BBC Radio Scotland - Personal Best, Christmas health and fitness books, good health practice and the gift of giving

The importance of good health practice, health book reviews, and the benefits of giving.

Dr Andrew Murray explains the importance of good health practice in winter, Claire Maxted reviews fitness and health books, and Dr Steve Taylor explains the benefit of giving.

Coughs, colds and bugs are doing the rounds just now so Gillian Russell asks when we should be avoiding work (or parties or pantos) and how we can best halt the spread of winter bugs. GP Dr Andrew Murray explains the importance of adopting good health practice at this time of year, when we're the most infectious, how we help prevent getting colds in the first place and the best ways to get rid of bugs once we've got them.

Looking for an inspired Christmas present for someone who is into their health, fitness or wellbeing? Claire Maxted from Trail Running Magazine reviews the best fitness, nutrition, health and wellbeing books.

The Gift Of Giving - Psychologist Dr Steve Taylor explains the mental and physical health benefits of giving to others in ways that aren't actual gifts ... whether you are the giver, the receiver or just actually witnessing an act of kindness.
