NSAIDs are among the most widely prescribed drugs for rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory joint conditions. Their effects are mediated through inhibition of the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. They work by irreversibly blocking cyclooxygenase, the enzyme which catalyses the reactions of arachidonic acid to endoperoxide compounds. The neurological and gastrointestinal side effects of these agents have been reviewed in considerable detail. All of the NSAIDs, with the exception of Cytotec, inhibit prostaglandin El, a local hormone responsible for gastric mucosai cytoprotection. A common side effect from these medications is gastric ulcers. More serious adverse reactions such as blood dyscrasias, kidney damage and cardiovascular effects have been noted. Most physicians rotate among the ten most widely prescribed NSAIDs, as soon as one causes negative side effects.

Histamines are part of the body's immune system, they are released from mast cells in the body in response to perceived threats.

So I ordered a pack of three tubes.' 'I can tell you that last night my wife slept all night without being woken by pain for the first time in more than a decade. Also, we went shopping this morning and once again she was totally pain free as she wizzzed round the supermarket on her electric buggy. When I say pain free I refer to a particular kind of pain dues to arthritis, the pain associated with her collapsed spine remains. But it's magic.' 'A near neighbour, an old lady of 84 often cries with pain and was so astonished at the effect of a wee drop of Pernaton on her hands that she asked me to order three tubes for her — which I did yesterday.'

A team at the University of North Carolina found that garlic lovers slashed their risk of the disease by two thirds. It is thought that the Allicin in garlic may block cancer causing compounds from forming tumours or inhibit the growth of tumour cells. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html GRANNY WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF GARLIC!

Try SERRAZYME SERRAPEPTASE. For over a quarter of a century, the use of Serrapeptase as an anti inflammatory has been widespread throughout Europe and Asia. This 'plant grown' enzyme was originally noticed over 30 years ago being used by the silkworm in its cocoon to dissolve proteins. And now set to become the most revolutionary and widely used natural alternative to anti inflammatory drugs without the side effects! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=183&num=6 NEW BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL STUDY SUGGESTS THAT NON STEROIDAL ANTI INFLAMMATORIES MAY CARRY SOME RISK "Enough concern exists to warrant a reconsideration of the cardiovascular safety of all NSAIDS" says Study Author Professor Julia Hippisley-Cox. Serrapeptase, technically known as Serrato Peptidase, is a unique and very powerful proteolytic (protein digesting) enzyme which has wide clinical use spanning over twenty-five years throughout Europe and Asia as a viable alternative to salicylates, ibuprofen and the more potent NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs). Unlike these drugs, Serrapeptase is a naturally occurring, physiologic agent with no inhibitory effects on prostaglandins and is devoid of gastrointestinal side effects. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=184&num=6 SUPPLEMENTS FOR THE SPIRIT.

In fact, feet have more sweat glands per inch of skin than any other part of the body, and these glands produce sweat all the time, not just when it's hot or when you exercise as other parts of the body do. When the sweat lingers on the skin and in the socks the bacteria that cause foot odour begin to thrive. New BRIDGEDALE WEEKENDER SOCKS contain Coolmax fibres that continually wick and dissipate away sweat from the feet and socks leaving them feel fresh and dry and in addition contain the finest silk and merino wool to keep feet cool in summer and warm in winter and lycra for a perfect wrinkle free fit! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html BOOSTING BRAIN POWER AND BRAIN HEALTH. Taking a high quality flax seed oil supplement such as ARKOPHARMA FLAX SEED OIL ARKO CAPSULES can be critical to proper brain function. A lack of Omega3 fatty acids has been linked to poor brain function in children, attention deficit disorder, Alzheimer's, depression and many other brain and mental disorders. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=199&num=4 DO YOU SUFFER FROM FREQUENT NOSEBLEEDS? Nosebleeds are common but hardly ever serious. Most bleeds occur in front of the nose in the Littles area, a point on the septum (the partition dividing the nose) where a number of blood vessels meet. This area is prone to drying out as it absorbs the impact of the air entering the nostrils making it more fragile. Bleeding from the back of the nose is less common is usually more severe and has been linked to high blood pressure. Taking blood thinning medication, nose picking and vigorous nose blowing can all cause nosebleeds. As can sinus infections, colds and allergies which all increase blood supply to the area and make the lining more delicate. Using a NASALINE SALINE DOUCHE is soothing and healing. It helps dissolve dried secretions and also keeps the area moist enough to speed up recovery of the irritated and inflamed nasal lining. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1767&num=2 WHY DO OUR HEADS GET HOT WHEN WE SLEEP? Have you noticed how you often subconsciously turn your pillow over to find a cool spot to lie on - even in winter? That's because the body tends to lose most heat through the head at night and most foam and fibre fill pillows will tend to trap and hold in heat rather than dissipate it. The LINELLE MAGNETIC, COOLING AND BREATHABLE RABATAN FOAM PILLOW not only helps keep the head, neck and pillow from overheating but can also help manage fevers, hot flushes, and night sweats and even hot feet! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html EATING WITH HANDS NOT PROPERLY WASHED AND DRIED IS DANGEROUS So says a recent Canadian study into personal hygiene and cross contamination.

Research at Birmingham and Loughborough Universities have established that a major cause of breathlessness is the weakness of the muscles we use to breathe to expand the chest and draw breath. Research has shown that people who exercise and strengthen these muscles known as inspiratory muscles feel less breathless and find they are able to do things that previously left them gasping for breath. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=239&num=3 STATINS BLOCK THE BODYS ABILITY TO MAKE UBIQUINONE Q10 COMMONLY KNOWN AS COENZYME Q10.

The Chondroitin in BIO GLUCOSAMINE PLUS is guaranteed to be more concentrated than the Chondroitin in many other products and is 90% pure. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR JOINTS AND CARTILAGE AS WE GET OLDER Pain and stiffness in the joints as we get older is a common occurrence and is due to the stresses and strains that literally wear the joints out. It need not be the result of running or severe exercise, merely the result of everyday activities that take their toll over time. Most long term damage occurs when the lubricating fluid or synovial fluid within the joints which should when healthy be almost a jelly like consistency becomes thin and watery and as it thins, so the joint cartilage which covers the ends of the bones becomes worn and rubbed. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html GLUCOSAMINE IS THE BEST NATURAL SUPPLEMENT FOR MUSCULAR AND JOINT PROBLEMS. Glucosamine is a key building block for making cartilage and works primarily to stimulate joint function and repair. It has been shown to be effective in numerous scientific trials for treating osteoarthritis pain, rehabilitating cartilage, renewing synovial fluid and repairing joints that have been damaged by osteoarthritis. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat1/cat9/cat176/Active_O2_Plain_Oxygenated_Water_-_1_x_500ml_-_From_the_depths_of_the_Bavarian_Alps/index.html A GROUND BREAKING CASE STUDY IN HOLLAND HAS SHOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME HOW GLUCOSAMINE AND CHONDRIOTIN SUPPLEMENTATION CAN HELP TREAT SYMPTOMATIC DISC DEGENERATION.

Long periods of sitting, standing or lack of exercise cause blood to accumulate leading to congestion in the leg veins and a breakdown in the tiny fragile capillary walls which allow fluid to get into them. This causes water retention and an uncomfortable feeling of pressure, swelling and tingling. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=308&num=2 WINTERS HERE. AROMATHERAPY HOT SOX.

Our bodies naturally take their cues to wake from light and dark triggers, so being woken by a buzzing alarm clock on dark winter mornings upsets the body's natural rhythm, playing havoc with our metabolism, appetite and stimulating food cravings, excessive bingeing and snacking and weight gain. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=351&num=8 CANT GET OUT OF BED ESPECIALLY IN WINTER?

Your body clock is governed by sunset and sunrise, light and dark cues which means that we wake naturally at dawn and sleep when it gets dark. But our daily sleep and work patterns rarely correspond to these light cues because we tend to have to get up when it's dark when our bodies are not naturally ready or conditioned to wake. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=357&num=5 REGULAR MOISTURISATION FOR ECZEMA AND DRY ITCHY SKIN Itchy skin and eczema is often associated with dry skin and one of the best ways to combat it is with regular moisturisation with NOURELLA DERMANOVA SKIN RELIEF CREAM, the natural steroid free solution for dry, itchy, skin including eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=358&num=2 BATHING IN DEAD SEA SALTS IS RECOMMENDED FOR PSORIASIS BEAUTY OF LIFE DEAD SEA BATH SALTS contain a wealth of healing salts rich in magnesium, calcium, potassium, bromides and sodium to help heal, condition and revitalise the skin, balance skin moisture and help relieve and heal skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, persistent itching burning and flakiness. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=359&num=2 EAT TO BEAT ECZEMA AND PSORIASIS Eczema like psoriasis is often associated with a lack of omega3 essential fatty acid so its worth supplementing with a high quality flax seed oil supplement either with capsules or bottled oil that can be used to drizzle over salads or pizza or simply as a delicious dip with wholemeal bread. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=360&num=14 HOODIA GORDONII.

A healthy intestinal flora helps safeguard the efficiency of our guts immune system, helps keep bad bacteria in check and transforms certain human waste products into substances that are useful to the organism. This flora balance can be upset by everyday factors like stress, antibiotic treatments and poor diet, so safeguarding this precious equilibrium is therefore vital. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=403&num=2 IS WINTER DEPRESSION MAKING YOU FEEL REALLY LOW?

A Research Group at the Southampton Medical School published in September in the Journal of Complimentary and Alternative Medicine a placebo controlled study of Lavender as a safe effective treatment for mild insomnia. Aromatherapy Oils are absorbed through the skin and into the brain through the lining of the nose.

However, during the winter months or with shift work our sleep wake patterns move out of harmony with our natural biological clocks creating a perpetual state of internal de-synchronisation and disrupting the production of vital melatonin. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=437&num=6 SHALLOW BREATHING.

A natural tonic for your health! Quite apart from putting you in a good mood laughing has profound health benefits too! Laughing sets off a reaction in your brain which releases Endorphins that improves your mood and reduces levels of the stress hormone Cortisol. It prompts physiological changes that may be beneficial to your Immune and Endocrine system as well as other systems of your body. Laughing also has a benefical effect on circulation improving the dilation of blood vessels which in turn increases blood flow and decreases blood pressure. Laughing also reduces the symptoms of depression and insomnia, improves sleep quality and works out the abdominal muscles, the diaphragm, facial muscles, respiratory system and even the back! Yet as we get older we seem to laugh a lot less perhaps burdened by the stresses of everyday living! But you can laugh more, simply by listening to laughter. Laughter sounds can be so infectious that even after a particularly challenging and stressful day, just listening to sounds of laughter can take your mind off your problems, lift your spirits and before you know it youve caught the laughter bug! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html MICROWAVEABLE WARMING COMFORTER.

Supplementing daily with this remarkable supplement can reinvigorate your total health. A potent antioxidant, it protects the body from harmful free radicals that cause degenerative and age related diseases, reduces the risk of heart attack and strokes, restores blood platelets to their normal condition and reduces the stickiness that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. BIO PYCNOGENOL also protects the inner lining of blood vessels, supports healthy blood pressure, normalises healthy cholesterol levels and helps improve circulation by relaxing the constriction of the arteries and other blood vessels caused by the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline. Thus BIO PYCNOGENOL has a key antistress function, supporting a better blood flow during periods of stressful living. BIO PYCNOGENOL also binds to collagen in the skin to maintain healthy skin elasticity, helping to keep the skin firm and reduce wrinkles. BIO PYCNOGENOL also improves micro circulation of the tiny skin capillaries, supporting better oxygen and nutrient supply and better hydration, as well as protecting the skin from UV damage. Hence BIO PYCNOGENOL usage over time can result in fewer wrinkles and smoother skin with a healthy vibrant glow and tone. Last but not least, BIO PYCNOGENOL is of special value to diabetics in helping to reduce diabetic retinopathy and cataracts. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat151/cat161/cat265/FEEL_GOOD_SENSUALITY_AROMA_COLLECTION._A_warming_and_sense_evoking_experience._Finest_Red_Aromatherapy_Replacement_Candles_in_a_stylish_container./index.html ARE YOU AT RISK FROM DEVELOPING E THROMBOSIS? E-thrombosis is a growing danger attributed to anyone working at a desk or sitting still for extended periods of time and can be life threatening. A blood clot forms in the legs resulting from long hours of inactivity which may then break off and move into the lungs with sometimes fatal results. Researchers as do the charity Lifeblood, now believe that E Thrombosis at work may have contributed to many of the 60,000 fatalities associated with pulmonary embolisms, but gone unnoticed. But there are solutions. Walking around the office helps stimulate circulation whilst regularly supplementing with BIO PYCNOGENOL, an extract of French Maritime Pine Bark one of the most powerful natural antioxidants available today, helps to control the permeability of capillaries, prevent oedema or swollen ankles, inhibit platelet aggregation or stickiness of the blood and ultimately reduce the risk of thrombosis. But that’s not all BIO PYCNOGENOL can do.....! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat151/cat161/cat265/PELLING_SHARMAN_HOME_COLLECTION_NIGHT_LIGHT_SCENTED_CANDLES.__SET_OF_3_SCENTED_NIGHT_LIGHTS_with_the_comforting_aromas_of_home_baked_bread,_vanilla_and_earl_grey_tea./index.html BIO PYCNOGENOL. PROTECTION AGAINST E THROMBOSIS. New warnings are emerging for people spending hours sitting at their desks, of the dangers of blood clots and deep vein thrombosis. But it is preventable.

BIO PYCNOGENOL is one of the most powerful antioxidant nutrients, a complex of several antioxidants from the relatively large molecules of the procyanidins (bioflavonoids) to the relatively smaller molecules of catechin, epicatechin, and organic acids. This large array of molecular size of antioxidants in BIO PYCNOGENOL allow the antioxidants to be delivered widely and efficiently throughout the body, reaching cell interiors as well as circulating in the bloodstream to protect cell exteriors to destroy free radicals before they can do damage to the body. BIO PYCNOGENOL can also regenerate other antioxidants. Containing potent organic antioxidants and measurable levels of the inorganic minerals in the body needed to build antioxidant enzymes and related antioxidants within the cells, tests show that BIO PYCNOGENOL can almost double the levels of superoxide dismutase, catalyse, and glutathione. But BIO PYCNOGENOL is much more than a powerful, multipurpose antioxidant. It has strong anti inflammatory, immune boosting, spasmolytic (antispasmodic) and anticoagulant (anti blood clotting) properties. In addition BIO PYCNOGENOL stimulates the production of skin protein and binds to skin proteins to protect them against harmful enzymes. All of these actions combine to make BIO PYCNOGENOL unique in its ability to give significant health benefits not known to be produced by any other antioxidant nutrient. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat151/cat161/cat265/FEEL_GOOD_TRANQUILITY_AROMA_COLLECTION._A_calming_and_peaceful_experience._Finest_Blue_Aromatherapy_replacement_Candles_in_a_stylish_container./index.html AEROMIST WATER SPRAY FAN.

BIO PYCNOGENOL ANTIOXIDANT. Ageing is the process that reduces the number of healthy active cells in the body by the cumulative effect of billions of cellular free radical reactions. Free radicals can damage cell membranes and impair the cell’s ability to transport nutrients into the cell, impair the cell’s ability to transport waste products out of the cell, damage the cells DNA, damage the lysosomal sac releasing deadly lysosomes – enzymes that destroy other cell components, fuse proteins together so proteins do not function properly, and form by- products such as the age pigment lipofuscin or advanced glycosylated end products that accumulate over time to interfere with healthy cell function. BIO PYCNOGENOL is one of the most powerful antioxidant nutrients, a complex of several antioxidants such as the relatively large molecules of the procyanidins (bioflavonoids) and the relatively smaller molecules of catechin, epicatechin, and organic acids. This large array of molecular size of antioxidants in BIO PYCNOGENOL allow antioxidants to be distributed widely and efficiently throughout the body, reaching cell interiors as well as circulating in the bloodstream to protect cell exteriors and destroying free radicals before they can do damage to the body.

Some call it the ring of life – it may well be the most extraordinary six membered ring of life, the ubiquitous quinone UBIQUINONE OR COENZYME Q10. Discovered by Fred Crane in 1957, this essential component of cellular energy production and fat soluble antioxidant has since been found to be essential to all life forms including bacterial life as menaquinone and plant life as plastoquinone. Adequate levels of UBIQUINONE are consistently associated with vigour and health but with deficiencies in UBIQUINONE, cells cannot produce the energy needed to fuel all the vital bio energetic processes for the body to function and the result is ill health and disease. Human body tissue only contains COENZYME Q10 in the form of UBIQUINONE. The body obtains UBIQUINONE from the food we eat but most is produced by the liver. But the livers ability to create UBIQUINONE can be weakened by illness and stress and more importantly by the ageing process. BIO QUINONE Q10 contains active UBIQUINONE dissolved in soya bean oil in soft gelatine capsules to provide the highest degree of bio availability of active UBIQUINONE. Taking BIO QUINONE 10 capsules to make up for UBIQUINONE deficiencies could have a profound effect on heath, well being and fitness and could even hold the key to a longer, healthier life. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=586 PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC FATIGUE MAY RESPOND WELL TO OMEGA3 SUPPLEMENTS. Do you wake up to chronic fatigue? Over the last hundred years, oil refining, cereal milling, factory farming, air and chemical pollution, smoking, alcohol even stress have served to deplete omega3 levels in our bodies to critically low levels. Our average diet today supplies just 20% of the vital amount needed daily for every cell in our bodies to function properly. And because the body is unable to manufacture it - omega3 EFA's are often described as the 'Nutritional Missing Link'. However, its only relatively recently that scientists have discovered the true potency, the exceptional nutritional value and the extensive health benefits of omega3's in Flax Seeds and Flax Seed Oils and the links between the omega3 deficit to an ever increasing catalogue of modern health problems - from elevated serum cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, weight gain, fatigue and low energy levels, depression and mood swings, inflammatory diseases such as arthritis to even some cancers. Yet correcting this often chronic omega3 deficit can be achieved so easily - by putting this essential fatty acid back in to our diets. A regular supplement of Flax Seed Oil will restore the imbalance even after years of omega3 deficiency! In fact, a study in the British Journal of Nutrition found that subjects consuming Flax Seed Oils for just four weeks not only increased their levels of omega3 EFA's but also reduced cholesterol by 9.0% and blood glucose by 27.0%! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat151/cat161/cat162/Menastil_Compact_Roll_On._With_soothing_Calendula_Oil/index.html LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE FOR CHRONIC FATIGUE. Many scientists believe that chronic fatigue may be linked to lymphatic congestion or overloading of the lymph glands. The lymphatic system is part of the immune system which carries cells that “eatâ€? viruses, bacteria, and other toxic substances. The lymphatic system does not have a pump of its own like blood vessel which have the heart, but depends on auxiliary help to move the lymphatic fluid around the body, such as exercise, breathing and muscle contractions. If the lymphatic system is not working properly, blood, proteins, fluid and toxins - such as bacteria, viruses and hormones - build up and stagnate in the tissue spaces causing oedema (swelling due to excess fluid), pain, loss of energy and infection. Lymphatic congestion may develop for a number of reasons, including lack of exercise, sports injury, immobility due to illness or accidents, a damaged or sluggish lymph system, high blood pressure, stress and trauma or allergic reactions. Even diet and depression can play a part. Regular lymphatic drainage massage helps to restore lymph flow, improve circulation, increase toxin elimination and boost the body's immune system, ultimately relieving pain and reducing fatigue. Weight loss and a reduction in swelling at an injury site can also be achieved through loss of fluid. The OPAL TWO IN ONE SISAL DRY BODY BRUSH AND CELLULITE MASSAGER has two sides, one side with a toning brush to stimulate circulation and the other special rubber nodules for a lymphatic massage. For a lymphatic massage, start with a toning brush, followed by a massage with gentle light circular strokes starting at the throat, then under the arms, on to the chest area, stomach, abdomen, arms, back and legs to stimulate the tissues and open up the lymph nodes so waste is naturally flushed out of the body. And to help speed up elimination, work on the stomach again as is where most of the fluid and toxins finally get flushed out The result of stimulating lymphatic drainage massage is a better balanced fluid metabolism, improved immune health, a beautiful skin tone and enhanced stamina and energy levels. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat4/cat38/cat311/ZESTRA_FEMININE_AROUSAL_OIL._The_ultimate_natural_botanical_feminine_arousal_oil._6_x_0.8ml_Sachets_per_Carton/index.html DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS. ZINOPIN HELPS SUPPORT DEEP VEIN HEALTH. Prolonged periods of immobility puts long haul air travellers at risk from Deep Vein Thrombosis as a result of compression of the venous system, dehydration due to the generally dry cabin atmosphere, diuretics such as caffeine or alcohol and decreased air pressure and cabin hypoxia which can lead to reduced fibrinolytic activity and stimulation of the coagulation cascade. Whilst the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis is higher the older you get, it can affect people of any age and can be caused not only by long distance air travel but any long journey by car, coach or train. Developed by Dr John Scurr Leading Consultant Vascular Surgeon and expert on DVT, ZINOPIN is a medically researched natural supplement containing a unique combination of pharmaceutical grade of French Maritime Pine Bark and Ginger Root Extracts. In this natural combination, the Pine Bark Extract helps to strengthen the walls of the blood vessels and encourage better circulation to help prevent stress induced constriction of the arteries and blood clotting. Ginger can help ease the side effects of motion and travel sickness and reduce oedema or swelling in the ankles and feet. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat1/cat9/cat644/ETHERIUM_PINK._Natural_mineral_with_unique_life_energy,_energy_resonance_60_Caps/index.html REGISENSE C12 PEPTIDE. SUPPLEMENT FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. C12 Peptide is proven to be effective in reducing blood pressure in human clinical trials. Studies in Taiwan have shown C12 Peptide to be effective in reducing both Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure by suppressing the action of the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme ACE which triggers the conversion of hormones that lead to the narrowing of blood vessels and an increase in blood pressure. REGISENSE C12 PEPTIDE from SPRINGFIELD NEUTRACEUTICALS with its restraining effect on the body's ACE system, not only helps lower and stabilise blood pressure but also helps blood vessels to relax to normal. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat106/cat116/cat222/HOMEDICS_SQUSH_THERAPY_BATTERY_OPERATED_MASSAGING_FOOT_PILLOW_SQM-F2_With_unique_sqush_micropedic_beads/index.html Melatonin production falls if the lights are on Having the lights on bright before bedtime could result in a worse nights sleep, according to a study to be published in the Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism. The research shows that the body produces less of the Sleep Hormone Melatonin when exposed to light and that artificial electrical light between dusk and bedtime strongly suppressed Melatonin levels. With dimmer light however, Melatonin was produced for 90 minutes more a day! Dr Joshua Gooley lead Author from Brigham and Womens Hospital and Harvard Medical School said: 'Our study shows that this exposure to indoor light has a strong suppressive effect on the Hormone Melatonin'. 'This could in turn, have effects on sleep quality and the bodys ability to regulate body temperature, blood pressure and glucose levels'. Dr Gooley said: 'Given that chronic light suppression of Melatonin has been hypothesised to increase relative risk for some types of cancer and that Melatonin Receptor Genes have been linked to type 2 Diabetes our findings could have important health implications for shift workers'. Within the Visible Spectrum of Light however it is primarily the Blue Light that is known to suppress Melatonin. Blocking out Blue Light therefore an hour or two before sleep primes your body to allow Melatonin to flow naturally so you begin to feel drowsy and sleepy well before you get to bed. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat151/cat206/cat315/DESIGN_GO_DRY_SOUNDS_DRY_POUCH_WATERPROOF_PROTECTION_FOR_IPOD_AND_MP3_PLAYERS._With_patented_external_earphone_jack./index.html NATURAL SNORING REMEDY.

LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE UK. According to figures published on Friday May 26th 2006 by the Office for National Statistics, a staggering one in five men and one in six women died from heart disease including heart attacks in 2005. The second lead cause of death was cerebrovascular disease, mainly strokes in both men and women. But there are many things we all can do to improve heart health. A better diet, more exercise, managing stress better and taking supplements such as BIO PYCNOGENOL, BIO GARLIC, BASIKOL, FRENCH PARADOX and OMEGA3 all helping to contribute to improved heart health and a reduced risk of heart disease. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=611&num=12 EAGLE EYES SUN GLASSES. EAGLE EYES SUN GLASSES. The most technically advanced sunglasses ever! EAGLE EYES Polarised Selective Transmission (PST) SUN GLASSES incorporate the unique Polarised Selective Transmission lens, PST developed by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratories from studies of the physiology of eagles' eyes. Most birds have keen eyesight but eagles and hawks are said to have the keenest sight of all. Eagles and hawks are capable of seeing fish in the water from several hundred feet above while soaring, gliding, or even in flapping flight and can identify a rabbit moving almost a mile away! The filtering system of EAGLE EYES SUNGLASSES are designed along the same principles as an eagle or hawk's eyes, which contain tiny droplets of oil that filter out all harmful radiation, reduce the scattering of light and transmit only those wavelengths of light that allow eagles and hawks to have their amazing visual clarity free of chromatic aberration (blue light haze) even in blinding sunlight! Developed by NASA scientists and engineers the EAGLE EYES SUNGLASSES lens incorporates a unique fluid, that simulates the retinal fluid of eagles and hawks providing a protection, safety and visual acuity that's second to none! EAGLE EYES SUNGLASSES not only block out 100% of the harmful UVA and UVB rays but also 99% of blue and violet wavelengths as well as glare and the high intensity glints of sunlight which cause localised areas on the retina of the eye to receive dangerously high doses of light. Even in intense sunlight the eyes remain safe, protected and vision sharp and glare and glint free. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=612&num=20 HOOP DANCING HULA HOOPS. SHAKE YOUR HIPS!

AIR PURIFIERS FOR RESPITE AND RELIEF FROM POLLEN ALLERGIES. On days when pollen counts are particularly high, for respite and relief at home, close the windows and doors and turn on the PREM I AIR TWO IN ONE COMPACT AIR PURIFIER AND IONISER for clean, purified pollen free and pollution free air. In fact research suggests that hayfever symptoms can be worse when combined with urban pollution, because pollen allergens can interact with other particles especially diesel exhaust which sticks to the surface of pollen grains producing a more severe allergic reaction. Gaseous pollutants too such as nitrogen oxide produced by traffic fumes can also serve to worsen symptoms by slowing the action of cilia in the respiratory tract and by causing irritation of the mucous membranes. The PREM I AIR TWO IN ONE COMPACT AIR PURIFIER AND IONISER is a five stage air purifier and ioniser incorporating HEPA filters that can deep clean and filter 99.97% of airborne contaminants down to just 0.3 microns, remove odours and absorb harmful gases from a whole room that’s 20 square metres in a matter of just 15 minutes! Designed for outstanding performance and efficiency the PREM I AIR TWO IN ONE COMPACT AIR PURIFIER AND IONISER features a 5 Stage Air Purification with a Stage 1 Pre Filter to collect larger sized particles such as pollen and hair, followed by a Stage 2 Multi Filter to remove 99.97% of airborne contaminants down to 0.3microns, a Stage 3 Multi Catalyst Filter that absorbs harmful gases such as ammonia and carbon monoxide through to a Stage 4 Active Carbon Filter to remove smoke, fumes and odour and finally a Stage 5 Ion Generator that charges microscopic airborne contaminants to be captured by collector plates. The result is the cleanest, freshest, purest and healthiest air in your home free of airborne contaminants, irritants, fumes, allergens, odours and bacteria. And whilst viruses are typically 0.05 microns or less they are rarely found singly and tend to aggregate in larger clumps so that the PREM I AIR TWO IN ONE COMPACT AIR PURIFIER AND IONISER can even help reduce levels of airborne cold and flu germs in the home! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=620&num=4 THE SALT PIPE FOR EASIER BREATHING AND ASTHMA RELIEF. Asthmatics could be made to breathe easier if they are sent down into salt mines claim Finnish allergy experts and could prove a handy add on to conventional medicine. The doctors wanted to see if there was any worth in the old complementary practice of getting asthmatics to sit in natural caves and mines. They report in Allergy how they put 32 chronic asthma patients in a salt coated chamber which simulates the mines air. After two weeks the patients lungs were much less likely to show allergic hyper responsivess to their environment the South Karelia Hospital doctors say. Now you can achieve the benefits of rock salt vapours easily and simply and in the comfort of your own home with the THE SALTPIPE SALT INHALER. The modern and convenient way to benefit from salt therapy. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat106/cat116/cat222/SCHOLL_DR4051_UK1_MASSAGING_BATH_PILLOW.__A_battery_operated_luxury_waterproof_cushion_support_to_deliver_a_soothing_massage./index.html CREATE A POLLEN FREE ZONE AT HOME. Turn your home into a refuge from pollen surges that seem to be exceeding records highs and condemning millions to a summer of hayfever misery. Normally pollen counts of 50 grains per cubic metre are considered high but over recent years levels of pollen have been creeping ever higher with a level of 900 grains per cubic metre recorded in 2005 and expected to increase still further in 2006. Research also suggests that hayfever symptoms brought about by pollen allergies can be even worse when combined with urban pollution, because pollen allergens can interact with other particles especially diesel exhaust which sticks to the surface of pollen grains producing a more severe allergic reaction.

KNOW THE DANGERS AND USE SUNSCREEN. We all know that too much sun is dangerous for our skin, but too little and we risk depleting our body of Vitamin D the 'sunshine vitamin' said to help prevent other cancers namely breast, ovarian and colon. But before you skip off to the beach with glee, consider the 70,000 new cases of skin cncer that are diagnosed each year making it now the most common cancer among those aged 15 to 39 in Britain. Its not about avoiding the sun at all times, but about getting the right balance and when exposed to the sun, covering up or using the right SPF factor sunscreens. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=627&num=20 SHOULDERSBACK. ADJUSTABLE POSTURE BACK SUPPORT. New SHOULDERSBACK helps achieve better posture, prevent slouching and relieve back pain as thousands have already discovered. Hunching over computers, clutching the car steering wheel, slouching on the sofa watching TV, it seems that modern life conspires to encourage poor posture and the backache that can often go with it.

Ive got just the natural remedy! It might sound like a far fetched chat up line, but its true! A thirty minute kissing session can reduce the body’s allergic reaction to pollen, a study has found. Kissing relaxes the body and reduces the production of histamine a chemical pumped out in response to an allergen. Britain has more than 13 million hay fever sufferers whose symptoms range from a runny nose and itchy eyes to severe reactions such as asthma attacks. Dr Hajime Kimata from the Satou Hospital in Japan said “These results indicate for the first time that kissing may alleviate allergic responsesâ€? In this study, 24 men and women with hay fever were told to spend 30 minutes kissing their partners whilst listening to soft music. Blood samples were taken before and after to test levels of the histamine IgE. Then the experiment was repeated but the couples were allowed only to cuddle and not to kiss. The results published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research showed a significant drop in IgE after the kissing session but no response at all to cuddling. But if you haven’t anyone who can oblige, there’s HAYMAX.NATURAL DRUG FREE POLLEN BARRIER that works simply by acting as a trap – or a blocker.

Hay fever sufferers in the UK have been advised to prepare for the highest pollen count in living memory. A combination of wet and warm weather in the past few weeks has provided ideal conditions for the grasses that make summer a misery for the 12 million or so in Britain who suffer from hay fever. John Emberlin Director of the National Pollen and Aerobiology Research Unit said that pollen counts in 2006 could exceed those of the record highs of 2005. - We are expecting it to be worse than average and as severe as last year – possibly a bit worse!? Professor Emberlin said, “We are expecting exceedingly good conditions for dispersal? To put it in perspective, pollen counts of 50 grains per cubic meter are considered high but last year levels of more than 900 grains were recorded. This year June could exceed 1000 grains. And allergic reactions to pollen are further exacerbated by pollutants in the air which when combined with pollen make them even more allergenic, as well as climate change where the longer periods of hot and dry weather produce greater amounts of protein in the pollen making them even more allergenic. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=646&num=6 FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING? TRY SOME POWER BREATHING! Avoid all mood altering substances. Drinking lots of coffee or alcohol, smoking cigarettes or popping a tranquiliser before speaking does not improve your delivery. In fact they could make you feel far worse so its best to avoid them altogether. But most of all improve your breathing. With regular use of your POWERBREATHE BREATHING EXERCISER for just a few minutes a day you can achieve your lungs full potential within about four weeks. Better breathing means more oxygen to your lungs and brain, more energy, more endurance and stamina and a far greater ability to deal with stress. And have you noticed that at times when you are anxious your words can come out in a feeble weak and squeaky voice? Thats because anxiety and stress tightens and constricts your airways. Better breathing expands your throat and chest promoting relaxation and gives you outstanding voice projection whether you are singing, performing or delivering a lecture or a speech. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1753&num=8 CYSTIC FIBROSIS. THE BENEFITS OF SALT THERAPY. Simple salt therapy could prove a simple and effective treatment for cystic fibrosis. Those with the condition lack a crucial enzyme that normally keeps the lungs and airways clear. They suffer chronic lung damage because of the build up of excessive amounts of mucus ultimately leading to respiratory failure. Work now being done in the US and Australia was first triggered by the discovery that people with Cystic Fibrosis who were surfers had fewer lung infections. Researchers believe that it is the sea salt spray that helps clear their lungs by thinning and breaking up mucus deep in the lungs making it easier to displace, cough up and clear. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=648&num=6 THE BENEFITS OF FISH OIL SUPPLEMENTS FOR PCOS POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME. PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a health problem that can affect a womans menstrual cycle, fertility, hormones, insulin production, heart, blood vessels and appearance. It’s the most common hormonal reproductive problem affecting up to 10% of all women of childbearing age. No one knows the exact cause of PCOS. Women with PCOS frequently have a mother or sister with PCOS. But there is not yet enough evidence to say there is a genetic link to this disorder. Many women with PCOS have a weight problem. So researchers are looking at the relationship between PCOS and the body's ability to make insulin. Since some women with PCOS make too much insulin, its possible that the ovaries react by making too many male hormones called androgens. The symptoms of PCOS are infrequent or irregular periods, infertility or the inability to get pregnant as a result of not ovulating, increased growth of hair on the face, chest, stomach, back and toes due to high levels of androgenic male hormones, acne, oily skin and dandruff, pelvic pain and weight gain. Other symptoms of PCOS are type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, male pattern baldness or thinning of the hair and patches of thickened and dark brown or black skin on the neck, arms, breasts or thighs. There are some nutritional supplements which may have potential benefits without the possible side effects of uterine bleeding, weight gain and liver failure seen with some of the conventional approaches. High quality fish oil supplements may be an important component in the treatment of PCOS. Fish oils have been shown to increase thermogenesis, decrease body fat deposition and improve glucose clearance. Clinical trials have shown that a dose of 4g/day is effective at regulating postprandial lipemia. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=652&num=2 HAYFEVER. NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS FOR EXTRA PROTECTION. The symptoms of hayfever can appear as early as the beginning of March in Britain when trees begin to blossom, and the season can end as late as November when the mould spores that decompose flora appear. A number of natural supplements can help provide added protection against hayfever and help minimise and ease its effects. Because free radicals activate the release of histamine and cause inflammation resulting in allergy symptoms, GRAPE SEED EXTRACT supplements, rich in the antioxidant oligomeric proanthocyandins OPC’s can help prevent the production of histamine and hence counteract allergic reactions. GARLIC too has antihistamine effects as well as being a potent natural antibiotic, as does QUECERTIN, another safe natural antihistamine, a flavonoid extracted from onions. PYCNOGENOL an extract of French Maritime Pine Bark according to several clinical studies helps inhibit the release of histamine thus preventing the immediate reaction towards a challenge with an antigen and since this powerful antioxidant is an anti-inflammatory, it also inhibits production of pro-inflammatory mediators. Finally supplemenation with a strong multivitamin and mineral complex can help and afford additional overall protection. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=654&num=8 38% OF PEOPLE ON HOLIDAY END UP WITH A STOMACH BUG! The highest risk according the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine is for travellers to India where 52% of all people travelling there on holiday or business succumb to holiday bugs, followed by 47% of travellers to Peru, 42% of travellers to Sri Lanka, 35% of travellers to Egypt and 33% of travellers to Cuba. The lowest risk countries include Belgium, Estonia, Poland, The Netherlands, Luxembourg and Singapore. Being aware of those destinations of highest risk and taking well chosen remedies and measures can help to reduce those risks considerably. The first and most important measure you can take is to always carry a small handy travel tube of ASSEPTGEL so whenever you munch on snacks, or eat, you can disinfect and freshen your hands instantly and so prevent any cross contamination of harmful bacteria from your hands to your food. Next be especially careful with the water that you drink and the food that you eat. Try to keep to bottled water and use CITROSEPT GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT LIQUID CONCENTRATE. NATURAL ANTIBIOTIC, ANTIVIRAL. ANTIFUNGAL AND ANTIPARASITIC, an invaluable natural supplement to include in your travel first aid kit. Effective as a preventative and to help treat contaminated water or food borne bacteria and parasitic gastrointestinal infections and disorders that cause diarrhoea, pains in the stomach, nausea and vomiting, CITROSEPT GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT LIQUID CONCENTRATE, is also effective against Candida fungal infections, bladder infections, cold and flu, mouth ulcers and bleeding gums. And go with PROBIOTICS. Taking beneficial bacteria supplementation with FERZYM PLUS can help to promote a healthy balance of microflora in the intestines by helping to displace bad bacterial flora in favour of good bacterial flora, so important when on holiday or travel when the digestive system is especially exposed to the threat of infection. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=655&num=11 ONE IN FIVE OF ALL AIR TRAVELLERS END UP WITH THE COMMON COLD! And if you include throat infections, the risk of succumbing increases to one in every three people! The highest risk according to the Fleet Street Travel Clinic London is for long haul travellers exposed for long periods to recycled, air conditioned air in flight and so many people sitting next to each other in a confined space passing on potential bugs and infection. That’s probably why so many travellers on direct flights to Australia, the Far East and the Americas are prey to colds, coughs, flu and throat infections. Being aware of the risks and taking well chosen remedies and measures can help to reduce those risks considerably. The first and most important measure you can take is to carry the FESS FREQUENT FLYER NATURAL SALINE NASAL SPRAY. In the enclosed environment of an aircraft cabin, aircraft cabin air is recycled, low in oxygen with low humidity levels of less than 20%. The combined effects of dry and recycled air, strips away the protective coatings of the nasal passages and dries and thickens nasal mucus making you more vulnerable to germs exhaled by other passengers and increases the chance of developing respiratory infection. A buffered alkaline saline nasal spray FESS FREQUENT FLYER NATURAL SALINE NASAL SPRAY contains added moisturisers and Australian Tea Tree Oil that helps restore a healthy Mucociliary System to guard against airborne infections that lead to colds, coughs and flu. Next, use CITROSEPT GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT LIQUID CONCENTRATE. NATURAL ANTIBIOTIC, ANTIVIRAL. ANTIFUNGAL AND ANTIPARASITIC, an invaluable natural supplement to include in your travel first aid kit. Effective as a preventative and to help treat contaminated water or food borne bacteria and parasitic gastrointestinal infections and disorders that cause diarrhoea, pains in the stomach, nausea and vomiting, CITROSEPT GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT LIQUID CONCENTRATE, is also effective against Candida fungal infections, bladder infections, cold and flu, mouth ulcers and bleeding gums. OREGACYN P73 is another useful natural travel anti viral supplement, a natural blend of wild oregano oil, cumin, sage and cinnamon oils to help fight off colds, flu and viral infections and highly effective too for respiratory ailments caused by mould spores, fungi, yeasts and bacteria. And taking NEW CHAPTER MYCOMEDICINALS HOST DEFENSE TRAVEL THROAT MIST, a handy throat spray, mint flavoured mushroom complex helps to help maintain, protect and restore immune health on the go. The stresses of travel, changes in weather and food, noise, deadlines, all tend to lower your immunity. So too does contact with crowds inside an aeroplane, public transport, shops, airports, cinemas, theatres, restaurants or offices or anywhere that’s full of people with an already stress induced suppressed immune system means latent viruses have free reign to stage a comeback in your mucous membranes making it easier – in some cases up to twice as easy for you to succumb to colds and flu, respiratory infections and secondary bacterial infections. That’s why numerous studies show that people are often more susceptible to colds and flu whilst travelling and take hold so readily after busy intense business or holiday trips. So when you begin to feel run down or at the first sign of a tickle in the throat simply place the sprayer close to your mouth and spray 3-4 squirts back toward your throat. Do this up to twice a day and let your immune system do the rest! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=657&num=7 ONE IN TEN OF ALL HOLIDAY MAKERS ENDS UP WITH A PAINFUL SPRAIN OR STRAIN. So says the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Something handy to carry in the family travel first aid kit is the ICEPOWER GEL Travel Tube.

ALTERNATIVE NATURAL REMEDIES. Hay fever or rhinitis is one of the commonest forms of allergy and can be extremely unpleasant for sufferers. Around 10 million people in the UK suffer from hay fever, an allergy to pollen from plants and trees. For severe hay fever sufferers, the summer months can spell one long period of stinging eyes and stuffy noses. Other symptoms include frequent sneezing, sinusitis and excess catarrh. Conventional treatments for hay fever include antihistamines which can cause a number of side effects such as drowsiness and lethargy. But there are a range of alternative natural remedies for hay fever sufferers that can provide help and relief. Available from: www.livingiseasy.co.uk http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=665&num=12 NATURAL WAYS TO HELP PREVENT STROKE. The prospect of a stroke is terrifying. It strikes without warning and seemingly at random. Victims have partial and sometimes total loss of brain function which can last for many days or even lead to death. Although medicine provides a choice of mainly blood thinning drugs to reduce the risk of stroke, alternative medicine can offer genuine options to prevent stroke and rehabilitate stroke victims. Maintaining high levels of certain antioxidants and essential fatty acids and supplementing with garlic extract can help prevent stroke, as can practising meditation. In a trial that involved nearly 30,000 Chinese, supplementation with a combination of Vitamin A, Vitamin E and Selenium was associated with a substantially lower incidence of stroke over the five years of the study. In another trial that involved some 11,000 Italian patients who had suffered recent heart attacks, patients given OMEGA3 supplements results revealed that over time, cardiovascular deaths including stroke significantly declined. Of all types of phytotherapy for the prevention of strokes, GARLIC works best even among those at high risk of stroke, significantly reducing the potential of blood platelets to clot. But taking garlic supplements for those at higher risk needs to become a lifetime strategy because no sooner is the therapy stopped then the clotting tendency of platelets reverts back to original levels. Besides dietary intervention, meditation too, by promoting deep relaxation can also prove beneficial. An ingenious study examining the effects of meditation on the main arteries to the brain showed a reduction in the thickness of the lining of the carotid arteries in those who had meditated for six to nine months so reducing the risk of strokes. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=683&num=4 CANNED OXYGEN. OPUR HANDY PORTABLE CANISTERS. Nipping off for a quick breather used to mean going for a brisk walk, but not any more!

Not just for urban dwellers living with growing pollution and carbon monoxide emissions, extra oxygen can benefit everybody by increasing brain power by up to 20% according to researchers at the University of Northumbria Human Cognitive Neuroscience Unit. While this might not translate directly into tangible benefits, a breath of fresh air is likely to make you feel good! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=687&num=6 BUTTERBUR FOR MIGRAINE RELIEF. BUTTERBUR is a perennial shrub found throughout Europe as well as parts of Asia and North America and has been used medicinally for centuries. The plant can grow to a height of three feet and is usually found in wet, marshy ground in damp forests adjacent to rivers and streams. The name BUTTERBUR is the common name for PETASIDES HYBRIDUS and originated from the use to which its big leaves were put, that to wrap up butter during warm weather! During the middle ages, BUTTERBUR was used to treat the plague and fever and in the 17th century was noted for its use in treating coughs, asthma and skin wounds. One of the primary therapeutic applications for BUTTERBUR today is the prophylactic treatment of migraines. Clinical studies show a significant reduction, as much as 60% in the frequency of migraine attacks compared to the placebo, a reduction in the number of days with migraines per month, a decrease in migraine associated symptoms and diminished duration and intensity of pain. The primary active constituents of BUTTERBUR are two sesquiterpenes, petasin and isopetasin. LINPHARMA BUTTERBUR PETASIN is rich in active petasins and is manufactured to the very highest standards of purity with all of the plants natural pyrrolizidine alkaloids removed.

When its hot and humid whilst asleep at night your body struggles to keep cool. Most excess heat is lost through the head to thermoregulate body temperature and keep it from overheating. But the problem is that all pillows, whether foam or fibre act as super efficient insulators, trapping the heat rather than dissipating it so frustrating the bodys natural cooling system from working efficiently. CHILLOW is a simple yet amazing concept. A slim pad that’s either inserted under your pillow case or simply placed on top of your pillow and activated simply by filling it with water, just once. The water is then absorbed into the patented foam core and remains at a perfect cool temperature without the need for refrigeration! As your head rests on the CHILLOW it absorbs the excess heat released from the head and then spreads it so the heat does not accumulate at the point of entry and is then dissipated much like a heat sink. The therapeutic benefits are fantastic. You keep cooler at night, you are much less restless, your sleep less disturbed and you wake up so much more refreshed even when the nights have been hot, sweltering and humid! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat151/cat161/cat361/COPPERCRAFT_MENS_DESIGNER_MAGNETIC_HEMATITE_BRACELET_WRAPS._AWARD_WINNING_DESIGNS._AN_EXQUISITE_FUSION_OF_NATURAL_1500_Gauss_MAGNETIC_THERAPY_AND_STUNNINGLY_DESIGNED_JEWELLERY._Design_MH-99./index.html CHILLOW FOR A SOOTHINGLY COOL PILLOW! When its hot and humid at night, maintaining the right body temperature for sleep is crucial because when our bodies get too hot it can be extremely disruptive to sleep. Our bodies have their own natural thermoregulatory system that releases much excess heat through the head at night. But pillows tend to inhibit the dissipation of heat from the head, with their fibre or foam fill acting more like super efficient insulators, so frustrating the body’s natural ability to cool itself at night. CHILLOW is a simple and compact but effective cooling system in the form of a slim pad that’s either inserted under a pillow case or simply placed on top of your pillow and activated simply by filling it with water, just once. The water is then absorbed into the patented foam core and remains at a perfect cool temperature without the need for refrigeration!

The stresses of everyday life can cause women to become infertile. A build up of tension can prevent a woman from having her period and therefore from conceiving a baby, US scientists have found. But relaxation therapies can help women become pregnant in up to 80% of cases! The US research team found that it's not only traumatic life events, but the gradual drip drip accumulation of small stresses and pressures allowed to build up without giving vent to them that can cause a lack of monthly periods and ovulation which was previously linked to under nutrition and excessive exercise. "In fact the collection of small stresses can be worse for fertility than one big stress" says Professor Sarah Berga from Emory University in Atlanta. In her studies, she found that relaxation therapy was a good way to reduce stress. A staggering 80% of the women studied, suffering infertility for more than six months and receiving Cognitive Behaviour Therapy consisting of coaching on nutrition, exercise and ways to reduce stress over a 20 week period , started ovulating again! Learning to manage stress better using a vast range of available therapies can help restore ovulation in up to four out of five cases of stress related infertility! These include relaxing baths, aromatherapy, massage, music therapy, colour therapy, better breathing, meditation and yoga, natural supplements, room ionisers, mood lighting, reflexology and self help CD's. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=727&num=170 NATURAL ITCHY SKIN TREATMENT.

HAIR LOSS SOLUTION. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=810&num=11 NOURKRIN. LEADING HAIR LOSS PRODUCT. RECENTLY VOTED "LEADING BRAND FOR HAIR LOSS" BY THE EUROPEAN MEDICAL JOURNAL. Women often experience unexpected hair loss after pregnancy during the menopause or periods of stress, through diet or even as a consequence of heated hair treatments. Yet although surveys suggest that up to 4.8 million women currently suffer from the misery of hair loss, it's a problem that few women discuss or even realise that they share with many others. If the body cant provide the scalp with the nutrients needed for healthy hair growth, individual strands become thin and wispy before ceasing to grow at all. NOURKRIN provides those nutrients to nourish hair naturally from within so that thinning hair can be stabilised and growth strengthened. As a natural food supplement, NOURKRIN is absolutely drug free and is clinically proven to help combat hair loss. NOURKRIN is an entirely natural supplement which is fortified with vitamins and minerals. The key ingredient is a protein compound of marine extracts inckuding the cartilage of deep sea fish. This is a source of Glucosamine a natural supplement that stimulates dormant hair follicles. It also contains Silica an important mineral for reducing hair loss and promoting strong, healthy hair. Professor Jan Wadstein, a hair expert at Swedens Lund University says, "There is no doubt that this supplement has a significant effect on hair growth. Women shouldn't have to suffer the misery of hair loss any more. Now with NOURKRIN there is a no risk, drug free treatment solution that can bring back thick, shiny and healthy hair - that's full of fizz" http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=811&num=12 SOOTHSOFT CHILLOW.

And even when we do, our sleep is often disturbed as we are kept awake struggling to keep cool, or constantly turning over our pillows to find a cooler spot.

Activated simply by filling it with water, just once, the water is absorbed into the patented memory foam core and as your head, back or feet rest on the CHILLOW it absorbs the excess body heat then spreads it so the heat does not accumulate at the point of entry and then dissipates it much like a heat sink rather than trapping it. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat106/cat134/cat135/Rio_Aroma_Stone_Self_Regulating_Ceramic_Vaporiser_-_Beige/index.html TWIST DANCE WITH A HULA HOOP!

NOURKRIN MAN HAIR LOSS SUPPLEMENT. ITS JUST HAIR RAISING! The main cause of hair loss in men is the sensitivity of hair follicles to the levels of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) produced naturally by the male body. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibits hair growth by shortening the lifespan, shrinking and preventing nutrients reaching the hair follicles. These affected hair follicles eventually stop producing cosmetically acceptable hair. This results most noticeably in the onset of receding hairlines and thinning crowns, with the hair in these areas including the temples and mid-anterior scalp appearing to be the most sensitive to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). When Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)is suppressed however, hair follicles continue to thrive. NOURKRIN MAN is a hair nutrition programme based on the same ingredients as the phenomenally successful NOURKRIN EXTRA STRENGTH for women - Deep sea marine protein blended with an organic, soluble Silica and Vitamin C with added Fenugreek and Omega3 to specifically tackle the hair loss problem for men. Fenugreek is a natural herb which is proven to inhibit DHT and increase the circulation of blood to the scalp thus keeping the hair follicles healthy and full of nutrients, whilst the Omega3 Fatty Acid (Cod Liver Oil extract)unsaturated acids have been shown to be an important part of the hair structure. And studies support the effects of NOURKRIN MAN. A published study in the Anglo French Dermatology Journal showed a group of middle aged males reducing their average hair thinning from 39% to just 9% after 8 months on the programme. After 6 months treatment, 40 young male subjects receiving NOURKRIN MAN showed a mean increase in non vellus hair of 38% and 95% of subjects showed both clinical and histological improvements. A significant decrease of thinning hair in young men under 30 was observed by 75% of subjects and 14.6% of subjects showed a partial regrowth of hair. After two months treatment of young and middle aged men, the thinning hair had stopped in all subjects. 43% of subjects showed total regrowth, 23% greater than 75% regrowth and 13% a 50-75% regrowth and 7% a 30-50% regrowth. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=838&num=12 NOURKRIN MALE PATTERN BALDNESS SUPPLEMENT WITH FENUGREEK. NOURKRIN MAN has the same natural ingredients as the phenomenally successful NOURKRIN EXTRA STRENGTH - Deep sea marine protein blended with an organic, soluble Silica and Vitamin C to make a unique hair nutrition programme but with added FENUGREEK and OMEGA3 specifically to tackle the problem for men. Prof Jan Wadstein MD PhD of Lund University, Sweden. Commenting on his evaluation of the effectivness of NOURKRIN MAN in reducing hair loss and promoting hair growth: "The sophisticated and complex formulation of NOURKRIN MAN has several effects on the scalp and hair. Taking NOURKRIN MAN introduces a natural and easy way to reduce hair loss and promote existing hair growth - thereby maintaining healthy hair." "NOURKRIN MAN does this in 2 principle ways:" FIRST: "NOURKRIN MAN is a unique food supplement packed with deep-sea goodness designed to feed your hair follicles with the nutrients they need for growth and quality of hair." "The active ingredients in NOURKRIN MAN feed the hair follicles and awaken dormant hair follicles thereby stopping hair loss, stimulating regrowth of new hair and strengthening the existing hair." "The active ingredients work in the following way:" Marine based extract of proteins and polysaccharides. "The marine based extract of proteins and polysaccharide are absorbed in the blood stream and brought to the scalp where it gives important nourishment to the hair follicles to produce new hair and extends the growth phase of the hair follicle, thus reducing the number of hairs in the resting phase. The net effect is a greater number of hairs growing and fewer falling out, thereby reducing hair loss." IgG and IGF-1 "The IgG has a natural antibacterial effect and eliminates bacterial growth on the skin which improves the skin barrier function and thereby improving the environment for the regrowth of hair." "IGF-1 is a natural growth factor that stimulates cell renewal. IGF-1 as a derived effect improves blood circulation to various tissues such as the scalp. Improved blood circulation to the hair follicle is clearly important in order for the body to supply a flow of necessary nutrients to the hair follicle to support hair regrowth. IGF-1 is fed to the hair follicle where it stimulates dormant follicles to start growth again, thereby stimulating the growth of existing hair." Silica Kieselguhr: "Silica plays an essential role in the connective tissue, and in general can only fulfil its functions when a sufficient daily dosage is consumed. As we age, our Silica levels decrease and we begin to show signs of ageing in our hair, such as thinning and/or lifeless hair. Silica is important for the hair to reduce hair loss and maintain healthy strong hair." Acerola Cherry Extract. "Acerola Cherry is considered to be one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C, which is a natural anti-oxidant that acts in protecting fatty acids and cells against the damaging effect of free radicals, that can cause the break down of cells. Acerola Cherry has furthermore got very active anti-fungal properties which improves the skin barrier function thereby improving the environment the hair is growing in. Finally, Acerola Cherry is a rich source of flavonoids which help increase the absorption of vitamin C." Horsetail extract. "Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is a plant that is a remarkably rich and natural source of easy-to-absorb silica. It is believed that the body uses the silica compund to keep connective tissues like hair, skin and nails healthy and strong." Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum). "In order to reduce hair loss and to improve hair growth it is of importance to reduce the transformation of testosterone to DHT in the papilla. Fenugreek has a potent anti oxidative capacity and can reduce the lipid peroxidatin which can reduce the transformation of testosterone to DHT." Cod Liver Oil extract (Omega 3 fatty acid. "Unsaturated acids have been shown to be an important part of the hair structure." SECOND: "Nourkrin MAN enables the body to utilise the nutrients." "The active ingredients improve the environment in the digestive system allowing for increased absorption of the nutrients." IgG. "IgG stimulates the internal flora and digestion and thereby increases the absorption and effectiveness of the active ingredients in Nourkrin." http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=839&num=12 SHOULDERS BACK. POSTURE CORRECTOR. THE VEST OF INTENTIONS! Its well known that slouching and bad posture creates back problems. It puts pressure on your vertebrae ultimately causing the discs to become compressed causing back pain.

The nerves in your neck become pinched, tightening the muscles and casing tension headaches. And poor posture doesn’t do much for your poise and self assuredness either! Good posture on the other hand carries a real psychological boost. It makes you feel good, your muscles, back and legs are more relaxed and theres considerably less tension in your neck and shoulders. Good posture dramatically improves your appearance.

Studies show that when our sleep wake cycles are in healthy rhythm in harmony with our natural bodyclocks we feel happier, healthier, livelier and more energetic. Our natural bodyclocks are governed by the natural light triggers of sunrise and sunset that tell the body when its time to sleep and its time to wake. But our sleep wake cycles especially in winter are in constant conflict with our natural body clocks because when the alarm rings to get us up in the morning when its dark before the sun has risen, our body clocks tell us to stay put and go back to sleep! And as we wake up in the morning to the unnatural shrill of an alarm clock our natural body clocks get completely out of sync with our work sleep patterns and the result is moodiness, irritability, depression, low energy and fatigue and even lower libido. SUNRISE ALARM CLOCKS help to fine tune our body clocks by gently waking us up naturally as the body should to a dawn simulation light so as we start each day our body clocks are in sync with our sleep wake patterns and everyday feels like a bright, breezy and sunshiny day! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1197&num=13 New generation Vitamin C for all the family.

But if you cant help your natural inclination to slouch and hunch your way through the day, the good news is that there now is a proven way to help you and your children adopt a better posture with the SPIDERMED POSTURE TRAINER! Worn over your shoulders it senses the difference between good and bad posture and actively alerts you with a short bleep when your posture is poor and stops when you correct it. Gradually over time you begin to find you instinctively walk taller and straighter and begin to experience a profound change in the way you look the way you feel and the way you connect with others. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1820&num=2 As we age we battle more with our circadian clocks. As we age we tend to become increasingly at odds with our circadian clocks. Our eyes are less receptive to normal light cues needed to set the circadian rhythm and the brain experiences a gradual loss of the neurons that control circadian rhythm and sleep. In addition as days get shorter and nights longer we tend to wake and get out of bed when its dark when our bodyclocks are telling us to continue sleeping! As a result our internal bodyclocks get to be out of sync with the actual cycle of day and night sometimes by hours resulting in fatigue, moodiness, sleep diturnabces, drowsiness, irritability, food cravings, depression and a compromised immune system as well as difficulty waking or going to sleep. SUNRISE ALARM CLOCKS create a dawn simulation with a gradually brightening light. As the light from the SUNRISE ALARM CLOCK falls on to our shut eyes, it stimulates us to awaken naturally in complete harmony with our internal biological clocks, so we stay most active, energetic and alert during the day and restful and sleepy at night. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1230&num=12 Don't blame your teenagers for being lazy! Imagine having permanent jetlag! That's how most teenagers feel! At the heart of this problem is their circadian clock, the bodys 24 hours biological clock. Teenagers get to sleep and wake at times that are mostly at a complete divergence with their biological clocks, suffering the equivalent of almost permanent jet lag. No wonder teenagers have to be prised out of their beds in the morning only to sleepwalk their way to classes and fall asleep during double history! To get round this problem, whilst they cant change their sleep and wake patterns, with a SUNRISE ALARM CLOCK they can get to harmonise their body clocks more closely to their sleep and wake patterns by resetting their circadian rhythms and bringing them back into line. So get them a SUNRISE ALARM CLOCK and cut them some slack! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1231&num=9 Feeling bloated? Lacking energy? It could be Candida Albicans. It starts little by little. In the beginning its as though you've eaten something that doesn't agree with you. No matter what you eat the problem remains. It's the eating itself that's doing it and the reaction is almost instant. That of feeling bloated and being plagued by wind. You feel constantly tired. You feel constantly tired, in low spirits and as though all your energy has been drained away. Biscuits cakes, pasta and potatoes may make the problem worse. And theres always a craving for sweets and chocolate. These are classic symptoms of Candida Albicans. An imbalance in your intestinal flora and an excess of yeast in the body that causes food cravings, little spots or a white coating on the tongue and bloating. New Nordic Dida. Contains a high concentration of Cinnamon Bark Oil and other Antifungal and Antiseptic herbal extracts that help to correct the digestive flora and maintain a healthy Candida Albicans balance. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1247&num=2 Eskimos hold the key to a great complexion and youthful skin! The Eskimos Artic Diet has inspired a revolutionary supplement that ‘freezes’ ageing and fights sun damage by nourishing the skin from the outside in. Despite living in one of the harshest climates on earth, the Eskimos of the Arctic have some of the best skin and hair of anyone on the planet. So could their way of life hold any clues that might help the rest of us to hold back the wrinkly signs of ageing and sun exposure? Professor Jan Wadstein spent months doing field research in the Arctic to discover just what gives so many Eskimos a smooth youthful complexion that can withstand the sun, wind and freezing temperatures. And he concluded it was probably their diet. After six years of intensive research and development at Lund University in Denmark Professor Wadstein has perfected a completely new and revolutionary approach to skin care that could delay and even reverse some of the most visible effects of ageing. His team has developed a 90 Day Skin Rejuvination Programme NOURELLA DELAY TACTICS that has been clinically proven to help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and combat sun damage by feeding the skin from the inside out as well as from the outside in. Users apply NOURELLA DELAY TACTICS ANTI AGEING CREAM twice daily to nourish the skins deeper layers. And at the same time also take the breakthrough supplement NOURELLA DELAY TACTICS TABLETS based on marine protein and silica, key ingredients of the Arctic Diet. The results have been astonishing! Clinical trials on those with sun damaged skin and that’s something that most of us unknowingly suffer, recorded an improvement in skin thickness of a staggering 200% after taking the supplement for 90 days. Women from all walks of life who took part in the trial experienced dramatic improvements in the quality of their skin with a softening of the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Elasticity also improved by an impressive 68% and moisture retention by up to 300% clearing up all dry patches. Trials at the University Hospital Helsinki showed that the NOURELLA DELAY TACTICS ANTI AGEING CREAM brought significant improvements too, increasing skin thickness by 31% and elasticity by 19% with 25% of the improvement visible 12 months later! The dry skin, fine lines and wrinkles that NOURELLA DELAY TACTICS is designed to combat are the signs of ageing that affect all women. Yet 80% of these adverse changes are due not just to time but to the effects of the sun which is why ageing is more evident in areas exposed to UV rays like the face, neck and hands. This damage can also be caused by the lack of sleep and smoke, pollution and alcohol, starting on the inside and affecting the structure of our skin long before it eventually shows on the outside. Until now, we have all assumed that using Anti Ageing Creams are enough to fight these fine lines and wrinkles. But our skin also needs to be nourished and fed on the inside to repair damage to its deeper structure and fight the collagen loss (about 1.5% a year from age 25) to maintain its elasticity. This is where the dual action approach of NOURELLA DELAY TACTICS is so very new and different from other skincare products. The supplements repair, restore and protect the skin from the inside, improving nails and hair as well thanks to a rejuvenating blend of marine extracts, organic soluble silica, collagen and fortified Vitamin C. As the supplements are completely natural there are no side effects. And they are also far more affordable than facelift type treatments such as surgery or injections. The patented cream uses encapsulation technology to deliver proven rejuvenators such as Vitamin A, colustrums and collagen into the deeper layers of the dermis where cell regeneration takes place. Revolutionary NOURELLA DELAY TACTICS is now recommended by dermatologists around the world and used by 150,000 people in Scandinavia alone. NOURELLA was also a finalist in the Pure Beauty Awards 2005. And celebrity fans include TV Presenter and Producer Anneka Rice who we all remember from her days on Treasure Hunt and who is now increasingly back on our screens. Like Anneka you could stop the clock and achieve smoother younger looking skin with this remarkable Arctic inspired programme that’s a facelift without the surgery. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1268&num=2 Heat therapy for a stiff neck. Stay Warm Thermotherapy Cherrystone Warming Neck Pillows. A stiff neck is usually caused by muscle strain either from exercise or the result of a hectic lifestyle. Trying to cradle a phone in between the ear and shoulder without using your hands is a common modern-day culprit. A sudden turn of the head or sleeping with too many pillows can also be the cause. For centuries, people have known that heat can relieve pain. We soak in hot baths because we know instinctively that heat will help us feel better. More often than not, the problem corrects itself within 24 to 48 hours. Paracetamol or Ibuprofen can help relieve pain and so can some tender warming therapy with a Stay Warm Thermotherapy Cherrystone Warming Neck Pillow. Heat therapy can be great for a stiff neck, helping to improve circulation and cell function, decrease stiffness in tendons and ligaments, relax the muscles, decrease muscle spasms and help to lessen pain. Heat therapy causes dilation of the blood vessels in the area being treated. This increase in blood flow brings fresh blood to the area and takes waste away from it. The result is that heat eases pain and speeds healing. For best results, warm the Stay Warm Thermotherapy Cherrystone Warming Neck Pillow to a comfortable temperature for around three minutes in a microwave and place the warmed pillow directly on the skin wrapped around the neck area you wish to treat and leave for around 15-30 minutes. Stay Warm Thermotherapy Cherrystone Warming Neck Pillows mould beautifully to the contours of the shoulder and neck. The cherrystones retain heat and release it gradually to give long lasting and penetrating heat directly to the area of discomfort. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html POWERbreathe. Which model is right for you and how do you use it? Which model is right for you?

Then as your breathing and muscle strength improve, you can adjust the resitance like any other exercise. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1278&num=3 Asthma breathing exercise. POWERbreathe Breathing Exerciser. The POWERbreathe Breathing Exerciser helps people suffering from asthma, COPD, dyspnoea, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, emphysems, heart disease, neuromuscular disease, Parkinsons disease, and spinal injury. In asthmatics, the POWERbreathe Breathing Exerciser reduced emergency medication by up to 79%, work scholl absences by 95% and emergency hospitalisations by 75%. New evidence shows that Inspiratory Muscle Training reduces visits to GPs’ by 23% and studies at Brunel University found that asthma symptoms improved with IMT by up to 75% in three weeks. The principles and science of POWERbreathe is backed by over ten years of research and development by scientists at Birmingham, Loughborough and Brunel Universities in th UK. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1279&num=3 Improve your cardiovascular endurance and recovery with POWERbreathe Breathing Exercisers. A secret weapon for competitors at all levels including professional athletes, POWERbreathe Sports Breathing Exerciser is widely recommended as a natural and effective way to build cardiovascular endurance and recovery. In fact tests show that using the POWERbreathe Sports Breathing Exerciser can result in noticeable and measurable improvements in endurance, recovery as well as speed within just four weeks. No wonder its used and endorsed by international athletes and sports associations all over the world. In competitive sports, breathlessness is a barrier to better performance. Respiratory effort can account for up to 15% of cardiac output and when the inspiratory muscles tire, they divert blood from other hardworking muscles like those in the arms or legs which limits their performance. But POWERbreathe Sports works by training the muscle group often overlooked by other sports preparation. Running, rowing, hiking, swimming, cycling, team sports and gym workouts become less difficult while recovery times shorten. In tests, rowing time trials improved by a margin of more than 60m in a 2000m race while cycling time trials over 40Km improved by 3 minutes! Between repeat sprints, recovery time was up to 7% faster and tests in laboratory conditions showed that stamina and endurance improved by a massive 30%! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1280&num=3 Breathing exercises for breathlessness. Breathing is essential for life and yet many people do not breathe correctly and can suffer great distress as a result. The main purpose of breathing is to absorb oxygen into the bloodstream. We also expel carbon dioxide with every out breath. Apart from lung and heart disease, poor breathing, inactivity, smoking, obesity or just getting older can cause breathlessness, the uncomfortable need to breathe and can be debilitating even for relatively minor exertions like washing, dressing or walking up the stairs. It is tempting to avoid these activities thinking it may be harmful. In fact the opposite is true. By avoiding activities and exertions you will become less and less fit and find you cannot do anything without becoming ever more breathless. Often too, breathlessness whilst uncomfortable and distressing is not harmful. And by exercising your breathing regularly with POWERbreathe Breathing Exercisers for a few minutes every day your respiratory muscles begin to strengthen, the quality and depth of your breathing improves markedly and usually within about four weeks, you notice an increase in the distances you walk, the length of time you walk and an increase in your levels of physical exertion without the need to stop and rest. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1281&num=3 Fade away your age spots.

At least 200 different cold viruses are out there waiting to ambush us! But there are ways to fight back! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1298&num=17 Breast Cancer Awareness. Regular self examination of your breasts as well as regular screening is important to detect any signs of the disease early. The BREAST SENSE SELF EXAMINATION PACK includes an educational DVD which can be viewed in the comfort and privacy of your home. The film advises women of the important steps and techniques involved in self examination and provides extensive factual information on breast cancer and its detection. The pack also contains a special reusable BREAST SENSE GLOVE as an additional aid to self examination. The easiest way to feel your breasts is when your skin is wet and slippery. The BREAST SENSE GLOVE is made from two sealed sheets of extremely thin but strong hypoallergenic polyurethane containing a silicone based solution. This greatly reduces friction and increases sensitivity by enabling the glove to glide more easily over the contours of the breast. The unique magnifying sensation of the glove enhances the ability to feel even the smallest changes or irregularities so that any differences can be noticed easily and then be referred to a medical practitioner. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat151/cat161/cat163/SALCURA_COLLOIDAL_SOLUTION_NATURAL_FOOT_THERAPY_SPRAY._Dr_Schieles_effective_natural_solution_for_smelly_feet._50ml/index.html Breast self-examination takes only 10 minutes a month and can save your life! BE BREAST AWARE Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in women today - at present over 40,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed every year in the UK. That's one woman every fifteen minutes! Early detection of breast cancer means a patient has more treatment choices and a much better chance of recovery. In some cases early detection can increase survival rates by up to 90%. Three steps for early detection of breast cancer are recommended by medical experts worldwide: * Monthly self-examination starting from the age of 20. * A clinical breast examination by a qualified physician every three years to age 40, and each year thereafter. * A mammogram at age 50 and every 3 years thereafter. BREAST AWARENESS KNOW YOURSELF BETTER In practice breast awareness means that you know your own breasts, and that you are used to their appearance and texture. Firstly, you should know what your breasts look like. It sounds obvious, but it's a good idea to get into the habit of looking at your breasts in the mirror from time to time. It is not at all unusual to have one breast noticeably larger than the other, with a bigger left breast being more common. Be aware how they move up as you raise your arms and so on - so that you know what's normal for you. Look for any changes in the shape or size of your breasts or nipples, in the position or colouring of the nipple, for dimpling, dents, scaliness or discolouration of the skin and any other changes including discharge from the nipple, rashes that don't seem to heal or veins that are more prominent than normal. Note any pain or sensation in the breast, armpit or arm that is new, particularly if only on one side or if it doesn't go away after a menstrual period. Secondly, you also need to know how your breasts feel. No one could be expected to find a possible new lump when feeling her breast for the first time. Most breasts feel a little lumpy especially during the few days before a period is due. After your period this lumpiness becomes less obvious or may well disappear altogether. Carry out your breast self-examination regularly - at least once a month. The best time to do it is within a week after the end of your menstrual period. This is the time when your breasts are least likely to be swollen or tender. If you stopped having periods or if your periods are not regular, check your breasts on the same day of each month. Examine your breasts first using your bare hand and then repeat the examination again with your BREAST SENSE GLOVE checking out for any new lump or thickening in one breast or armpit area. Encourage your friends and family to perform their regular breast checks. If you discover any changes or abnormalities during your breast self-examination, either done barehanded or using the BREAST SENSE GLOVE, it is important that you see your physician as soon as possible. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat151/cat161/cat163/SALCURA_NATURAL_FOOT_BALSAM._Dr_Schieles_deep_penetrating_and_rejuvenating_foot_balm_that_conditions_foot_skin_and_promotes_a_balanced_foot_microclimate_and_conditions_foot_skin_all_day_long._50ml/index.html The gentle, natural morning wake up call. Sunrise Alarm Clocks. If you dread getting out of bed on dark mornings and you feel decidedly lethargic and groggy, the answer is a SUNRISE ALARM BODYCLOCK. Our internal bodyclocks are biologically programmed to respond to light to awake at sunrise and sleep when its dark. However our normal sleep, wake and work routines particularly over the autumn, winter and spring dictate that we have to wake when its still dark. So when its still dark in the morning, whilst it may be time to rise to get to work on time, our bodyclocks are suggesting that we go back to sleep! No wonder our bodyclocks are thoroughly disrupted resulting in fatigue, low energy levels, irritability and moodiness, low concentration and alertness, low immunity and even low libido. SUNRISE ALARM CLOCKS are designed to mimic or simulate a sunrise with a gradually brightening integral light some 15 to 30 minutes before you need to wake up. As light falls on your shut eyes you begin to awaken slowly and gradually even before you are fully conscious of it. As the SUNRISE ALARM CLOCK light reaches its peak you become fully awake and alert yet relaxed, free of stresses and tensions, bright and positive and ready to welcome a new day. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1350&num=9 Seasonal Affective Disorder? Try some light therapy. Is it any wonder with autumn and winter approaching with days getting shorter and the nights longer we can feel as grey and gloomy as the weather outside? We feel starved of natural daylight and craving for bright sun. In fact often during winter as we wake up when its dark, travel to work when its dark, sit in an artificially lit office all day and return home when its dark we may never see the light of day! We can feel irritable, sluggish, moody, lethargic, unable to concentrate and many can also feel acutely depressed. But just 15 minutes of light therapy each morning with the LITEBOOK ELITE can make a dramatic difference to how you feel. Using revolutionary LED's that emit UV free bright white light the LITEBOOK ELITE is the safest, most effective and compact light therapy box made designed to deliver the optimum light wavelengths for maximum therapeutic benefit. So if you dread the approaching winter months get a LITEBOOK ELITE. Have it on in the morning for a few minutes as you sit in bed with a mug of coffee or tea or even while dressing. Let the healing light just wash over you and slowly and imperceptibly the clouds of depression and negative thoughts lift, your energy levels rise, you feel brighter and happier and ready to welcome on a new day! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1351&num=9 Natural light is best! In winter especially, we cant avoid using artificial lighting. However, most forms of artificial light are vastly inferior to natural light as they are biased to a particular colour range in the spectrum. Ordinary incandescent bulbs give off more red light than ordinary daylight. This makes them appear yellow when lit and makes the colours in the room more yellowy than normal. In fact most lights produce more infrared heat then they do light. Full Spectrum Bulbs closely resemble the balance of spectral light found in daylight. Apart from being a far better light to read or work by, the light can be immensely therapeutic improving mood, energy and well being as well as relieving stress and strain on the eyes. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1352 Talking Alarm Clock.

Tests conducted at the University of Ulster suggest that good bacteria may have an anti cancer effect in the bowel which limits the build up of genetic damage in the cells and stops them growing out of control. People taking probiotics have less DNA damage and a lower rate of cell proliferation in polyps biopsies taken from their colons. The scientists also found lower levels of chemicals associated with the cancer. Whilst the mechanics are not known or understood, theories suggest that these microbes either help stimulate the immune system to recognise and attack cancer cells or possibly that the bacteria cause the cancerous cells to destroy themselves. But be warned. The research also shows that up to 50% of all probiotic drinks do not contain either any of the proper bacteria or not enough of the proper bacteria declared on the label! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1357&num=2 Sunrise Alarm Clocks Alarm Clocks need'nt be alarming! Most of us are slaves to our alarm clocks. Americans recently voted alarm clocks one of the worlds most hated inventions second only to the mobile phone and its not difficult to understand why! But it seems that we have more reason to fear the alarm clock than to loathe it. For rather than just dragging us from our slumber each morning, ringing or buzzing alarm clocks could actually be bad for your health. You don't need to be a doctor to appreciate that the sudden shrill of an alarm clock could be bad for your heart. But scientists have now proved this is true. In a study conducted by the National Institute of Industrial Health in Japan participants who were suddenly forced awake had higher blood pressure and heart rate than those allowed to wake up in their own time. Dr Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre explains that subtle body changes that occur during sleep make us vulnerable in the early hours and an alarm clock sounding only exacerbates this. During the later part of the night, the body's general physiology is less well regulated. This means the fluctuations in blood pressure, heart rate and breathing are more extreme than usual. Also because you are lying relatively still, blood thickens up a bit more with a degree of blood clotting. 'The actual act of getting up can potentially cause problems as well, as there's usually a big surge in blood pressure to get going.' Add to all this the sudden ringing of an alarm and the body sometimes just cant cope. Alarms can also add to your overall stress levels. The sudden noise triggers the bodys protective 'fight or flight' response pumping up your adrenaline levels. Whilst this might be useful to get you to work on time, if this activated state persists over days, weeks or months, it can lead to chronic stress says Dr Mark Atkinson a GP who specializes in treating such illnesses. Stress contributes to high blood pressure, sleep problems and depression. If you are woken suddenly during the deep sleep stage your ability to think clearly is so badly effected that its like being drunk. We all sleep in stages or cycles each lasting roughly 90 minutes. During each stage we go through five different stages of sleep including light sleep, deep sleep during which the body restores itself and is difficult to wake and REM sleep when dreams mostly occur. Scientists have found that when people were woken during deep sleep this affected short term memory, cognitive abilities and even counting skills according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association earlier this year. Participants were operating at just 65% of their peak performance the equivalent of being drunk and the participants also performed worse than when they were deprived of sleep for 26 hours! Although serious effects had faded within the first ten minutes, some impairments were still detected for up to two hours after waking. The researchers said the results could have implications for fire fighters, doctors and emergency workers who need to function at optimum level immediately after awakening. Waking up naturally is far gentler on the body. Man was never meant to be woken abruptly in darkness by loud sudden noises. Rather our ancestors woke naturally and gently each day with the rising sun. A SUNRISE ALARM CLOCK imitates this, gradually brightening the bedroom until its time for you to wake up. And that's because not only does it provide the most natural and gentle silent wake up call but it programs our internal body clocks to move in harmony with our sleep and wake patterns resulting in better overall health and well being, more energy, stamina and endurance, less moodiness and irritability and less susceptibility to illness and disease. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1393&num=9 Zen Alarm Clocks.

If you must have an alarm try the most gentle the most peaceful and tranquil sounds you could imagine to wake up to! Just imagine waking up to the soft tinkling of a resonating Tibetan bell or gong with its complex resonace and layers of harmonics. Its long sustaining notes ringing and reverberating until they finally return to silence. The Tibetans have long regarded the sounds of soft resonating bells and gongs magical, almost heavenly, the sound of OM, that helps to awaken the divine that is innate within us and balance and harmonize the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies and a means of clearing and transmuting negative, discordant and stagnant energies from people and places. Either way, the ZEN ALARM CLOCK is the ultimate ZEN ESSENTIAL. Its sounds rippling and permeating through space, a magical heavenly wake up call with its balancing, purifying and healing vibrations, dislodging the negative energies, stimulating the positive as you wake in the morning and summoning your consciousness to the start of a wonderful day! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1394&num=2 Believe in yourself!

Stop Slouching! US Researchers have released a new study showing that a straight back can even help you get ahead of the competition! US Researchers have released a new study showing that a straight back can help you get ahead of the competition in the office or at a job interview. Posture is even more likely to have a bearing on behaviour than title or rank according to findings by the Kellogg School of Management at North Western University. 'So much of who we are in the world and how we act really comes from the way that we stand and present ourselves' said Professor Adam Galinsky, who led the study. He claimed the research could prove vital to people seeking jobs in a tough market. 'With 1.9 million new jobs on the horizon this year, our research suggests that you posture may be quite literally the way to put your best foot forward in a job interview' 'Standing straight is going to actually make you objectively perform probably better in the interview because youll say things with more authoritativeness, more confidence' 'What you are demonstrating to other people is confidence' he added. In an interview, good posture will not only convey confidence and leadership, it will also allow the person to think and act more powerfully, said the study.

Listen to your positive thoughts. YOU MAGAZINE. THE MAIL ON SUNDAY. Normandie Keith How would you like to live without fear, to be able to fully and completely express and release your emotions? I know I would. Recently I received the most incredible letter from a fantastic reader who told me about a product called INNER TALK which she says changed her life. Well how could I resist investigating it further? It transpires INNER TALK is a collection of CD's that are the latest in mind training technology. Each disc features soothing music but the magic part is that they also contain subliminal messages that can help change negative thought patterns. Many experts have said that what we believe in our subconscious is what affects who and what we are. That our self beliefs determine our future successes or failures even our sickness or health. How many times have we stopped ourselves from meeting our full potential by saying 'Im not good enough'? Ugh Think of all those missed opportunities! But with INNER TALK you can begin again and replace the old worn out beliefs with positive radiant ones that will make your dreams a reality and enable your confident self to emerge. And you don't need to actively listen to the CD's. They can be playing in the background or even while youre cooking, watching television or having a relaxing bath. After about two weeks you will begin to feel a shift in your consciousness and a gradual transformation occurring where old fears and ideas are replaced with positive thoughts. Life is an amazing journey and INNER TALK CD's will make yours a thrilling adventure! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat687/cat688/cat728/BAMBOO_BUDDIES._SHOE_ODOUR_NEUTRALISERS_WITH_NATURAL_BAMBOO_CHARCOAL._Collectable_characters_with_bamboo_charcoal_bag._Absorbs_bacteria,_neutralises_shoe_odour_and_freshens_up_shoes._One_size_fits_all./index.html Unlimited Personal Growth. Tapping into Subliminal Power. 'Accelerate and achieve your personal goals' Interview given by Dr Eldon Taylor Creator of Inner Talk. Question: What exactly do INNERTALK SUBLIMINAL CD's do to promote change? Answer: Its really simple. They change the way you talk to yourself. As you change your 'self talk' or 'inner talk' you change your expectations. As your expectations change, so does your experience. And as your experience changes, you reinforce new and heightened expectations. Question: Are you saying its an ongoing circular benefit? Answer: Absolutely. You start saying to yourself 'I can do this' and start acting in accordance with the newly primed and positive inner talk. Question: Self worth is fundamental to any goal. Isnt it? Answer: Yes. Very much so. So often people have an inner dialogue which says I didn't believe in myself enough to go for what I want. Therefore in all our programmes we include strong affirmations of self worth whether it is losing weight, passing exams, becoming a better athlete or making more money. What impedes achievement really are two things. Technical skill which can be acquired and self belief which can also be acquired. In our CD's we address both. For example, in losing weight, there are technical things to do so we have affirmations which say 'I drink water', 'I eat the right foods',. And we have affirmations addressing self belief which say 'I deserve it' and I can do it'. Question: Why have your CD's been called unsubliminal although they appear to be subliminal? Answer: Instead of burying the message, we actually mix them within the ocean of music in the audible range of hearing, in that sense they are not strictly speaking subliminal. We use something more like a shadowing technique. Occasionally, you may even hear voices coming through although the messages are so soft that you process them subconsciously rather than hearing them consciously. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat151/cat206/cat207/OREGON_SCIENTIFIC_RM818PU_RADIO_CONTROLLED_PROJECTION_CLOCK_WITH_OPTIONAL_VIBRATION_ALARM_INCLUDED._Titanium_finish./index.html The Step Challenge for 2008! Even if you have never quite managed to get fit and then keep fit to lose weight and keep the pounds off, a simple Step Counter to record your daily step count may be all that you need could put you on the path to success at last! Set yourself daily walking targets using the pedometer and aim to eventually try to reach 10,000 steps a day. It may seem like an enormous amount but you can achieve it by making quite small changes to your life such as walking to the shops instead of driving and taking the stairs instead of the lift. Its not about running the marathon or jogging everyday. Its more enjoyable! The pedometer or step counter is a simple gadget that you clip to your belt, directly above one knee to record the number of steps you take each day. It also measures movements you make in addition to walking such as going up and down the stairs or getting in and out of your car. This is useful because calorie burning can be accumulated this way too. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1651&num=3 In the winter months, my hands become sore and sensitive.

Often linked to stress poor diet or excess stomach acid recent research shows that the primary trigger might be the Bacterium Helicobacter Pylori (H.pylori). Mastic Gum, a resin produced by the Pistacia Lentiscus Tree (an evergreen shrub from the Pistachio Tree Family) has been used for a variety of gastric ailments in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries for at least 3,000 years. After centuries of use Mastic Gum is still used extensively today in Mediterranian, North African and Middle Eastern Countries with no side effects. Studies into Mastic Gum show the positive effects that it has on the Gastrointestinal Environment as well as powerful Anti Microbial effects against at least seven different strains of Helicobacter Pylori believed to be the main cause of Stomach Ulcers. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat4/cat40/cat190/MORGANS_EXCLUSIVE_HAIR_DARKENING_AND_CONDITIONING_SERUM_WITH_PANTHENOL._A_liquid_hair_colour_restorer_which_gradually_takes_away_grey,_creating_and_maintaining_dark_and_lustrous_hair._150ml/index.html The most gentle natural morning call. Sunrise Alarm Clocks. Picture this: Its time to get up. Your alarm bell rings or buzzes and you are rudely and abruptly woken from a deep and pleasant sleep. Your first reaction is to press the snooze button and roll over and just as you doze off, the alarm bell goes off again. By the end of that cycle your nerves are ragged and you wake up grumpy and on edge. Familiar story? Now try this for size: Some 30 minutes before you need to get up the SUNRISE ALARM CLOCK begins to glow, very dim at first and then, ever so gradually it brightens like a simulated sunrise. The photons of light falling on your shut eyes stirs your body to awaken. That's because since the dawn of man our bodyclocks are naturally conditioned to respond to light triggers to wake and sleep. As the light glow increases, so subconciously you begin to arouse from your sleep slowly and free of any stresses and tensions until the light is at its brightest and its time to fully awaken and welcome the start of a wonderful day. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1433&num=11 Silent Alarm Clocks Silence is golden! Silent Alarm Clocks. One of the ultimate oxymorons! A silent alarm clock, a paradox reduced to three words! But if silence is golden especially when you need to get up in the mornings just how can you wake without a buzzing or ringing alarm clock? The answer is a SUNRISE ALARM CLOCK and that's no paradox! SUNRISE ALARM CLOCKS will wake you, not with sound but with a gradually brightening light. That's because our bodies are naturally conditioned to waking up to the natural light of dawn and to sleeping when it gets dark. You make feel slightly cynical or skeptical about a gradually brightening light falling on your shut eyes to actually getting you out of bed especially when you have been used to the shock and awe of a shrill alarm clock. But not only does it get you up in the mornings gently and sweetly - a testament of the tens of thousands of delighted users all over the world but because it harmonises your internal bodyclock with your daily sleep and wake patterns you go through the day charged with greater energy, feeling happier and more positive, feeling a lot less irritable and moody and much less prone to stress and overeating. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1435&num=9 Cod Liver Oil may protect against depression Researchers from Norway have reported new evidence that Cod Liver Oils can help prevent depression. Maria Boroy Raeder MD of Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen Norway and colleagues analysed data from a study of almost 22,000 middle age and elderly men and women. Overall 3.6% of the sujjects has high levels of depressive symptoms. But on average, symptoms of depression were significantly lower amongst those who took Cod Liver Oil daily. Symptoms of depression affected only 2.5% of the people taking Cod Liver Oil compared with 3.8% in the rest of the group. In effect, people taking Cod Liver Oil were almost 30% less likely to be depressed. In addition, the prevalence of depression decreased as people took Cod Liver Oil for longer periods of time. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html Is your teenager a junk sleeper? Hi tech gadgets like computers and televisions in their bedrooms mean a huge number of teenagers are missing out on a good night's sleep according to recent research. An online poll of 1000 12-16 year olds carried out by the Sleep Council found that a third of teens were exhausted after getting just four to seven hours a night rather than the recommended eight hours. Almost a quarter said they fall asleep more than once a week weatching television, listening to music or using other electronic gadgets. 'What we are seeing is the emergence of junk sleep' explains Dr Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre. 'This kind of sleep is neither the length nor quality required to feed the brain with the rest it needs to perform properly.' So how do you get your teenager to switch off and snuggle down? 'Encourage regular exercise, suggest cutting back on caffeine and try to encourage a set 'Wind Down Routine'. The best 'Wind Down Routine' may be achieved with a Dawn Simulation Alarm Clock It simulates a sunset with gradually fading light and a sunrise with gradually brightening light, the most natural triggers for wake up and sleep. So when its time to go to bed and the main lights are switched off, the Dawn Simulation Alarm Clock is at full glow and gradually fades away completely to trigger the most natural start to a good nights sleep. And in the morning about 30 minutes before the set waking up time the Dawn Simulation Alarm Clock begins to glow from dark to full glow triggering a gentle natural awakening and the start to a wonderful new day. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1649&num=7 'How can we purify the air in our house?' 'Our home is on a busy main road and we are concerned about traffic pollution. What air filtration systems could we use to clean the air inside the house?' Ideally you want to consider a system with multi stages to not only remove airborne dust, particulates and allergens but also remove odours smoke, fumes and harmful volatile gases. In addition look for a three power levels, low power consumption and a quiet whisper fan. The result will be the cleanest, freshest, purest and healthiest air in your home free of airborne contaminants, irritants, fumes, allergens, odours and bacteria. You will feel better, sleep better, get fewer headaches and respiratory illnesses, wake up more refreshed, dust your home less and enjoy the simple pleasure of clean, pure air! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1645&num=3 Rise and Shine with Lumie Bodyclock If you can start your day feeling refreshed and full of energy, anything seems possible.

How can we prevent him from catching it?' Impetigo is an incredibly infectious skin infection that starts when a graze or bite gets infected the spreads by a child scratching. It first shows as a small scratch or an itchy patch usually on the face and develops a weeping blister with a scab on top. Tell your son not to scratch any scabs suck his fingers or pick his nose. Impress upon him the the importance of regular hand washing and make sure he has short, clean nails and that his personal hygiene is good, not always easy with 11 year old boys but well worth pursuing. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1648&num=6 Introducing a breakthrough for the immune system. BIOBRAN MGN-3 Developed and manufactured by Daiwa Pharmaceutical BIOBRAN MGN-3 is made using a unique process that breaks down or 'pre-digests' rice bran using enzymes from Shitake mushrooms. The resulting compound which contains Arabinoxylan as well as a blend of similar polysaccahrides has a unique molecular fingerprint that makes it many times more effective than any other immune system supplement by allowing us to optimise our own natural healing mechanisms. And leading researcher Mamdooh Ghoneum of Drew University in the US states that BIOBRAN MGN-3 is the most promising immune complex he has ever examined. How does BIOBRAN MGN-3 help the body to maintain a strong immune system? Our immune system is basically comprised of an army of a trillion white blood cells which travel around our system destroying millions of intruding microbes that penetrate the body every day as well as thousands of body cells that become genetically abnormal. The SAS of the immune system are the NK Cells, the Natural Killer Cells that comprisde around 15% of our white blood cells. Each NK cell can in its short lifetime kill up to 24 abnormal cells! But many factors can conspire to lower the activity of NK Cells including stress, diet, smoking, excess alcohol, pollution and drugs. BIOBRAN MGN-3 as part of a healthy diet gives our white blood cells the nutritional support necessary to carry out their vital role efficiently, helping to optimise our immune system. BIOBRAN MGN-3 maintains its effectivess even after a prolonged period of use and there is none of the usual drop off in effectiveness over time. BIOBRAN MGN-3 is also highly absorbable, completely non toxic, GMO free and contains no actual mushroom in the finished product which means it can be safely taken by those with mushroom intolerances. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1644&num=3 Are we born wired to become winners? The answer is decidedly NO! Yes there are lots of apparently lucky people and those for whom it seems have been dealt a poor hand by fickle fate. But as research psychologists increasingly say, we are all potential winners and we can make our own luck. Having a positive mental attitude can be a self fulfilling route to happiness and success whereas being negative can be spiral into losing, failure and loss of confidence. But the negative attitudes holding you back can be overcome. INNER TALK subliminal messaging CD's are the still small caring voices you yearn for, urging your subconcious to stir you into thinking more positively and to act more positively and confidently in whatever you do. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1456&num=2 The perfect morning start! What can you do to get ready in the morning and get your day off to a stress free start so you leave home to work cool, calm and collected? Now that clocks have been turned back, crawling out from under the duvet gets even harder and as winter looms and mornings get darker and colder, mood management becomes very important.

You can get your body into gear with a decent breakfast of slow release carbs like oatmeal porridge. * Finally, tickle your taste buds and charge your body with free radical busting antioxidants with a shot of the worlds most delicious QUEEN OF FRUITS MANGOSTEEN fruit juice cocktail. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1457&num=22 How quiet is your Air Purifier? Some Air Purifiers can be quite noisy as the fans draw in air through the fine filters to clean out contaminants from the air. Using the very latest Plasma and UV technology to ensure the very highest levels of air quality, the NSCESSITY PLASMA UV AIR PURIFIER AND IONISER WITH FAN is almost completely silent. Noise rating tests show that the NSCESSITY PLASMA UV AIR PURIFIER AND IONISER WITH FAN delivers an almost silent operation around an amazing 15 dB's! In comparison the human threshold of hearing is around 10 dB, rustling leaves generate 20 dB's and a quiet whisper around 30 dB's.

Vitamin D could lower the risk of Asthma in children by up to 40% according to a new report. Researchers say that lack of Vitamin D could be involved in the increase in Asthma and Allergies. They believe the increase in the two conditions has come at the same time as a decline in the exposure to the sun, the main source of Vitamin D. The theory is that as people have become more prosperous over the past 50 years more time is spent indoors and travelling in cars rather than walking, resulting in less exposure to sunlight. 'Coupled with inadequate intake from foods and supplements this then leads to Vitamin D deficiency particularly in pregnant women resulting in more Asthma and Allergy in their offspring' say researchers from Harvard University. 'Our studies show that higher Vitamin D intake by pregnant mothers reduces the Asthma risk by as much as 40% in children aged 3 - 5. They suggest that low levels of Vitamin D may affect the development of foetal lungs and immune system leading to a higher risk of Asthma and Allergies.' The researchers say that theory explains the geographic pattern for cases of Asthma and Allergies with a higher prevalence in Westernised Nations and in areas further away from the equator. They add 'We believe these patterns can be explained by a decrease in exposure to the sun and the limited sources of Vitamin D in the diet to compensate for the decrease in sun exposure leading to a Vitamin D deficiency.' 'Providing adequate Vitamin D supplementation in pregnancy may lead to significant increases Asthma incidence in young children.' More than 5 million people in the UK are being treated for Asthma and more than 15 bmillion people suffer with an allergy of some kind. Vitamin D is essential for the processing of Calcium. Unlike other Vitamins it can be made in our bodies as a result of exposure to sunlight. Low levels of Vitamin D have been also associated with Osteoporosis, Hypertension, Diabetes and Cancer. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat1/cat100/cat614/DECLANS_LUCKY_FINNIAN_MINIATURES._HAND_OF_FRIENDSHIP._UNIQUE_COLLECTABLE_CERAMIC_FIGURINE_WITH_A_SAYING_AND_ITS_OWN_PIECE_OF_AUTHENTIC_LEGENDARY_BLARNEY_LUCKSTONE._Gift_Boxed/index.html Supplements that may lower the chances of Dementia and Alzheimers by up to 60% Research published in the Journal of Neurology by French Scientists shows that a diet rich in Omega3 oils can lower the chances of Dementia by up to 60%. The study also found that the imbalances in our diets that mean we consume far too much Omega6 in spreads, processed foods and cooking oils can double the risk of Alzheimers say researchers. That's why its only supplementing the right kind of pure Omega3 oil such as Fish oil or Flaxseed oil rather than a mixture of Omega oils that will help keep your brain in gear. A separate US study looking at the effects of Beta Carotene has found that men taking Beta Carotene Supplements for 15 years or longer have better functioning memory and other brain skills. In addition there is increasing evidence to show that Antioxidants which mop up harmful naturally produced chemicals produced in the body can stave off diseases of ageing such as Alzheimers. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1640&num=27 Don't let hair loss ruin your confidence Hair loss can be a soul destroying experience for women.

The average mattress contains more than 10,000 dust mites and over 2 million dust mite droppings! Dust mites are tiny microscopic mites virtually invisible to the human eye and thrive in the warm, humid conditions found in beds and in upholstered furniture, carpets and soft furnishings. Dust mites feed off dead microscopic human and pet skin cells It is not the mite itself that causes problems but their faecal droppings, which contain an allergen known as DerP1. The droppings are 4-20 microns in size, but they can crumble into fragments of 1-3 microns, with the tiniest fragments just 0.5 micros across. During their three month life span each dust mite lays 20-40 eggs and produces up to 2000 droppings. With up to 1,000 individual mites in just one gram of dust , this means that just the average mattress contains more than 10,000 dust mites and perhaps in excess of two million droppings. Dust mite allergy can develop at any age. The most common symptoms resulting from house dust mite allergy are nasal symptoms, including sneezing, wheezing, dry persistent cough, tightness of breath and asthma, runny nose, rhinitis hay fever, as well as sinusitis, with related headaches and ear blockages. Eczema and Dermatitis are also frequently caused by house dust mites and some people sensitive to dust mites can also experience joint pain, swelling of tissues, and muscle aches. TOTAL HYGIENE DM.1 is an environmentally friendly biodegradeable DUAL ACTION spray that in independent testing has proven to remove 99% of dust mite colonies and bacteria and provide long lasting protection up to six months against reinfestation.

It puts your body out of alignment and shortens muscles that should be lengthened and supple. These tightened muscles make it harder to maintain correct posture and so the cycle goes on. Check your posture by standing with your feet apart hip wide, your kness soft and your arms relaxed. Your shoulders should be back and down, your navel pulled in towards your spine and your pelvis straight. Imagine that you are being lengthened through the crown of your head.

Said David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School in Boston, who led the study 'We found this chemical that can extend the life span of every organism we give it to'. Writing in the Journal Nature, Sinclair and colleagues at the University of Connecticut and Brown University in Rhode Island said they were looking for a compound that would affect the body the way calorie restriction did. Scientists have learned molecules called Sir2-like proteins or sirtuins, found in creatures ranging from bacteria to humans, are involved in the well known anti-aging effects resulting from calorie restriction. 'We were looking for molecules that would stick to and activate this sirtuin protein' Sinclair said. 'When I realised it was a molecule from red wine I almost fell out of my seat. This is the molecule people suspect is behind the health benefits of red wine. It's uncanny.' Sinclair first reported Resveratrol extended the life of yeast fruit flies and tiny worms both of which share many basic biologic processes with humans. 'If you give these compounds to these animals they are healthier and longer-lived, and just as active. They can eat as much as they like and they live considerably longer' said Sinclair. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat5/cat204/cat410/ULTRASONIC_DUST_MITE_CONTROLLER._The_scientifically_and_clinically_proven_breakthrough_in_the_control_of_dust_mites.__Fast,_effective_chemical_free_system_to_fight_dust_mites_everywhere_in_a_room._Shows_results_in_the_first_few_days./index.html How sunlight may prevent Multiple Sclerosis MS Spending more time exposed to natural daylight may reduce the likelihood of developing Multiple Sclerosis MS in later life, a disease forwhich there is no known cure. Three times more women are affected than men. Scientists in California studied 70 pairs of twins one of whom had MS and the other not. When they analysed their childhood exposure to the suns rays they found that those who spent more time outdoors were up to 40% less likely to develop the incurable condition in later life. The findings published in the Journal of Neurology support earlier evidence that sunshine may help prevent the wasting disease. It remains unclear how the suns rays might work but one theory is that they help keep the immune system in check possibly by stimulating production of Vitamin D. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1629&num=16 Do you have a problem with thread veins?

Plant Sterols are thought to reduce cholesterol levels by inhibiting the absorption of dietary cholesterol and the reabsorption of endogenous cholesterol from the gastrointestinal tract. The consequent excretion of cholesterol leads to decreased serum levels of this cholesterol without affecting absorption of bile acids. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1627&num=3 Powerbreathe Wellness helps you breathe more easily Amongst the distressing symptoms of Chronic Bronchitis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD caused mainly by smoking and Emphysema are shortness of breath and shallow breathing with generally only the top part of the lungs used.

If so you could benefit from FERZYM PROBIOTICS. Stress stomachs can contribute to the development of Irritable Bowel Syndrome as well as exacerbating the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease such as Ulcerative Colitis and Crohns disease. However, a study published in the Medical Magazine Gut, has shown that in experiments on rats, probiotics literally compete for space with harmful bacteria and dampen down inflammatory responses which means it can ease stomach problems that are caused by stress. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1625&num=2 COLD, ACHING HANDS?

US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REPORT Pollution levels can be 2 to 5 times higher at home than outside! We spend 90% of our time indoors, and 2/3rds of that at home. And most of us don’t realise the often shocking levels of pollutants in the air at home especially in towns and cities. Central heating, airtight homes, carpets, cleaning chemicals all create a very different soup of pollutants at home that's potentially just as damaging as the air pollution outside. But with indoor air pollution, there is something positive that you can do about it! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1622&num=5 Research shows that the physiological and psychological effects of stress could be reduced by a diet rich in oily fish and exercise Extensively documented and proven, omega3 rich fish oil is a vital nutrient to help maintain a healthy heart and circulation, healthy cholesterol levels, healthy skin, nerves, cells, eye membranes and joints, a strong immune system and healthy brain development and function. But recent research has found that it also can help reduce the physiological and psychological effects of chronic stress that increases vulnerability to disease and weakens the immune system. Made to pharmaceutical control standards of purity and quality BIO FISH OIL 1000mg from Pharma Nord is derived from oily fish sourced only from the clean waters of the Northern Atlantic and South East Pacific and contain 1000 mg of high purity fish oil made to pharmaceutical control standards and thoroughly purified and screened for environmental pollutants such as heavy metals and pesticides. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1623&num=2 More than 31 million prescriptions for antidepressants were issued in 2006- a 6% rise on the year before.. In particular prescriptions for a group of drugs know as SSRIs, which include Prozac, rose by 10% last year from 14.7m to 16.2m, and there have been fears that the drugs are linked to suicidal thoughts and self-harm in some cases. This depressing news appears at a time when Mind the mental health charity is urging people to find alternative methods of dealing with depressions such as ecotherapy - getting outdoors and getting active in a green environment- guided self-help or psychological therapies. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1617&num=10 If you suffer from piles with symptoms like itching, with occasional bleeding try Ground Flax Seed.

Help for the 'good guy' bacteria in the fight against gum disease. The mouth contains both beneficial and potentially harmful bacteria. The beneficial bacteria typically rely on Coenzyme Q10 also known as Ubiquinone for their energy provision whilst the harmful bacteria typically rely on Vitamin K for their energy supply. Supplementation with Coenzyme Q10 can alter the balance of oral bacteria in favour of beneficial organisms whilst providing a less favourable environment for the bacteria responsible for gum disease. Supplementation with Coenzyme Q10 is particularly in maintaining healthy Coenzyme Q10 levels in the tooth pockets of the gums where the bacteria responsible for plaque formation and gum disease may congregate. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1616&num=2 Healthy breathing.

Improves coordination. To belly dance you need to move various muscles or muscle groups independently. This requires good neuro muscular (nerve to muscle) coordination as well as muscular control. Firms tummy muscles. Belly dance tones the deep abdominal or 'core' muscles that help flatten the tummy. According to research, it also helps the digestive ystem. Strengthens the pelvic floor. Research shows that belly dancing improves pelvic floor tone helping women prepare for childbirth. It can also alleviate menstrual cramps. Improves posture. Belly dancing mobilises and strengthens the lower back muscles, improving posture and flexibility and alleviating or preventing back pain. Increases flexibility. Despite its name, belly dancing is all about the hips not the belly. You will develop flexibility and strength in the largest joint in the body http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1606&num=2 The hula hoop had its heyday during the 50s, although it dates back to ancient Egypt, where hoops were made from grapevines or stiff grasses. These days, many hoopers make their own from polyethylene tubing and the activity influences a range of exercise classes, among them Hulaerobics, a new body toning class in which you learn to hoop on your torso, arms and legs. Hoop dance classes are more aerobic and Beyonce is said to be a huge fan. What the expert says ... Christabel Zamor (hoopgirl.com) is the pioneer of the hoopdance movement, and started Hulaerobics in the UK through Virgin Active health clubs (virginactive.co.uk). Start with power Wind up your hoop fully to one side and give it a firm, fast push on an even plane, then immediately start moving. If you start off with a weak or wobbly push, you will not gain enough momentum to keep the hoop going. Move in the right direction Push hips back and forth and avoid circular gyration. Build core stability and strength by pushing your belly forwards when the hoop lands on it, and pulling away with your lower back when you feel it land there. Be instinctive Try not to think too much about your movements. It's more about sensation - be aware of where the hoop lands and move in response. Use your hands, arms, shoulders, legs and feet. Avoid looking down and holding limbs rigid. Instead, open your chest, extend and dance. Save the hoop at all costs Recover the falling hoop by pumping your hips faster to pop it back up. You can also squat and shimmy to lift it on to your waist. Try different movements to keep the hoop moving - your creativity can build even more dexterity. Balance Distribute the weight evenly on each part of each foot. Try not to rock, though; instead, press the ball and heel of each foot down firmly to activate your leg muscles, which will propel your hips. Breathe Remember to breathe deeply so that your muscles - including those in your face - will relax, and your shoulders will drop down. It's impossible to hula hoop well when your body is stiff and tense. Stand tall Keep your spine elongated and your head high. And don't slouch. The hoop will reflect your posture, so if it slopes to one side, you can right it by leaning in the opposite direction. Remember to look ahead. Recruit friends Hula hooping is a sociable activity. Get friends to come along to a class so that you have more encouragement to stick with the new exercise. Getting started No previous experience is necessary. Hulaerobic classes are run in Virgin Active gyms nationwide and they will provide you with a hoop. Each 30- to 60-minute class has a warm-up and a cardio section incorporating a range of body moves, including limboing, jumping and spinning the hoop to improve stamina. There is also a toning section for a complete body workout. Pick up more advice from the online magazine, hooping.org, which features plenty of practical tips, advice on how to make your own hoop and tips on starting a 'hoop' group with friends. There aren't many books on the subject, but if you can get hold of a copy, you can read about how to perfect hula tricks in the American book, Hoop-La!: The Ultimate Book of Hoop Tricks, by Kari James. The gear The hoops used in classes today are much bigger and more weighted than the ones we played with as children; they move more slowly, too, which makes keeping them up much easier. Make sure you choose the right size hula hoop for you by standing with a hoop in front of you - the general rule is that it should be between stomach and nipple height. Needless to say, the bigger you are, the bigger your hoop should be. Which is no bad thing, because larger hoops rotate more slowly than smaller ones, which makes it easier to get started. However, smaller hoops, though more challenging, are better for doing tricks and for exercising. You can buy your own hoop from toy shops nationwide and from Selfridges (selfridges.co.uk), or go to gaiam.co.uk for foam-covered weighted hoops (0.974kg) that unclip for storage or travel; Hoopguy.com also offers a range of basic and aluminium hoops, as well as 'bespoke' ones made to your design. Prices start from pounds 18, including p&p. It's important what you wear, too, because the hoop may slip on clothing and so bruise the hips. The most practical outfit is a pair of cotton tracksuit bottoms (without chunky waistbands) - Sweaty Betty (sweatybetty.com) is probably the best brand, and you'll look the part in them, too. Sheactive (sheactive.com) also has a good selection. Avoid baggy tops and T-shirts - snug-fitting, smooth lines are better and less likely to knock the hoop off course. Some hoopers like to go barefoot, but to protect toes from painful knocks, it's best to wear socks and trainers. Upload hula hoop videos from Heart FM (heartfm.co.uk). A variety of DVDs are available, among them Heart Hulaerobics, featuring Christabel Zamor. Text 'Hula' to 63456, and Heart FM will send a link allowing you to download mini workouts and even hula ringtones. The downside Beginner's bruising A common complaint when the hoop catches on the hip bone. The only way to avoid it is to move your hips back and forth faster to keep the hoop up around the waist and off the hip bone. Requires patience The coordination needed to balance the hoop with your body takes time and skill. It won't bring instant pleasure, but once you've mastered the basics, you can progress to better tricks. Can be embarrassing The toughest part when you first join a class is learning to let go: try not to be self-conscious about gyrating your hips and dropping your hoop. Benefits Lifts the spirits A study in a psychiatry journal found that people with depression who regularly went to aerobics experienced significant improvements in their wellbeing compared with those on medication. Improves posture Hooping helps to improve body alignment and promotes good posture in the upper body. Eats up calories One minute of hooping burns as many calories as running an eight-minute mile or doing a high-impact aerobics class. Helps to trim the waist Hooping is one of the few activities that targets your midriff. With circular trunk movements, it focuses on the abdominal muscles, hips and waistline. Firms the thighs A variety of leg exercises in hooping improves muscle tone. And a combination of low- and high-intensity resistance exercises gives optimum strength in the quadriceps and hamstrings. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1610 No pollen, no reaction . Natural Lifestyle May 2007. Organic Haymax is a new, very effective, drug-free pollen barrier for hay fever sufferers. Winner of the best organic product award at the Natural Trade Show 2006, Haymax is a balm which you apply to the base of the nostrils. It works by trapping the pollen before it gets into the body. No pollen – no reaction. It’s a very simple solution, and it works! No drugs, no reported side effects – great for children, pregnant and breast feeding women – and anyone else who’s had enough of hay fever. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1605&num=2 Hayfever and Bio Pycnogenol. Many people who suffer with seasonally related streaming eyes, sore and runny nose reported a real benefit taking Bio Pycnogenol last year. A report published in the Journal of Phytotherapy Research shows that Pycnogenol, the extract of French Maritime Pine Bark can relieve the symptoms of hay fever by inhibiting the release of histamine. Histamines are part of the body's immune system and are released from mast cells in the body in response to perceived threats.However the body is often guilty of unecessary histamine release which causes the irritation in allergies such as hay fever and sinusitis. Recommended usage of Bio Pycnogenol 40mg for Hayfever. Take 2 tablets twice a day for the first two weeks and then reduce to 2 tablets a day. This allows a high level of Pycnogenol into the body to build up the protective effect against the release of histamines. Price comparisons show Bio Pycnogenol to be the BEST VALUE for money when compared with all other major brands. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html DONT SQUINT AT THE SMALL PRINT!

ONE in four people risk strokes due to undiag-nosed high blood pressure. The Stroke Association examined blood pressure readings for 19,318 people across the UK from 2005. In the South West, almost 30 per cent were unaware they had high blood pressure, closely followed by East Anglia and the Home Counties. At the bottom of the table was the North East, on 18 per cent. The charity urged people to get tested to avoid becoming victim 'to the UK's third biggest killer'. Director Joe Korner said: 'Every five minutes someone in the UK has a stroke, but over 40 per cent of these could be prevented by the control of high blood pressure.' It has joined with Rotary to launch testing days across England. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1599&num=6 Know your blood pressure. The Stroke Association and Rotary International of Great Britain and Ireland (RIBI) have now worked together for four years on the 'Know your Blood Pressure' campaign. In 2006 around 400 blood pressure testing events took place on 7 and 8 April. Thousands of people had their blood pressure checked, and a significant number discovered that their readings were above the normal range. This, once again, underlines the importance of these events in raising awareness of high blood pressure, and how it can significantly increase the risk of having a stroke. High blood pressure affects one in three adults in the UK, yet a third don't even know they have it because they never get their blood pressure checked and there are no obvious symptoms. Home monitor units not only help those already diagnosed with high blood pressure, but can also be beneficial to people suffering from 'white-coat syndrome' — whose blood pressure rises as soon as they see a doctor! — and those who simply want to take more control of their health. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1600&num=5 Cool Down, Relax and Sleep Well with the Chillow A unique, well made product with a multitude of benefits Chillow helps you keep cool throughout the day and night and can be used with your existing pillow to help you get a better quality of sleep.

Scientists have found a novel way of eliminating dust mites that are responsible for trigger allergies in millions of people. Daily Mail Tuesday 27th March 2007. They have developed a tiny device that emits ultrasound waves into a room, causing the microscopic creatures to die. The breakthrough was discovered by a team developing a way to tackle malaria-spreading mosquitoes. Using ultrasound on the mosquitoes was only partially effective, but researchers who suffered from dust allergies started to report an improvement in their symptoms while testing the equipment. Irish company Drontek then switched its research to finding out if the high-level sound waves were killing the dust mites. People with conditions such as hay fever and asthma are extremely susceptible to dust mites, which feed on shed human skin and are most prolific in the bedroom. The mites' faeces, which contain the allergen, are breathed in causing shortness of breath and wheezing in allergy sufferers. When they were exposed to ultrasound, mite numbers fell by several hundred thousand – about 20 per cent – in less than a month. After six months they reduced by 60 per cent. ‘We don't think the ultrasound is killing them but we think that the sound waves are putting them off their food, which has a knock-on-effect on their sex lives, meaning that fewer are born,' says John Power, of Drontek. 'In most bedrooms there are many millions of dust mites, so if you can get the colony down to just a few thousand that can have an enormous impact on patients with conditions such as asthma.' Around one in three of the population is affected by allergies at some point – many directly attributed to the dust mite. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html Not getting enough sleep?

Pycnogenols are potent antioxidants with an antioxidant activity approximately FIFTY times that of Vitamin C. Because of the chemical structure of Pycnogenol, they can be incorporated into and protect both the aqueous (cytoplasmic) and lipid (cell membrane) phases of cells from damage by free radicals. Pycnogenols inhibit the degradation of collagen which is the substance responsible for maintaining the integrity of tendons, ligaments and cartilage as well as providing the support structure for skin and blood vessels. Pycnogenols decrease capillary permeability and fragility and inhibit the development of venous insufficiency, varicose veins and diabetic retinopathy. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html CREATE THE PERFECT ATMOSPHERE IN YOUR HOME Did you know that on average the air quality INSIDE your home may be 5 times - up to 20 times more polluted than the air outside with airborne dust, chemical pollutants, microscopic carpet and textile fibres, cooking residues, pet dander, pollen, dust mites, mildew, plant and mould spores.

Supporting joint mobility and tissue renewal. Repeated lifelong use is damaging to joints. This need not be running or severe exercise. Just climbing stairs or even everyday activities gradually take their toll with time. Most long term damage occurs when the lubricating synovial fluids within the joint become thin and watery, usually due to inadequate supply of the basic materials that make up the synovial fluid. As the fluid thins, the cartilage wears down. This contrasts with the situation in healthy joints where the synovial fluid is jelly like, able to offer greater support and absorb impact. Scientific studies have revealed that Glucosamine when taken as a nutritional supplement is well absorbed by the gut, passing to all tissues including joint cartilage, working to help normalise cartilage production and maintain structural integrity. Research has also revealed that after oral ingestion, Chondroitin is absorbed into bloodstream and retained by the connective tissues. Chondroitin binds with water and confers a shock absorbing or cushioning effect within the joint space. Taking a good Glucosamine and Chondroitin Supplement is strongly recommended for joint sufferers or for anyone wishing to enhance the protection of their joints from long term damage and deterioration. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html BREATHE AIR REVITALISER.

A daily dose of vitamin D is being used to protect knees affected by osteoarthritis. Daily Mail Tuesday March 20th 2007. Doctors involved in a clinical trial believe the vitamin may prevent or slow the breakdown of cartilage, the protective inner lining of joints that becomes damaged by the disease, resulting in pain and inflammation. Previous research has shown people with severe arthritis of the knee have lower levels of vitamin D. The 140 patients involved in the new trial, aged 49 and over, will be given either 50mg of vitamin D a day or a placebo over two years. During and after the trial, cartilage loss will be measured, as well as levels of pain and movement. ‘There is evidence that vitamin D supplementation, a simple and cheap intervention, may prove useful in slowing the progression of osteoarthritis,’ say researchers leading the trial at the New England Medical Centre, in the U.S. More than seven million people in Britain have long-term health problems linked to arthritis. The Arthritis Research Campaign estimates that more than 550,000 men and women have evidence of moderate to severe osteoarthritis of the knee. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html The easy way to Power Nap..

A compound found in fish is being investigated as a way of slowing down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Daily Mail Tuesday March 20th 2007. A number of studies have shown a reduced risk of Alzheimer's among people who eat large amounts of fish. Many of the health benefits of fish are attributed to their omega-3 fatty acids, particularly the fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (or DHA). One study showed it protected against damage to the areas where brain cells communicate and enabled mice to perform better in memory tests. In a new trial, 400 men and women with mild to moderate forms of the disease will be given 2g DHA (in the form of four capsules) once a day for 18 months. Researchers believe it may work in number of ways, including protecting nerve cells and working as an antioxidant. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1582&num=4 Sitting at your desk for too many hours could put you at risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Went out last night and we drank - how much???? Heres is some latest research that you might need to consider to moderate your drinking. Researchers followed 39,876 women during a period of ten years. 'Even a single alcoholic drink daily can increase the risk of developing aggressive forms of breast cancer by 9%.' 'Consuming just over two drinks daily may increase the risk by 32%' says Dr Shumin Zhang of the Harvard Medical School. 'Moderate alcohol consumption increases your risk of breast cancer so you should think about the risks' Dr Zhang said. Interestingly, beer, spirits and white wine all gave increased risk, but red wine did not. Dr Zhang said 'It may be that chemicals in red wine counteract the harmful effects of alcohol.' http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html Effective nutritional support for Osteoporosis. A key mineral in the fight against Osteoporosis is Calcium. But many other nutrients are equally crucial for healthy bones and these include Magnesium, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc and Boron. Magnesium helps to metabolise Calcium and Vitamin C and converts Vitamin D to the active form necessary to ensure that Calcium is efficiently absorbed. It is also essential for the normal function of the parathyroid hormone, one of the most important 'bone hormones'. Vitamin C is vitally important in the manufacture of Collagen a 'cement' that holds the bone matrix together. In the digestive system, Vitamin D is responsible for Calcium absorption, it transports Calcium across the wall of the intestines and helps to move both Calcium and Phosphorus into the bones. Boron is also an important mineral in relation to Osteoporosis as it plays a crucial part in the conversion of Vitamin D into its active form which in turn is necessary for Calcium absorption. Zinc is needed too for the proper formation of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Osteoporosis is a preventable illness that requires a multi disciplinary approach, looking at lifestyle such as smoking, yo yo dieting, lack of exercise, diet as well as supplements. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1577&num=7 Do you have to control your sugar intake?

Switching to a high protein, low carbohydrate diet can lead to significant improvements in blood sugar. Switching to a high protein, low carbohydrate diet can lead to significant improvements in blood sugar according to a study of eight men with untreated type 2 diabetes. The diet was designed to contain only 10% fat. Mary C Gannon PhD of the Veterans Administration Medical Center Minneapolis asked the eight men to follow a high protein low carb diet for five weeks. After five more weeks they were switched to a more conventional high carb low protein diet. The carb:protein ratio in the high protein diet was 20:30:50. In the more conventional diet it was 55:15:30. Overall, the high protein diet led to a 36% reduction of blood sugar levels over 24 hours compared with the more conventional diet. In addition, levels of glycated haemoglobin decreased by around 22% from 9.8 to 7.6. By the end of the five week high protein diet, the subjects' glycated haemoglobin levels were still declining and Gannon projected that the final level would be around 5.4 almost half the level at the start of the study. She wrote that this type of high protein low carb diet could be a patient empowering way to ameliorate hyper glycemia without pharmacological intervention. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1575&num=3 Missing breakfast leads to cholesterol level rise. Missing breakfast has been shown to raise cholesterol levels in a small study at the University of Nottingham. The study also found that women tend to eat more calories during the day if they had skipped breakfast, with implications for weight gain if they continued to skip breakfast over the long term. Ten healthy women of normal weight were asked to eat bran flakes with low fat milk before 8am for two weeks followed by normal mealtimes. They were later asked to eat breakfast at midday for two weeks. Cholesterol levels were found to be higher after skipping breakfast and insulin levels lower. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1576&num=6 Researchers report relatively high incidence of coeliac disease in osteoporosis. A relatively high percentage of people with osteoporosis have undiagnosed coeliac disease which can interfere with their absorption of calcium and Vitamin D. William F Stensom MD of the Washington University School of Medicine evaluated 266 patients with osteoporosis and 574 without the disease. About 20% of each group tested positive for IgA or IgG antigliadin antibodies. However, when these patients underwent further screening with an intestinal biopsy, nine of those with osteoporosis were confirmed to have celiac disease compared with only one person in the non osteoporosis group. These numbers translated to 3.4% of the osteoporosis group and 0.2% of the non osteoporosis group. 'The prevalence of celiac disease in osteoporosis is high enough to justify a recommendation for serologic screen of all patients with osteoporosis.' Stenson wrote. Treating the patients with celiac disease by recommending a gluten free diet resulted in improved bone mineral density after a year. 'The improvement in bone mineral density for celiac disease patients on the gluten free diet was greater than expected for osteoporotic patients receiving standard therapy.' Stenson added. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html Sunbrellas natural suncare protection by Jason. Complete system of sun care products ranging from SPF 20 to 46.

A clinical trial with 140 people has been launched looking at the effects of Vitamin supplements over a two year period. Researchers say Vitamin D could prove useful in slowing the progression of the disease. 'Even if only modestly effective, it could have considerable impact in terms of reducing the burden of osteoarthritis' they say. In the trial at Tufts University and New England Medical Centre in the US, patients will get either 2000 international units a day of the Vitamin or a placebo. Research has suggested low blood levels of the Vitamin may be associated with more wear and tear in the joint cartilage at the hip and knee, leading to a faster progression of the disease. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html Persistent cough?

Aromatherapy really is good for your health! According to a study by Japanese scientists, sniffing Lavender or Rosemary oil for just five minutes a day can reduce levels of a harmful hormone called cortisol. It is known to cause oxidative stress, a destructive process that damages healthy cells. In the latest study, researchers at Meikal University, Japan recruited 22 healthy volunteers and took saliva samples to test for a range of substances including cortisol. Each one had to spend five minutes inhalaing lavender or rosemary oil before the tests were repeated. The results in the Journal of Psychiatry Research showed a sharp drop in cortisol levels after sniffing the oil. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1565&num=8 A dry scalp needs a gentle remedy. At this time of the year the scalp can become dry and flaky. The effects of cold weather and central heating can disrupt the moisture balance of the scalp which can become sensitive, dehydrated, and worst of all, itchy which in turn can cause unsightly and embarrassing flakes. At the first sign of a small patch of dry skin on the shoulder its natural to assume that this is dandruff but that is not necessarily the case it may be simply a dry scalp. Dandruff which is the shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp at an excessive rate, causes large yellowish flakes to fall, the result of a sebum imbalance. What you may be experiencing instead is an effect of environmental conditions that cause the skin on the scalp to dry out and as a result smaller white flakes to fall. Developed by world renowned Professor Jan Wadstein MD PhD Associate Professor Lund Universty Sweden, NOURELLA Dermanova SCALP RELIEF SHAMPOO is one of the most advanced scalp relief shampoos developed for the treatment and care of people with sensitive, dry, flaky and itchy scalps and prone to scalp eczema, dermatisis and psoriasis. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1561&num=3 Tocotrienols. From the Vitamin E Family. Much more than antioxidants. Tocotrienols are part of the Vitamin E family, a natural more potent Vitamin E than Tocopherols. The antioxidant activity of Tocotrienols is based on the ease at which the hydroxyl group donates its electron to neutralise highly reactive free radicals making them one of the most potent naturally occuring antioxidants. Tocotrienols, with their unsaturated side chain, pass through the membrane bi-layer mainly made up of unsaturated fatty acid, more efficiently compared to the all saturated Tocopherol. Most edible oils and food contain Tocopherols but virtually no Tocotrienols. That is because Tocotrienols only occur at very low levels in nature and due to these minute levels, it is practically impossible to get the amount of Tocotrienols studies suggest may have a beneficial effect, from diet alone. In addition to its powerful anti oxidant properties, Tocotrienols have profound benefits on heart health and circulation. Tocotrienols can help reverse blockage of the carotid artery so reducing the risk of stroke and arteriosclerosis, reduce the production of total serum cholesterols, inhibit the enzyme HMG-Co A Reductase in the liver that is responsible for the production of cholesterols, inhibit platelet aggregation, help prevent increases in blood pressure and enhance the total antioxidant status in plasma and blood vessels. Recent studies have also shown that Tocotrienols especially delta and gamma tocotrienols have also been shown to inhibit certain type of cancers especially human breast cancer cells. Tocotrienols have also been shown by the University of California, Berkeley to be effective in preventing protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation after strenuous exercise. Athletes especially body builders and sprinters generate tremendous amount of free radicals in their body. As a highly potent antioxidant and Vitamin E, Tocotrienols help protect athletes and body builders against protein and lipid peroxidation. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html A proven, effective, non drug approach to lowering blood pressure. RESPeRATE. Its about getting and keeping your blood pressure under control. Keeping your blood pressure under control isn’t easy. According to the American Heart Association, over 70% of high blood pressure patients don’t have their condition under control. For some people, a healthier diet exercise and medication work. But for others that’s still not enough. Now with RESPeRATE you can do more. Many hypertension specialists around the world are using RESPeRATE as part of an overall treatment plan for lowering blood pressure, based not only on published, peer reviewed clinical trials but on personal experience with their own patients. 'Our clinical study concluded that RESPeRATE is easy to use, did not have any side effects and delivered a significant blood pressure reduction'.Dr William Elliott, Rush University Medical Centre.

Several medical articles have reported benefits from high dose Coenzyme Q10 CoQ10 in the treatment of Ataxia, a neurological disease characterised by the inability to coordinate muscular movements. Spanish researchers described the case of a 12 year old girl with Ataxia and Cerebellar Atrophy, the latter a degeneration of part of the brain. She was found to have decreased activity in mitochondrial cellular activities involving CoQ10. Treatment consisted of 2,500mg of CoQ10 daily, divided into three daily doses. After three months of supplementation, researchers noted improvements in movement and fine motor activities such as handwriting. The CoQ10 dosage was reduced to 1,500 mg daily. After 16 months of supplementation, the girl was able to walk without aid and signs of Cerebellar Atrophy disappeared. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1558&num=4 Inhibit DHT Hair Loss with Nourkrin Man Hair Loss Supplement.

It also improves blood circulation and nutrient supply' http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1555&num=11 Scientists say that an afternoon nap fends off heart disease. But falling asleep is not so easy…… We all know that a good snooze in the afternoon can do wonders for your health. According to a study by scientists, people who take a snooze in the afternoon are far less likely to suffer heart attacks and other stress related diseases. And afternoon snoozers are better balanced, more cheerful, more creative and much more productive. By snooze, scientists mean not simply a five minute shut eye but a serious sleep. But very few of us have the ability to nod off and fall asleep straight away and in any circumstances unlike Sir Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher and the Duke of Wellington who reputedly could fall asleep even in the middle of a battle! That’s because despite stopping work you are still thinking, worrying your mind buzzing and consciously processing thoughts. Its difficult enough to wind down let alone switch off to go to sleep. There are ways in which sleep can be induced naturally for those to whom sleep doesn’t come easily. One way is with meditation. But meditation does take practise and concentration, and is difficult to do when your mind is racing and you need to sleep. The GLO TO SLEEP is a SLEEP INDUCING SLEEP MASK based on classic meditation techniques, designed to create a powerful mind clearing and focusing effect allowing you to relax quickly so you can fall asleep. To use it, you hold the inside of the GLO TO SLEEP near a light source for about 30 seconds. The points inside the mask will glow blue. Then you put on your GLO TO SLEEP SLEEP MASK. As you look up at a glowing point in the mask and breathe deeply and evenly, you feel your thoughts slowing and your mind clearing, your body relaxing and your arms, legs and eyelids feeling heavier. What happens next is what many GLO TO SLEEP users find so amazing. The transition from consciously looking at the points of GLO to the first stage of sleep often seems instantaneous. Looking up at the points of GLO will be the last thing you will remember when you awake……. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat151/cat206/cat611/BAMBOO_ART_BAMBOO_AND_COCONUT_BEACH_SURF_STYLE_EARTH_BEAD_NECKLACE_AND_BRACELET_SET._Unisex._Eco-friendly._Exquisitely_handcrafted_from_Indonesia./index.html WHEN BRITT EKLAND FOUND HER HAIR WAS THINNING SHE DECIDED TO TRY NOURKRIN. THE UK's No 1 HAIR SUPPLEMENT Says Britt Ekland 'Suffering hair loss was soul destroying' Britt Ekland is famous around the world for her timeless beauty. Her stunning Scandinavian looks combines deep blue eyes and flawless skin with beautifully full, golden hair. But she freely admits that whilst thinning hair and hair loss are subjects few women talk about openly, it is something that has concerned her in the past. In fact thinning hair and hair loss can affect as many as 1 in 3 women. Often it is a soul destroying experience. Handfuls of hair coming out in the shower or your hairbrush clogged with fine strands that fall away at the slightest touch. There are many reasons why women experience such sudden hair loss. The really good news is that often the process is temporary and can be reversed. This is particularly the case with one of the most common causes of hair loss in women known as Telogen Effluvium – temporary hair shedding that can be triggered by stress, illness or hormonal changes in women brought about by childbirth or the menopause. 'My hair looks thicker, fuller….its incredible' So whats the secret to the wonderfully rich, thick golden hair that keeps this Hollywood legend looking younger than many women of her age? Its NOURKRIN the award winning supplement that supports natural regrowth in women suffering temporary hair loss. It contains a special formula of all natural ingredients that support natural hair growth. These ingredients include a unique formulation of Silica, Vitamin C and deep sea marine extracts. 'Whenever people ask me how I manage to keep my hair so thick and full I let them into my secret just one Nourkrin tablet two times a day. Its that simple!' http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1760&num=20 Studies support the effects of Nourkrin Man. The Nourkrin product was developed by Finnish scientists who have had their findings published in leading British, French and Scandinavian Medical Journals. A published study in the Anglo French Dermatology Journal showed a group of middle aged males reducing their average hair thinning from 39% to just 9% after 8 months on the programme. After six months treatment, 40 young male subjects receiving Nourkrin showed a mean increase in non vellus hair of 38% and 95% of subjects showed both clinical and histological improvement. A significant decrease of thinning hair in young men under 30 was observed by 75.3% of subjects and 14.6% of subjects showed partial regrowth of hair. After two months treatment on young and middle aged men, the thinning hair had stopped in all subjects. 43% of subjects showed total regrowth, 23% greater than 75% regrowth, 13% 50-75% regrowth and 7% showed 30-50% regrowth. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1550&num=5 'Nourkrin provided the nutrients for my thicker head of hair'. Says Britt Ekland. Actress Britt Ekland has recently revealed on national TV that she too has beaten the hair loss problem. Since her days as an iconic 'Bond Girl' she has always felt the pressure of living up to the accolade of the most beautiful woman in the world and never more than when she realised she was losing her hair after the birth of her third child at the age of 45. 'My hair was becoming thinner and thinner and I had to disguise the problem with wigs and hairpieces on stage. In my normal life I found it a very stressful and emotional problem. 'I managed to end the misery of my hair loss problem when in desperation, I went to my local health store and he suggested Nourkrin. By the end of the second month my hair had stopped coming out and was staring to grow again. In fact, when I saw the new hair growth I wrongly assumed it was hair that was breaking off but my hairdresser was delighted and amazed to inform me that it was in fact my hair starting to grow again.' http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1548&num=5 NOURKRIN. Four stages of hair recovery. Nourkrin works in four stages over six months although most users notice a difference after just three to four months. Months 1-2: Nourkrin slows and nourishes thinning hair. Months 2-3: It strengthens and promotes the growth of existing hair. Months 3-4: It promotes the growth of existing hair where it has slowed down or temporarily stopped. These hairs are thin and wispy at first. Months 5-6: These hairs become stronger, healthier and more vibrant. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1546&num=5 Nourkrin. End to hair loss stress. Its distressing for any woman to realise she is losing her hair but this remarkably common problem can be brought on by stress, hormonal changes, poor diet or even some hair styling treatments. Whatever the cause, the body stops providing the scalp with the nutrients needed for healthy hair growth. So hair growth slows and individual strands. become thin and wispy before ceasing to grow at all. Nourkrin nourishes the hair follicles naturally. If the follicles receive the necessary stimulus and nutrients from the body, thinning hair can be stabilised and existing hair growth can be strengthened. Nourkrin provides those nutrients to nourish your hair naturally from within. A supplement that's 100% natural. Nourkrin is a drug free food supplement that promotes natural hair growth. The key ingredient is a protein compound of marine extracts blended with an organic soluble silica and fortified with Vitamin C. Says Indrani 'Thank you from the bottom of my heart'. Indrani suffered a terrible tragedy when her husband of 33 years died suddenly. She was traumatised and her appearance suffered but when her very long thick hair came out in handfuls, it caused her even more stress. Eventually a friend told her to try Nourkrin. For a few months, nothing striking happened but into her 5th and 6th month on the programme her hair stopped falling out and her spirits began lifting. In her own words, says Indrani 'Thank you from the bottom of my heart' http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1547&num=5 Statins and the associated depletion of the essential co factor Coenzyme Q10 Third Conference of the International Coenzyme Q10 Association By Peter H Langsjoen and Alena M Langsjoen The depletion of the essential nutrient Coenzyme Q10 by the increasingly popular cholesterol lowering drugs HMG CoA Reductase Inhibitors or Statins has grown from a level of concern to one of alarm. With ever higher Statin potencies and dosages and with a steadily shrinking target LDL cholesterol, the prevalence and severity of CoQ10 deficiency is increasing noticeably to the physicians in the trenches of front line patient care. An estimated 36 million Americans are now candidates for Statin drug therapy. Statin induced CoQ10 depletion has been documented in 15 animal studies in six different animal species and has been shown to correlate with decreased ATP production, increased Ischemia Reperfusion injury and increased mortality. There are 15 published trials on Statin induced CoQ10 depletion in humans. Of these 15 trials, nine were controlled trials, eight of which documented significant CoQ10 depletion. Statin induced CoQ10 depletion has been shown to be associated with a fall in left ventricular function, an elevation of lactate to pyruvate ratio and an enhancement of LDL cholesterol oxidation. The current data on diastolic dysfunction further confirms the clinical importance of this drug nutrient interaction. Statin induced CoQ10 depletion is well documented in animal and human studies with detrimental cardiac consequences in both animal models and human trials. Furthermore this drug induced nutrient deficiency is dose related and more notable in settings of pre existing CoQ10 deficiency such as in the elderly and in heart failure. Finally Statin induced CoQ10 deficiency is completely preventable with supplemental CoQ10 with no adverse impact on the cholesterol lowering or anti inflammatory properties of Statin drugs. We are currently in the midst of a congestive heart failure epidemic in the US, the causes of which are unclear. As physicians it is our duty to be absolutely certain that we are not doing harm to our patients by creating a widespread deficiency of a nutrient critically important for normal heart function. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1545&num=2 Breast Sense. Breast Self Examination Kit 10 minutes a month can save your life Early detection of breast cancer ensures greater treatment options and chance of recovery. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html Statins. The truth! Daily Mail Tuesday January 30th 2007 Are Statins worth taking and how safe are they? The official line is that patients should not stop taking Statins. As Professor Peter Weisberg, Medical Director of the British Heart Foundation said last week, 'There is overwhelming evidence that Statins save lives by preventing heart attacks and strokes.' But what if you are taking Statins because you’ve had a heart attack and are worried about potential side effects? Dr Peter Langsjoen a researcher at East Texas Medical Centre in Tyler Texas believes that he has a simple and practical solution. Ever since Statins were launched its been known that they have also dampened production of a vital enzyme called Coenzyme Q10 also known as Q10. Like cholesterol, it is made in the liver. Q10 is found in almost every cell in the body and is essential for energy production in the muscles. So giving patients a supplement of Q10 could reduce the side effects. Several years ago Langsjoen published a study in which patients with high levels of cholesterol but no evidence of heart disease were given the best selling Statin Lipitor. A staggering 71% of them developed a problem with their heart muscle that goes with heart failure. Giving them a supplement of 300mg of Q010 reversed the problem for almost half of them. Many people now take Q10 along with Statins as a precaution. If you are on Statins and feel they may be causing muscle related problems of brain fog, ofessor Golomb suggests asking you doctor about stopping the drug or reducing the dose. 'If he or she wont do that,' she says 'you could agree to increasing the dose for a little while and observe what happens to your symptoms.' http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1544&num=2 Get those leg warmers out and gyrate back into the eighties with the hippest fitness craze!

They hypothesised that Vitamin D would increase muscle strength which would reduce the risk of falling. Bischoff asked 122 elderly women ranging from 63-99 to take either a daily supplement of 1,200mg of Calcium and 800iu of Vitamin D or just 1,200mg of Calcium for three months. At the beginning of the study, Calcium levels were low in all subjects and nearly all were deficient in Vitamin D. The subjects were divides into two groups. For six weeks before supplementation, 15 women in what would be the Vitamin D/Calcium Group suffered 22 falls and 14 women in the Calcium Group had 20 falls. During three months of supplementation, 14 women in the Vitamin D/Calcium Group had 25 falls but 18 women in the Calcium Group experienced 55 falls! Bischoff concluded that Vitamin D/Calcium Supplements reduced the risk of falls by 49% over three months. A less conservative analysis found a 62% reduction in falls. Indeed, women who had a history of falling seemed to benefit most from the supplements. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html High dose antioxidant supplements can help promote faster healing after traumatic injury A traumatic injury generates a massive immune and inflammatory response which in turn generates huge numbers of free radicals which can further damage tissues and contribute to respiratory and organ stress.

Over acidification of the body's fluids and tissues can overwhelm your body and be a trigger for many of today's diseases such as arthritis, fatigue, heart disease and possibly even cancer. Just as your body regulates its own temperature, so will it preserves a very narrow pH range - especially in the blood. Your body will go to great lengths to maintain a blood pH of 7.365 that it will even create stress on other tissues or body systems to do so. Chronic acidification will interrupt all cellular activities and functions - it interferes with life itself! And when the pH of your body does get out of balance and become too acidic, you may experience low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches and pains, and even more chronic diseases. The process of restoring pH balance begins with proper diet and nutrition. This includes eating alkalising foods (vegetables, low sugar fruits, etc.), drinking plenty of ionic, structured, alkaline water and taking a daily supplement of Apple Cider Vinegar. Correcting your pH imbalances could be your key to more than just optimal health. It could mean renewed vigor and energy levels, enhanced mental clarity and focus and a slimmer and fitter you! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1660&num=5 L Theanine. The natural calming and relaxing supplement What is L Theanine? L Theanine is an amino acid that helps promote a restful, relaxed state without diminishing daytime alertness and without the side effects commonly associated with other relaxing agents. How does it work? Scientific studies show L Theanine impacts both the nervous and cardiovascular systems to produce a calming effect on mental state which is why its often referred to as the 'feel good supplement'. Scientists have investigated L Theanine's effect on brain amino acids and neurotransmitters. In clinical trials L Theanine was shown to increase alpha brain waves which is considered an index of alert relaxation, the daytime relaxed state. One of the ways L Theanine is thought to produce a calming effect is by increasing the brain's level of Gamma Amino Butyric Acid GABA, a natural chemical that experts believe has a sedative action and produces feelings of well being. L Theanine which readily crosses the blood brain barrier is also thought to affect levels of Dopamine, another feel good chemical. L Theanine is also thought to protect against Glutamate which can be toxic in high amounts. Glutamate levels are commonly thought to rise when there is a problem with blood flow to the brain. Hence the research into theory that L Theanine might help protect against Cerebral Vascular Dementia. Does L Theanine have any other benefits? There are scientific indications that L Theanine also supports healthy blood pressure levels already within normal limits because the same neurotransmitters that help us relax and sleep, also regulate blood pressure in our bodies. Japanese researchers have also found that L Theanine may also help control run away heart rates in times of stress. And researchers in the US also believe that L Theanine might help fight infection thanks to its effect on the immune systems T Cells. And whilst L Theanine may not help promote sleep, Tokyo based researchers suggest that it could improve your quality of sleep and help you feel more refreshed in the mornings. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html Flax Seeds For Post Menopausal Hot Flushes A pilot study at the Mayo Clinic found that Flax Seeds may be helpful in reducing hot flushes in post menopasual women. Data from 21 women not on HRT who suffered from hot flushes and took a supplement of crushed flax seeds each day showed an almost 60% decrease in the frequency of hot flushes over the course of the six week study! The researchers also reported improvement in mood, joint and muscle pain, chills and sweating. The results were considered promising and a larger clinical trial is planned in 2008 to hopefully confirm flax seeds as a new alternative to reduce hot flushes. Flax Seeds are a rich source of plant omega3 fatty acids and lignans. Lignans are phytonutrients with weak oestrogenic properties and may be behind flaxseed's benefits for menopausal symptoms. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1662&num=2 Latest evidence for the value of a combined Calcium and Vitamin D Supplement in reducing bone loss and fractures in the over 50's A review of 29 randomised trials which used Calcium combined with Vitamin D to prevent fractures and bone loss due to Osteoporosis concluded that significant evidence exists to support the use of a combined Calcium and Vitamin D Supplement in the reduction of fractures and the rate of bones loss and as a preventative treatment for Osteoporosis in people aged 50 and over. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html Theres nothing like a brisk walk to help you sleep better, lower your blood pressure and lose weight And theres nothing like a simple Pedometer to motivate you keep going! Fitness trends come and go but all it takes is some simple walking to not only improve your fitness but as research shows can also improve your sleep, reduce the risk of gallstones, lower your blood pressure, help you lose weight, reduce the risk of osteoporosis, diabetes and strokes and improve the symptoms associated with sexual dysfunction, cognitive decline and impaired memory. Aside from a comfortable pair of trainers the only must have accessory is a pedometer. This step counting device which clips to your belt and costs just a few pounds has actually been proven to boost your exercise output. In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr Dena Bravata a senior research scientist at Stanford University School of Medicine reviewed 26 research papers on the devices. They indicated that simply wearing a pedometer was enough to inspire people to walk further! 'Our major result is that Pedometer users increased their physical activity' Dr Bravata says. 'Specifically, they increased it by about 2000 steps a day, about a mile.' That equates to about 100 extra calories a day and explains why they also reduced their weight and blood pressure in the process.' On average Brits walk just 4,500 steps a day, a figure that would classify them as sedentary. So research which suggests that simply using a Pedometer could increase this to 6,500 steps sounds like good news. Says Louise Sutton Principal Lecturer in Health, Exercise and Nutrition at Leeds Metropolitan University 'You can definitely get fitter by walking. Like any form of exercise, it needs to be progressive and leave you a little tired if you want to lose weight.' She says 'But I would recommend it to anybody. Its cheap, enjoyable, accessible and gives you a psychological boost that's second to none'. 'Studies have shown that it is comparable to a course of Prozac. What more could you want from a workout?' So put your best feet forward and get walking. But don’t buy the cheapest Pedometer. A British Journal of Sports Medicine Study last year revealed that the cheaper models some of which can cost as little as £ 1.00 are often inaccurate. The good Pedometers start at around £ 15.00 The TANITA PD 637 Pedometer has been given a 5/5 Body and Soul Rating! A funky looking device that tots up 100,00 steps, it features steps and distance taken, calories burned and a pulsating beep that even helps you set your ideal pace! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html Cold Fingers? Do your fingers turn blue when you go out in the cold? There are various reasons for poor circulation so it is advisable to get checked out by your GP. A good way to get circulation going quickly is to put your hands into warm water till they start feeling warm and then switch to cold water. Repeat that two or three times but dont follow this routine if your fingers are already blue with cold. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and try including ZINOPIN DAILY a unique natural supplement developed by Dr John Scurr the Eminent UK Vascular Surgeon which contains a mixture of Patagonian Blueberries for their antioxidant properties and improved circulation, French Maritime Pine Bark extract – a super antioxidant that can thin the blood and Ginger Root also excellent for improved circulation.

The gloomy, dank mornings dont help either! But you are not alone. Millions of us suffer this seasonal 'mood shift' which gets a lot worse after the Christmas and New Year festivities are over. Experts believe that this change in mood is caused by two factors that arise at this time of the year. First, a biochemical imbalance in the hypothalamus area of our brains due to the shortening of daylight hours and the lack of sunlight. And second our bodyclocks get out of sync with our sleep wake patterns in autumn, spring and especially during the winter. Experts believe that Natural Complimentary Light Therapy, Dawn Simulation Sunrise Alarm Clocks and Full Spectrum Daylight Bulbs offer an effective way to beat both these causes of the winter blues. So,anytime you feel the winters are getting you down, MAY THE LIGHT FORCE BE WITH YOU! Light Therapy Much research including MRI magnetic resonance imaging brain scans, published by scientists in the UK and Belgium, show that Light Therapy Exposure to 5,000 to 10,000 Lux of Light (compared with an ordinary bulb that emits 500 Lux) causes several areas of the brain cortex to light up including the posterior thalamus, a deep region that acts as the brains central junction box which significantly boosts your moods, energy levels, mental alertness levels and powers of concentration. Dawn Simulation Sunrise Alarm Clocks Its been well documented that waking up to a light stimulus rather than to a sound alarm helps to reprogram your bodyclock to run in much better harmony with your lifestyle and sleep and wake patterns. A disrupted bodyclock is a disrupted life. A smooth running bodyclock is a smooth running life! Full Spectrum Daylight Bulbs Full Spectrum Daylight Bulbs are the closest bulbs to natural daylight you could get! They deliver the full spectral distribution of light bar the harmful UVA and UVB frequencies. Not only is this light the best light to work and read by, but this health giving ambient natural daylight at home helps to lift you from the depressing gloom outside. In autumn and winter we all live almost a kind of artificially lit existence wondering from an artificially lit home in the mornings to an artificially lit work place during the day and back to an artificially lit home at night, never seeing the light of day! Full Spectrum Daylight Bulbs help break this monotonous existence. You open your doors after a days work, switch on the light to be bathed by a warm glow of natural full spectrum light. You feel the vibes instantly! What a homecoming!

Most of us dont breathe properly which means we dont get enough oxygen to nourish our cells, give us energy and help us cope with stressful situations which all lead to a shorter life, according to Scientists at Duke University Just taking a few minutes out each day for a few breathing exercises with the Powerbreathe Plus Lung Exerciser, you will soon notice the huge difference to your health, your endurance, energy levels, stamina , fitness and mental acuity. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1668&num=3 Improve your balance and reduce your risk of a fall How long can you stand on one leg? If the answer is 'Not Long' you need to improve your balance. Being unsteady on you feet could increase your risk of a fall. In the UK up to 33% of people over 65 and 42% of people over 75 will fall each year according to the Royal College of Physicians A fall could put you at risk of bone fractures which could seriously affect your quality of life and for 14,000 people a year a fall could be the cause of death. Keep yourself firmly on your feet by getting regular balance training. With balance cushions, wobble boards and rocker boards balance training is fun, great therapy and great exercise! http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1669&num=4 Look five years younger! In the latest study published by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition researchers found that women with the highest amounts of Vitamin D in their diets had bodies that aged on average FIVE YEARS LESS than women with low Vitamin D levels! Vitamin D is thought to help boost your immune system, reduce inflammation and could help to reduce your risk of cancer, diabetes and rheumatiod arthritis. We can make Vitamin D from sunlight on our skin but in the UK its virtually impossible to get enough. Oily fish and dairy products contain Vitamin D but you are better off taking a supplement. Theres no recommended daily amount but you shouldnt exceed 25mcg. Most experts recommend taking 10mcg everyday. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1670&num=2 Sunshine Vitamin protects the heart as well as the bones Vitamin D may protect against heart attacks and strokes on top of its traditional role in keeping bones strong. Researchers have found that those with low blood levels of the sunshine vitamin were twice as likely to suffer from heart failure, a heart attack or a stroke than those with higher levels. The risk was still 62% after adjusting for well established risk factors such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Dr Thomas Wang who led the research said 'Our data raise the possibility that treating Vitamin D deficiency via supplementation or lifestyle measures could reduce cardiovascular risk.' Most of the body's supply of Vitamin D is provided by sunlight on the skin. The rest comes from foods such as fish, eggs and fortified milk and breakfast cereals. The mechanism by which it works is only partly understood but Vitamin D has been shown to slow the rate of growth of cancer cells and may boost the function of blood vessels or the immune system. Although many living in Northern Europe are not sufficiently lacking in Vitamin D to be classed as deficient, some experts now believe blood levels should be higher to optimise health. A spokesman for the Health Supplements Information Service said 'Dietary surveys show that large numbers of people in Northern Climates including the UK have blood levels of Vitamin D which are too low. 'Diet does not provide enough Vitamin D and the need for each of us to expose our skin to sunlight for short periods of time to make it runs contrary to the advice to avoid sunbathing to reduce the risk of skin cancer'. 'Confusing messages combined with seasonal variations in the strength of UV radiation, geographical latitude, time of day, cloud cover and the use of sunscreen merge to hamper reliable Vitamin D synthesis'. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1672&num=2 Walking for exercise can help beat the menopause blues Taking brisk walks could help menopausal women suffering from stress, anxiety and depression according to a new American study. Researchers at Temple University in Philadelphia studied a group of women for eight years and found that exercise such as walking had a positive effect on the psychological problems associated with the menopause. Women who exercised had lower levels of stress than those who did not. However, exercise did not offer any benefits in terms of hot flushes. 'Physical symptoms such as hot flushes will go away when you reach the menopause but mental health is something women still need to think about' said the researchers. The menopause normally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. Mood swings, forgetfulness and anxiety are common psychological problems linked to it. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1673&num=4 Everyone feels better on a sunny day! Its amazing what a little light can do. Sunlight improves our attitude, makes us feel more optimistic and gives us energy. But most of us spend nearly all of our time indoors so few of us get the sunshine we need, particularly in the shorter, darker days of winter. Meet the Litebook Elite. The world's first portable light therapy device, the patented Litebook Elite produces wavelengths of light identical to the peak wavelengths of the sun - without harmful UV rays. With just 15-30 minutes a day, you can feel like you do on a warm sunny day at the beach… without leaving your home! How the Litebook Elite works When the Litebook Elite is directed toward the eyes, light receptors in the retina trigger a cascade of messages throughout the body. Ultimately the brain reacts as if its a bright sunndy day even if its the middle of winter. When used every day, the Litebook Elite will improve your mood, increase your energy levels and restore your sleep patterns. When to use the Litebook Elite When we are exposed to bright light first thing in the morning, we feel more alert and optimistic all day long. Thats why for most people we recommend using your Litebook Elite as early as possible after waking especially during the shorter darker days of winter when your body needs it most. Your body clock needs to be reset everyday so we recommend using your Litebook Elite on a daily basis. Because the Lutebook Elite utilises advanced White LED Technology, 15-30 minutes a day is enough for most people. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/products/cat151/cat161/cat184/RELORA_Plant_Extract._Natural_Anti_Stress_Anti_Anxiety_Supplement._2_x_60_Caps._MULTIBUY._BUY_2./index.html Salt Therapy. The salty solution to the sniffles Well try anything to cure a cold, but scientists believe the solution could be right under our noses! In a study of children, researchers found that a saline nasal wash could help reduce the symptoms and reduce the risk of catching more coughs, sore throats, blocked noses and sinuses and colds. Saline washes may reduce the production of inflammatory compounds or create a favourable environement for cilia - the tiny hairs in the respiratory system to sweep away mucus and particles. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1677&num=3 A simple Saliva Test to help detect the presence of Candida If you feel for no obvious reason generally run down and lethargic, moody and irritable, suffer from bloating, heartburn and indigestion, acne, dry skin, itching and poor vaginal health you may have an intestinal fungal or yeast overgrowth. The most common causes of yeast and fungal intestinal overgrowth are the frequent use of antibiotics, stress or a weakened immune system. Theres a very quick, easy and simple test that you can do at home to detect the presence of a yeast and fungal intestinal overgrowth called the Saliva Test. When you wake in the morning, before you put anything into your mouth work up some saliva and deposit it into a clear glass of water. After around twenty minutes look through the side of the glass. If there are strings coming down from your saliva or if the water turns cloudy or if your saliva sinks to the bottom you may have a yeast or fungal concern. Whats the natural alternative solution for Candida? Along with diet changes, displacing the yeast or fungal intestinal overgrowth with certain specific good bacteria is a very effective way of restoring your intestinal microflora balance. THREELAC is a totally natural approach to combating Candida. Rather than trying to eradicate the overgrowths by killing them THREELAC'S unique Probiotic formula is designed to gently correct these microflora imbalances naturally. THREELAC Probiotics are more assertive toward certain strains of fungi and yeast and work by effectively crowding out fungal and yeast overgrowths and stimulating the production of immuno protective cells so preventing them from taking hold. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1678&num=2 1 in 3 women worry about thinning hair but now thousands are growing it back using Nourkrin Says Britt Ekland, Actress 'Are you worried by thinning hair?

In a Plasma Panel hundreds of thousands of tiny holes are sandblasted into glass and filled with a mixture of inert gases. Each cell is individually wired with electrodes that electrically heat up the gases into a superhot plasma. This plasma excites a phosphor coating to emit light in various colours. An Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Screen has hundreds of thousands of transistor like pixels whose molecular structure and colour changes, as different levels of current flow through them. The crucial difference between the two is that an LCD Display has to be backlit with a powerful electric bulb. Which is better LCD or Plasma? Whilst it lacks the punchy backlit impact of LCD and appears to some to give a softer picture, Plasma generally provides a more sophisticated image especially in a darkened or semi darkened setting where you might want to settle down and watch a film. The blacks on a Plasma Screen are also much denser especially in a darkened room and Plasma may also offer better images when displaying fast moving sport. Your choice of Screen may boil down to how or what TV you prefer to watch. If you prefer to watch TV with the lights dimmed low or in the dark or if you like watching a lot of fast action sport, Plasma Screens might offer the best overall viewing whereas if you generally watch your TV in daylight or with the lights on, the LCD Screen might be the better option. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1691&num=6 How can you clean your LCD and Plasma Screens safely and easily without damaging the delicate screens and leaving smears or smudges? Before you spray anything on to your LCD or Plasma Screen to clean it, remember that using just any ordinary spray or wiper to wipe it can seriously damage and degrade the screens, the protective sensitive screen coatings and LCD polarisers leading to microabrasion, stress cracking, hairline scratches, yellowing, discolouring, reduced brightness and clarity and can cause the surface to become brittle, cloudy and crazed. Some coatings may even ultimately dissolve! And once damaged the screens are impossible to repair. Ordinary screen cleaners often contain solvents, high pH values, high conductivity values, high KH-DH values. Even water based cleaners often containing citric acid can also damage the screen the result of the salt and acid content and can also deposit chalky residues which are very difficult to remove and can cause short circuiting. Some screen coatings can be so sensitive they can even be vulnerable to the salts on your hands! And even using the wrong cloths or dusters to wipe your LCD or Plasma Screen surfaces can also cause damage to the screens and screen coatings by abrading and scratching the surfaces and depositing contaminating particulates, chemicals, lint and powdery residues. LCD and Plasma Computer and TV Screens may also be vulnerable to any excessive pressure exerted especially when trying to wipe over the surface with a cloth. Because as you pass the cloth over the surface of your screen, it is very hard to control the pressure you apply and so you can so easily whether accidentally or inadvertently apply excessive pressure without knowing and undermine and even crack the screen surface simply by a momentary and sudden overworking of the screen surface. http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1692&num=6 Your brain has unlimited potential. There's no end to what you and your brain can do. It's up to you to make the best of it and unlock your brain's full potential.

A dilator that would open the nostrils fully, be comfortable and stay in place throughout the night until removed by the patient'. Extensive tests were carried out during the development of the dilator from my surgery at the Nuffield Hospital Brentwood, Essex (England). 'A series of trials were conducted with selected patients who were sufferers of breathing and snoring problems due to nasal obstruction'. 'I concluded from the results that this nasal dilator proved surprisingly effective in lowering the snoring levels substantially and in some cases eliminating the problem totally'. Abdul Latif ENT Surgeon http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/productsindex.html Do you tend to develop dry coughs after a cold or flu that seem to linger on for ages? Heres one story from DH of London we would like to share with you 'Persistent coughing as an after effect of a cold or flu for many weeks after the cold or flu has gone is something Ive suffered from for ages. A couple of colds a year usually meant three or four months a year of additional coughing discomfort!' 'Its not something I could ever get used to. The coughs always seemed to happen at awkward moments. And coughing on and off all through the day continuously for weeks on end is exhausting, debilitating, distressing and depressing. 'And just as suddenly as the coughing started, so after an interminable six or seven weeks it would stop for no apparent reason' 'Id consulted with my GP. With his help and advice I tried just about everything to stop the cough. Tinctures, cough medicines, decongestants and loads of cough pastilles' 'I also tried nasal douches. They provided a bit of relief but had no direct effect on the cough' 'So the next time I went through this coughing episode after a cold I mentioned this to one of the sales staff at Living Is Easy.co.uk. He suggested I try a Salt Pipe to try to calm and cleanse my upper respiratory tract and to try to stop the coughing. He also recommended though that the next time I developed a cold to start using the Salt Pipe immediately' 'I purchased a Salt Pipe from Living Is Easy.co.uk and with my cold gone but the coughing well into its fifth week, started using the Salt Pipe everyday a few times in the morning and before going to bed' 'A couple of weeks later the cough disappeared but I could not for certain attribute the cough stopping to the Salt Pipe' 'Nevertheless about a year later when I developed another heavy summer cold this time I began using the Salt Pipe everyday the moment the cold took hold' 'So having used the Salt Pipe regularly since day one of the cold, the cold took its usual five day course to go, the coughing started, lingered for a couple of days and then miraculously disappeared' 'That had never happened in almost twenty years of colds and flu'! 'Could this be all down to the Salt Pipe?' 'My own view is that given a cold is essentially a viral attack on the linings of the nasal passages and upper respiratory tract its quite possible that my lingering coughing may have been the result of irritants remaining that were not cleared away from my system' 'What I feel might have happened when using the Salt Pipe is that it may have accelerated the clearing and cleansing process whilst I had my cold so ridding my respiratory system of the irritants and debris created by the cold' 'By using the Salt Pipe right from day one of the cold I feel it has helped to cleanse and expel whatever had in the past tended to remain in my respiratory system after a cold to cause all this irritation and coughing' http://www.livingiseasy.co.uk/help/HotTips/?id=1697&num=3 When undergoing a candida cleanse, the toxins quite often get worse initially, and this can leave you feeling worse before you feel better. Supplements are important for minimising these unpleasant as well as harmful effects.
