Hello, I have read in this email that if one is over 50 or obese they would have to stay at home in the autumn if a second wave of Covid 19 came to England or my area.. I am over 50 but not obese. Quite the opposite in fact. Does this mean I would have to stay at home for three months during...

Definitely steer clear of oily fatty foods for the first few days of recovery from symptoms. My favourite food is dry toast and hot water as I have always been advised to drink plenty of fluids due to feeling dehydrated after sickness.

I also agree with you, Azure. Though it isn't easy not to feel guilty about not having the energy to help around the house. a few months ago, I had this bad cough and cold for a week and couldn't do any shopping or cooking for one or two days, and had to send my nephew out shopping for me. He...

It can be hard to keep eating strictly and to keep off the sugary stuff, but you seem to be doing well by eating all the right stuff. I simply can't resist cakes, biscuits or any sweets offered to me, though I share one cake with my friend whenever we go shopping and eat at cafes. The rear of...

Hi I would like to know how to make Museli Bars suitable for someone who has to keep to a low sugar diet. Any recipes for making those? Please, I would be very grateful., Thank you RJW_Lon_29

I am totally the opposite. I was diagnosed with Borderline Diabetes and advised to go on a sugar free diet, which I have done for over 7 months now. Anyway, I am quite thin for a pre diabetes sufferer, and have lost quite a bit of weight, even though I eat quite normally, though I do a physical...
