Health Triangle Magazine - February 2024

In this issue

“Events, dear boy, events!”
These words famously phrased the dire warning given to Harold Macmillian when he was UK Prime Minister in the mid 20th Century.
Today, towards the end of the first quarter of the 21st Century, we now face more major elections worldwide than ever before, as well as more potentially threatening ‘events’ than ever before.
Whatever else, it will not be dull!

This bumper issue of Health Triangle Magazine remains totally apolitical. We are concerned exclusively with your health and personal well-being - from cradle to grave! NHS focuses on daily dental health from Milk Teeth onwards.
J J Stenhouse provides her personal tribute to her recently departed friend and outstanding co-presenter Dr Mark Goulston.
Poetry Corner features a poem by Longfellow entitled ‘The Tide rises, the Tide falls’ suggesting an unchanging constancy. Yet the water is less cold now than it was when the poem was written - but still cold enough to consider the benefits of an Ice Swim.

Change is not always for the better!
And the air is more polluted than when the poem was written - yet contributors contend that a thoughtful diet can reduce its impact, as can proprietary gels.
The importance of both Sleep and Silence are also fully recognised. The power of the heart and mind are totally acknowledged.
There is a lot to read, a lot to consider.
The tide rises, the tide falls.
