Hearing Baby We're Going Down -- Fall Out Boy
Bad news for Brits:
People in medieval times were healthier than modern Britons because they did not suffer from cholesterol related diseases, it has been claimed.
While those living in the Roman and Tudor periods faced hazards such as the "pox and plague", it seems that their daily diet lacked foods which could lead to heart disease.
Excessive levels of cholesterol were non-existent in Roman and medieval times. It is a current phenomenon and a direct result of modern excess and a lack of exercise.
And before any of us on this side of the drink get too smug, I would guess that the folks living here in the Americas (we currently called them "Native Americans," implying they were actually here first) were probably a great deal healthier than their counterparts today, for much the same reasons. Certainly I believe the average member of the Twelve Tribes from back in the day could kick my rear up and down the road. Especially at the moment, because I ate a whole bunch of Christmas cookies earlier, and now I'm kind of logy.
Maybe I'll play some video games later tonight. Pointing and clicking is exercise, of a sort.
