🦴 WORLD OSTEOPOROSIS DAY – 20th OCTOBER

Osteoporosis affects millions worldwide, often silently. While medical treatments, nutrition, and exercise are the cornerstones of bone health, complementary therapies like reflexology can offer gentle support along the way.

✨ What is reflexology?
Reflexology involves applying pressure to specific zones on the feet, hands, face or ears, believed to correspond to different parts of the body. This can help relax the nervous system, encourage circulation, and support overall wellbeing.

Why it may help people with osteoporosis:
• Boosts blood and lymph flow to support nutrient delivery to bones
• Promotes deep relaxation and reduces stress hormones
• May help manage pain, stiffness, or discomfort
• Encourages better sleep and overall wellbeing

⚠️ Important: Reflexology does not rebuild bone density or replace medical treatment. Always speak to your healthcare team before starting any new therapy, especially if you have fractures or recent surgeries.

While reflexology is not a substitute for medical care or treatment, it can be a gentle and supportive complementary therapy. Here’s how it may contribute to better heart wellness:
* Stress reduction: Deep relaxation from reflexology can ease tension and lower stress hormones, helping reduce one of the significant risk factors for heart disease.
* Improved circulation: Reflex techniques aim to stimulate blood flow and support micro-circulation, which helps nourish tissues and may reduce vascular strain.
* Balance and resilience: Reflexology encourages systemic balance (nervous, circulatory, endocrine), supporting the body’s capacity to cope with stressors.
* Mind-body connection: The calming effect may help with better breathing, sleep, and mental health - all linked to cardiovascular well-being.

September Nostalgia It’s the time that smells like back to school
It used to be about a lot of yelling to get them out of bed, stiff collars, new ties that rarely came home, kit bags, manic school runs with all the other manic mums 😂
Now it’s just a text to see if they’re both ok, if they’re eating ok, if they’re safe, if they need anything!
One in another city, one on another Continent
Those times feeling stressed, rushing, shouting, shopping, the dreaded trip to Clarkes shoes which was always overrun with flustered mums and bored kids
Now it’s silent, unrushed and I’m so wishing they were both here, making noise, making mess and just being kids
It goes so bloody fast !

Today is national sleep day.. so why have I posted this picture of me soaking up the spring sunshine?
Because the sun is one of my most powerful sleep tools! ☀️😴
Sleep contributes to our overall health enormously. Good quality, restful sleep:
Supports our brain health - increasing cognitive function, memory, and concentration
Improves our mental wellbeing by boosting our mood and reducing irritability
Boosts our immune system - improving overall resilience and reducing our risk of catching illnesses
Improves heart health - supporting circulation and reducing risk of heart disease and strokes
Supports hormonal health - regulating hormonal cycles and stabilising overall mood
Allows muscular recovery and growth - good sleep is crucial for muscle building and bodily recovery.

One of the best ways to improve your sleep quality is by encouraging a regulated circadian rhythm. Having a regular sleeping pattern contributes significantly to this, but also getting sunlight in! As the season begins to change and we are finally seeing more sunlight, it is crucial for your sleep quality to get as much sunlight onto your skin and into your eyes as possible. Getting outside and soaking up the spring sun is an amazing way to help regulate your sleep for overall health! The first daylight your body is exposed to allows your brain to signal to your body that it is time to sleep 16 hours later, creating a natural rhythm for quality sleep.
