Edinburgh street named as one of UK's 'unhealthiest' in new study
A city centre street in the heart of Edinburgh has been named as one of the UK's unhealthiest High Streets. The Royal Mile has landed at 16th on the list, with the tourist hotspot being singled out for being home to an astronomical number of unhealthy stores. Chemist4U found that, on the Royal Mile, there are 123 stores that it classed as unhealthy. With 546 food-related stores in total in a 500-metre radius, this equates to 22.53 per cent being non-healthy, the Daily Record reports.

They noted the number of unhealthy stores and outlets within a 500-metre radius of each one, including fast food outlets and confectioneries. According to the results, Buchanan Street in Glasgow is the most unhealthy high street in Scotland. The iconic city street also placed at number seven on the UK-wide list.

The experts found that 28.37 per cent of stores in a 500-metre radius of Buchanan Street are "unhealthy". According to Chemist4U, there are 99 stores with poor diet options and 349 food-related stores overall around the street. Elsewhere, topping the overall list as the unhealthiest high street in the UK is St. Peter's Street in Derby. Within a 500-metre radius, it was found that 46.1 per cent of stores were classified as "unhealthy". Head of Pharmacy at Chemist4U Jason Murphy commented: "It's easy to fall into unhealthy eating habits when fast food and sugary snacks are so readily available on our high streets. "While the occasional treat is fine, regularly relying on processed foods can have long-term effects on your weight, heart health, and energy levels. "Small, sustainable changes, such as swapping fizzy drinks for water or choosing grilled options over fried, can make a real difference. If you're unsure where to start, speak to your pharmacist." To put together their list, the experts narrowed down the results to focus on the most populated cities in the UK. They then counted the number of unhealthy points of interest such as fast food outlets, ice cream parlours, vending machines, confectioneries, bakeries, tortilla shops, and convenience stores. To determine the percentage of unhealthy stores surrounding each high street, they calculated the ratio of unhealthy points of interest to total food-related points of interest. This percentage allowed Chemist4U to identify the high streets with the highest concentration of unhealthy establishments. See below for the list of the UK's 19 unhealthiest high streets.

Royal Sources Claim Kate Middleton Will "Dramatically Scale Back" Her Responsibilities After "Wake-Up Call" Over Skipping Royal Ascot
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. On June 18, Kate Middleton suddenly canceled a planned appearance at Royal Ascot, with sources claiming the Princess of Wales was "disappointed" to miss the event. Royal experts suggested Prince William would "feel the void" at Royal Ascot without his wife, but royal aides subsequently claimed that Kate's absence was "no cause for alarm." Now, the Daily Beast is reporting that Princess Kate's decision to skip Ascot was indicative of more serious issues. "The last few years have been horrific," a former Royal Family staff member told the outlet. "[T]he relentless speculation about her and William, Queen [Elizabeth]'s death, The King's diagnosis which had them both thinking they were going to have to take over and then her own cancer diagnosis and treatment." Unsurprisingly, the challenges Princess Kate has been dealing with have "taken [their] toll." Luckily, the Prince of Wales is standing by to "fight tooth and nail to see she is given" extra "time to recover," should she need it, per the former staff member. The former royal staff member elaborated, telling the Daily Beast, "Kate is recalibrating her entire life, her entire work-life balance. Wednesday was a wake-up call, not a one-off. She has never found the public appearances, and the forensic attention and criticism that goes with them, at all easy to deal with, and it was just too much this week." As a result of Kate's Royal Ascot cancellation, and the ensuing public reaction, experts believe the Princess of Wales will retreat from public life, to some extent. According to the Daily Beast, royal sources told the outlet "they expected Kate to dramatically scale back her public appearances for the rest of the year and instead increase her online and digital footprint, remotely supporting causes close to her heart." Essentially, Kate's health, following her cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy treatment, is more important than anything else. "Kate will take it much easier for the rest of the year," one source alleged to the outlet. "I'd be surprised if you see her more than three times in the next three months."
