Wellness and healthspan for everyday life
Each day is a chance to feel better, move more, and live with more energy. Wellness isn’t about perfection—it’s about finding what works and helps you thrive. In this edition, we share tips on making exercise enjoyable, improving sleep with short bursts of activity, and how regular movement can keep your brain sharp as you age. We also feature Mark Cameron, a former bodybuilder and fell runner, whose journey is all about balance and transformation. Plus, we’ve added a peaceful winter retreat to our UK bucket list. Our goal is to offer simple, science-backed habits that fit your real life—no extremes, just what works.
“Get outside…it’ll help re-energise you”
Meet our featured Yeu Zone member for November, Mark Cameron—a dedicated fell runner and former bodybuilder whose journey is all about transformation and balance. From shifting his focus from performance to longevity to redefining how he uses movement, sleep, and recovery for lasting health, Mark’s story is full of practical wisdom. Discover how he stays energised, prioritises what truly matters, and navigates the pressures of modern life.
Find space to breathe
As we write this newsletter, the weather outside is dreary and wet—perfect for dreaming of a cosy getaway. With winter approaching, the idea of escaping the city to a peaceful cabin with breathtaking views feels like the perfect way to embrace the calm of the season. That’s why we’ve added Rest + Wild to our UK bucket list. Their beautifully cosy retreats in Shropshire, Exmoor National Park, and the Yorkshire Dales promise the ideal setting for unwinding and reconnecting with nature. If you’re craving a restful escape, these spots offer the perfect blend of tranquillity and adventure.
Exercise your way to better sleep
New research from May 2024 shows that regular exercise helps you sleep better, especially if you have trouble sleeping. People who exercised fell asleep faster, slept up to an hour more, and woke up less during the night. Even 10-minute workouts made a difference. Try exercising 1-3 times a week to improve your sleep.
Boost your brain
New research shows resistance training helps keep the brain sharp in older adults. Just 2.5 hours of moderate exercise a week, like brisk walking or light strength training, can boost brain health. Strength training is especially good for both body and mind. Regular exercise is key to staying mentally sharp as you age!
