As the clock strikes twelve on New Year’s Eve most people are making their New Year’s Resolutions and how they can banish the bad habits of the past year. For many women getting fitter, slimming and a detox are high on the list of priorities.
The average person puts on between five and ten pounds between November and January and it's pretty easy to put on more if you let yourself feast on all the delights of the season. Research has revealed that 3.59 million people took out new gym membership during the first two weeks of January[i] and shortly after a further 4.28 million intended to. Joining the gym or starting a new diet, is the perfect way to start the year and aim for the bikini body that we dream of.
Getting fit
If you are hitting the gym for the first time in a few months or even years why not try out Arnicare™ Arnica Spray. It is great for soothing aching muscles after exercise.
Studies show that increased endurance exercise can lead to reduced iron levels[ii]. If your athletic work-outs leave you with muscle fatigue, tiredness and breathlessness it could be down to depleted iron stores.Top up your iron levels with Spatone™#, it is a 100% natural liquid iron supplement that is gentle on the stomach and easily absorbed.
Comfort Eating
If you have been reaching for the mince pies and yule log to get you through the Christmas period then Bach™ Emotional Eating Kit could give you a helping hand with your diet and healthy living regime. Bach Emotional Eating Kit is a set of three flower essences and is the first product available in the UK to help with emotional eating. You can create your own individual combination and adapt it to suit your changing moods. The essences are alcohol and additive free and suitable for the whole family.
Detox
The parties and rich food over the festive season can leave many of us feeling in need of a detox. Duchy Herbals Detox Tincture# is a food supplement made from extracts of Artichoke and Dandelion, to help support the body’s natural elimination and detoxification processes, and help maintain healthy digestion.
Daily Stresses
Whatever your New Year’s Resolution Rescue® Remedy* can help restore inner calm and manage daily stresses, for example when starting a new regime. Rescue Remedy is an ally to keep you on track when things get too much, and is suitable for the whole family.
