THE MUSIC AND DANCE!
|
 |
If
you want to shake that weary end-of-winter feeling, leap into spring
with the power of dance.
Its no accident that so many cultures use dance as a way to celebrate
- not only can you enjoy the music, all that physical exercise should
get your feelgood hormones, the endorphins, racing around your body.
Choose a time when you have the house to yourself do you do not
feel self conscious, or if you do not mind, get a few or your girly
friends round for a coffee, each providing a favourite selection
of dance tunes. Have a really good dance around, practice new, unusual
movements (always good for a giggle). Do not just move your feet,
shake off your inhibitions and raise your arms Saturday Night Fever
style. Be careful to choose only cheery, happy music - no ballads
or lovesongs allowed. To achieve a full, feel good workout sing
along at the top of your voice!

TO NATURE

Natural
medicine is enjoying a boom. Busy Britons are spending £130 million
a year on complimentary medicine, many say they have not time to
visit their doctor or are disappointed with traditional remedys.
Whilst it is always wise to consult your GP if a problem is felt
to be of a serious nature, or is particularly persistent, lesser
ailments can often be soothed at home.
COLD SYMPTOMS
Ginger tea loosens nasal congestion eases a sore throat and relieves
chills.
COUGHING
Peppermints strong method scent helps to ease spasmodic coughing.
Dab a drop of the oil onto your handkerchief and inhale frequently.
(A painful cough needs checking by a GP).
MUSCLE ACHES
Epsom salts, available at chemists are rich in magnesium and help
muscles to relax. Add 250g to a warm bath. To relieve congestion
add a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil.
VIRAL INFECTIONS
Very difficult to treat with traditional medicines, symptoms can
be reduced by eating raw garlic at the start of a cold or flu. If
you can not face the pungent smell, try odourless garlic table supplements.
Echinacea is wonderful as a long term help if you suffer from many
colds etc as it naturally aids the immune system and can shorten
the length and severity of the complaint.

& tips from your side of the counter........
Want to look 10 years younger? Well the topical muscle relaxant
gel PROTOX may be what you are looking for.
If you have had or are considering Botox injections this may prove
to be a suitable alternative.
WHAT IS PROTOX?
Protox consists of two vital ingredients, Argireline Hexapeptide
to relax muscle, and Hyaluronic Acid to repair sub-dermal cross-linking.
Protox works to gradually reduce muscular contractions allowing
natural facial expressions and a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Protox is administered in a hydrating, free-radical scavenger gel
to help repair wrinkled skin.
Unlike Botox injections, which paralyse local facial muscles, PROTOX
involves no needles, no surgery and does not create the PLASTIC
look that Botox is criticised for.
Protox claims to be able to reduce wrinkles by upto 50% with an
average improvement of 35%, excellent results and well worth a try
if you want smoother, younger looking skin!

A FACT |

Fact
- Women get worse hangovers than men.
You have often wondered the morning after the night before and now
your suspicions are confirmed:- us women get worse hangovers after
a drinking bout than men do. This is so obvious? We are smaller
than men, right? Not necessarily! Women have a lower percentage
of water in their body, so suffer higher levels of intoxication
. Dehydration is part and parcel of a hangover and one of the biggest
causes of the symptoms - nausea, headaches, trembling etc. Plus
we have lower levels of alcohol dehydrogenase, the enzyme that digests
and dispels alcohol from the stomach.
Do drink lots of water before going to bed after a night out. People
taking evening primrose oil suffer less due to the GOOD FATS which
help to metabolise alcohol. Many people swear by an effervescent
Vitamin C tablet on rising. A friend of mine drinks a glass of mineral
water in between every alcoholic drink and swears she has never
had a hangover!
