The 5 simple tweaks you can make TODAY to slash your risk of the 5 biggest killer diseases
Here's how you can start tweaking your lifestyle for better health - right now HIGH FIVE The 5 simple tweaks you can make TODAY to slash your risk of the 5 biggest killer diseases WHETHER it's hitting our five-a-day or getting eight hours of sleep, we are inundated with tips to avoid getting ill. But who has time to spend every minute tracking symptoms, eating superfood salads or obsessing over wellness trends? 6 Give your health a boost and lower your risk of illness with five easy lifestyle changes Credit: Getty The good news is there are some simple lifestyle changes you can make to stay healthy and slash your risk of the UK's five biggest killers — dementia, heart disease, stroke, cancer and liver disease. New cancer diagnoses are forecast to rise from 420,000 to 506,000 a year by 2040, according to Cancer Research UK. And the Alzheimer's Society expects dementia cases to surge from 982,000 to 1.4million in the same period. The British Heart Foundation warns that deaths from heart disease in working-age adults have risen for the first time in 50 years. The British Liver Trust says liver disease now kills four times more people than five decades ago, and the Stroke Association predicts there will be a 50 per cent rise in strokes by 2035. In short, it's time to take action. Dr Martin Thornton, chief medical officer at Bluecrest Wellness, tells Sun on Sunday Health: 'Lifestyle factors play a significant role in the development and progression of these five killers.' Give your health a boost and lower your risk of illness with these five changes... 1. MEDITERRANEAN MOMENT 6 A Mediterranean diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and olive oil can lower risks of Alzheimer's, heart disease, stroke, and liver disease, say experts Credit: Getty WHAT you eat is a good place to start. Swerve ultra-processed foods, such as sausages, crisps and mass-produced bread, in favour of a Mediterranean diet filled with fruit, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds and olive oil, says Dr Natasha Fernando, a GP and medical director at Medichecks. What is the difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest? This is associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer's. She adds: 'Diets low in saturated fats and high in plant-based foods can improve cholesterol levels and blood pressure, both significant risk factors in heart disease and stroke. 'Switch to fibre-filled wholegrain bread, cereals and pasta. Swap white rice for brown, and cook with olive oil instead of butter. 'Use unsalted nuts and seeds, which are filled with healthy fats, as toppers for your salads, porridge, yoghurt and soups, and to snack on.' To lower your risk of liver disease, add defrosted berries to your breakfast and chopped carrots to pasta sauce. Dr Thornton adds: 'Consider a few meat-free meals each week, with alternative protein sources like tofu or beans.' And don't forget omega-3 fatty acids to boost your brain health. Go for oily fish such as sardines and salmon, as well as walnuts, flaxseeds and chia seeds. 2. PUMP IT UP 6 Even four minutes of vigorous exercise a day can lower your risk of a heart attack and rhythm abnormalities Credit: Getty THE NHS recommends doing at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity a week. "This is anything that makes you breathe faster and feel warmer,' says Dr Fernando. Even four minutes of vigorous exercise a day can lower your risk of a heart attack and rhythm abnormalities, research published in the British Journal Of Sports Medicine suggests. As well as cardio, do resistance-based exercises, such as weights, at least twice a week. No time to exercise? 'Simply walking more can help,' Dr Fernando says. 'Take the stairs, park farther away and walk around while talking on the phone.' A study by the University of Sydney found that 7,000 daily steps could reduce your risk of dementia (by 38 per cent), heart disease (by 25 per cent) and cancer (by six per cent). Separate research by the University of Pennsylvania found just 2,500 was enough to lower the chances of liver disease by 38 per cent. Dr Fernando adds: 'Household chores and gardening count.' 3. WEIGHT OFF 6 Carrying excess weight raises risks of cancer, diabetes, and heart problems, experts urge steady weight loss through healthy eating and exercise Credit: Getty CARRYING too much weight puts you at risk of a host of health issues, including the top five killers. According to the World Cancer Research Fund, obesity raises your chances of at least 13 types of cancer. 'It also contributes to inflammation, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure,' Dr Fernando says. But Dr Thornton adds that if you're hoping to slim, crash-dieting won't work. 'Focus on gradual weight loss, aiming for 0.5 to 1kg a week, through healthy eating and regular physical activity,' he says. 'Eat slowly, without distractions, and stop when you feel satisfied rather than stuffed.' Getting enough sleep and managing stress will also help prevent overeating. Everyone has a different healthy weight, but the NHS deems anyone with a body mass index of 25 or above to be overweight or obese. 4. STUB IT OUT 6 Tobacco kills eight million people a year globally, 1.2million of whom are non-smokers, according to Action On Smoking And Health Credit: Getty THERE'S no end to the dangers of smoking, yet six million of us still do it. Dr Fernando says: 'Tobacco smoke is known to contain around 70 substances that are linked to cancer. 'Smoking also contributes to the narrowing of blood vessels and the build-up of fatty deposits, affecting blood flow and delivery of oxygen to vital organs such as the brain and heart. 'This is associated with increased risk of dementia, heart disease and stroke.' Tobacco kills eight million people a year globally, 1.2million of whom are non-smokers, according to Action On Smoking And Health. 'Even if you're not a smoker, avoid secondhand smoke and places where smoking is prevalent,' Dr Thornton says. 'There's no one right way to quit, so speak to a healthcare professional about a method that feels sustainable for you.' 5. YOU BOOZE YOU LOSE 6 Head off serious illness by keeping within the recommended 14 units of alcohol a week, spreading this over several days Credit: Getty EXCESS alcohol is the leading cause of liver disease, but it's not just your liver that takes a beating. Dr Fernando says: 'Chronic heavy booze intake is linked to an increased risk of all types of dementia, in particular early-onset dementia, as it contributes to brain shrinkage and cognitive decline.' The British Heart Foundation also says that drinking too much, too often, can raise blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. There are heightened chances, too, of liver cancer, bowel cancer, mouth cancer and breast cancer. Keep within the recommended 14 units a week, spreading this over several days. Dr Thornton says: 'This is a limit, not a target. Cutting out booze altogether is the best choice.' Dr Fernando adds: 'Try low-alcohol or non-alcoholic options, mocktails or juices.'

Sarah Di Lorenzo shares her delicious winter soups to warm you up from the inside
Sarah Di Lorenzo is a trusted name in nutrition. And on Tuesday, she showcased a number of winter soups. Today, Sarah will be showcased three soups: Lasagne soup – this is a viral trend at the moment, it's basically all the elements of lasagne in a hearty meat soup with pasta in it (Sarah will use rice & corn pasta as a health substitute). Greek meatball soup. Mediterranean fish soup. Recipe below: LASAGNA SOUP WITH A TWIST Serves 6 750 grams of beef mince 1 onion, diced 6 cloves of garlic, minced 2 teaspoons of dried thyme 2 teaspoons of dried basil Pepper and salt 1 litre of beef stock 750 grams of pasta sauce 1 cup of mozzarella cheese 225 grams of wholemeal lasagne sheets uncooked and broken (or corn and rice lasagne sheets) 1/2 cup of shaved parmesan cheese Method Cook the beef in a casserole dish, once browned add the garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, onion and cook for another couple of minutes. Add the pasta sauce and cook for another 5 minutes. Next add the beef stock. Stir in the lasagna pasta sheets and cook until al-dente which is around 15 minutes more. Serve with a mix of mozzarella and parmesan. Serves 6–8 Ingredients Method Broth 8 cups water3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt Meatballs 500 grams beef mince1 cup uncooked brown rice1 large onion, grated1 egg1⁄2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1⁄2 cup chopped fresh mintsalt and pepper1⁄4 cup olive oil Avgolemono 2 eggs2 large lemons, juiced freshly squeezed lemon juice, cracked pepper and sourdough, to serve 1. For the broth, put all the ingredients in a large soup pot and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. 2. For the meatballs, combine all the ingredients and mix together well. Roll spoonfuls of mixture about the size of an apricot intolittle meatballs in the palm of your hand. Be sure to roll them tight so they don't break apart during cooking. You should get about 40 from the mixture. 3. Transfer the meatballs to the simmering broth and cook for about 30 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, make the avgolemono. Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a mixing bowl and the yolks in another bowl. Whisk the whites until fluffy. Then add the yolks and lemon juice, whisking until incorporated. 5. When the meatballs are cooked, take some broth from the meatballs and slowly whisk into your egg mixture, and repeat one more time. Add this mixture back into the soup and stir through, it will look foamy. Turn off the heat and let the soup sit for about 15 minutes until it reaches a thick consistency. MEDITERRANEAN FISH SOUP Serves 6 As a young girl, I remember eating my first lobster tail and thinking it was the best thing ever. There's also something sensational about a good fish soup. Fish has many health benefits – it's a great source of protein, good fats, zinc, iodine and iron. Try to have three serves of fish a week to reap all those wonderful health benefits. Ingredients 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon chilli flakes 2 teaspoons ground coriander 1 teaspoon ground turmeric 1 teaspoon sweet paprika salt and pepper 750 grams white fish fillets, cut into mouth-sized pieces 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 red onion 1 capsicum 2 celery stalks 5 cloves garlic, crushed 1 x 400-gram can crushed tomatoes 1 litre chicken stock ¼ cup apple cider vinegar juice of 1 lemon 2 spring onions, chopped 1 cup chopped fresh coriander 1 cup chopped fresh parsley Method Put all the spices in a bowl. Season the fish with salt and pepper then coat in the spice mixture. Heat the olive oil in a soup pot and add the onions, capsicum, celery and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes before adding any remaining spice mixture. Add the tomatoes, chicken stock and vinegar to the pot and cook for 20 minutes on a simmer. Add the fish at the 15-minute mark and cook for the last 5 minutes. When ready to serve, stir in the lemon juice, spring onions and fresh herbs.
