Lindsey Fitness News - 30t November 2023 - Your Future Health

Published: Thu, 11/30/23

I hope all is well with you , especially as the momentum gains as we start December.

Last Saturday 15 Lindsey Fitness members and their families along with myself took part in the excellent CPR and Defibrillation practical workshop at the Ridgeway Academy. The session which is we hold every 3 years, was hosted by Dave and Arline Hursey from DiPPs (Defibrillators In Public Places).

The session was highly informative and gave participants the opportunity to practice both life saving Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and how to use a PAD (Public Access Defibrillator).

There were lots of good questions asked and everyone took part enthusiastically in the practical techniques giving them the confidence to act should they need to in an emergency situation.

Early CPR and Defibrillation greatly increases the chances of survival from Cardiac arrest. Access to defibrillators in public places will help fight the odds of survival for the 60,000 people who will have a cardiac arrest in a public place each year. Having the knowledge of how to administer CPR and use a defibrillator can only enhance that.

The session was also an opportunity for me to get our own PAD checked. I carry one at all classes and running club sessions and am pleased to say it is all in order for the next 2 years should it be needed.

A donation of £220 was made to DiPPs by Saturdays participants to help them continue to get more PAD's into the community.

Take Part in the NHS Future Health Survey

The Future Health Survey aims to be the UK’s largest ever health research programme. It is designed to help people live healthier lives for longer through the discovery and testing of more effective approaches to prevention, earlier detection, and treatment of diseases.

The NHS Future Health Survey aims to gather valuable insights and opinions from the public regarding the future of healthcare and the NHS.

The primary objective of the survey is to understand the evolving needs and expectations of the population in relation to healthcare services. It seeks to explore various aspects of healthcare, including access to services, quality of care, technological advancements, and patient experiences. By collecting this information, the NHS can gain a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities it may face in the future.

The NHS Future Health Survey serves as a crucial tool in understanding public perspectives on healthcare and guiding the future direction of the NHS. By actively involving the public in shaping the healthcare system, the survey aims to create a more inclusive and responsive healthcare service that meets the needs of all individuals in the UK.

FOOD MATTERS>>>>>>

The health benefits of Brussels Sprouts:

High in Nutrients: Brussels sprouts are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and potassium. These nutrients support a healthy immune system, bone health, and overall wellbeing.
Rich in Fibre: They are an excellent source of dietary fibre, which aids digestion, promotes satiety, and helps maintain a healthy weight.
Antioxidant Powerhouse: Brussels sprouts are loaded with antioxidants that protect the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals. These antioxidants help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and certain types of cancer.
Anti-inflammatory Properties: The compounds found in Brussels sprouts have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce inflammation in the body and potentially lower the risk of chronic diseases.
Blood Sugar Control: The fibre and low glycemic index of Brussels sprouts make them beneficial for managing blood sugar levels, making them a great addition to a diabetic-friendly diet.
Support Bone Health: Brussels sprouts contain vitamin K, which is essential for bone health and plays a role in calcium absorption and utilization.
Aid in Detoxification: The sulphur-containing compounds in Brussels sprouts support the body's detoxification process and help eliminate harmful substances.

By incorporating Brussels sprouts into your diet, you can enjoy their delicious taste while reaping their numerous health benefits.

Recipe: Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound Brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any outer yellow leaves. Cut them in half.
In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Place the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly browned.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the balsamic vinegar over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in honey if desired.
Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, drizzle the balsamic glaze over them and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle with chopped walnuts (optional) for added crunch and serve hot - ENJOY!
