This is the first edition of my weekly 4 Most Valuable pieces of content I can find to help you live longer better.

I read a lot of articles each week. A lot are just factory-produced content for Google. A lot are search engine headlines with little substance. A lot do not gel with my 20 years of experience exercising and my Professional Diploma in Sports Nutrition.

But some have very useful hints and "how tos". I pick four of these a week to share with you. I also add my insights, generally to explain the "why" so that you have more motivation to try.
These four articles stood out to me this week:
  1. Martial arts and seniors
  2. The best herbs and spices for your health
  3. How to get control of your diabetes
  4. A basic stretch which quickly helps almost everyone.​

It's not "why me" that matters when you have cancer - although I've heard this often.

I've had two different aggressive cancers. How you react is very individual but "why me" won’t help you or the people around you.

Recently on "24 Hours In Emergency" (UK Channel 4) a middle-aged woman was admitted with abnormally low blood pressure. The doctors fixed that quickly with drugs and then sent her for a scan.

The scan picked up a cancer. Unfortunately, it was malignant.

​In the outro interview, she lamented "why me". There was a pregnant silence as the outro faded on her numb expression.

If you can stand then you can exercise - what to do next when you have sprains, strains and injuries (and you are 50+)

It's a downward spiral if we stop exercising because of pain or injury. Of course, sometimes it's "doctor's orders" and then you need to obey. And if you don’t have good body awareness then you can cause compensation stress in other parts of your body.

That said, in my experience, most people give up too easily.

If you can stand without troubling pain then you can do something. If you've not been exercising then you can start, with something gentle. If you've been exercising then you have a chance to keep up and not lose all of your hard-won gains while you recover from your injury.

Think about people with chronic pain. Some have a fear of exercise and avoid movement. They often get worse. Others manage their fears and regain their confidence by starting and sticking with an exercise plan. They get better - first mentally and then physically.
