Livewell

This Men's Health Week, we're celebrating the men who have recently quit smoking with support from Livewell. 👏

💬 "I'm now saving the money I would have spent on ci******es for a new bass guitar. For anyone contemplating quitting this year, do it – it's never too late."

💬 "I have more energy and surprisingly, I’m less irritable. I once feared quitting would make me short-tempered, but it turns out it was the ni****ne addiction causing my irritability."

These are just a few of the many men across Derby who have taken the step to become smokefree and are already experiencing the benefits. 🌟

Quitting is not just about willpower. Men across Derby are proving that, with the right support, it is possible to stop smoking – even after many years. 💪

📢 Men’s Health Week 💙

This week is Men’s Health Week, a time to raise awareness of the health challenges faced by men and encourage positive steps towards better physical and mental wellbeing.

💪 Small changes can make a big difference:
✅ Be active
✅ Eat well
✅ Get enough sleep
✅ Connect with others
✅ Take time to look after your mental health
✅ Attend health checks and seek support when needed

Looking after your health isn't just about treating illness - it's about staying well, feeling your best, and reaching out when you need support. 💙

We're rounding off with simple tips to make salads exciting, filling & last for days🥗

Fight hunger 💪
• Make grains or pulses (like beans and lentils) the base of your salad: we like couscous, bulgur wheat and chickpeas. 🍚🧆
• Add nuts and seeds: Aldi have a selection of cheap and tasty salad toppers! 🌰🌻

Make it once, eat it all week 🧺⏱️
• To keep your salad fresh, use vegetables that stay crunchy and won’t brown: think carrot, peppers, celery & radish 🥕🫑🌿
• Swap soft greens for stronger leaves like cabbage 🥬, scoop out the centre of your cucumber 🥒, and keep your cherry tomatoes whole 🍅.
• Keep your dressing & nuts/seeds separate, then pour it on your portion when you’re ready to eat. 🥄

An exciting salad? ✨
• A bit of sweetness keeps your palate interested: we love dates, grapes, and pomegranate seeds. 🍇🌴🔴
• Make a salad dressing that you love: they’re healthier and tastier than shop bought dressings and you can adjust it to your own taste. 🫙❤️
