FEEL-GOOD HEALTH

THREE OF OUR FAVOURITE MINERALS

FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM

Jayne Wilson, Wellbeing Expert for food supplement and mineral experts, Wassen, tells us which three minerals we should consider incorporating into our diet.

Minerals are inorganic substances found in rock, soil, plants and animals, which means they’re connected to everything, including us! But before we get too deep and meaningful, bear in mind how essential they are for your health and wellbeing.

Jayne has selected three of the key minerals our bodies need and some tips on how to introduce more into the diet.

• Magnificent Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in helping to release energy from the food we eat. If we experience the symptoms of deficiency, it’s possible to experience fatigue, muscle weakness and low tolerance to stress.

How to improve magnesium consumption

• Have a relaxing bath with Epsom salts – they contain magnesium salts and are the perfect way to unwind
• Eat more dark, green leafy vegetables such as kale and spinach as well as nuts, seeds and legumes.
• A side salad of green leaves and pine nuts with olive oil and lemon juice is a tasty and delicious way to introduce more magnificent magnesium!

• Super Selenium

Selenium contribute to the normal function of the immune system and contributes to normal thyroid function. The symptoms of a deficiency of selenium include poor hair health, poor immunity and poor thyroid function.

How to improve selenium consumption

• Eat organic foods as the amount of selenium in fruits and vegetables correlates with the amount of food in soil and organic produce tends to be more nutrient-dense and therefore an improved source of selenium.
• Introduce oily fish such as tuna, halibut or sardines as well as wholewheat spaghetti, brown rice and brazil nuts.
• For a quick and easy snack try sardines on wholemeal toast – fast food at its nutritious best!

Zinc

Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system and the symptoms of a deficiency could include poor appetite, skin and poor taste sensation.

How to improve zinc consumption

• A healthy intake of red meat, poultry and seafood can be an excellent source of zinc.
• It is harder for vegetarians so include lots of cashews, almonds and peas.
• Zinc is also found in sesame seeds and chickpeas.  A great on the run snack is tahini (made from sesame seeds) or hummus (made from chickpeas) on oatcakes – wholesome, filling and healthy.

If you need a little extra help introducing these minerals into your diet, Wassen has a range of food supplements including Magnesium-B, Magnesium-OK and Selenium ACE+D. Available from Boots the Chemists and at www.wassen.com

FreeFaucet also boasts Geofaucet – a first-of-its-kind, location-specific faucet. Geofaucets are real-life, physical faucets in the form of a QR code. When these Geofaucet QR codes are scanned at a set location, the person scanning is rewarded with cryptocurrency. Additionally, anyone can create their own Geofaucet at the FreeFaucet site – and earn a passive income – by generating a unique QR code and placing it at a location of their choice. When a Freefaucet.io user scans this QR code, the user and Geofaucet owner both receive cryptocurrency for free and their balance is updated on Freefaucet.io.

Magnificent Marble

The Stone & Ceramic Warehouse are pleased to announce the introduction of their latest range of marble-effect porcelain tiles – the Jurassic collection. With a variety of sizes available, and four colourways to choose from, it will leave customers spoilt for choice.

Pictured Above: Kitchen Island, Splashback and Floor – Jurassic Bianco

Marble-effect porcelain tiles are ideal for those wanting the grandeur of marble but without the inherent drawbacks and on-going maintenance associated with natural stone. Real marble requires regular sealing because it is porous which means it can be scratched, stained and damaged. Porcelain tiles are much more hard-wearing and are resistant to stains, fading and moisture, making them ideal for use in high traffic areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.

As well as their practical benefits, recent breakthroughs in digital printing have allowed porcelain tiles to be produced with a ‘natural’ variation from tile to tile; just as you would see on the real thing. This reproduction is so accurate that these marble-effect porcelain tiles are now often indistinguishable from real stone.

The new Jurassic collection features four colourways; Bianco, Luce, Marron and Notte, all of which are available in either a polished or matt finish. Customers can choose from four sizes ranging from 60 x 60 cm up to an impressive 120 x 260 cm slab tile. Suitable for both walls and floors the new Jurassic tiles are priced from £72 per square metre.

Pictured Above: Bathroom Walls – Jurassic Bianco, Floor – Jurassic Notte

As porcelain tile slabs are very hard-wearing and lightweight they also offer a stylish yet practical solution for kitchen worktops and cabinetry. They are scratch, stain and heat resistant – all ideal qualities for a kitchen worktop. The Stone & Ceramic Warehouse has seen a growing trend for seamless kitchen design; below the new, ‘Notte’ Jurassic tiles have been used to great effect on a kitchen island, worktop and walls.

Also new to The Stone & Ceramic Warehouse is the stylish Pietra collection, pictured below. These marble-effect porcelain tiles are also available in four colourways; warm, light grey, medium grey and dark grey. This range includes three sizes; 60 x 60 cm, 120 x 120 cm and 120 x 270 cm and is priced from £72.00 per square metre.

A HOUSE, CAR AND WASHING MACHINE: THE MARKERS OF ADULTHOOD

• New research reveals top ten purchases that Britons feel define adulthood
• Overwhelmingly, three quarters of Brits said this was when they became a homeowner
• 31 is the age where Brits feel like they’ve reached adulthood

NEW RESEARCH has revealed the defining things that make us feel like adults.

The survey of 1,124 UK adults conducted by household appliances e-tailer, AppliancesDirect.co.uk, revealed that a staggering three quarters (73%) of Brits felt that becoming a homeowner was a purchase that made them feel like they’d reached adulthood.

The survey further revealed that Britons most feel like they’ve matured to adulthood aged 31.

When respondents were asked which purchase they feel defined them as an adult, a further two in five (41%) said this was their first car, while 36% said it was a washing machine.

More than three in ten (34%) said the item that made them feel most like an adult was a dishwasher.

Completing the top five was the purchase of a coffee machine, with 32% of those quizzed saying this.

The research further revealed that 31% would consider buying a Lawnmower as defining their adulthood, closely followed by an iron (28%).

22% of Brits said that buying a vacuum cleaner made them feel like an adult, with 18% saying a TV licence. Completing the top ten was an oven (15%).

Mark Kelly, marketing manager at AppliancesDirect.co.uk, comments: “Becoming a homeowner is an exciting time for anyone and in most cases, is the biggest purchase anyone will ever make. As our research has revealed, many Brits feel the purchase of their first home is a defining marker of adulthood, though I was surprised to see that some of the more regular household items such as coffee machines and irons to have been chosen by those surveyed.

“It was really interesting to see from the findings that 31 is the age that Brits said they felt like they’d reached adulthood. Of course, we’re legally adults on our eighteenth birthday, though it’s clear that many Britons don’t class themselves as having reached adulthood until they feel they’ve matured more.

“It’s clear that it’s not just homes and cars that are important adulthood milestones for Brits, with the purchase of household items being more important to many.”

The top 10 purchases British people believe define adulthood:

A House – 73%
A Car – 41%
Washing machine – 36%
Dishwasher – 34%
Coffee machine – 32%
Lawnmower – 31%
Iron – 28%
Vacuum Cleaner – 22%
TV Licence – 18%
Oven – 15%

REVEALED: The sports with the greatest gender bias ​

Women’s Tennis is the sport providing greatest equal opportunity for male and female players

NFL provides the worst, with no recognised equivalent women’s league

Men’s soccer attendances dwarf women’s by 3800%

No female athletes are in the top 100 highest-paid list for 2018

Significant disparities in earnings between different nations, with UK sports stars coming out on top
Tennis can claim to be the most equal sport between men and women in the world, figures show.

Women’s sport has never been more popular than it is right now, with more column inches devoted and more air time given across various broadcast networks, but there remains a gaping division in the world of sport.

The study from Gender Divisions into the imbalances across 10 professional sports shows that while there has never been more interest in women’s sport, there is still a long way to go if there is to be parity in opportunity and pay for sports stars around the world.

The findings show that tennis boasts the most equal opportunity for female players with 1,106 active professionals compared to 1,814 in the men’s game – which compares favourably to football where there are 137,021 men compared to the 1,287 women playing – but it has taken a long time and a lot of campaigning from high profile players to achieve parity.

Ro Jackson, editor in chief at SLOWE, commenting on the findings said: “It never fails to disappoint when I see just how far we still have to go.

“Quantifiable change seems to only come when the athletes personally stick their necks out to defy the sexism they face when they show up to work every day, and it is only then that the industry takes notice and instills change.

“This is demonstrated quite clearly in tennis, where the players are now much closer to a level playing field to men in contrast to all other sports. But that was no smooth or fast journey.”

Serena Williams is undoubtedly one of the biggest female sports star on the planet, with 23 Grand Slam titles won in a glittering career putting her up as arguably the greatest tennis player of all time. However, partly due to a 14-month spell out of the game, last year she only earned half as much as Kei Nishikori (zero Grand Slams, 2018 year-end ranking number 9). Despite this, Williams remains the best paid-female athlete in the world.

There has been a huge surge in the popularity of women’s football in the last 10 years, with the advent of the Women’s Super League in England signalling an intention to move towards a more competitive and professional infrastructure.

There is still some work to be done however in terms of exposure and popularity, with the WSL averaging less than 1,000 fans in attendance at every match compared to an average 38,000 people piling into Premier League grounds at a weekend.

Alex Morgan, the USA superstar, has a fraction of the online Twitter following of Cristiano Ronaldo but the most staggering revelation is that her annual salary is less than that of Real Madrid flop Martin Odegaard, who brings in over £4million a year despite making just two appearances for the Spanish giants.

We are very enthusiastic about strengthening our relationship with the University of Ottawa and to further increase our presence within team sports,” says Max Strandwitz, CEO of MIPS.

Undefeated Run Continues for Pro Boxer Paul ‘the Meatball’ Thompson

Nottingham Super Lightweight Chalks up Fourth Consecutive Victory in Ring

One of the rising stars of the professional boxing scene, Super Lightweight Paul ‘the Meatball’ Thompson notched up another victory on Saturday night (May 18th) to continue his undefeated run. Since his professional debut in September 2018, Thompson has chalked up a string of victories and has continued his unbeaten record with 4 professional victories in 4 fights.

With Saturday’s fight taking place at Bingham Leisure Centre in Nottinghamshire, Thompson, 27, saw himself pitted against Sheffield’s Qasim Hussain. Fighting as a Welterweight for that match only, due to an opponent change, Thompson beat Hussain with a unanimous points victory, winning each round. Speaking about his victory, Thompson stated “People said I was pushing my luck going for 4 wins in a row but I live and breathe boxing and I know just how much I am training and preparing for each fight because I know just how much I want this. When I was at school I had a budding athletic career, which I gave up because I was advised to get a trade instead so I know how it feels to give up on a dream and I have no intention of doing so again so I’m going to work as hard as I need to, to succeed. “. Thompson’s preparations included a week training at the Fuerte Gym in Fuerteventura with his team, DCT (Dreams Come True), based in Radford, Nottingham. He said “Being able to train where the top professional fighters train was amazing, a real eye opener, and just helped build my determination to succeed”.

Beginning his boxing career in the military, where he toured Afghanistan for 7 months in 2013, Thompson’s had an unbeaten amateur career fighting under the EBF (European Boxing Federation) before his professional debut in Nottingham on September 15th 2018.

Thompson is sponsored by DSR Tax Claims Ltd, a Nottingham-based firm of tax preparation specialists who are experts at identifying allowable expenses. David Redfern, managing director of DSR Tax Claims Ltd, stated “As a company, we are so proud to sponsor Paul because his drive and determination to succeed and to be the best are an inspiration and we are delighted to be on his journey with him on his road to success”. Speaking about the importance of sponsorship, Thompson stated “Sponsorship is so important to any boxer’s career, especially when looking at a professional career, but it makes all the difference to me that David has been supporting me and my boxing career since day one and that is such a boost, knowing that David and DSR Tax Claims have been backing me since the beginning”. He is now enjoying a hard-earned rest but is already looking to the future, stating “I want to get another fight in before the end of summer so I head into autumn with 5 wins under my belt”.

Appalled by the huge amount of hidden sugars in Britain’s favourite sauces, a Doctor and restaurant owner team spent over a year developing delicious healthy alternatives.

Dr Will’s have a range of all natural condiments. The ketchups: Tomato Ketchup and Beetroot Ketchup, and the BBQ Sauce are free from refined sugar and sweetened naturally using two dates per bottle. Dr Will’s condiments are vegan and gluten free, and contain nothing artificial ever.

Hidden sugars are now struggling to remain hidden, with increased media coverage highlighting the problem and consumers becoming increasingly aware of the dangers of too much sugar. The World Health Organisation now advises adults to consume a maximum of 25g, or six teaspoons, per day.

Shocked that a decent dollop of normal ketchup contains around two teaspoons of sugar – a third of the daily maximum advised by the World Health Organisation – the founders decided to develop a new range of sauces themselves. Dr Will’s, with no added sugars, no sweeteners, no preservatives and nothing artificial, was born.

Tomato Ketchup: ​An all natural, vibrant and fruity tomato ketchup, which contains only naturally occurring sugars and doesn’t compromise on flavour.
Beetroot Ketchup: ​An all natural, tangy and earthy beetroot ketchup. All the sweetness comes from juicy tomatoes, gooey dates and perfectly ripe beetroots.
BBQ Sauce: ​An all natural, smokey and moreish BBQ Sauce, made with red peppers, naturally smoked water and never any refined sugar!
Stockist: ​Ocado, Amazon and the Dr Will’s website.
RRP: ​£3.50 per bottle.

5 must-have white trainers for your spring/summer rotation

By George Sullivan, CEO, The Sole Supplier

If the past few years have proved anything, sneakers are a style staple. With summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect time freshen up your rotation with a new pair of white trainers.

As the most versatile colourway, a pair of white kicks can be paired with any outfit, day or night. Pro sneakerhead George Sullivan, CEO of The Sole Supplier rounds up the best white trainers for your spring/summer rotation.

Eco-conscious

If you’re looking for clean lines and clean credentials, the Nike Air Max 720 is the pair for you. Arguably Nike’s most ethically-aware silhouette, this sneaker is created from 70 percent production waste. It also boasts the largest Air Unit on any Air Max sneaker, for that added spring to your step.

Available in an effortlessly stylish metallic white colourway, the Air Max 720 has dropped just in time for the warmer season.

A new icon

Keeping it simple, clean and premium, the CdG Play x Converse is one of the most sought-after sneakers of the moment. With the classic comfort of the Converse All-Star, this new release features an instantly recognisable bug-eyed CdG mascot peaking above the rubber sole, contrasting against the vintage milk canvas upper.

An icon in its own right, this shoe is the ultimate spring/summer trainer but don’t leave it too long; it’s a limited release which is bound to go fast.

Walking on air

If you prefer a chunkier silhouette without sacrificing lightness and comfort, try the Nike Air Max 97. The AM97 colourway is perfect for spring/summer, in bright white with bold accents of orange.

Combining some of Nike’s classic running features with a clean and contemporary design, the Air Max 97 is made with a mixed leather and mesh upper with signature ‘Tape’ overlays for support and a visible air sole unit giving both comfort and impact protection.

Colour pop

Another instant classic from the Swoosh, the Nike Air Force 1 has dropped in Sail Red with fresh design details for an updated spring/summer look.

Its low-cut collar provides a comfortable fit around the ankle, while bold colour-blocking delivers a striking visual. A must cop this season.

Old School

Understated yet unique, the SC Premiere encompasses seventy years of adidas history. Combining classical features with the chunkier midsoles of today, adidas opts for an ultra-clean white hue to release this court-inspired muted silhouette, while nubuck overlays add extra detailing.

Simple yet striking, this is an old school classic with a modern minimalist twist.

Club to hold free ‘Rugby-Fit’ sessions for all

An amateur rugby club in Leeds is launching a brand-new inclusive sports session to encourage more of the community to get out and be active this summer.

Aireborough RUFC will host a series of free ‘Rugby-Fit’ sessions designed to allow children and adults of all ages to enjoy partaking in some light activity, whilst making friends and having fun.

Each session will include one hour of light rugby-related activity such as the popular ‘touch and pass’, followed by a social gathering in the clubhouse.

Aireborough RUFC are an RFU accredited rugby union football club who have been coaching and playing rugby since 1970. As part of their 2020 vision, they have been working hard to engage with the local community and challenge the issues that prevent sports participation.

Recognising the barriers that prevent many families from being as active as they would like, the club will hold ‘Rugby-Fit’ sessions free of charge, in the hope that more people will come along and join in.

Junior sponsorship manager Rob Rattray said “We are proud to be part of the Aireborough community and hope that as many people as possible take part in these sessions.

“All of our members are extremely welcoming, so whether you come alone, with friends or with family, you will be made to feel welcome.”

Community development, communications and PR manager Gemma Birbeck added: “We have seen first hand the positive impact that sports participation can have on people and we want to make it more accessible so that others can feel the benefit too.

“Rugby-Fit will be a fun way for people to make connections, learn the basics of rugby and just get out and be active.”

Commencing on Friday 7th June 2019, ‘Rugby-fit’ will be held weekly between 7 and 9pm at the club’s home ground on Nunroyd Park, Yeadon.

Temp Cover are a leading temporary insurance provider, specialising in temporary car insurance.

A recent move away from fully comprehensive car insurance has left a lot of drivers unaware that they are not in fact insured under their policy when driving another person’s car as the ‘driving other cars’ extension has been removed from many policies (in Q1 of this year, 400+ vehicles were seized due to these changed conditions).

So while insurance may not be the obvious choice for this article, it could be really useful information to many of your readers off on holiday with friends / family this summer that they may well not be covered under their insurance policy. This is where Temp Cover can come in handy for people heading off on holiday, as it takes a coupe of minutes to set up and can insure for anything between 24 hours and 28 days.

With reflux typically affecting babies from 8 weeks old*, the babocush is being hailed by new-parents as a life saver!

(Good to know as a certain, famous new baby nears the one month milestone!)

As nearly half of all babies suffer from reflux**, award-winning babocush – the comfort cushion that helps reduce the symptoms of colic and reflux – is being hailed as a miracle cure!

Through recreating the atmosphere in the womb with a heartbeat sound and gentle vibration, the babocush gently soothes colicky babies that need to be held upright, and gives parents the ability to get on with their day-to-day lives, with a content baby.

The babocush has many more benefits too for ALL babies!

With tummy time recommended as vital in a baby’s daily routine, it helps prevent flat head syndrome and strengthens a baby’s neck, back and trunk, as it is held in a very natural position, allowing their airways to relax and stay open as opposed to sitting slumped over in a bouncer or a car seat.

Kerry Nevins, inventor of the babocush – knows first-hand just how hard it can be to calm a colicky baby.

Struggling to pacify her second child, who suffered with bad reflux, whilst looking after her eldest, Kerry created the babocush from her kitchen table.

Kerry shares with us her top tips and advice on how to manage colic and reflux in babies.

• If your baby is affected by reflux, there are a series of indicators – spewing food, rejecting food, hiccupping a coughing more than usual, and some babies even suffer from ear infections.

• Positioning is key – feed your baby in an upright position, as this allows gravity to aid natural direction. Maintain this position for around 15 minutes to ensure food is further digested.

• Less food, more often. More light feeds make it easier for your baby to digest and lower the risk of spewing.

• Constant crying, resulting from reflux, places your baby under a lot of pressure – which no parent enjoys! The softness of the babocush, combined with the gentle heartbeat and vibration from within, will safely settle your baby, post or pre-feeding.

PLANT POWER: 16 PLANTS TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND WELLBEING

WHILE THE health benefits of plant-based diets are well documented, new research uncovers the lesser-known uses of the nature around us.

The UK’s leading online florist, SerenataFlowers.com, has identified 16 plants that are more than just a pretty face, as they possess qualities that can actually improve our wellbeing, health and happiness:

Reduce anxiety

Mental health is a big topic of discussion at the moment and it’s important to take time for self-care. An easy way to improve your mood and help reduce anxiety is to fill your home with plants. Lavender is known for its stress-relieving qualities – it slows down the heart rate and lowers blood pressure to greatly reduce stress. This is why its scent can often be found in lotions and sprays. Snake Plant is also believed to reduce anxiety, improve respiratory problems and cure the symptoms of a headache.

Help you sleep

Not getting enough sleep can have a huge impact on many aspects of life, from our health to our work abilities to our social lives. Whether you struggle to drift off or are easily disturbed in the night, keeping a potted Aloe Vera plant beside your bed could help you see the night through, as it produces oxygen at night to combat insomnia and improve overall sleep quality. Jasmine flower is also believed to reduce anxiety levels which in turn will help you drift off to sleep, and the gentle scent will keep you in a deep sleep throughout the night.

Increase productivity

Having plants in the office has been found to increase worker productivity by 15%*[1]. Not only are they found to reduce stress and fatigue whilst aiding memory retention, they also regulate humidity and reduce carbon dioxide, both of which help employees remain energised. Bamboo Palm is known for its ability to fight indoor air pollution, promoting clear-thinking and easy breathing. Another top office plant is Golden Pothos which removes air toxins and absorbs unpleasant smells – the perfect plant to keep by the office fridge!

Clean the air

Removing harmful toxins such as benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and xylene will keep both you and your home happy and healthy. Rubber Plant and Peace Lilies are both incredibly effective at purifying the air around you. Rubber Plants are great for removing harmful toxins, particularly formaldehyde, and these plants become more efficient at cleaning the air as time goes on. Peace Lilies are also believed to improve air quality by as much as 60 per cent and true to their name, bring with them a sense of peace and relaxation.

Restore fading hair colour

If your hair salon bills are getting on top of you, why not turn to a more natural and cheaper alternative? When those pesky greys begin to appear, Sage could be the answer – this common herb helps restore bright colour back to graying hair, when used in a paste or ointment. Alternatively, Black Tea provides an excellent natural rinse for darker hair that has started to fade, due to its staining abilities. Pop the kettle on and brew up a strong batch – but remember to let it cool before applying to your hair!

Relieve an upset stomach

For fast relief of an upset stomach, a variety of mint leaf could be just the ticket. Loved by cats everywhere, Catnip (or Catmint) is also working wonders for humans too, as it can be used to help treat unwanted gas, stomach aches and migraines. Another plant that offers relief for an upset stomach is Korean Mint. The versatile plant also used to help fight colds and flu.

Fight infection

Herbal remedies have been used to fight infection for centuries and still stand the test of time today. Before pharmacies were readily available, Red Clover was used in teas and ointments to treat coughs, colds and skin irritations. Meanwhile, Native Americans used Navajo Tea for centuries as a quick relief of urine infections and for a general health kick.

Repel critters

Mint and Basil can be used to keep creepy crawlies at unwanted pests at bay. Mint is known to repel lots of insects including mosquitoes due to its strong smell – it can even keep mice away. Another great insect repellent is Basil, which can be planted around doors and windows to keep bugs from entering.

Lucia Polla, marketing manager at SerenataFlowers.com, comments: “Clearly, we should be bringing more plants into our homes and offices.

“These days we tend to keep plants and flowers around as decoration or to take advantage of their lovely scent, but this research is a nice reminder of the wonderful ways in which plants can actually benefit our health and happiness. Perhaps when we’re feeling a bit run-down the garden should be our first port of call.”

Parents needn’t worry about spending an excessive amount of time inflating the seat. The Easy Valve cuts inflation time in half, meaning families can spend more time enjoying the water together.

NABAIJI CHILDREN’S SWIMMING ARMBANDS BLUE “SLOTH” PRINT INTERIOR 15 -30 KG – £5.99

These inflatable armbands are designed to keep children from 15-30 kg afloat when first exploring the water under supervision.

Complete with two inflation chambers, grown-ups can ensure the fit is comfortable and secure on their little one’s arm, so they can get on with making a splash in the water without feeling restricted.

The interior of the armbands is coated with soft polyester fabric, so no need to worry about the floats rubbing. This also makes them easier to take off after the day at the pool is done.

The floats come in two fun designs, so children can pick which one will make them feel coolest by the pool.

Water Games

NABAIJI “AQUAWAY” 150 CM WATER COURSE SOLD BY 2 – 12.99

For underwater fun look no further than this aquatic obstacle course. Kids can spend hours of fun on holiday or at the local pool, swimming through the arches one after the other.

Easy to set up, simply throw and let the Aquaway sink, forming an arch on the pool floor.

The Aquaway is light, making it easy to throw and move whilst under the water, meaning children can easily manoeuvre the water course themselves.

NABAIJI 4 WEIGHTED AQUATIC RINGS – £5.99

Kids and adults can enjoy exploring the underwater world with these weighted aquatic rings. Simply toss and let them sink to the bottom before diving down to get them.

The rings are weighted so they remain vertical at the bottom of the pool, making them easier to grab, whilst building confidence under water.

The rings are brightly coloured, so they are easy to spot, making the race to grab them with friends and family even more exciting.

NABAIJI 3D WINGS WATER GAME – £7.99

This water game is perfect for beginners and more confident swimmers alike, due to its varying levels of difficulty.

Made up of four winged objects that sink at different levels, the blue one floats on the surface meaning those less confident in the water can join in. The orange and green variants sink slowly, and the yellow one sinks quickly to the bottom of the pool, giving more experienced swimmers a challenge.

Lightweight and shaped so they can be grabbed, children can enjoy throwing and racing for the water wings.

Decathlon has 45 stores in the UK and sells a variety of sports equipment, clothing and accessories perfect for those want to get active or maximise their performance.

Motorists are being issued with a drink-drive warning as police gear up for their annual Summer crackdown.

The number of roadside breath tests carried out in June is 50% higher than any other month apart from December.

Police breathalysed 36,041 drivers in England and Wales in June 2017 (the latest year for which figures are available). This compares with a monthly average of 23,840 across the rest of the year, excluding the Christmas period.

Nearly one in ten motorists (3,275) tested positive in the June crackdown and were arrested.

Almost a fifth (17.8%) of drink drive convictions are ‘morning after’. And a third of all breath tests after an accident are conducted in the morning (between 7am and 1pm).

Drivers in Merseyside were the most likely to be stopped in June, with 3,010 breathalysed – followed by Hampshire (2,532) and Thames Valley (2,265).

Wales was also a hotspot with 2,178 breath tests in South Wales and 1,952 in North Wales.

“The police always focus on June as, statistically, it’s a drink drive hotspot,” comments Hunter Abbott, Managing Director of breathalyser firm AlcoSense Laboratories.

“With warmer weather, sporting events and barbeques, June is a month when motorists are more likely to unintentionally drink drive the morning after socialising – posing a risk to themselves and other road users.”

The number of people killed in road accidents where the driver was over the drink drive limit has risen 45% in two years.

Figures released by the Department for Transport in February suggested there were 290 such deaths in 2017, compared with 200 in 2015.
