"I didn't think I would win as the people nominated were so deserving too – it was a real surprise.
"Raising money for St Elizabeth Hospice is so important to me and other people should fundraise for the hospice too, as they need money to help give treatment to people who really need their support."

Not drinking enough water causes greater biological response to stress
People who do not drink enough water have a stronger biological response to stress, according to a study. Researchers found those who habitually drink less release greater levels of the stress hormone cortisol, despite not feeling any thirstier than people who drink more. Keeping a water bottle nearby during stressful periods could be beneficial for long-term health, researchers suggest. The study, led by experts at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), included 16 people who drank under 1.5 litres of water a day, along with 16 people who regularly met daily recommended guidelines for fluid intake. Researchers used the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) guidelines, which recommends men should drink 2.5 litres of water a day while women should drink two litres. In the UK, the Eatwell Guide suggests adults should drink between six and eight cups of fluid a day, which is roughly 1.5 to two litres. However, people may need to drink more when it is hot, if they are very active, if they are recovering from an illness, or if they are pregnant or breastfeeding. Researchers monitored hydration in both groups over seven days using urine and blood samples, after which they were invited into the lab for a stress test. The test involved an impromptu job interview, for which each individual was given 10 minutes to prepare for. After that time, they were invited into another room where a fake camera was set up and asked to do the interview to a panel of three people dressed in white coats. Following the fake interview, individuals were then asked to do a mental arithmetic challenge which involved subtracting numbers as fast as they can. Professor Neil Walsh, of the LJMU School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, described the test as 'really flustering'. He told the PA news agency: 'We know that people who have a low daily fluid intake, who don't meet the recommendations, are likely to be poorly hydrated. 'But what we didn't know was whether, when you then stress those people under controlled conditions, they would have a greater stress hormone response.' Researchers collected saliva samples from the group before and after the stress test to measure cortisol levels. Cortisol, known as the stress hormone, is produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress and also plays a role in immune response, metabolism and blood pressure. The team found cortisol levels were higher in those who drank less. Prof Shaw noted that stress responses such as increased heart rate, sweaty hands and dry mouth were similar between the two groups. 'Both groups felt equally anxious and experienced similar increases in heart rate during the stress test,' he said. 'But the people who were poorly hydrated, because they were not drinking enough water each day, had much greater cortisol responses.' The low-fluid intake group did also not report feeling more thirsty than those who drank more, according to Prof Walsh. He added: 'Cortisol is the body's primary stress hormone and exaggerated cortisol reactivity to stress is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and depression. 'If you know you have a looming deadline or a speech to make, keeping a water bottle close could be a good habit with potential benefits for your long-term health.' Prof Walsh said further research is needed to better understand the findings, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, and to see if increasing water intake in those who do not drink enough can reduce responses to daily 'micro stressors' like traffic jams or presentations at work. 'We'd like to think that meeting the water intake guidelines could be one of a number of things you could do to blunt that cortisol response day to day,' he added.

Baby food firms told to cut sugar and salt
Baby food manufacturers must cut levels of salt and sugar in their products and stop promoting snacks for babies under the age of one, the government has said. The new guidance would also restrict the use of marketing claims that suggest health benefits without scientific evidence. Firms that do not make their products healthier within 18 months may face action. It comes four months after a BBC Panorama investigation found top-brand baby food pouches lacked key nutrients and parents were often being misled by marketing. Manufacturers told the BBC they were committed to providing high quality and nutritious foods, and marketing and labelling them in a responsible way. There has been significant growth in the baby food and drink market in recent years. Food in pouches makes up more than a third of this market and there's been a rise in sales of snacks like fruit and vegetable-based straws, puffs and wafers. "Companies are dressing these products up as being healthy, when actually they're much like a crisp or a sweetie. They're putting profit before health," says former chief nutritionist to the government, Dr Alison Tedstone. "I hope an ethical business will stand back and think about the health of our children." In June, NHS advice was updated to tell parents they should not rely on baby food pouches as everyday meals, with experts believing they can cause health problems for children if used as their main source of nutrition. These new government guidelines now turn to manufacturers - telling them to improve their products and ranges. This has been a key demand of health campaigners who say it is companies that need to improve, so not all the pressure is on parents. Kristal, a mum of two from Leeds, has used commercial baby food to feed her son Austin, who is now two. "Like most parents I take my children's health and nutrition very seriously," she told the BBC. "[But] for far too long there have been misleading marketing messages about the nutritional value of baby food and implied 'healthiness' of some of the infant snack foods". Top-brand baby food pouches lack key nutrients Campaigners call for urgent action over unhealthy baby food Restrict shop-bought baby food, government tells parents Companies have previously been able to market products to babies as young as four months old, even though government guidelines state that solid foods should not be given to babies under six months. Firms have also marketed snacks to infants under 12 months, when NHS guidance for parents says children under one do not need snacks. The new guidelines say both of these practices should now be phased out, which could have significant ramifications for manufacturers. Under the guidelines, sugar levels will be restricted in finger foods, snacks, desserts and non-refrigerated yoghurts, but there is no maximum level of sugar permitted in fruit pouches. This is despite many such products containing more sugar in a single pouch than a one-year-old should have in a day. Companies have also been told to restrict the use of marketing claims on their products which are not based on scientific evidence. Experts argue these claims often make products appear healthier than they really are, and sometimes even appear a better choice than homemade food. Some leading baby food pouches carry labels such as "just good stuff" or "packed with goodness", despite BBC Panorama finding some products to be low in key nutrients and very high in sugar. But there is concern the guidelines are not clear on what is and isn't permissible. Dr Vicky Sibson, a public health nutritionist and director of the charity First Steps Nutrition Trust, describes them as "open to exploitation" by companies. A version of these guidelines was first drafted five years ago by Public Health England for the then-Conservative government. However, the guidelines were never published as prime ministers changed and new priorities came in during the Covid-19 pandemic. Dr Alison Tedstone led the team that wrote those guidelines and told the BBC she hopes "this is the line in the sand". The guidelines are voluntary, and the government hopes they will be followed. But none of the companies approached by the BBC responded when asked if they would adhere to the guidelines in full. A public relations firm representing Ella's Kitchen, a market leader, disputed whether some of its products fell under the guidelines relating to the advertising of snacks. It told the BBC their carrot and parsnip melty puffs and tomato and basil melty sticks – advertised clearly as snacks on supermarket websites, and in the 'snacks and finger foods' section on their own website – were actually intended to be used as part of a meal or 'picky plate'. Dr Vicky Sibson called the Ella's Kitchen response "disingenuous", adding that parents regularly use such products as snacks. She said puffs and melty sticks were wholly inappropriate for use within main meals as infants need food that is high in nutrients. Dr Tedstone said she heard such arguments time and time again from baby food companies and that it was "inevitable" some companies would not adhere to the guidelines. The government says "additional or alternative measures" will be considered if businesses fail to implement these guidelines by February 2027. Campaigners hope this would take the form of improved mandatory legislation. The government declined to specify if this was an option. The guidelines apply in England only, but it's expected that manufacturers will sell any updated ranges or products across the UK. The British Specialist Nutrition Association (BSNA), an industry body that represents the biggest baby food companies including Ella's Kitchen, Organix, Kiddilicious and Hipp Organic, told the BBC its members "have carried out significant improvements to recipes in recent years, including reducing sugar and increasing vegetable content, and continually review on-pack information'. "We will continue to work towards the published guidelines," it added. 'Baby foods can play an important role alongside home-prepared meals and offer options for parents on-the-go." Heinz and Kiddilicious did not respond to the BBC. Organix and Ella's Kitchen did not provide their own statements, referring us to the BSNA. Piccolo said they "remain committed to evolving with the guidance to best serve families". Charlotte Stirling-Reed, a baby weaning expert and author, told the BBC that she hoped brands adhered "for the future health of children". She added that families should not feel guilty for having used the products. "This is about making changes to the food products that are available for young children, not about shaming us as parents." Do you have more information about this story?

'I'm seeing young people in their 20s wearing nappies because of ketamine - I need to talk about it'
Young adults are wearing pads and nappies because of ketamine use, a business owner has said. Paige Loraine who runs The Pelvic Floor Clinic said she has had over 100 people contact her about pelvic floor and bladder issues as a result of using the drug. The 32-year-old set up the business in March last year. And since then she says she received dozens of enquiries from people about symptoms related to ketamine, including parents asking for their teenage and young adult children. The mum highlighted the issue in a TikTok video which has now been viewed more than 84,000 times, reports the Liverpool Echo. READ MORE: 'Mounjaro literally saved my life. It felt only right I honour it' READ MORE: Strictly Come Dancing's Nick Knowles' wife says she 'doesn't recognise herself' in health update In the video, she said: "I need to talk about this. So ketamine is ruining lives and it is not just mentally. I am seeing young men and women in their 20s wearing pads and even nappies because of the damage it's caused to their bladder and pelvic floor. Never miss a story with the MEN's daily Catch Up newsletter - get it in your inbox by signing up here "So it's leading to bladder leakages, urgency, erectile dysfunction, pain during intimacy and a complete loss of control in day-to-day life. So chronic ketamine use can seriously weaken the pelvic floor. No one's talking about this side of it." Paige she remembers the first call she received about ketamine misuse. She said: "It was a mum for her daughter. "She just lost her way and become addicted to the ket. She was on it every day. She'd come clean off it but she was literally wearing nappies because of the damage." Ketamine is an anaesthetic for humans and animals, but is illegal for use recreationally. It is a Class B drug, making it illegal to have for yourself, give away or sell. The latest government figures show that the drug's usage among 16-24 year olds in England has tripled since 2016. Around 269,000 people aged 16-59 reported using ketamine in the year ending March 2024. Join the Manchester Evening News WhatsApp group HERE Chronic ketamine use has been linked to a number of serious health issues, including bladder damage and raising heart rate. Paige added: "I just imagine it being my kids. I just think it's awful. A bit more awareness needs to be raised about it because I don't think people realise how serious it is and I don't think kids realise how bad the drug is. "And it's only now that these things are happening because it's a taboo subject of bladder leaks and stuff. Not many people speak about it, so they're not aware of them side effects when they're taking it because no one wants to say they're weeing themselves or wearing nappies. "My purpose for doing this is for raising awareness. First, it started because one in three women suffer with pelvic floor and bladder problems and leaks. "But now, it's the epidemic of ketamine use. That's become part of my purpose as well. I'm all about raising awareness for women's and men's health." Through her business, based in Wallasey in Merseyside, Paige supports men and women with pelvic floor strengthening, bladder control and vaginal tightening. This includes treatment for women who are postpartum or going through menopause. The pelvic floor specialist does this through non invasive physiotherapy treatment called the Magic Chair. The chair works by giving off the equivalent to 12000 kegel exercises using electromagnetic stimulation. Paige also uses a non-surgical solution for vaginal tightening, pelvic floor strengthening, and improved intimate health called the 360 Magic Wand treatment.
