Captain Kirk is 92 this week – boy has he taken this famous Star Trek line seriously…
‘Don’t die. That’s it; that’s the secret, simply keep living and try not to slow down.’ he says. And that is exactly how William Shatner lives his life: remaining active – physically, professionally, and socially.
‘Say yes to the opportunities life is offering. Say yes to life, yes to dinner, yes to going out and yes to something new. Because time is too short to lose one opportunity to sacrifice another.’

‘The UK has both the highest rates of ultra-processed-food consumption in children and the highest rates of obesity in Europe. We need to start prioritising our children’s diet above the short-term interest of giant food companies and their Westminster lobbyists.

Scary stats – a dire warning.
Talking of obesity, is the new ‘Skinny Jab’, which trials show can enable us to lose 15% of our bodyweight over 2 years, an answer?

Dr Hazel has a beautiful new website and a bestselling book, which is a bargain this month:

Bargain.
This seems to be a pattern at ours recently: Fish something that you can’t remember what it is because you haven’t labelled it out of the freezer and add a mix of fresh veg to it….

Works for me!
Ain’t that the truth. We seem to be awash with it… Specific resources are featured on our healthy mind pages.
