Annabel’s piece in the Xmas issue of @psychologi

Annabel’s piece in the Xmas issue of @psychologiesmagazine explains how to find a few moments of calm at this busy time of year by taking a micro pilgrimage - a short walk to a place of worship using the paced breathing favoured by Afghan nomads. Annabel walked from London’s Oxford Street to Tyburn Convent where nuns still pray round the clock…the perfect way to decompress (we think).

We’ve tried pretty much everything to sleep well

We’ve tried pretty much everything to sleep well and can honestly say there is no miracle cure.

We’ve also learned that quality of sleep is more important than quantity; and some things will work, but not all the time. We’re all highly individual when it comes to sleep, and finding out what works takes time, effort and experimentation. But it’s worth it because sleep is such an important factor in ageing well.

Save this post for when you need some help sleeping, and check out our blog post for more detail on what works for us. The link is in our bio

Check out Annabel’s article in @observer today about how winter walks in the mud and cold support immunity and help us age well!

Winter is a wonderful time to walk - wind disperses pollution, rain causes plants to release mood-enhancing compounds, cold helps develop brown fat (itself an excellent fat burner) and dark produces melatonin for sleep.

Have linked to the full article in our highlights

We’ve found that as the years go by, we’re more drawn to eating earlier in the evening when we can, allowing ourselves a good three hours to digest.

Eating late in the evening impacts sleep as well as digestion, with two hormones battling for supremacy. The insulin needed for glucose management, and the melatonin needed to support sleep, run on the same pathways. When we eat late, insulin takes precedence and melatonin has to wait its turn.

There’s more on the latest research into how when we eat impacts our ability to age well on the blog - link in bio
