Peak Season for Kick-Abouts
Even though the domestic football season has wrapped up, summer is the peak season for neighbourhood football, whether that’s local leagues, park kick-abouts or pub teams. It may be that you’re a committed couch potato looking forward to all the Euros excitement- well, until we get knocked out!
Women’s Football
It’s fantastic that the rising profile of women’s football is encouraging more girls into the game (and often showing the lads how it’s done), but sorry ladies, this blog is for the boys- because they’re generally more rubbish at taking care of their feet. (I knew you’d like that free kick!)
Sweaty Feet?
Reasons can include “out of sight, out of mind”, with men’s feet more often hidden in socks and boots,or the modern association of foot care with beauty treatments. So add in the sweaty battering ofsummer sports like football, and it’s no surprise problems can follow.
Avoiding Type 2 Diabetes
Prevention is always better than cure- especially as diabetes can only be managed, not cured. Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune condition, currently can’t be prevented, but adopting simple healthy lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by up to 50%. Eating more healthily, losing weight if needed, and being active supports your body effectively managing blood sugar levels, preventinginsulin resistance, which can lead to type 2 diabetes. There’s lots of information, help and support available at reputable sites like www.diabetes.org.uk and www.nhs.uk/conditions/diabetes/.
Finally, due to a delay from the utilities companies we won’t be practising from Carnforth Central just yet. So, for the foreseeable, call me on 07725 300290 to make an appointment which will take place at Nether Kellet.
Thanks
All best, Carol x
