TAKE THIS NEWS WITHOUT A PINCH OF SALT

We hear a lot about attempts to reduce the amount of sugar in the foods and drinks we consume. But lately a sprinkling of stories about the surprising levels of salt in everyday foods – particularly processed foods – has hit the headlines.

Salt, also known as sodium chloride, is essential in our diet. Sodium is responsible for regulating body water content and electrolyte balance and is necessary to help the absorption of certain nutrients and water from the gut. So it’s important not to cut it out completely.

Ceitanna Cooper, Registered Associate Nutritionist at AXA PPP healthcare, comments: “It’s important not to exceed 6g of salt per day. A healthy amount of salt is anything between 1g and 5g, but this does depend on the rest of your diet. Be aware that foods marked as ‘low salt’ often include more sugar or fats to help them retain flavour, so they aren’t necessarily a healthier option.”

Most pre-packed foods are processed to some degree before we eat them, whether they’re minimally processed (like salad mix, bagged dry beans, roasted nuts or frozen fruits and vegetables) or what some nutrition experts refer to as highly or ultra-processed (like ready meals and snack foods). Up to 75% of the salt we consume is found in processed food and food eaten out of the home.

Blood Pressure UK says the amount of salt you eat has a direct effect on your blood pressure: “Salt makes your body hold on to water. If you eat too much, the extra water stored in your body raises your blood pressure.”

The British Heart Foundation says: “High blood pressure isn’t usually something that you can feel or notice, but if you have it you’re more likely to develop coronary heart disease or have a stroke.”

The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet can prevent and control hypertension (high blood pressure) and reduce risk of cardiovascular disease.

With summer just around the corner, the Great British barbeque will be at the forefront of many people’s minds as the days get longer and the evenings warmer. Supermarket shelves will be stocked with products to meet this demand including sausages, fizzy drinks and salad dressings. What many people may not be aware of, however, is the amount of secret salt often in these items.

Popular barbeque foods high in salt include:

· High-fat meats such as sausages and bacon

· Cheese (especially pre-grated or sliced)

· Cold meats such as ham and salami

· Crisps and savoury snacks such as nuts

AXX PPP healthcare has a handy guide to how much salt you should eat – about a teaspoon a day – and how to cut down.

Ceitanna Cooper, Registered Associate Nutritionist at AXA PPP healthcare, recommends: “A simple way to eat less salt is to avoid topping meals with it and to reduce it in the cooking process. Natural salts are already in foods such as vegetables, meat and fish. If you still feel the need for extra flavour, try adding other flavourings such as herbs, spices or balsamic vinegar.”

“Cutting back on added salt is only a small part of the solution,” says Ceitanna. “To really reduce the amount of salt that you eat, you need to know how much salt is in everyday foods that you eat, and then to maintain a balanced diet.”

A simple way to keep track of the salt in your diet is to look at the nutritional information on pre-packed foods to find the amount of salt per 100g.

· High is more than 1.5g salt per 100g (or 0.6g sodium) – the label may display a red traffic light.

· If the amount of salt per 100g is between 0.3g and 1.5g, that’s a medium level and the packaging may display an amber traffic light.

· Low is 0.3g salt or less per 100g (or 0.1g sodium) – the label may display a green traffic light.

If you decide to have a barbeque this summer, keep it healthy with homemade burgers and salad dressings, so you can track how much salt is going into your servings. If you don’t fancy making your own food from scratch, then be sure to check the labels on what you’re buying.

For more information on how to track your salt intake and for tips of how to reduce it, please visit the AXA PPP healthcare website.

Kainos kicks off fifth CodeCamp to develop coding skills in NI students

Northern Ireland’s biggest summer coding event will see record attendance at Queen’s University Belfast for two-week programme

Belfast – 24 JULY 2017 – Kainos, a leading provider of digital services and platforms, today opened its fifth summer CodeCamp for students aged 14-18. In a record year for applications and attendance, 200 students will spend the next two weeks honing their computing and development skills.

CodeCamp 2017 is taking place at the Computer Science Building at Queen’s University Belfast, which provides advanced computing facilities as well as creative workspaces and classrooms. Students will get the chance to experience the latest developments in technology as well as learning basic coding techniques. CodeCamp will provide an important benefit to those following science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects and related career paths.

The camp will help students expand their knowledge of computer coding and develop their professional and business skills. The curriculum at CodeCamp features activities including virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) demonstrations, app development, Raspberry Pi tutorials and breakout talks on a range of programming languages and technologies. Guest speakers will offer career advice and guidance, while Kainos’ professional software engineers will provide mentoring for the up-and-coming coders attending.

“CodeCamp provides a unique opportunity for students to develop valuable skills before graduating from full-time education. It’s also a platform to showcase the technology and software development talent that Northern Ireland is cultivating,” said Gemma Crothers, Tech Outreach manager at Kainos. “Technology skills are essential for the next generation of entrepreneurs, developers and creatives, and it’s important that organisations such as ours lead the way by supporting education in this area.”

The first week will culminate in a Challenge Day, with attendees completing puzzles, timed coding challenges and mini-hacks to unlock prizes and treats. The second week of CodeCamp will conclude with prizes for the top individual and team contributions, and a celebration to mark CodeCamp’s fifth birthday.

“CodeCamp has really sparked my interest! I love going to events where I can work with other people to make something and to work in a team with others,” said Sam Stuart, one of the 200 attendees at this year’s event.

“I really enjoy attending events such as Kainos CodeCamp,” added attendee Néamh Agnew. “They show me different ways to design things and teach me how to use new software and in my opinion, they are really fun to attend and are a great way to meet new people!”

CodeCamp runs from 24 July – 4 August 2017. For more information, please visit www.kainos.com/codecamp

Voices.com Acquires Voicebank.net Move underscores Voices.com’s global leadership position and enables the Company to now address all market segments

Voices.com​, the largest global online marketplace for audio and voice over products and services, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Voicebank.net, a leading online platform for casting and project management workflow utilized by more than 1,600 of the top global advertising agencies, casting directors and creative, television and film production studios.

THE BACKPACK THAT DOES IT ALL – SCRUBBA STEALTH PACK.

A weatherproof travel backpack that is set to make travel easier, lighter and cleaner by doubling as a washing machine and camp shower, has just been launched on IndieGoGo by Calibre8 Pty Ltd.
Designed especially for travel and the outdoors, the Scrubba stealth pack is Calibre8’s most versatile product yet. A seemingly ordinary backpack at first glance, the stealth pack is loaded with features that enable it to variously function as a portable washing machine, compression dry bag, and makeshift camp shower, all in unparalleled style. By rolling several functions into one lightweight (455g/16 oz), durable backpack, the company aims to help travellers pack smaller and go further.
Now available for preorder on IndieGoGo with early bird discounts of up to 50% off the US$99.95 RRP: https://igg.me/at/stealth.
Equipped with the signature Scrubba internal washboard that allows for clean clothes anywhere, but finished in a sleek ‘stealth’ black fabric and offering 40% larger capacity than the wash bag from which it has evolved, the Scrubba stealth pack marks an important development in Calibre8’s range. Managing director, Ash Newland, said the company’s eagerness to innovate in accordance with the changing needs of travellers and other outdoor enthusiasts, made the decision to develop the stealth pack an easy one.
“As an avid traveller myself, I’m always keen to develop gear that will enable people to see the world as efficiently as possible. This is why the stealth pack offers several handy features including gear loops, a sternum strap, sunglass loops, and a carry handle. With a 21 litre capacity that is compatible with most laptop sizes, the stealth pack is also perfect for basic day trips or long-haul flights, and is spacious enough to easily wash larger items, including jeans.”
Always looking to solve the problems routinely encountered by travellers, Newland explained that the stealth pack’s features have been carefully designed to ensure not only comfort, style, and convenience, but also a surprising versatility:
“The stealth pack’s TPU coated nylon, flexible internal washboard, XL twist valve, and modular shoulder straps enable it to variously function as a weatherproof backpack, portable washing machine, camp shower, and compression dry bag. We have therefore created a totally unique, multifunctional product that negates the need to carry an excessive amount of gear, thus making journeys of all shapes and sizes easier.”
Weatherproof day bag
Finished in a sleek black, TPU coated nylon, offering a 21 litre capacity, and equipped with detachable shoulder straps and an adjustable sternum strap, the stealth pack is a durable, weatherproof backpack that has been built specially for travel and the outdoors.
Portable washing machine
Scrubba Wash Bag 2
The Scrubba stealth pack features a flexible, internal washboard that provides a machine-quality wash anywhere in just minutes. Simply add water, cleaning liquid, and your clothes to the bag before sealing it, twisting open the valve, deflating, and rubbing for 3 minutes. A quick rinse in the bag and clothes are ready to be hung to dry.
Compression bag
The Scrubba stealth pack’s XL twist-style valve enables the bag to compress down for maximum portability, making it easy to insert into a larger suitcase or backpack to achieve the smallest, lightest luggage possible. Simply fill the stealth pack, roll down and clip the pack closed, open the valve and press out air, then wrap and clip the shoulder straps around the pack.
Camp shower
Hanging the stealth pack via the modular shoulder straps and opening the twist-valve to release a slow, steady stream of water, transforms the backpack into an outdoor shower that is perfect for overnight treks, camping out in the wilderness, or quickly rinsing off after a trip to the beach.

About the company:
Australian company Calibre8 Pty Ltd was founded in 2012 by managing director and patent attorney Ash Newland as a way of commercializing the Scrubba wash bag. To date, over 100,000 Scrubba wash bags have been sold around the world, helping to make journeys of all shapes and sizes easier. In 2015 Calibre8 Pty Ltd appeared on Australian Shark Tank, where both Janine Allis and Steve Baxter invested in the company. As part of its commitment to helping those in need, Calibre8 has contributed over USD35,000 to the funding of successful clean water projects in Bangladesh and Ethiopia.

FOOD ARTIST CREATES PORTRAITS OF ANDY MURRAY & NOVAK DJOKOVIC​

GAME, SET, MUNCH! INTRODUCING ANDY CURRY, NOVAK DJOKO-CHIPS AND CAROLINE TERIYAKI

hungryhouse.co.uk serves up ace food art of Wimbledon’s top tennis stars

​

With top tennis pros set to tuck into a takeaway after a carb-burning two weeks at Wimbledon, online food ordering platform, hungryhouse.co.uk is celebrating the sporting event of the summer with a tasty twist. Marking the tournament, hungryhouse has released three mouth-watering portraits of the nation’s favourite tennis stars, inspired by classic takeaway guilty pleasures.

Each piece has been made in collaboration with food art guru Prudence Staite, from Andy Curry (Andy Murray), created with chicken curry, mango chutney and traditional Indian side dishes, to Caroline Teriyaki (Caroline Wozniaki) consisting of noodles, chicken teriyaki, wok-fried veg and a sprinkling of sesame seeds. Serbian sporting hero Novak Djoko-chips (Novak Djokovic) has also been served up with french fries, onion rings, nuggets and burgers, topped off with Ketchup and mayo.

Renowned food artist, Prudence Staite, said: “I have created a lot of food art over the years, but I’ve never taken up a takeaway challenge like this before. After a gruelling two weeks on the tennis courts at SW19, these sporting stars certainly deserve a tasty treat.”

Other famous faces created by Staite include a popcorn Denzel Washington, the Queen made from cupcakes and a life size replica of Dita Von Teese, made from cheese.

Alice Mrongovious, CEO of hungryhouse, said: “As the competition hots up, we are celebrating the top tennis players at Wimbledon this year, with a series of fantastic foodie artwork that look good enough to eat.”

Each piece of art used up 17 different types of food, taking a smashing 18 hours to create all three celebrity faces. Head to @hungryhouse Facebook page to watch the behind the scenes transformation, from blank canvas to mouth-watering masterpiece.

ALLEZ GULLIVER’S! THEME PARK HOSTS ELITE FRENCH YOUTH RUGBY TEAM

GULLY and his gang have been taking some lessons in rugby league with the arrival of a youth team from France.

A French under 16s rugby league team have made their base-camp at Gulliver’s World Hotel, Warrington, as they prepare for games against other teams in the region.

The team, an elite XIII made up of players from the Provence section of the PACA league in France, an area which covers Provence, the Alpine region and the Côte d’Azur, are staying at Gulliver’s for their third consecutive year as they compete in their ten day tour of England.
Florian Chautard, PACA’s technical advisor for the Provence region and the team’s coach on the tour, said: “It’s our third time staying at the Gulliver’s Hotel, it’s good for the boys to spend ten days in these conditions because the rooms are very large and the atmosphere is very calm so we can prepare for the games. And, of course, we can go into the theme park and go on some of the rides.”

While staying at Gulliver’s the team will be heading out to compete against teams in the surrounding area which is a real hot-bed for rugby league in England.

Patrick Golden, General Manager for Gulliver’s Hotel, Warrington, said: “It’s great to have the lads here again. This is their third time staying with us and we always enjoy having them here. They’ve even been showing Gully Mouse a couple of techniques with the ball. I would like to wish them the best of luck for a successful tour and look forward to seeing them again next year.”

They have certainly been taking advantage of the facilities at Gulliver’s by using the staff meeting room for physio sessions before and after their gruelling matches.

The players taking part in the tour are all academy players who train every day with their respective clubs in the South of France with the hope that they will one day make it to the professional level.

And for some of them this may not be their last time travelling to Warrington as one day they may be playing for or competing against the Wolves at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

SUPERDRUG IS FIRST HIGH STREET RETAILER TO OFFER A CHICKENPOX VACCINATION SERVICE

Chickenpox is a very common childhood illness, particularly in the under tens and with nearly 8 million 1 to 10 year olds in the UK,[1] Superdrug has today become the first UK high street retailer to announce it is now able to offer customers a chickenpox vaccination service in selected Health Clinics across the country.

Chickenpox is an incredibly common illness particularly among children at primary school and is caused by a highly contagious virus (called Varicella Zoster) normally caught during childhood. The chickenpox vaccination is not part of the routine childhood vaccination schedule in the UK, and is currently only available on the NHS for those who are at high risk of spreading the virus to particularly vulnerable people such as those with weakened immune systems (as a result of HIV or treatments like chemotherapy), or non-immune healthcare workers.

Dr. Pixie, Superdrug’s Health and Wellbeing Ambassador, commented, “Chickenpox is often seen as a rite of passage in childhood resulting in anything from a very mild to a more serious infection in different people. Even in straightforward cases spot picking can lead to long term scarring which can linger long after the infection is gone. A chickenpox immunisation has been available for many years but not on the high street until now. Having suffered from severe chicken pox at the age of 19 I would far rather have undergone the vaccine than be struck down with the infection!”

Although not harmful to most of those who catch it, chickenpox can be unpleasant as it also carries symptoms such as an itchy red rash of spots and blisters and a fever. Other symptoms could include tiredness, nausea, headache, muscle ache and loss of appetite. In most cases, the symptoms tend to subside after one week. Chickenpox can become dangerous if caught by patients with an impaired immune system, newborn babies and pregnant women. Once you have chickenpox, you should be immune to it for life, however one in three who have had chickenpox will go on to develop shingles later in life[2]. If you haven’t suffered from chickenpox as a child, it is still possible to contract it as an adult. Chickenpox tends to be more severe in adults with increased risk of pneumonia, hepatitis and encephalitis.

The vaccination is available at £65 per dose, and two doses – four to eight weeks apart – are recommended to give heightened immune protection. However the NHS states that 9 out of 10 children vaccinated with a single dose will develop immunity against chickenpox[3].

Available in 58 of its nurse and pharmacist Health Clinic stores, the addition of the vaccination service to Superdrug’s in-store healthcare services continues to highlight the increasing accessibility of healthcare on the high street.

A person can contract chickenpox by touching a contaminated surface or object or just by being in close contact with someone already infected, which includes being in the same room for more than 15 minutes. Someone with chickenpox is infectious from one or two days before a rash appears until any subsequent blisters have crusted over.

An immunisation against chickenpox has routinely been offered to children under the age of 13 in the US for over 20 years. This has had a dramatic effect on the number of clinic and hospital visits there[4].

Nicola Hart, Head of Healthcare Services at Superdrug added, “We’re delighted to be the first high street retailer to offer a vaccination service against one of the most common childhood illnesses; chickenpox. Its availability at our nurse clinics and pharmacies across the UK enables customers to have their vaccination at a convenient high street location.”

To ensure privacy and comfort, vaccinations are administered by a trained Pharmacist or Nurse in a private consultation room following an in-depth consultation. To make an appointment, please call Superdrug’s booking line on 03331 223 523, or to find out more visit: https://healthclinics.superdrug.com/services/chickenpox-vaccination

South Africa’s grapple with transformation in sport

By Rupert Candy, Senior Associate, Webber Wentzel

Rupert is a litigator in Dispute Resolution and holds a certificate in Sport Law from the University of Pretoria

South Africa’s constitutional democracy ushered in an era of hope and change for all South Africans, particularly those South Africans who were oppressed by discriminatory laws, through the brutality of colonialism and apartheid. This oppression and discrimination cut across all sections of South African society; political, social, economic, and across the sporting front. Our constitution, as the supreme law of the land, seeks to break away from this past, by adopting a new era for South Africans, one that is characterised by the fundamental values of human dignity, freedom, and equality In order to achieve the constitutionally entrenched right to equality, our law recognizes that it is necessary to address the injustices of the past, by adopting measures that seek to promote and advance persons who were affected by the aforementioned, unjust legislation of the past. It is however imperative, that the measures taken must be rational, and linked to a legitimate, governmental objective.

In this regard, various transformation laws, such as the Employment Equity Act, and the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act have been passed. Transformation in South African sport is a controversial topic in South Africa, but it ought not to be.

The often, emotional debates around transformation in South African sport have mainly been centred on the two main sporting codes of rugby and cricket, which are steeped in South African sporting culture. They have traditionally being instilled into the lives of young people from an early age, from the corridors of the country’s best schools, to the lush sports fields of private sports clubs. The prestige and honour is breath-taking. Sponsorship is provided from the countries’ largest, well-established corporate entities. However, access to playing these sports has traditionally been skewed in favour of previously advantaged, White individuals. The vast majority, include the generic composition of Black, Coloured and Indian historically disadvantaged individuals were excluded. It is not to say that these persons did not, or could not, play these sports, but they were confined to playing these sports in inferior conditions, with poor facilities. Since 1994 change has been slow. This was due to both the lack of Black representation in the aforementioned sports, particularly from the provincial ranks upwards, as well as due to a lack of rigorous governmental and union/franchise effort, particularly at grassroots level.

The ongoing saga was firmly placed onto the national, and to some extent, the international agenda, in April 2016, when the government announced its decision to withdraw its support for the rugby, cricket netball and athletics federations bidding to host international events. Predictably, the reaction was emotional and divided. Some decried the announcement by the Minister of Sport and Recreation, by suggesting that the government should not interfere with the federations, whilst others felt that the announcement was long overdue. The announcement was made after the publication of the 2014/15 report of the Eminent Persons Group who conceded that they failed to meet their own transformation targets. It can be argued that being a federation that subscribes to South Africa’s constitutional, democratic values, means that these targets should not have to be imposed upon on them, but rather, they should do so naturally and voluntarily. It is worth noting that in terms of the EPG report, SAFA were reprimanded for failing to roll-out soccer in former model C and private schools, as well as in suburban areas, where white South African talent may be found.

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996, section 9(2), reads as follows ‘Equality includes the full and equal enjoyment of all rights and freedoms. To promote the achievement of equality, legislative and other measures designed to protect or advance persons, or categories of persons, disadvantaged by unfair discrimination may be taken’.

In Minister of Finance & another v Van Heerden 2004 (6) SA 121 (CC) the Constitutional Court, “It seems to me that to determine whether a measure falls within s 9(2) the enquiry is threefold. The first yardstick relates to whether the measure targets persons or categories of persons who have been disadvantaged by unfair discrimination; the second is whether the measure is designed to protect or advance such persons or categories of persons; and the third requirement is whether the measure promotes the achievement of equality.”

However, it is imperative, that the measures taken are rational, and linked to a legitimate governmental objective.

In December 2016, the Supreme Court of Appeal in Minister of Justice v The SA Restructuring & Insolvency Practitioners Association (“SARIPA”) (693/15) [2016] ZASCA 196, also endorsed the Van Heerden judgment, and held that “Due to our country’s history and the constitutional obligation, post democracy, to redress the past injustices, measures directed at affirmative action may in some instances embody preferential treatment and numerical goals, but cannot amount to quotas. In advancing employment equity and transformation, flexibility and inclusiveness is required. Remedial measures must operate in a progressive manner assisting those who, in the past, were deprived of the opportunity to access the relevant requirements necessary to enter the insolvency profession, but such remedial measures must not trump the rights of previously advantaged insolvency practitioners. Rigidity in the application of the policy or which has the effect of establishing a barrier to the future advancement of such previously advantaged insolvency practitioners, is frowned upon and runs contrary to s 9(2) of the Constitution”.

Transformation, including in South African sport, is supported by the constitution, and a body of judicial weight. As long as the measures taken are pursuant to a well thought out plan, that is rational, and linked to a legitimate governmental objective, the measures taken would survive judicial scrutiny.

It is imperative that our sporting teams reflect the demographics of our country. To this end, access to playing these sports must be fair, and transparent. Greater funding ought to be provided at the appropriate levels, both by the public and private sector, if we are to truly achieve our aim to be a winning nation.

There have been many success stories over the years, who have come though as historically disadvantaged players, and not as part of a quota system, but rather, strictly, on merit. Players such as Tendai Mtawarira, Siya Kolisi, Bryan Habana, Hashim Amla, Vernon Philander, Kagiso Rabada, Temba Bavuma, Keshav Maharaj etc. have all donned their national jerseys with pride and have performed exemplary. Given the background that most HDIs come from, the search needs to continue to find future generations of stars that all South Africans can identify with.

One of the arguments raised by some who don’t appear to support transformation is the soccer argument, that is, “what about transformation in South African soccer? There are no white South Africans in the national team”. This argument is flawed, in that unlike with historically disadvantaged individuals in rugby and cricket, white South Africans were never excluded from the professional ranks in South African football. There were many white South Africans who played in the apartheid years for professional clubs in South Africa, including those clubs whose home grounds were in black townships. Players such as Les Grobler, Mark and Neil Tovey, Noel Cousins, Raymond Hack, Jimmy Cook (also a former professional cricketer), Jimmy “Brixton Tower” Joubert, etc. were well known in South African soccer circles. These players were admired by many South African soccer fans, as they played with and against people of all races, in defiance of the apartheid laws of the time. There is therefore no previous exclusion that needs to be cured.

Transformation in South African sport is not only necessary from a moral point of view, but also from a legal point of view. This is supported by the constitution and courts such as the Supreme Court of Appeal and the Constitutional Court. As long as the measures adopted are rational and linked to a legitimate governmental objective, then it will be legally acceptable.

DELICOUS DORSET CEREALS’ BIRCHER MUESLI

IN TWO TANTALISING FLAVOURS – ALMOND & HONEY AND RASBERRY & BLACKCURRANT

Both variants are available in Sainsbury’s, Waitrose (in-store and online) and Ocado.com at an RRP of £3.49.

​For high-res images, recipes or any samples – please contact dorset@wcommunications.co.uk / 07403 562 516

With warmer weather here for the summer and overnight oats continuing to be the most popular breakfast option, Dorset Cereals’ Bircher Muesli mix is the perfect choice for keeping on trend this summer. With two variants on offer – Almonds & Honey and Raspberry & Blackcurrant – the mix provides easy-eating, light comfort food that can be enjoyed throughout the sunnier seasons.

Inspired by a recipe invented over 100 years ago in Switzerland, Dorset Cereals mill their oats until fine and delicate before adding dried fruit and nuts into the mix to create a wholesome balanced breakfast in just a single serving.

Dorset Cereals’ Almonds & Honey Bircher Muesli mix

Provides a nutty texture to the blend of oats and barley, complimenting the sweetness of the honey.

Dorset Cereals’ Raspberry and Blackcurrant Bircher Muesli mix

Oozes a strong fruity taste, combining sliced apple, dried raspberries and blackcurrants that will tantalise taste buds and is high in vital anti-oxidants.

Traditionally, Bircher Muesli is to be left over night for the magic to happen, however Dorset Cereals’ simple recipe allows cereal lovers to tuck into their bowl of goodness after just 30 minutes of leaving the oats to soak – a quick and easy, high fibred breakfast to help keep energy levels up until lunch time.

The Bircher Muesli mix can be used as a base for any type of recipe – whether fruity or nutty. The finely milled oats and dried fruit can be soaked with milk, to achieve a creamy rich taste, or for the more adventurous food palate, apple juice creates a sweeter fresh flavour. Just to add texture, simply top with fresh fruit, seeds and yoghurt.

Both variants are available in Waitrose, in-store and online, and on Ocado.com at an RRP of £3.49.

The Bircher Muesli mix is so versatile it can be used as a base for several breakfast ideas; why not try Dorset Cereals recommended recipes:

THE BRITISH 10K KICKS OFF IN WESTINSTER

Today Virgin Sport’s Inaugural British 10k took participants around some of the world’s most iconic landmarks

Westminster, 9th July, 2017: The streets of London came alive today, with the annual Virgin Sport British 10k taking centre stage in Westminster. The hugely popular annual race took runners down the Embankment and past the likes of Big Ben, Trafalgar Square and Westminster Abbey. For those looking for a new summer wardrobe, the unique race takes you along Regent’s Street past some of the best shops in London.

The 2017 British 10k was won by Scott Overall and Gemma Steel with times of 31:05 minutes and 33:36 minutes respectively. Scott said of his time “I decided at the first kilometer to really go for it. I love running in London and the route was great fun.” Gemma said, “I travelled down from the Midlands to run today. It was a tough gig today but I really wanted to test myself. The support from the crowds was amazing; I’ve never known anything like it!”

Virgin Sport CEO Mary Wittenberg added, “We love being in London! Everybody in the community has been so supportive of what we’re trying to achieve and we feel like everybody has really embodied the Virgin Sport spirit. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without assistance from a number of community groups, charities and local running clubs, so the fact that they’re all so willing to be involved is incredible”.

Virgin Sport prides itself on encouraging participation at all levels, and stress that the 10k is about getting more people moving together. That’s why they have partnered with the BackPackers, one project from Chevy Rough’s Chasing Lights Collective. The BackPackers support all those runners who were maybe too intimidated before to join in. On Sunday they supported as official pacers offering “Joggy,” “Joggier,” and “Walk/Jog” paces to support everyone taking on the challenge. Community Captain of the Backpackers and Pacer Leeanne Adu explains, “I’ll never be an elite runner. I know how it feels to finish last in a race and that’s why I started doing what I do. Running with like-minded runners in the Virgin Sport British 10k, not worrying that you’re holding anyone up and identifying why you’re there in the first place is what’s important to us.”

The 2017 British 10k included:

The British 10k: A relatively flat 10k, running past a host of incredibly iconic and historical buildings through the epicenter of London’s Westminster

Music: Route entertainment (every KM) included tribute bands such as Not The Rolling Stones and Vox Beatles, along with Royal AirForce Cadets and the British Military Brass Band.

British History: The route featured British heroes Admiral Nelson and Florence Nightingale who supported along the route offering up educational facts about British history.

Virgin Sport has continued their partnership with the Youth Sport Trust to leave a legacy within the local community. Virgin Sport and Youth Sport Trust are passionate about enhancing the lives of all young people by providing better access to physical education, physical activity, and sport.

Registration for the Virgin Sport Oxford Half Marathon on 8th October 2017 and is now live on VirginSport.com. Participants can register themselves, friends, teams and fans. Enjoy one of the most picturesque half marathon’s you will ever embark on.

Today Virgin Sport has also opened registrations for the Hackney Festival of Fitness 2018 featuring the Hackney Half Marathon on the 20th May.

Virgin Sport British 10k was the second Virgin Sport event of 2017, following Hackney (30 April), before further events this year in Oxford (8th October) and San Francisco (13-15 October).

Virgin Sport is co-located in New York City and London, and led by CEO Mary Wittenberg, former President/CEO of New York Road Runners and Race Director for the New York City Marathon.
