BRITONS HEALTHIER IN MEDIEVAL TIMES

« Four in five new jobs… | Home | UK is 5th Worst Place… »

19 12 07 - 12:32 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.

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

From William Shakespeare's "Macbeth"
