Welcome
Can you believe were already six months into the year? This time last year, we were ying the ag and hanging out bunting for the Queens Diamond Jubilee. Right now, Im supposed to be telling you to get outside, enjoy the sunshine, take the kids to the park, but who really knows if the sun will put his hat on? If the unpredictable weather has taught us one thing, though, its to make the most of the occasions we have and plan for all eventualities. Having a Fathers Day BBQ? If its raining, you could cook the food in the oven or send Dad out with a golng umbrella to char the chops! Planning a picnic? It will taste just as good inside turn on the heating and no one will be any the wiser It wouldnt be a proper British summer if we didnt enjoy seasonal food. So make the most of any time off and celebrate in style.

Sushi know-how
WORDS: MARILYN WRIGHT. PHOTOGRAPH: RIA OSBOURNE. STYLING: JENNY IGGLEDEN. FOOD STYLING: VICKI SMALLWOOD
Sushi was an early form of fast food in Japan. Today, its the perfect convenience food and is great for lunch on the go. Sushi does not mean raw sh it means rice seasoned with vinegar. Our sushi is made by experts, and the knives they use are descendants of samurai swords the blades should be sharpened every day. Most chefs train for two years before becoming sushi experts.

If youre treating your dad to a fabulous steak dinner on Fathers Day, why not try this great herb crumb instead of serving a sauce? Weve used sirloin for its excellent avour and texture, but if hes a llet or rump fan, the spring onion, thyme and breadcrumb topping goes well with any of them. Itll go brilliantly with lamb or pork chops, too just change the herbs. Try mint with lamb and sage with pork.

These American family favourites are a cross between sweet scones and British-style shortbread. Theyre easy to make the secret to their success is to handle the dough as little as possible in order to keep the shortcake light. The classic lling is a combination of softly whipped cream and fresh strawberries. You can use other fruits, too try raspberries, blueberries, or sliced peaches or nectarines.

Whip the rest of the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla until it starts to thicken and just holds its shape. Take care not to over-whip if using an electric mixer, set it on the slowest speed.

Using a 6cm cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible. Gather up the leftover dough, pat out again and cut more rounds. Repeat until you have eight rounds in total.

Too busy to see your GP or dont want to be criticised about your diet? Dont make excuses when it comes to your health. Prevention is always better than cure
What types of illnesses are men most at risk from? The number one health issue that affects men is cardiovascular disease, says David. This is used to describe a range of conditions, such as having a heart attack or stroke. Are men more likely to suffer from certain conditions at certain ages? Cardiovascular disease can affect men in all age groups, but the chance of complications starts to go up in the mid-40s and keeps rising as you get older, David points out. As you approach 45, its worth having health checks every few years. Men arent exactly known for their willingness to seek help when it comes their health. In fact, in a recent study, one-third said theyd only see a doctor if prompted by their partner, or if they felt they really needed to. Men are often embarrassed to discuss their symptoms, but an early diagnosis can make a big difference to a successful outcome. Which heart health-related warning signs should never be ignored? More often than not, there are no real immediate warning signs. Prevention is better than cure and having a health check to determine your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, diabetes risk and body mass index, and making lifestyle changes, such as stopping smoking, can make a huge difference. At what age are men most likely to suffer from prostate problems? Prostate problems affect around 60 per cent of men aged 60-plus to some degree, but these are often
Asdas in-house pharmacists can advise on a range of health issues and prescribe over-the-counter treatments. Here, David Gallier-Harris, one of our pharmacists, answers your most common queries and explains that its never too late to get healthy.

easily treatable, says David. Symptoms often include difculty in passing urine or feeling that youve not fully emptied your bladder. Have a chat with your pharmacist or GP to discuss any symptoms. What medical conditions are men more likely to suffer from now, compared with 10 years ago? Type two diabetes is on the rise, says David. This might be explained by obesity rates, which have increased steadily over the past 30 years. Its thought that diabetes is linked to excess body fat in almost two-thirds of cases.
Whats your advice for men concerned about a health issue but who are reluctant to seek help? Dont be afraid to come and see us, urges David. Any conversation you have with a member of the Asda pharmacy team is completely condential. We have a consultation room in all our pharmacies. Just ask for a private chat with the pharmacist.

Men are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease at an earlier age than women***
What is your top tip for men who want to lead healthier lives but lack motivation? Its never too late to make changes to your lifestyle changes which will have a real benet to your health, says David. For example, giving up smoking has a benet from the moment you stop, with your blood pressure returning to normal after about 20 minutes. After just ve years, your risk of having a heart attack falls to about half of that of a smoker.
