Healthy school dinners

I have just come across an audio piece about school dinners in a north west primary school. I at first thought changing school dinners is the right thing to do but we all loved our chips and burgers. Now after listening to this, its a great reflection on how Jamie has changed the nations healthy diets. Have a listen on the LEP's website.

Banning Junk Food

According to experts, the NHS should follow schools and ban sugary drinks and snacks from hospitals and GP surgeries. The British Dental Health Foundation are calling to fill the vending machine with juices and healthy snacks instead of bottles of coke and chocolate. The NHS should lead by example and follow the 'healthy food' in the UK. Story follows on the BBC website.

FLU

It's been in the news today that people dont take flu seriously. 1/3 of people surveyed think flu is just a bad cold. People over 65 should have a flu jab every year, along with those who have diabetes, asthma, kidney or liver disease and also people who have had strokes and many more. People are urged to get there vaccinations as flu can be deadly.

A risk of getting cancer

The links to cancer are getting bigger and bigger. I've just read an article on the LEP website were they are now linking the size women are born, to breast cancer. Personally i think that nearly everything we seem to do is linked to cancer in some way. Take a look: http://www.lep.co.uk/nhshealth/Birth-size-linked-to-breast.4545180.jp
