If you want to live a longer life, then one of the best forms of exercise to take up is tennis! Tennis is great fun, it is a focused sport that requires concentration, tactical thinking and alertness and an exercise that helps to release feel-good endorphins, keeping you fit and happy! I played tennis as a teenager, and later on with my children when they were young, but not recently. I used to love a trip to the tennis courts with my mum but did you know that playing tennis can increase life expectancy by an average of 9.7 years. There is clearly a reason why we hear of so many older people taking up racquet sports. Racquet sports include tennis and the newly popular pickleball and paddle ball. For badminton players it's 6.2 years so still pretty good! If you are ready to live a healthier life, read on to find out just why tennis is the best sport for extending life expectancy ...

Most women complain they have gained weight with age, I know it is a regular topic with my girlfriends, and my own struggle with hormonal imbalances have resulted in slow weight gain, my fat distribution is certainly different and the hormonal belly fat is real. But why, why do the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause mean that the weight gain and fat cells end up on the belly? Weight gain doesn't have to be inevitable, the earlier we make lifestyle changes and introduce new habits the better, in fact new research suggests that making changes early in the perimenopause years (around age 45 on average) can play a significant role in helping us maintain a healthy weight. The best way to take control of extra weight and look after our overall health is to make sure we have a healthy diet, incorporate regular physical activity, get enough sleep and manage our stress levels. But understanding why we gain weight at this time in our lives can be reassuring and helps to give us the motivation to make the changes needed!

Have you heard of EMS training!? EMS refers to Electrical Muscle Stimulation and whilst it has been around a while, it is still a fairly new concept in the UK and not that well known yet but it is a fantastic way to kickstart a fitness programme. I tried it out recently, I completed three weeks of EMS training sessions with Karl at Frequency EMS in Reading. And my blog post will explain more about what it is and how I got on including what it felt like! EMS training is an innovative approach that can give significant results in much less time compared to the more traditional workouts we are used to. An EMS session works all your major muscle groups in just 20 minutes, it's a full-body workout designed to help you achieve your fitness goals and improve your overall health over a shorter period of time. This is a gifted blog post.  What is EMS training!? I tried it out with Karl at Frequency EMS in Reading. With 1 in 2 of women experiencing a vaginal infection in their lifetime, and many more getting recurrent UTIs especially in menopause, it is something that we need to all be aware of! Sadly many women are dismissed by their GPs and not given the help they so desperately need. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) become more common in menopause due to the physiological changes that take place. It's not an easy time! I personally have not had recurrent infections, but the one or two I have had were uncomfortable enough! My article shares information on how to prevent a UTI in menopause including a review of V-Health a new natural supplement from Feel Recurrent UTIs come under a set of symptoms known as Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) and they can severely impact on our quality of life. Depleting hormones means that the delicate vaginal ph is no longer present which can allow bad bacteria to flourish. So what can we do to prevent recurrent UTIs and better care for our vaginal health and can Feel V-Health help with that? This is a sponsored post.  UTI in Menopause | Feel V-Health Review |
