National Cholesterol Month

  • Oct 6
  • 1 min read

💜 October is National Cholesterol Month 💜


Did you know 1 in 2 adults in the UK have raised cholesterol, and most don’t even know it. It’s one of those silent risks that often shows no symptoms, but it has a huge impact on our long-term heart health.


The good news is that movement makes a difference.


Even gentle, regular activity like Pilates helps improve circulation, reduces stress (which also affects cholesterol) and supports a healthier balance inside your body. Every time you roll out your mat, you’re not just working on strength and flexibility, you’re giving your heart and arteries some love too.


This week, as part of National Cholesterol Month, I’ll be sharing ways movement and lifestyle can support your heart health. Pilates is more than exercise, it’s a way to move, breathe and reset for both body and heart. 💜

Self Care & Early Detection

  • Oct 5

One of the most important things you can do for your breast health is know your own body. Most breast cancers are found because women notice something different, a lump, a change in shape, or new skin changes.


💡 Quick self-check tips:


Pick a time each month that’s easy to remember, after a shower or before bed.


Look in the mirror first: check for changes in shape, dimpling, puckering or redness.


Feel gently all over each breast and under the armpits.


Don’t panic if you notice something, contact your GP for advice.


Self-checks don’t replace regular screening (mammograms) if you’re in the eligible age group, but they help you get to know your own body and notice changes early.


💜 Remember: early detection saves lives. Make it part of your monthly routine – it only takes a few minutes.

Stay Active & Reduce Risk

Being active isn’t just great for your fitness or mood it’s also linked to a lower risk of breast cancer. Even just 30 minutes a day of moderate activity can make a difference over time.


Here are some ways to get moving, whatever your lifestyle:


💃 Make it fun – dancing, brisk walks, cycling or even active housework all count.


🧘 Mix it up – include strength, flexibility and balance exercises. Pilates, yoga or resistance work help maintain muscle, support posture and strengthen bones.


👯 Buddy up – exercising with a friend keeps you motivated and makes it more enjoyable.


🌿 Sneak it in – short bouts of movement throughout the day can add up: 10 minutes of walking after lunch, taking the stairs, or a quick stretch between meetings.


Consistency beats intensity. It’s better to move a little every day than to do a huge session once a week.
