Every year on January 1st, millions of us begin the annual ritual of making a New Year's Resolution. Sales of chocolate and alcohol plummet as we promise ourselves a new strict diet program or an energetic gym schedule; however most of us are ready to get back to our old ways by mid March[i]. Despite our best intentions, only 1 in 10 of us will succeed in our resolutions[ii], why not make 2011 the year that you stick to your promises with the help of Nelsons.
Excessive Comfort Eater
According to the British Dietetic Association, during the festive season the average woman gains 5lb over Christmas[iii]! If you need a helping hand to get you back on track with your diet and healthy living regime then try Bach™ Emotional Eating Kit. It 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 artificial additive free and suitable for the whole family.
Fitness Fanatic
Setting yourself a new energetic gym regime after a few months or even years off the gym will be a shock to your body. Keep Nelsons Arnicare™ Arnica Spray in your gym bag, it is ideal post workout, simply massage it in to help soothe those tender, aching muscles.
Studies show that increased endurance exercise can lead to reduced iron levels[iv]. If your athletic work-outs leave you with muscle fatigue and tiredness, it could be down to a lack of dietary iron. Top up your iron levels with Spatone™#, it is a 100% natural liquid iron supplement that is gentle on the stomach and easily absorbed.
Happy Digestion
After the parties and overindulgence, it’s easy to feel in need of a health kick. Introducing more fruit and vegetables into your diet, increasing the amount of water you drink and cutting back on the alcohol will be on the top of most people’s New Year’s resolutions list. Try Duchy Herbals Detox Tincture#, a food supplement made from extracts of Artichoke and Dandelion, which helps support the body’s natural detoxification processes and maintains healthy digestion.
Don’t Give Up Giving Up
Giving up smoking is one of the most popular resolutions that people make, however it is an extremely hard one to stick to. Setting a realistic New Year’s Resolution will help you stay on the straight and narrow. If you have a moment of weakness, try taking Bach™ Original Flower Remedy Chestnut Bud, it can help you stop repeating the same mistakes again.
New research has observed that chewing gum can help relieve anxiety, improve alertness and reduce stress.[v] Taking time out to chew a piece of gum, could help make a calmer, more relaxed you, helping you to stay on track to keeping your New Year’s Resolution. RESCUE® Chewing Gum is flavoured with zesty natural orange and elderflower. The liquid centre contains four drops of the famous combination of five flower essences discovered by Dr Bach and used by millions around the world. Keep Rescue Chewing Gum in your bag or on your desk.
* Always read the label.
