Let me guess... the last two months have forced you out of routine! Now as things are slowly beginning to return to normal, we have put together 5 top tips to aid you in living the healthy lifestyle we all desire.

Write a Weekly Menu Plan Here is an interesting fact, the average household in the UK throws out 10% of the food from the weekly shop. This happens because people buy food and products they don’t need, due to failing to plan each meal. Instead, we advise that before you go shopping, write a food list based on the healthy, nutritious meals you will be eating from your weekly menu plan. That way, you will not feel tempted to purchase any ‘naughty’ snacks.
Kill the Snacking Have your breakfasts become early lunches? Have your dinners become larger with a few added snacks in-between? If so, we advise that you set an eating routine to ensure you are eating the correct foods at the right time, while providing your body with enough calories and nutrients to support your goals.
3 Take Supplements The three essential supplements that are perfect for staying healthy this summer are those that will reduce any deficiencies, limit inflammation, and improve your immunity. The most beneficial vitamins are Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Vitamin B2.

Working out with friends or family can be fun and motivating. As long as it’s safe to do so, exercise with others, as it’s a great way to keep fit, and have fun at the same time. Alternatively, why not try an online fitness class - or arrange a video-chat exercise session with friends!
Evening/Morning Walks Walking is simple, yet powerful. It can help you stay trim, improve cholesterol, strengthen bones while also lifting your mood. Walking 30 – 60 minutes a day will increase your physical activity and will help you burn further calories.
Getting back on track doesn’t have to be difficult, follow the five simple steps above, and you will be fighting fit again in no time! To advertise here call 01730 260746 or email sales@thedirectorygroup.co.uk

Chernobyl Children’s Lifeline (CCLL) is a local registered charity based near Alton, which support thousands of children and their families who are affected by the aftermath of the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster in 1986. Established in 1992, the charity works with Belarusian and Ukrainian partners and local groups throughout the UK to bring child victims to the UK for recuperative breaks at host families homes in areas such as Havant, Waterlooville and Chichester. These breaks allow for time away from the high radiation levels of Chernobyl, so that the children can enjoy uncontaminated food, breath clean air, and give their immune systems a chance to recharge. Since the charity began, nearly fifty thousand children and young adults have benefited from staying with host families. But it doesn’t stop there. The charity also donates towards the child’s on-going needs and provide basic supplies and healthcare products including school uniforms, stationery, learning aids, special needs items, clothing, shoes and toiletries; ready for their return to Ukraine. For the children who are too sick to travel, the CCLL works with partners to provide help in regions throughout Ukraine, such as chemotherapy medicines to Children’s Cancer Hospitals.
Now more than ever, the people of Ukraine and the CCLL charity are asking for your help. The 26th April 2020 saw the 34th Anniversary of the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster, a catastrophe what has and will have devastating physical and psychological effects on the people of Belarus and Ukraine for hundreds, if not, thousands of years. The extreme levels of contamination caused by the disaster has caused children to be particularly susceptible to radiation-induced illnesses such as leukaemia, other cancers and deformities. As well as this, the immune systems of most children have been severely compromised by living in this environment. Now more than ever, the people of Ukraine and the CCLL charity are asking for your help. Since 4th April 2020, wildfires have burnt through woodlands, marshlands and villages throughout Ukraine, approximately four times the size of Hampshire, including within Chernobyl’s exclusion zone. These contaminated area, which had once

Since the charity began, nearly fifty thousand children and young adults have benefited. absorbed the nuclear contamination since the disaster, are now releasing radiation back into the atmosphere as they continue to burn, causing ongoing detrimental effects. To add, along with the rest of the world, Ukraine is feeling the effects of the Coronavirus epidemic. With a weaker immune system, Coronavirus proposes a harsh threat to the families and children of Chernobyl who suffer from compromised immune systems. The gut-wrenching
wildfires have destroyed villages and medical units throughout the north of Ukraine. Locals have set up temporary beds to help house patients suffering from Coronavirus, however with minimal supplies, there is often just one piece of paediatric equipment to help treat the virus for every 120 patients.
How you can help the Chernobyl Children... Any donation, big or small, is hugely appreciated! Over the past months, it is no secret that people of the UK have shown an overwhelming sense of generosity, showing the amazing things we can do to help one another when we come together. Simon Butler, owner of The Barn Store, based at the Lavender Fields/ Hartley Park Business Centre in Selbourne near Alton, and long term supporter of the CCLL has been fundraising to bring children over to the UK. During their stay with a host family, children will enjoy uncontaminated food and fresh air, fun activities, site seeing and even trips to the dentist and opticians! The Barn-Store Fareham and Winchester are kindly helping towards the cost of promoting this charity drive.
www.barn-store.co.uk Simon has pledged to donate £600, which covers the fee’s for one child to visit the UK. Here at The Directory Group, we are asking the warm hearts of our readers to show their kindness and generosity and help us raise enough funds to bring five more children over to host families in the UK once it is deemed safe in 2021. Any donation, big or small, is hugely appreciated! Please visit Simon’s page to make a donation, and help give hope to the suffering people of Chernobyl: https://bit.ly/2W40mJa Or contact The Directory Group to organise how you can donate in other ways.

June is a perfect time to make beautiful flower displays in your hanging baskets too. When making a hanging basket, do not to fill it right up to the top with compost - leave a small gap to allow for watering. Keep picking your delicious fruit! Whilst doing so inspect fruit bushes and trees for pest and diseases, and try to catch them early. It may be necessary to use a cage or netting to prevent birds from pinching the fruit from unprotected plants. Continue to make time to mow – if you can, mow once a week. Similarly, keep watering as the weather warms up – ideally give your garden a big drink weekly. Remember, although it is summer, this is England – so if frost is forecast it is important to keep vulnerable plants protected at night.
