Not all advice is good

Husband reads several journals online including The Economist and New Scientist. Husband likes to tell me about articles he's read. The three that currently stick in my head are:
a) swimming in cold water is good for you;
b) being slightly overweight is better for you as you age; and
c) the benefits of exposing your un-sun-creamed  body to the sun outweigh the risk of skin cancer.

We are trying to swim in the (very) cold sea each day, conditions permitting. We are over-eating at the breakfast and dinner buffets in our hotel.

We are ignoring the last one and covering ourselves in sun cream. Apart from anything else being sun-burned is painful.

If swimming in cold water is good for you, I should be very healthy. My prep school had an open air swimming bath and I swam in it frequently. Does being soaked in an unexpected downpour count at all?
