Protein from nuts are good for the heart – but meat is bad

Eating burgers, bacon sarnies and hot dogs can raise the risk of a heart attack or stroke by 60 per cent, according to new research.

Film Review: A Quiet Place

In A Quiet Place, actor turned director John Krasinski (The Office, Detroit) transports us into a hellish post-apocalyptic world in which silence has become humanity’s only chance of survival. Written by Krasinski, who also stars alongside Emily Blunt (who is married to Krasinski in real life), the film is a high concept “creature feature” which pits a family of four against deadly monsters that hunt by sound, and is perhaps one of the scariest and most engaging films of its...

Restaurant Review: Ikoyi

Consisting of 54 countries, Africa is the world’s second largest continent. Over the past few decades, African culture has made an immeasurable impression on world culture (art, music, fashion), but so many of us still continue to struggle when discussing the Land of the Sahara. Remember when Kanye West referred to Africa as a “country”, in a tweet to Mark Zuckerberg? Still, as we begin to delve further into deep exploration of regional Chinese and Indian cuisine in London, we have...
