Why women are way more tired than men right now
Link is copied Comments We've heard of the gender pay gap. But did you know there's an energy gap, too? That's according to new research by Holland & Barrett, which revealed that 52% of women feel too tired to complete household chores, compared to just 35% of men. In addition, the study also found that the UK as a whole is pretty much exhausted: 72% of us don't have the energy to get through the day, while 42% of us admit to eating our way through tiredness for a quick sugar lift (Picture: Getty Images) To understand this energy gap — and why it exists — Metro spoke to Emily Foster, Holland & Barrett sport nutritionist. She explains that a complex mix of biology, lifestyle, and social expectations can be attributed to why women report feeling more tired than men. Foster also shares symptoms of energy loss and tips on how to close this gap once and for all (Picture: Getty Images) 'Biologically, hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle play a significant role in energy levels,' says Foster. For example, lower hormone levels during menstruation can cause fatigue and disrupt sleep. Oestrogen dips, especially in the luteal phase, often bring PMS symptoms, including low energy. 'Pregnancy and postpartum are also physically demanding periods marked by significant hormonal shifts, while menopause brings further fatigue due to hormone changes, poor sleep, and mood changes,' the expert adds. On top of this, Foster says that, comparably with men, many women face underdiagnosed health issues such as anaemia, thyroid disorders, or autoimmune conditions like lupus and fibromyalgia. All of these can cause chronic fatigue (Picture: Getty Images) 'Low energy can manifest in multiple ways — physically, mentally, and socially,' notes Foster. In terms of the former, this can manifest as constant tiredness despite adequate sleep, heavy limbs, and reduced stamina for everyday activities. Mentally, she says you might notice slower reactions, from difficulty focusing to forgetfulness. 'These are all signs that your brain isn't functioning at its optimal energy level.' Feeling irritable or emotionally overwhelmed during social situations? Or, feel like you want to withdraw from interactions completely? Foster says that while we can all relate to cancelling social plans and skipping the gym when tired, a consistent lack of energy, which impacts general wellbeing and lifestyle, does need addressing (Picture: Getty Images) 'Feeling chronically tired is your body's way of asking for better support,' Foster says, adding that better hydration, regular movement and enough quality sleep are crucial, but nutrition also plays a central role in sustaining energy throughout the day.' Case in point: Further Holland & Barrett research found that 29% of people rely on coffee for energy. 'While caffeine offers a quick boost, sustainable energy comes from nutrient-dense, balanced meals,' stresses the expert. Here are Foster's top tips on how to close the energy gap... (Picture: Getty Images) 'Even mild dehydration can sap your energy,' says Foster. If you're planning a workout, she advises drinking water before, during, and after workouts. 'For sessions over an hour or in hot weather, consider adding electrolytes to replace minerals lost through sweat,' she adds. Similarly, if you're not planning on exercising, drinking enough water is key for sustaining energy levels. The NHS says 6 to 8 cups or glasses of fluid a day is enough (Picture: Getty Images) 'Food provides energy through molecules like glucose, which are primarily sourced from macronutrients.' Foster says these usually come from carbohydrates, a small amount from fats, and protein. 'But micronutrients — like B vitamins and amino acids — also contribute to energy production,' she adds. Additionally, the amount of energy in food is measured in calories (kcal); however, it's not as simple as eating lots of high-calorie foods to boost energy levels, she explains. 'Instead, we need to consider if we're eating sustainable sources of energy — including foods like fibre, healthy fats, protein and unrefined carbohydrates to give the body a steady source of energy over a longer period' (Picture: Getty Images) Foster also states that regularly eating small meals and snacks may help to keep your energy up. Some research suggests that eating four to six small meals daily, including healthy snacks, can help to keep your blood glucose steady. But, if you prefer to have fewer meals, she recommends incorporating more healthy snacks into your day for an energy boost. And, rather than loading up on sugary snacks, focus on slow-release energy from whole foods. Examples of these include... (Picture: Getty Images) • Chia seeds: 'High in protein, healthy fats, and fibre, they support stable energy levels,' Foster says. She adds that because seeds contain protein and fibre, they're key for slower digestion and 'crucially' a slower release of energy. Foster recommends mixing chia seeds with fruit and yoghurt to make a balanced, energy-boosting snack. • Almonds: These are rich in B2 (riboflavin), copper, and manganese, which are vital for energy production. • Fruits: Bananas are highly advised for boosting energy levels, as they're packed full of energy-rich carbohydrates. Apples and strawberries are great too, as they contain natural sugars and are high in fibre. 'This means the energy that apples provide is of the longer-lasting sort, therefore you won't experience a crash,' Foster concludes (Picture: Getty Images) Your free newsletter guide to the best London has on offer, from drinks deals to restaurant reviews.

'I had a spoon of Manuka Honey every day to help with hayfever - the results shocked me'
There are claims that Manuka honey and its antimicrobial MGO can help ease the symptoms of hayfever, but does it work? Editor Harriet Morphy-Morris tested it for 11 days A blocked nose, headache and itchy eyes that swell in the morning - like millions of people in the UK - I struggle with these hayfever symptoms in the spring and summer. To see if it was possible to ease my symptoms, I tested out the Manuka honey theory. Dubbed a solution to 'help fight allergies and hay fever', Manuka honey is being explored as a potential relief for symptoms. Although not a straight cure, the natural product is filled with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which are said to help sufferers with their symptoms. But how much relief does it give? Intrigued by the growing attention, I tried it out for myself. Taking a teaspoon of Manuka Doctor MGO honey every morning for 11 days - and I've been left shocked by some of the relief I've felt. Currently offering a discount in its 'summer wellness sale', Manuka Doctor has cut its honey price by as much as 65%. For those like me looking to try and relieve their symptoms this is a chance to get it for less. I tried three different strengths of honey - a simple multifloral of 70 MGO, a premium quality 540 MGO one and a 1000 MGO Max Strength one. On sale as we speak, the 55 MGO honey is reduced from £34 to £11.60. For a max strength and boosted chance to help with symptoms, the higher 640 MGO manuka honey is now £40.60 instead of its usual £116 price. It's not only honey, Manuka Doctor also offers Allergy Relief Supplements for a much cheaper price - £6.30 for 30 capsules. Now, I haven't tried these out for myself, but they could be an alternative for those who don't like the taste of honey but still want the benefits. The honey brand I used: Manuka Doctor Harvested in New Zealand, their bee hives are lab-checked to meet standards and certified for hive-to-home use. The brand is reportedly backed by experts, including health professionals and doctors, including ITV 's Dr Hilary Jones MBE. The key part of this is MGO—or methylglyoxal. Without going into too much scientific waffle, the molecule is vital in helping the body's natural healing process and regulating its immune response. Of course, it's not the only brand around. Holland & Barrett offers 70 MGO honey for £22.49. LookFantastic also offers a 'Manuka Honey Blend' with 30+ MGO for £9.50. Four ways I added Manuka Honey to my daily diet I took a teaspoon of the strongest 1000 MGO honey each morning, this way I kept it consistent and made sure I was having the same strength each day. But I did add in other doses with my meals. My next favourite way of having it was for breakfast, drizzled over a yoghurt bowl or blitzed up in a smoothie. The latter was a simple way to mask the taste for those not keen on the flavour. It was also simple to do during my lunches and dinners. Three or four times, I added a teaspoon of honey to homemade salad dressings. Keen cooks out there could also use it in a meat marinade. One of my favourite dishes was halloumi hot honey, to which I just added some chilli flakes. How long did it take to feel hayfever relief? At time of writing I've been having helpings of Manuka honey for 11 days straight. I started on July 13 and have consistently taken a spoonful of honey each morning (some neat, others added into my breakfast or morning cuppa). By day eight, I could confidently say that I'd felt some relief in my hayfever symptoms, my itchy eyes had reduced, and I was sneezing less. The most improvement, which I started to feel on day three, was with my throat. Dry and inflamed, hay fever has always given me a sore throat, but trialling the manuka honey has definitely helped. As well as the high MGO contents - I think that this is likely down to the simple fact that honey is soothing, and even shop-bought honey is a popular remedy for colds - like hot honey and lemon tea. Is Manuka Honey enough to help ease Hayfever symptoms? After 11 days, I have felt a huge lift in my symptoms. Mainly, the lack of blocked nose, itchy eyes, and sore throat. All of which have nearly disappeared. However, it has not helped the skin symptoms I get with hayfever at all - which is puffiness around the eyes and rash. Another thing I noticed is the taste of stronger MGO honey is so different to the sickly sweet supermarket honey I am used to - the taste took getting used to. This is where I agree that Manuka honey shouldn't be seen as a cure but rather something to try to help ease the symtoms. And going forward I will start taking an antihistamine daily to help - like Allevia which is available at Amazon for £7.59 (please consult with your doctor first).

MoD admits Britain's troops could have brain damage caused by their own weapons
Senior British officers and scientists admit British troops may suffer 'brain damage' caused by low impact blasts from their own weapons while fighting on the frontline Thousands of UK troops could have brain damage caused by their own weapons, defence chiefs have confirmed. Blast waves repeatedly caused by explosions from weapons could have led to life-long health issues, it has been revealed. The Ministry of Defence's lead officer on Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Lt Col James Mitchell admitted exposure to weapons blasts could cause the injuries. He told ITV News that in Iraq and Afghanistan, TBI and concussion was caused by larger explosions and blasts. But in fact low level blasts may cause health problems. Lt Col Mitchell told ITV News: "Over especially the last five to ten years, we're starting to appreciate the role of what we call low level blasts.' He said low level blasts were predominantly being caused by "the exposure of our service personnel to blast over-pressure from their own weapons systems." Lt Col Mitchell said 'thousands' of personnel may have been exposed to harmful blasts. Most at risk are troops exposed to heavy weapons like mortars, shoulder-launched anti-tank weapons, 50-calibre rifles and machine guns, or explosive charges. Explosions create a wave of 'overpressure', a spike in the surrounding air pressure above normal atmospheric levels caused by a blast wave. The force is so strong it enters the skull and can cause microscopic damage to blood vessels and neurons. Repeated exposure means the brain may not heal itself, causing serious long-term neurological damage. Symptoms of blast-related TBI overlap with those of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), making it difficult to diagnose. They are severe headaches, sight problems, sensitivity to noise and light, memory loss and a sense of personality change. Scientists are probing the causes of TBI, with financial support from the MoD. The University of Birmingham is playing a key role in the mild TBI study in partnership with the MoD, which aims to estimate what kind of brain damage veterans have. Professor Lisa Hill, a neuroscientist at Birmingham University said: 'If somebody gets injured, it changes the structure and function of the brain, but it also releases chemicals that you wouldn't normally see,' she said. 'So if we can measure things in blood or in their saliva, that can tell us how potentially bad their injury has been and what symptoms they might go on to get.' Hugh Keir, a Para Regiment sniper who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, now runs the H-Hour podcast which is popular with veterans in the UK and abroad. He volunteered to undergo a trial scan to see if his years of exposure to blast have left a mark. The results showed normal brain activity overall, but there were some signs that may indicate damage. Professor Mullinger also plans to study soldiers in real time, to see which activities are highest risk. 'We can scan these soldiers before they go and do a training exercise and then immediately after, then we get a baseline which is specific to them,' she said. 'If the 'wire paths' have been damaged by blasts or whatever else it might be, then the function is going to change.' The information collected from these trials could shape policy, such as modifying the most damaging weapons or reducing blast exposure in training exercises. British troops throughout the Afghan and Iraq wars were repeatedly exposed to firefights, explosions from bombs and mortars, especially being fired by their own side. Thousands have suffered hearing loss from the blasts but the new research suggests lower-grade blasts may have caused long-term issues. Sources said the research into the issue is ongoing and may result in protective gear used by soldiers may be investigated and further improved in a bid to protect against the blast waves. An estimated 300,000 armed forces personnel suffering with hearing loss caused by the relentless noise of military life. Hearing loss and tinnitus is much more common in the military population than the general public. In fact, by the age of 75, service personnel are 3.5 times more likely to experience hearing difficulties than the general public. The UK Armed Forces has a number of compensation schemes for serving and former serving personnel who have been injured as a result of their service in the armed forces. If the injury was caused prior to April 6 2005 and the person is no longer serving this would be the War Pension Scheme (WPS). The Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) was established for soldiers injured after 2005 who are still in active service. However the criteria to claim for both schemes is arduous and in-depth.
