REENERGISE AT Tudor Park
If your inner dormouse is getting ready for hibernation just because the nights are drawing in, then wellbeing experts at Tudor Park Marriott Hotel & Country Club have some top tips to reenergise you.
Situated in Bearsted, near Maidstone, the hotel has an experienced team of fitness instructors and beauty therapists who can help you beat that autumnal sluggish feeling. Here are their six top tips to feel good this autumn:
1. Drink more water – It helps with concentration levels and controls weight. Medics recommend 6-8 glasses of water a day( around 2 litres). If you find that hard to do, trying downloading a `drink more water’ app onto your phone to remind you.
2. Go‘ walk-a-bout’ – Take up the NHS 10,000 steps challenge. Walking builds stamina, burns calories and helps towards a healthy heart. Invest in a pedometer – you’ ll be amazed at how household chores, DIY, running around after the children, or walking the stairs at work can add up in step numbers.
3. Go nuts – rather than reach for the chocolate bar, or slice of toast in between meals, try a handful of nuts instead. They will leave you feeling fuller for longer and are packed with heart-healthy omega 3 fats. Almonds are the best nuts to snack on as they are also rich in vitamin E which helps maintain healthy skin, eyes and the immune system.
4. Vitamin D – the sun doesn’ t completely disappear in the autumn, so when it is shining make time for a 10-minute walk outside each day to improve your Vitamin D and K levels which strengthen your immune system as well as reduce anxiety and depression.
5. Mental Stimulation – spend the longer evenings learning something new, perhaps an online course, foreign language, new craft or hobby. Giving our brain a workout enhances our moods, keeps boredom at bay, and enhance chances of success, achievement and sense of fulfilment.
6. Mind your language – Try using upbeat language to lift your own spirits and those around you. It is all too easy to use double negatives when asked `how are you’, such as‘ not bad’. Why not respond with, excellent, fabulous or wonderful instead?
And if you want an extra boost this autumn, Tudor Park has a Twilight Spa package running until the end of October. Come along from 5pm and enjoy a 30-minute treatment, a glass of prosecco and full use of the leisure facilities for just £ 36 per person. For more details or to book, call the spa on 01622 632007.
