Skin care

There are a number of breakthrough lotions formulas are being released in the market, it can be tricky to know which one is good for you ,which ones work in harmony with your body without harmful ingredients and which ones that damage our skin in the long term. There are different variants of skin care, some for dry skin, oily skin, and normal skin. The main purpose of skin care is to nourish and replenish our skin . Choosing the right lotion for your skin is essential to ensure that perfect glow. Remember that Healthy glowing skin not only an outside job its also an inside job.

Be a conscious consumer simply start reading the ingredients of your products, you will probably find you have no idea what they are saying – especially in the list of ingredients, I didn’t – BUT you can always Google ingredients you don’t know , or for a more in depth and accurate view, I recommend shopping with ‘The Chemical Maze’ by Bill Stratham, its easy to use and after a while you come to recognize ingredients easily.

Top 4 killers

The four main diseases of the modern world are Obesity, High Blood Pressure/High Cholesterol, Diabieties and Cancer which can all be linked to our modern diet . Yes we may all be genetically predisposed to certain types of diseases BUT they still need the right environment and tiggers to occur, these diseases are only recorded in Modern Times and by people with high intake of sugar, fat and animal products. If we want to prevent or combat these illnesses it may be wise to better understand what diet our bodies best run on as understood by many cultures and traditional societies, please contact us for your personal diet analysis or consultation session.

Nutritional supplements

Nutritional supplements are an easy and relatively short term transitional tool for good health. Long term effects of nutritional supplements can lead to a decreased ability to assimilate nutrients from food through the expansion of our gut. Although in the beginning on our way back to real health they can be a valuable tool and I used them intensively in recovering from a head injury that has left me permanently disabled. I don’t want to imagine
the state I would be in today if I hadn’t been led to supplement my diet. Our bodies need good nutrition and access to the right building blocks of life to function in well being and to reach our biological potential. Ideally this is from our diet but with the decreasing quality of our fresh foods and the tendency toward chemicalised, frozen and micro waved foods this is not always the case. We need to remember and relearn how to guide our bodies back into balance with whole, organic and delicious foods.

Wieght loss

The healthiest way to lose weight is neither crash diets nor bursts of exercise. The body and mind likes slow changes in terms of food and exercise to establish new long term lifestyle changes for more energy, vitality and happiness.

Below are ways to reduce calorie intake without having to alter your diet significantly.

Replace fizzy drinks and fruit cordials with real fruit juices slowly watering them down.

Eat less lunch than usual. For example, make your own sandwich and limit the use of margarine/butter and full-fat mayonnaise (store-bought sandwiches often contain both).

Stop taking sugar in tea and coffee, change to other hot drinks like herbal teas or grain coffees

Have smaller portions and chew well.

- Avoid having a second helping at dinner, do something else instead eg. go for a walk.

- Cut out unhealthy treats such as confectionary, sugary biscuits and crisps between meals, make sure you have good meals and break this habit.

- Cut down on beer and alcohol.

All these things will influence your health in a positive way.

Once you've decided on what changes you're going to make, write them down. For example:

Week 1

-Movement- one 30 minute walk every lunch hour, find a yoga(or whatever motivates you to move and looks like fun) class to attend.

-Alcohol: none in the week, two small glasses of wine on Friday, Saturday, Sunday(If you find this one difficult you may really need to examine where your life is at).

-Food: choose healthy snacks that I enjoy (or for those with dreadful habits think about healthy snacks you could learn to enjoy), have one vegetarian dinner this week, choose white meat like Fish once this week , eat no fast food choose to prepare fresh meals instead.

Once you start your plan, weigh yourself once a week before breakfast. Keep a record of this weight and see if a pattern develops, track your progress, have people you can contact to support your changes and reward yourself for your achievements.

Some of the many Health benefits of weight loss…

Studies show that overweight women who lose between 5 kgs and 12kgs halve their risk of developing diabetes. For men, the risk of heart problems reduces considerably.

Generally, we gain weight as we age. A few pounds over the years are not a problem, but people who gain more than 12kgs compared to their weight as an 18-year-old will rapidly increase their risk of health problems due to that extra weight. In particular, women increase their risk of heart attack and double their risk of dying from cancer.

We are never to young or to old to change the direction of our health for the better. By keeping your weight in the healthy range, you are less likely to be troubled by illnesses in your later years.
