timing of meals. Thoughts? Anybody eat before bed? Only in the morning? Only in the afternoon? Some people swear by not eating after 6pm and preach to everyone that this is one of the best things anyone can do to optimise health as you will spend a longer time fasting and sleep better. Any opinions on this? I suggest they will vary!

Colorado has the nation's lowest death rate from heart disease and has lower rates of lung and colon cancer.
1. Recent studies have indicated that there are definite health benefits to living at altitude.
2. Start with obesity. "We've known since the 1920s (that) if you go to really high altitudes you will lose weight," says Robert Roach, director of the Altitude Research Center in Aurora, Colo., which studies how hypoxia, a lack of oxygen, affects health and performance.
3. Because obesity can lead to a host of other problems — diabetes, heart and lung issues — keeping the weight off can only help.
4. Researchers note that Colorado has the nation's lowest death rate from heart disease and has lower rates of lung and colon cancer.
5. The findings echoed a study published in the journal in 2004. Researchers studied villages in Greece and found total and coronary mortality were lower for residents of a mountainous village in comparison with residents of two lowland villages.
6. "If you look at people who live at high altitude around the world, incidents of most types of heart disease and stroke are much less," Roach says.
7. Altitude is not a panacea, of course. The risk of skin cancer is higher because ultraviolet intensity is greater at higher elevations.
8. 7 of 10: Of the top 10 counties in the U.S. for longevity were high-altitude counties in Colorado, with an average life span of 81.3 years, according to a study.

"Tired Blood"
by Jessica Kourkounis for The New York Times
It is not really the blood of people with anemia that is “tired.” Rather, it is anemic people themselves who commonly experience chronic fatigue.
Other symptoms may include
1. weakness,
2. shortness of breath,
3. impaired athletic performance,
4. rapid heartbeat,
5. irritability,
6. apathy,
7. dizziness,
8. pale skin,
9. headache
10. numb or cold hands and feet.
But in many people the symptoms are too mild to be recognized, and the anemia goes undetected for years.
