Being diagnosed with heart disease or cancer is an emotionally difficult time for both patients and loved ones, with 50% of sufferers saying that emotional support is just as important to them as their medical treatment.

Yet more evidence is emerging that you really are a product of what you eat.

One of the authors suggested that cutting calories and eating a healthy diet may be a simple way to prevent memory loss.

The trouble is that with the stronger beers and wines now available, cheaper alcohol prices and the larger wine glasses and measures we pour ourselves at home these days, it’s all too easy to slip into the unsafe drinking zone without realising. What many of us still fail to understand is that you don’t have to be a drunk to be over the safe drinking limit.
