The first thing to consider is what are you going to use your scooter for?

Trips to the local shops:If you are out and about in town regularly or are away from home and need your scooter to fit into a car for ease, a smaller scooter model would benefit you.

Features to look out for; • easily foldable• maximum speeds of 4mph which is more suitable for a busy environment• a battery that can be charged separately, so it’s easy to recharge ready for your next journey. Consider our Style range of scooters on pages 7-9 or our Betterlife Genie+ Electric Folding Scooter on page 12.

Self-propelled or transit? If you want to get around on your own, choose a chair with push rims on the outside of the wheels. The larger the rear wheel diameter, the more comfortable the ride. So even if you prefer to be pushed, you might prefer a self propel wheelchair.

Electric or not? An electric chair means you’re able to travel further without your arms getting tired. Consider access to your home and storage.

Do you need it to be foldable? Foldable chairs easily fit into a car boot for days out and require less storage space at home.

Solid tyres or pneumatic?Pneumatic tyres for uneven terrain and solid tyres for town use is a good rule of thumb. Solid tyres also give extra peace of mind.

Getting in and outThe lower the seat, the easier it is to get in and out independently. A higher seat is better if you need assistance in transfer. Swing away legrests and flip-up arms make standing transfers easier.

considerwhen buying a scooter

Things to

consider

Exploring: If you live in a more rural area and need a scooter to get you from A to B on a regular basis, you will probably need a larger, road legal model, with a bigger battery life so you can travel further.

Features to look out for; • higher back seats for longer journeys• suspension and pneumatic tyres for a more comfortable ride• speeds of up to 8mph will get you to your destination quicker.

Before you go Remember that keeping safe is the key to enjoying the freedom of the outdoors, so just let a friend or family member know where you’re heading and when you’re likely to head back.

If you have trouble with your memory, or need to give someone that little extra reassurance that you’re okay, check out our Personal GPS Tracker on page 102. This clever device uses a SIM card to help your loved ones find your exact location via Google maps, and you can alert them with a text message if you need their help.

Extra stability If you need help to steady your feet, we have what you need to keep you moving.

Our lightweight Tri Walker on page 31 comes with a shopping bag, which is ideal for giving you stability when you’re nipping to the shops. It’s also very easy to assemble and take down for easy storage.

If it’s power that you want, the Envoy 8+ Scooter on page 11 could help give you the boost that you’ve been looking for. With its 500W motor, LED light and fully functioning indicators, you can really feel the wind in your hair.

Or, if you’re a beginner and you haven’t had a scooter before, the easy-to-use and comfortable Style+ on page 7 could be the one for you.

Late nights If you’re a night owl, we have a walking stick that is sure to keep you on your feet. This walking stick on page 29 comes with a built in LED light and an alarm which sounds out loud to keep you extra safe and alert someone that you require a helping hand.

All our products are available online and in many of our LloydsPharmacy stores. Why not test drive scooters and wheelchairs on the track at your local Betterlife store – visit page 106 to find your nearest.

Where would you like to go?If you or a family member lives with a condition which makes it difficult to move around outside your home, we have a range of products to help you get out and about.

The garden is a great way to strengthen up

Simple things like using gardening tools that can be used whilst seated can help you continue your passion, without compromising your safety. Try the Betterlife Long Reach Gardening Tools range at betterlife.co.uk/catalogue

To help your posture and to keep your muscles supported, try taking a brisk walk around your garden or local area. Aim for a 10-15 minute walk, going further at a gradual pace. If the weather is not on your side, this exercise will work just as well around the house.

Try some endurance exercises that involve strength and flexibility, such as swimming or dancing to keep you active. If you have pain that is more than mild, we recommended that you seek advice from a healthcare professional, for specific exercises to suit you.

You’re more likely to stick at the exercise if it's something you enjoy, so make it fun and try something different, and most importantly keep feeling fit and fabulous!

Feel fabulous and keep enjoying every minute that passes you by. Stay out and about and keep super supple by making the most of your garden.

If not, our guide will help you find the perfect chair for you.

Are you sitting comfortably?

Difficulty getting out of chairs? Look for a riser chair that raises you almost to a standing position.

Single or dual motor?When you recline a chair with a single motor, the backrest and footrest move together. Chairs with a dual motor allow you to adjust the back and footrest independently to find the exact position that’s most comfortable.

Manual recliner chairs...Manual recliner chairs recline as you push back into them. They offer whole body support, allowing you to relax in comfort.

If the chair fits... To help you with your ergonomic comfort, we have included measurements for all our chairs, ensuring you select the right one that’s a perfect fit for you.

Our care & maintenance kits from Staingard have been designed to offer easier cleaning, for everyday stains on your furniture. These kits include gentle, yet effective solutions for regular care and treatment for your chair upholstery.

Have you ever found yourself asking someone to repeat themselves as you couldn’t quite make out what they were saying?What might astonish you is that it takes most people nearly 8 years before they do anything about hearing problems and that an estimated 4 million people in the UK aren’t wearing a hearing aid, when they could benefit from one.

The impact poor hearing can have on someone’s life and those around them cannot be understated. Simple day-to-day tasks like talking on the phone, going shopping and chatting with friends can become stressful for people experiencing hearing loss.

If you recognise any of the following, either in your own hearing or someone else’s, life could be improved by a hearing test: 1. Other people seem to mumble2. People often have to repeat things for you3. You have difficulty understanding what is being said in noisy places4. It’s hard to keep up with group conversation and you get tired because you have to concentrate so much5. Other people have commented that your television or music is too loud6. You often have difficulty hearing on the telephone

Looking after your hearing is important. Whilst there’s no cure for age-related hearing loss, tests are free and modern hearing aids can vastly improve the quality of life for those who use them, enabling them to communicate with ease once again. Remember, you’re not alone in this; good hearing shouldn’t be a luxury. For more information about age-related hearing loss or to book your free test at your local LloydsPharmacy, visit LloydsPharmacy.com/hearing

We don’t want you to miss outSix signs of mild to moderate hearing loss.

Did you know age-related hearing loss affects 70% of 70 year olds and around 40% of all 50 year olds?

Hearing AmplifierDesigned to amplify the hearing volume both indoors and out by up to 40 Db. It sits behind the ear and is supplied with 3 separate attachments for comfort.

What to consider when choosing an electric bed.

Can the bed be adjusted? Adjustable frames allow the bed to be adjusted at different points, to offer you the best position and comfort.

Better sleep starts with the right bed

Which mattress will work for you?

Pocket Sprung? Pocket sprung construction

consists of individual springs bound together to form the mattress and offer excellent support.

Memory Foam? Holds its shape under pressure and

so follows the contours of your body for better support. Memory foam mattresses are warm, so perfect for cold sleepers.

Reflex Foam? Ideal for those who prefer

a firmer mattress.

Your build The 5ft and 6ft beds come with two single mattresses to allow individual adjustment. Consider your weight when choosing the best bed for you, to ensure it is the right size and weight capacity.

A survey by the British Sleep Society revealed that a quarter of 30 to 50 year olds admitted missing out on a significant amount of sleep, some only getting up to 5 hours per night.

Adjust your medicines Take your painkillers at regular intervals throughout the day to reduce the discomfort of pain, including one shortly before bed for maximum effect.

It’s all about routine Train your brain to switch off at the right times with techniques such as a warm bath to relax, adding drops of lavender oil to your pillow or getting up and going to bed around the same time each day.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol Alcohol and caffeinated drinks, such as cola or coffee, can significantly affect the quality of your sleep. Avoiding these will help you sleep better throughout the night.

Get comfortable Have you considered whether your bed is comfortable enough? If your pillow or mattress is too soft or too firm think about changing these to ensure that you’re getting the right support while you sleep. See page 56 for advice on choosing what’s right for you from a selection of our bedroom products.

Make time to wind downIt’s vital that you wind down by avoiding any stimulating activities before bed. For example, instead of watching TV, you could read a book. Keeping your room cool but comfortable and blocking out the light are also factors that could benefit when you’re having trouble sleeping. You could even try taking a warm shower to feel relaxed and stress-free when you sleep.

See your GP if things don’t improve If you’re still feeling tired, lethargic or overwhelmed after taking steps to improve your sleep you should visit your GP.

Trying to get a good night’s sleep?

Sleep is important to your physical and mental health, helping to rejuvenate the body and support a healthy heart and mind. Pain and discomfort are common reasons for a lack of sleep but there are things you can do to improve it and ensure you wake up feeling fresh and well rested.

In detail:• Treatment time of 60mins at a distance of 30cm (12”) • Compact size is perfect for travel to and from work • Fold out stand and wall mounting hook provide a convenient display • Light intensity: 10,000 lux

Can help with the following symptoms: • Subdued mood • Need for more sleep • Loss of appetite • Lack of energy • Difficulty concentrating • Generally feeling under the weather

Are you experiencing a subdued mood, a loss of appetite, a lack of energy, difficulty concentrating, sleepiness or just generally feeling under the weather?

If the answer is yes to any of the above you could be experiencing seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression that’s related to changes in seasons.

When the clocks change it may mean an extra or lost hour in bed, but when the hours of daylight noticeably reduce during the autumn and winter months, people tend to increasingly stay inside and the effects of a lack of daylight can cumulate.

This is often described as ‘winter depression’ or ‘winter blues’ and can affect people in a number of ways. In the medical field, SAD lamps are used to compensate for the effects of a lack of light, as their light intensity of over 10,000 lux is designed to simulate daylight. This light can influence the human body and be used as a treatment or preventative measure.

Could you be experiencing SAD?

• a persistent low mood• a loss of pleasure or interest in normal everyday activities• feeling irritable• feeling stressed or anxious• a reduced sex drive• becoming less sociable• feeling lethargic and sleepy during the day• finding it difficult to concentrate

GravyTo make low-fat gravy, pour the meat juices into a jug and wait for the fat to rise to the surface. Then carefully pour or spoon off the fat before using the juices to make gravy. Pre-made gravy can be high in salt and sugar, so if you have this, try not to add salt to your meal, as too much salt may increase blood pressure. Calorie saving: 79kcal.

This may seem like an impossible task; however with a few small changes, your family and friends don’t have to miss out on that all important classic British roast.

The Healthy Roast

MeatThe key component to any roast dinner is, of course, the meat. This part of your meal isn’t actually that bad for you if you choose carefully. Stop: Lamb or duck. They are the fattiest types of meat you could choose. Swap: Roast chicken or turkey are the leanest white meats and a great source of protein. Try cooking the meat on a roasting rack so the fat runs off into a baking tray. Calorie saving: 142kcal.

Roast PotatoesPotatoes are a good source of carbohydrate and are almost fat free (before they’re roasted in oil or fat). Baked potatoes are just as tasty but much better for you.Stop: 100g of potatoes roasted in oil have 149kcal, 4.5g fat (0.5g saturates) approx.Swap:100g of baked potato has 109kcal, 0.1g fat (0g saturates) approx.

Half of British adults feel at least six years younger than they are, with many adults feeling up to 15 years younger, research reveals.

We asked over 1,500 adults about their views on ageing – providing a fascinating insight into the attitudes of age conscious Brits.

The difference between real age and “inner age” rises steadily as people mature with Brits feeling younger the older they get. This appears to be coupled with an inner confidence that only comes with age.

While 100% of the over 85s feel comfortable in their own skin, this figure dives to 65% among 18 to 24 year olds, then climbs gradually as people age.

In contrast, our study showed that more than half of Britain’s ageing population have felt restricted by their age, with mobility a key factor for the older generations. It probed the public for their fears and hopes about ageing and found that 75% feared losing their fitness and over a third their independence.

Our independent living expert at Betterlife, said: “It’s great to see that the older we get, the more relaxed we are in ourselves, even in our youth-obsessed society. But I sympathise with those who feel restricted by the age-related health and mobility conditions that affect many.

Thankfully there are a growing number of ingenious devices available to help us live a more independent and comfortable life, one that better aligns with the age we feel inside. Even the simplest of gadgets can make a huge difference in breaking down the restrictions of age.”

Do you feel your real age?

Did you know?• 21% feel more than 15 years younger than their actual age• 59% feel younger than their actual age (even if only by a few years)• The things people looked forward to with ageing included experience/wisdom (47%), more time (43%) and financial security (33%)• A third were worried about being less independent

It’s great to see that the older we get, the

more relaxed we are in ourselves, even in our

youth-obsessed society.

Confused about your medication? Need questions answered?

You’re not alone. It’s estimated around 50% of people on regular prescribed medications aren’t taking them correctly. This can cause a number of health problems; if medications are stopped too early the condition can become harder to control, or if they’re taken at the wrong time absorption can be affected.

Here are 3 reasons why a LloydsPharmacy Medicines Check Up may be just what you need:

1. Put your mind at restWorried your medicines may not be working? Tell us about your concerns and you’ll get expert advice on what’s happening. We’ll give you the confidence to manage your condition more effectively.

2. Do the things you loveTaking multiple medications doesn’t have to mean you miss out on doing the things you love. LloydsPharmacy will give you tailored advice so they become part of your routine rather than taking it over. We can also offer suggestions on how you can continue to be active and live life to the fullest.

3. Medicines your wayDid you know the time and the way you take your medications can change your life? Small changes can have a big impact. For example, if you struggle to swallow tablets ask your local LloydsPharmacy if a liquid form is available instead.

If you or someone you know is not seeing the benefits of their medication, a Medicines Check Up could explain why.

It’s a FREE service brought to you by LloydsPharmacy for those in England and Wales where you can have a face-to-face, private conversation with our Pharmacist about the medicines that you’re taking. The aim of the review is to give you a better understanding of your medicines and to help you manage them in the best way to treat or control your condition.
