Dear Reader,
|
|
Emily, John, Lewis, Rory, Alistair, Adam, Chris,
Laura, Paddy… I listen to them all, plugging my ears with the latest
political news dissected in the way that podcasts now can – this is not
newsreading, this is news as entertainment. And because it is
generally so dramatic nowadays (like a former American president being
convicted of felony crimes), it’s like living in a live-streamed
reality show. But is it good for me to be
imbibing so much? And am I addicted to it? Quite possibly. After all,
it doesn’t empower me to do anything about it. It’s not making me more
intellectual or, more importantly, if you want to not be a nervous
wreck, more relaxed. So I’ve been handed a useful book, Stop Reading The News, by Rolf Dobelli. And instead of walking home with The
Newsagents, I’m listening to Anne Glenconner’s
biography, Whatever Next? A question that could well be applied to our
political universe, but instead I’m in a world of aristocratic
idiosyncrasy and it’s a lot less anxiety-making, if no less dramatic.
Have a great week.

Why Is
Everyone Talking About Magnesium?
|
|
I’ve known for ages – because I’m a terrible sleeper
– that magnesium could be one of the secret weapons in the insomniac’s
arsenal. But the mineral has plenty of other benefits – are you getting enough?

5 Signs
Your Hormones Are Imbalanced
|
|
I’ve recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, so
I’m going to be on tablets forever to try and balance it out. But a friend
also told me that cutting down gluten and lactose could be beneficial. I’m
going to make enquiries. How balanced are your hormones? Here are some key signs to look
for.

Are You
Swicy Enough?
|
|
Are you sweet or are you spicy, or are you just plain
swicy? What do I care, but it seems our snacks do. A flood of foodstuffs
from ice cream to popcorn are now coming with a piquant punch. Get your fix here.
