Just finished watching a disturbing program about certain diets, and their claims. In a day and age where we are constantly being told what to eat, what is bad for us, how certain foods can help us, it can be very difficult to ascertain what is the real truth.
Some people make wild claims - the program just on television claimed that an alkaline diet will help cure cancer - despite there being no scientific base for it.
On our program we will cover nutrition. But we will provide information, look at myths, review actual research, but also emphasise that being healthy is just controlling the input and portion size of your meals. "Diet" is a dirty word. It's all about actually cooking your own food, understanding about proteins, carbs, fats, and sugars. Still enjoying treats, but also mixing it with adequate exercise. In all honesty, it should be pretty easy for people, but it is ensuring that they can make better choices with informed knowledge.
Our ninth walk went very well, and I am hoping to start in Highbury Fields and Finsbury Park in March. I am talking to a prospective partner for the FP walk, and want to tie down my HF partner next week. All great fun though. We received a magnificent write up by Islington Life.

If you copy and paste that link into your browser you will get the full story. I am so pleased with it - it's a terrific advert for us and what we are trying to achieve. I am really hoping that it will bring more people out onto the walk - and the subsequent ones.
We are also eager to try and find some sponsorship for the walks - as we need to provide t-shirts to volunteers, marketing materials, plus there is the website (domains, logo, upkeep). It would not take a lot of money, but anything would be amazing.
Moving forward with the program - we are still in preparations, and a longer blog entry on this will appear at the weekend. Thanks people - please follow our blog:
Dont forget we have our YouTube channel - please subscribe - still newish but a lot more videos will be uploaded in the next couple of months - that is hmhb2016
