HOROSCOPES Aries

(March 21 - April 19)

An analysis of your indicators for this period reveal that you will be mentally alert and switched on to life in general. You will find life invigorating and challenges in work will excite you and make you want to stand out from the crowd. Your voice will be heard by senior people and your talents will be noted.

Taurus

(April 20 - May 20)

Gemini

(May 21 - June 20)

Cancer

(June 21 - July 22)

There could be a serious flirtation going on at work. Certainly, your heart will be fluttering and there will be butterflies in your stomach. You may toy with the idea of starting an affair. The magnetism of one person will be very strong and equally hard to resist. This is a time for relaxing and taking life easy. A last-minute getaway would do you the world of good. You may suddenly feel tired or on the point of exhaustion, so there has never been a better time to take time out. Money will flow easily this month and you will have plenty to spend on the things you enjoy. This is a good time to take stock of your finances. You may have overspent in the last couple of weeks, which means you have little rainy day money. If you take the time to plan your spending more carefully, you could be surprised by how much you can save by simply sticking to a plan.

Leo

(July 23 - August 22)

You will be very busy with stuff, sorting through your own things as well as those of other people. You might have dealings with certain humanitarian causes where your past efforts will be recognised and rewarded. You could also be offered a leadership role, an award, a promotion or a pay rise.

Virgo

(August 23 - September 22)

You could encounter some rather unexpected changes to your career path. Out of the blue you might be offered a new position. It will not be one you have applied for so it might come as a bit of a shock. If your love-life has been lacking lustre then this is the time when there will be fireworks again!

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

There could be a few niggles ahead as you try to keep a healthy work/life balance. You risk struggling to keep yourself from flying off the handle with work colleagues who lack your conviction. This horoscope period could prove physically, mentally and psychologically draining, so try to keep a clear and cool head.

Scorpio

(October 23 - November 21)

You will feel more like yourself because your stress levels will have reduced. You could be inclined to embark on a strict diet where you are promised results very quickly. Don’t be too easily fooled. With a sensible regime and regular exercise, you can easily achieve your desired results.

Sagittarius

(November 22 - December 21)

You will seem more energetic and ready to explore new horizons. Travel is forecast, on both the work and home front. You might become interested in a job relocation opportunity which suddenly arises. It is an excellent month to look at your diet and cut down on the junk food and fizzy drinks.

Capricorn

(December 22 - January 19)

This is another very positive time for Rams. You may want to start a new business to show off your expertise. There will be many persuasive people who feel they can gain from following your lead. You have built quite a reputation around you and others will seek you out for advice.

Aquarius

(January 20 - February 18)

Wow! What a lucky period for Aquarians! Now is the time to preen yourself and take centre stage. Get your hair done, buy yourself some new clothes and dedicate this month to making yourself look fabulous. Time will fly by like a whirlwind and you may feel that you don’t quite know what’s hit you.

Pisces

(February 19 - March 20)

You will be celebrating your finances, since all your investments are doing well and you have nothing to worry about. Your income remains steady and you will be able to see how your past financial planning has paid dividends. You may feel an increase in your psychic awareness and innate psychic abilities.

The benefits of yoga With Christine from Harmony Yoga

Hello Readers, My name is Christine from Harmony Yoga and in this first edition I will be talking about yoga and the benefits it can offer us. There are several different styles of yoga, some more intense than others. One of the most popular is Hatha yoga, which is an excellent style to start with given its gentle yet very effective nature. With regular practice you will develop

flexibility, strength and clarity in all areas of your life. It is a lifestyle as opposed to just another form of exercise and is hugely beneficial to not just the physical body but to the mind and spirit too. In each issue we will be introducing a yoga pose for you to practice at home and it doesn’t matter what age you start at - just start.

forearms on the top with the palms facing upwards with the thumbs and forefingers coming together in a circle. Inhale deeply through the nose and out through the nose, repeat this ten times (Yogic breathing is always through the nose only). Allow the entire body to soften and relax - really acknowledge and feel how the body is

I offer one-to-one yoga sessions for beginners which are tailored to your individual needs and goals, working at your own pace without the pressure you can sometimes experience in a class environment. Please feel free to contact me for further information or with any questions that you may have at:

Sitting in a chair There are two things to remember when sitting and they are to sit upright keeping the head, neck and back inline and to ensure that you are comfortable and relaxed. You may not think that sitting straight and upright is relaxing, but many back problems are caused by poor and incorrect posture. Once this is corrected and your body becomes accustomed to unconsciously adopting this stance many problems can be eased. Start by sitting in your chair, slightly away from the backrest - this will make sure that your spine is straight. Rest the feet on some books or a blanket if needed. Fold or roll a blanket and lay across the thighs and place the

Next time we will explore another chair pose - Relaxing Forward Bend. I started yoga practice several years ago after a friend boughtme a DVD and book. Since then I gained my teaching certificate’s in Hatha yoga, Yoga therapy and Mindfulness, Movement and Meditation and have never looked back. Yoga can and will bring about positive changes within and empower us to take responsibility for our own health and wellbeing, which is so important now more than ever.

Until next time, Namaste - I salute you. x

responding to the practice. Life is so busy and hectic we all too often disregard what our bodies are trying to tell us. Be mindful of the moment - life will begin to be so much richer for it. Practice this pose at anytime and as often as you wish - it will naturally become part of your day-to-day routine. To advertise text advert to 07868 433 225

Health

10 stress-related health problems eed another thing to get stressed out about? Your stress itself could be making you sick. Stress seems to worsen or increase the risk of conditions like obesity, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, depression, gastrointestinal problems and asthma. What are some of the most significant health problems related to stress? Here are ten examples:

1. Heart disease Researchers have long suspected that those with a 'stressed-out' type of personality have a higher risk of high blood pressure and heart problems. Stress can directly increase heart rate and blood flow, causing the release of cholesterol and triglycerides into the blood stream. It's also possible that stress is related to other problems - an increased likelihood of smoking or obesity - that indirectly increase the heart risks. Sudden emotional stress can also be a trigger for serious cardiac problems, including heart attacks. People who have chronic heart problems need to avoid acute stress as much as they can.

2. Asthma Many studies have shown that stress can worsen asthma. Some evidence suggests that a parent's chronic stress might even increase the risk of developing asthma in their children. One study looked at how parental stress affected the asthma rates of young children who were also exposed to air pollution or whose mothers smoked during pregnancy. The children with stressed parents had a substantially higher risk of developing asthma.

3. Obesity Excess fat in the belly seems to pose greater health risks than fat on the legs or hips - and unfortunately, that's just where people with high stress seem to store it. Stress causes higher levels of the hormone cortisol, and that seems to increase the amount of fat that's deposited in the abdomen.

4. Diabetes Stress can worsen diabetes in two ways. First, it increases the likelihood of bad behaviours, such as unhealthy eating and excessive drinking. Second, stress seems to raise the glucose levels of people with type 2 diabetes directly.

5. Headaches Stress is considered one of the most common triggers for headaches - not just tension headaches, but migraines as well.

6. Depression and anxiety Chronic stress is connected with higher rates of depression and anxiety.

One survey of recent studies found that people who had stress related to their jobs - like demanding work with few rewards - had an 80% higher risk of developing depression within a few years than people with lower stress.

7. Gastrointestinal problems One thing that stress doesn't do is cause ulcers. However, it can make them worse. Stress is also a factor in conditions such as chronic heartburn (or gastroesophageal reflux disease, GERD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Winner says.

8. Alzheimer's disease One animal study found that stress might worsen Alzheimer's disease, causing its brain lesions to form more quickly. Some researchers speculate that reducing stress has the potential to slow down the progression of the disease.

9. Accelerated ageing There's actually evidence that stress can affect how you age. One study compared the DNA of mothers who were caring for a chronically ill child with women who were not. Researchers found that a particular region of the chromosomes showed the effects of accelerated aging. Stress seemed to accelerate aging about 9 to 17 additional years.

10. Premature death A study looked at the health effects of stress by studying elderly caregivers looking after their spouses - people who are naturally under a great deal of stress. It found that caregivers had a 63% higher rate of death than people their age who were not caregivers.

In our next issue we look at various ways of relieving stress. To advertise text advert to 07868 433 225

Adventures in the Algarve

20 0 2 ys a d i Hol

olidays in the Algarve step up to the plate in every department. In beach terms, the place is like royalty, and the supporting cast of fairways and family attractions is on the money, too. It’s impossible to pick fault with the Algarve’s kid-friendly CV. Every beach comes with a full range of watersports, and the eating out scene juggles home favourites with Portuguese seafood and fiery piri-piri chicken. Theme and waterparks are in good supply and there are go-karting tracks, zoos and little and large golf courses. The whole lot’s propped up by a spread of family-focused hotels.

Watersports in Alvor

Alvor Alvor may only be a small fishing village, but it can run with the Algarve’s big boys. There are two waterfront scenes here - one by the sea, the other by the river. Both are packed with cafés, bars and shops. On top of that, it’s got great family-friendly credentials, with a Jurassic Park-style minigolf course and a playground where Alvor’s castle once stood.

12

This place has a boardwalk to rival all boardwalks. Length-wise, it racks up almost two miles, and if you walk right to the end and you can get a good look at the numerous migrating birds. Alternatively, you can hit the waters on a dolphin-spotting boat trip. Along the way, they usually drop anchor at some atmospheric caves, a sand bank and Lagos, too.

Alvor’s beaches come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. First off, you’ve got a decent crop of long, golden-sand numbers. There’s one by the harbour, where fishing boats sunbathe on the sands, but the other’s a real whopper. It goes on for miles - the further you go, the more off-the-grid it gets. And the Blue Flag is the cherry on top. Round to the east, the coastline’s puckered with a shedload of cliff-backed coves.

Please mention Inside Skegness Magazine when responding to advertisements

Albufeira The Algarve’s in the business of Blue Flag beaches - and Albufeira waves a massive 25 of them. It’s probably how it got its crown as the region’s number one. It combines a whitewashed old town and a new, bar-packed strip. Plus, it’s got a mammoth beach for a doormat. Albufeira’s not your typical Portuguese fishing village. There’s a charming, cobblestoned centre with live music in the squares and warren-like back streets lined with restaurants and bars. But it’s added a new town to its books, as well, with a strip to rival Vegas.

The strip at São João

You can get an escalator down to Fisherman’s Beach - the huge one near the old town. A few fishing boats are still parked on the golden sands, but they’re joined by restaurants, a watersports centre and an inflatable obstacle course. Head along the coast and you can tot up even more sandy stretches.

Forte de São João Baptista

São João São João is the resort that put Portugal’s Algarve Coast on the tourist map, with jet-setters heading for the beach. São João’s stretch - one of 25 in Albufeira - is a cliff-hugged, kilometre-long swathe of sand that’s the colour of honey. Nightlife and São João go hand in hand, thanks to The Strip. Waypoints along this long road come in the form of the bars’ flashing neon signs and menu boards in front of every restaurant. Split into two parts, the south end is where you’ll be heading for late-night drinks and dancing. The north end has a calmer atmosphere, with designer boutiques and classy wine bars.

Acoteias Açoteias is a real Portuguese escape from modern life. Tucked away from hectic Albufeira, this pretty place has held onto its authenticity. Expect cosy restaurants, laidback bars and old-world buildings as you wander the streets. Freshly caught fish comes as standard here, so prepare to eat like a royal.

Alvor’s beaches

Albufeira

Faro is an easy 30-minute drive away, making it ideal daytrip material. Wander the cobbled streets of the old town, stopping to admire the 18th-century buildings and historic cathedral. Don’t miss the eerie Bone Chapel, or Capela dos Ossos, which is filled with thousands of human bones. To advertise text advert to 07868 433 225

Preparing your lawn for Autumn and Winter

A

fter a long summer of getting the best out of your lawn, it is time to start preparing it for winter. There are a few simple steps that you can take to ensure that it stays looking green and healthy for those cosy autumn evenings - and ready to bounce right back in the spring.

Autumn is the perfect time of year to start again with your lawn treatment as the soil temperature is still warm enough to stimulate grass growth. Here are some tips on how to maintain your lawn in autumn…

1. Scarify Scarifying is when you rake your lawn to reduce the layers of thatch. Thatch is a collection of debris such as dead grass and old moss that can prevent water and fertiliser from getting through to the roots and soil. Autumn is a great time to scarify as you can rake a little deeper than if you were to do it in spring when you would have to be more delicate due to the young growth.

2. Trim back lawn and bed edges During the summer your lawn edges may have gotten a little bit overgrown, which makes this the perfect time of year to trim back your garden edges. For edges in beds where the soil is neatly trimmed but the grass has grown over horizontally, use lawn scissors to cut back the grass. Don’t forget to pick up the cuttings from the bed. For edges that are not

roots. Aeration will also help your lawn survive more extreme conditions such as waterlogging or drought.

5. Fork compacted areas

Gardens straight use a plank of wood like a giant ruler with a spade and trim along for a perfect straight edge. Again, don’t forget to collect the trimmings.

3. Flatten and roll uneven areas If you’ve had children and pets playing on the lawn during the summer, or perhaps it is just an area that has been neglected and become uneven, you should consider flattening it down to ensure you don’t have any flooding or dry spots when the winter rains set in. For areas that are particularly bumpy, you can use a half moon edging iron (or a spade if you don’t have one) and shave the ground level. Once you have done this, aerate the soil underneath with a fork and re-lay turf level to the rest of the lawn. Dips/troughs in the garden should also follow this process until the whole lawn is level.

4. Aerate your lawn Aeration is a cornerstone to having a well-maintained lawn. The process of aerating is essentially spiking the lawn to allow for more air (and nutrients including water) to get to the grass

Areas of the lawn that get heavy traffic in the summer will be very compacted and will need forking to break up the soil and improve the drainage when the rain starts to pour. Ensure that you push the fork four to six inches in to the ground to get the proper aeration and drainage.

6. Apply top dressing Once the lawn is flat and aerated, it’s time to put some top dressing down. We recommend using Miracle-Gro EverGreen Lawn Dressing. Top dressing improves soil structure and encourages strong root development so helps to support a healthy lawn. Spread the lawn dressing evenly over the grass with the back of a rake, working it well into the holes created by spiking.

7. Apply autumn lawn weed and feed product Once your lawn is treated and in pristine condition, it’s important to get some lawn feed down to ensure that the roots are still growing strong throughout the winter. You should use a different lawn fertiliser in autumn that you would use when you are preparing your garden in spring. We recommend using either Miracle-Gro EverGreen Autumn Lawn Care or

Miracle-Gro EverGreen Premium Plus Autumn & Spring Lawn Food.

Your 30-minute lunch time home workout

G

oing to the gym or for a run in the park is something that millions of us rely on every single day, and with pretty much every kind of facility closed, that task has become almost impossible.

The best thing to do in a time like this is to stick to as regular a routine as possible, and that includes carving out time for a lunch break so that you can enjoy a 30 minute exercise regime to stay in shape!

can do at home that is better than a good old fashioned plank. Try to hold a classic plank position for one minute without breaking the pose, but in this quarantine time you certainly have time to work on perfecting it, so don’t be embarrassed if you have to rest on a knee before that minute is up to start with!

3. Reverse lunges A reverse lunge will work out the hamstrings, the glutes, the abdominals, and the quads, and compared to a

5. Burpees Burpees are a great move to a full body experience that really tests your entire cardiovascular system. It’s best to try these at the end of your 30 minutes, because if you start with them, the chances are that you won’t have much left in the tank for anything else! This combination of a press up followed by a star jump and then repeated is not for the fainthearted and doing as many as you can even for just one minute can be enough to really get the blood pumping and heart rate up.

Workout structure When it comes to fitting all of these exercises into a testing but achievable 30 minute routine, approach it like a HIIT (high intensity interval training) circuit and mix it up as you like. For example:

1. Squats Squats are such an effective workout. In one simple move, you are working out three major muscle groups: your quadriceps, your glutes and your hamstrings. The great thing about squats is that the impact of the move is determined by your own body weight, so technically if you are currently at a heavier weight, then you are putting yourself through a more intensive workout by lifting yourself with each dip and rise.

2. Plank It’s everyone’s favorite viral challenge to work on, but how strong really is your own plank game? If you are looking for something to strengthen your abdominals, your trunk, and your lower back, then there isn’t much you

normal forward lunge it is slightly more challenging because it requires a greater degree of balance to perfect. If you really want to test yourself, you should work on trying to incorporate an above head clap as you move back into the lunge as this brings some arm muscle action into play too!

4. Press-ups Ideal for the chest, torso, shoulders and triceps, press-ups, are about as classic as it gets in terms of no equipment exercises. Try to aim for as much military precision as possible with tucked elbows and lowering your chest all the way to the ground, but if you start to run out of steam there is no shame in opting for a few knee supported reps too. The main goal is to meet your target, no matter what combination of styles you have to use. To advertise text advert to 07868 433 225

Obedience training for dogs Part Four

In the first three parts we’ve given you some detailed advice on how to train your dog and provided information about how your dog might respond to these various training methods. This final part will sum up everything you’ve learned.

If you run into training challenges like these, just refresh your dog’s memory by making the skill a little easier for a few repetitions.

If you run into trouble, go back a few steps If you’re training your dog to do something new and you stop making progress, you may have increased the difficulty of the skill too quickly. Similarly, if you’re practicing a behaviour your dog hasn’t performed in a while and she seems a little rusty, she may need some help remembering what you want her to do.

and places as well as people do. If you teach your dog to sit on cue in your kitchen, you’ll have a beautifully kitchen-trained dog. But she might not understand what you mean when you ask her to sit in other locations. If you want your dog to perform new skills everywhere, you’ll need to practice them in multiple places - your home, your garden, out on walks, at friends’ houses, at the park and anywhere else you take your dog.

Use real rewards

Go back to a step that you know your dog can successfully perform, and practice that for a while before trying to increase difficulty again.

Practice everywhere, with everyone! If you learn that two plus two equals four in a classroom, you’ll take that information with you wherever you go. Dogs, however, learn very specifically and don’t automatically apply their knowledge in different situations

Be sure to reward your dog with things she truly finds rewarding. Some dogs will happily work for biscuits when training in your living room but ignore it if you’re training in the park. Because the park’s a more distracting environment, paying attention there is a harder job for dogs. Give her a reward worth working for, like small pieces of chicken or cheese, or a chance to run off-leash. Also keep in mind that what your dog considers rewarding at any given time may change. If she’s just eaten a big meal, a scratch behind the ears might be most rewarding. If she hasn’t eaten in a while, she’ll probably work enthusiastically for tasty treats.

... And finally, be patient! Training your dog will take time and effort - but it can also be a great deal of fun.

Motoring Services Guide

H

ere’s a puzzle: what has huge presence but is relatively small, and prolific yet far from banal? Okay, this is the Mercedes A Class review, so it’s a good shout that we’re referring to the smallest car with a threepointed star. Few would argue that the A Class doesn’t cut more of a dash on the road than many other family cars, and despite selling in inordinately big numbers, the A Class retains its lofty air of prestige that makes so many potential buyers think: “I want one.”

Performance and drive For diesel power, the A180d is your best bet. Its progressive power delivery is spread evenly through the rev range, and while it isn’t spectacularly quick outright (0-60mph in around 10 with the automatic gearbox) it still has more than enough oomph to sit happily in the outside lane.

Suspension and ride comfort The A Class takes a different approach from the generally firmer A3 and 1 Series. Its softer set-up makes it one of the comfiest family cars over pockmarked town roads and sleeping policemen; the trade-off is more float and bounce along crests and falls tackled at speed than its two premium rivals. Even the relatively sporty A250 model is no less comfortable than the cheapest models in the range, partly because it features a more sophisticated rear suspension setup.

Handling The A Class handles pretty well. Yes, there’s a bit of body lean through faster corners, but this happens so progressively that it never feels unstable. Even the steering impresses in the main; it builds weight naturally, and this, combined with its accuracy, means you can place the car easily on the road.

Package, that’s enlarged to 10.3in. When combined with a larger infotainment screen, both appear like one giant widescreen that stretches across more than half the width of the dashboard.

Sat nav and infotainment When it comes to infotainment technology, the A Class is right up there with the current BMW 1 Series on feature count. All versions have at least a 7.0in touchscreen, with sat-nav, a DAB radio and a couple of USB sockets included.

Passenger space You’re unlikely to grumble about space in the front, even if you tower over most of your friends and colleagues. The seats slide back a long way and there’s plenty of head room, although not quite as much as you’ll have in the 1 Series. Anyone over six feet tall won’t exactly be sprawled out in the back, but neither will they be packed in with knees tucked up under their chin.

A class apart The new Mercedes A Class What about the petrol engine options? Avoid the A180, because it needs to be worked quite hard to keep up with traffic. The more powerful 161bhp A200 is much pokier, covering 0-60mph in 7.5sec - far quicker than the Audi A3 35 TFSI and BMW 118i and it has effortless oomph for relaxed cruising. Finally, there’s the A250e. The plug-in hybrid uses the 1.3-litre petrol engine from the A200 with an electric motor bumping up the power to 215bhp. That makes it properly brisk (0-62mph takes just 6.6sec) while giving you an official electric-only range of 44 miles.

52

Interior You’re unlikely to have much difficulty getting comfortable behind the wheel of the A Class. The steering wheel has plenty of reach and rake adjustment, and the driver’s seat, which adjusts manually on all trim levels, supports you in all the right places. As for the dashboard, all versions come with a 7.0in digital instrument cluster, but if you add the Premium

Please mention Inside Skegness Magazine when responding to advertisements

Motoring Services Guide

Verdict Classy, comfortable, good to drive, safe and packed with technology, the Mercedes A Class stands among the best premium-badged options in the family car class. A lot of the engines work well in different ways: the entry-level diesel (A180d) if you want great fuel economy; the hot-hatch-quick A250 petrol if speed is your bag; the A250e plug-in hybrid if it’s super-cheap company car tax you’re after. But for its overall pace, efficiency and cost, the A200 is our pick of the bunch.

Diabetes... how much do you really know? Lincolnshire’s east coast is one of the UK’s hotspots for people diagnosed with diabetes.

Where to get support

Nearly 3,500 people living in the Skegness area have diabetes. That’s more than one in every ten people!

They will be able to help you to manage your diabetes or give you advice on how to prevent getting Type 2 diabetes.

Speak to your GP practice

Diabetes is a medical condition that requires a lifetime of care and treatment to help control your body’s blood sugar levels. If it is not controlled properly, diabetes can lead to serious health problems affecting your eyes, heart and nerves. It can even kill you! This year alone over 50 people in Lincolnshire have had part of their arm or leg removed because of diabetes. There are two types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. Both occur when your body doesn’t produce enough insulin (a hormone which controls your bodys blood sugar levels). Type 2 diabetes is more common and is often linked to being overweight or inactive. You are more likely to be at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes if you are are over 40, have a close relative with diabetes, or are of south Asian, Chinese, African Caribbean or black African origin.

The good news is that 90% of Type 2 diabetes cases can be prevented by making simple lifestyle changes.

Remember to book in for your annual diabetes health check! The “Healthier You” National Diabetes Prevention Programme An education programme where you will receive tailored support to help you to make positive changes. Once you have your blood results from within the last 12 months you can refer yourself or ask your GP practice to make a referral for you. www.preventing-diabetes.co.uk Diabetes UK Information and tips for managing your diabetes and preventing the development of Type 2 diabetes. www.diabetes.org.uk One You Lincolnshire

Drink more water: Aim for 6-8 glasses per day. Remember many drinks (including energy drinks) contain high levels of sugar. Read food labels: This can help with healthier choices. Aim for foods with 5g total sugars or less per 100g. Avoid foods with more than 22.5g of total sugars per 100g. Reduce your portion size: Use a smaller plate. Your eyes still see a full plate but you will be eating less. Move more: See the Fitness page for more information about ways in which you can keep active.
