Dry January


Dry January

Writing this, as I am on New Year’s Eve, it seems a bit strange to be promoting Dry January when tonight will possibly be the biggest drinking night of the entire year!

But the truth is that when all the partying is done and those New Year resolutions are staring us in the face, many of us might be thinking about what we can do to clean up our act a bit for the coming year. 

There is no doubt that alcohol in moderation can be a boost to our health and to our mood and can help us enjoy social occasions by helping us relax.  But when drinking gets out of control we see lives and careers wrecked and a downward spiral that can see people ending up on the street or even dying as a result of their addiction to alcohol.  There have been many very high profile cases of people who could not get on top of their dependence on alcohol despite the fact that they had plenty of money to buy themselves the best treatment and detox available. George Best and more recently Gazza are cases in point but there are many millions more who suffer in silence and whose families suffer in silence as things go from bad to worse to disastrous. 

So now Dry January 2014 is almost here and you can sign up at the website that is featured below.  The organisers are very excited about this year’s campaign and hope you’ll sign up and take on the challenge. Their aim is to start a new conversation about alcohol. Your challenge is to go booze free for 31 days in January 2014. It’s your chance to lose weight, feel better, save money and make a difference. And don’t worry; the Dry January team will be with you every step of the way. With Xmas excess gone, banish the booze this January and make a healthy start to the New Year.
Dry January remind us that by taking on the challenge you’re sure to lose a few pounds while saving a few quid. And with no hangovers you’ll find time and energy you never knew you had, oh and your skin will look better too. And you could go into it with some friends and fund raise together while you give each other support. So go on, think about your drinking and prove to yourself that you can say no to a tipple or two.
The money you donate will help Alcohol Concern make a real difference and help raise awareness of the problem of alcohol misuse.

Beauty, In the Eye of the Beholder?


Beauty, In the Eye of the Beholder?

So there you were, in another life, reclining on a chaise lounge being painted in all your voluptuousness by Botticelli.  Or perhaps you live in the South seas where special teams of adoring tribes people are employed to massage your enormous stomach as more and more food was forced into you to make you the fattest, and in that time and place, the most beautiful, matriarch.

Definitely times change and our idea of what we find attractive changes with them.  Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell would be laughed at or pitied in Botticelli’s time.
In the 19th Century being beautiful meant wearing a corset despite these instruments of torture causing breathing and digestive problems. Nowadays we try to diet and exercise ourselves into the acceptable shape of our time often with even more serious health consequences.
TV and advertising across the board shows  'beautiful people' all the time, and especially as Christmas ramps up the pressure for us to fit into that perfect Christmas outfit. In reality however, the current media ideal of thinness for women could only be achieved by around 5% of the female population!
Apart from this 5% most women are trying to achieve the impossible: standards of female beauty have, in fact, become more and more unrealistic during the 20th century. In 1916, the perfect woman was about 5ft 5in tall and weighed almost 10 stone. Over the past 25 years the gap between top models and beauty queens and us mere mortals has gone from a weight difference of 8% to around a whopping 24%. Some of us will already be thinking about the strict diets we will be going on in the New Year.  But before you start stocking up on cabbage for after Christmas this year, try visiting your doctor first.  He or she will have some very good pointers for you to make sure your efforts in the New Year bring the results you want.

Sofrigam and Cold Storage Transportation.


Sofrigam

I recently had the pleasure of meeting the people from Sofrigam who are involved through their group, Coldshop, in the storage and transportation of medicines that have constant temperature requirements.  It made me think how much of what goes into medical treatment and medicines, that we take for granted.  

Specialising in temperature-controlled packaging Coldshop.com are the perfect partner for Sofrigam Group who have been developing and advising on cold chain packaging for the past twenty years. 

The transportation of medicines and other medical items for which a constancy of temperature is essential is a very daunting and challenging task, as is convincing authorities that the items transported have been kept at the optimal temperature for the duration of their voyage.  Any failure in this could lead to the consignment becoming unviable or even dangerous.

The advanced laboratory testing facilities and business know how of Sofrigam have carved them an enviable niche in this market with a well-deserved reputation for undisputed reliability.

The Sofribox is one of the products that is much in demand and that allows the storage of heat sensitive products at their required temperature for however long is required.  The thermal performance of the Sofribox comes with a guarantee that all products will keep their integrity during travel.  With an impressive temperature range of +2/+8 degrees C and at the other end of the scale -18 degrees C it’s one to one hundred litre capacity makes it a very popular choice.   There are options to suit every need with iceboxes, refrigerated pouches and gel packs.

These are just a few of the different transporting and cooling options available through this innovative company and a visit to their website coldshop.com is highly recommended. 

Perhaps next time we reach for one of those medicines that have to be kept refrigerated we might think about the bigger picture and the people who make the safe transport of the medicines and medical items, that improve countless number of lives, possible.  There will be a factory visit in the New Year and I will report back to you then on the way that the whole process is engineered, in more detail.

HIV/AIDS Awareness


HIV/AIDS Awareness
On the first day of this month it was World AIDS awareness day.  This is the day that promotes talking about HIV and the day that aims to get information about the disease out there.  When HIV first hit us there was talk of little else but due to the work that has gone on to help arrest the progress of the disease now it is not exposed to as much discussion.  By keeping the conversation going about HIV it is hoped to eradicate some of the secrecy that still surrounds it. Greater understanding about HIV and AIDS means less prejudice and better prevention.
HIV is a disease that attacks the body's immune system and affects the body’s ability to fight infection and disease.   AIDS develops when the immune system can no longer fight infections that it would normally be able to combat.
There are several misconceptions that tend to surround HIV. For example that only gay men contract the disease.  While more than 34,000 gay men do live with HIV in Britain, many sufferers are heterosexuals and one third of those are women.
What about the myth that there are no symptoms of the disease?  This is true for some people.  But others may develop symptoms that include a rash, fever or a very sore throat.
HIV is a sexually transmitted disease but can also be passed on through the sharing of equipment used for injecting drugs.  While there is no cure for the disease, treatments can help sufferers live active lifestyles, albeit with side effects.
World AIDS Day promotes safe sexual practices and discourages the sharing of injecting equipment for drugs. While spreading information about HIV and AIDS, is aimed at reducing the stigma for those who are living with HIV.
You can wear a red ribbon to symbolise support for the pro-active attempts to tackle the spread of this disease and to contribute to reducing discrimination.
If you do one thing in recognition of World AIDS Awareness then you can learn the facts about HIV and AIDS and also help educate friends and family to ditch the myths.   With 80,000 people in the UK living with HIV every day, and discrimination the biggest problem among non-sufferers, it is more vital than ever to raise awareness.

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month


Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

It's Childhood Cancer Awareness Month once more this December. Every year about 1500-1700 children are diagnosed with cancer and fifty per cent are under the age of five.

There can be nothing more devastating than being told that your child has cancer.  It is a word that strikes fear into most of us and even more so when it is our children that are affected.  The thought of them suffering and going through treatment that we know will make them feel very poorly is undoubtedly very scary.  That's why it's so important so draw attention to the reality of the statistics and what people can do to help.   If enough people fundraise then the better the chance is of raising money that will go towards funding for research.  Who knows?   Maybe one day some of that money you've donated will go towards a discovery that will really help young children recover from cancer.

The most common childhood cancers include lymphomas, leukaemia and brain cancer.   To find out more about the different conditions, visit the website for more information.  We should not forget that many parents have to be amazingly strong and it's difficult to keep a stiff upper lip when your child is suffering.  There is help to guide parents so that they do not dwell on the fact their child has a cruel condition, but instead focus on allowing their child to have as normal and happy a life as possible. 

One young man who recently succumbed to cancer really was a person who lived his life to the full!  When he wasn't studying hard at his education he was putting his all into acting or drawing!  Young people like that are a real example of how courageous children can be.   Follow the link to see what you can do to help children with cancer and organise your own event this Christmas time.   It is a time that means a lot to children so what better month of the year to remember those children who face the threat of cancer.

You could volunteer your services and take part in the Big Bucket Collection to help raise £100,000 for children and young people with cancer and their families to cope and to come through the other side -  and most of all to know that they are not alone.

Pancreatic Awareness Month


Pancreatic Awareness Month

This November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month.  You probably knew that Patrick Swayze died after he developed pancreatic cancer in 2009 and currently, in a very touching story line, Coronation Street’s Hayley Cropper is living with a diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer.  This disease is often a silent killer that is why more people need to know the signs and dangers.
For one thing how many people would know that pancreatic cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the UK?  But despite that, only 1% of research funding it spent on pancreatic cancer research specifically?  Pretty shocking, I am sure you will agree.  
So what are the warning signs?   Well over half of patients with pancreatic cancer already have jaundice when they first visit their doctor - which means yellow skin and yellowness also affecting the white parts of the eyes.  There might also be a lot of itching or a fever, or you might feel pain in your stomach and have noticed a sudden unexplained weight loss that might also be present.
So how can we help?   Maybe you know someone who has been affected by pancreatic cancer or perhaps you have the disease yourself. Maybe you just want to make a difference and to offer those with the condition some hope.  Well, for more information visit the Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month website. 
Why not organise your own Pancreatic Cancer Awareness event? It might be sports-related or be about something different altogether!  It's up to you and what you want to do.   Maybe you could get some people together and come up with ideas until you find a great option. You can even do some fundraising on line.  

For more information please follow the link on this article.

National Blog Posting Month


National Blog Posting Month

This month is National Blog Posting month and that is something we do a lot of here at UK Health Radio.  There are blogs everywhere these days; it almost seems sometimes that unless you have one - you are nobody!  If you were to pick any subject I bet there would be a blog being written about it somewhere.  Here on UK Health Radio we hope that the blogs that we publish will be of help to our audience and that they will give them inspiration and advice.  But there may be things that we are not covering that you wish we would.  A quick look at the past blogs on the site shows that a lot of you were very interested in the blog we did about exercise and what kind of exercise we need and how much of it is ideal for us.  Maybe you would like to hear more on that subject?  Or maybe you have a health related issue that you would like to raise and have us find out a bit more about.

If there is anything that you wish you could hear more about, just let us know.  We have been covering world awareness days and the blog-posting month must surely be one of the newest highlights on the awareness calendar, being as it is, very twenty first century. But there may be other issues that we have not shon a light on that you think need to be highlighted to fellow listeners and blog readers, so please do let us know what you are up to as you raise money for your particular charity or awareness campaign.  It is by sharing knowledge and experience that we all get a greater understanding of the world and the times that we live in.

This week I lost a neighbour. She died from cancer.   She died peacefully at home with her daughters on each side of her bed, scented candles burning, the room softly lit and smelling wonderful.  Her passing was peaceful and elegant, just as she had been in life, and although I was very sad to lose her I had to think about the wonderful life she had had and just as important, the wonderful and peaceful death that she had.   Death is a subject that we do not often like to talk about, but seeing her lying still and quiet in that lovely warm and candle lit room made me realise that death is nothing to fear and for that I will always be grateful to her.

So I have made use of this blog today to share some of my thoughts with you.  Now it’s your turn.  We would love to hear what you would love to hear!

World Diabetes Day 14 NOVEMBER 2013


World Diabetes Day
14 NOVEMBER 2013
We are all aware that diabetes is a menace that is spreading in our unfit and overeating society.  Well the 14th of November is World Diabetes Day and perhaps a good time for us all to stop and think about the disease that is becoming an epidemic in the developed countries of the world.   The International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organisation, in response to growing concerns about the escalating health threat that diabetes now poses, created world Diabetes Day in 1991. World Diabetes Day became an official United Nations Day in 2007 with the passage of United Nation Resolution 61/225. The campaign draws attention to issues of paramount importance to the diabetes world and keeps diabetes firmly in the public spotlight.
World Diabetes Day is a campaign that features a new theme chosen by the International Diabetes Federation each year to address issues facing the global diabetes community. While the themed campaigns last the whole year, the day itself is celebrated on November 14, to mark the birthday of Frederick Banting who, along with Charles Best, first conceived the idea that led to the discovery of insulin in 1922.
We all know that the answer to the problem is more activity and to lose weight so on this day of the year maybe it is time that we all, whether we have the disease or not, take stock of our lives and see how we can either prevent ourselves becoming one of the statistics or it we have already been diagnosed do everything we can to stop the condition developing further and giving rise to awful side effects like losing vision or even amputation.

Lung Cancer Awareness Month


Lung Cancer Awareness Month
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.  Lung cancer is, believe it or not, the most common cancer worldwide.  The disease claims more than 33,500 lives in the UK alone each year and with a shockingly short six months average time between diagnosis and death it is crucial that awareness of this cancer is raised.
Organisations such as The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation are working to raise awareness of this disease.  Awareness leads to a greater chance of early diagnosis.  The earlier the diagnosis, the better the chance there is of swift lung cancer treatment and the ability to beat the cancer.
So we all need to get clued up this Lung Cancer Awareness Month and on the lung cancer facts so that potentially we can help save the life of someone we know and love.  If you have known the devastation of lung cancer I know that if you could personally eliminate it you would. However, this requires cancer research and that needs fundraising to raise awareness for the cause.  So help your family and friends realise that smoking, passive smoking and exposure to certain chemicals are risk factors that need to be eliminated or reduced.
How can we do this?  Staying active is the main way!  Going to the gym, dancing, or doing a sport you enjoy will help strengthen your muscles. This will expand your lungs and allow them to pump blood around your body more efficiently!
You should also stay away from smoking, keep your rooms well ventilated and get any persistent coughs that might arise checked with your doctor.
When fundraising, the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation try to keep the 'fun' in it.   So, organise a cake sale or a charity race night that people can enjoy.   You can also choose to dedicate a light  to someone you will miss either on a special date, at Christmas or any time and make a donation to the cause in the process.

Mouth Cancer Action Month


Mouth Cancer Action Month
Good news from the British Dental Association for the Mouth Cancer Action Month which although this cancer is a particularly bleak and very serious subject, the Association say that spotting the disease early can increase chances of survival to more than 90%!
So you might wonder what mouth cancer looks like?  While it is sometimes difficult to spot because there aren't any signs for some of the cancers, others show early signs like bleeding in the mouth, red or white patches, and constant soreness might also be an indication.
What causes this cancer? Well the causes of mouth cancer aren't always fully understood by doctors, but they do know that factors like smoking and drinking increase the risk of developing it.   If you are drinking and smoking at the same time, the liquid from the alcohol will allow the tobacco to be absorbed faster into your system and this dual consumption means you may be thirty times more likely to develop mouth cancer.
Aside from avoiding drink and smoking, a healthy diet will also help decrease your chances of mouth cancer.  Specifically, trying to eat your five a day … and even six a day if you can! Having fish and eggs in your diet is also said to be beneficial.
And then there is lip cancer.  SPF lip balms are a great idea because they’ll help protect you from the danger of the sun’s rays. For more information about mouth cancer risk factors there will be a link on the blog. 
So in the great tradition of UK Health Radio listeners, how are we going to support Mouth Cancer Action Month in November?  Well you could get involved in the Blue Ribbon Badge Appeal.   Every ribbon will be a £1 donation, and the more people buy them, the bigger and better the impact.
Dentists and healthcare professionals should also be ready to teach people about the disease and the press should report the facts so people are more aware of them.  The British Dental Association recognise that they may be the first professionals to realise that there is a problem with a patient’s mouth, and they are ready to take up the challenge.

World Psoriasis Day



World Psoriasis Day

On 29 October 2013 it's World Psoriasis Day. I have a close relative who sufferers from this problem and it can be very depressing and very difficult. 
It is thought around 3% of the world's population suffer from this condition, and there is no cure.  In fact it is a life-long disorder that often leaves red marks on the skin that can become cracked and bleed. On World Psoriasis Day, the aim is to make everyone more aware of the condition and to address some of the misconceptions that surround the condition.   People think they can catch it from a sufferer whereas in fact psoriasis is not contagious.  The day also aims to spread information to people who may have been suffering in silence embarrassed by their condition and feeling very isolated as a result.
There will be events held across the globe to mark the day and to raise money for World Psoriasis Day.  In the past some of the events have included roller-skating exhibitions in Paris, concerts in Spain and even street walks in Kenya!
If you suffer from the condition or if you know someone that does maybe you would like to lend your support.  Perhaps you want to organise an event of your own or maybe you would like to make a donation.  You can find out everything you need to know at the World Psoriasis Day official website.  You will be able to help raise awareness and dispel myths and misconceptions that often accompany this common and unpleasant condition.

Dyslexia Awareness Week


Dyslexia Awareness Week
14th to 20th October
It is a condition that is often misunderstood.  This week is Dyslexia Awareness Week and you might be wondering what exactly is dyslexia? Well the symptoms will differ depending on whether the sufferer is a child or younger adult - or an undiagnosed adult.
It's especially important to spot dyslexia early ideally when a child is in school.  The British Dyslexia Association explains that children with dyslexia tend to mix up words - which might mean saying something like 'beddy tear' instead of teddy bear.  They may have trouble saying long words and learning the alphabet could also prove to be a problem.
Other signs involve issues with learning letters, names and with the sounds of words and letters. This means the phonological awareness is poor and they might not be able to answer a question like: 'What word would you get if you changed the 'p' sound in 'pat' to an 'h' sound?
The signs in young adults and adults are less easy to spot. They might write more slowly and have problems expressing their knowledge on a subject. If someone is experiencing real difficulty with spelling or finds themself trying to hide their work from others this is quite an obvious flag that something is going on.
The theme for Dyslexia Awareness week will be on the website to give you some scope for what you personally want to focus on during this week.
You can also get involved by fundraising for the organisation. Need some suggestions for getting started?  The British Dyslexia Association will give some good ideas for fund raising. A car boot sale is a great one!   There is a good chance that all of us know someone who sufferers from this condition that can be very difficult and cause a sufferer a lot of embarrassment and difficulty.   It is nice that there is a week for shining the light on this condition.

Why Are Men Still Not Getting The Health Message?


Why Are Men Still Not Getting The Health Message?


One of the country’s most loved comedians Bob Monkhouse died ten years ago from prostate cancer.   Following his death a ground breaking TV commercial was aired featuring the deceased comic attempting to give older men the message of what they needed to look out for as the early warning signs of prostate cancer. 

A new study however has shown that there are still millions of men over 50 who do not know the signs to look out for with the prevalent and insidious disease of prostate cancer.  But according to the study, this area of health is just the tip of the iceberg.   It is very likely that men in the over 50 age group will know far less than their female counterparts about many diseases like bowel cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer and many other diseases and conditions.  As well as this ignorance of medical matters men who are over fifty are likely to be less than eager to eat their fruit and vegetables five a day quota.  They are also more likely to put off going to the doctor but are more likely than a woman to cave into pressure from their partner and make that visit to the surgery. 

The study that was conducted amongst twelve thousand men over fifty, found that most had to be bullied by their wives or partners to get them to take care of themselves or to seek medical advice when it was needed.   They knew far less about health in general and disease symptoms in particular and were more likely than younger men and their female partners to give exercise a miss. 

The fact that a lot of men are ignorant of what is the best way of life for them and the best way to look after themselves is a worry.  However, more of a worry is that they do not seem to know what symptoms to look out for that should set alarm bells ringing and have them beating a path to their doctors door.   It is difficult to know what else could be done to raise awareness given that there has been a concerted public campaign to educate men on the dangers of undiagnosed prostate cancer.

In the year of the tenth anniversary of Bob Monkhouse’s death perhaps the message might now at last get through.
