The Connection Between Red Flags and Your General Health

I’ve just emerged from major dental surgery. A cracked tooth that could not be saved, requiring extraction, implant and, in another 3 months time, a new crown.

Move Well – your guide to moving your way to wellness

Movement. It’s a tarted up word for exercise, but that’s partly due to the stigma that has become attached to exercising.
