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!

"More weight loss operations for diabetes" via BBC news 

TL;DR - The NHS spends 10% of its budget on diabetes. NICE is suggesting we operate on overweight people to lower this cost.

"Lose weight by tricking body into thinking it's cold" via New Scientist

TL;DR - molecules have been found to transition white fat into an intermediary type of brown fat called "beige" fat. If we can get this right for humans we could find the key to losing weight without the hassle of working out etc.

Firsty, lets get the technicalities out of the way. In case you don't know there are two types of adipose tissue (fat) in the mammalian body - white fat cells and brown fat cells...

Housework " Not Strenuous Enough" for Exercise Targets via BBC news

TL;DR: housework doesn't count as exercise because it doesn't raise your heart rate consistently enough.

TL;DR - the amount of light getting in to our rooms when we're sleeping is affecting our 
lives.

The study from this article suggests that the amount of light that we're getting in our rooms (from streetlamps/phones/clocks/cars) is having enough of an effect on our bodies that it is causing obesity.

"Weight Loss Aided by Eating Prunes" via Medical News Today

Prunes. Do we have any prunes fans here? I remember when I was a young girl my grandad would make me drink prune juice. Apparently it kept me "regular". I always thought that was a funny way to put it, but it works
