England’s NHS chief executive warns people not to eat Easter eggs whole at once, while doctors say “life is too short” and cut back on holidays this holiday season “Life is too short,” he said.
In a blog post, NHS medical director Dr Andrew Kelso advised people to watch their waistlines and be moderate when it comes to chocolate treats.
“I would encourage people to enjoy Easter eggs in moderation,” Kelso said. “Enjoy sweets, but don’t eat too much.”
