    Comment

Susan Scott, author of Life Force offers her top tips for creating more energy. By building healthy habits into your life you lay the foundations to optimise your energy.

  7. Exercising with Varicose Veins- The Dos and Don’ts!

    Comment
    Tips from Professor Mark Whiteley Varicose veins are a hereditary condition, which will affect up to 30% of us in our lifetime. These veins are swollen and enlarged, and may be blue or dark purple in appearance – usually occurring on the legs and feet. For those who have inherited the ‘varicose vein genes’, having a sedentary lifestyle or being inactive for long periods of time may encourage these veins to develop. However, if you already have varicose veins or “hidden varicose veins”, inactivity causes them to worsen quicker and increases the risk of complications. This is because the muscles in our legs that normally pump the blood aren’t used very much when we are sitting down and, as a result, the blood pools backwards...

  9. Top tips for staying flu-free this winter

    Comment
    Article by  CNM (College of Naturopathic Medicine) None of us wants colds or flu, especially not when we want to enjoy the holiday season!  Aiming to avoid flu is our best strategy, since once it takes hold, the virus can lead to lowered immunity for some time afterwards, making us more susceptible to other winter bugs and bacterial infections. Trying to avoid the initial infection is our best strategy. Germs can live on surfaces for days, so avoid touching your face, biting your nails, or eating, without first washing your hands for at least 20 seconds with warm water and natural soap. To put ourselves in the best condition to fight off germs, it also pays to strengthen our immune system to enhance resilience....

  10. Fear made me strong enough to lose the booze

    Comment
    By Dani Binnington I’ve been teetotal for over 5 years. It was after my conventional treatment for breast cancer finished and my mental wellbeing was at an all time low. Out of fear of a recurrence I did everything to me possible to improve my overall health and increase my chances of survival. Giving up booze, for good, was just one thing I did. I also changed my diet, started yoga, meditation and mindfulness on a quest to recover and survive. So when at the age of 33, I turned up to dinner parties and nights out saying ‘I don’t drink’ it is only fair to say that I was always ‘the odd one out’. It’s fair to say that my drive to give up...
