Welcome – August 2022

The younger generation is under huge pressure these days, both mentally and physically. Not only are children known to have expanding waistlines, with data showing more youngsters than ever before are overweight or obese. Add in the fact that nutritional knowledge is known to be lacking, while in the last three years, the likelihood of young people having a mental health problem has increased by 50 per cent.

We know too that the pandemic has likely exacerbated these concerns, making it so important that parents not only educate themselves on the key nutritional foundations for children, but also ensure their young ones have a healthy approach when it comes to their own diet and lifestyle.

And so, we turn the focus on children’s health in this issue of Natural Lifestyle, where we have assembled a panel of experts to discuss all things children’s health – turn to page 14 for all the advice you need.

Also in this issue, we offer advice on how you can holistically manage pain, learning to spot the triggers in your life, and we also bring you a collection of healthy recipes with a focus on the benefits of plants with dishes from The Kew Gardens Cookbook. And don’t forget that we also give back with our selection of natural health and beauty giveaways – you can find out more on page 27.

Finally, we are delighted to announce that voting for the Natural Lifestyle Retailer of the Year Awards is now open and we invite all our readers to nominate their favourite store. All you need to do is visit www.mynaturallifestyle.co.uk, where you can cast your vote. The entries will then be whittled down to a shortlist, which will be judged later this year when myself and our panel visit the stores. We thank you in advance of nominating and are excited to be giving our wonderful network of independent health food stores the praise and recognition they deserve.
