NEW !! Running on empty
Despite all the controversy surrounding the choice of the host for this year’s Olympic Games, one important benefit is unlikely to be lost. The games may be held the other side of the world, but young people (and some older ones) will be inspired to be more active as a result. This inspiration effect has been rightly identified as one of the most important spin-offs of the London Olympics in four year’s time. But there are a number of common misunderstandings that will get in the way of anyone hoping to be active regularly. The first is to do with body weight. The more work the body has to do, the more fuel it needs. Appetite is a natural mechanism for adjusting fuel intake (in the form of food) to match demand. So the more active you are the more you should eat.

Feel more alive!, Trail, April 2007
The British invented the notion that walking up mountains is fun! “Alpining"? became a craze among Victorians, much to the perplexed amusement of the local Swiss. Not surprisingly, the locals, none the less, rapidly found ways to extract a profit from these eccentric visitors. When asked why on earth he did it, one pioneering climber famously replied “The higher I climb the more alive I feel!"? That captures exactly how I feel about hills and mountains. It is nice to look at them, but the real thrill is getting up them.
Of course, I still have to find an excuse when people, who have never done it, ask “Why?" It is embarrassing to confess to the almost mystical experience of looking down from the heights of Skidaw across the lower hills to the sea beyond. I have many times got a better view from an aeroplane, but nothing compares with the reward of such a view when you have had to work to achieve it. So, rather than get all “touchy feely"? with comparative strangers, I will point out the practical advantages of hill climbing. Apart from the psychological benefits, there are two clear physical ones. The first is that it is outstandingly good for the waistline. The second is that it is seriously good for general health.

Is it what you eat or how much?, Health & Fitness, April 2007
Are you confused about the new food labels? Some show a set of multiple traffic lights that look like starting grid of a Formula One race. Others show nutritional information set against a set of Guideline Daily Amounts, with the numbers surrounded by delicate pastel shades. The two systems are based on different approaches. The traffic lights represent someone else’s opinion on what you should eat, but don’t explain how that decision was reached. GDAs, once you get the hang of them, allow you to choose which foods fit best to your individual needs and preferences. The traffic light labelling brouhaha has polarised opinions on how best to communicate nutrition information to the public. Amid all the claim and counter-claim it is easy to forget that the point of the whole exercise was to stop people getting fat. And that is important, since it determines what information needs to be given, and how.

Walking for health, Country Walking, April 2007
Have you heard the definition of an “expert"?? It is someone who knows more and more about less and less, until he knows everything there is to know about nothing at all! To anyone who has worked at the bench as a scientist, as I have, there is a painful ring of truth to this jibe! The only think that saves me from too much obsession with the minutiae of one particular problem is that I am too easily bored! I get distracted by the next problem long before I have exhausted all the possibilities for studying the first. Sir Isaac Newton described himself as a small boy on the sea shore attracted to a particularly pretty pebble, and ignoring the vast ocean in front of him waiting to be explored. He had a wider view of the world than most of us, but he accurately describes what seems to be a common character fault of scientific researchers.

Somehow our natural relationship with food and exercise has been reversed! Instead of eating to match our energy needs, we eat for other reasons and then try to match the energy intake by taking exercise. This change is at the heart of the current epidemic of obesity and is probably our parents’ fault! Throughout the animal kingdom, the driving force to eat is related to energy needs. Whatever the age of the animal or its individual requirements, it will match the calories it consumes to the calories it needs. One of the best examples of this is the human baby. Try diluting a baby’s milk with water and it will simply drink more, until it has taken in roughly the same amount of calories as it would have received from normal milk. This is why few babies are fooled by the trick of trying to feed them a bottle of water to keep them quiet when they wake in the night! A baby’s inherent ability to regulate its intake of calories to its needs is most impressive. And so what do we do? We try to confuse it. We insist that our babies learn to take milk when we decide they should. Later, when solid foods become needed, we insist that the timing of meals is set by us, not them. We also insist that we decide how much they should eat. Thus we train our children to eat when they are not hungry and not to expect to eat when they are. No wonder they get confused.

Keep a spring in your step!, Country Walking, March 2007
Even the most "fair weather walker" begins to get itchy feet when the buds begin to break out green tips, and the first spring flowers brighten the shadows of the woodland glades. The sun angles low through the mist, picking out the shapes of the trees, and the birds start to sing all at once, like an orchestra warming up. Squirrels play a mad cap game of tag through the branches, occasionally bending them dramatically with their tiny weight, or missing their footing and falling to the ground, only to dust themselves off and scramble, embarrassed, up the nearest tree. As a horse rider, I know it as the time of year when the first sweet spring grass begins to show and my horse will charge through a wall to get at it!

So you think you’re addicted to food? Think again!, Health & Fitness, March 2007
It’s Oh! So convenient to blame our behaviour on someone else! How often, when we sneak off work to place that bet on who will win Big Brother, or grab that extra half hour at lunch time, we say “It’s my little addiction – everyone has to have a vice, or life would be so boring"?. We claim that a bad habit is an “addiction"? and, of course, it is someone else’s fault that we became addicted. They put the temptation in our way. Everyone thinks they know all about addiction and we all bandy the word around all the time. So, it may come as a surprise to learn that psychologists struggle to define what addiction actually is. The key problem is to separate behaviour that can be blamed on a substance, such as alcohol or nicotine, and similar patterns of behaviour that clearly have a purely psychological origin, such as checking that the gas cooker is turned off twenty times before going to bed each night. We may blame the alcohol for our compulsion to drink but we cannot reasonably blame the gas cooker for out compulsion to check it so often.

Eat what’s right for you, Trail, February 2007
The problem with being sociable and being a nutritionist is that people are always trying to pick your brains! They don’t always have much success, perhaps, but sooner or later the same question always crops up. "So what is a healthy diet?" The trouble is that everyone has been led to believe that there is a single answer to this question. There isn’t. The healthy diet for one person isn’t necessarily the best thing for the person standing next to them at a party. Someone who is active will need to eat more than someone who is not, and more carbohydrate. Someone who is trying to lose weight will need to eat less, and less fat, than someone who isn’t. The devil is in the detail. How to achieve the right diet for each individual without making their lives intolerable?

The evolution of walking, Country Walking, February 2007
When Charles Darwin was thinking about his revolutionary theory of evolution he used to like to walk. He had paths laid around his substantial Cambridgeshire garden and used to walk laps, marking them off on a post as he passed. It seemed to help him to think. He certainly realised that it was good for his health. It is not clear whether his attraction to walking was a result of his insights into human evolution but it might have been. The early days of homo sapiens were certainly spent covering long distances, either at walking or jogging pace, chasing animals. As hunter- gatherers they would have relied heavily on meat as a calorie rich source of food, and animals have to be tracked over considerable distances. Indeed, it is believed that the adoption of an upright gait developed to make such hunting more efficient, by making running quicker and seeing the prey easier. Thus we evolved to be active, not at all like the modern couch potato lifestyle.

Common nutrition myths busted, Health & Fitness, February 2007
Sometimes a simple mistake in scientific research has far-reaching consequences. Some mistakes have changed the world. One of the factors that drove the collapse of the Soviet Empire was the catastrophic economic consequences of a theory put forward by an agricultural researcher called Lysenko that it was possible to get a better crop of wheat every year, simply by freezing the seeds one winter. It didn’t work, and the USSR went from being a large exporter of wheat to being an importer. Science is not always as infallible as we like to believe. But it is all we have, and the importance of admitting our mistakes has never been greater than in this age of instant, round the world (and round the clock) communication. Unfortunately, science is conducted, not by machines, but by people. And people are not inclined to admit to their mistakes, especially when they have built a reputation and an empire on a particular idea.

Stick to your Resolutions, Trail, January 2007
Every year millions of New Year Resolutions are broken within a few weeks! Gyms make a fair proportion of their income from new members who have dropped out of sight by the end of January. But this need not be the sad story for everyone. The trick is to choose a form of exercise that you enjoy and can fit into your daily schedule. Research shows that walking is just the ticket. People find walking much easier to adopt as a regular habit than most other bits of advice they get from health professionals.

Walking into a New Year, Country Walking, January 2007
This is the time of year when decisions are made. It is natural to take stock after the excitement and excesses of the party season. We look at ourselves in the mirror and regret the change in our waistlines, and wrongly blame the calorie binge of Christmas for the effects of months, or years of steady, if undramatic, over-consumption. Most people put on weight gradually, at the rate of about half a kilo a year throughout their adult lives. We just notice it more on January the first!

How to beat the New Year’s Resolution Graveyard, Health & Fitness, January 2007
As night follows day, Christmas excesses lead to promises to do better. Yet by the end of January most of these good intentions have bitten the dust. Like elephants, good intentions have a special place to die. It’s called February! Gyms make a sizeable proportion of their profit from members who sign up on the first day back at work in January and are then never seen from February to December. Sales of low calorie foods, slimming plans and home exercise equipment peak in January. So where do we all go wrong? There are a number of misconceptions about slimming and health that play into the hands of failure. The first is that slimming is quick and easy. It can be quick or it can be easy but rarely both. You can slim quickly if you starve yourself but it will make you feel pretty rough and may effect your mood, skills and judgement. Is it worth shedding the inches quickly if it means wobbling off your bike in traffic or running a red light in the car on the way to work?

Myth, Magic and Mayhem
You know what it’s like. You’re at a party and you get caught in a conversation that you don’t want to have. It happens to me all the time. It always starts the same way. "So what do you do?" usually asked hopefully by a woman of a certain age with a tinsy bit of a weight problem. Then it goes down hill rapidly "Well, er… I‘m a professional nutritionist, qualified and everything …. you don’t want to talk about me…"? But she does, or at least she wants to talk about food and her tinsy problem with her weight. "You don’t think I’m overweight do you"? well what do you say. She is clearly a least three stone overweight. Professional ethics requires that you don’t mislead her, while common politeness rules otherwise. "Perhaps a little"?, I stammer, desperately wishing I had said I was an Undertaker or Solicitor, that would have avoided the inevitable re-hash of the nonsense in the media that was sure to follow. So, out came all the usual excuses and misunderstandings.

To GI or not to GI that is the question
Right! Another magic diet eh! All you have to do is eat slow carbohydrates. No, it doesn’t make you slow, it is supposed to make you full - without eating too much. It slightly more complicated than Granma’s advice to eat lots of potatoes and bread (or Yorkshire pudding if you like that sort of thing). It’s not quite the same as the "F Plan Diet" either, but the idea is much the same. Somehow the body’s delicate sense of when it is being cheated of calories is supposed to be turned off, just by eating bagels instead of bread. Hard to believe? Then you can’t have been reading the hype on GI. A lot of serious attention is being given to GI (Glycaemic Index) at the moment. Half the academic world is busily researching whether it matters for slimming (or for health) while the other half is trying to find a way of measuring it reliably and discussing how it should be used. Pity they didn’t complete this work to confirm the theory before selling it so hard to the public!

What to eat on a walking holiday
I have to confess I am a bit of a wimp when it comes to the great outdoors! I don’t mind getting sweaty and tired hammering up the mountain side. I can even put up with getting wet and muddy and midge bitten. But one thing I insist on is that I stay in a hotel at night! At the end of a long day there is nothing so therapeutic as a hot bath and someone else doing the cooking.

Brain Food
They say fish is good for the brain, and so it is (especially for young children). But what the brain actually needs most is carbohydrate. The brain works on glucose, supplied by the bloodstream. And this glucose comes from carbs (starches and sugars) in the diet. Without glucose the brain packs up. Without carbs the body can’t supply the brain with glucose properly.

Brain versus Brawn
"Why the blazes did I do that?" I asked the sky (at least that was the gist of what I said). And yes, the sky was what I was contemplating as I bounced on my back-pack like a stranded turtle on a narrow ledge that had a splendid view of a ten metre drop to broken rock. I had been descending alone from Great Gable in Borrowdale when I missed the correct path and attempted to scramble down an escarpment on the North side. With good reason, the path doesn’t go down that way, as it gets steeper and steeper and the gentle grassy slope turns to a wet mixture of loose peaty grass and rock. My stupid attempt to shimmy down a grassy slope onto an inviting ledge had nearly ended in broken bones, or worse, simply because my normal aversion to taking unnecessary risks had been left somewhere further up the mountain.

Chances are you know someone with type 2 diabetes, or you may even suffer from it yourself. Fuelled by a rising bodyweights and physical inactivity amongst the British population, rates of diabetes are set to rise by more than quarter over the next ten years. Sobering statistics indeed, but there is still plenty you can do to reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes or relieve some of the symptoms associated with it if you are a sufferer.

We all know that eating a healthy, varied and balanced diet is essential for health but many of us forget about the important role that fluid plays too! Our bodies are made up of more than 50% water, so it’s essential that we top up our fluid levels regularly. Not only to keep us fully hydrated and to keep all of our body’s cells in good working order, but also to help regulate body temperature. Even slight dehydration can mean that the body’s natural thermostat goes awry: we start feeling the heat and that we don’t perform to the best of our ability – both physically and mentally!

Top tips for weight loss
How many times have you tried to lose weight for summer without getting the results you want? Or you’ve lost a little weight, but put all on again within a month or so? Well, this summer can be different? No need to starve or go on a soup or detox diet to drop those unwanted pounds! Simply follow a healthy balanced diet, make sensible food choices and be physically active! It’s all you need to help you lose that unwanted weight and keep it off – permanently. No need to make drastic lifestyle changes that you can’t keep up, or avoid your favourite foods and eat those you don’t like. Healthy eating doesn’t forbid any foods – not even chocolate or crisps – you’re just encouraged to eat less of certain foods. Even better, a healthy new lifestyle not only helps you lose weight and look better, its fun, improves your health and makes your feel great too.

Ditch the detox diet!
Headaches, irritability, tiredness, mood swings, hunger and bad breath - why would anyone want to go through a detox diet? Despite all this, however, many of us will give detox diets a go in a vain attempt to shift some last minute weight to look good for an imminent beach holiday! But for years, nutritionists and dietitians have been warning against the perils of detox diets and saying that they don’t work. And now research scientists have confirmed that there’s no scientific basis for detox diets what-so-ever. So there you have it – don’t detox. And if you want further reason not to, detox diets are likely to do more harm then good; some can even be dangerous. Is it really worth feeling lousy and risking vitamin and mineral deficiencies, dizziness and lethargy to lose two or three pounds of body weight? What’s more, most of the weight you’d be losing isn’t body fat, which you really want to lose, but muscle! And you don’t want to be losing muscle mass as it’s this which determines our metabolic rate.

Chances are you made a new year’s resolution in January to lose at least a few pounds after all that festive overindulgence. Well you certainly won’t have been alone in wanting to look leaner fitter and sexier – almost half of British women made a new year’s resolution to either lose weight, eat healthily or get active over the forthcoming year – some even pledged to do all three. We’re now a couple of months into 2006, so you won’t be surprised to hear that a third of us will have already given up on our good intentions and let our resolutions fall by the wayside. If you are still going, fantastic, but if you gave up long ago it’s not too late to start again! And if you want to get in shape for summer, why not start now. Give it a serious thought - leading a healthier lifestyle is well worth the effort.
