There is a commonly held belief that as we age, we naturally gain weight. The truth of the matter is that yes, unfortunately managing our waist-lines does become more challenging as we get older. However, there are some basic lifestyle changes we can make to prevent further weight gain. We can achieve a healthy weight loss and shift the excess pounds we acquire as the years progress. Metabolism is the body’s natural method of manufacturing fuel from nutrients found in our food. The energy created, referred to as calories, is then expended through the body’s internal and external activities; even while we are sleeping or at rest. Lean muscle is the primary consumer of calories but as we age, the quantity of muscle tissue we have naturally decreases. Lean muscle requires more calories to function than fat tissue. The less we have, the less calories we burn. Always remember that successful, healthy weight loss at any stage of life requires permanent improvements to our diet and activity levels. The health rewards, both mental and physical are plentiful, particularly in later years. Walking, swimming and cycling are all great ways to keep your heart rate up, burn calories and stay healthy. It is suggested that we should aim to do at least 20 - 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily. However, if we exercise the same way without variety, our muscles become accustomed to the routine and begin to require less energy to perform the same movements.In order to counteract this negative effect, incorporate interval training into your regime. For say 30-40 seconds at a time, push yourself to walk, swim, cycle, faster. Then, return to your normal rate and do this repeatedly. This will have a greater long-term impact and result in more calories being burned, helping you to achieve a healthy weight loss. Weight training is the most effective way to build up and retain lean muscle. In order to keep trim, weight training and bone strengthening should be made an integral part of any exercise routine, particularly as we get older. Stress can cause havoc with our weight and when stressed, the body responds by releasing the stress hormone cortisol. This reaction is believed to be the body’s way of preparing for the possible threat of lack of food in the future. Meditation, a slightly more recent phenomenon, is a proven way to keep stress levels to a minimum. Simply reading a book or a gentle stroll outside in the fresh air can also alleviate feelings of stress. Ideally the average person needs approximately 7 hours sleep a night and without adequate sleep, the body cannot function properly. According to researchers at the Chicago University, lack of sleep increases the appetite-stimulating hormone, ghrelin, making us crave fat and carb-rich foods. At the same time, it decreases the level of the satisfaction hormone leptin, making us experience hunger for longer. Tiredness will have adverse effects on your system, which will then inevitably make it difficult to achieve a healthy weight loss
The final area worth examining is our food consumption and eating habits. Often keeping a food diary can help ensure that we take in the necessary nutrients each day and avoid foods which could throw off our healthy weight loss goals. It is always important to start the day with a filling, healthy breakfast. This meal acts as a wake-up call for your metabolism and will curb your appetite. Proteinpacked foods help to satisfy hunger and provide the building blocks required to construct and repair lean muscle. Low-calorie, nutrient-dense fruit and vegetables are water and fibre-rich and will make you feel fuller for longer. Small tweaks to your lifestyle can make a huge difference over time. Manage your daily activities; from your exercise to your diet to your relaxation and downtime. Once you’ve found your balance, your middle-age spread will become a thing of the past.

Business of the week Kelly & Dollard Electrical Superstore A division of the independent ElectroCity brand that also features shops in Kilkenny and Carlow, Kelly & Dollard Electrical is one of the best and cheapest electrical stores in our county and offers a service that is unprecedented in Waterford electrics. The store is located in the Kingsmeadow retail park and is a large store featuring
hundreds of different brands from Apple to Sony to local ones like Waterford Stanley; the staff are incredibly helpful and will always provide you wit great recommendations. I highly recommend Kelly & Dollard Electrical Superstore for anyone in the market for affordable, high quality electronics in Waterford.
Hotel of the week The Fitzwilton Hotel The Fitzwilton Hotel is a beautiful modern establishment for our city. Its greatest asset is unquestionably its modern aesthetic and style that makes it unique among Waterford hotels, The Fitzwilton does a wonderful job of mixing traditional woods with modern art to create an entirely distinct look and atmosphere.
The food in the hotel is also a highlight, featuring multiple restaurants from the Chez-K’s to the Met Bar and is a perfect venue for communions or confirmations this year. The Fitzwilton hotel is a fantastic hotel with great facilities and staff, it is without precedent in Waterford.
Activity of the week Pure Adventure Waterford Pure Adventure is a South-East organization for kayak and canoe trips down rivers and on the Copper Coast. In recent years they have also expanded to Stand Up Paddle Boarding and other activities but the highlight in Waterford is still the amazing sea kayaking that takes you into the coast. The day is tailored to whatever the group want, whether
that be a day spent exploring the caves and arches or one that sends you out as far as possible from the country. There is also sea fishing available that is always fun. I recommend Pure Adventure Waterford for anyone in the market for a fun and memorable outdoor activity this week.
Venue of the week Waterford Castle Golf Course No other venue in town claim to be located on its own island from which to enjoy yourself but the Waterford Castle can and by extension, its Golf Course is one of the best in the country. The
entire island is utterly beautiful, capturing a serene sense of peace and clarity that embodies you whole once you enter. The castle is beautiful, now operating as a hotel, but it is this golf course that shines above all else and is the perfect place to relax for a day.
Song of the week Girl Band- Lawman Girl Band are a new Dublin band who make rock music heavily influenced by late 70s and early 80s New York no-wave and noise rock music. Their biggest single at the moment came out in January and sold out on vinyl fast, but you can still get a free download of it from their bandcamp page. The two guitars spend the song’s six minute length either lurching forward a grove or screeching,
the singer almost talks over the chaos of the instrumentation. It’s almost depressing but turns out to be quite an exciting song despite its slow pace. Girl Band are definitely one of the most interesting bands to come out of Ireland in recent years and are actually good to boot; even if you don’t like it you have to appreciate that they’re doing something different from the norm here.

TV of the week Mad Men Season 7a The seventh season of Mad Men is due to debut later this month and has so far adhered to a strict policy of telling us absolutely nothing. Almost all of the promotional material so far shows are main characters at airports or on planes, a dead character appears in the background of one of the shots alive (implicating that death will be a very important theme this
season). Whatever symbolism I’m missing here there is one thing for certain: Change is happening. Things are moving forward, and I suspect Don’s decision to move with it or resist will become massively important this next season. Seven episodes will be released this year with seven more coming out next year; making the season 14 episodes long.
Pub of the Week The Reg Bar & Nightclub The Reg has a place in Waterford as one of its best nightclubs and it is well deserving of this but there is so much more to this location. The Reg is a place with half a dozen different subsections to it that help to make it such a great location; there is the traditional gastropub, Noc Noc the live music venue,
Album of the week Mac Demarco- Salad Days Mac Demarco’s style of chilled soft rock returns after 2012’s ‘2’ with Salad Days, certainly not an evolution of the formula, more of a continuation but a better album overall than its predecessor. Mac Demarco tends to take the style of artists like Kurt Vile or Real Estate but puts a much greater emphasis on jangle and glam as opposed to country or Neil Young. I’ll admit to slightly missing the higher emphasis of Glam on Rock and Roll Nightclub but Salad Days is still a great album for those interested in the style of music.
Gym of the week Elite Ladies Fitness
Too many gyms these days are obsessed with addons, you may pay a membership fee but half of the things inside the gym are off limits. Elite Ladies Fitness does not do this, everything from personal sessions, program updates or specific classes are available to you the
Restaurant of the Week The Olive Tree Tapas & Wine Bar Located at The Mall, The Olive Tree Tapas & Wine Bar is one of the best places to eat in Waterford, offering a style of food rarely seen at an incredibly high and consistent quality. The entire menu is great, there is no worry of happening upon bad food, and the staff is extremely helpful
in helping you decide what to eat and what to drink. The restaurant has a lovely Spanish style atmosphere that enhances the entire experience. The food is also extremely affordable, something that is becoming rarer and rarer at Tapas restaurants. I highly recommend The Olive Tree.
the ‘Catch-22’ seafood restaurant, and also the bar is split into six sections; each specialising in a different kind of experience. The location is beautiful, there is so much here, the live music is some of the best in the city; there is truly no place in Waterford like The Reg.

minute you enter the gym. Elite Ladies Gym is a gym designed to help women achieve their goals, and whatever they may be, Elite Ladies Fitness has the staff and the equipment to do it. I highly recommend Elite Ladies Fitness to any women in need of a gym that will tailor itself to you, not the other way around.

Mesmerising, insightful, determined, resourceful and focused Scorpio Your ruling planets are Mars and Pluto, your best day of the week is Tuesday and your colours deep, deep red and black. Saturn is moving through your sign until late 2014. View this as a long period of self-investment. A clash between your head and heart could leave you out of sorts. You might even feel â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;liverishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. A further possibility is that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been given too much information and that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re experiencing a rare moment of overload. On the positive side, a friend might be only too happy to take some of the strain. Money and cash that should have arrived a few weeks ago might start to filter through. Delayed post could reach you too. Best news of all though could come from someone dealing with technology. A short conversation might leave you with more information than you thought. You could experience one of your more emotional days: possibly because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been given too much information and not enough time to process it. You might feel the urge to make a journey or call someone to ask for an explanation. A good friend is likely to advise that you think carefully before you act . Just whether you keep information to yourself or allow someone in on your thinking could be a big issue. Your memory may be put to the test: possibly by a relative. You might wish to question an advertising campaign - and then astound someone by producing a receipt or guarantee theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d lost.

Waterford Mail
â&#x20AC;˘ Max Casey takes a look at the best of music, ďŹ lm and literature â&#x20AC;˘
),/0 7KH &DELQHW RI 'U &DOLJDUL There is something so inherently disturbing about the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a wrongness that gets under your skin and makes the ďŹ lm more horrifying now than even the latest horror tripe that ďŹ&#x201A;oods the box office every October. The ďŹ lm is a deďŹ nitive piece of German Expressionism and the sets reďŹ&#x201A;ects this, instead of ďŹ lming in a real location we are given a landscape of jagged, thorned architecture and twisting roads that make the ďŹ lm feel incredibly uneven and askew. While most ďŹ lms of the era were infatuated with capturing the real world, Dr. Caligari gives us something completely unique that has never truly been replicated. The fact that the ďŹ lm is both foreign and extremely old also aids in making it feel as it does since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a culture completely alien from our own. I would argue that the ďŹ lm is actually more horrifying now than it was in 1920, though we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scare as easily as crowds then would. The opening of the ďŹ lm is completely surreal with the main character of Francis sitting beside an old man. The ďŹ rst lines out of the old man are seemingly without context:
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Spirits surround us on every sideâ&#x20AC;Ś They have driven me from hearth and home, from wife and childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. After this the woman who is apparently Francisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ ancĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walks by looking like a ghost which prompts Francis to tell the story of Dr. Caligari. This main story is of another old man and his somnambulist, a creature that can predict the future. When the Somnambulist predicts that Francisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend will be dead by dawn (and then is dead by dawn) it prompt Francis to discover who this man is and whether he is responsible for the murder. Though, like a great many horror ďŹ lms, the plot is not what makes the ďŹ lm so great, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the atmosphere. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how everything in the ďŹ lm is so disjointed and unnerving. From the characters to the music to the sets to the plot, everything is crooked and nothing is familiar; the only way I could ďŹ nd to describe it was just to outline the opening scene. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari will always have a place in history as one of the most inďŹ&#x201A;uential ďŹ lms of all time, but the ďŹ nished product is still an incredibly fascinating and engaging piece that should deďŹ nitely be experienced.

For me, the great theme of The Sound and the Fury is decay. Characters in the book are obsessed with the past, both within and outside the family. The narrative centres on the Compsons, a family of ex-aristocrats in the US Deep South who have fallen from grace; now a shadow of their previous selves. The Compsons ďŹ nd themselves trapped trying to retain the old order in a world that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow it anymore; they live in a place that has been in constant decline since the Civil War and now barely exists at all. I would argue that The Sound and the Fury is just as deserving of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the great American novelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; title as The Great Gatsby. The two novels create interesting counterpoints, as The Great Gatsby shows new values embraced to excess while The Sound and the Fury is the violent reaction to these ideas. The novel is split up into four chapters, three of which are from different perspectives. It utilizes the Stream of Consciousness writing technique that attempts to mimic
human thought. The ďŹ rst chapter uses a constant stream of often tangential information to create this strange effect, like trying to describe a dream: events are told in the shortest and most basic sense possible with room given over to character mumblings and speciďŹ c, seemingly random details. The second chapter makes
-R\ 'LYLVRQ &ORVHU
use of pages upon pages of no punctuation: Simply a constant stream of words (not unlike the ďŹ nal chapter of Ulysses in terms of writing style). The Sound and the Fury is not an easy read. Your ďŹ rst time through will probably leave you tired and confused, it feels almost as if Faulkner is deliberately trying to mislead the reader. The opening chapter is told from the perspective of a mentally disabled man whose past and present meld together into one, the chronology is completely mangled throughout and there are three characters named Quentin. But the book is designed to reward repeated readings though and it does so in spades. The Sound and the Fury is something most readers will return to many times in their lives and enjoy in new ways. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an endlessly interpretable book that will tell the reader something about themselves as well as about the Compsons every time. Simply put, it is one of the greatest novels ever written.
For most, the genre of postpunk can be deďŹ ned as bands trying to meld the experimentation and avant-garde nature of German Krautrock with the raw energy of punk music but Joy Division were a doing something completely different. They were not interested in the heavy experimentation but in the sense of coldness and depression that came from bands like Can, Faust and most importantly, Kraftwerk. It was this that was blended with the raw emotion of punk and something wholly original was created. Ian Curtis, the band leader, famously suffered from depression and committed suicide two months before the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release. The sound of Closer is something that he feels tailored speciďŹ cally for him, music about depression but that uses the raw energy and power of punk to offer a brief respite from it. Joy Division were one of the ďŹ rst rock bands where the bass was the driving force of the music as opposed to the guitar or the piano; doing this made the music extremely rhythmic and exciting. The band only created
two studio albums, their debut Unknown Pleasures will always be the most popular due to the famous cover art and placing of singles like Disorder and She Lost Control on it but their greatest masterpiece is unquestionably Closer. Unknown Pleasures had only come out the year before but the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evolution between the two albums is startling. Singles like Transmission became singles like Atmosphere; they were experimenting with electronic instrumentation and were sounding more and more like Kraftwerk and less like the Sex Pistols with each passing month. One of the best things about Closer is its coherency; every song on this album is different but all feel part of a whole, it creates this absorbing atmosphere that enthrals for the
entirety of its length. Closer is much less punk inďŹ&#x201A;uenced than its predecessor, the atmosphere is morose and melancholic and the songs are slower and more ponderous than anything on their previous works. Though, the album begins at an expedient pace; Atrocity Exhibition sounds like chaos barely controlled. The drums give the tribal feel of The Velvet Underground, the bass is the rhythm but the guitar is the highlight; creating some terrifying pastiches of distortion that throw the song forward. All the while Ian Curtis shouts about madness and depression; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an incredible and exhilarating opening track. Isolation follows on from this and sounds so like Kraftwerk but without any of the restraint and control inherent to their music. From here the album moves into the slow and atmospheric; culminating in the absurdly sombre The Eternal and Decades; the best songs on the album. Closer is Joy Divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magnum opus; an incredible album that maps out the feeling of depression into a beautiful and atmospheric 40-minutes; I highly recommend it.

'RP +HPLQJZD\ Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loud and volatile. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s profane and poetic. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dom Hemingway, one of the most thrilling thugs ever set to screen. Written and directed by Richard Shepard, Dom Hemingway is a wicked and wild comedy that follows its titular anti-hero (Jude Law) through the catastrophic business of adjusting to life on the outside after 12 years in prison. A safe-cracker with magic hands and a big mouth, Dom is a classic crook with a personal code of ethics, and an insatiable thirst for sex, drugs and death-threatening risks. With his loyal pal Dickie (Richard E. Grant), Dom strives to make sense of modern London, and reconnect with his estranged daughter (Emilia Clarke). But before he gets to any of that, he takes the time to beat the man who married his ex-wife. Domâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a man of old-school pride, after all. Jude Law is remarkable and

utterly transformed as Dom. The pretty boy of The Holiday and Closer has vanished, and in his place is a snarling, beefy beast of a man with a hot temper, an ugly mug, and an inexplicable but undeniable sex appeal. His physicality is brutish and virile. His delivery is effusive and gruff. Freed from the demands of looking dashing, Law lets loose and crafts a character who is deliciously deranged, and surprisingly deep. $GPLWWHGO\ WKH SORW UDPEOHV

N THE United States, there have recently been a number of cases involving individuals who were life-long meat eaters, then suddenly developed allergic reactions after eating red meat. The presenting symptoms included hives, swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, breathing difficulties and drops in blood pressure. This new emerging allergy was found to be triggered by a type of sugar called alpha-gal present in red meat.
Tick bites from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lone Starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; species are likely the cause of thousands of cases of severe red meat allergies that are plaguing patients in south-eastern states of America including Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia and spreading up the eastern seaboard along with the deer population. Doctors did not even know tick bites could trigger the food allergy until researchers at the University of Virginia made the connection. Dr Thomas Platts-Mills led the team in the States which noticed the trend of people developing the allergy later in life. After reporting this ďŹ nding in 2009, his team worked with other research institutions and concluded in 2011 that tick bites were the original cause. Interestingly those who develop the allergy can safely eat poultry such as chicken or turkey but red meats such as beef and pork, and even game like venison, will cause the adverse reactions. Vanderbiltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Asthma, Sinus and Allergy Clinic is seeing one or more new cases each week of patients allergic to the alpha-gal sugar
The symptoms which manifest during the allergic reaction appear to be as severe as someone suffering from a nut or milk allergy. Persons with the allergy can even go into a delayed anaphylactic shock four-six hours after eating red meat. Blood tests are available to test for the alpha-gal antibodies and diagnose the allergy but there is no method to desensitise people once they become allergic to red meat. In such cases, individuals must avoid red meats for the rest of their lives. To my knowledge, there are no conďŹ rmed cases yet in Europe. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope this â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lone Starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tick never arrives in Ireland, as I certainly enjoy my sirloin steaks too much!
present in red meat, according to Robert Valet, MD, an assistant professor of medicine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not completely understood exactly how the allergy starts,â&#x20AC;? Valet says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thought is that
the tick has the alpha-gal sugar in its gut and introduces it as part of the allergic bite and that causes the production of the allergy antibody which then cross-reacts to the meat,â&#x20AC;? he says.
