There is, thank goodness, an answer to this problem in the form of a permanent cure. Not only will it alleviate the worry of expensive replacement of rotten timbers, but also eliminate the need for repainting every few years.

Should you brush your teeth before or after eating?

Dr Fuz Jamall from Pennington Dental explains why timing is important for strong teeth

T

raditionally we were taught to brush our teeth after we had eaten, and this is still correct, especially after sugary foods.

However if you are eating or drinking acidic foods, particularly orange juice, you could actually damage your teeth by cleaning them straight away. You’ll end up spreading the acid all around your teeth and increasing the harm done.

If you brush your teeth before breakfast this removes the plaque and bacteria that have built up over night (not a nice thought we know, but that’s what happens). This means they aren’t there to

react with the food and drink you have at breakfast time, protecting your teeth. When you finish your breakfast rinse your mouth around with water. Leave at least 30 minutes after consuming acidic food or drink before cleaning your teeth.

By far the most important thing is establishing a good routine and cleaning regularly, particularly for young children. Good habits last a lifetime, and will help your teeth do the same!

Here are our top toothbrushing tips: • Brush your teeth for two minutes at least twice a day • Make sure you brush each tooth on every surface • Don’t forget to floss • Visit the dentist and hygienist regularly, at Pennington Dental we advise how often you should attend, not everyone needs to come every six months.

SUMMER...

the only qualified trainer in ello my name is IEMT in Warwickshire and Rob Brennan and the West Midlands. It’s I’ve recently opened my IEMT that I will primarily Therapy and Coaching address today. practice here in Leamington Spa. I’ve trained in NLP (Neuro Research shows that Linguistic Programming), people who are EFT (Emotional Freedom experiencing some form Techniques) and more of emotional, traumatic or in the comfort of your own home recently in IEMT (Integral behavioural problem can Eye Movement Therapy) take up to 2 years from the latter of which I’m so recognising the problem to email: saraluisaberte@gmail.com excited about I took the actually seeking help. One Trainers Training and am of the major stumbling

your first treatment

Book before 30th July to qualify blocks is actually having to talk about it, this is especially true with traumatic events.

With our new way of approaching therapy in IEMT, if the client chooses, he or she no longer needs to talk about the events leading up to or surrounding the negative emotions or state of mind they now find themselves in – this is a great bonus and allows us to seek assistance a lot earlier than might otherwise happen.

So what happens in a typical consultation? Well, you get to not talk about the problem, I get to ask very specific but nonintrusive questions and I ask you to move your eyes in a specific set of patterns

and more often than not changes occur.

The IEMT tag line is ‘Change In The Blink Of An Eye’ and whilst some clients have experienced major positive shifts in a short period of time naturally nothing is guaranteed but if you’ve tried other therapies and interventions and still feel things haven’t changed or if you are reaching out for the first time I’d love for you to consider IEMT. With over 10 years in the world of coaching and brief change therapies I’m excited about what can be achieved with IEMT and I think you will be too.

Do You Want To Improve Your Gardening Skills?

A

qualification from the Royal Horticultural Society could give you confidence - or even start you off in a new career in garden maintenance or design.

Many students have used their qualifications to move into new careers – two students have gone on to join the elite Kew Diploma course, some have set up in business for themselves or gone on to work in public gardens. Others just enjoy the chance to learn something new, and to perfect their gardening techniques.

www.expressadvertisers.co.uk t: 01926 815935

Would you like to Wildlife learn to garden to Walks and RHS standards way learnthis about the principles behind successful gardening?

Are you thinking about making horticulture a career, rather than a hobby?

The RHS Practical courses are assessed - there are no examinations, so no stress. Level 2 is the starting point: you watch a demonstration of the most effective way to carry out a task like taking cuttings or drawing a seed drill, and then you practise until your assessor thinks you are competent. You learn week by week to identify a range of plants, pests and diseases, and at the end of the course, if you pass all the assessments, the RHS awards you a Level 2 Certificate.

If you want to take your skills further, you can progress onto a Level 3 course.

If you want to learn more about the ‘Why’ behind the ‘How ’, then the RHS theory courses in Plant Growth and Garden Planning can give you the background information that makes sense of garden techniques – why you prune Forsythia in June and Buddleja in February, and apples, when they are dormant to promote fruiting?

For details of all the courses on offer, including Garden Design Workshops and Propagation Days, visit BEST in Horticulture’s website www.bestinhorticulture.co.uk.

Who are BEST?

In 2012 former horticultural college lecturers formed BEST in Horticulture to teach RHS practical and theory courses at Ryton Organic Gardens, as well as offering online and correspondence courses for RHS qualifications.

In January 2016 The Academy of Practical Horticulture was formed, as part of the BEST Group, to concentrate on ‘face-to-face’ teaching at three sites across Warwickshire and Oxfordshire.

Can Ballroom Dancing reduce the risk of Dementia?

t

here seems little doubt that exercise has a positive effect on our mental and physical wellbeing and we have advised (and advised again) by healthcare professionals that exercise is the way forward to enjoy a healthier and longer life.

More interestingly though according to the “Leisure Activity” study conducted in New York in 2003, the benefits go on further; ballroom dancing has been shown to be beneficial in its ability to reduce the risk of dementia. While the exact reasons for this finding are not known, speculation is that in addition to being an aerobic activity, dancing uses “brain power” to memorise steps and also has a social component which may contribute to the benefit for the brain by boosting mood.

Guidelines from the NHS for 19-64 year olds to remain healthy should do at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity each week and

strength exercises on two or more days a week.

For more information see www.nhs.co.uk Whatever form of movement you choose, be sure to do it on a regular basis. Seek the guidance of a health care professional if you have been sedentary before embarking on a new program.

Like other moderate, low-impact, weight bearing activities, such as walking, dancing can help: • Strengthen bones and muscles • Tone your entire body • Improve your posture and balance, which can prevent falls • Increase your stamina and flexibility • Reduce stress, tension and bring a sense of wellbeing • Build confidence • Provide social interaction • Help prevent illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, osteoporosis, and depression

Create a splash with a complete new look Home Makeover Experts Launch Warwick Showroom

K

itchen and bathroom remodelling are high on the list of desirable home improvements, often adding more value to the property than the cost of installation.

Granite Transformations helped pioneer affordable kitchen makeovers, with its ‘fitted in one day’ pledge, and is now turning its attention to bathroom upgrades, applying the same successful formula of high quality refinishing materials, top quality workmanship from its nationwide chain of showrooms, and hassle-free total renovations.

Properties built in the heydays of the nineties and noughties are now showing signs of bathroom ‘fashion

fatigue’, so luxurious new refinishing materials and the latest fixtures and fittings will bring bathing facilities bang up-to-date, including perhaps a fashionable walk-in shower room. Owners of older housing can replace faded and worn fixtures and décor with modern bathroom styles, an extra ensuite and a downstairs cloakroom that all add further selling points to a property.

Affordability is one key to Granite Transformations market success The key to Granite Transformations’ makeover package has always been its exclusive collections of beautiful, decorative, fully water-resistant materials that are mostly designed to fit right over existing surfaces, saving demolition, debris and disruption. Its quarter-inch thick agglomerate slabs in granite, quartz, recycled glass and porcelain finishes make for beautiful seamless shower liners, bathroom

backsplashes, vanity countertops and hard flooring tiles, in over 50 desirable colours. Meantime, its Trend glass mosaics lend themselves to dado-height tile borders, decorative wall features and eyecatching colour statements in smaller bathrooms and cloaks, with a choice extending from classic subway formats to exclusive designer collections.It can also draw upon luxury bathroom collections from top brand Roca and elegant accessibility aids from HEWI, as well as other high quality sanitaryware suppliers, to provide a complete remodelling solution.

Through a growing network of showrooms, each with its own fabrication workshops, design consultants and expert fitters, Granite Transformations is able to offer bathroom remodelling in a timeframe that’s shorter than complete refits and at prices that are highly competitive.

We can even fit a carpet that will look like a freshly mowed lawn in the middle of summer with a mixture of green fibres and beige to give that thatched look. We use a new monofilament fibre so the feel of the carpet is soft to the touch and friendlier to animals.

...perfect for ch ildren’s play areas!
