Helen really enjoyed the sunshine and having a trip to Canterbury with staff member Shannon! Helen had a couple of ‘photo moments’, and also had a lovely time feeding the ducks and swans. Afterwards, Helen enjoyed a little picnic, she had prepared with Shannon, to take with her, and ended the day with a lovely ice cream. Helen really loved her day out!

This is 'Know Your Numbers! Week' a campaign to reach those who have high blood pressure and don’t know it, so they can get the treatment and support they need to bring it under control. High blood pressure can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and other illnesses. Once you Know Your Numbers! you can get support to bring your blood pressure under control and prevent these diseases.

Around a third of people in the UK have high blood pressure, but most don’t know it. It doesn’t have any symptoms so, the only way to find out is to have a blood pressure check.

You can have a blood pressure check at your GP surgery and also at many pharmacies, or measure it at home with a monitor easily bought at the pharmacy.

Things you can do to keep your blood pressure at healthy levels include:
Keep to a healthy weight and waist/height ratio.
Exercise regularly.
Eat a healthy diet.
Reduce salt and sodium in your foods.
Limit alcohol.
Limit caffeine.
Get a good night's sleep.
Reduce stress.
Quit (or at least reduce) smoking.
Monitor your blood pressure.
Be mindful of other ‘numbers’ like your cholesterol and blood sugar; our body systems are linked.

Know your numbers and stay well :)

Did you know that nature is good for your mental and physical health?...

Summer is the perfect time to get outdoors and reap the benefits of nature! Spending time in nature is not just a pleasant escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life; it is also a powerful contributor to your health and well-being. Immersing yourself in natural surroundings can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve anxiety, depression and overall mood. Studies suggest that exposure to green spaces can enhance cognitive function and increase creativity. Additionally, sunlight exposure helps boost vitamin D levels, which is crucial for bone health and immune function. Nature also encourages physical activity, which is beneficial for cardiovascular health and maintaining a healthy weight. Overall, nature offers a holistic approach to improving both mental and physical health.

Five Ways to Connect with Nature
🚶 Take a Daily Walk: Spend time in a local park or nature reserve.
🪴 Gardening: Cultivate plants, flowers, or vegetables.
🧘 Outdoor Exercise: Practice yoga or tai chi in a natural setting.
📷 Nature Photography: Capture the beauty of the outdoors.
🏕️ Camping: Spend a night under the stars to fully immerse yourself in nature.
