Health is slow mornings and slalom sessions.
Meet Para Alpine skier, Menna Fitzpatrick.

She might be ParalympicsGB’s most decorated Winter Paralympian, but her days are full of quiet moments no one sees.

From dog walks to deadlifts, there’s a whole world of behind the scenes prep – both mental and physical – that fuels those pulse-racing moments.

Health is weekend walks and downhill dashes.
Para snowboarder James Barnes-Miller is no stranger to extremes.
But his everyday? It’s looks more familiar than you think.
When he’s not braving the board, he’s heading on lunchtime strolls and warming his little one’s toes – before getting ready to freeze his off again.

Health is humble hobbies and mountain mastery.
For most of us, teaching piano lessons, running a guide unit and learning a new language would be plenty. Not for Nina Sparks. On top of all that, she keeps herself busy doing a little something extra - Para snowboarding for ParalympicsGB. 🏔️

But her jam-packed schedule is full of quiet moments, too. Ones that mean she’s at her best when it’s time to buckle up those boots and brave the board.

Health is family fun and finding focus.

This is Scott Meenagh. Loving dad, caring husband, and Para Nordic skier with ParalympicsGB.

He’s known for his skill on the slopes, but you’re just as likely to find him on the school run.

Because it’s those little moments, the quiet routines and rhythms, that set him up for success in the snow.

Ever wondered whether your family’s health history could hint at your own heart risks?

Here’s one important red flag to be aware of:

If a close relative had a heart attack in their fifties (or earlier), it could mean you’re at higher risk too.

👉 Prioritise a check-up
👉 Keep an eye on your cholesterol
👉 Speak to a medical professional about long‑term heart health

Taking action early can make all the difference.

We all know the 14th is Valentine’s, but it is also National Impotence Day, which might be the most unexpected couple of the year. Impotence and erectile dysfunction are far more common than people think, and the myths around them can make reaching out feel harder than it needs to be. 💙

💪 It is not too embarrassing to speak to a doctor
💬 You are not too young to experience erectile dysfunction
🔥 Low libido is not uncommon
✔️ There are things you can do to treat it

If something feels different for you, support is there and you do not have to figure it out alone.

Small, sustainable changes can make a big difference when it comes to maintaining a healthy weight 💙

Here are a few habits that can help you feel your best 👇

🍽️ Cut back on ultra processed foods when you can, they are often high in calories and low in nutrients. Cooking at home can help you make simple, balanced swaps.

🥚 Include good sources of protein, like eggs, lean meat, oats and sweet potatoes, to keep you fuller for longer.

🏋️ Add resistance exercises to build muscle and boost the calories you burn, even at rest.

😴 Prioritise a good night’s sleep to help manage cravings and support healthy routines.

🧘 Learn to manage stress so you feel more like staying active, eating well and avoiding habits linked to weight gain, such as drinking alcohol.

Healthy weight maintenance is not about perfection, it is about small, consistent changes that work for you 💫

It's natural that we'd reach more for the hot drinks in the cold months rather than that refreshing glass of ice cold water we crave in the summer ❄️☕. But, have you ever thought about if one is better for your hydration than the other? Do hot drinks like tea and coffee even count towards your daily water intake? 💧

Let us explain... most adults need about 2 to 2.5 litres of fluid a day, which is around 8 glasses 🥤. In short, any non-alcoholic drink can be part of the two litres that you’re aiming to drink every day. So good news, those hot drinks do count ☕👍.

However, both have caffeine in them, which is a mild diuretic ⚠️. That means they might make you p*e more. But if you stick to the recommended limits for caffeine each day, it shouldn’t affect how hydrated you are. Also, watch out for how sweet you like your hot drinks, as it can easily drive up your daily sugar intake 🍬.
