Stop Stressing & Enjoy your Christmas!

It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, but it’s important to take a step back and focus on enjoying yourself and managing stress. Here are some tips to help you relax, de-stress, and truly enjoy your Christmas:

1. Set Realistic Expectations
Don’t try to do everything. Accept that things won’t be perfect, and that’s okay. Focus on what truly matters: spending quality time with loved ones and creating meaningful memories. Don’t compare yourself to others on Social Media.
2. Practice Mindfulness
Take a moment each day to breathe deeply, be present, and appreciate the little things. Whether it’s the twinkling lights or a cozy cup of hot chocolate, mindfulness can help you relax and stay grounded.
3. Take Breaks
The holidays can be overwhelming with shopping, cooking, and hosting. Remember to take time for yourself. Whether it’s a walk in the fresh air, reading a book, or enjoying a quiet cup of tea, allow yourself moments of peace.
4. Delegate Tasks
Don’t feel like you have to do everything yourself. Delegate cooking, shopping, or decorating to others who are willing to help. Sharing responsibilities can lighten your load and make the whole season more enjoyable.

A Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of your urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters, or urethra. UTIs are common, especially among women, and can cause uncomfortable symptoms, such as the burning sensation when you p*e.

Common Symptoms of a UTI:
- [ ] Burning sensation or pain during urination
- [ ] Frequent urge to urinate, even if little urine comes out
- [ ] Cloudy, dark, or strong-smelling urine
- [ ] Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
- [ ] Blood in the urine (sometimes, the urine may appear pink or red)
- [ ] Feeling tired or shaky
- [ ] Fever (in some cases, particularly if the infection has spread to the kidneys)
- [ ] Causes of UTIs:
- [ ] Bacterial infection: Most UTIs are caused by bacteria, usually Escherichia coli (E. coli), which normally lives in the intestines but can enter the urinary tract.
- [ ] Sexual activity: Sexual in*******se can introduce bacteria into the urinary tract, increasing the risk of infection.
- [ ] Poor hygiene: Wiping from back to front after using the toilet can introduce bacteria into the urinary tract.
- [ ] Urinary retention: Holding in urine for too long can promote bacterial growth.
- [ ] Catheters: People who use urinary catheters are more at risk for UTIs.

How UTIs Are Treated:
Antibiotics: The most common treatment for UTIs is a course of antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare provider. The type of antibiotic depends on the bacteria causing the infection.
Hydration: Drinking plenty of water helps flush out the bacteria. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods, which may irritate the bladder.
Rest: Adequate rest can help your body fight off the infection.

Preventing UTIs:
- [ ] Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and flush out bacteria.
- [ ] Urinate when you feel the urge—don’t hold it in.
- [ ] Wipe front to back after using the toilet to avoid spreading bacteria from the a**s to the urethra.
- [ ] Urinate after s*x to help flush out bacteria.
- [ ] Avoid irritating feminine products, such as douches and powders, which can disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in the ge***al area.
- [ ] Wear cotton underwear and avoid tight-fitting clothes to allow the area to breathe.

When to See a Doctor:
If you suspect you have a UTI, it's important to see a healthcare provider, especially if:

The symptoms are severe or persist for more than a day or two.
You experience fever, chills, nausea, or pain in the back or side (which may indicate the infection has reached the kidneys).

You have recurrent UTIs, as this may require further investigation or longer-term treatment.
Getting the right treatment quickly can prevent the infection from spreading or becoming more severe. So, if you're experiencing symptoms of a UTI, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider as soon as possible.

Preventing s*xually transmitted diseases (STDs) is crucial year-round, but it’s especially important during the holiday season when socialising, parties, and intimate gatherings are common.

Here are several ways to reduce the risk of STDs this Christmas and beyond:
1. Use Protection
Condoms are one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of most STDs. Use them consistently during any s*xual activity, including vaginal, a**l, and oral s*x.

2. Limit Sexual Partners
Reducing the number of s*xual partners lowers your risk of contracting an STD. Establish clear communication about s*xual health with any new partner.
3. Get Tested
Before engaging in s*xual activity, especially with a new partner, get tested for STDs. Encourage your partner to do the same.

4. Communicate Openly
Discuss your s*xual health with your partner(s). It’s vital to talk openly about any potential risks or past exposures to STDs.
Consent and communication are key. Ensure both you and your partner are comfortable with the precautions you’re taking.
5. Avoid Alcohol and Drugs
Excessive alcohol and drugs can impair judgment and lead to risky s*xual behavior. Keep your wits about you to make safer choices.
6. Be Cautious About New Partners
If you’re meeting someone new during holiday events or parties, be cautious before engaging in s*xual activity. Even if someone seems healthy, they may still have an STD.

Do you know the symptoms of a Stroke?

The main symptoms of a stroke can happen suddenly. They may include:

▪️face weakness – one side of your face may droop (fall) and it might be hard to smile
▪️arm weakness – you may not be able to fully lift both arms and keep them there because of weakness or numbness in 1 arm
▪️sp*ech problems – you may slur your words or sound confused

The easiest way to remember these symptoms is the word FAST. This stands for: face, arms, sp*ech and time to call 999 or 112.

Other symptoms of a stroke
There are other signs that you or someone else is having a stroke. These include:

weakness or numbness down 1 side of your body
blurred vision or loss of sight in 1 or both eyes
finding it difficult to speak or think of words
confusion and memory loss
feeling dizzy or falling over
a severe headache
feeling or being sick (nausea or vomiting)

Symptoms of a stroke can sometimes stop after a short time, so you may think you’re OK. Even if this happens, get medical help straight away.

Please share this with a Friend this Christmas and help save a life 🫶

Does a Mediterranean diet help Menopause?

A Mediterranean-inspired diet could help balance your hormones, minimise your perimenopause and menopause symptoms, keep your weight down, reduce your belly fat (or so-called meno-belly) and protect your heart and cognitive and bone health. The Mediterranean Diet is a way of eating that emphasises plant-based foods and healthy fats. You focus on overall eating patterns rather than following strict formulas or calculations.

In general, you’ll eat:

Lots of vegetables, fruit, beans, lentils and nuts.
A good amount of whole grains, like whole-wheat bread and brown rice.
Plenty of extra virgin olive oil as a source of healthy fat.
A good amount of fish, especially fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
A moderate amount of natural cheese and yogurt.
Little or no red meat, choosing poultry, fish or beans instead of red meat.
Little or no sweets, sugary drinks or butter.
A moderate amount of wine with meals

Cholesterol is a type of fat in our blood which is produced by the liver.

Everyone has cholesterol.

Some of this cholesterol comes from the food that we eat. Our bodies need a certain amount of cholesterol for normal cell function, to help digestion and produce certain hormones.

So not all cholesterol is bad. If your total cholesterol is high, it can mean that you have a lot of LDL (bad) cholesterol in your blood.

Too much LDL cholesterol can be harmful because it sticks to the inside walls of your arteries. This can lead to fatty material building up – in a process called atherosclerosis. It makes it harder for blood to flow through, which can lead to a stroke or heart attack.

Having high cholesterol affects people of all ages. Making small changes now can make a big difference to your life now and in the future, especially if you already have heart disease or a family history of it.

Things that can cause high cholesterol
▪️An unhealthy diet
▪️Not being active enough
▪️Smoking can lead to the build-up of tar in your arteries which makes it easier for cholesterol to stick to your artery walls
▪️Having a higher weight, holding weight around your middle area or having diabetes increase your risk of having high cholesterol.

A number of other things which you have no control over can cause high cholesterol. These include getting older, gender, ethnic background, familial hypercholesterolaemia (a genetic condition meaning that you are born with a high level of cholesterol in your blood and have no control over it), having an underactive thyroid or kidney or liver disease.

Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death for women.

1 in 4 women dies from heart disease and stroke. Be aware.

As well as making heart-healthy lifestyle changes, it’s important to be aware of the symptoms of heart attack.

Women are less likely than men to recognise the symptoms of heart attack, and also take longer than men to get medical help and treatment after experiencing one.

The following symptoms of heart attack are common in women:
▪️chest pain that spreads to the neck, shoulder and left arm
▪️difficulty breathing
▪️feeling dizzy
▪️vomiting or feeling like you are going to vomit
sweating

Less common symptoms that may occur:
▪️back pain
▪️stomach pain
▪️extreme fatigue

Some of these symptoms are common in other health conditions too, so you may not think they could be a heart attack. Don’t ignore them.
