Fall is upon us and colder months can prove a nutritional challenge for many of us. If you are looking for comfort and nutrition on a chilly day, think casserole! It’s a great opportunity to use economical cuts of meat with slow cooking methods. Red meat is high in zinc and iron, two minerals which boost the immune system. Legumes are an excellent protein source, low fat, high fibre. A casserole with meat, vegetables and a can of beans is a great way to boost your ability to fight disease. #nutrition #food #stew #meat #fall #casserole #recipe

When veterans of the First World War returned home in need of rehabilitation, the popularity of physiotherapy skyrocketed. Physiotherapists of the modern day need to have an in-depth knowledge of the entire musculoskeletal system. That’s up to 840 muscles, between 206 & 270 bones, 220 nerves, and much more.
