National Stop Snoring Week


Run by the British Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Association, National Stop Snoring Week aims to promote the fact that nobody need suffer as a result of snoring, and that snoring is a condition that can be treated. If you’re affected – or if your relationship is


suffering because either you or your partner snores – find out what you can do about it by using the interactive snore tests at www.britishsnoring.co.uk/itests. Your local Careway pharmacist can also offer


advice that may help with snoring. Find your nearest Careway pharmacist at www.careway.co.uk/find-a-pharmacy.

The latest figures from the British Association


Back in the saddle


You may have heard that cycling may damage your sexual and urinary functions. But the latest research – reported in The Journal of Urology – claims otherwise. The study has found cyclists have similar sexual and


urinary health as non-cyclists. “We believe the results will be encouraging for


cyclists,” says Dr Benjamin Breyer, the study’s lead investigator. “Cycling provides tremendous cardiovascular benefits and is low impact on joints. We believe the health benefits enjoyed by cyclists who ride safely will far outweigh health risks.”


Anxiety is


on the rise among younger men


Young men in their 20s and 30s are most affected among males with anxiety, suggests a survey by Kalms Lavender. The survey also suggests up to 70 per cent of men with anxiety say it has an impact on their work and relationship,


with 80 per cent claiming it affects their social life and more than a half admitting it impacts their sex life.


“Anxiety is extremely common,” says Nicky Lidbetter, Anxiety UK’s CEO. “It is important therefore that those living with anxiety seek early help and that treatment interventions offered are acceptable and accessible.”


According to the NHS there are many things you can do to help reduce your anxiety, such as: going on a self-help course, exercising regularly, stopping smoking or


cutting down on the amount of alcohol and caffeine you drink. If you’re affected by anxiety, stress or


anxiety-based depression, you can get practical advice and information on support services that are available by calling Anxiety UK’s helpline on 08444 775774

of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons shows men are opting for cosmetic surgery to improve their faces rather than their bodies.


In 2017, the number of men having treatments such as liposuction, tummy tucks and breast reduction (to


correct ‘man boobs’) was down considerably. But those having facial procedures – such as facelifts, eyelid and brow lifts surgery – shot up (for instance the number


of men having brow lifts rose by 27 per cent compared to the previous year).
