‘Adventures 4 Health’ Aims To Inspire People To Be More Active
Tom Watson MP, Deputy Leader of the UK’s Labour Party, has revealed details of four adventures that he will attempt during 2019 as he continues to transform his life by being more active and encourage others to follow his lead. After decades of relative inactivity and poor diet, he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in late 2015. Although that wasn’t a huge shock to him at the time, it was the jolt that he needed to improve his lifestyle. As well as cutting out sugary foods, Watson took up exercise and over time, he has lost seven stone (98lbs; 44.5kgs) and reversed a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis.

How Childhood Heroes Inspired Adventure On The Everest Trail
It was 40 years ago that I finally hit the trail to Everest. And over 20 years before that that the seed for a trip to Nepal was planted. At eight years old, I won a prize for being the best-behaved boy in the class. The prize was a book – The first book of HEROES – that set me on the outdoor trail. Tales of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Captain Scott, Sir Henry Stanley, Sir Francis Drake and Marco Polo set my imagination racing through time. But it was Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay that set my pulse racing. I had to go to Nepal!
