Maintaining

A Healthy Lifestyle

Perhaps the most obvious advice is to keep fit by regularly working out!

However, as we all know, it can be difficult to accomplish especially with the busy lifestyles some of us lead. To become more physically active, we advise that you should conduct low-impact training that ties into your day seamlessly.

This summer, picking your own crops amongst local farms have become a popular activity within Hampshire.

Committing to a healthy diet is also vital when leading a healthy lifestyle. Not only should you eat the correct foods, but you should also select foods that are clean, fresh and good for our bodies. By this, we mean investing in foods that are additive-free. It is by eating whole foods, mainly from the earth without preservatives, added sugar, sodium and chemical flavourings that you can aim to insert the correct goodness into your bodies.

This style of eating can be challenging to achieve in today’s food culture. However, there are avenues you can select to assure you are receiving the appropriate nutritional intake.

This summer, picking your crops amongst local

farms have become a favourite activity within Hampshire. Today, it is more about people having the experience of actually pulling the fruit and understanding where the food originates from.

This procedure encourages people to make healthier food choices.

Also, buying locally avoids oversea contaminates such as pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. You will find yourself trailing through beautiful greenery while enjoying the beautiful countryside that surrounds Hampshire. Not to mention it is more environmentally friendly and supports your local economy!

The older you get, the more you will see your body responding positively to the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

To discover additional ways to live a healthy lifestyle we have created a beautiful editorial in this months edition where you can find lovely smoothie recipes that aim to add to your nutritional intake this summer!

At TDG we are passionate about supporting our local community!

Always Remember,

Living a healthy lifestyle isn’t a trend, it’s a lifestyle.

your imagination by remembering as much as you can of the situation in which the learning took place.

4. Sleep on it

Inspired by Ian Dickson’s Blog

Read more about this topic online, and other business relating tips, at www.iandickson.co.uk/my-blog/ Memory is one of the most valuable functions our brain has! So, it’s no wonder that we’re always on the lookout for ways to improve it! The following is a list of strategies that have worked for many people.

1. Use Organisation Techniques Organize information in a meaningful pattern that shows how each item relates to each other. This can be practised through graphs, tables and even lists.

2. Don’t Procrastinate The longer you wait to do something, the more difficult it will be to get it done. If you want your life to be less stressful and less demanding, then organize as soon as you can. Putting in the effort to get things done as soon as possible will lift the weight off of you from doing it later.

3. When struggling, try to reconstruct the context

Sleep triggers changes in the brain that solidify memories which strengthen connections between brain cells and transferring information from one brain region to another. Researchers have tested this process by teaching people new skills and then scanning their brains after a period with or without sleep.

Remember a flexible memory system is best. The essential elements of successful memory work also include the following: • Be organised. Information that is organised is easier to find.

• Be physical. Learning is an active process. Get all of your senses involved.

• Be clear. You can reduce the background noise that may interfere with the recall.

• Be smart. Intelligent application of memory techniques can save work.

Annual Tea Party with the Rosemary Foundation

Hayling Tree Care All aspects of tree work • Tree felling • Hedges • Crown reductions • Crown re-shaping

• Stump grinding • Fencing • Soft landscaping • Green waste

General garden maintenance

Staff and volunteers from The Rosemary Foundation took time out to bake cakes and make tea at their second annual tea party in East Meon Village Hall in June.

Over 100 guests came to raise money for the foundation, which provides a “Hospice at Home” service for people in East Hampshire for people with life limiting conditions. Guests included the expected such as Anthony Williams, Chairman of East Hampshire District Council, and the unexpected.

Nurse Claire Dunn explained: “It was a hot day and a rambler passing by asked for a cup of tea and some cake. He was happy to pay the £5 entry fee.” Claire added: “It was a very successful, happy and well attended event. There was lots of love in the room and we had a number of bereaved families, one wanting to pass on money they’d raised.” £3,500 was raised in all, including £1,500 from Leydene nurseryman Eric Gent who grows and sells plants for the charity.

The West Meon Music Festival on 14-16 September has also chosen The Rosemary Foundation as its sponsored charity.

Meon Valley • August 2018 Edition

We would love to hear your local community news stories please email them to danni@thedirectorygroup.co.uk Closing date for the next edition is 17.08.18

CINEMA AND TELEVISION, SPECIAL EFFECTS STUDIO, COULD BE OPENING IN MEON VALLEY A creative arts entrepreneur and former South Downs College Student Ben is currently bidding to create a cinema and television special effects production studio.

Ben, has already spent a few years in the industry, working as a health and safety runner on film sets and has performed in ‘minor level’ stunt acting.

He believes that the film industry is failing to keep up with the demand of green screen studios and believes that there is a gap in the market for the studio and the facility’s it has to offer. Film production in the UK has

nearly tripled over the last ten years, Disney alone has previously booked out Pinewood studios for the foreseeable future!

Ben is confident that the demand is there to make his new venture a success whilst also allowing Meon Valley to be apart part of the British film industry.

You will be pleased to know that, the 100-square metre green screen has already received the thumbs-up following an inspection by representatives from the film industry. Ben is now excited with what the future holds!

The Studios will be situated at The Old Hambledon Racecourse Centre.
