumbered with racism, dogma and fear, they see it like it is. Our kids can see the score, and they are not fooling for the big (american) dream.

    Do you want to know the answer for being happy and chilled out? I will tell you, be beholden to no man or woman. Very difficult to achieve,  but it can be done.

    Was chatting with a friend this afternoon. She was saying how there seems to be rising birth defects (she has a step-granddaughter with mixed up gender and jumbled kidneys/gut, etc.) and the younger generation has little stamina.

    What they consume after birth is a great factor, but a lot of their health and strength is built in the womb. The current food trends makes us all sick - not just overfed but undernourished, but also clogged with toxins. Chemicals, drugs, pollution, food that isn't food, etc.

    Strong, healthy plants need strong, healthy stock. In my friend's case, the baby's father is a drug addict, with undoubtedly compromised health - and seed, but I can't help feeling that due to the SAD/SUK diet and those other factors, many people are, like so much of the 'holographic' food, seemingly ok on the outside, but weak on the inside.

    Whilst things like obesity, fatigue, depression, etc., etc., are viewed as the norm these days, they are still an indication of poor health in some form and that the body isn't working properly. We may hate to think that we are in any way responsible for our children's health problems, or that our parents were in any way responsible for ours, but sadly, it is highly likely.

    Our parents didn't know, of course, and neither did we. We all bought into the current nutritional 'wisdom' of the time, or if we are older, our grandparent's, our parent's health and ours and our children's down the line was undoubtedly damaged by rationing after the wars, and great limitations in the building-block foods.

    The paradox is that they were deficient because good food wasn't available, we are deficient because we have too much of the wrong kind of food.

    Weird, eh?

    We are fortunate in having jumped off the bandwagon and looking outside the box, but way, way too many still buy into the bad science. Until, or even if that ever changes, sickness and disease will be the norm, not health....

    Thanks for the link Mo ....... no illness is easy and when first diagnosed a whole host of thoughts /emotions hit. It is frightening, it is confusing and so many people do turn to the internet.

    As the article says "Chris Pennell is used to doing things the hard way. Ever since he was diagnosed with type one diabetes aged 19, the Worcester Warriors full-back realised life was going to be full of challenges.

    In a fog of confusion over what that meant for his dreams of being a professional rugby player, Pennell frantically Googled as much out of hope as he was searching for rock-solid answers. That Sir Steve Redgrave, who won this fifth consecutive gold medal at the Sydney Olympics three years after finding out that he was diabetic, was at the top of his search results gave Pennell all the inspiration he needed to continue.

    “When I was told I had no idea what impact it would have on my rugby,” Pennell said. “To find out that Sir Steve Redgrave was diagnosed late on but still went on to achieve what he did just gave me that instant reassurance and confidence that you can still achieve what you want to achieve.” "

    For any diagnosis, if a well known person can help bring the illness to the attention of many then that has to be a good thing. From there it opens up even more reading, research, information.

    All the best Jan
