INGESTIBLE SKINCARE: THE NEXT BIG BEAUTY TREND?

This is because Vitamin C plays an incredibly important role in the synthesis of collagen, the protein in our bodies responsible for the skin's suppleness and elasticity that can help you to maintain a youthful, plumped up and healthy glow. There are also noticeable effects of Vitamin C deficiency on the skin which can be seen when it becomes dry and dull and begins to lose its firmness and tone. To up your vitamin C intake and ensure a real beauty boost, try Altrient C, the world’s first liposomal Vitamin C supplement which offers a 98% absorption rate. In recent research this supplement increased skin elasticity and firmness by 61% in just 12 weeks.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; text-align: justify;"> <b>MILK THISTLE <o:p></o:p></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; text-align: justify;"> Revitalise tired-looking winter skin with milk thistle which offers excellent detoxifying properties to cleanse and support the liver, which, if not working to its best advantage, can be responsible for a variety of skin complaints, including eczema, dermatitis and those dreaded dark circles.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; text-align: justify;"> <b>HYALORONIC ACID <o:p></o:p></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; text-align: justify;"> Perhaps one of the most well-known anti-aging beauty ingredients, hyaluronic acid can be found in a wide range of topical beauty products. To see the true benefits of hyaluronic acid on your skin, look for supplements and products which contain pure hyaluronic acid. These don’t come cheap, but one affordable option is O’HISA. This new supplement includes Hyabest, 100% pure hyaluronic acid which offers advanced anti-ageing benefits, eliminating skin imperfections such as wrinkles and fine lines. O’HISA also includes omega 7 and 9, alongside B vitamins and zinc to help to keep your hair and nails in a healthy condition.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; text-align: justify;"> <b>RESERVATROL <o:p></o:p></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; text-align: justify;"> Resveratrol is a natural antioxidant compound called a phytoalexin, which is produced by plants when they’re subjected to stress. As an antioxidant, resveratrol offers great anti-aging skin benefits, working to protect cells against oxidative damage as well as reducing inflammation. The highest amounts of resveratrol are found in the skins of grapes and in red wine, but blueberries, pomegranate, blackberries, raspberries and peanuts also contain modest quantities of this natural compound.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; text-align: justify;"> <b>PROBIOTICS <o:p></o:p></b></div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; text-align: justify;"> The benefits of probiotics go beyond digestion, with research indicating that a balanced and healthy gut flora can impact positively on the health and appearance of your skin, hair and nails.  Our gut flora is known to bind to and remove toxins from the gut daily and taking a multi strain probiotic such as Bio-Kult regularly could help to remove waste substances and toxins from the body leaving you looking and feeling better.<o:p></o:p></div>

This plaque can limit the blood flow, particularly to your heart and makes the artery walls thick, hard and inflexible. To stop this build up from happening, I have put together a range of simple tips and lifestyle changes which will help you to lower your cholesterol, with minimum effort.”</i><o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;"> <!--[if !supportLists]--><b>1)<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal;">      </span></b><!--[endif]--><b>Avoid Alcohol  <o:p></o:p></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Alcohol consumption increases the risk of fatty deposits in the blood.  Excessive alcohol consumption also leads to nutrient deficiencies, particularly of those wonderful antioxidants whose role is to protect against lipid (fat) formation in the first place.  So if you are worried about your cholesterol or heart, you really need to limit your alcohol consumption – maybe a glass of red wine occasionally as this has been shown to help lower cholesterol – but in moderation!<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;"> <!--[if !supportLists]--><b>2)<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal;">      </span></b><!--[endif]--><b>Opt for Good Fats <o:p></o:p></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Oily fish, nuts and seeds are good fats which can help to improve our health and wellbeing. Everyone needs fat in their diet, but to reap the health benefits we need to choose good fats, and limit the amount of saturated fats found in convenience foods. Nuts, seeds and oily fish are all packed with amazing nutrients and omega 3, which is essential for good health.  Oily fish has been shown to help lower cholesterol by up to 4%.  Walnuts and almonds are fantastic nuts that not only help keep you fuller for longer but also have been shown to help lower cholesterol.  Also, try cooking with coconut oil, as this too has some amazing health properties.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;"> <!--[if !supportLists]--><b>3)<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal;">      </span></b><!--[endif]--><b>Pack your Plate with Colour <o:p></o:p></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Eat plenty of vegetables, packed with nutrients, including phytonutrients and antioxidants and fill your plate with colour in every meal.  This gives your body the tools it needs to fight infection and promote overall good health. One of the best food sources to lower cholesterol is the humble tomato. Tomatoes contain lycopene which has shown to be as, if not more effective at reducing cholesterol than statins. To ensure you get adequate amounts of lycopene into your diet, I would recommend CardioMato (£18, Boots), a new supplement which is clinically proven to lower bad cholesterol in just six weeks.   <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;"> <!--[if !supportLists]--><b>4)<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal;">      </span></b><!--[endif]--><b>Embrace the Outdoors<o:p></o:p></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> An active lifestyle can really help to lower your cholesterol levels, so try to exercise for at least 30 minutes each day. If you’re new to exercise, a gentle walk, jog or cycle can really help. The more vigorous the exercise you choose, the more benefits you will see, but start slowly to ease yourself in and build your fitness levels to avoid injury. <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;"> <!--[if !supportLists]--><b>5)<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal;">      </span></b><!--[endif]--><b>Cook from Scratch <o:p></o:p></b></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> This may sound like common sense, but cooking food from scratch will help you to eliminate hidden sugars and trans fats which can be damaging to your health. Processed, tinned and food in jars contain countless numbers of additives so opt for honest, real food to improve your health. Exciting research shows that a low carb, high fat diet could help reverse diabetes, combat obesity, lower high blood pressure and even stabilise cholesterol. The high fat theory is certainly worth exploring, but a word of warning – high fat with high carbohydrates diets will be detrimental to your health so if you are going to increase your fats, you need to reduce your carbs, and by this, you really need to go sugar free, grain free and low carb.  <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.vitahealthcare.co.uk/">www.vitahealthcare.co.uk</a> <o:p></o:p></div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div>

REVIEW: Cervinia Ski Resort, Italy

<br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"> <img src="http://www.cervinia.it/images/prima_traccia/10" /></div> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="font-size: x-large;">A</span></b>t the foot of the impressive Matterhorn, lies the ski resort of Breuil-Cervinia. With its manicured pistes and remarkable mountain peaks, Cervinia is a high altitude ski area where a Vin Brule or an Aperol Spritz at 11am is perfectly acceptable and a sickeningly yet decadent hot chocolate is on the menu.</h3> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> First opened in 1938, the little skiing Hamlet was named simply, Breuil. Yet the astounding mountainous surrounding views and large skiing area began to attract more and more visitors leading to a name change. Cervinia. The ski area spans two countries, three valleys and allows you access to mountain tops of nearly 4,000m high! The large town is compact with a huge amount of accommodation spread over the hillsides and surrounding lanes. With a regular ski shuttle bus running through the town, skiers are able to escape the morning walk to the lifts.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-iqnQdAL2ep3FF_KcciQzHWhuaJIcUYJSe3LZHIR380hGTfVbxTemfzzKjTRhRpbOZljBERR95A_Wd1pHtVLU1RW5eEccxoBXp_5NNUGFQ-DothxMzpokz_OBhoDvkqhqcUgJlrke1MBs/s1600/Panorami+inverno_20090307_Cervinia_notturna2_h.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-iqnQdAL2ep3FF_KcciQzHWhuaJIcUYJSe3LZHIR380hGTfVbxTemfzzKjTRhRpbOZljBERR95A_Wd1pHtVLU1RW5eEccxoBXp_5NNUGFQ-DothxMzpokz_OBhoDvkqhqcUgJlrke1MBs/s640/Panorami+inverno_20090307_Cervinia_notturna2_h.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> However, the real beauty of the accommodation in Cervinia lies with the handful of hotels positioned just metres away from the piste. We stayed at Hotel Lyskamm, a casual affair and a delightfully chic family-run business which retains the character of a Skandi ski-resort but reflects the modern needs of today’s skier. On a half board basis, Hotel Lyskamm provides a mountain retreat with comfortable rooms and more importantly, a 30 second walk to the lift. An impressive menu of four courses is offered during dinner, and while the portions are unreasonably large, the selection is impeccable. From fresh pastas and soups to succulent meat and fish, there really is something for everyone. With views from the bar over the main piste coming into the main town, it provides a lot of entertainment for the Belle Team as we reminisce over our learning days as we sip on an Aperol Spritz.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> The Matterhorn steals the show when it comes to the glorious mountainous landscape of Cervinia. The most photographed mountain the world celebrated its 150 year anniversary of its first conquest (1865) in 2015, and stands beautifully and proudly as the skier’s and Cervinia’s mascot.  Looking fantastic from all angles, we did find the best Matterhorn photograph opportunity is found in Zermatt where the mountains peak is displayed in all its glory.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMA4zI6jMu31CxgLsappEV7gTBgU2HarhLMBt8AjfGVeTwrHbILJ6ZdrCbk5u3juT378QSKvXFmO3_6cjB-29bEcitqsPcvXov2MRRp_50MgU8-Fb0p4uwsL86ew073rq61x3H3pZ-XETn/s1600/Panorami+inverno_yan_lavoro_gatto2_mezzalama09_h.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMA4zI6jMu31CxgLsappEV7gTBgU2HarhLMBt8AjfGVeTwrHbILJ6ZdrCbk5u3juT378QSKvXFmO3_6cjB-29bEcitqsPcvXov2MRRp_50MgU8-Fb0p4uwsL86ew073rq61x3H3pZ-XETn/s640/Panorami+inverno_yan_lavoro_gatto2_mezzalama09_h.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <span style="text-align: justify;">The area of Cervinia provides access to neighbouring resort Valtournench which lies at 1,500meteres and also has connections to Zermatt, Switzerland. Definitely worth a visit, Zermatt is a beautiful ski resort which harbours its own mountain train – a great addition to the landscape! The beautiful panorama of the area lead us to constantly be reaching for our cameras and with attractions such as the Iglu Village and Glacier Paradise we can’t wait to go back! Who wouldn’t dream of sliding through a Glacier on a matt?
