Welcome – Spring 2024
We’ve all been there when energy levels dwindle, when we go through periods of waking up in the morning and feel less than refreshed, or feeling like we need to reach for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up of the sugary or caffeinated variety. These can all be common signs that our energy levels need some attention, and can indicate you need to make some changes to your daily routine.
But before you start to think this means a radical overhaul of what you eat and drink, and how you live your life, it doesn’t. Some simple, yet consistent changes can all add up to a lot, and it’s so important that we take stock of our lifestyle and identify any issues that could be contributing to low energy – for example, do you eat a lot of sugar that could be sending your blood sugar on a rollercoaster that eventually leads to a crash, or is your sleep needing some work? Or perhaps you are feeling stressed and simply zapped of energy.
The good news is there is so much you can do to restore your energy and in turn, support your health and wellbeing, and we have all the expert advice you need on page 24. We would always preface any advice with recommending if you have prolonged low energy, coupled with any other symptoms, or are simply worried about feeling fatigued, to speak to your GP first.
Elsewhere in this issue, we also turn the focus onto seasonal woes in the form of hay fever. With the season now upon us, it’s imperative you prep your health if you know that you suffer. This can mean the difference between suffering uncomfortable symptoms for weeks on end or not. All the advice can be found on page 16.
And finally, we are delighted to be announcing the results of the Natural Lifestyle Product Awards. Designed to shine a light on all those wonderful natural health products that make a difference to the lives of you and your family, you can read about the winners on page 14 – we would like to congratulate all our winners and thank you for voting.
