Health and Fitness Articles From around the Web

A collection of health and fitness articles from around
the web!

What is this website? We're here to share our fitness funnies, adventures and to
fundraise money for Oxfam - click here for more information!

The articles on this page are shrouded in my own opinion of them. Whilst trying to be fair I'm also trying to workout what it is the article is actually saying.

Comments here are always welcome! So far we've covered the role of porn in the brain, female fertility, red meat, housework and whether mens faces are made for smacking.

If you like this but need a giggle check out my blog for a dose of fitness humour and the occasional existential crisis!

One in three adults in England 'on cusp' of diabetes via BBC news

TL;DR we have increasing amounts of people at the higher end of the glucose tolerance range - not realising it but almost at the point of being type two diabetic.

I chose this article today because it holds a lot of personal significance to me.
