Hello April,

With the longer evenings it is a perfect time to start to think about aging well, so that we can hope to live long and healthy lives.

“Your body is your foundation for the years ahead.
Strengthen it with movement, nourish it with real food, and protect it with rest.
Longevity is about supporting your body, not pushing it.”

The foundations of health can be supported by making small changes.

One step a week can help you to make changes which stick.

I enjoyed taking part in the Surrey half marathon this morning, it was great weather which definitely helped 🌞 so I may have made some vit d too.

Not going to lie, it was a long way for me and I was happy to plod along, but it was an achievement for me - it was my third one and the last one was 4 and a half years ago.

I had fuelled up with a good breakfast and the thought of a roast dinner kept me going.

On the way home now for an Epsom Salt bath and a good nights sleep for recovery 🛁🛌.

I have definitely felt better including running ( normally 5k) in my life again so will aim to keep it up now, but with a mix of resistance training at the gym and Pilates for flexibility.

Exercise is one of the pillars of a longer healthspan.

What is better on a rainy afternoon than a batch of baking, stocking up on healthier foods for the week.

I made granola, protein balls, cookies and an omega seed mix bread.

All to help me make healthier choices during a busy week.

Let me know if you would like any of the recipes.

Having sat at my desk for a few hours, it was time for some movement 🚶‍♀️

Chamomile tea isn’t just for relaxation;
its anti-inflammatory effects can help lower stomach acid levels and promote healing of the gut lining, providing relief from heartburn.

Enjoy a cup after meals to soothe your digestive tract.

I have not been to the gym for nearly 2 weeks, but I was back there today.

Resistance training is important for metabolic health, it improves insulin resistance, helps to keep your bones strong, supports your cognition and can boost your mood.

I aim to go three times a week as a minimum, even going for 20 minutes is worth it as it helps to build consistency, it helps to build a habit.

I would recommend starting resistance training for all the reasons above plus it makes you feel good too.

Try a dose of lifestyle medicine and feel the benefits - you could try these different steps:

- go to bed 1/2 hour earlier
- drink an extra glass of water
- add more herbs and spices to your meals
- walk for 10 minutes after eating
- start resistance training
- enjoy a relaxing bath for some self-care
- include more veggies

Small, easy steps are the best way to go.

Try doing One Step a Week for 12 weeks.

The main active compound in turmeric is curcumin, the health benfits of which include:

- it may help to reduce inflammation
- it may help to protect you from oxidative stress by neutralising the free radicals which can cause it
- it may help with the development of new brain cells
- it may help to support your heart health
- it may help to relieve the pain from arthritis

Help your body absorb the curcumin by including some fat and black pepper in the meal.

Try a turmeric latte, a turmeric tea, or add to your soups, casseroles - or add to your porridge perhaps.

Personally I do love a turmeric latte, especially on these chilly days - have you tried one?
Let me know in the comments.

We had a beautiful morning walk along Lake Windermere this morning.

We are lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

I was happy to be back at Parkrun today 😊 .

It’s a great way to start the weekend, even in the Lake District weather 🌧️🌧️.

What is your fav veg?

Tender stem is a winner in our house, which is a great plan as it has many health benefits.

It is a source of vitamins and minerals, plus fibre - many people are not eating enough fibre.

It is a cruciferous veg which will support your liver with detoxification.

Sulforaphane is phytonutrient in broccoli which is anti-inflammatory, an antioxidant and it may support heart health .

However, to release the sulforaphane the broccoli must be cut, chopped or chewed.

Do you eat broccoli each week - adding it to your weekly shop would be an easy step in your health journey.

I enjoyed my day of learning with .

Did you know that your brain consumes around 20% of the calories you eat and the oxygen you breathe.

Your brain likes habits because they require less brain power to do - this is why making changes is not always so easy and we like to stay in our comfort zone.

One Step a Week can help as making small, manageable changes is the way to have sustainable new habits.

Your mind is for processing, how you think, feel & choose, it is made up with your experiences and will be constantly changing.

To make changes we may have to work on our mind as well to change the stories we have told ourselves about past experiences, as these can be holding us back.

Do you think how the foods you eat can be nourishing your brain and mind?
