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!

Heatwave health warning as Britons told to stay indoors via The Telegraph

Ah, I love Britain. I guess it's weather is largely like it's population, scatty and at one extreme or the other :P

So, it's hot here. It's REALLY hot here. At the moment the temperature where I'm sitting is registering at 23degrees C. In the shade.

Wearing all black today probably wasn't going to be the best choice of the day, especially given that...

...the temperature is due to rise another 5 degrees or so. With the possibility of them rising as much as another 9 degrees. We are going to bake.

It always amuses me that we can go from joking about having webbed feet on account of all the water we get here, to roasting in temperatures fit for much more exotic holiday destinations. Take last March where we went from 28 degrees C to snow. Exceptional.

I'm currently melting!

So anyway, what does this article advise us?

Don't sit in the sun (duh)
Move to somewhere cooler if you're hot.... (really?!)
Close your curtains (woah, groundbreaking advice)
Drink water (you should be doing that anyway. It sort of helps with the whole staying alive thing....but DO drink more whilst it's hot. Dehydration sucks)
Don't go beastmode outside. Not a concern for me. I can barely move without sweating here.
Turn off any electrical items you're not using. Obvious so long as you link the fact they generate heat :)

At school here we've been asked to monitor children's fluid intakes and to keep an eye on any children who are fasting for Ramadan. Fairly sound advice.

So, enjoy the heat whilst it's here peeps, be sensible with it I know
sunbathing is "addictive" but you'll have to be reasonable :p  The sun can fry your head and heatstroke really does suck. Wear a hat, drink plenty of water and don't stay in the sun too long during the day. I think we could all have managed that - even if we're usually drowning ;)
