  • A Taste of Galicia - Octopus a Feira
    Quite often when you research information into the various cultures and cuisines that make up countries it is quite possible to find a common theme common name for the food of that country. Such as French food, Italian food etc but with the regards to Spanish food or more accurately described as recipes that originate from the country of Spain it could be argued that it is not quite that simple.

    The reason for this is that you could quite easily argue that technically there is no such thing as Spanish food and the reason being for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. The various autonomous regions that comprise Spain have been slowly pulled together through a variety of different processes some by force, some by choice but they all have one thing in common and that is they have kept their own individual features.
  • A whistle-stop Guide to the Way of St James
    The patron saint of Spain, St James, is one of the most revered figures in Spain. Probably the most revered male figure, coming in second behind Mary and if truth be known probably a good way ahead of Christ.

  • An Introduction to Treatment for High Blood Pressure
    At one point, Doctors hesitated to prescribe medication for patients with a blood pressure reading of less than 159/99 Hg. This was described as “mild hypertension” and as such not deemed at the time to be dangerous.

    The rationale behind this that Doctors felt that the adverse side effects of the medication used at the time would possibly be of more danger to the patient than the high blood pressure readings.
  • Are We Sitting On Yet Another Health Scare Time Bomb?
    OK listen up folks. Consuming Energy drinks could be bad for High Blood Pressure. This is potentially some interesting stuff in that a study has been published recently that in all essence is actually quite a small study and hence the findings could potentially be open to question but (and this is a big but) could actually grow and have the potential of something quite significant down the line if replicated.

    Phew, that is quite a major sentence (in more ways than one) to try and comprehend so let’s try and break it down into manageable proportions.

  • Galicia, A Geological and Historical Introduction

  • Grilled Pilgrim Scallops
    It is quite common when you take a look at the native cuisine from any one particular country to come up with a particular theme or common approach / name for the catering or cuisine from that country. Such as Chinese Food, Thai Food etc but to be honest it could be argued that with regards to Spain there is no such thing as “Spanish” food as with the make up and historical heritage of Spain it is not quite that simple.

    The reason for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features.

  • High Blood Pressure Diet and Vitamins
    2005, the year the worlds fascination with taking Multivitamins died? Sounds controversial I know and may be a slight exaggeration but actually it is not too far from the truth. 2005 and latterly 2006 have not been good years if you happened to be in the Multivitamin Business as not one but a whole series of reports emerged from one Scientific Research Establishment after another about the apparent uselessness of taking mass amounts of Multivitamins as forms of dietary supplements to aid and support a poor dietary regime.
