Trans fats:
hether you are placed on a ventilator or not, spending any time in intensive care can be traumatic. Even the most mentally strong might find it difficult to grapple with the longer-term impact such an experience can result in, both emotionally and physically. Thankfully, for most of us, such contemplation would likely be a hypothetical one. However, for UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, such a scenario became a reality. As Covid-19 began its march around the world, landing on the shores of the UK at the end of 2019, it quickly began to lay roots with community transmission across the country. Just a few months later and Johnson was himself admitted to hospital. Thankfully his journey, while no doubt frightening, did not result in the fatal tragedy so many others faced.

By mid-summer, he was sharing videos of him running and stories of how his encounter with Covid-19 had offered him the opportunity to evaluate his lifestyle, including his diet. In the knowledge that less healthy people were more susceptible to serious complications from the disease, Johnson announced he wanted to help people bring their weight down, but “not in an excessively bossy or nannying way, I hope”.
Trans fats linked to coronary heart disease If Johnson’s story tells us anything, it is that while Covid-19 has brought much pain and suffering it can also be the foundation to change our thinking and our lifestyles. Health has never before been so collectively
