Three ways to ease neck pain
According to Nice (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), up to 70 per cent of us will experience neck pain at some time in our lives, with prevalence peaking during middle age. Poor posture — while looking at your phone or laptop, for example — and anxiety are often underlying causes of neck tension and gentle daily stretches can help. 'Make sure you perform any neck stretches slowly and smoothly,' says the osteopath James Davies, author of Body. 'If they cause pain or make the muscle tension worse, you need to stop immediately and seek medical advice.' Davies suggests using a tennis ball to massage your neck muscles. Place the ball between the back of your neck and the wall. 'Position the ball

EXCLUSIVE 'My doctor couldn't believe it... I'd reversed my biological age by 20 years': How ordinary people are healing liver damage with FOOD - and the telltale signs your 'silent organ' is in trouble
When it comes to bits of our bodies we think about regularly, the humble liver doesn't immediately spring to mind. Jiggly bum? Yes. Tummy rolls? Tick. But the wedge-shaped piece of us that's called the 'silent organ' doesn't usually get a look-in.

Green-fingered Brits are racing to buy ‘wonderful' £2 flowers that ‘smell like ice cream' from top supermarket
GARDEN enthusiasts are racing to a top supermarket to buy up "wonderful" £2 flowers. They smell just as good as they look too with shoppers saying the bargain buy smells just like "ice cream". 2 2 The Nemesia "Wisley Vanilla" can be found at Waitrose for £2 each or six for £10. With the warmer weather upon us, they're a fantastic affordable option for your gardens and outdoor spaces this summer. An online blogger, Stacey, revealed the latest bargain find in a viral TikTok video. She said: "When I saw another influencer say that these plants smell of vanilla, I had to run and grab them. "I saw that Waitrose had them on offer for six for £10, which I thought was an absolute bargain." Stacey highlighted the Nemesia "Wisley Vanilla" in her video which she added to a planter-shaped wicker basket she purchased from Home Bargains. Sharing the find with followers, she wrote: "Adding some beautiful aromas to the garden run to Waitrose if you love the scent of vanilla." Viewers loved Stacey's recommendation as the video wowed viewers who were impressed with the bargain find. One viewer said: "I had one last year and it made one corner of the garden smell like ice cream - loved it. "Off to see if my Waitrose has these!" Another added: "Last year I brought huge Vanilla Nemesia plants for real cheap (£10) in B&Q they made my whole garden smell and the flowers returned this year." A fellow gardener also added: "Buy some white bacopa and they will magically grow down the side. I hate my new build garden being overlooked so found a 5 METRE privacy fence to block out nosy neighbours for under £30 "Mine have been flowering since March and will flower all summer." But shoppers should be aware that while they can purchase the Nemesia from Waitrose's website, prices vary. The retailer currently lists a 9cm pot from £6.99. The flower is described on their website as: "Pretty pale pink flowers with a bright golden eye appear on Nemesia 'Wisley Vanilla' from May through to September. "A short and very compact cultivar that is great for adding colour to the front of a sunny garden border or in pots on the patio." It goes on to warn, however, that "winter protection is needed" for colder areas. Offering garden advice, the description also adds that the flower can be "planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio" once the warmer weather arrives. Waitrose advises: "Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier. "Feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form."

Blow to City as pharma group quits London after share price plunge
Indivior is set to delist from the London Stock Exchange after a sharp decline in the value of its shares and a management shake-up earlier this year. The pharmaceutical group, known for its opioid addiction treatments, said on Monday it would cancel its secondary listing on the LSE at the end of July and maintain a primary listing on the Nasdaq. Indivior, which switched its primary listing from the UK to the US last year, told investors the decision to quit London would help cut costs. The firm also took aim at London's weak liquidity and trading volumes, and high administrative costs relative to the New York exchange. Indivior floated in London after being spun-out from Reckitt Benckiser in 2014, with its share price rocketing from 725p to 2,450p by June 2018. However, shares have slumped more than 60 per cent from their peak, trading at 944.5p at Friday close. Indivior also said a solo primary listing better reflects the fact it generates more than 80 per cent of net revenues in the US, which is also home to around 70 per cent of its investors. Shares will cease trading in London after roughly 40 business days, with the delisting pencilled in from 8am on 25 July. The decision comes just months after Indivior overhauled its management, with the group appointing David Wheadon as chair and Joe Ciaffoni as chief executive. Wheadon said on Monday the decision to delist from London was a 'key milestone for Indivior'. He added 'We appreciate the support received from shareholders for this initiative and look forward to capitalising on the expected benefits of this move, including reductions in cost and complexity.'
