If you’re reading this before your big night out, then try to ensure you drink plenty of water throughout the night. Try to drink a lot of water before going to bed to prevent the symptoms of dehydration and to wash out the alcohol from your system. Merry making usually involves lots of eating and drinking, but also an overdose of family time. Create a budget to ensure you don’t overspend this year. Where possible, avoid actually going to the shops and rather buy online. This Festive Season, be sure to schedule time for positive, relaxing activities that are focused on you and your needs. Remember that the Festive Season is not a good time to discuss difficult issues. Surround yourself with people who love you and accept you for who you are. Most importantly, look after yourselves and your loved ones this festive season. Remember, that sometimes this time of year truly can be perfectly imperfect. The thyroid is a small gland located in the front of your neck and throat. As small as it is, the thyroid has a huge role in our body’s function: it produces hormones that have an effect on metabolism, regulates calcium and phosphorus levels, produces proteins, maintains bone strength and controls body temperature. Diagnosis & treatment: Because these symptoms are associated with a slow metabolism, hypothyroidism can go undetected for years. Symptoms: Restlessness and difficulty concentrating, irritability, difficulty sleeping, tremors, weight loss, palpitations, sweating, diarrhea, thinning hair, itchy skin, menstrual changes, muscle weakness. Diagnosis & treatment: This too can be diagnosed with a blood test. Symptoms: A swollen thyroid gland, which leads to the swelling of the neck. In other words, a healthy diet can lower your risk of heart attack. Start off by having a chat to your GP regarding your family history of heart disease, have your blood pressure checked every year and cholesterol tested at least every five years (if you are at a high risk of heart disease, you will have to check more often than that). Try not to eat more than one serving of meat a day. Bananas are high in potassium, which also helps to lower blood pressure. However, a healthy heart lifestyle is more than just your diet and unfortunately there’s no escaping another key element: Exercise. Physical inactivity and obesity are risk factors in heart disease so to keep yourself heart healthy, try to exercise for 30 minutes at least five times per week.
