Give yourself the gift of rest this festive season!
Sleep is essential for managing stress, regulating emotions, and boosting cognitive function.
Try sipping chamomile tea, reading a Christmas book, & sticking to a consistent bedtime.

Social connections are linked to better mood, lower stress and a stronger sense of wellbeing.
This season, tiny actions - reaching out, joining local activities, or creating a simple tradition - can make a real difference.
What helps you stay connected at this time of year?

Look after your gut health this Christmas 🎄
The festive season often means our eating patterns shift — lots of social plans, lots of food and drink, and our gut health can take the hit.
Enjoy the season while supporting your gut — it really does make a difference!

Sardines and mackerel are bursting with brain-boosting omega-3s - often more than salmon! 🐟
They are:
✨Anti-inflammatory
✨Full of calcium, vitamin D, and B12
✨Budget-friendly and convenient
Add them to salads, pasta, or toast for an easy, nutrient-packed meal!

Loneliness isn’t just emotional — it changes your body and brain:
1️⃣ Raises stress (↑ cortisol → anxiety, poor sleep)
2️⃣ Triggers inflammation (affects mood chemicals)
3️⃣ Disrupts sleep & reward systems
Even small social moments can help protect your mind 🫂
