A nasal barrier balm, such as petroleum jelly, can be used to coat the nostrils and trap pollen before it enters the nose. Allergy UK, the leading national charity providing allergy advice, says that this is an extremely effective preventative measure: “It's the first thing we suggest to people who contact us”.

Know your risk of type 2 diabetes
I have just taken part in a comprehensive diabetes prevention programme which was online and spread over nine months with meetings fortnightly at first then monthly.
I was referred by my GP but this course can now be accessed without a referral if you score over 16 in the ‘know your risk’ calculator.

Low mood in these dark and depressing days?
This NHS website offers some tips on managing mood. I find a lightbox helpful and think getting out into fresh air and nature can be quite therapeutic.

A really excellent free meditation app
Having just said I’d like to see more on meditation in this loop I thought I’d start the ball rolling.
I’ve used lots of apps but find Insight Timer by far the most comprehensive. It is free though you can make donations, which I do from time to time. It offers many thousands of guided meditations from teachers based in different parts of the globe, and by using the filters you can select the guides you like best. My favourites are Andrew Johnson, Tom Evans, Andy Hobson, Mary Maddux, and Chibs Okereke, to name just a few!
I try to meditate every day for about 10-20 minutes. I think it’s a lovely way to start or finish a day. -

I struggle to sleep after my evening jog. Unfortunately, can't do mornings/afternoons. Love the way I feel after my run and the extra bonus of being in the open air is bliss.
However, I'm wide awake for hours after the run....and find it hard to fall asleep even though I'm tired. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this? -
Have you ever tried it? Is it worth the extra pounds and has it made any difference to your health/wellbeing?

The benefits of exercise during this (pandemic) are too numerous to mention. Everyone have their preferred routine; dancing, swimming, running, gym, walking etc. Mine is the gym and running. I was at the gym yesterday and it was very quiet. Plenty of hand sanitisers everywhere and we were all disinfecting the equipment before and after use. I can't get my head round the closure of gyms. Doesn't make sense to me. Anyone else? Oh, don't go there with social distancing. I caught a bus to the gym and there's no social distancing on buses. Just saying. :) : ) :)
