Pints & Parkruns: Riverside, Chester-le-Street
This wasn’t the plan. However, with storm Ciaran prompting me to look up the designs for Noah’s Ark, it didn’t feel like a weekend for a course with grass or trails. Riverside, I hoped, would be relatively unaffected. Although this Chester-le-Street event once had an old route that cut across the grass, the last time I ran here it was all on paths.

Sleep Music - Benefits of Using Music to Fall Asleep How Sleep Music Promotes Relaxation and Improves Sleep Quality Sleep music plays a vital role in promoting relaxation and improving sleep quality [2]. It has a calming effect on the body and mind, helping to create a soothing environment conducive to sleep. Different types of sleep music trigger specific reactions and emotions in individuals, allowing them to find the most suitable music for their relaxation needs. For example, classical music has been shown to reduce heart rate and blood pressure, while ambient music can induce a state of tranquility and calmness. When we listen to sleep music, our bodies release sleep-friendly hormones, such as serotonin and melatonin, which help lower heart rate and blood pressure.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away." This is a popular saying that suggests eating fresh fruit is beneficial for our health. But is there any truth to it? Can consuming an apple every day truly have significant health benefits? Well, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is undoubtedly the best way to take care of our well-being, and including fresh fruit in our diet is definitely a great choice. However, let's delve deeper into this topic and explore the scientific evidence to answer these questions. Along the way, we'll also learn some interesting terminology. Many proverbs stem from the historical experiences of a particular region, and Britain has a rich history of apple cultivation. Over the years, numerous apple varieties with unique names have been grown in orchards across the country. So, out of the following options, which one do you think is the name of a genuine English apple? Is it: a) Taylor's Gold? b) Golden Pippin? or c) Dark Worcester? I'm not entirely sure, but I believe the answer is b) Golden Pippin. We'll reveal the correct answer later in the program. Regardless of the apple's name, recent scientific research suggests that there are indeed health benefits associated with consuming apples, particularly when we eat them with the skin on. Apple skins are rich in beneficial components such as fiber, vitamins, and flavonoids, which are chemical compounds known to lower blood pressure and enhance brain and heart health.
