Nasal and sinus problems, such as when you have a cold, can make inhalation difficult and create a vacuum in the throat leading to snoring. Last but not least, being overweight can have a negative impact, too, because excess fat deposits in your throat narrows the airway space. A useful way to pinpoint the reasons why you snore is to keep a sleep diary to monitor snoring. Thankfully, sleeping in separate bedrooms isn’t the only remedy for snoring, there are many things you can do on your own to help stop snoring: Avoid alcohol or sedatives in the evening hours, also do without caffeine and heavy meals within two hours of going to bed. If you are overweight, even losing a bit of weight can reduce fatty tissue in the back of the throat and decrease or even stop snoring. Keep your bedroom moist with a humidifier, because dry air can irritate mucous membranes. When it comes to sleep posture, try to sleep on your side rather than on your back. However, if your own efforts to stop snoring do not help, consult your doctor as snoring can sometimes be a warning sign of more serious problems. Be particularly aware of the following symptoms: You snore loud and heavily and are tired during the day. Or you stop breathing, gasp or choke during sleep. If you are looking for more information about snoring and possible solutions please call into McSweeney Pharmacy and we will be more than happy to answer any queries you may have.

With the Halloween festivities now behind us and the tinsel coming out, Charcoal Steakhouse is gearing up for a busy Christmas. Off the beaten track in Henry Court, Charcoal has been serving up chargrilled steaks, slow-cooked ribs and fresh local seafood for nearly 2 years now. Husband and wife team, Marc and Courtney Roche, have been working hard to establish their business since December of 2010. Not an easy feat in the current climate, they have found success by tapping into a niche market. Charcoal specializes in prime quality Irish steaks; Ribeye, Sirloin and Fillets; all chargrilled, cooked just the way you want, tender and bursting with flavour. And that’s not all they do - far from being just a steakhouse, the menu also includes ‘Surf and Turf’ (Fillet steak with creole-buttered crab claws), Oven-Roasted Parmesan Chicken and Cod in a Potato Crust. Their fries are hand-cut daily, all the soups and sauces are gluten free, and they also cater well for vegetarians. Great value for money, starters range from €4.95 - €8.95 and mains from €12.95 - €26.95., with a selection of fine wines and craft Irish beers also available. Everything on their kids’ menu is homemade, so rest assured even when dining out, your children are eating healthy produce. Not just a family restaurant, they also offer an intimate and cosy atmosphere for couples and can cater for groups. Every Friday they offer something a little bit different with a Mexican inspired ‘Fajita Friday’ set menu served all night (full menu also available). An early bird set menu is served every other night from 5:30-6:45pm. Both menus are priced at €19.95 for two courses and €23.95 for three courses. Unassuming from the outside, it’s just the place to be on a cold winter evening with its warm and cosy interior, furnished with unique wooden chairs and tables. Charcoal is open for business as usual throughout the winter months (Thursday – Saturday 5:30-9:30pm and Sundays from 5:30- 064 6682003 9:00pm) For reservations or enquiries call 064 6640080.

Manuela, a native of Franconia, Germany, opened the popular Bread Crumb in August 2004 and has been serving local customers as well as visitors, catering to people with allergies and food intolerance issues and supplying their products to hotels, restaurants and delicatessens. “The number of customers with gluten intolerance whom we meet daily at The Bread Crumb is constantly growing. It is very hard for coeliacs or wheat intolerant people to find a really nice treat, and this is how the Utterly Nutty Company was born. “Our Florentine Crispy Bites are a delicious mix of flaked almonds, drizzled with honey on a bed of chocolate, they are a gluten free addictive treat.” Manuela has already lined up an impressive list of retail outlets that sell her Florentine Crispy Bites and is planning to expand her market to a nationwide listing. A French businessman is also interested in taking them to the wider market in the EU.
