Men’s Health Week This year Men’s Health Week is taking place from 15th – 21st June. Health today is best viewed from a holistic perspective – and good health means having a healthy body AND a healthy mind. International Men’s Health Week, is reminding men about the importance of maintaining a healthy body and mind. The overall aims of Men’s Health Week are to: ❖ Heighten awareness of preventable health problems for males of all ages ❖ Support men and boys to engage in healthier lifestyle choices / activities ❖ Encourage the early detection and treatment of health difficulties in males ❖ It’s vital to spread the message of Men’s Health Week because studies consistently show men are much less likely to visit a doctor, or even notice signs of illness, than women are. Men's Health Week 2020 Theme is 'Take Action on Covid-19'. For men to: ❖ take action to avoid spreading the virus ❖ take action to get the best out of lockdown and the 'new normal' ❖ take action to beat 'underlying conditions

If you are worried about stress then you must talk to someone! We all know how good it is to talk when you really connect with someone. Talking lets us see the solution for ourselves in a way thinking alone can’t. We’re not alone. We often share the same problems. If symptoms are making you unwell it would be advisable to seek help from a medical professional.

Counsellor’s Corner You may be hearing a lot on the news at the moment about loss - and one of the most difficult kinds of loss, as people lose their lives to the virus. A lot of people have lost loved ones this year - perhaps before their time - and that is an incredibly difficult fact to come to terms with. I think it is also important to think about other kinds of loss as well. Because one way or another we have all had to face loss this year – in more ways than one.

As I opened up my diary this week, I was yet again faced with the task of crossing out the plans which I had made some time ago, which now have to be cancelled due to the pandemic. I would imagine I’m not the only one doing this - particularly as summer arrives, which can often be one of the busiest and most social times of the year. I overheard somebody say recently that they can’t complain about missing out on things, when compared to others in worse situations. But when we compare losses in this way we invalidate our own emotions, which over time can have very negative consequences for our wellbeing.

❖ Exams ❖ Routines Here are just a few of the things ❖ Playing Sports ❖ Seeing Friends you may have lost this year: ❖ Celebrations ❖ School Summer Term ❖ Family gatherings ❖ Sports Events ❖ School trips ❖ Holidays

In time, we can rearrange many of these things, but while we are still in a place of such uncertainty, the feelings of loss might bring up some strong emotions in you. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross identified five specific phases which she says all humans tend to feel when they are facing loss in their life: 1. Denial: Feeling shocked or emotionally ‘numb’ to what is happening 2. Anger 3. Bargaining: Trying to negotiate a way out of the situation by making promises to ourselves or others 4. Depression/Sadness 5. Acceptance: where we acknowledge the reality of the situation without trying to change it.

These phases may come and go and won’t necessarily happen in this order. But it’s important to recognise that they are a normal part of the process of loss and, although these are uncomfortable feelings, they won’t stay this way forever. There is also now thought to be a sixth phase of loss, which is finding meaning. This is a way of viewing the situation that cushions us from the difficulty of it. This can only really be found in your own experience of a situation and what you’re taking away from it to carry with you in life. Some of you may have already found a new way of looking at things as a result of this experience. If you have been feeling any of the feelings mentioned here, recognise that these may be a natural response to what is happening around us, and in time that these will pass. However, if these feelings become too overwhelming, please do speak to someone about them. Take care, Jess

Chaplain’s Chat What harm can it do, it's just one glance....the Bible again and again speaks of the dangers of what we look at and of what we say. It is not naive, the Bible does not conceive of humanity as innocent from birth and then slowly corrupted by outside influences...but it does place great emphasis on using our eyes and our mouths for good. In the sermon on the mount, famously Jesus says: The eye is the lamp of the body. So if you eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. The point is clear - what we look at (and, in other places, what we say) can have either a corrupting influence or an enlightening one. The small choices we make each day, what we choose to say and what we choose not to say, what we choose to look at and what we choose not to look at....all these make up our characters, who we are deep within ourselves. My prayer for the Eltham community, as for myself, is that we will be those who make enlightening choices rather than corrupting ones.

Wordwheel How many words can you find from this week’s wordwheel?

The rules of the game are very simple. The goal is to make as many words as you can make from the letters in the word wheel, using each letter once, and all the words should contain the letter in the centre of the wheel.

It is possible to make one word that uses every letter on the wheel!

See how many you can find!

Answers will be in the next edition of the Foxbury Gazette.

Body Language – The Mouth Body Language is a significant aspect of modern communications and relationships. Communication includes listening. In terms of observable body language, non-verbal (non- spoken) signals are being exchanged whether these signals are accompanied by spoken words or not. The mouth is perhaps the ultimate multi-function orifice as we use it for communicating, breathing and eating. The mouth is involved in the expression of many different emotions. Mouth expressions and movements can also be essential in reading body language. For example, chewing on the bottom lip may indicate that the individual is experiencing feelings of worry, fear, or insecurity. Studies have shown that people who are good at identifying emotions tend to watch the other person's mouth more than their eyes, as has previously been thought.

Breathing We usually breath through the nose, but when we need more oxygen we use the mouth to gulp in greater amounts of air. • A person who is frightened or angry by the fight-or- flight reaction may well open their mouth to get more oxygen in preparation for combat or running away. This may also involve breathing faster (panting). • Stressed breathing may even include gulping air and blowing it out. At worst a person may hyperventilate, breathing too fast and becoming dizzy, even to the point of collapse. • Yawning is a process of taking a deep gulp of air as a quick 'pick-me-up' and often indicate a person who is tired or bored. A short, deep, exhaling sigh, can indicate sadness, frustration or boredom. • Short inhalation, particularly in a sequence, can be like silent sobs and hence be an indicator of deep and suppressed sadness. • Slow, deep breathing, sometimes with slightly parted lips, may indicate someone who is relaxing or meditating. With closed eyes, they are seldom aware of what is going on around them and this may be done as an escape.

Speaking The mouth sends additional signals when it is speaking. If the mouth moves little, perhaps including incoherent mumbling, this may indicate an unwillingness to speak, for example from shyness or from a fear of betraying themselves. A mouth that moves a lot during speech can indicate excitement or dominance as it sends clear signals that 'I am speaking, do not interrupt!' Careful shaping of words can also indicate a person with auditory preferences or a concern for precision and neatness. Fast speakers are often visual thinkers who are trying to get out what they are seeing. They may also be looking upwards. Slow speakers may be deep thinkers who are being careful about finding the right words. They may also have an auditory preference as they carefully enunciate each word.

You Smile, I Smile “A smile has a magical power; it makes everyone smile back.” ― Debasish Mridha. Smiling is such a powerful tool that has the ability to make you and others feel happy; it can ease fear, insecurity, hurt and anxiety. Like a yawn, it is very infectious! Try smiling right now for a few seconds. How does it make you feel? Has it lifted your mood? You can feel it in your cheeks, it brings about happy thoughts that improve your mood. Whenever you feel low, force yourself to smile… it will make a difference! Smiling is perhaps one of the greatest body language signals, but smiles can also be interpreted in many ways. A smile may be genuine, or it may be used to express false happiness, sarcasm, or even cynicism. When evaluating body language, pay attention to the following mouth and lip signals: Pursed lips. Tightening the lips might be an indicator of distaste, disapproval, or distrust. Lip biting. People sometimes bite their lips when they are worried, anxious, or stressed. Covering the mouth. When people want to hide an emotional reaction, they might cover their mouths in order to avoid displaying smiles or smirks. Turned up or down. Slight changes in the mouth can also be subtle indicators of what a person is feeling. When the mouth is slightly turned up, it might mean that the person is feeling happy or optimistic. On the other hand, a slightly down-turned mouth can be an indicator of sadness, disapproval, or even an outright grimace.

Smiling is infectious. Not only does it have the power to lift your mood, but also has the power to pass happiness onto others. You can turn someone’s whole day around with just a smile!

Healthy Smiles Why is a healthy smile important? An attractive and healthy smile is important when meeting people and making friends. And it can boost your confidence and help you feel good about yourself. If you don't look after your teeth and gums properly you could suffer from a number of different conditions that will make you stand out from the crowd for all the wrong reasons: ❖ Bad breath ❖ Stained teeth ❖ Tooth decay ❖ Gum disease ❖ Tooth loss

❖ Dental erosion Why is a healthy diet important for my oral health? Every time you eat or drink anything sugary, your teeth are under acid attack for up to one hour. This is because the sugar reacts with the bacteria in plaque and produces harmful acids. Plaque is a build-up of bacteria which forms on your teeth. It is better to have three or four meals a day rather than lots of snacks, and avoid sugary snacks. What is dental erosion? Dental erosion is the gradual loss of tooth enamel caused by acid attacks. Enamel is the hard, protective coating of the tooth. If it is worn away, the dentine underneath is exposed, and your teeth can look discoloured and become sensitive. Drink up Acidic foods and drinks and fizzy drinks cause dental erosion. Still water and milk are the best things to drink. Tea without sugar is also good for teeth as it contains fluoride. Drink fruit juice just at mealtimes. If you want to drink fruit juices

between meals, try diluting them with water. What effects will smoking, alcohol or taking drugs have on my oral health? Smoking can cause tooth staining, gum disease, tooth loss and - more seriously - mouth cancer. Smoking is also one of the main causes of bad breath. Alcoholic drinks can also cause mouth cancer. If you smoke and drink you are more at risk. Alcohol can also increase the risk of tooth decay and erosion. Some alcoholic drinks have a lot of sugar in them, and some mixed drinks may contain acids. So they can cause decay or dental erosion if you drink them often and in large amounts. Illegal drugs can lead to a range of health problems. Smoking cannabis can have the same effects as smoking tobacco. Other drugs can cause a dry mouth and increase the risk of erosion, decay, gum disease and bad breath. Drugs can also cause you to grind your teeth, which can cause headaches and other problems. Many drugs can cause a craving for sugar, such as sweets and fizzy drinks,

When you are able to – you should visit a dentist regularly. Your dentist may ask you questions about your lifestyle choices and general health because these may affect the health of your mouth.

How can I improve my smile? An orthodontic appliance (‘brace') will straighten or move your teeth to improve their appearance and the way they work. It can also help to improve the long-term health of your teeth, gums and jaw joints by spreading the biting pressure over all the teeth. There are many different types of brace and your dental team or orthodontist will be able to talk to you about what is best for you. Many people want to have whiter teeth. The only person who can whiten your teeth legally for you is a dentist, although there are 'home whitening kits' you can buy, you need to be over 18 to purchase these.

What are the dangers of mouth piercing? ❖ Infection. ❖ The surrounding tissues can become inflamed. ❖ Blood infections. ❖ The tongue can swell. ❖ Teeth can chip and break. ❖ It can be difficult to talk, eat and swallow. ❖ It is difficult to keep your mouth clean. ❖ Dental treatment can be difficult. How can I protect my teeth when playing sports? A mouthguard will help protect you against broken and damaged teeth, and even a broken or dislocated jaw. It is important to wear a professionally made mouthguard whenever you play any sport that involves contact or moving objects. Ask your dental team about a mouthguard. It is a small price to pay for peace of mind. Top tips for teens ❖ Brush your teeth last thing at night and at least one other time during the day. Use a toothbrush with a small- to medium-sized brush head with soft to medium bristles, and brush for two minutes. ❖ You should use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste that contains 1350ppm to 1500ppm fluoride. ❖ Have sugary food and drinks just at mealtimes. ❖ Visit your dental team at least once a year, or as often as they recommend. ❖ Clean in between your teeth with ‘interdental' brushes or floss at least once a day, to help remove plaque and food from between your teeth. ❖ Use a mouthwash to freshen your breath and kill bacteria. ❖ Use a straw if you have fizzy drinks, as this helps the drink to go to the back of your mouth and reduces the number of acid attacks on your teeth. ❖ Wait for at least one hour after eating or drinking anything acidic before you brush your teeth. ❖ Chew sugar-free gum after eating to help make more saliva and cancel out the acids which form in your mouth after eating.

Going Bananas Banana smoothie Plain, unsweetened yoghurt makes a versatile base for all kinds of tooth-friendly drinks and desserts. As well as being rich in calcium, yoghurt can help to neutralise the acids in your mouth. This recipe includes bananas for a phosphorus boost that's also beneficial for your teeth! Ingredients Directions 2 cups milk Put all the 2 bananas ingredients ½ cup plain yogurt together in a 1 tablespoon honey blender (if you're ½ teaspoon cinnamon using frozen 6 ice cubes bananas, you don't need ice). Blend and serve! Bananas are the UK’s most popular fruit. On average we each eat 10kg of bananas every year (about 100 bananas). There are hundreds of edible varieties that fall into two distinct species: the banana and the plantain banana. The most popular type of banana is the large, yellow, smooth-skinned variety of sweet banana. This banana Musa sapienta varies in size and colour and is usually eaten raw. The larger, green bananas are known as plantains. Plantain bananas are prepared in a similar way to vegetables in that they are usually cooked or fried. Nutritional highlights Bananas are an excellent source of potassium and supply vitamin B6, fibre and carbohydrate, and some vitamin C. Since they have a lower water content than most fruit, bananas typically have more calories as well as a higher sugar content compared to other non-tropical fruits. A 100g serving provides 81kcal, 20.3g of carbohydrate, 1.4g fibre and 18.1g of natural sugar. Unripe bananas have a higher starch content. As they ripen, the starch is converted to sugar (and the fruit becomes sweeter). Green bananas are also a good source of pectin, which is a type of dietary fibre found in fruits and helps them keep their structural form. Pectin breaks down when a banana becomes overripe, which causes the fruit to become softer.

Health benefits Bananas are loaded with valuable micronutrients, especially potassium. Potassium is one of the most important electrolytes in the body, helping to regulate heart function as well as fluid balance – a key factor in regulating blood pressure. The effectiveness of potassium-rich foods such as bananas, in lowering blood pressure and protecting against heart disease and strokes is well accepted and bolstered by considerable scientific evidence. Bananas are soothing to the gastrointestinal tract due to their high content of pectin – as soluble fibre that not only lowers cholesterol but normalises bowel function. The high fibre content of bananas promote satiety (feelings of fullness). The resistant starch in bananas also has a prebiotic effect, helping to fuel the gut bacteria so they increase their production of short chain fatty acids which are beneficial for digestive health.

Can We Kiss? One way that we use our mouths to communicate our feelings for others is by kissing. In this article from https://people.howstuffworks.com/kissing.htm we look at the history of kissing, the cultural meaning of kisses, and how kissing can lead to the spread of disease.

When you really think about it, kissing is pretty gross. It involves saliva and mucous membranes - experts estimate that hundreds or even millions of bacterial colonies move from one mouth to another during a kiss. Doctors have also linked kissing to the spread of diseases like meningitis, herpes and mononucleosis. Yet anthropologists report that 90 percent of the people in the world kiss. Most people look forward to their first romantic kiss and remember it for the rest of their lives. Parents kiss children, worshippers kiss religious artefacts and couples kiss each other. Anthropologists think kissing might have originated with human mothers feeding their babies much the way birds do. Mothers would chew the food and then pass it from their mouths to their babies' mouths. After the babies learned to eat solid food, their mothers may have kissed them to comfort them or to show affection. In this scenario, kissing is a learned behaviour, passed from generation to generation. We do it because we learned how to from our parents and from the society around us.

Other researchers believe instead that kissing is instinctive. They use bonobo apes, which are closely related to humans, to support this idea. Bonobos kiss one another frequently. Regardless of sex or status within their social groups, bonobos kiss to reduce tension after disputes, to reassure one another, to develop social bonds and sometimes for no clear reason at all. Some researchers believe that kissing primates prove that the desire to kiss is instinctive.

While researchers aren't exactly sure how or why people started kissing, they do know that romantic kissing affects most people profoundly. The Kinsey Institute describes a person's response to kissing as a combination of factors. Your psychological response depends on your The culture in which you grew up plays a big mental and emotional state as well as how you part in how you feel about kissing. In most feel about the person who is kissing you. Western societies, people are conditioned to, Psychologically, kissing someone you want to look forward to and enjoy kissing. The kiss will generally encourage feelings of behaviour of the people around you, attachment and affection. If you're kissing depictions in the media and other social someone you don't like, or you're kissed against factors can dramatically affect how you your will, your psychological response will be respond to being kissed. completely different.

These factors play a part in all kisses, not just those that are romantic in nature - when friends kiss as a greeting, worshippers kiss religious symbols or siblings kiss and make up after an argument. Even though some kisses are platonic and others are romantic, they generally have one thing in common - they are inspired by and tend to inspire feelings we think of as positive.

People in some cultures rub one another's noses or cheeks rather than, or in addition to, kissing. Anthropologists theorize that this "Eskimo kiss" grew from people smelling one another's faces much the way animals do.

The History of Kissing Historians really don't know much about the early history of kissing. Four Vedic Sanskrit texts, written in India around 1500 B.C., appear to describe people kissing. This doesn't mean that nobody kissed before then, and it doesn't mean that Indians were the first to kiss. Artists and writers may have just considered kissing too private to depict in art or literature.

Artists and writers may have just considered kissing too private to depict in art or literature.

There aren't many records of kissing in the Western world until the days of the Roman Empire. Romans used kisses ❖ Osculum was a kiss on the to greet friends and family members. Citizens kissed their cheek rulers' hands. And, naturally, people kissed their romantic ❖ Basium was a kiss on the lips partners. The Romans even came up with three different ❖ Savolium was a deep kiss categories for kissing: The Romans also started several kissing traditions that have lasted to the present day. In ancient Rome, couples became betrothed by kissing passionately in front of a group of people. This is probably one reason why modern couples kiss at the end of wedding ceremonies. Additionally, although most people today think of love letters as "sealed with a kiss," kisses were used to legal and business agreements. Ancient Romans also used kissing as part of political campaigns. Kissing played a role in the early Christian Church. Christians often greeted one another with an osculum pacis, or holy kiss. According to this tradition, the holy kiss caused a transfer of spirit between the two people kissing. Most researchers believe the purpose of this kiss was to establish familial bonds between the members of the church and to strengthen the community. But not all kisses have been happy events. Works of literature like "Romeo and Juliet" have portrayed kisses as dangerous or deadly when shared between the wrong people. Some folklorists and literary critics view vampirism as symbolic of the physical and emotional dangers that can come from kissing the wrong person. Most cultures around the world kiss today, but many have different views about when and where kissing is appropriate. In the 1990s, several news articles reported a trend of young people kissing in public in Japan, where kissing had traditionally been viewed as a private activity.

No matter who you're kissing or why, the basic kiss relies heavily on one muscle - the orbicularis oris, which runs around the outside of your mouth. Your orbicularis oris changes the shape of your mouth while you talk, and it puckers your lips when you kiss. But orbicularis oris is really just the tip of the iceberg. About two- thirds of people tip their heads to the right while kissing. Scientists believe this preference starts before we're born, when we tip our heads to the right in the womb. So muscles in your head, neck and shoulders tilt your head so your nose doesn't collide with your partner's nose. Anyone who has ever been kissed knows that the sensations involved aren't confined to the mouth. Your facial nerve carries impulses between your brain and the muscles and skin in your face and tongue.

Chemical Reactions While you kiss, it carries messages from your lips, tongue and face to your brain to tell it what's going on. Your brain responds by ordering your body to produce: ❖ Oxytocin, which helps people develop feelings of attachment, devotion and affection for one another ❖ Dopamine, which plays a role in the brain's processing of emotions, pleasure and pain ❖ Serotonin, which affects a person's mood and feelings ❖ Adrenaline, which increases heart rate and plays a role in your body's fight-or-flight response When you kiss, these hormones and neurotransmitters rush through your body. Along with natural endorphins, they produce the euphoria most people feel during a good kiss. In addition, your heart rate increases and your blood vessels dilate, so your whole body receives more oxygen than it does when you're just standing around. You can also smell the person you're kissing, and researchers have demonstrated a connection between smells and emotions. Spreading Infections Most people know that mouths are germy places. Kissing is directly tied As the coronavirus is to a few illnesses: spread through water ❖ Mononucleosis is often called "the kissing disease" because it is or mucus droplets carried in saliva and can be spread through kissing. from the nose and ❖ The herpes simplex 1 virus causes cold sores and is easily mouth containing the transmitted through kissing. virus.

So while we are still facing the effects of the measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 kissing and other foms of physical contact that could risk the spread of the virus should be avoided. When we do get back to normal, what are the do and do nots of kissing? The website Scarleteen (https://www.scarleteen.com) have some exellent advice around kissing.

Do: Listen to the person or people you're kissing about what feels good and doesn't. Do: Know that you can say how you want to be kissed, and have the option of not kissing someone who won't respond to your expressed desires. Do not: Kiss someone who doesn't want to be kissed, touch someone who doesn't want to be touched Do not assume that kissing and cuddling is going to lead to other sexual activity. It might, but that's something you can ask the person you're with, not assume based on the sexual activities you've been doing. In other words, a kiss is just a kiss. Do: Have fun!

Pride June is Pride month; it is a month dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQ+ communities all around the world. Pride is usually celebrated with lots of parades and marches but with coronavirus and social distancing still in place, things will be a little different this year. A lot of events have been postponed or cancelled, but the celebrations will continue on Zoom, TikTok and other social media, keeping people connected and celebrating. This article from Newsround (https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/52872693) explains more about Pride month. June is the month chosen to celebrate pride as it was the month of the Stonewall riots, the protests that changed gay rights for a lot of people in America and beyond. It's about people coming together in love and friendship, to show how far gay rights have come, even if in some places there's still some work to be done. Pride month is about teaching tolerance, education in pride history and continuing to move forward in equality. It calls for people to remember how damaging homophobia was and still can be. It's all about being proud of who you are no matter who you love.

Brenda Howard is known as 'The Mother of Pride' after organising the first ever gay pride march. There are usually colourful parades, concerts and marches, but this year a lot of this will be moved online to keep to social distancing rules. Global Pride Day is June 27 and there are plans for live streams of concerts and showcases celebrating pride.

The suggestion to call “A lot of people were very repressed, they were conflicted internally, and the movement 'Pride' didn't know how to come out and be proud. That's how the movement came from L. Craig was most useful, because they thought, 'Maybe I should be proud’. “ Schoonmaker: L. Craig Schoonmaker The Stonewall Riots On June 28th 1969 an uprising took place at the Stonewall Inn in New York City. As it was raided by in the early hours, three nights of unrest followed, with LGBT people, long frustrated by police brutality, finally fighting back. The Stonewall uprising took place in the context of broader civil rights movements. The Revolutionary People's Constitutional Convention in 1970 was a key moment in which activists from Black Power, feminist and gay liberation movements came together, saw common cause and learned from each other. Some UK activists were involved in some of these key moments in the US movement, and they came back to Britain to form a British chapter of the Gay Liberation Front, meeting for the first time at the LSE library in October 1970, with the first UK Gay Pride Rally taking place a few years later on 1 July 1972, in London. The Rainbow Flag The symbol for Pride is a rainbow flag and it is used to represent gay pride all over the world. Pride festivals, which started with the event in London in 1972, celebrate the gay community and show support for equal rights for everyone. The flag is flown in cities across the world and many people wear it as part of their outfits to show their support for the gay community.

Sometimes it feels like society says you should be always happy, and that showing your sadness is a sign of weakness. This is far from true – if you were to hold in all your sadness or anger you would explode. We all have good and bad days. No one can be perfectly happy all of the time, that is not human. One day you feel on top of the world, the next you are down. While I am still trying to accept this myself, I know that it is part of life and whether or not others choose to show it, it still happens. Whether that is talking to someone about what is going on, finding answers to what is causing that emotion, or using coping skills such as drawing, yoga, mindfulness, and so many other healthy ideas, there are ways to help you get through the bad days. It’s okay to feel down.
