The GP suggested she join her local Slimming World group for support while she waited.
Her consultant Steve and the rest of the group were so helpful that the pounds started dropping off in no time, and she no longer felt the need to take the medication.
"I've now found the magic want I thought didn't exist," Pauline said.

This Is the No. 1 Fruit to Fight Inflammation, According to a Dietitian
'Inflammation' is the word on everybody's lips. It's associated with cancer, COVID, diabetes and dementia, so naturally, you'd think it's a bad thing, right? Not always. Inflammation is a necessary and reliable tool. In acute situations, it's often among the first signs that something is wrong in the body. Say you fall and scrape your knee on a run, nick your finger while slicing fruit or get a stomach bug. Your immune system will launch inflammatory cells to get to work and resolve the issue. Once you're healed, the inflammation recedes. However, chronic inflammation can be harmful and has been linked to serious medical conditions, like autoimmune, heart ant metabolic disease. It's most often caused by lifestyle factors, such as stress, poor sleep, low activity levels, and eating inflammatory foods, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Fortunately, there are remedies you can turn to, namely anti-inflammatory foods. The Start TODAY app features five categories of meal plans — like heart-healthy and Mediterranean — with a variety of anti-inflammatory foods. Dietitian Tip of The Day: Eat Blackberries to Reduce Inflammation There are many foods with anti-inflammatory properties, but blackberries offer the most bang for your buck, according to dietitian Keri Glassman. Blackberries are high in vitamin C and fiber, and have been liked to improved heart health and lowered diabetes risk, previously reported. They're also loaded with anthocyanins and flavonoids, which can reduce inflammatory responses in the body, research shows. 'Eating foods rich in anthocyanins has been linked to heart health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases,' says Natalie Rizzo, registered dietitian and nutrition editor. Not sure what to do with blackberries? The Start TODAY app has simple recipes, like Goat Cheese, Blackberry and Almond Topped Toast and Blackberry BBQ Pork Chops with Collards & Corn. Why It Matters Environmental triggers — including inflammatory foods containing high amounts of trans fats and salt — have the potential to cause chronic inflammation. A 2020 study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that people who ate lots of inflammatory foods had a 46% higher risk of heart disease and 28% higher risk of stroke compared to those who ate nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory foods, such as blackberries. How to Get Started Top your yogurt, salad or oatmeal with blackberries or pop them into your favorite smoothie. But 'blackberries are only in season for a short duration in the summer,' Rizzo points out, so when supplies are low or you're looking to mix it up, substitute blackberries with other foods loaded with the same compounds. Rizzo recommends other dark fruits, including blueberries, instead. 'Or keep frozen blackberries in your freezer to reap the inflammation-fighting benefits all year round,' she adds. You can also reach for cherries, cranberries and eggplant, which all have anthocyanins. The Start TODAY app has tons of berry recipes, like these Blended Overnight Oats with Berries. TODAY's Expert Tip of the Day series is all about simple strategies to make life a little easier. Every Monday through Friday, different qualified experts share their best advice on diet, fitness, heart health, mental wellness and more. This article was originally published on

11 Simple Ways to Make Your Meals More Anti-Inflammatory
There's no denying that cooking at home is often the healthier choice when pit against dining out or ordering in. However, throughout the culinary process, there are plenty of moments where we might inadvertently contribute to bodily inflammation. From ingredients and equipment to techniques and timing, all of it can add to or detract from the anti-inflammatory potential of your recipes. Here are 11 anti-inflammatory cooking hacks that pull from each of these categories, helping you feel even better about your home-cooked meals. 11 Anti-Inflammatory Cooking Hacks 'There are a few easy tips and tricks to try while cooking to help reduce factors that contribute to inflammation through our food," explains community dietitian Julie Cobble, MS, RDN. "Small changes can make a big difference in health over time." Watch the Salt 'Salt contributes to inflammation for some individuals,' Cobble says. 'When cooking your favorite meals, flavor with spices and herbs first and taste test before adding salt. The dish may not even need it.' Aside from adding salt at the stove or table, processed and canned foods can also contribute hefty amounts of sodium to our meals. When shopping for packaged goods, look for reduced-sodium products or options with 250 milligrams (mg) of sodium (or less) per serving. If you already have a pantry full of sodium-rich canned goods, don't fret—just be sure to give any veggies or beans a good rinse prior to cooking. 'This can reduce excess sodium that is used in the canning process for preservation,' Cobble says. Go for a Little Less Char How we actually cook our food can make a huge difference in the inflammatory potential (or lack thereof) of our recipes. 'Certain cooking techniques can contribute to inflammation,' says registered dietitian Karen Hawkins MA, RDN. This can be especially true for high-heat cooking methods like grilling or frying. 'High heat cooking can contribute to the production of inflammatory compounds such as advanced glycation end products (AGEs) or heterocyclic amines (HAAs). These compounds contribute to inflammation in the body,' Hawkins says. While grilling and frying aren't completely off the table, it's smart to go easy on the amount of char you create with these methods when prioritizing anti-inflammatory cooking. Be Mindful of Added Sugars When it comes to pro-inflammatory ingredients, added sugars pretty much top the list. And while this popular ingredient easily sneaks its way into both sweet and savory recipes, there are plenty of ways to mitigate—or completely eliminate—how much added sugar goes into your dishes. 'Replace sugar and syrups in sauces with 100 percent fruit juice or whole fruit,' Cobble suggests. Additionally, swapping refined cane sugar for nutrient-added sweeteners like honey or maple syrup can also boost the overall nutrition—and decrease the inflammation—of your meal or dessert. Ditch the Non-Stick Cookware Cookware can be the hidden danger you didn't expect when it comes to inflammation. 'Throw out the old nonstick pans—they release toxic fumes and forever chemicals when scratched or overheated,' Hawkins explains. Forever chemicals, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are well-known to contribute to systemic inflammation. 'Choose stainless steel or cast iron pans for cooking. They don't leach chemicals into food, especially when cooking at higher temperatures,' Hawkins suggests. Non-toxic ceramic cookware also gets the anti-inflammatory cookware stamp of approval. Opt for Healthy Fats Some research shows that saturated fat intake may also encourage inflammation in the body. To skirt this concern, Cobble suggests 'replace shortening, lard, butter, and margarine with healthy fats such as olive oil, avocados, and nut butters for spreads, dressings, and in cooking,' she says. 'This reduces saturated fat intake while increasing omega-3 fatty acid consumption—which has been shown to help reduce inflammation in the body.' While avocado oil is perfect for high-heat cooking, 'extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is great for low heat cooking or dressings,' Hawkins says. 'It reaches its smoke point above 350 degrees Fahrenheit, at which point it can release harmful (pro-inflammatory) compounds and lose flavor and nutrition value.' Bake, Airfry, or Slow Cook One meaningful way to keep AGEs and HAAs to a minimum in your recipes is to opt for gentle cooking methods—like baking, airfrying, or slow cooking. 'Slow cookers and Instant Pots are great time saving tools, too,' Hawkins says. Plus, they can help mitigate any inflammatory concerns surrounding saturated fat intake. 'Baking or air frying—instead of deep-frying foods—reduces the amount of excess fat in dishes,' Cobble adds. Add More Fruits and Veggies 'And, as always, get your fruits and veggies in, as they have anti-inflammatory properties,' Cobble says. Thankfully, there are countless delicious ways to add these to your recipes. 'Add a bag of frozen veggies to soups, scramble veggies into your eggs, or have cut veggies on hand for an easy snack,' Cobble suggests. Fruit and veggies can also be blended into sauces, added to baked goods, or stirred into pastas. For even greater nutrient density, Hawkins likes to add her veggies in at the very end of cooking. 'Try adding spinach and other vegetables at the end of a cooking process to help preserve nutrients and flavors. Less cooking time enhances taste and texture,' she says. Simmer, Poach, or Steam Air frying, baking, and slow cooking aren't the only delicate cooking techniques—simmering, poaching, and steaming are as gentle as it gets. 'Gentle cooking methods such as steaming, simmering, or poaching help preserve antioxidants and nutrients in vegetables and avoid browning or charring that triggers inflammation,' Hawkins says. While these low and slow methods are often overlooked by the everyday cook, they can elicit just as much flavor as popular high-heat methods—especially if your food is properly seasoned! Throw Out the Plastic Utensils There's no denying that there are tons of gorgeous-looking plastic cooking and serving utensils on the market. That said, these kitchen tools are a definite no-no for anti-inflammatory cooking as they can melt or otherwise leach microplastics and forever chemicals into your final dish. Plenty of research backs the notion that circulating microplastics in the body contribute to inflammation and can even turn that inflammation into chronic disease. Instead, look for stainless steel, responsibly sourced wood, silicone, or ceramic cooking utensils. Add Anti-Inflammatory Flavors Fruits and vegetables are excellent choices when focusing on inflammation reduction in your cooking, but they're far from the only anti-inflammatory ingredients available. 'Use garlic, onion, ginger, and turmeric to enhance flavor in food and reduce inflammation,' Hawkins suggests. 'Sautéing them in healthy fats activates their anti-inflammatory compounds, like allicin in garlic and onions and curcumin in turmeric; be sure to sauté on low heat to prevent burning and preserve the benefits.' Level Up Your Food Storage Beyond cookware and utensils, food storage containers can also be sneaky sources of plastic—and the unwanted chemicals that come with it. Upgrade your leftover game by choosing glass, stainless steel, or non-toxic ceramic alternatives. It's just an added bonus that they're often way more stylish than those old plastic tubs, too!

Ministers urged not to remove legal rights and protections for Send children
The Government must not remove or dilute legal rights and protections for children with special educational needs and disabilities, a coalition of charities and parent organisations has urged. The plea comes as ministers have failed to rule out slashing education, health and care plans (EHCPs) – which set out the specialist support a young person requires for their needs. The Disabled Children's Partnership (DCP), which includes more than 130 charities and parent groups, has called on the Government not to restrict access to EHCPs for those who continue to need them. The Government plans to publish a white paper in the autumn detailing how it will reform support for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (Send). Earlier this month, education minister Stephen Morgan could not guarantee that the current system of EHCPs would remain in place. ECHPs are legal documents for children and young people up to the age of 25 which identify their educational, health and social needs, and set out the extra support required. A report by the DCP said the rise in EHCPs can be used as evidence the system is 'too expensive for councils' to provide, but it suggested more nurseries, schools and colleges are applying for plans because the support children need 'is not happening without them'. It said every child who needs Send support should have a 'written record' setting out the support they need and how it will be monitored. 'The Government must not dilute existing rights and protections, or restrict access to education, health and care plans for those who continue to need them,' the report added. In total, there were 638,745 EHCPs in place in January, up 10.8% on the same point last year. The number of new plans which started during 2024 also grew by 15.8% on the previous year, to 97,747. Requests for children to be assessed for EHCPs rose by 11.8% to 154,489 in 2024. The coalition's report outlines five key areas the Government should address if young people with Send are to enjoy the same 'ordinary things' in life that their peers take for granted. The Government should ensure there is 'legally guaranteed support' for every child who needs it with the current Send support arrangements put on a statutory footing, the DCP has said. The coalition has also called for more funding for the Send system and for every local area to have a plan for ensuring there is the 'right mix' of mainstream and specialist placements. The report said: 'This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make children and families' lives better. 'But getting this wrong would make it even harder for families to get the support their children so desperately need.' It added that many parents of children with Send are having to turn to the law to enforce their child's rights at tribunal and they may have spent years without the support they need. The report said: 'The solution to this is not to remove or dilute legal rights and protections; the Government must ensure proper accountability for meeting legal duties.' Anna Bird, chairwoman of the DCP and chief executive of charity Contact, said: 'Children with Send want ordinary things – a place to learn safely, the opportunity to take part in after-school activities and the chance for parents to work to support their children, rather than having to put their working lives on hold. ' She added: 'Our Fight for Ordinary campaign launches today and the report sets out how to make the changes children with Send need, without diluting their rights or removing vital protections. 'This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to get it right for children with Send. 'The Government will only get reforms right if they work together with young people, parents and the organisations that represent them.' Tobias Lambe, from Warwickshire, who is autistic and faced a fight to get an EHCP at school, is now at university studying medicine. He said: 'At the age of 14 I had a mental health breakdown and was admitted to hospital. 'I never dreamed that seven years later I would be thriving at university studying a course I love, playing sports, making friends and enjoying life. 'But it's taken a huge fight and countless battles with schools, healthcare providers and local authorities for me to achieve that. 'Not every family is able to fight that battle, and none should have to.' The 21-year-old added: 'Children and young people who are disabled and neurodivergent should not have to face a constant fight for a suitable education or the right healthcare. 'These are ordinary things to which everyone is entitled.' A Department for Education (DfE) spokeswoman said: 'This Government inherited a Send system left on its knees – which is why we are listening closely to families as we work to make sure more children can thrive in their local school, putting an end to parents having to fight to get support that should be routine. 'Our priority is improving outcomes for children and young people with Send which is why the Education Secretary has been clear that there will always be a legal right to additional support for children with Send. 'We are already making progress, from more early intervention in mainstream schools across ADHD, autism and speech and language needs, through to £740 million investment to encourage councils to create more specialist places in mainstream schools. 'As part of our Plan for Change, we will restore the confidence of families up and down the country and deliver the improvement they are crying out for, so every child can achieve and thrive.'
