Cyclists Support Prostate Charity Gibraltar cyclists recently donated £400 to the Prostate Cancer Support Group Gibraltar. The money was raised by individual donations made by cyclists based in Gibraltar. Receiving the cheque on behalf of the committee, Mr Ghio, Vice Chairman of the charity thanked cyclists who had donated the funds. He explained that the money will be used to continue raising awareness of the illness. The Prostate Cancer Support Group seeks to limit the impact of prostate cancer and other prostate diseases on all men, their partners and their families; prioritises the need for prostate problems to be detected and treated as early as possible; and represents the interests of all men diagnosed with prostate cancer and other prostate diseases.

Track Your Food Intake for Health Food Log Apps have really revolutionised the standard food log. Downloadable for smart phones or tablets, a Food Log App allows the user to track daily food intake on a device they are likely to carry with them and provides information such as calorie count, fat verses carbohydrates, vitamin and mineral content measured against Recommended Daily Amounts and user weight tracking in easy to view graphs and tables. Keeping a food log gives the user an opportunity to remain motivated to choose more wisely when selecting meals based on nutritional value. The App visually shows the calorie impact of, for example, just one indulgent dessert on a healthy diet. The app can identify where changes in diet are needed to cover nutritional necessity or how supplements can be used to improve overall health. Our favourite food log app is Nutrition Journal by Wombat Apps which is available from the iTunes store for £1.99, but there are plenty of others and many of them free. n
