Top energy tips from Evergreen

Thu, Jul 23, 2020

Rise and shine
We should ideally wake in the morning feeling well rested after a good quality sleep. It is important to start your day by refuelling your body – it likely has been up to 12 hours since your last square meal. Porridge is an old reliable, but oats don’t agree with everyone; consider an alternate grain such as Evergreen millet flakes, or have pre-made energy balls if you find yourself in a rush most mornings. Linwood’s offers a range of milled goodness that can be added to anything at breakfast time. Grabbing that hot cup of coffee is very tempting, maybe consider swapping this out for a cup of Koyu matcha tea, which provides a caffeine boost but alongside multiple other health benefits and is excellent at promoting focus.

Four things elite athletes do to stay healthy — and you should too

Thu, Jul 16, 2020

I wrote this article a good few years ago from an Irish athletic camp in the Pyrenees mountains. There was a mix of elite senior athletes and some younger athletes trying to get the benefit of altitude. I had the pleasure of doing the physio for these athletes and get some training done myself. Win win! Here is the article:

Talking to and seeing the very best guys here and comparing them to the up and comers, there are a few distinct differences which I think would benefit anyone for better health. The first thing I noticed is that although the very elite athletes train extremely hard (both quantity of sessions and the difficulty) they rarely get sick. I myself train 11 times per week and, touch wood, have not been sick in about five years. This is a similar pattern with athletes much better than myself and can be missing with athletes slightly below that 'elite' level.

Be easy on yourself while coming out of lockdown

Thu, Jul 09, 2020

The world is beginning to open up, there are cars on the roads, children in the park, the hustle and bustle is back. But where is our place in a new world order? There's so much information about how to behave and how to act, it can be hard to find what fits for us.

It can seem that everybody else is coming out of lockdown, meeting friends, smiling easily and taking everything in their stride, and maybe it doesn't feel like that for you. Perhaps you feel unsure about this new way of interacting. Do you embrace friends, Do you have to share a cuppa outside, or is having tea together inside OK? Can you stop and talk to people you meet in passing? Can you go on dates? Mask or no mask? Even though there are written guidelines, how do they apply to your life? Where does lockdown end and normal life begin?

According to clinical sports medicine, back pain is something that will affect up to 85 per cent of the Western population at some point in their lives. The vast majority of the time the back pain you experience would be classified as mechanical low back pain.

‘Studying with CNM is one of the greatest experiences you will ever have’

Thu, Jun 25, 2020

by Kelly Mulhall
I worked for many years in events and marketing which was very stressful. My diet was poor, I lived off ready meals, pastries, crisps, and coffee. I had suffered long term with IBS, eczema, and adult acne after coming off the pill for 15 years. I was run down and kept getting ill all the time. After countless trips to the GP and fruitless medical testing to get to the bottom of it all, I was so confused and upset as to why my body was completely out of sync. I had finally met my tipping point. From then on, I decided to start taking my health into my own hands and exploring ways to improve my symptoms.
