Lack of exercise and a poor diet the 2 main causes of an increase of 25% in cancer diagnosis amongst the under 50s since the 90s.
A shocking finding. However, something that is avoidable with some simple lifestyle changes!

More young adults are getting cancer than ever before with cases rising twice as fast among under 50s than in the elderly.

New analysis from Cancer Research suggests the surge could be linked to harmful gut bacteria and chronic inflammation caused by a shift in diet.

Superb evening last night as our partnership with @LangsideSC continued. The group had perfect weather for their first game of 11-a-side football. Great game ending in a 2-2 draw and a really good performance.

We all have the cure in our own hands.

Just spent a shift in A&E dealing with the consequences of poor diet and obesity

Hungry so went off to get some food

And this was what was for sale.......

As a society we need to stop health problems not just treat them....

@IndyIsNormal @pieandbov Gilmour needs to be in a Scotland team to at least give us a chance of looking like a decent team.
Why he wasn’t a starter last nyt I don’t know.

2 days to go! If you can help us get to our fundraising target with a last big push, we would be sooooo grateful!

They’ve posted an update on how they're feeling now that the event is so close. In short, Joe's feeling fine, David is feeling...less fine.

Its so important we keep carers in our thoughts. The work they do is forgotten at times, however the contribution they make has such a positive impact on so many lives!

The ending of the Bute House agreement is a huge opportunity for the SNP to reset our agenda in government. Out with identity politics & virtue signalling. In with policies to tackle the bread & butter issues that our constituents bring up on the doorsteps.

[Scottish Government Finance and Economy @scotgoveconomy]

Thousands more taxpayers moved to Scotland than left each year in the period after Scottish Income Tax was brought in, an HMRC study has found.

Average net migration from within the UK was 4,200 every year from 2017-18 to 2021-22.

If so…

Congratulations

Hall of Fame boxer Sugar Ray Robinson once backed out of a fight because he had a dream he was going to kill his opponent in the ring.

However, after being convinced by a priest, he agreed to fight. He knocked Jimmy Doyle out cold, who was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead the next day.

After Jimmy Doyle's death, Robinson found out about how Doyle wanted to use the money earned in the fight to buy his mother a home. So Robinson saved the money from his next four fights to buy Doyle's mom a house.
