High blood pressure affects around 1.4 billion adults worldwide, with 33% of people aged 30–79 impacted.

In the UK, 16 million adults are diagnosed, and up to 5 million may be undiagnosed.

Grip strength has been linked to blood pressure, and grip strength training can help build hand and forearm muscles safely. Combined with overall fitness and a healthy lifestyle, it supports heart health and physical wellbeing.

Why protein for breakfast could be a game-changer

🥚 Stronger bones: Protein helps maintain bone density, supporting those at risk of osteoporosis.

💪🏽 Muscle support: Starting the day with protein aids muscle maintenance, which is key for overall mobility and joint health, especially for arthritis.

📉 Blood sugar balance: Protein slows glucose absorption, helping manage type 2 diabetes and supporting steady energy levels.

🫀 Heart and blood pressure benefits: Including protein in your morning meal can improve satiety and help with weight management, indirectly supporting healthy blood pressure.

⚡ Tip: Think eggs (there's so many ways to cook them!), Greek yogurt, or protein-rich smoothies to kickstart your day on a strong, balanced note.

Many think brown sugar is a “healthier” choice - but when it comes to blood sugar, your body can’t tell the difference.

Both brown and white sugar are made mostly of sucrose, meaning they have almost identical effects on blood glucose and insulin levels.

The small amount of molasses in brown sugar adds flavour and colour, not real nutritional benefit.

For people managing or preventing type 2 diabetes, what matters most is total sugar intake - not the colour of the crystals.

✨ Different colour, same effect.
