<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; text-align: justify;">
Market trends predict
that ingestible beauty products will be the next big thing, so here’s the super
ingredients to look out for and try when putting this trend to the test: <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>VITAMIN C<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 110%; text-align: justify;">
Perhaps best known
for its immune boosting properties, Vitamin C should not be overlooked when it
comes to your beauty regime. 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>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>S</b></span>ix in every 10 people in the UK
are currently living with raised or abnormal cholesterol levels, putting them
at an increased risk of a range of cardiovascular diseases including strokes
and heart attacks. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
However, it’s not all doom and
gloom, as there are several simple lifestyle changes you can make to naturally
decrease your cholesterol levels and improve your health in the long term. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Top nutritionist Sarah Flower
says, <i>“The build-up of cholesterol and fats in the body form a plaque in the
artery walls. 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;">

<b>1)<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal;">     
</span></b><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>

<b>2)<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal;">     
</span></b><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;">

</span></b><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>

</span></b><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;">

</span></b><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>

REVIEW: Cervinia Ski Resort, Italy

<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;">

<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;">

<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;">
<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? Yes really!</span><br />
