Blood pressure is a normal part of how our bodies work. But when it stays too high for too long, it can put extra strain on the heart and blood vessels. The good news? There are small, everyday choices we can make that may help bring it down.

🧂 Cut down on salt – especially processed foods, ready meals and takeaways.

🥦 Eat more fruit & vegetables – aim for a variety of different types each day.

🚶‍♀️ Keep active – aim for around 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days.

⚖️ Maintain a healthy weight – even a small amount of weight loss can help.

🍷 Reduce alcohol – drinking less can help lower blood pressure.

😴 Get enough sleep – aim for around 7–9 hours of good-quality sleep.

🧘‍♀️ Manage stress – try walking, breathing exercises, relaxation or mindfulness.

🚭 Don’t smoke – stopping smoking benefits your heart and blood vessels.

💧 Stay hydrated and make water your main drink.

📈 Check your blood pressure regularly – high blood pressure often has no obvious symptoms.

Break the Habit

🚨 Is va**ng part of your routine?

First thing in the morning? ☕
On your commute to work or college? 🚗
When you’re stressed? 😩
While watching TV? 📺
After a meal? 🍽️

Va**ng can become more than a ni****ne addiction, it can become a habit linked to everyday routines and emotions.

If you’re trying to quit, think about when you reach for your v**e and plan what you’ll do instead.

🚶 Go for a short walk
🥤 Have a drink of water
🫧 Chew gum
📱 Distract yourself
💬 Talk to someone

And remember: a slip doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Learn from what triggered it and keep going.

Your next v**e-free day can start today. 💚🚭

📞Call ‘Quit Your Way Service’ on 0800 84 84 84

What Happens When You Quit?

🚭 What happens when you stop va**ng?

Quitting va**ng means breaking your body’s dependence on ni****ne. You may notice some withdrawal symptoms along the way.

You may experience:
😣 Irritability
🧠 Difficulty concentrating
😴 Changes in sleep
🍫 Increased appetite
💭 Strong cravings to v**e

These symptoms can be uncomfortable, but are temporary.

The important thing is not to mistake a craving for a need. A craving will pass, even if it feels intense at the time.

💚 If you’re struggling to quit, there is help out there! Call ‘Quit Your Way Service’ on 0800 84 84 84

👂🚨 STOP! DON’T PUT COTTON BUDS IN YOUR EARS! 🚨👂

It might feel like you’re cleaning your ears, but cotton buds can actually cause more problems than they solve!

❌ Push earwax deeper into the ear
❌ Cause wax to become impacted
❌ Irritate the delicate skin inside your ear
❌ Increase the risk of injury if pushed too far

✨ The good news? Your ears are self-cleaning! ✨

Earwax naturally works its way towards the entrance of your ear, where it can simply be wiped away gently.

So next time you reach for the cotton buds… STOP! 🛑

If your ears feel blocked, muffled, full or uncomfortable, don’t poke around trying to fix it yourself. Book an appointment for a free ear check today!👂

💗 Look after your ears today for clearer hearing tomorrow!

Remember: nothing smaller than your elbow should go in your ear! 😉

Ready to Quit?

🚭 Thinking about quitting va**ng?

Whether you’ve been va**ng for a few months or a few years, quitting can feel difficult but you don’t have to do it alone.

Ni****ne is addictive, so cravings and withdrawal are completely normal.

💡 Some things that can help:
• Pick a quit date for stopping
• Identify your triggers
• Keep busy when cravings hit
• Have something else to reach for, like water or sugar-free chewing gum
• Get support rather than trying to do it all yourself

Every v**e-free day is a step in the right direction. 💪

💜 International Overdose Awareness Day 31st August 💜

Overdose Awareness Day is also about reducing stigma and reminding people that help is available.

💊 Naloxone can save a life.
Naloxone is a medicine that can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and give someone time to receive emergency medical treatment.

If you or someone you know may be at risk of opioid overdose, speak to your local pharmacy or drug and alcohol service about accessing take-home naloxone.

🚨 If you suspect an overdose, call 999 immediately and follow the emergency operator’s instructions.
