Only partially true. Loads of it is simply genetics.

My mate eats total crap.....many packs of crisps a day, virtually no fruit or veg. Loads of pizzas, chinese etc. His cholesterol is at the low end of normal.

On the other hand my eating habits whilst not perfect are far better than his yet my cholesterol is through the roof.

What will probably happen in the future is kids will get their genes screened and then risk profiles given them so they can take precautions against things they are at risk from and ignore those they are not at risk from.

It's horrible to see someone you love in pain
Poor thing.

No spend day for me today. Am hanging on til Friday when I will top up my milk at whoopsie time. Need to stay within budget as I hate failing at things.

Now, what can I make that will stay fresh for a few days that my dad can eat? Poor guy was warming up some tinned rice pudding when i left at 10.30. When i asked he confessed it was the first thing he had eaten !!!!
Hmmmm... *scratches head whilst considering meal options*

So sorry to hear about your mum.

Someones has just posted about finish powerball tablets in asda. £2 a box, with a £3 voucher inside. Buy 2 boxes for £4, get £6 in vouchers to buy 3 boxes with to get £9 in vouchers to get 3 more boxes to get £12 in vouchers (£3 held over) to buy 6 boxes with to get £18 in vouchers to buy 9 boxes with etc.etc...

you could do this with a £2 spend originally, then add a pound to your £3 voucher and then start voucher spending....

Well of course in an ideal world we'd all be sober non-smokers who maintain a strict diet and have the physique of athletes but I think myself and most others are of the opinion that a treat-free life, whether it means that I live to 150, would not be enjoyable in the slightest.

It all comes down to moderation in every sense of the word. I am petite...under 5ft and am a size 6, I even have skinny jeans (albeit VERY skinny!:rotfl:) that are age 10. But I don't smoke or drink, I exercise when I can though this isn't intense/strenuous (arthrtic type joints) and food is my only vice. So I am of the same thinking as Karlie....I try and eat my 5 a day and I monitor how many calories I have religiously but I don't restrict my diet at all. I eat what I want and if my jeans become too tight...I'll cut back a bit

It might be ignorant but there are a world of different things that could kill us, regardless of how healthy (and possibly miserable as a result) we are. Having gone through what I have I'm all about living for the moment and enjoying life because you never know what's around the corner :AYes you have to be sensible but if my cholesterol and blood pressure stay low and I'm not gaining weight, I'm happy :A
