Not another story about your health?

Reading about health causes health risks 

There is yet another story in the news about your health and your wondering what the hype is this time?

This time its 'Reading articles about health and disease can make you feel ill'.

Great not only that the news tell us that they are informing the public of the health risks of certain things, but it is bad for us to read about them. It seems that what ever we do, eat or drink, we are killing ourselves. Such as 'Red meat increases death, cancer and hart risk', or 'sit-ups can be bad for your body'


What they don't tell you is that these thing either happen to a minority of people or if you have high or low levels of certain chemicals is bad for you. I have nothing wrong with people telling us what is unhealthy but they have to give us more information than tell us that its bad for you.

There has even been a case where a child got rickets and Vitamin D deficiency due to over use of sun block. It wasn't anything in the sun block that coursed it. It was just that the child was not able to get enough Vitamin D from the sun because the sun block was stopping the child's body from producing it.

According to the news we might as well sit at home and do nothing, eat nothing and not enjoy ourselves...No wait we cant even do that either because that will be bad for our health as well apparently.

Nilofer Merchant from Stanford, US tells us that 'Sitting is the new smoking'. So cannot even do that. Great!
