πŸ•°οΈ The clocks go back this Sunday

Darker evenings can affect how we feel. For some people, low mood comes back every winter. This is called seasonal affective disorder, or SAD.

Signs include low mood, losing interest in things you usually enjoy, and sleeping more or feeling more tired than usual.

Getting out in daylight, staying active and keeping in touch with people can help.

πŸ‘‰ Aged 16 or over? You can refer yourself to NHS Talking Therapies: https://www.nhs.uk/tests-and-treatments/talking-therapies/

How strong are your bones?

Today is World Osteoporosis Day. Osteoporosis makes bones weaker and more likely to break, but there are simple things you can do to help keep your bones strong.

βœ”οΈ Stay active. Brisk walking, dancing and strength exercises are all good for your bones.
βœ”οΈ Eat calcium. Good sources include dairy, leafy greens and tofu.
βœ”οΈ Top up vitamin D. Think about taking 10 micrograms a day, especially in autumn and winter when the sun isn’t strong enough.
βœ”οΈ Stop smoking. And keep alcohol to 14 units a week or less.

If you already have osteoporosis, speak to us before starting a new exercise plan.
