		<title>Are doctors becoming obsolete?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve been working on something lately that&#8217;s going to contribute to the revolutionisation of the health industry. It&#8217;s pretty exciting, but I&#8217;ll update more about it here later. Let&#8217;s just say that it will change the way you think about your health and it will hopefully empower you to take control of your wellbeing and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vitamin D</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Today at work I was editing an article about vitamin D, and I picked up these pointers about this interesting nutrient.
Vitamin D helps the body to:
absorb calcium
aid bone and tooth formation
support muscle and nerve function
prevent osteoporosis
When you are exposed to the sun, your body converts a cholesterol compound in the skin to vitamin D. Therefore [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eat for your bone health</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Calcium and vitamin D are two essentials in maintaining healthy bones and fighting against osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become brittle and are more susceptible to fractures and breaks. When you have osteoporosis, even a slight bump can cause a fracture, and those who experience one fracture are 50% more likely to also have another one. Currently [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where has all our energy gone?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was in high school some 9 years ago now, energy drinks, like mobile phones, were just emerging in society. They certainly weren&#8217;t mainstream, and, in fact, I don&#8217;t even think I tried a Red Bull or V until I had finished high school and entered the realm of uni days and hospitality nights.
Nowadays [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pelourinho: the historic centre of Salvador</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Read the latest from Louisa in Salvador..
Pelourinho is the Historic Centre of Salvador and the original Portuguese colonialist architecture is still prominent. Cobblestone streets pave the way with street vendors and small shops spread sporadically throughout the town. You can walk between elaborately colourful buildings and admire the magnificence of the most elaborate churches in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Soup on the brain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Soup has to be one of the easiest, healthiest dishes to cook. Take vegetable soup. Chop all the vegies, chuck them in a pot of boiling water, season and voila. If that alone isn&#8217;t exciting enough, you could get creative and add some tomato paste or spice to liven things up. But on the whole, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Latest: pub2pub on Sunday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so here I am back into the training after 2 weeks&#8217; break in New Zealand for snowboarding and wine-drinking. I only managed one run during that time, but since I returned last Friday I have gone for 2 - another long one on Saturday for about 1 hour 20 mins, and a shorter one [...]]]></description>

		<title>New super vegetables!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I was interested to read that scientists have created a super-broccoli which contains up to 40% more anti-oxidants than regular broccoli. 
&#8216;Great!&#8217; I initially thought. Then I considered this, and found myself asking the obvious question: why is that great?
So far $20 million has been invested into developing the super-veg project, which is also looking at [...]]]></description>

		<title>C25km - your motivational tool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Running can seem like the most uninspiring activity at the best of times. Motivation is the key to starting out, but when it’s cold and dark outside, or if you’ve just spent a long day slogging it out at the office, putting on your trainers and shorts and dragging yourself around the block in front [...]]]></description>
