rothers Simon been hard at year building Lytham and St.Annes manufacturer.

and Ben Corbett have work since the new up their business as only dedicated fencing

“We were on an installation last year which involved making a long fence run and matching gates, after we made the gates we looked at them and said to ourselves – They’re good gates, we’d pay decent money for them” After quickly doing the maths it was that ‘lightbulb moment’ which led them on the way to setting up premises and starting as manufacturers.

They further explain “As contractors we always had to go out of town to find the best product at the best prices, now we hope to give people the benefit of our location, great products and competitive prices” “We have the best suppliers across the North West so can guarantee customer satisfaction on any of our timber, fencing, gates and decking” ADVERTISE Advertise - Book your Online business www.link-mag.co.uk call 0800 970 7687 0800 or 970 email7687 info@link-mag.co.uk or sales@link-mag.co.uk

and its alternatives Some people would have you believe that there is only one milk, and that is from a cow.

But with the prevalence of IBS (irritable Bowel Syndrome), lactose intolerance and allergies, there is a lot of confusion about milk.

Dairy milk has been a subject of hysteria for a while now - it has divided the nation for decades. In the white corner we have the virtuous 1%-ters who only ever touch skimmed milk, while in the red corner defenders of full fat milk have been saying that it cannot be so bad if it comes straight from the cow at 4%, as nature intended. And stuck in the middle are the semi-skimmers, waiting to see who is right.

Well, now we know. The full fat milk defenders have been right all along, and finally the nation is listening.

Now that full fat milk has been exonerated, authorities are openly recommending that children should be drinking full fat milk, at least up to a certain age. Research also shows (pass the smelling salts!) that adults trying to lose weight tend to do better if they include some full fat milk and yoghurt in their diet.

Of course, a lot of this is down to the fact that full fat milk leaves us feeling fuller for longer, and that keeps us away from the biscuit tin.

The truth is that skimmed, semi-skimmed or full fat, milk is a low fat food! Even full fat milk has only 4% fat, and in the world of nutrition anything below 10% is considered low fat. So unless you are drinking gallons of it, the fat amount is small and the biggest difference between the red top, green top and blue top milk is the taste. Compare this with the fat content of a sausage or a HobNob, and you will see what I mean.

Apart from the weight management benefits, milk is a great source of calcium and vitamin D, with both nutrients playing an important role in maintaining strong bones and teeth.

It’s worth remembering that vitamin D is fat soluble – it means that we absorb more of it when we ingest it with fat, as nature has conveniently arranged it in the form of full fat milk.

Soya milk remains the most popular dairy milk substitute. It is made from soya beans so it’s actually a processed food but that doesn’t make it unhealthy, far from it - eating soya has been shown to benefit health in a number of ways. Just choose the non-sweetened variety, as many options have sugar added for improved flavour.

“milk is a great source of calcium and vitamin D” Having said that, some people suffer from a number of unpleasant symptoms due to genuine lactose intolerance as they lack the enzyme called lactase (lactase breaks down the natural sugar in dairy milk). While only a fraction of the UK population is affected, dairy intolerance is much more prevalent among the natives in Asia, Africa and South America.

Other alternatives include almond milk with its subtle nutty flavour of almonds; the naturally sweet rice milk, and also hemp milk with its high content of Omega 3 - all have become less expensive due to popular demand.

Recently, coconut milk has made something of a comeback, not least for its health benefits. It is packed with nutrients and although it is a little high in fat, it is the good kind so it provides a great addition to anyone’s diet, lactose intolerant or not. The unique taste of coconut will easily convince even the more reluctant palate, just ask anyone holding a glass of piña colada!

If you are among the unlucky lactose intolerant population, or simply don’t like the taste of dairy milk, things have come a long way since the powdery taste of soya milk, and there is a great of choice of other alternatives.

Take goat’s milk, for instance. People with lactose intolerance are often able to drink it with no adverse effects. Okay, so the flavour is a little stronger than cow’s milk and it may take some getting used to, but it’s like learning to love olives or avocado – you may not like it the first time, but if you try again (and again), you’ll most likely grow to like it.

Herbal Teas

Peppermint Does it take a double shot of espresso to get you going in the morning?

Or do you need two mugs of tea before you are ready to face the world?

You may have heard the advice against propping up a tired body with caffeine – your adrenal glands can only take so much – but if you really cannot live without holding a hot drink in your hands first thing in the morning, why not try herbal tea?

Admittedly, some flavours can be a bit of an acquired taste, but peppermint tea is quite delicious, in a soft, gentle sort of way, and it’s good for you too. In fact, peppermint tea is credited with aiding digestion, soothing the stomach lining, as well as relieving gas, bloating and constipation.

Menthol, which gives peppermint its characteristic taste and scent, is also a muscle relaxant, so it promotes relaxation and restful sleep – think of it as stress management in a cup.

If you are suffering from a blocked nose, whether it’s due to hayfever or a cold, simply inhaling the vapours of peppermint tea will ease nasal congestion and relieve the pressure in your sinuses. Meanwhile, drinking the hot tea will soothe an irritated throat.

The anti-inflammatory properties of peppermint help soothe the skin (and spots0, so whether you drink it, apply it to problem skin with a cotton pad or add it to your bath, your skin will thank you.

Tea bags versus fresh leaves Cheap, commercially available tea bags contain very little of peppermint’s natural goodness, although some more expensive brands have improved on this. However, to harness the full power of peppermint, grow it yourself – ideally outdoors in a larger container, or indoors on the windowsill. It is very easy to grow from the little pots sold in supermarkets and garden centres, and the plant comes back every year. Over time the stems become a bit woody so the best solution is to take the plant out of the pot in the spring and separate the clumps, only keeping the best. Add some fresh compost, and keep watering.

A word of warning... don’t plant directly into one of your lovely flowerbeds – before you know it, the peppermint will overtake your garden!

How to prepare fresh peppermint tea...

Always use freshly picked leaves – only the leaves though, without ste m, and there is no need to chop them. Bo il the kettle and let the water cool a little, then pour over the leaves in a cup or mug.

Cover with a glass or porcelain saucer and leave for a few minutes. Drink hot, warm or cold.

By the way... you can eat the leaves.

Even better, add a few to a refreshing salad.
