The NHS has launched a new online self-assessment tool for women who experience a bleed or spotting they’ve been through the menopause and who are not on HRT.

It’s for women in Bury, Salford, Oldham, Heywood, Middleton, and Rochdale.

Any bleeding from your va**na after the menopause (when your periods have been stopped for 12 months or more) should be checked out to rule out possible womb cancer. You can now do this without booking an appointment with a GP.

Simply answer a few questions on the online self-assessment tool to request a hospital check.

Want to train for a 5K? There’s an app for that. One even has zombies in it. You’ll also find smartphone apps for cycling, yoga, and lots in between. Research shows using app-based walking or exercise programs often can boost your aerobic levels just as much as in-person sessions with a trainer. Studies also show people who use fitness apps are more likely to do something active during downtime compared to those who don’t. https://wb.md/4xHObln

Foods can help tame stress in several ways. Comfort foods, like a bowl of warm oatmeal, boost levels of serotonin, a calming brain chemical. Other foods can cut levels of cortisol and adrenaline, stress hormones that take a toll on the body over time. A healthy diet can help counter the impact of stress by shoring up the immune system and lowering blood pressure. Do you know which foods are stress busters? https://wb.md/4zhoNV1

It's hot and while lots of people love long sunny days, heat can pose real risks to your health.

Being sun‑safe does not mean you have to dampen the fun, but dampening your skin with a wet sponge? That can help you cool down.
