A kind-hearted East Lothian Asda worker rushed to the aid of a customer who fell unwell in the store.
Irene Bisset was in the middle of her shift at Asda Dunbar when she spotted the customer from the checkout area who 'seemed unwell'
Irene, who has been with the team for four years, went over to the distressed customer to make sure she was ok. The woman said she was new to the area and felt overwhelmed.
Irene sat the woman down and offered her a drink before packing away her shopping.
She then stayed with the customer and offered reassurance until she felt well enough to continue with her day and head home.
A few weeks later, the customer returned to the store and spoke to Irene, expressing how grateful she was for her kindness.
Irene Bisset, Front-End Colleague, Asda Dunbar, said: 'I just did what I hope someone would do for me. Sometimes all it takes is a little kindness and a few minutes of your time to turn someone's day around – I am glad I was able to help her.'
Lee Dryburgh, General Store Manager, Asda Dunbar, said 'We're incredibly proud of Irene. She always goes the extra mile for our customers; she's a true credit to the team and a perfect example of what Asda is all about. Well Done, Irene.'

So now you don't have to get burned literally or financially with prices as low as £2.99 you can save on the pricey sun-care and instead put your savings towards an ice cream or cocktail in the sun instead. With the likes of Aldi, Asda, Sainsbury's and Tesco all offering up their own versions, you have no excuse for not reapplying while out enjoying the sun. Staying safe in the sun doesn't have to break the bank, and whether you're out and about, sunbathing or trying to avoid it, and consumer champions at Which? found some of the best deals out there. The cheapest sun creams Aldi – Lacura SPF50+ – £2.99 (200ml) Asda – Protect Sensitive SPF50+ – £3.04 (200ml) Morrisons – Sun Lotion SPF50 – £4.50 (200ml) Sainsbury's – Sun Protect SPF50+ – £5.50 (200ml) Boots - Soltan SPF50+ - £5.50 (200ml) Superdrug - Solait SPF50 Sun Lotion - £5.50 (200ml) Tesco – Piz Buin SPF50+ – £7.00 (200ml) What does SPF mean? So when it comes to buying the right sun protection, it's crucial to know what it all means. The sun protection factor (SPF) indicates the amount of protection sun creams offer against UVB radiation. It tells you how much longer skin that's covered with the sun cream takes to redden in response to UV, compared with unprotected skin. What factor sun cream should I use? It all depends on what type of skin you have, but the NHS and Cancer Research UK both recommend you pick a product with an SPF of at least 30. If your skin burns easily, it's best to stay on the safe side and opt for a higher SPF. For kids and SPF for your face, it's recommended to use factor 50, as kids skin is more sensitive, and our faces are typically more exposed to the sun. What is UVA/UVB/UVC? According to Which? UVA (ultraviolet A) is a type of ultraviolet radiation from the sun, which has been linked with premature ageing. Both UVA and UVB have been linked with skin cancer. UVB (ultraviolet B) is another type of radiation from the sun and is the main cause of sunburn. It has a shorter wavelength than UVA. UVC (ultraviolet C) is the shortest form of UV radiation and the most dangerous to our skin, although luckily it cannot penetrate the earth's atmosphere. Of the UV rays that get through our atmosphere and can affect our skin, UVB makes up 5% and the other 95% is UVA. What does the UVA seal mean? The UVA seal indicates that a product meets the EU recommendation for sun creams to offer a UVA protection factor equivalent to at least a third of their SPF.

Daily handful of 97p superfood can cut your risk of heart disease
If you're keen on keeping your cholesterol in check, eating a daily dose of a certain superfood might just do the trick. Cholesterol is essentially a waxy substance that's both made by our bodies and found in some foods. We all need a bit of cholesterol, but only a smidge – and it turns out there's good and bad kinds. Health buffs from livestrong are praising walnuts as the go-to nibble when it comes to keeping cholesterol levels down. You can snag a bargain with, for example, ASDA's 97p pack of Almonds, Walnuts, Cashews and Hazelnuts Nut Selection, making it easy to add to your diet. You can also toss these nuts on top of your porridge, pairing them with fruit, sprinkling over pancakes, or mixing into yoghurt, reports Surrey Live. Walnuts are such a flexible addition that they can transform any breakfast into a cholesterol-busting meal. The experts at livestrong highlight that "increased blood levels of cholesterol - particularly the LDL or 'bad' cholesterol - have been linked to a greater risk of heart disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)." That's why slashing "dietary cholesterol" is crucial, and eating the right food is key. One of these foods is of course nuts which is a "great source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats." These, according to the health experts, are healthy fats that are great for the heart. Full of vitamins, minerals, fibre, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, according to the Mayo Clinic, it's crucial to add these types of foods to your diet to stay healthy. In fact, according to one study, published in Journal of the American College of Cardiology, people who ate peanuts, tree nuts and walnuts one or more times per week, had a 13 to 19 percent lower risk of heart disease and a 15 to 23 percent lower risk of coronary heart disease. The experts at livestrong note that there are a variety of foods that you can add to your diet, on a weekly or daily basis, to help keep the bad cholesterol down, and the good cholesterol levels up.
