If you watch or read the news, there seems to be only one certainty at present, and that’s more bad news. All of this can leave you feeling overwhelmed with worry about your future, and anxious about your nances. Now add that to the high levels of anxiety created during the pandemic and lockdown and its little wonder that there is an explosion of mental health issues. Making budget cuts will help balance the household books, and spending wisely to invest in your mental health during di cult times will help you manage your fears and anxieties. Hypnotherapy can provide the techniques to guide you to better days. Contact Alan on: 07786 376980 or email: alan@ alanjoneshypnotherapy.com for more information. Healthy Tip: Staying Hydrated this Summer by the Health Promotion and Education Team at Heart Research UK Staying hydrated is important for keeping your heart and circulatory system healthy. irst o en feels similar to hunger, so drinking plenty of uid can prevent over-eating and weight-gain. We have some tips to help you stay hydrated. • Am I dehydrated? Symptoms of dehydration include headaches, tiredness, irritability and di culty concentrating. If your urine is pale and clear then you are hydrated. If your urine is more yellow, brown or dark in colour with a strong smell, you are probably not drinking enough. • How much should I drink? Aim to drink six to eight cups or glasses of uid every day. You may need to drink more during hot weather, or if you are doing a lot of physical activity. • What should I drink? Water is best, but if you don’t like water, you could try herbal teas or sugar-free squash. Co ee and tea also count, but try to cut out any added sugar. You can get water from fruit and vegetables, such as cucumber, watermelon, tomatoes, oranges and apples. Avoid drinking too much alcohol as it causes you to urinate more, which can lead to dehydration.
