"Who was Hippocrates, then?" queried Squishy. Coco looked wildly round on the floor and walls as if the answer would be found writ large thereon. "Well, he was one of these Greek bods, wasn't he? A Greek phil- —" "Physician, it says here," remarked Squishy, reading from the gallery brochure. "Yes!" cried Coco. "I mean, yes, that's what I was about to say. A physician. A Greek physician. In about 400 BCE."
While getting pampered, you met Squishy.
Coco shook paws with Squishy the Blue Party Elephant. They both received one silver mole!
The matter of Hippocrates' profession and era having been pretty much thrashed out, Andrew and Coco moved on to the next exhibit. "It doesn't say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, Coco," remarked Andrew. "Well—I would say it's a good thing. It could do with a bit of salad cream on it, though. And I hope the bread's buttered."
While getting pampered, you met Andrew.
Coco shook paws with Andrew the Green Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!

"My goodness, what perfect raspberries, Olivia!" breathed Coco. "Mmm," agreed Olivia. "What does it say about them?" Coco consulted the guide. "They're very high in Vitamin C—there's a surprise!—they have Vitamin B6, magnesium, iron and calcium." "A good glug of double cream would go with them beautifully," remarked Olivia. "Why not, Olivia? There's zero carbs in cream."
While getting pampered, you met Olivia.
Coco shook paws with Olivia the Brown Owl. They both received one silver mole!
Olivia and you found 5 "Spring Chicken Plushie" size 4.
"I'm really getting hungry now!" remarked Coco. "'What's your favourite topping?' it says here." "Well, butter is a sine qua non," responded Daba. "Of course. Well, my favourite topping is cheese." "Mine's scrambled egg. Or creamed mushrooms." "Or baked beans! Or a poached egg." "And that's before we get to the jam or peanut butter toppings. Toast is really versatile, isn't it?" concluded Daba.
While getting pampered, you met Daba.
Coco shook paws with Daba the Dauntless Dolphin. They both received one silver mole!
" 'Flower Power'," read out Coco. " 'Flowers and herbs can heal our ailments in a myriad ways.' " "Sounds interesting! Perhaps they'll have a book about it in the giftshop on the way out," responded Sneakers.
While getting pampered, you met Sneakers.
Coco shook paws with Sneakers the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
"You can keep the courgette," stated Coco firmly. "Yucky tasteless stuff." frisky pondered. "It probably wouldn't matter with the melon being there. It goes on quite a bit about the pomegranate seeds. It says they're good for Vitamin C, potassium and magnesium, but also antioxidants, which can help protect the body against inflammation and free radical damage." "You can get packs of pomegranate seeds in Tesco. And Asda. And Sainsbury's," remarked Coco. "Pretty much anywhere, I would think!" replied frisky. "And, I don't know, I guess the experts would say you're better off buying a whole pomegranate."
While getting pampered, you met frisky.
Coco shook paws with frisky the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
"This is quite a Christmassy exhibit!" exclaimed Coco. "It makes me think about Christmas baking, and hot chocolate with cinnamon!" "Good gracious! It says here that cinnamon has properties that are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, anticancer, lipid-lowering, and cardiovascular-disease-lowering, and also reputedly guards against neurological disorders!" "Wow!" responded Coco. "That sounds amazing, Berry!"
While getting pampered, you met Berry.
Coco shook paws with Berry the Strawberry Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
Mystic read from the brochure. "It says that oranges are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antimicrobial—they're simply delicious too, when either squeezed as juice or eaten in segments! They are of course high in Vitamin C and also in potassium and have numerous health benefits. It's no wonder that oranges are one of the most popular fruits around!" "I just love a glass of fresh orange for breakfast!" replied Coco.
While getting pampered, you met Mystic.
Coco shook paws with Mystic the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
"Here's a superfood, Zoe!" called out Coco. "It says that blueberries are low in calories and carbs, may help lower blood pressure, prevent heart disease, improve memory and aid in exercise recovery." "They sure pack a mighty punch for such a small berry!" marvelled Zoe.
While getting pampered, you met Zoe.
Coco shook paws with Zoe the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
"The brochure says that lemon can guard against anaemia," remarked Coco. "Strange! I wouldn't have thought lemons had a lot of iron in?" MacGuffin asked. "No, they don't—I mean, it says they have some, but the thing about lemon is that it aids the uptake of iron from other foods, making the total effect more beneficial," replied Coco.
While getting pampered, you met MacGuffin.
Coco shook paws with MacGuffin the Green Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!

"The jungle geranium is a small shrub from India and Sri Lanka that can also bloom easily in a pot. The blooms consist of umbels with many red flowers that are naturally pollinated by butterflies. It is the national flower of Suriname, on the north-east coast of South America, although the origin of the plant is in Asia. The species is found in open places in forests or along the forest edge. The oil extracted from jungle geranium contains essential nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants that can be beneficial for hair health. It includes vitamins A, C, and E." Coco paused for breath.

" 'A simple meal of bread and cheese, accompanied by beer, formed the basis of the midday meal of English farm labourers for centuries. It would be consumed out in the fields. The 'ploughman's lunch' remains, with some variations, a very popular pub meal.' " Coco closed the brochure and examined the exhibit. "That looks like really quite posh nosh! I bet the farm workers didn't have grapes with their lunch!" "Well, in theory, they could have done," answered Happy. "Viticulture was introduced to England in around 43 BCE after it was invaded by the Romans. But then the weather grew much colder so grapes wouldn't have been grown for a huge number of decades."
While getting pampered, you met Happy.
Coco shook paws with Happy the Midnight Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
Happy and you found 5 "Surprise! April Fool's Jester Poop" size 4.
"So—what benefits do strawberries have, choco?" asked Coco. "Apart from Vitamin C, of course! I suppose that goes without saying!" choco studied their gallery literature gravely. "You know, Coco, I've never seen so many poly-syllabled words in one place at once before as in this paragraph! Let's just say, strawberries are very good for your health!"
While getting pampered, you met choco.
Coco shook paws with choco the Chocolate Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
"Saffron!" announced Coco. "I know it's very expensive. We learnt on our Turkey trip—gosh! Exactly two years ago, that was!—that it comes from crocuses. Does it have any particular benefits?" "Not half!" responded Coco. "It's a mood-lifter. It's been found to be as effective as drugs for depression. It aids learning and memory function."
While getting pampered, you met Coco.
Coco shook paws with Coco the Panda Cub. They both received one silver mole!
"Ooh, these definitely are too spicy for my taste!" said Coco. Chesterfield consulted the literature. "Cayenne is good for the digestion. It's high in Vitamin A. Chili may offer several long-term health benefits. Paprika is high in Vitamins C and E and promotes wound healing and healthy sleep. Paprika powder is lovely on seafood sauce, by the way." "Hmm, well, I might try that, then," conceded Coco somewhat grudgingly.
While getting pampered, you met Chesterfield.
Coco shook paws with Chesterfield the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
Coco read from the placard in front of the exhibit. "Lemons grow on trees and are a hybrid of citron and lime. Being very tart, they are not eaten on their own but have many culinary uses, from lemonade to garnishes. They are high in Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and potassium." "I'll drink to that—in lemonade, obviously!" announced Millicent.

"Mint! I don't know what we'd do without it, do you, MillyVanilly?" announced Coco happily. "Like in mint-chocolate ice cream?" queried MillyVanilly. "Let's see—it says the benefits of mint are that it's quite high in Vitamin A, iron, manganese and folate, a good source of anti-oxidants, it's good for the digestion and inhaling it may increase alertness."
While getting pampered, you met MillyVanilly.
Coco shook paws with MillyVanilly the Vanilla Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
"Gosh, it says here that cucumber is a fruit! I didn't know that," remarked Coco. "They're low in calories and high in nutrients," said Choose a name. "I think I'll have a cucumber sandwich for lunch!" "The cucumber sandwich," stated Coco, "is the greatest ever British invention."
While getting pampered, you met Choose a name.
Coco shook paws with Choose a name the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
"Mmm, there's nothing like warm red onion and rosemary focaccia, Wyatt!" remarked Coco. "Or rosemary infused roast potatoes! Look, it says here that in addition to its many uses in cooking, rosemary has been used for thousands of years to treat a range of illnesses, including digestive problems, headaches, insomnia, rheumatic pain and as a tonic to improve physical, emotional and mental well-being. Rosemary has been shown to contain over 50 different phytochemicals linked with various health benefits." "Wow!" responded Coco.

"Cinnamon was once traded as currency," remarked Coco. "I can understand that!" responded Choose a name. "Look, it says it's derived from the inner bark of a small evergreen tree. The bark is peeled and laid in the sun to dry, where it curls into rolls known as cinnamon sticks. Hmm, I didn't know that. It's an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, may protect against infection, colds and the flu, may regulate blood sugar and protect against Alzheimer's." "I'll get me a cinnamon bun for after lunch!"
Coco has enjoyed trying healthy eating, but it is time to go home. Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also enjoy this event!
