RNIB - Health and Wellbeing

Following on from the last check in with Glasgow based Pharmacist Elizabeth Roddick which was all about diets and salt this time we are finding out more about the Mediterranean diet which seems to be recommended quite a lot.
Elizabeth began by explaining to RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey about the benefits of the Mediterranean diet and why processed foods are not recommended as part of a healthy diet. 
Elizabeth ended by talking about her recent holiday in Sardinia and some of the reasons why many of the people who live there do seem to live long and healthy lives.
To get in touch with Elizabeth you can email info@elizabethroddick.com or for more information visit - https://elizabethroddick.com

Each November, Men's Health Awareness Month draws attention to the physical and mental health challenges affecting men across the UK.
On the Happy Hour this week we're joined by Mark from Beyond Limits Life Coach to discuss the challenges men face when it comes to finding community, speaking up, and breaking away from stereotypes. 
Image shows Mark smiling. He's wearing a lime green t-shirt and rests his left hand against his temple as he looks off to the side.

Let’s join Paulina in the kitchen again, and this time, she's trying a cosy and warming soup recipe.

Yoga teacher Dawn Blezard returns to the Happy Hour for another Off The Matt chat.
This month, her and Paulina discuss how comparison is the thief of joy and how we can overcome feelings of jealousy in this modern age where we're constantly confronted with a highlight reel of other people's life.
You can find out more about Dawn by searching for "Pathway Yoga with Dawn" on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube. Dawn also has a podcast: Seeing Within Podcast. 
Image shows a birds eye view photo shows Dawn holding a pose on her black yoga matt. Her legs are crossed and she holds onto her toes on either side of her body as she looks up at the camera. She has blonde hair set in two French braids and is wearing a lilac long sleeve top with patterned leggings. The yoga matt is black with high contract purple alignment lines, which are designed to help align your body and improve posture during yoga poses.

Joining Paulina on the Happy Hour is Shoaib Nazir club secretary for the Greater Manchester Gladiators Blind Baseball Club.
Shoaib shares how he discovered blind baseball, how he was inspired to start a club in his local area and how the sport not only supports physical wellbeing but also helps create a sense of community and build confidence.
