Ramadan is a holy month that is observed by many people around the world. It involves fasting from dawn until dusk, which means no food or water during that time.
Certain groups of people are recommended not to fast, including, pregnant or breast feeding ladies, frail and elderly and certain chronic medical conditions. If you are unsure of your health eligibility to fast please discuss it with your local doctor. 😊

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It kick starts your metabolism after the overnight fast and replaces your energy stores to help get you going for the day ahead.
I like starting my day with a healthy bowl of porridge. 🥣 Oats are packed with nutrients, from iron to folate and are high in fiber which means they’ll keep me full until lunchtime, helping to avoid that mid morning slump.

‘I don’t have time for exercise’ 🏋️♀️ Is something I hear all the time but what about a short walk around the block. Or, if it’s safe, parking further away from work?
These small changes can make a big difference to your life and help get you fit for summer.
I keep badminton rackets and a football in my car and stop off at a park on the way home to play. Not only does it help get my heart pumping but it’s a great way to de-stress after a long day at work.
Remember to always seek the advice of your medical doctor before going on any exercise plans. As always, if you have any questions feel free to pop by and see me in clinic.
Glad to be back at work to see my lovely patients.
How do you start your day?
Before getting to work I make sure I do some exercise in the morning, from a simple jog around the block to gentle weight training followed by brekkie. That way I know I’ve started my day right!
