Hello everyone,
I am going back to Juicy Mountain in Turkey. This is a retreat which has had miraculous effects on my health. I got frightened a few weeks ago as I started to experience more severe MS symptoms again so I decided to go back to the place that really helped me last year. I will be sleeping in a tent on a mountain in a forest and we live off amazing nutritious juices all week. Here is a video that I saw when I was really ill with MS in 2016 and it started my journey to better health. Jason Vale is showing you the Portuguese retreat but I go to the one in Turkey which is more rustic (i.e. not as posh!) Jason Vale documentary

Sit to Rise Test- is it a good test?
In class we have talked about the test that appeared on the BBC programme How to Stay Young. I have an issue with this as I don’t think it takes into account anyone with knee and hip joint issues. Please do not try this if you have a new hip or knee or any problems in those joints. However if you don’t have it is a great one to try.

To get another perspective please have a look at the following especially if you do have any knee or hip issues. If you have new knees there is good advice on how to get down on the floor and up again. (Something we were talking about especially in Friday afternoon Circuits- Sandra, Carole and Margaret)
