We’ve had Robocop; somebody recently created RoboChef and there’s even been a robotic canine companion in Doctor Who, but now is the time to be worried: Robobarista is here.

The United Kingdom is in the midst of a juice boom.

“Juice is no longer the one-drink-fits-all health solution that it used to be,” one wellness commentator states. Indeed, the demand for juice – along with smoothies – has exploded in recent years and has become big business for cafes, bars, fitness centres and the likes.

There’s more to juice than apples, oranges and mango.

A brand new piece of academic research – which is set to be presented to the American Academy of Neurology – has suggested that coffee could lower the risk of multiple sclerosis.

The potential health benefits of coffee are numerous. Past studies have indicated that our espressos and Americanos could help protect against other forms of neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, as well as heart disease and diabetes.

Of course, with all the winter festivities now out of the way it means that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.

In fact, it’s this Saturday!

Now a few people might roll their eyes at this event and grumble about how it’s just something that is a corporate creation. But the truth is that it originated as a liturgical day of celebration in honour of some early Christian martyrs.
