Ever notice how a hug seems to make things better? Touch is a powerful and necessary aspect of healing. http://ow.ly/TPR330mRLZ3 .
Women have less of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol so the same amount of alcohol will affect women more than men.
Since women are generally smaller than men, the same amount of alcohol will affect women more than men.
However, even if a man and woman who weigh the same drink the same amount, the alcohol will still affect the woman more. This is because:
Women generally have a lower percentage of natural body water than men, so they achieve higher concentrations of alcohol in the blood faster
Women have less ADH, the enzyme that breaks down alcohol, and so aren’t as effective at processing alcohol as men
This is why the recommended number of standard drinks in most countries is different for men and women.

40% of people said that men and women feel the effects of alcohol equally. FALSE! Women have less of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol so the same amount of alcohol will affect women more than men. #DrinkPositive #DRINKiQ

Oats are high in soluble fibre.
Oats are high in soluble fibre. Beta-Glucan,the water-soluble fibre prevalent in oats has been shown to reduce blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease.

A modest uptick in the amount of fruit and vegetables you eat can help ward off type 2 diabetes, according to a study published online July 8, 2020, by The BMJ. From a much larger study involving some 340,000 people from eight European countries, scientists selected 9,754 participants who were newly diagnosed with diabetes over a decade. Researchers compared the fruit and vegetable intakes of these people to those of about 13,000 participants who remained diabetes-free during the study period. Researchers also measured blood levels of seven key plant-derived nutrients, including vitamin C and brightly colored antioxidant pigments called carotenoids. People with the highest intakes of fruit and vegetables and the highest blood levels of the plant-derived nutrients were 25% to 50% less likely to get diabetes during the study period, compared with those who ate the least of these food groups or had the lowest nutrient levels. Even better, it didn’t take a whole lot of extra green, red, yellow, and orange on the plate to make a dent in diabetes risk. The equivalent of only two-thirds of a medium apple or just over one-third of a cup of mixed fruit each day offered protection.

The striking intro to Seamus Enright’s piece on another death by suicide in Cavan captures the sense of dismay and shock locally. SOSAD co-ordinator describes it as “an epidemic within a pandemic”. Cavan needs better mental health supports for young people. This is devastating
Sheila Reilly@sheilareilly123·Should add well done to @theanglocelt for covering this properly
