Daily balancing exercises are so important whatever your age. A critical predictor for longevity is the length of time someone can stand on one leg. Daily balancing exercises are always on the weekly action plan for some of my older clients and it really does help with their mobility and confidence when out and about and walking on uneven ground. There are lots of exercises to choose from, but the two below are quick and easy to master - enjoy!

You can practice standing on one leg anywhere. I do whilst cleaning my teeth. If you have an electric toothbrush you can switch legs after the first minute! You can also practice whilst waiting for the kettle to boil or standing in the queue at the supermarket!

Another good test of balance is to walk in a straight line making sure your heel touches your big toe on each step and your arms by your side. (Imagine you are on a tight rope). You may get strange looks doing this out and about, but a good one for around the house or garden to keep yourself amused and your balance and co ordination tip top!

Happy balancing!

This summer has been particularly bad for mosquitos and eating outside in the evening is not as pleasant as it should be when any exposed flesh is being attacked by mosquitos. I won’t use chemical repellents, so was so happy when I came across this natural and highly effective recipe on a random Facebook feed. (Thank you!)

The photo is my first attempt, I will definitely be investing in a long glass dish with 3 or 4 floating candles to decorate my table on summer evenings.

Ingredients

Empty Jam jar (s)

Lemon

Lime

Fresh basil leaves

Lemongrass (not citronella) oil

A tea light or floating candle

Water.

Slice up the lemon and lime and add to the jar. Add some basil leaves and top up with water.

Add 10 drops of lemongrass oil, stir.

Add the candle, light it and enjoy some pest free evenings!

Lemongrass has a softer smell than citronella and is it far more effective at repelling mosquitos, house flies and other insects!

Lab tests can test your urine for hormones, nutrient metabolites, heavy metals, glucose and protein, but on a day to day level the colour and smell of your p*e can tell you a lot of about your health.

I have just come across a standard colour chart which I thought I would share with you!

1 - Clear or pale yellow - ideal colour and shows good hydration

2 - Dark yellow - warning sign of dehydration especially if strong smelling

3 - Pink - don’t panic, 2/10 people can have something called “beeturia” after eating beets, it means that they cannot breakdown the red colouring, similar to those who have very smelly or greenish p*e after eating asparagus.

4 - Neon Yellow - again nothing to worry about, it is due to consuming or supplementing with Vitamin B2 alone (it has a naturally bright colour) or a B complex with B2 in it.

5 - Dark Brown - some medications can cause red blood cells to breakdown very quickly which are excreted through the kidneys causing dark urine. However, IF you have been exercising excessively and have dark brown p*e, please see you dr to make sure your kidneys are not being damaged by the rapid breakdown of muscle and release of toxins.

6 - Foamy - this could be the force of your flow hitting the water, but if it is a regular occurrence and remains cloudy in the bowl, get it checked by a dr as it could be a sign of protein in urine.

7 - Bright Red - Not only terrifying to find blood in the bowl, but most likely due to a UTI, bladder or kidney infections so very important to see a dr asap!

The most important thing is to stay well hydrated, especially with the hot weather we are having at the moment. Make sure you have a glass of water between every glass of wine your pour! Your body, brain and kidneys will thank you!

Have a good weekend!

I love bean sprouts and germinate my own seeds, Alfalfa is my favourite, but you can germinate most grains and legumes including broccoli, radish, lentils, watercress (the list is endless!)

All it takes is a large jam jar or geminating jar, some seeds, water for rinsing x 2 day and patience! It’s well worth the hassle due to the health benefits you will get from adding a few spoons to salads, summer soups and sandwiches!

Harvesting the seeds in their initial growth phase means they have a high concentration of nutrients including Magnesium, Phosphorus, Manganese, Chlorophyl, EFA’s, Vitamins C, K and Folate not to mention being rich in anti oxidants and fibre.

Not only are they delicious, but also good for weight management due to being nutrient dense and low in calories, can help balance blood glucose levels due to their high fibre content and supports digestion due to being high in pre digest enzymes.

What’s not to love!

Heart health is so important and too many people, both young and old are suffering from high blood pressure, an irregular heart beat and other forms of heart disease due to modern day living and excessive stress.

Be kind to your heart and it will look after you.

I’m obviously going to say a nutrient dense whole food diet packed full of anti oxidants and fibre is step 1!

Hydration is a close second - When you are dehydrated your blood volume decreases which means your heart has to beat faster to keep the blood circulating, your blood pressure can also rise too.

Be mindful of caffiene and alcohol consumption, both of which increase your heart rate and raise blood pressure.

Replace table salt with rock or natural salt, which won't raise blood pressure.

Exercise daily - so important to improve circulation, regulate blood sugar levels and help with weight loss, not to mention help with reducing stress ..

Manage stress - Cortisol and Adrenaline are involved in regulating blood pressure and your heart rate so time for relaxation and self care is essential.

Add herbs and spices to your food (eg, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon and coriander) - not only are they delicious, but they help circulation, reduce inflammation, reduce clots and promote blood flow which maintains blood pressure.

This is a subject close to my heart (excuse the pun!), I have friends struggling with this at the moment, for further info or a plan of action give me a call.

From time to time I have a real urge for a simple and tasty pasta dish for lunch. This fresh and spicy cherry tomato sauce takes minutes to make and is delicious served with gluten free pasta and a fresh green salad.

Sauté a finely sliced onion and a crushed clove of garlic in a spoon of olive oil, when soft add approx 250g of fresh cherry tomatoes, as they start to cook, let some break down, but keep a few whole. Add a bit of water if necessary and serve with fresh basil. Add some fresh chillies or chilli flakes if you prefer a spicy mix! Enjoy!

What a great quote.

If you treat your body with respect and feed it a healthy balanced diet it will reward you with glowing skin, boundless energy and a strong immune system.

I always have a jar of Kefir Water fermenting at home - my favourite is Ginger and lemon and it is a daily must to keep my digestion active, gut healthy and immune system strong.

As well as being dairy and caffeine free, a regulate intake of Kefir water is said to boost energy and mood, is anti inflammatory, anti fungal and antibiotic, can help reduce blood pressure and cholesterol not to mention being loaded with valuable enzymes, beneficial acids, vitamins and minerals.

I'm well aware that Rosé season is upon us, however, before you get stuck in and pour endless glasses for visiting family and friends, please make sure you keep an eye out for signs that your liver is struggling to keep up with detoxifying everything that you are drinking and ingesting.

Common signs of a sluggish liver can be:

Weight gain

Feeling tired and a lacking in energy

Hormone imbalances, eg mood swings, hot flushes, irregular periods.

Skin issues - weird rashes or itchy skin.

Digestive issues - bloating, heart burn or constipation.

Good liver function is a priority if you want to stay healthy and make sure your body is well balanced.

For info on how to cleanse and restore your liver give me a call.

Meet Nepi, the reason why I have been quiet for the past couple of months. It has been 3 years since we had a dog in our house, I cannot tell you how happy I am to have finally found this gorgeous and very energetic girl to make our house a home again. My sleep has been trashed, I feel like I am 105, daily walks are slower but more entertaining, however, I wouldn't change it for the world. A couple of months in and we are over the baby stage. My step count is slowly getting back up to normal levels as she grows stronger, she sleeps through the night, naps lots during the day, always wants to play and brings all of us so much joy!
