Pelvic Floor Health Pelvic floor health for women is an essential consideration at every stage of life. It is a hammock of muscles at the base of the pelvis supporting your internal organs.

When your body is changing such as in puberty, pregnancy or Menopause please consider the following when using the toilet: Urination Aim to urinate every 3-4 hours or 5-7 times in a day Aim NOT to go “Just in case” as this will not encourage the muscle to be strong and active.

When urinating count “1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi … up to 8 Mississippi “ for a natural flow to occur

Bowel movement should happen at least once a day.

If you have less than 3 bowel movements in a week and more than 3 a day this is abnormal.

Sit on the toilet do not ‘hover’ over it to empty the bowels.

It is ideal to have your knees above your hips when emptying the bowel.

Try placing your feet on a stool when you are emptying your bowels.

When you have finished, engage the muscles of the bowel by thinking you are holding in gas in your back passage.

It is important that we actively engage the muscle of the bladder and the bowel to help build up strength. During the day also practice engaging the muscle around the bladder, bowel and vagina separately.

Fitness Her way

Ensure you SIT on the toilet instead of ‘hovering’ to release the muscle During urination it is vital that you naturally allow urine to flow with NO downward pressure being placed on the pelvic floor muscles. Do not strain.

Go to the toilet when the bladder is full to encourage the muscle to be strong.

Engage the pelvic floor at the end of the flow of urination, by pulling up the muscle around the bladder and releasing.

Emptying your bowels Constipation can occur when hormones are in flux. Some may experience constipation once a month just before a period.

Houseplants Go Home Most houseplants need to be just that, plants in houses, but come the summer it usually gives them a real boost to get the higher natural light levels, refreshing (relatively warm) rainfall and seriously fresh air. But now that September is here it is time to bring them indoors – colder nights will cause damage, especially to some of the more tender varieties.

Before bringing them in, check your plants over. Use a sharp pair of scissors to remove dead, damaged or dying leaves, cutting back neatly into clean, healthy growth. Next inspect the stems, foliage and any flowers for pests and diseases - it always pays to bring houseplants in totally clean. Look out for white powdery mildew deposits, often accompanied by a bit of leaf yellowing, and check for greyish fuzzy fungal patches caused by the notorious Botrytis or grey mould.

Also look for pests like scale insects - tiny brownish elliptical insects which feed beneath leaves or on soft stems, often producing copious quantities of sticky, sugary honeydew

- or aphids, which may be found clustered on the more tender, newer growth. These must be dealt with before the plants go indoors, as once inside the pests will flourish in the warmer, more protected conditions, and will soon multiply and may even spread. Most problems like these, if caught early, can be dealt with by using scissors or secateurs to snip off infected areas, or by some careful picking off by hand. If you find scale insects, aphids or fluffy patches of mealy bug, there is a brilliant environmentally-friendly biocontrol that is also safe for you and your pets. For more information, visit www. pippagreenwood.com/products/protect-yourcrops.

Next, inspect the pots, including the surface of the compost and beneath the base and rim of the pot itself. If you can, and as long as the plant won’t be damaged in the process, gently ease it out of its pot and check the root ball - this is the perfect place for stowaways like vine weevils, slugs and snails. Not the sort of house guests you or your plants would appreciate, I’m sure.

When the check over is complete, gently scrape away the uppermost surface of the compost and replace with the same quantity of fresh, similar compost, wipe down the sides of the pot and take your plants inside, taking

There are some wonderful (and good value) houseplants readily available in garden centres and supermarkets now - how about a marvellously elegant moth orchid (Phalaenopsis)?

COCONUT RICE PUDDING WITH CARAMELISED APPLES A classic with a twist, this creamy rice pudding has added coconut milk for extra flavour and is served with spiced apples in a caramel sauce.

Serves 4 Ready in 2 hours 30 minutes 50g unsalted butter, softened 100g pudding rice 400ml full-fat milk 200ml coconut milk 40g caster sugar 1 tbsp runny honey 2 red apples, skinned, cored and cut into wedges 75g demerara sugar 1-2 tsp ground cinnamon 2 tbsp apple juice 1 Preheat the oven to 150°C, fan 130°C, gas 2. Use a little of the softened butter to thoroughly grease a 1.2-litre shallow ovenproof dish.

2 Tip the pudding rice into the buttered dish and stir in the milk and coconut milk. Add the caster sugar and stir again. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Carefully remove the dish and give the pudding a good stir, then stir in the honey and dot with a little more of the butter.

Return to the oven for a further 1 hour 30 minutes or until a golden skin has formed and most of the milk has been absorbed by the rice.

3 About 10 minutes before the rice pudding is ready, melt the rest of the butter in a heavy– based frying pan over a medium heat. Add the apple slices and fry for 1-2 minutes, turning once. Sprinkle over the demerara sugar and cook gently, without stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the cinnamon and apple juice and simmer for a further few minutes until syrupy.

4 Stir the rice pudding (remove the skin first, if preferred) and spoon into bowls. Top with the apples and syrup and serve.

Tip You can use other fruit slices instead of the apples – try peaches or pears or halved apricots.

Be a Driver Survivor Most people spend many hours in their car each week, but none of us expects to have to live in it! Yet in the face of a major incident or in the event of a breakdown, you could be forced to rely on your car for short term shelter and survival. With a properly equipped car emergency kit, you could survive in your vehicle for days if necessary.

If you get in trouble, studies show that you’re most likely to survive if you stay with your vehicle rather than venture out looking for help. But if you do decide to leave your vehicle, only do so if the weather clears and you have proper protective clothing. In addition, make sure the vehicle is parked well off the road and leave a note indicating what has happened, where you have gone, and how you are.
