Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner is swapping the showbiz
circus for a real-life circus while the hit show is between series.
The
brutally bitchy TV presenter is taking lessons at the National Centre
for Circus Arts in London, learning swinging on ropes, tumbling and
acrobatic moves.
The centre is a world-class training ground and the only place in Britain to offer a degree course in circus skills.
Dancing in the air: Jason Gardiner has joined the National Centre for Circus Arts, where he takes two to three classes a week, doing acrobatic tricks
Jason,
42, attends two to three times a week, burning 500 to 600 calories an
hour and developing his core and upper body strength as well as
hand-eye co-ordination.
At least spending time on the flying trapeze makes a change from flying into a rant at a celebrity ice dancer.
Sozzled on mouthwash
Bottoms up? More people are getting drunk on mouthwash, a doctor reports
A US dentist nicknamed the Bad Breath Guru says people are drinking mouthwash as a cheap source of alcohol.
Dr Harold Katz tried to launch an alcohol-free mouthwash but was told by some UK chemists it wasn’t worth stocking.
‘I was told a significant amount of sales in these places were to those abusing mouthwash,’ he said.
Some Listerine mouthwashes are 26.9 per cent alcohol.
Perfect sleep? Seven hours
LACK
of sleep – or too much of it – could raise the risk of memory loss in
later life.
Researchers looked at 15,263 female nurses of 70 or older.
The
shift-workers who had slept five hours or less or nine hours or more
had worse memory than women who slept for the same length of time each
night.
The study at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Massachusetts
found an average of seven hours is best.
Women who have obesity surgery not only gain a new shape, they may acquire a different voice.
A
third of the women found their voices become higher. Some patients also
had a drop in loudness, according to research at the American
University of Beirut.
It
could be because loss of weight associated with surgery has a slimming
down effect on soft tissue in the back of the throat.
Symptoms of sleep
apnoea, which involves soft tissue in the throat, were also reduced.
