Starmer Condemns 'Lies and Misinformation' Over Child Sexual Abuse
Oh the outrage.....lol Who was lying? The vote was never expected to be won. Tonight's vote was largely symbolic - aimed at putting pressure on Labour following days of headlines after comments by Elon Musk brought grooming gangs back into the spotlight. https://news.sky.com/story/mps-vote-against-new-national-inquiry-into-grooming-gangs-13285629 Meanwhile the pressure continues we even have a Labour peer calling for an enquiry and of course Jess Phillips saying she's open to one. Harman calls for 'mini inquiry' into grooming gangs Harriet Harman has suggested a "mini inquiry" into issues raised by the grooming gangs scandal and called on Sir Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch to discuss "terms of reference". The Labour peer told Sky's political editor Beth Rigby on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast podcast that there should "openness" to a future probe as long it does not repeat the previous investigations. https://news.sky.com/story/politics-latest-mps-voting-on-tories-call-for-grooming-gangs-inquiry-after-pm-said-it-would-delay-action-12593360 Jess Phillips does not rule out new national inquiry into grooming gangs A new victims panel is being set up by the government to hear about the abuse by grooming gangs. https://news.sky.com/story/jess-phillips-does-not-rule-out-new-national-inquiry-into-grooming-gangs-13285393 -

Nutrition for Healthy Aging: A Guide to Eating Well in Later Years
Good nutrition is essential at any age, but as we grow older, our dietary needs change. Eating the right foods can support physical health, mental sharpness, and overall well-being. Whether you’re looking to maintain energy levels, keep your bones strong, or simply feel your best, tailoring your diet to your changing needs is key. Why Nutrition Matters More as We Age Aging brings about natural changes in the body, including: Slower Metabolism: This means you may need fewer calories but more nutrient-dense foods. Bone Density Loss: Calcium and vitamin D become even more critical to prevent fractures. Digestive Changes: Reduced stomach acid can make it harder to absorb certain nutrients, such as vitamin B12. Muscle Mass Decline: Protein intake becomes vital to counteract muscle loss. Eating well can help combat these changes, improve quality of life, and even reduce the risk of chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Key Nutrients for Healthy Aging As you age, focus on foods rich in the following nutrients: 1. Calcium and Vitamin D for Strong Bones Bone density naturally decreases over time, increasing the risk of fractures. To support bone health: Include calcium-rich foods like dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified plant milks. Get enough vitamin D from sunlight, fortified foods, or supplements if necessary. 2. Protein for Muscle Maintenance Protein helps preserve muscle mass and supports repair and recovery. Good sources include: Lean meats, fish, eggs, and poultry. Plant-based options like beans, lentils, tofu, and nuts. Tip: Spread protein intake throughout the day for optimal absorption. 3. Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Heart and Brain Health These healthy fats reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular and cognitive function. Add: Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines. Chia seeds, flaxseeds, and walnuts. 4. Fiber for Digestive Health A high-fibre diet supports digestion and helps prevent constipation. Sources include: Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. (Consider an image of fresh fruits and vegetables arranged appealingly to promote fiber-rich foods.) 5. Antioxidants for Cell Protection Antioxidants combat oxidative stress, which can contribute to ageing and chronic disease. Incorporate: Colourful fruits and vegetables like berries, carrots, and spinach. Green tea and dark chocolate (in moderation). 6. Hydration for Overall Wellness Older adults may feel less thirsty but still need adequate fluids. Water, herbal teas, and hydrating foods like cucumbers and watermelon are excellent choices. Practical Tips for Healthy Eating Making small changes to your diet can have a big impact. Here’s how to get started: Plan Balanced Meals Aim for a variety of foods on your plate: Half vegetables and fruits. One-quarter lean protein. One-quarter whole grains. Limit Added Sugars and Salt Excess sugar and sodium can lead to health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure. Opt for natural sweetness from fruits and use herbs and spices for flavour. Choose Convenient, Healthy Options If cooking feels overwhelming, stock up on: Frozen vegetables and fruits. Pre-cooked grains like quinoa or brown rice. Canned beans (low-sodium options). Overcoming Common Challenges Many older adults face barriers to healthy eating, but solutions are available: Decreased Appetite Eat smaller, nutrient-packed meals more frequently. Add flavor with herbs, spices, or healthy fats. Difficulty Chewing Choose softer foods like yogurt, scrambled eggs, or soups. Cook vegetables until tender. Fixed Budget Buy in bulk and freeze extras. Shop for seasonal produce, which is often cheaper. The Social Aspect of Eating Well Sharing meals with friends or family not only enhances enjoyment but can also encourage healthier eating habits. If dining alone, consider joining community meal programs or trying virtual dinner dates. Success Stories: Real-Life Inspiration Take James, a 72-year-old who struggled with low energy until he revamped his diet with more protein and colorful vegetables. Today, he feels more active and even enjoys cooking new recipes. Take Charge of Your Health Today Healthy aging begins with the choices you make each day. By focusing on nutrient-rich foods and staying hydrated, you can improve your vitality, independence, and overall well-being. Start with small changes, like adding an extra vegetable to your plate or trying a new protein source, and see the difference it makes. Remember, eating well is not about restriction but about nourishing your body and mind for the journey ahead. -

Minister launches emergency plan as deadly dust chokes Thailand
Photo courtesy of NIDA By Puntid Tantivangphaisal Thailand Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsuthin issued an urgent response to soaring PM 2.5 air pollution levels, which have breached safety thresholds in 14 provinces, threatening public health. Chairing an emergency meeting yesterday, January 9, Somsak revealed a series of measures to combat the crisis, which has affected 53 provinces since October last year and is expected to persist until January 15. “Prolonged exposure to PM 2.5 can cause severe respiratory, cardiovascular, and cancer-related illnesses. Vulnerable groups, including children, the elderly, and those with chronic conditions, face the highest risks.” To protect affected communities, the ministry has established 4,700 dust-free rooms across 56 provinces, including public health facilities, schools, offices, and restaurants. Additionally, 1,338 anti-dust nets have been distributed to bedridden patients and homebound individuals. Face masks and dust nets will be provided to at-risk groups, including outdoor workers and volunteers. A multi-faceted approach has been rolled out: Health screenings: Teams are conducting proactive screenings for respiratory, cardiovascular, and skin conditions in high-risk areas. Awareness campaigns: Digital tools and media are being used to alert the public, particularly high-risk groups like children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Work-from-home policies: Vulnerable groups are urged to avoid outdoor activities and stay indoors during peak pollution hours. Medical support: Emergency health teams are being deployed to assist hard-hit communities. The Public Health Emergency Operations Centre has been upgraded to coordinate a swift response. Residents are urged to monitor PM 2.5 levels, wear protective masks, and seek medical help for symptoms like persistent coughing or chest pain, reported Pattaya Mail.
