During the evening we were informed about how we can take control of our own bodies through a number of different approaches. This ranged from breathing techniques to\u00a0 making choices about what actions we can take in order to de &#8211; stress. Less use of mobile phones for constant viewing of news and social media as well as making a positive effort to stand or move were certainly good pointers, particularly in the present crisis. Every participant was able to relate to at least one of the suggestions given and they said how\u00a0 important it was for them to talk to friends and family on the phone and take some form of exercise if they can, such as walking their dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Alka is a GP, Lifestyle Medicine Physician and Heath Coach and has her own website:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/dralkapatel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/dralkapatel.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1604584182027000&amp;usg=AFQjCNERWFWyZd0mmO61nU0S1zNwLv1spQ\">https:\/\/dralkapatel.com\/<\/a>\u00a0 where she gives information\u00a0 about her unique\u00a0 L.I.F.E.S.T.Y.L.E.
