Anyone for tea?

Our love of a good brew is celebrated during Afternoon Tea Week (9th-15th August), although we hardly need an excuse to enjoy this great British tradition. A cuppa can be comforting and a way to connect with others – but that’s not all. Studies show that drinking black tea may reduce the risk of stroke, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Pop the kettle on, then.

Handy protection

Hands age faster than other body parts because they’re most exposed to damaging UVA sun rays. As the skin on your hands gets older, prevent the development of sunspots by applying Green People’s new Edelweiss & Green Tea Hand Guard – it blends SPF30 sun protection with skin-replenishing, ingredients (£17.50, greenpeople.co.uk).

Everybody’s talking about… PCR TESTS

If you’re travelling abroad then one thing is certain – you’ll need to be COVID-19 tested by a government-approved provider. The pre-departure rapid antigen, PCR fit-to-fly, Day 2 and Day 8 tests by Qured are lab-verified or overseen by a healthcare professional, so that you meet the current requirements for overseas travel – both going and returning. Check gov. uk and then the Qured website (qured.com) to find out what you need.
