New Hope For Slimmers in Mojacar!
Are your scales saying OMG? If you’ve tried virtually everything without success, then call Bev Nash or Fiona Griffiths and see how they can help.
Fiona and Bev were both experienced weight loss consultants in the UK. They’re fully accredited under Spanish regulations – Bev qualified in 2019 and Fiona in 2020, but coronavirus restrictions put all their plans on hold. Now, however, they’re raring to go.
“Lockdown was crazy for everyone” says Bev. “Even people who never had weight problems piled on the pounds through boredom and lack of activity.” Fiona agrees “It’s so easy to slip into bad habits when there’s nothing else to do – then hard to get out of them, plus weight gain on top!”
Well, it’s been a year since last Sunday.
But I come to you my friends with the one constant in this chaotic world of ours: Books.
And one thing that always brightens my world and fills my heart: getting your lists. My inbox runneth over.
Each year, I challenge SouthCoast BookLovers to read 100 books in a year to make my BookLovers Century Club. Reading 25-49 books would qualify you for the Quarter-Century Club, and 50-99 books, the Half-Century Club. (Yes, audiobooks count.)
We’ve broken our own record for 8 years now, and I’m thrilled to announce that once again, we have a record year. You are all the best part of 2020.
How your genes can make Covid more deadly
Harry de Quetteville meets the team unravelling the mysteries of virus’s differing severity
Cracking the code: Dr Kenneth Baillie is leading a study into the genetic risk factors for Covid-19
This summer, a small group of researchers at the Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh, began to notice something unusual. They were looking at the DNA of thousands of people who had contracted Covid-19 and suffered severely – people who were touch-and-go in intensive care units, some who survived and some who didn’t.
The researchers were comparing these genetic profiles to those of people with similar backgrounds held in the UK BioBank, which holds information on half a million volunteers. The aim was to see if anything stood out in those who had been brought to the brink by Covid.
