London Bridge Sports Medicine Group welcomes new clinicians to the team

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 12:03:02 +0000

London, UK. April 7th 2025 – Three new clinicians have joined the London Bridge Sports Medicine Group (LBSM Group) as they look to serve more patients across London and further afield.

The group has grown with the addition of Sport and Exercise Medicine Consultants Dr Lewis Raiman and Dr Richard Antbring, and MSK and Sports Podiatrist Maddie Tait. LBSM supports a wide range of patients, from casual sports enthusiasts to elite athletes, helping their recovery from sports-related illnesses, and improving their performance.

Dr Ajai Seth, Founder and Medical Director of LBSM Group said: “I’m thrilled to welcome Lewis, Maddie and Richard to the LBSM Group and to be able to support a larger community of fitness enthusiasts in London and beyond. My mission has always been to keep people fit, active and away from injury and I know that they have that same philosophy, so they’re a really great fit for us.”

Maddie Tait, a Musculoskeletal and Sports Podiatrist, is already helping patients at LBSM Group’s clinics at Old Broad Street and in the Shard.

Her addition to the team will provide greater support to injured patients through her expertise in foot and ankle injuries and biomechanics of the lower limbs, as well as those needing braces, boots and orthotics.

Ms Tait said: “I really enjoy helping patients improve their quality of life and achieve their personal goals, and working with Ajai, Richard and Lewis means I can bring ongoing support for our patients with complex foot and ankle injuries. I also perform gait and biomechanical assessments to help athletes improve their performance, and provide measuring and fitting services for our specialist orthotics and braces for those recovering from injury. So it’s a brilliant, varied and really interesting role.”

Dr Lewis Raiman, a Consultant in Sport and Exercise Medicine, opened the group’s new Highgate clinic in North London.

On his appointment to the new role, Dr Raiman said: “I’ve known Ajai for a long time and it made so much sense to join LBSM because of the infrastructure he’s built, and his passion for helping people keep fit and healthy aligns we mine, so I’m glad that we can now support patients in North London and Hertfordshire too.”

Dr Richard Antbring, a Consultant in Sport and Exercise Medicine, opened the group’s second new location in Mile End, East London and also sees patients in Highgate.

At the opening of the new clinic, Dr. Antbring said: “East London has so many thriving local sports groups and facilities that I was really delighted when the opportunity came up to work with Ajai and LBSM to open a new clinic in Mile End, and see patients in Highgate, too. I’m committed to providing individual and personalised care and again it’s something that fits in well with the LBSM approach.”

Clinicians Tait, Raiman, and Antbring will play a pivotal role in delivering specialised care to people across London.

“We already help thousands of patients recover from poor health and achieve their goals no matter how big or small they are, so to have them on board to expand our sports injury and performance medicine services is just fantastic.” said Dr Ajai Seth.

Pre-school Sight Tests Crucial to Give Kids ‘Best Start in Life’

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 00:03:02 +0000

EMBARGOED UNTIL 16/04/2025

Bath, UK. April 16th 2025 – Parents of the 735,000 three and four-year-olds being offered a school place today (primary school offer day, 16 April ’25), are urged to get their children’s sight tested before term starts in September to prevent them being disadvantaged in the classroom.

Good sight is essential to give all children the best possible start at school – youngsters with poor vision learn around only half as much as classmates who have good or corrected vision.[i] However, a new report from the charity Eye Health UK reveals that 70% of parents don’t take their children for a sight test before starting school (if EVER), leaving more than 100,000 pupils in the 2025 school starter cohort at risk of falling behind due to an undiagnosed vision problem.[ii]

David Cartwright, optometrist and chair of Eye Health UK explains: “One in five children in the UK has an undiagnosed vision problem that will hinder their learning and development. It’s often difficult for parents, carers or teachers to recognise when a child might be struggling with their eyesight*; however, sight tests are free (on the NHS) for all children at high street optical practices. Children requiring vision correction are also entitled to an NHS voucher that can be used to pay for glasses.”

David continues: “Starting school for the first time can feel stressful for parents and children but ensuring a child’s eyesight is up to scratch can help them settle-in quickly and aid their learning.”

Twenty-one per cent of parents said they relied on school to check their child’s eyesight,[iii] however school vision screening is not a substitute for a comprehensive sight test at a high street optician.[iv] Many Local Authorities also fail to offer screening services. Research by BIOS (British and Irish Orthoptic Society) highlights how school vision screening is a postcode lottery as just 57% of authorities in England offer a service as directed by the National Screening Committee.[v]

Living with an undiagnosed eye condition can have profound consequences for any child. As well as affecting learning it can impact mental health, lead to low self-esteem, trigger headaches; cause difficulties building relationships and making friends, precipitate clumsiness and be mistaken for bad behaviour. Some symptoms also overlap with signs of dyslexia and ADHD.

The Our Children’s Eye Health report found a worrying number of parents are clueless when it comes to caring for their children’s vision and eye health.

Two-thirds (64%) of parents surveyed for the report have no idea how often a child should have their eyes tested; whilst 6 in 10 (59%) parents aren’t aware that children’s sight tests are free at high street opticians. Seventy-five per cent have no idea that the NHS provides eyewear vouchers for children. A quarter (24%) of parents believe that their child does not need a sight test because the child’s eyes are “fine”.[vi]

All children should have their eyes tested at age three to four years and then every one to two years thereafter or as recommended by their optometrist. This advice applies even if you think your child’s eyes are “fine”.

Many parents are also unaware of signs of common childhood eye conditions including shortsightedness (myopia), lazy eye (amblyopia) and squint (strabismus). Fewer than half (49%) thought regular headaches could be linked to poor vision; just a third (33%) linked a turning or tilting head to possible difficulties with how well a child can see, whilst 29% recognised a dislike of bright lights and 13% linked orienting drawings poorly on paper with possible vison problems.

Parents are also failing to make the link between healthy habits and children’s sight. A staggering 86% of parents surveyed were unaware that time outdoors was important for eye health – despite spending two-hours-a-day outdoors being a factor in preventing myopia (short-sightedness).[vii]

Environmental factors during early childhood, particularly those that limit visual input or cause misalignment, play a significant role in the development of other childhood eye conditions too, including amblyopia (lazy eye).

David Cartwright explains: “Limiting screen time and balancing activities that require eyes to focus on close objects, such as reading, with time outdoors as well as engaging in activities to stimulate vision, are crucial, especially during a child’s early years when their eyes continue to develop.”

Protecting young eyes from the sun’s UV and serving up generous helpings of fruit, veg and oily fish are also important ways parents can help keep their children’s eyes healthy but just 32% of parents surveyed were aware of the importance of protecting against UV and only 34% made a connection between diet and eye health.[viii]

The Our Children’s Eye Health report also found that for 9 in 10 parents their local opticians would not the first place they would seek help if their child experienced problems with their eye health despite many practices offering NHS appointments for urgent and minor eye conditions.

Routine sight tests from age three or four are crucial to give kids the happiest, healthiest start in life. Read the Our Children’s Eye Health report and discover more at www.visionmatters.org.uk

Green Woman & Lily & Loaf Partner to Bring Natural Skincare to a Global Audience

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 16:03:38 +0000

Shropshire, UK. April 15th 2025 – Two Shropshire-based natural health businesses are joining forces to make ethical skincare accessible worldwide, without compromising on their commitment to the planet.

Green Woman, creators of the popular 100% natural deodorant Fit Pit, have long limited their shipping to the UK to reduce their environmental impact. However, with increasing global demand for their award-winning, eco-friendly products, they’ve partnered with Lily & Loaf to bring their products worldwide.

Lily & Loaf, who have stocked Fit Pit for several years, will now carry the entire Green Woman range and manage all international shipping for the small business. As an established international distributor of premium wellness brands, Lily & Loaf is well-equipped to deliver sustainable solutions, with packaging, processes, and partners chosen to minimise environmental impact wherever possible.

Fit Pit is a multi-award winning certified organic deodorant and Green Woman’s first product

In addition to deodorants, Green Woman’s range includes skincare solutions made entirely from plant-based ingredients and free from synthetic chemicals. The brand has earned a loyal following for its transparency, ethical sourcing, and plastic-free packaging.

Suzanne Carnall, Managing Director at The Green Woman said of the international market expansion: “At Green Woman, we’ve always put the planet first. Expanding internationally was something we approached with care, and Lily & Loaf have made it possible to grow without compromising our values. This partnership lets us share our natural, ethical products with the world-sustainably and proudly.”

The move marks a significant milestone for the eco-conscious brand, which started as a home-based, family-run operation dedicated to offering a natural alternative to conventional skincare.

This partnership brings together the businesses shared commitment of offering ethical, sustainable and natural products in the health and beauty sector, reflecting a growing consumer shift towards products that are kind to the planet.

“We’re delighted to expand our partnership with Green Woman,” said Andrew Ewan, Managing Director of Lily & Loaf. “Our shared values around natural living and responsible business make this a perfect fit. We’ve been shipping ethical brands overseas for years, and we’re proud to help Green Woman do the same, without compromising on their eco-conscious ethos.”

By joining forces with Lily & Loaf, Green Woman is now poised to tap into new markets across Europe and beyond, helping consumers make more environmentally friendly choices.

With sustainability at the heart of their operations, both companies are proving that global reach doesn’t have to come at the expense of environmental responsibility and serves as an example of how small, local businesses can be leaders in sustainability and innovation, meeting market demands while safeguarding the environment.

New Customer Data Reveals Two-Thirds Follow Restrictive Diets, Despite Half Experiencing Sugar Cravings

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 09:03:02 +0000

NOTTINGHAM, UK. February 6th, 2025 – Newly released customer data from wellness brand Lily & Loaf has found that while two-thirds (61.8%) of consumers follow restrictive diets, half still experience cravings for sugar or processed food.

Over two-thirds (69.7%) of those questioned also experience a number of digestive issues.
These findings highlight the importance of meeting all nutritional needs when aiming to thrive on a more restrictive diet.

Popular wellness brand Lily & Loaf has released new findings from its Lifestyle Analysis Health Check, shedding light on a clash between restrictive dietary restrictions and cravings for food which is highly processed or high in sugar. According to the data, 61.8% of respondents, all over 18, reported following a restrictive diet such as dairy-free, gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan. However, half (50.5%) of all customers still complained about craving sweet or processed foods, suggesting that following a strict diet doesn’t necessarily curb unhealthy cravings.

These findings come at a time of growing concern over restrictive eating trends and their potential links to disordered eating, highlighted by a recent parliamentary report published by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Eating Disorders. While many people adopt restrictive diets to address allergies, ethical concerns, or personal health goals, experts warn that such restrictions can inadvertently create nutrient gaps or lead to an overreliance on sugary, calorie-dense foods.

“By cutting out entire food groups, people may inadvertently create significant gaps in essential nutrients,” warns Allison Prebble (BA Hons, MSc Nutritional Therapy, Dip KA), Nutritional Therapist at Lily & Loaf. “While a more restrictive diet can be beneficial for managing allergies, intolerances or for other personal and ethical reasons, many people adopt these strict eating patterns without understanding how to properly replace missing nutrients. Over time, these deficiencies can intensify cravings for high-calorie or sugary foods and potentially pave the way for more serious disordered eating behaviours.

“Eliminating the underlying causes of health issues is vital, as it’s rarely just a food or foods that are causing health issues. Obviously a coeliac will always need to avoid gluten, however, being mindful of the breadth of your diet is key.

“If you’re following a more restrictive diet, I strongly recommend consulting with a qualified Nutritional Therapist, Dietitian or Doctor to ensure you’re consuming the correct amounts of vitamins, minerals and key macronutrients. By meeting all of your nutritional needs, and by supporting your diet with any necessary supplements, you’re more likely to avoid intense cravings and maintain a healthier overall relationship with food.”

Other key insights from the Lifestyle Analysis Health Check included:

A quarter (25.6%) of respondents said they experience a stressful lifestyle.
29.8% report low energy, while 31.3% of respondents experience joint or muscle discomfort.
Over a quarter (26.9%) of respondents admitted feeling low or apathetic, while 24.6% expressed feeling easily irritated or angered.
Over two-thirds (69.7%) experience digestive health issues, including irregular bowel activity, discomfort after eating, and difficulties digesting certain foods.

Andrew Ewan, Managing Director at Lily & Loaf, commented: “These findings highlight the true complexity of health and wellness choices people face today. At first glance, cutting out certain foods can seem like a simple solution for weight loss, managing allergies, or reaching certain health goals. However, the data shows that many still battle serious physical and mental health challenges, including unhealthy cravings, low energy, and mood issues. We believe in a more balanced approach — educating consumers about their nutritional needs, ensuring they fill any dietary gaps, and offering high-quality supplements to give additional support where needed. That way. You can find a sustainable way of eating that supports both your immediate well-being and long-term health.”

Complete Care Shop Issues Expert Advice on Staying Warm for Seniors Facing Freezing Temperatures

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 15:03:01 +0000

When the temperatures drop, staying warm isn’t just about comfort—it’s a matter of health. For older adults, cold weather can increase the risk of respiratory illnesses, joint pain, and poor circulation. But with rising heating costs, keeping warm while being mindful of expenses can feel like a balancing act. Data has shown that 50% of all older people in England on a low income worry that they won’t afford their energy bills this winter.

In light of the recent freezing temperatures sweeping across the UK, and with more cold weather to come, Complete Care Shop have outlined some practical tips to serve as a reminder to help seniors stay warm and safe when temperatures dip.

Older adults are more susceptible to cold-related illnesses like hypothermia and respiratory issues. Staying warm can significantly reduce these risks, and it’s possible to do so without skyrocketing heating bills by using simple, effective strategies.

Summary:

Wrapping up warm: Multiple thin layers and warm accessories like hats and gloves provide better insulation and flexibility than one thick layer.
Staying active: Gentle movement, like walking or using a pedal exerciser, boosts circulation and keeps muscles warm.
Warming food and drinks: Warm meals and drinks help maintain body heat; tools like kettle tippers and insulated mugs add convenience.
Keeping your home warm: Use thermometers, schedule heating, block draughts, and focus warmth on key areas to save energy and stay warm.
Supporting others: Check on elderly neighbours or relatives, ensure they have supplies, and help with practical tasks.

Wrapping up warm

Staying warm during freezing temperatures is crucial for comfort and health. Opt for multiple thin layers instead of a single thick one, as they trap heat more effectively and allow you to adjust your clothing throughout the day.

When venturing outside, wear a thick coat, scarf, hat, and gloves. It’s particularly important to keep your hands and face warm—covering your mouth with a scarf can help shield you from cold air. For footwear, choose boots with a warm lining and pair them with thermal socks for added insulation. Make sure your boots have a good grip to prevent slips on icy or wet surfaces.

At night, ensure you stay warm by wearing warm nightwear and a pair of thick socks to retain heat. To make your bed warm when going to sleep, consider preheating it with a heated blanket, a wheat bag, or a hot water bottle.

Staying active

Sitting for extended periods can leave you feeling cold, often without realising it. Gentle movement is a great way to boost circulation, helping to warm you up and prevent your muscles from becoming cold or stiff. If you have equipment at home, such as a pedal exerciser, consider using it for short, regular sessions to stay active. If you’re able, a gentle stroll can also help keep your body moving and maintain warmth.

Warming food and drinks

A warm bowl of soup or a cup of tea or coffee can help warm you from the inside out. If you find lifting a kettle challenging, a kettle tipper can make preparing hot drinks easier and safer by allowing you to pour boiling water without lifting. For added convenience, consider using an insulated mug with a lid to keep your drink warm for longer.

Keeping your home warm and comfortable

Maintaining a warm home is essential for both comfort and health, especially during the colder months. Here are some practical and energy-efficient tips to help you stay warm, without spiking your energy bills.

Monitor Your Home’s Temperature

Using a room thermometer can help you keep track of the temperature in your home. Aim to heat your living areas, such as the living room and bedroom, to around 18°C (64°F). If certain rooms, like a spare bedroom, are not in use, consider turning off the radiators and closing the doors to conserve energy.

Schedule Your Heating

Setting your heating to turn on at the right times can make a significant difference. Program your system to warm your home just before you wake up or return home in the evening. This ensures your living space is comfortable when you need it most while maximising energy efficiency.

Guard Against Draughts

A draughty home can undermine even the best heating systems. Use draught excluders on doors and close curtains at dusk to keep the cold out. For added insulation, ensure doors between rooms are kept closed to prevent heat from escaping.

Make Use of Rugs

If you have wooden or laminate floors, placing rugs down can help reduce heat loss and make the space feel cosier. Just ensure they don’t pose a tripping hazard.

Focus on Key Living Areas

Keep the rooms you spend the most time in, like the living room or bedroom, warm and comfortable. If you don’t use a room frequently, keep the heating low or turn it off altogether, and keep the door closed to contain warmth in the areas you use most.

Financial Support

If you’re struggling to keep up with energy bills, support is available. Organisations like Citizens Advice offer guidance on grants and benefits to help with energy costs, including the Winter Fuel Payment for those who qualify. Visit Citizens Advice or Gov.uk for more information on financial assistance options.

Looking out for others

Looking out for elderly relatives or neighbours is important, especially during colder months. Regularly check in to ensure they’re warm and are stocked up on essential medication, as well as food supplies. Share helpful information, such as details about financial support or discounts available through energy providers, to ease their concerns. Offering practical assistance, like helping to install draft excluders or thermal curtains, or even making them a warm drink during your visit, can make a meaningful difference.
