🩷 Wellness Wednesday -Eating to support menopause
🩷Are you getting enough calcium & vitamin D?
🩷declining oestrogen around menopause accelerates bone loss, which can leave you more susceptible to injury.

🩷 Good sources of nutrition for healthy bones & muscles

*🥛 Calcium – milk, yoghurt, cheese, fortified alternatives, leafy greens
* ☀️ Vitamin D – important for calcium absorption and bone health
* 🥚 Protein – helps maintain muscle and supports recovery
* 🐟 Omega-3 fats – oily fish such as salmon, sardines and mackerel
* 💧 Hydration – particularly useful when you’re experiencing hot flushes/sweating

🧡 Strength training becomes especially valuable for women from around 40 onwards because we naturally begin to lose muscle mass and bone density as we age, with changes often accelerating around menopause.

🧡Maintains & builds muscle helping counter age related muscle loss.
🧡Supports stronger bones , resistance exercise puts healthy stress through bones, encouraging them to maintain strength and density.
🧡Improves everyday strength – lifting, carrying, climbing stairs and staying independent as we age.
🧡Supports balance & stability – stronger muscles can help reduce the risk of falls.
🧡Supports joints , strengthening the muscles around joints helps them cope with everyday loads.
🧡Helps maintain body composition preserving muscle helps support metabolism as we get older.
🧡Long term investment – strength training isn’t just about how you look, it’s about staying strong, capable and resilient for later life.

💛SUCCESS SATURDAY 💛

💪Success Saturday isn’t always about races, PBs or medals.

💛Chris is one of my regular clients and comes to see me for deep tissue massage and hot stones, helping her manage everyday aches and pains, particularly around her hips, and supporting her general health and wellbeing.

💛She keeps herself busy with Pilates, gardening and working part-time in retirement and our treatments usually include putting the world to rights, both personally and globally! 😂💛

💛Our next little challenge is getting Chris walking more, as I’m encouraging her to take on part of the Portuguese Coastal Camino next year. 🇵🇹🥾

💛For me, this is what regular treatment is also about supporting people to keep moving, stay active, feel good follow dreams and continue doing the things they enjoy.

💛Not every success needs a finish line. Sometimes it’s simply investing in yourself and your wellbeing. 💛

Go Chris! 💪💛 need a treatment- why not book in .. https://bec-rehab.uk1.cliniko.com/bookings?
