I don’t enjoy a lukewarm drink, if I have hot coffee I prefer it hot.

New research looking at more than 450,000 people found that regularly drinking hot or very hot beverages was associated with a higher risk of one type of oesophageal cancer.

So perhaps I need to rethink just how hot “hot” needs to be.

Are you a hot or cool beverage drinker?

Love this… the ingenuity of the tennis ball and T-shirts!

The oxygen monitor sounds useful too, particularly as you say you had none of the symptoms people typically associate with sleep apnea and might never have known otherwise.

Symptoms keep showing up in different parts of the body, and nobody connects them. The pulmonologist treats the wheeze. The ENT treats the sinuses. The allergist runs a panel, finds nothing, and says it can’t be an allergy.

One of her patients only experienced sleep apnea while sleeping on his back. Before moving straight to a CPAP machine, she suggested trying a sleep backpack, a small inflatable pillow worn on the back that helps stop…
