LET’S TALK ABOUT

‘DOWN THERE’

Over 21,000 women are

diagnosed with a form of

gynaecological cancer in the

UK each year. Yet despite this

frightening statistic, many of

us remain unaware of the

warning signs to look out

for, or feel uncomfortable

talking openly about our

bodies. The Eve Appeal

is trying to change this

with its annual campaign,

Get Lippy, which sees

celebrity ambassadors

helping to banish taboos

and talk frankly about

female anatomy.

Last month, celebrities

including Dr Rupy Aujla

and Michelle Heaton joined

the campaign, encouraging

women and men to speak

about gynaecological

wellbeing without

embarrassment. The public

were encouraged to blow a

kiss and use the #GetLippy

hashtag on social media, or

to wear a bright lipstick and

donate £5 to the charity.

It’s hoped that increased

awareness will lead to earlier

diagnosis of gynaecological

cancers in women across the

UK. Visit eveappeal.org.uk

for more information.

BOOST MOOD THROUGH DIET

New research confirms that eating a balanced, nutritious diet is good for

our mental wellbeing. In a study of almost a quarter of a million adults living

in California, the researchers found that lower intakes of fruit, veg and water,

and higher intakes of sugary drinks, fries, fast food, cakes, biscuits and ice

cream were associated with psychological distress such as feeling extremely

sad, nervous, restless, hopeless or worthless, all of which predict poorer

mental health. This research builds on studies that link a lack of fruit and

veg, higher intakes of

fat and sugar, and lower

intakes of omega-3 fats

and certain vitamins

and minerals with

conditions such as

depression. Following

the advice in HFG

will help ensure you

get the nutrients you

need to stay physically

and mentally strong.
