The household furniture we once relied upon (or just plain ‘tolerated’), may no longer be suited to our more specialised senior needs.

No one’s saying it’s easy, but there are a few tricks which can help reduce your intake of salt and sugar.

In the third instalment of ‘I’m a Carboholic’, we discuss how plant fibre in our diet helps us to feel full for longer, and how refined food has the opposite effect.
