Three ways to reduce your plastic consumption

Three ways to reduce your plastic consumption

Scientist are developing plastic eating bacteria to reduce the decomposition time of plastic from hundreds of years to mere days. But in the meantime, we can all do our bit to lessen the weight of plastic our planet has to endure. How?

1. Avoid plastic water bottles. Invest in a reusable water bottle – tap water is cleaner than bottled water anyway.

2. Shop in bulk to reduce packaging and refuse to take the items wrapped in plastic home from the supermarket. Leave them at the checkout for the supermarket to deal with.

3. Embrace baking soda and vinegar – they are your new cleaning products.

Three money saving tips

Three money saving tips

 

If you are wondering how to stretch your salary that little bit further, without making too drastic a change to your lifestyle, these money saving tips aren’t just easy, they’re sustainable too.

 

1. Drink tap water. A. It’s free. And B. If the sensationalist headlines of 2015 are anything to go by, tap water is safer than bottled water.

 

2. Stick to the shopping list. If you are a marketer’s dream, easily swayed by the tasty looking stands that supermarkets conveniently place in their entrance, you are doomed.

 

3. Cook from scratch. This isn’t just cheaper per meal, but it is also healthier for you as you control what does or doesn’t go in.

Sex hormones – a quick guide

Sex hormones – a quick guide

Our hormones govern nearly every part of our body and being.

We all (men and women) have the sex hormones oestrogen, testosterone and progesterone as they are essential to our bodies.

Oestrogen.

The female hormone. Instrumental to fertility as well as preventing bone loss and maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.

Progesterone.

The second female hormone. Balances out oestrogen levels, essential to reproduction. Also helps the body use fat for energy, reduces bloating and anxiety levels.

Testosterone.

The male hormone. Linked to aggression and sexual drive. Also plays a general role in building muscle tone, increasing energy levels and maintaining a healthy libido.

On Suicide Prevention Day…

On Suicide Prevention Day…

Let’s create awareness and commitment to support anybody suffering in silence.

  • In the last year there were over six thousand suicides in the UK
  • Men remain three times more likely to commit suicide than women
  • The highest suicide rate is men aged 45-49

Don’t suffer alone…

If you are having suicidal thoughts or feel like you want to hurt yourself, try to reach out and tell someone how you feel.

You don’t have to suffer in silence, there are many people who want to listen to you and help.

Talk to your family or friends

 

Try to let someone close to you know how you’re feeling… they might be able to help and at the very least, they can listen.

There are lots of people you can call…

 

These people are ready and waiting to talk to you and offer help and support to keep you safe.

Samaritans – 116 123                                     CALM (for men) – 0800 58 58 58

Papyrus (under 35) – 0800 068 41 41            Childline (19 and under) – 0800 1111

The Silver Line (older people) – 0800 4 70 80 90

 

If you don’t want to phone a helpline, there are other people you can trust to call and speak to.

Call your GP – If you ask for an emergency appointment, you can talk to your GP about how you’re feeling and they can help to advise and support you.

Call 111 – This will get you through to someone who can help find the right support for you.

 

If you feel suicidal today…

 

  • Try to reach out to someone you know now
  • Make a call to someone who can help and support you
  • Think smaller and focus on just today and feeling better right now instead of thinking about the future
  • Get yourself to somewhere you feel safe, like a friend or family members house and be around people who you trust
  • Stay away from drugs and alcohol as they are likely to make you feel worse

If you’re worried about someone you know having suicidal thoughts…

 

  • Try to encourage them to talk to you. Don’t worry about having answers for them, simply listen to them and support them
  • Make sure someone stays with them and let them know that you care about them and that they’re not alone
  • Avoid telling them to “cheer up” or “be grateful” for things they have, instead listen to how they feel and why and try to get them to offer more details so you can understand better
  • Try to encourage them to seek professional help where you can both receive support

If you are thinking about hurting yourself or worried about someone you know, reach out to someone who can help support and offer advice.

 

You won’t always feel this way. Try to talk to someone about how you’re feeling today.
