Insurance and trans fats

One of the drawbacks of being a healthy type like myself is that you're always on the lookout for things to improve - diet, exercise regime, general health.

Lately I got to thinking about medical cover. If I ever need medical treatment (and touch wood hopefully I won't) then I don't want to be hanging around waiting at the end of a very long queue twiddling my thumbs and working myself into state about things. I want to be seen as soon as possible and get back on two wheels as fast as I can.

So it's time to start researching health insurance online - there's a discount (as there is with many things these days) for buying online. Basically what with all the cuts going on these days I don't want to take any chances with my health. Which leads me to this:

I'm also thinking about a major change to my diet - eradicating trans fats, as I believe that they're fairly nasty in terms of what they do, but so far I can't find much info on food labelling, so not a great start there. Any ideas??

In my next post I will mainly be discussing the bikes that we all had as kids in the UK back in the day. Made By Craftsmen in Nottingham (ie Raleigh), mainly - happy days.

Cycling is great, lets celebrate it

There is nothing I like more of a summer's day than to set off in the morning, with nothing more than a packed lunch, a map and, of course, my trusty bicycle.

Quite often I don't know where I'm going, or how long it will take, though more often I do have at least a hint of plan.

This is the way I choose to try to keep myself fit and healthy, I could have chosen jogging, but that looks way too difficult for me, I could play football, but some people just can't kick a ball straight.

So I just sally off down the cycle-path and enjoy life, I think you should too.
