We make hundreds of decisions that affect our health every day – from what we eat and how we move our bodies, to the questions we ask our doctor when our kids are sick, or how we support our ageing parents with dementia or cancer.
Sometimes we make decisions out of habit, or based on what feels right. At other times, it’s after hearing about a friend’s experience, or doing some research online.
But there’s so much contradictory advice in the news, online and particularly on social media. One day a study says coffee is bad for our health, the next week, another says it can help us live longer. So it’s hard to work out whether you should actually cut back, drink more, or worry about something else.
