home blood pressure monitors. Latest news ...research
published in the British Medical Journal has revealed that people

Action on Salt and Health aims to combat the
problems of salt and recently I optimised their web site for added
value to both visitors and search results.
The main source of salt in the UK diet is
salt added in food processing and manufacture. This accounts for around
80% of our salt intake and is hidden in foods, e.g. bread, some cereals,
meat products and ready prepared meals. The amount of salt - sodium
chloride - that we eat has a direct effect on our health and blood
pressure. The more salt we eat the higher our blood pressure. This
is true, not only in people with
high blood pressure. but also in people with normal blood pressure. |
Too much salt is bad for your heart. |
|  Cardiac
Risk in the Young My work with Cardiac
Risk in the Young involves helping to raise awareness of Sudden Adult Death Syndromes - SADS who are young and at Cardiac Risk
primarily by developing their Web site and optimising it consistently
getting top 10 listings for key phrases in search engine results. The SADS
Web site was launched to compliment the work of CRY and is an
additional resource for families who have suffered a loss or are concerned
about symptoms which may indicate one of the several causes of sudden
cardiac death through undiagnosed heart problems.

Back in September I was making the most of the opportunity presented
by the Countryside Alliance protest - I headed out to the sticks for
a spot of poaching and came across an entire hedgerow dripping with
sloes. This year the sloes from Hope
Cove holiday cottage in South Devon
have been early and we've been in full production of both sloe
gin and vodka

Dave and Jan headed off to Lustleigh
in Dartmoor National Park, Devon. A tremendous change from the past
few years in London and we hope to be able to put our diverse skills
to good use and earn a crust in between gardening, basking in the sun,
surfing. eating
cream teas and munching
pasties with the Pasty Muncher - not necessarily in order.
Latest news - the south west now has antique
chinese furniture available at Honiton and Lustleigh and coming soon will be a fantastic fabric warehouse outlet that will offer curtains, blinds and bedding for your home. |
