WEEKLY ADVICE COLUMN FROM DR. ANDREW
| 1) Dear Andrew, I'm really overweight! I've cut out breakfast and all fatty foods, but I just can't seem to lose weight. I'm desperate - please help! Hungry & Miserable, Coventry | A) Try going for a quick swim in the morning or walking to work. When you exercise, your heart beats faster and your blood carries more oxygen to your brain. This gives you more energy and helps you to think more clearly! Also, do you get enough sleep? Remember, most people need 7-8 hours of sleep to function well the next day! |
| 2) Dear Andrew, I sit at a desk all day, but I always seem to feel tired! Any suggestions? Sleepy, Cardiff | B) Don't despair! First of all, you should always eat breakfast! Imagine you're a car. If your 'fuel tank' is empty, it doesn't go anywhere! Also, if you skip meals, you often eat more later and put on weight. You should eat a balanced diet and take plenty of exercise. That's the best way to lose weight! |
| 3) Dear Andrew. I'm always stressed out! I work long hours and find it hard to relax when I get home. What can I do? Stressed, Brighton | C) Take it easy! There's more to life than work you know! Why not take up a new sport or hobby to get out of the house? You could join a gym! If you exercise regularly, your body copes with stress much better. Also, try not to drink too much coffee and tea. If you drink a lot of caffeine, it increases anxiety. |

• you skip breakfast?
• you exercise regularly?
