Description:
England used to relish playing in front of a home crowd under Sarina Wiegman, but it is starting to feel like that magic is wearing off.<br/><br/>Defeat against France, their first loss in a qualifying fixture for 22 years, leaves them with work to do if they want to retain their European crown in Switzerland next year.<br/><br/>Only the top two teams will progress automatically from what is a tough Euro 2025 qualifying group, with England now in third place.<br/><br/>They now have to travel to France, who they play again on Tuesday, before facing Ireland at home and Sweden away in July.<br/><br/>Perhaps what is most concerning for Wiegman is that her side has taken just one point from their two home fixtures.<br/><br/>The Lionesses lacked a spark and, in truth, many looked tired after a testing season. Elisa De Almeida’s superb volley, which brought France level after Beth Mead had opened the scoring, was undoubtedly the best moment of a game lacking quality.<br/><br/>‘The result is disappointing and I think unnecessary,’ Wiegman said.<br/><br/>‘I think our performance was good for most parts of the game. The first part of course was very different than [what] we were expecting, so we had to find our feet to get started. After that we did well, we scored a goal, I think we had chances of scoring more, and then they scored from a corner. That was disappointing.<br/><br/>‘Then in the second half, I think we controlled the match more than we did in the first half. But we didn't score, we created almost no chances, so it's that pass that will create the best chance, or the touch, or the cross, in many moments we played pretty well but it's very frustrating that we then conceded a goal from a corner [set-piece], we know they're very good at that, so we wanted to do that [defend set pieces] very well, and in some moments we did but in too many moments we didn't.’<br/><br/>For the first time since February 2023, Wiegman was able to select a centre-back pairing of Leah Williamson and Millie Bright, with both players having spent time out injured in the last year.<br/><br/>But the decision not to select Alex Greenwood, who has enjoyed a fine season with Manchester City, at either center-back or left-back was puzzling.<br/><br/>Greenwood was arguably England’s best player at the World Cup last summer and her composure on the ball and passing ability was missed.<br/><br/>Things got off to a bad start for England when Mary Earps was forced off after just five minutes.<br/><br/>The goalkeeper, who was making her 50th international appearance, appeared to twist her hip after a routine pass and despite efforts to continue, was replaced by Hannah Hampton.<br/><br/>After a cagey opening, Ella Toone could have put England ahead mid-way through the half when she connected with Lauren Hemp’s cross in the box, but her effort spun just wide.<br/><br/>Hemp continued to cause problems down the left wing and, on the half-hour mark, created the opener. The forward’s cross evaded Alessia Russo and Georgia Stanway, who was perhaps fouled by Selma Bacha as she tried to connect with the deliv

Almost all respondents surveyed (98%) believe they can get a workout in while taking on everyday tasks. <br/><br/>Those tasks include harnessing the power of everyday activities like walking around the neighborhood (74%), taking the stairs (60%), doing yard work (59%), cleaning the home (59%), walking the dog (56%) and bringing in groceries into the home (42%). <br/><br/>Other tasks compared to exercises include gardening (40%), taking the trash out (36%), stretching after getting out of bed (35%), doing dishes or laundry (33%), standing on your feet for at least four hours (30%) or even getting kids ready for school (10%).<br/><br/>Commissioned by Nature’s Bounty, a vitamin and probiotic brand, and conducted by OnePoll, the study revealed 70% believe they’re healthy and many compared their level of health with different physical activity levels. Embracing these activities as part of a balanced lifestyle could contribute to overall well-being.<br/><br/>Ten percent reported feeling as if they were a superhero or professional athlete, while 17% felt 10 years younger. <br/><br/>Nearly half (48%) of people think back to their previous week’s physical activities during the weekend. <br/><br/>Seventy percent said they feel “impressed” with their activity levels from the previous week.<br/><br/>While more than three-quarters (77%) were reportedly aware of how active their bodies are during the week, 65% said they’d be willing to go further in their activities, exploring their physical capabilities while exercising.<br/><br/>Of them, an overwhelming 80% at least occasionally test their physical limits while exercising. Benefits are then seen as feeling more confident (54%), walking farther (52%) and noticing their body looks better (46%).<br/><br/>Most (87%) imagine they could accomplish tasks they could never do before if they could just improve their physical abilities by 10%. <br/><br/>“It’s encouraging to recognize how everyday activities can feel like feats of strength to so many people and to understand that our bodies have an innate ability to support our overall health and wellness too — the power is already within us,” said Jaclyn Safrath, MS, MPH, medical affairs manager, Nestlé Health Science, maker of Nature’s Bounty. “But it’s clear that many want to constantly improve their health — finding ways to give that extra 10 percent and push what their bodies can do.”<br/><br/>At the core of feeling physically apt, the study found a connection between diet and activity levels. More than a quarter (28%) believe their diet has a major impact on their immune system and 24% similarly believe their diet majorly impacts physical activity levels.<br/><br/>Ninety percent believe their overall digestive health impacts their physicality and immune system.<br/><br/>To improve their digestive health, 63% would likely use a probiotic supplement to support their digestive health.<br/><br/>Three in four would be willing to change their diet for the better if it could improve their physical activity levels. Over half (54%) would change most of or all of what they eat, as a result.<br/><br/>“The human body is a brilliant system and every day it’s hustling on our behalf,” continued Safrath. “Take, for instance, the digestive system where tens of trillions of ‘good’ bacteria already live in the gut supporting so many of the body’s functions including immune health. Probiotics help supplement the body’s own ingenious system.” <br/><br/>TOP 10 EVERYDAY TASK EXERCISES<br/>- Walking around the neighborhood - 74%<br/>- Taking the stairs instead of an elevator or escalator - 60%<br/>- Doing yard work - 59%<br/>- Cleaning the home - 59%<br/>- Taking the dog for a walk - 56%<br/>- Bringing groceries into the home - 42%<br/>- Gardening - 40%<br/>- Taking the trash out - 36%<br/>- Stretching after getting out of bed - 35%<br/>- Doing dishes or laundry - 33%<br/><br/>Survey methodology:<br/>This random double-opt-in survey of 2,000 general population Americans was commissioned by Nature’s Bounty between Feb. 28 and Mar. 4, 2024. It was conducted by market research company OnePoll, whose team members are members of the Market Research Society and have corporate membership to the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) and the European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR).")
