Health and Wellbeing Men!......This affects you!

oo many men are dying prematurely with just 66% reaching the age of 75. They are more likely than women to die from heart disease, cancer and suicide, to be overweight, to smoke and to drink alcohol excessively, but less likely to use health services effectively or to take part in self-help programmes. One of the biggest boosts would be to have someone to confide in about physical and emotional problems. However, men tend not to talk about such issues the way women do, nor readily take advice. Manchester Royal Infirmary discovered male patients that had suffered a heart attack were less likely to suffer further attacks if they had the support of friends, a partner or relatives. Nowadays men are under even more pressure from financial and work stresses. It is so tempting to eat and drink more alcohol to temporarily ease this stress. Whilst chatting with mates in the pub can be helpful, staying below 3/4 units a day is important. Death rates in men aged 45 to 54 years from liver cirrhosis has risen fourfold in the last 30 years. Overweight men are more at risk from serious diseases than women because they store fat around their middle rather than on their hips and thighs. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce the risks of diabetes, osteoporosis and heart disease. It also helps to relieve stress, as do B-complex vitamins, but sugary foods,

strong coffee and other caffeinated drinks will make it worse. Maintaining prostate health, the gland found beneath the bladder, is vital. It can enlarge with age and cause difficulties while passing urine. If problems occur, visit your GP to rule out prostate cancer, the leading cause of cancer in men. Most often, the excessive growth of prostate tissue is not harmful, but may need treatment. Lycopene, an antioxidant found mainly in tomatoes, has been shown to reduce the risk of prostate cancer and protect against heart disease and osteoporosis. Try tomato juice, soup, sauces and use tomato puree in cooking, or add to a sandwich mix. The minerals selenium and zinc, found in brazil nuts, eggs, fish, lean meat, also offer protection. The herb, Saw Palmetto, is known to be beneficial, or Sabal Serrulata, its homeopathic equivalent. Testicular cancer, the most common cancer affecting young men, can be cured easily if picked up early from self-examination. As this is Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s month, find time to share any concerns you have with family or friends. Check out the Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Forum website which is calling for action to tackle menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental health problems, get more men physically active, address high cancer rates, improve the use of health services and involve more workplaces in their health and wellbeing.

Sclerotherapy for Thread Veins

hread veins on the legs are very common affecting over 60% of the female population. They vary in size from the very fine red lines that can only be seen clearly using a magnifying lens through to dark purple networks of veins, difficult to conceal even with the highest denier stocking. A great deal of thread vein development is oestrogen driven thus explaining the fact that women suffer from these veins much more than men. Those that have been pregnant are much more prone to this development, partly due to the high oestrogen levels that circulate at the time, but also due to the weight of the baby increasing pressure in the venous system of the leg. They can also be hereditary. Occupations involving standing for long periods of time such as hairdressers and school teachers will increase susceptibility. Many ladies also develop thread veins at the site of injury, as damage to the tissue and the formation of a bruise seems

to predispose the future thread vein development. Sclerotherapy is a fine injection technique, which involves the introduction of a small quantity of sclerosing agent into the veins itself. The tip of a very fine needle is introduced just under the skin and the agent injected into the vein producing what is called the flush. The sclerosing agent irritates the lining of the vein damaging the vessel wall. Blood does not flow through damaged vessels and therefore tends to clot inside the vessel. With the vein now rendered useless and clogged with blood the body recognises it as being damaged and starts to destroy it reabsorbing the material by way of the immune system. Several sessions may be necessary so the winter months are a good time to consider starting treatment ensuring you have vein free legs for the summer.

Care Fee Costs

his month Martin Fallows from Shacklocks, a member of Solicitors for the Elderly, looks at the threat of future care fees costs.

With an estimated 70,000 homes sold every year in order to pay for care or nursing home fees, one of our biggest areas of enquiry at the moment is coming from the elderly and their families asking what steps they should be taking in order to prevent this problem affecting them. As this remains a highly important topic for many local families, I thought I would share with you the ways in which I and my team at Shacklocks have been able to assist so many local families over the years and how we might give support to you and your loved ones. Clients will see us to ask us to make their wills and we will discuss who, for example, is to inherit the house. That is a proper discussion to have, of course, but logically why would anyone assume they will still own their property at the time of their death when

the house may have had to be sold before then in order to pay for their care? We therefore see it as vital to keep in mind the possible future threats to assets in every aspect of future planning. One of the changes made every year is when the Government sets the limit for the amount of capital you can hold before being required to pay for your own care. This is currently £23,250 and is likely to mean that anyone owning or part-owning a property will need to pay for their own care unless they have been successful in some form of forward planning of their affairs. For most people there is something we can do to improve upon their current situation and strengthen the protection of their assets. This can typically involve safeguarding all or part of the family home or savings and investments. The key is to see us whilst your health is still relatively good and where care is not yet on the agenda. To discuss any of these issues in more detail or to arrange a free meeting with one of our specialists call us on 01623 626141.

Spring Clean Your Finances Are you worried about any of the following: • Need more income or more growth? • Concerned about protection of assets in the event of divorce or bankruptcy in the family in the future? • Existing investments too high in risk? • Concerned about your plans for retirement? • Unsure where to save or invest your money?

Dating Games

o-one to be your Valentine? Follow our tips and next year you’ll be the one who’s all loved up.

It may not seem like it at the time, but dating is definitely easier when you’re young. Hanging out in college coffee bars, nightclubs or the local roller rink, means lots of time to chat with members of the opposite sex and size up which one you fancy, while discussing his or her merits with your mates. Fast forward a few years and it all becomes a bit of a minefield. You can hang out by the water cooler at work of course, but it isn’t half as much fun as the roller rink and, let’s be honest, tends to attract the sad, the mad and those looking for an extra-marital liaison. So what is a guy or gal to do? How do you find a special someone when you’re in your thirties, or forties...or beyond? Well there’s internet dating of course, but this can be a bit of a minefield...a female friend of mine commented that it’s a bit like buying your groceries online, in that there’s always a chance you might not get exactly what’s advertised and ‘There’s nothing like actually being able to squeeze the fruit yourself!’ She’d recently been speed dating and really enjoyed it. ‘It was actually good fun,’ she insisted, when she saw doubt written large on my face, ‘Everyone knew why we were there. We were all single; between 28 and 45 and looking for a bit of romance with someone compatible.’ Did she find anyone? ‘Well I’ve been on a couple of dates with guys I met there. It’s early days,

but one of them is really nice and we’re going out again very soon.’ All very promising then, but what if you can’t face the prospect of a full on, no-frills meeta-thon. Are there any other ways you might meet Mr or Mrs Right? There are lots of singles clubs around. I’d always thought singles clubs were for sad, lonely souls, but not a bit of it. There are many clubs now dedicated to providing an interesting social life for those without partners. They often organise trips, talks and events for members who may or may not be looking for love, so they are great places to find new friends of both sexes and increase your confidence in a less pressured environment than a speed dating venue. Confidence is a key issue when looking to meet that ideal someone. No-one is attracted to someone needy. Foreign language classes are a great way to learn a new confidence-boosting skill, meet new people and you’re guaranteed to have something to talk about. If you feel as though your image could do with a boost, book a make-over at a local hair and beauty salon. Personal shoppers are not as expensive as you might think and can help give a fresh perspective on your style. Just remember, that whether you’re young or not quite so young, dating should be about having fun. Now go get ‘em tiger.

Browns Cafe Bistro and Bar For a restaurant that has only been open for 3 months, Browns Cafe Bistro and Bar in Berry Hill Mansfield is impressive. It is a modern restaurant with a lovely ambience situated in The Quarry area of Berry Hill. It seems that no expense has been spared in re fitting this ex chinese restaurant. It is owned by father and son team ? and Dan Brown. Dan has years of experience in designing restaurants for a national company and it shows. It has a chic, yet informal feel. Rich colours, vintage flock wallpaper and gold antique mirrors all set a stunning scene. His philosophy is a belief in creating a stunning venue, providing the finest foods made with special ingredients with the highest standard of service. All of this in a building which transforms at night time to become a cosy, intimate and stylish bar .We visited on a Monday night, and it was surprisingly busy for a restaurant that is in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;go toâ&#x20AC;? location. It is not a restaurant that you would pass by chance unless you lived close by, but as we would soon find out, well worth the trip. There were four of us eating this evening. We all decided to all try something different. As a starter I decided on the crab cakes, not an unusual choice for me, my wife chose the mussels, and our friends went

for the Prawn Cocktail and a leek and potato soup. All were excellent, there were certainly plenty of mussels, cooked with herbs and creme fraiche, the prawn cocktail was hot in a marie rose sauce, a clever twist on a classic dish, very tasty crab cakes, and a really nice leek and potato soup served with goats cheese and fresh herbs. It is worth pointing out that the menu is complimented by a thoughtful wine list, a good value cocktail menu, and also a good selection of beers. I was drawn to a fine pint of Hobgoblin. For the main course, we ordered braised lamb shoulder and couscous, which was excellent, very tender and flavoured with moroccan spice. A classic steak and chips; a 10oz steak served with hand cut chips and parsley butter which was most enjoyable, and 2 fish dishes from the specials board, grey mullet with courgettes and beetroot, and wild bass with savoy and jerusalem artichoke. I think this was the most moist fish I have ever tasted. Excellent. The chef here is John Boddice, and his passion is fish. He only buys the freshest available, and it finds its way onto the

specials board each evening. He prides himself in buying only the finest locally sourced ingredients to create a classy menu which changes with the seasons. Menus are available to view at www. browns-bars.co.uk. With the dessert menu there is always a decision to be made. Firstly, should we, because we really shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, but then of course, what to choose. We tried 4 different dishes; sherry trifle, chocolate indulgence, tarte au citron and browns brownies. All were very generous in size, a n d perfectly presented. As well as the evening m e n u , Browns is open from 9am for breakfast, followed by lunch and then afternoon tea, which is presented on a bone china three tier stand where delicate china plates are adorned with delicious finger sandwiches, homemade scones with strawberries, preserves and clotted cream, mouth watering homemade cakes / cupcakes, chocolates and fresh strawberries. All this accompanied with a pot of Northern Tea Merchants gourmet tea. The bar is open all day for drinks until midnight. Sunday lunches are also available for ÂŁ8.95. The restaurant will be expanding over the next few weeks, with the addition of a mezzanine and also an al fresco area for those warm sunny evenings. There is regular live music and jazz on sundays,

as well as special events throughout the year. Bookings are recommended for groups of six or more. Browns can be found at: Unit 5, Madeline Court, Berry Mansfield NG18 4XW www.browns-bars.co.uk Email: enquiries@browns-bar.co.uk Tel: (01623) 238186

Hill,

All in all our evening couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been better. The restaurant offers a fine dining experience without stuffiness and formality. Highly recommended.

Let’s Celebrate.....Chinese New Year

ith the festive season over, January and February look dull, grey and depressing. But there is something to look forward to: the Chinese New Year. Based on a combination of lunar and solar dates, the Chinese New Year falls on a different day each year, usually in January or February. This year the date to celebrate is 3rd February. Each year is allocated the name of one of twelve animals; rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and boar. 2011 is the Year of the Rabbit. The Chinese New Year is also symbolic of the end of winter and the start of spring, and many traditions and rituals surround the occasion. Fireworks have always been an integral part of the celebrations, with the belief that the noise scares away evil spirits and wakes the dragons who symbolise strength, integrity and good luck. This is the time for new beginnings. Out with the old and in with the new. Before New Year’s Eve all debts are paid off, houses are cleaned and any arguments resolved. Celebrations start on New Year’s Eve with a family dinner and everyone pays homage to their ancestors and household gods. All windows and doors are opened at midnight to let go of the old year and to bring the new one in.

Chinese also exchange gifts and give children two small red envelopes containing crisp, new ‘lucky money’. Happiness is said to come in twos, so gifts are given in pairs. Brand new clothes and shoes are also worn on New Year’s Day; again to symbolise a new start. Food is extremely important at this time of year and each dish is highly symbolic. Chicken or duck represent family togetherness and are therefore served whole. Fish symbolises a wish for abundance in the coming year. Again, it is served whole because this encourages a happy end to the year as well as a successful start. Noodles stand for a long life and shouldn’t be cut. Desserts include Sticky Rice Cake, because their sweetness suggests a sweet life and their circular shape epitomizes family reunions. Chinese New Year can be seen as a time to start with a blank slate, so if your New Year’s resolutions have been broken already, here’s another chance to try again. Prepare for this occasion by thinking of the changes you want to make in your life. Book a table at your favourite Chinese restaurant, or order a take-away, invite your friends and family around and shout Gung hei fat choi! Suki North

The celebrations last over two weeks. Homes are decorated with red and gold paper decorations which represent wealth and happiness. Orange fruits of all kinds symbolise good health, long life happiness and wealth. Tangerines and oranges are particularly favoured because the words for them sound similar to luck and wealth.

Greenhouses

o you have a greenhouse? February is the perfect time to think about installing one so you can get a jump on the growing

The ability to shut the door on nasty weather makes pootling about and checking how things are coming on a much more pleasant experience. If your greenhouse has a power point you can have heat and light at your fingertips too, allowing you more time to potter. Don’t think it has to be huge and unsightly. There are so many styles available now, from the traditional cedar-framed variety to pretty bijou Victorian constructions. You could even go a bit sci-fi with a geodesic dome! As well as providing the perfect environment to start off early seedlings, a greenhouse means you can extend your growing season for fruit and vegetables. Don’t limit yourself to tomatoes. If you choose your varieties carefully you can try strawberries, peppers, aubergines, peaches, nectarines and grapes. Choosing the right site is important. Make sure that the ground is level. Your greenhouse should receive the maximum amount of winter sunlight available. Be sure to consider any shadows cast by existing buildings and trees, including those trees which are not fully grown yet. The most important time for sun to reach a greenhouse is during the spring and autumn when the sun is low in the sky. Greenhouses are all about temperature. Obviously they are a place of warmth, but they shouldn’t be too warm. It’s easy to cook your plants even in a British summer. Place a thermometer in the shade near the middle of your greenhouse and monitor the temperature at different times during sunny and cloudy weather. Most plants thrive best

26 26

around 15-21C. If the temperature regularly reaches 26C or higher, you will need to ventilate. The simplest and cheapest way to ventilate is to open the door and roof vents in the morning and close them in the evening, but ventilation systems can be fitted which are automatically triggered as the temperature rises. Greenhouses do require some maintenance. If you already own one, then February is a good time to give it a clean. Disinfect the entire greenhouse-with a brush and a mixture of diluted bleach, keeping it away from the plants. Open up any vents to let the fumes out. Scrub down all the walls and floor, then rinse with clean water. Throughout the growing season spray the walls and corners with a hose set on the jet nozzle. This helps keep spider mites and whiteflies to a minimum. A greenhouse can be a wonderful addition to a garden. Well designed, well stocked and well arranged it can be a thing of beauty too.
