“Ten Tips for Better Health”...they’re probably not what you think.

Most of us are familiar with the usual “tips” to be healthy. Things like: eat healthy, exercise, get sleep, etc…

Here’s what a typical “Top Ten Tips” for good health list looks like:

(adapted from Raphael, 2009, Box 1.4)

Don’t smoke. If you can, stop. If you can’t, cut down.

Follow a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables.

Keep physically active.

Manage stress by, for example, talking things through and making time to relax.

If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation.

Cover up in the sun, and protect children from sunburn.

Practice safer sex.

Take up cancer screening opportunities.

Be safe on the roads: follow the Highway Code.

Learn the First Aid ABC’s: airways, breathing, circulation. (Donaldson cited in Raphael, 2009) 

But did you know that those things (“personal lifestyle choices”) only have a small influence on determining your current health status compared to “social determinants” (like your socioeconomic status, gender, early life circumstances, etc)?

Denmark is once again distinguishing itself in the race against food waste — this time, with a supermarket hawking items once destined for the trash bin.

Those items might include treats for a holiday that happened last week, a ripped box of cornflakes, plain white rice mislabeled as basmati, or anything nearing its expiration date. In other words, perfectly edible items that are nonetheless considered unfit for sale by the retailers and manufacturers who donate them.

WeFood is not the first grocer in Europe to sell surplus food. But unlike so-called “social supermarkets” – stores which serve almost exclusively low-income people — WeFood’s offerings are very intentionally aimed at the general public.

“If you call it a ‘social supermarket,’ it’s difficult to get customers to go there. Who wants to be poor?” explains Per Bjerre with DanChurchAid, the charity behind this initiative. “If you want to stop [the] waste of food, everybody has to be into it.”
