Myth: Older people just don’t need as much sleep
Fact: Quality sleep is crucial for memory, mood, and physical recovery at every age
Poor sleep isn’t something you should have to put up with. It can make everyday tasks harder, affect balance, and even accelerate decline.
Here are some tips for better sleep from the LifeCurve:
- Stick to a consistent bedtime routine.
- Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and screen-free.
- Move during the day. Gentle exercise improves sleep quality.
Good sleep habits are linked to staying independent for longer.

The 14th of November is World Diabetes Day, where people come together to raise funds and awareness around diabetes and its treatment. There is a strong link between diabetes and potential foot problems due to the impact of high blood sugar levels. Top foot care tips include inspecting your feet daily, moisturising, nail care, and wearing the right socks and diabetes-friendly shoes can make all the difference.
Diabetes UK runs the Putting Feet First campaign to raise awareness on how to look after your feet to avoid potentially serious problems in the future. Click here for more information. https://www.diabetes.org.uk/support-us/campaign/other-campaigns/putting-feet-first
On The LifeCurve, we know that being able to reach your feet to look after them is important; that's why we have specially designed solutions around how to care for your feet. Register here to download the app soon! https://www.thelifecurve.com/download-the-app

The 13th of November is World Kindness Day!

What does kindness mean to you? Being kind can take many different forms, from self-care to kindness towards others. It costs nothing to be kind, and often a small act of kindness sparks many others.
Here at The LifeCurve, we often find that being mindful of people's abilities and allowing and encouraging them to do as much as they can before we step in to help is the kindest thing we can do!

Age UK has lots of ideas on how you can reach out in small ways and make someone smile today. https://www.ageuk.org.uk/get-involved/volunteer/small-acts-of-kindness

Did you know the little things you do every day can make a big difference? Standing up without using your arms, adding an extra 5 minutes to your walk, or swapping a snack for fruit are all choices that could help keep you higher on The LifeCurve for longer.
Because ageing well isn’t about overnight change, it’s about the small steps, the everyday wins, that lead to big results over time.
What’s one small step you’re taking today?

Welcome back to The LifeCurve GYM! Today's movement is a grip strengthener. Practising this exercise will improve the strength in your fingers and hands, improving your grip for everyday activities.

1. Whilst standing, relax your arms down by your side as if you are about to pick up a shopping bag.
2. Lightly hold a soft ball, or a rolled up pair of socks and start to squeeze it to a point where you are squeezing as hard as you can.
3. Keep squeezing for a few seconds, then slowly release the grip completely.
4. Relax and then repeat.
5. Maintain your usual breathing throughout.
6. This movement can be completed one hand at a time, or both hands together.

Challenge yourself to do this exercise for a few minutes every day and see how quickly you improve your grip strength!

Myth: Asking for help means losing control.
Fact: Getting the right advice early is how you stay in control.

The truth is, independence doesn’t mean doing everything on your own. It means knowing when to get the right support, so you can keep living life your way.
The LifeCurve™ gives you tailored guidance, movement routines, and expert support to help you stay independent for longer.

Pumpkin spice and everything nice… including your joints!

Pumpkin isn’t just for lattes and pies; it’s packed with beta-carotene and antioxidants that help fight inflammation and pain. And don’t forget the seeds! They’re full of omega-3s, magnesium, and minerals that support bone strength and joint health. So this autumn, enjoy your pumpkin treats knowing they’re doing more than just tasting good!

Welcome back to The LifeCurve GYM! Today's movement is stepping up and down. This is one of the most important movements we can practise to maintain our independence. Stepping up and down will improve the strength and balance in your lower body, and support day-to-day movements such as walking, getting to the shops, and climbing the stairs.

1. Use your bottom stair and hold on, if needed.
2. Step up, using your strongest leg, making sure your whole foot is on the step if possible.
3. Push upwards and forwards from the lower foot, bringing it onto the step beside the leading foot.
4. On the way down, lead with your weaker leg.
5. Try to maintain a tall posture throughout.

Challenge yourself to do this exercise for a few minutes every day and see how quickly you improve your lower body strength!
