As the festive season fast approaches and many of us will get together with loved ones to eat, drink and be merry, it’s not surprising that Thames Water (the UK’s largest water services company) is campaigning for us to not further feed the fatberg crisis here in the UK this Christmas. So you may be asking yourself “what can I do to help this winter?”.

After an impressive win in the quarter final of the women's County Cup at Lewes, it was time for the women of Worthing FC to get back Outside the Box and kick off with a different type of ball; The Protein Ball Company’s protein balls. Based mere minutes down the road from Worthing’s stadium, it was a pleasure to get a locally sourced company like The Protein Ball Co. on board the OTB bandwagon.

In times like these, when COVID-19 is still very much rife and flu mainly strikes during the winter, it’s more important than ever to make sure you give your immune system the support it needs. Our resident content writer & blogger Mark looks at how to give yourself optimum immune support this winter, using a selection of some of our most popular natural & alternative remedies that may help to fight a cold & flu virus.

If you’re one of those individuals who took up running at the height of lockdown and are still continuing to do so, then give yourself a massive pat on the back for maintaining a regular fitness regime even during the dark & cold days that now occupy November.

However, is running really all we need to do to stay in shape or is there more we should be doing to challenge our bodies and get better results?

In week 5 of Outside the Box, our writer Mark and the ladies of Worthing Women’s football club looked at the benefits of plant-based milk for on-pitch performance. This was something of interest to Worthing’s head coach, John Donaghue, at the very early stages of OTB, and thanks to Borna Foods we are happy to have been able to fulfil this request and supplement his players with Borna’s pistachio drinks - a big thank you to Sofie at Borna for making this happen.
