Feeling burnt out? You may be deficient in this essential mineral well as cardiovascular health. It’s the one nutrient that can boost energy levels during the day and help you sleep like a baby at night. No wonder it’s often referred to as the ‘magic mineral’. Magnesium has such a long list of health benefits that it’s almost impossible to remember them all. Or maybe you could, magnesium also assists with memory, learning and cognitive function! Do you suffer with muscle cramps, facial tics, poor sleep, anxiety or chronic pain? These are just some of the many tell-tale signs of a magnesium deficiency. In an ideal world we’d all get enough vitamins and minerals from our diet alone. Unfortunately the odds are really stacked against us. Why are so many people deficient? Research shows that the magnesium content of supermarket food is 40% lower than that of 50 years ago. The industrialisation of agriculture is to blame for this dramatic reduction. You can’t expect to grow nutrient dense crops from nutrient poor soils. Most of the magnesium that was once high in soil has been washed away into the ocean. For this reason, seaweed one of the best food sources. Unfortunately this is not exactly a staple in the Irish diet! To make matters worse, we remove most of the magnesium from our drinking water during the cleaning process. The fluoride that is added, binds to the remaining magnesium and forms a compound that is difficult to absorb. The following increase your risk of having a magnesium deficiency: • You’re stressed or suffer with anxiety • You exercise at a high intensity • You drink alcohol or caffeinated drinks regularly • You’re on the birth control pill • You supplement or consume an excess of calcium • You’re over 55 • You have impaired digestion Why is it so important? Every single cell in the human body demands adequate magnesium to function, or it will perish. It’s vital for healthy bones and teeth, energy, vitamin D metabolism, muscle relaxation, insulin sensitivity, healthy hormones, detoxification, proper digestion, glucose tolerance as

Best food sources of magnesium: • Seaweed • Leafy greens • Nuts • Seeds Although grains and beans contain a decent amount of magnesium (provided they were grown in magnesium rich soil) they also contain ‘anti-nutrients’ such as phytic acid. These compounds bind to magnesium and other minerals and prevent them from being absorbed in the body.

Benefits of Magnesium: 1. Better sleep – Production of the sleep regulating hormone melatonin is inhibited when magnesium is deficient. Magnesium calms the body and controls stress hormones. Stress and tension are often reasons why people suffer from insomnia in the first place. 2. Relaxes the nervous system - Serotonin, which relaxes the nervous system and elevates mood, is dependent on Magnesium. 3. Energy production - Magnesium plays a key role in ATP production, which could be described as the energy currency for the body. 4. No more cramps - Magnesium loosens tight muscles. Without magnesium, muscles do not relax properly and cramps occur. Magnesium is important for flexibility, because low magnesium results in a build up of lactic acid, causing pain and tightness.

Them bones them bones need calcium magnesium - Taking a calcium supplement cannot only be useless but also downright dangerous if it’s not balanced with an adequate intake of magnesium. Magnesium is one of the most essential nutrients needed for bone health, it stimulates the hormone involved in building up bones and inhibits the hormone that breaks it down. 6. Healthy teeth - Magnesium deficiency causes an unhealthy balance of phosphorous and calcium in saliva, which damages tooth enamel. 7. Alkalizes the body - Magnesium helps to balance the body’s pH. It reduces lactic acid, which is the main cause of post exercise muscle soreness. 8. Hydration - Magnesium is an essential electrolyte. Dehydration often occurs as a result of an electrolyte deficiency. 9. Assists digestion - Magnesium can be used to cleanse the bowel of toxins. 10. Insulin resistance - Magnesium enhances insulin secretion, which facilitates sugar metabolism. Without magnesium, glucose is not able to transfer into cells. Glucose and insulin build up in the blood, causing various types of tissue damage. What to look for in a supplement? Magnesium supplements come in all different types, however, many of them are poorly absorbed. Your supplement should be able to disperse quickly in a glass of water as this gives an indication of its bioavailibility. A good supplement will include a variety of different forms of magnesium, with one form being chelated e.g. magnesium acetate. It should also fully dissolve in water within a matter of seconds, if it doesn’t the body will have a difficult time digesting it.

Caribbean

dreams

ARBADOS, known as the ‘pearl of the Caribbean’, is the eastern-most Caribbean island, and is actually an enormous and ancient coral reef that was formed approximately one million years ago. It has been dubbed ‘the real fantasy island’, an appellation that points to its exotic resorts and glorious beaches. Enjoying 340 days of sunshine a year, numerous well-developed amenities, a throbbing nightlife and friendly inhabitants, it is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Caribbean. With rugged beauty on the east coast‚ calm beaches in the west and lively resorts in the south‚ plus colonial towns and plantations‚

holidays to Barbados are ideal for sightseeing. Picture yourself on a white coral beach and start

planning your idyllic Barbados holiday. The best time to visit Barbados

is from December to May when there is little rain, lots of sun, and humidity is lower. The months from June to November are the wettest although days can pass without any rain and, as is normal in the Caribbean, there is a hurricane season between July and November although they are very rare. BARBADOS IS BEST FOR... Animal lovers: Swim with turtles - hop aboard a catamaran for an unmissable experience. High flyers: Helicopter tour discover Barbados by air – take to the skies for a spectacular tour! Sun worshippers: Sit and enjoy clear blue water and immaculate white sands on Palm Beach.

MADRID IS BEST FOR: Art lovers: Wander the Paseo del Arte (Art Walk) to see famous art collections spanning the ages. Football fans: Walk on the hallowed home ground of one of the world’s greatest soccer success stories: Real Madrid. Stylish shoppers: Explore Madrid’s network of stylish shopping streets, with labels ranging from trendy high street to high-end designer.

Underground show-stopper EXPLORE a cave, watch eagles in flight and sample delicious local food products at Aillwee Cave, Ireland’s premier show cave in Ballyvaughan County Clare. Over 3,5000 feet of winding passages are open to the public, with regular guided tours provided. Visitors to this popular County Clare attraction are escorted on a 35 minute stroll through caverns, over bridged chasms, beneath unusual rock

formations and ending beside a thunderous waterfall. This stunning creation of nature was gradually formed by prehistoric Ice Age melt waters carving paths through this limestone mountain. Burren Birds of Prey Centre, located at the foot of Aillwee Cave, features the largest display of falcons, harris hawks, owls, American kestrels and white tailed sea eagles in the country.

FOOD & WINE

Waterford Mail 23 April 2015

Food & drink White: Metal Label Viognier From Australia 13% abv Viognier is a grape that most will be unaware of. If you’re a fan of Chardonnay it’s a worthy replacement if you want to try something different. A creamy and rich, full-mouth feel is accompanied by peaches and apricots on the nose and a long smooth finish. Serve with “Pasta Carbonara” or foods with creamy sauces to enjoy it best. Price: €12.99

A taste of the Mediterranean Prawn Chilli Linguini

The Cove Bar Head Chef, Laura Rimaite, has a range of new dishes on the menu for the summer but her favourite to give that light delicious Mediterranean taste is the Prawn Chilli Linguini. Like all good dishes it’s simple to prepare and can be made quickly. As always Laura insists on good quality ingredients when cooking simple food. A nice glass of chilled white wine to go with it and you have the perfect meal. INGREDIENTS (serves two people): • 170g dry linguini • 50g spinach • 2 tbsp olive oil • 1 large garlic clove, finely chopped • 1 red chilli, seeded and finely chopped • 20 raw king prawns • 1 tbsp green pesto • salt and cracked black pepper • parmesan shavings • garlic bread

Red: Zaccanagi Montepulciano D’Abbruzo “Twiggy” From Italy 12.5% abv The name is quite the mouthful and so is the wine. Loads of ripe blackcurrants, blackberries, cherry and plum - a veritable fruit bomb in the mouth – however, it remains light and smooth. A great wine with a lazy lunch. If you only drink one Montepulciano this year make it this one. Price: €15.99

METHOD: • Cook the Linguini according to the packet instructions, drain very well and return to the pan. • Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, chilli salt and pepper and cook until garlic is golden brown. • Add the prawns and cook for two minutes or until cooked through. Add the spinach and the pesto. Stir well and cook for just a minute to wilt the Spinach. • Add the pasta to the pan, mix well and serve immediately with Parmesan shavings and Garlic Bread on the side.

38 THE PARENT FILES

Waterford Mail 23 April 2015

Family life Praise for Youth against bullying The Parent Files By Heather Campbell

Lost in translation COMMUNICATION in the spoken word between teenagers and parents can be exasperating enough, but add in some virtual conversation and you’re on course for some vexed up, text up, mix ups. If we’re honest, there are moments when we adults can have trouble understanding the finer points of modern communication. When we get lost in a confusing jungles of LOLs, WTFs and YOLOs, the end results can be pretty funny. I came across the following iPhone text messages recently which are a perfect example of what can happen when someone who doesn’t understand the mores of modern social network communication tries to engage in it anyway. Some aspects of the confusion are modern – like, for example, the extremely unfortunate use of LOL. Others are simply a digital continuation of the age-old tradition of parents doing their best to embarrass their children. Mum: Your great aunt just passed away. LOL Son: Why is that funny? Mum: It’s not funny David! What do you mean? Son: Mum lol means laughing out loud! Mum: Oh my goodness! I sent that to everyone. I thought it meant lots of love. I have to call everyone back. Oh god! Text from dad to son: You left your phone at home. Son: Hey mum I’ve decided I’m coming out Mum: Oh Michael, Dad and I always knew you were gay, but I am a tad shocked you texted me! I love you no matter what! Son: MUM. I’M NOT GAY. I sent my text before I could finish. I’m coming out to see you and Dad in May! Mum: LOL. We love you no matter what type of coming out you do! Son: Dad just told me you bought a car! Can you afford that? Mum: YOLO Son: Do you even know what that means? Mum: No : ) But did I use it correctly? Son: Sadly, yes... Daughter: Dad there’s a moth on the outside of the bathroom door can you get rid of it for me? Daughter: Pls hurry because I’m going to cry Daughter: Dad Daughter: Dad Dad: Dad is dead. You’re next. Love, Moth Mum: When are you coming home? Mum: Hello?? WTF?? Son: Mum! Do you know what that means? Mum: Yeah, are you coming home Wednesday, Thursday or Friday? Son: Nope. Not what that means. FYI (for your information), YOLO means ‘you only live once’. WTF, well I leave that one for you to work out.

THE ISPCC’s Waterford Unit Youth’s section is the first club in Ireland to be awarded the charity’s Shield Flag. The flag was presented by Catherine O’Donohoe Regional Services Manager of the ISPCC to the Irish Red Cross Unit in Waterford in recognition of their work in developing robust anti-bullying policies and building a climate of openness and support when responding to bullying concerns. For the past four years, the ISPCC have been running the Shield Anti- Bullying campaign and to date nearly 200 schools have already participated. The ISPCC have recently broadened its reach to focus on encouraging youth clubs and sporting clubs with juvenile divisions to utilise the “Shield my Club” programme. The programme is designed to help clubs put in place an effective policy and management plan which is focused on bullying prevention. It strengthens the clubs specific anti-bullying policy and also their overall approach and organisational culture on the issue of bullying. In recognition of the hard work that clubs invest into this programme, the ISPCC now awards its “Shield Flag” to clubs that complete a strict set of criteria.

The Waterford Unit of the Irish Red Cross are not only the first club in Waterford to be awarded the Shield Flag but they are the first club Ireland to be awarded the prestigious flag. Sinead McKee of the ISPCC in Waterford stated: “The ISPCC commends the hard work and efforts of the Irish Red Cross Youths in Waterford with regard to the prevention of bullying. “The group have now implemented a strong, proactive, evidence informed approach to the prevention and management of bullying. This group is leading the way in Ireland in terms of bullying prevention and we hope that they are just the first of many clubs receive the ISPCC’s Shield Flag.” Maria Flynn, Irish Red Cross Cadet Unit Officer notes that: “We found that the ISPCC have really made the whole process very doable for clubs. Every club and school in Waterford should get on board and show that their school or club is a telling school/club; that they won’t tolerate bullying, and that they are prepared to make positive steps to prevent and respond to bullying.”

PUZZLES

23 April 2015

CROSSWORDS It would be wholly understandable if you started to think about the purchase of other large objects. True, you might need to persuade a certain person that your need is justified - and that could lead to interesting discussion. By midweek however, working out how old and new can be blended may be top priority. It’s likely that your stubborn or determined streak will surface - perhaps because you feel you need to ‘fight’ for a cause. It might not be solely cost that’s an issue. Part of the problem may be the need to understand administrative terminology (legalities) that are alien. At this time of year - four weeks ahead of your birthday month - it would be understandable if you undertook a review of your work-life balance. You may be right in drawing the conclusion that work pressures have spilt over into creative time. Just how integrated you are within a team should be apparent by midweek. It’s even possible that you will receive extra reward. At the very least accolades could come your way. That said, pressures may be great and high standards required as you deal with a situation that’s quite out-with your experience. You’re likely to start the week determined, focused and absolutely sure that you know what you’re doing. That’s likely to endear you to some but could as easily mean a war-zone develops when someone equally fixed doesn’t want to go along with your plans. Priority may need to be given to a business partner (or someone with whom you have close financial dealings). It may be that there is an ethical or legal question involved. Resolving this issue - which may well concern boundaries or scheduling could be tricky.

Have you decided what you want to do? Are you feeling pushed? Or is it you that’s doing the pushing? It’s entirely possible that recent developments have boosted your spirits. The question now may be how to keep going. A new commercial relationship may grab your attention and could prove galvanising. ‘Coming out fighting’ seems a suitable phrase for the start of your week. Yes, you could hit buffers midweek - particularly when it appears someone hasn’t prepared work as was intended. Enquiries as to how well something is developing could be the gentle nudge needed to move things along. Making up for lost time could become a matter of urgency. You may not have been the one holding things back, but it seems likely you’ll be the one who has to drive to the finishing line. With others confident in your abilities, this might not be so much of a problem since anxiety to please could fuel you. This could prove one of the better weeks of your year: perhaps because you have a new project to work on. You could tackle even the most complex of tasks with relative ease. Not only might there be the usual rewards for this, you might also know that success will add to your CV. You could have a bee in your bonnet as the week opens. This may have advantages career wise as you’re likely to get things done. You might need to galvanise those who don’t yet share your vision and before Thursday deal with some opposition. You should maybe prepare for some strong email dialogue (argument). The weekend may bring a fresh look at what’s valuable, what’s necessary and what must be replaced as a matter of urgency. By Thursday, how best to blend old with new seems to be a big theme. For some this could be a week to shop: for others, a time to sell: the theme being exchange at all levels.

In your %\ (PHU .HOO\ #( 67</( THOSE great beach holidays you took in your teens are showing up on your face. You’re beginning to see cumulative sun damage in the form of blotchiness, red spots, and ruddiness. You’re also losing more collagen and elasticity, and your skin retains less moisture. Because it doesn’t reflect light evenly, your complexion is losing some of its glow. Here are some helpful tips to pamper your skin. Cleanser: Use a creamy (rather than gel) cleanser morning and night. Moisturiser: Supplement your broad-spectrum moisturizer - which should contain SPF 15 or 20 - with a couple of creams, lotions, or serums containing at least two types of antioxidants, such as lycopene, green tea, or soy, alternating them every other day. You’ll get a wider benefit from switching, because different antioxidants

address different problems. Or, if your skin is beginning to look dull, try a formula with peptides, which have been shown to strengthen collagen. Treat dryness with a rich moisturizing cream that contains hyaluronic acid, petrolatum, shea butter, or oils.

Night treatment: A luxurious thick formulation to help lighten the skin is the way to go. It reduces brown spots. Aha increases exfoliation and collagen production, thickens the epidermis, and can reverse precancerous sun damage. If your skin can’t tolerate a retinoid every night, use it every other night.

CHIC, cool and so right now – the girlfriend jean is the slim-fitting, anklegrazing style to invest in. Here’s everything you need to know about the jeans you’ll be wearing this season… WHAT IS IT? The Girlfriend is a more feminine version of the boyfriend jean cut, umm, that would be YOU then! Unlike boyfriend jeans, which are based on menswear, these pants are decidedly feminine and designed with ladies in mind. It’s a more classic fit – tighter and higher on the hip, with a tapered slim straight leg. Made from more ridged denim, the style is more authentic and offers a flattering shape. The girlfriend jean wears the cuffs rolled up well above the ankle, and paired with sexy high heels or ballet flats and slinky tank tops.

Luxury shopper Grab a gorgeous Orla Kiely shopper bag at Pauls Fashion Department Store, Kilkenny. Sixties Stem punched leather unlined bag with flap and large buckle detail. Magnets to close. Adjustable, detachable long leather strap in addition to top handle so that the bag can be worn across the body. Leather logo pocket detail on back.

UP TOWN GIRL Go for the boy-meets-girl look and dress up girlfriend jeans with a boyfriend blazer, simple white cami and sky-high stiletto courts. DOWN TOWN FUNK For an effortlessly-chic holiday look, team raw-hem Riley jeans with a simple tank and metallic sliders. IT’S IN THE DETAILS Give your denim an edge and switch up the shades, fades and details. Wear a frayed hem to channel ‘70s bohemia or try distressed rips for a rock-chick vibe

Omega Three A few older timers playing in an old yet fashionable pub could just be the gig of this weekend! The aptly titled Omega Three will play Geoff ’s on Sunday April 26th at 6.30pm. And its one for the connoisseurs. The group is a collection of seasoned musicians Francie White, Gerry Power and Mickey Dower who, on occasion, invite guest musicians to supplement their sound and become Omega Three Extra Strength. For this gig, bringing the extra strength to Omega Three will be Suzanne Rowe on accordion. Omega Three came together to play the music they like, and what they came up with, just like the members themselves, is not too easy to categorise. Their set-list has been described as ‘country blues meets folk meets jazz’. If it’s any help, you will hear swing and rag-time tunes and some jazz standards along with classic acoustic songs from the likes of Bob Dylan, Doc Watson, Happy Traum and

John Martyn. Sunday 26th April, 6.30pm.

A moan again... naturally One of the city’s most famous sons has announced his now annual tour of Ireland - but yet again avoided anything Suirside. A man called Ray O’ Sullivan, who hailed from the Cork Road and has sold 27 million albums worldwide will play Dublin, Cork and even Wexford to continue a now long standing bypass of this native city over a poorly attended Theatre Royal gig over a decade ago. I’m a huge fan of Gilbert O’Sullivan, but having interviewed the man several times it seems the grudge shows no signs of relenting, which is sad for a man whose star reached shiny new proportions in the 70’s with Alone Again Naturally spending a mammoth six weeks on top of the Billboard Chart. Please come back Gilbert, we love you, we really do.

World Premiere ROUGH Magic presents the World Premiere of Famished Castle, a new play by Irish Times columnist Hilary Fannin. An accidental meeting in a snow-locked airport reunites former lovers Angie and Nathaniel. Ten years have passed since their parting. In that time Angie has remained in Ireland, marrying and having children, staying faithful to her profession as a teacher. Nathaniel, meanwhile, has patched together a life in Berlin, where he currently lives with his girlfriend, a young economist. The intervening decade has also seen Ireland wake up to the crucifying hangover of the ‘tiger’ economy. As the country counts the empties from the days of plenty, both financial and emotional, Angie and Nathaniel retrace the actions and inactions that led to the sudden death of their love affair. The couple revisit a festive night ten years before, a birthday dinner with his parents, when with corks popping and cuff links glittering, the family’s ravaged past pulled up a seat at the table, destroying their future. The production is directed by Lynne Parker and stars Aislin McGuckin (Heartbreak House, Holby City), Vincent McCabe (Games of Thrones, Fair City), Eleanor Methven (Plaza Suite, The Clinic, Love is the Drug), Ray Scannell (Deep, Digging for Fire). The run starts from Thursday 7 May to Saturday 9 May in Theatre Royal, Waterford. Tickets are €14 - €20 and available from box office on 051 874402 or online at theatreroyal.ie.

Gig it Tramore in Rock 2015 O’Shea’s Hotel Tramore is the place to be on Saturday, as it will play host to Tramore in Rock - a gig featuring three of Waterford’s finest rock bands.

The bands have organised this gig as a fundraiser for Tramore Community Radio and it should be of interest to anyone who ever wore a denim jacket in their life you know who you are. So what to expect; well the three bands in question are Collides, Pilgrim and Metropolis, all veteran rockers who take no prisoners when it comes to head banging. Collides are an alternative rock trio with psychedelic and garage influences and a vocal style reminiscent of the great Jello Biafra/ Johnny Rotten. Their set comprises original pieces such as “No way out’’ ‘’All the Time’’ and the unforgettable ‘’Land Ho’’ a must see for anyone with original rock music preferences. Metropolis on the other hand are a full-on, no-holds-barred Motorhead tribute band that not only sound identical but, in the form of lead singer, Thor Zeller, a dead ringer of the god Lemmy, if somewhat lighter in years. If you don’t like this band who pump out the metal unapologetically you would be well advised to reassess your rock credibility status, One Direction these guys aren’t. Pilgrim, worship at the same alter as the two aforementioned that is hard rock and dedicate themselves to the best of that genre, covering classics from the Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Black Crows and many more. Drawing on their collective experience over many years they promise to rock you solid. The gig takes place in O’Shea’s Hotel Tramore on Saturday and doors open at 9pm. Tramore Community Radio will be broadcasting the gig live on tcrfm.ie. Sonsors on the night include The Raglan Road bar and Alpha Sounds, who will be providing a serious sound and lighting system. For anyone wishing to make an overnight of it O’Shea’s Hotel is offering one night’s B&B for two plus tickets to the gig for €89. For those about to rock we salute you. Now, where did I put that denim jacket...

The directorial debut of 28 Days Later and Sunshine creenwriter Alex Garland, the story begins as a young programmer named Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) is selected as the winner of a lottery at his company, and his reward is that he gets to fly out and visit the extremely exclusive research facility belonging to his boss, Nathan (Oscar Isaac), an eccentric, billionaire genius. It is only once our protagonist arrives at the remote location, however, that he discovers the reason behind his summoning: Nathan has created the world’s first ever artificial intelligence – an android named Ava (Alicia Vikander) – and he wants Caleb to perform a Turing Test that will determine the full extent of the A.I.’s capability. A remarkable piece of mesmerizing science-fiction, and one that should be buzzed about for months to come.

The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water Rated PG Unless you’re a die hard Spongebob Squarepants fan, this film has nothing to offer you. Even then, you might find yourself exhausted by the end of the film’s run. A pirate (Antonio Banderas) has stolen a sacred text that tells the story of the time the Krabby Patty formula was lifted. What makes this time different from others is the fact that Plankton, Mr. Crab’s nemesis, didn’t even have a chance to steal it and get away with it. With chaos reigning in Bikini Bottom, and the apocalypse nigh and dry, it’s up to Spongebob and Plankton to put aside their differences and save the day... a hard movie to watch, even if you’re a Spongebob viewer.
