25.01.2022 Today's #mentalhealth tip is to spend some time outdoors in a green space, whether it is your garden or a local park. Studies have shown that people who spend 2 hours a week in green spaces were substantially more likely to report good health and psychological well-being. Being in nature has the ability to reduce fear, anger and stress. It can lower blood pressure and stress hormone levels, enhance immune system function, reduce anxiety and improve your mood.... It helps us to cope with uncertainty, and helps us to feel connected with each other and the world around us. Find some time to be outside today, and notice these benefits for yourself.

17.01.2022 Whilst no food can relieve arthritis, eating certain foods can help combat inflammation. These include: omega-3 fatty acids from cold-water fish such as salmon and tuna, beans, flaxseeds, walnuts, green leafy vegetables, canola and olive oil, and green tea. Dairy products such as milk, yogurt and cheese contain calcium and vitamin D which also help by increasing bone strength.... Avoiding sugar, saturated fat as found in junk food and red meat, and refined carbohydrates such as white bread and white rice will also assist in decreasing inflammation.
