Is your metabolism stopping your weight loss?

Thu, Nov 10, 2011

There are three main keys in genuine weight loss — food, exercise and correcting your metabolism faults. Your metabolism refers to a complex series of chemical processes that convert food into energy as well as establishing the rate at which your body burns calories.

Your thyroid gland, your adrenal gland, your liver, your digestive system, your blood sugar levels, and your hormone balance are some of the key components of your weight loss. The health and functioning of these components has enormous control over how successful your weight loss will be and how much you will get from your dieting and exercising. This is the very foundation of good weight loss.

Notes for the season

The very first thing you need to do when hunting for the perfect denim is to be clear about your body shape. You have to buy denims first for what you are, and only second what you want to achieve. Jeans are one item you cannot buy successfully on the recommendation of a friend. Unless you are identical twins, it is highly unlikely that what is perfect for one girl will be work at all for another. Whether you are long and leggy or small and petite, the perfect pair is waiting at the denim bar in Brown Thomas.

The sixty-second remedy to thinning hair — Viviscal Hair Loss Concealer Fibres

Thu, Oct 27, 2011

Do you suffer from thinning hair? Worry not, check out Lifes2good’s solution - Viviscal Hair Loss Concealer Fibres, which are suitable for both men and women. Unlike solid colour products or powders, which do not effectively match the human hair they are being applied to and can look crude and obvious, Viviscal Hair Loss Concealer Fibres give a very natural appearance. The electrostatic coating of the hair fibres ensures they stay in place all day.

Viviscal Hair Loss Concealer Fibres have been developed as an interim cover-up solution to effectively bulk up each strand of natural hair and create an overall effect of thicker hair, making the scalp less visible. Simply shake like a pepper pot over your hair and stroke gently to scatter the fibres evenly until the desired coverage is achieved — you can use a little for a subtle effect or a lot to make a dramatic difference. Thousands of minute hair fibre strands are released with each application which bond on contact and branch off your existing natural hair, instantly building density. There is no staining or smearing and the fibres simply wash out with shampoo. The product is available in five different colours, so you can colour match to ensure your style looks natural and undetectable. Viviscal Hair Loss Concealer Fibres, available in brunette, light brown, blonde, auburn, and grey, are priced at €24.95 and are available from www.viviscal.ie and direct from Lifes2good on 1890 601 801 or from Matt O’Flaherty’s, McLoughlin’s, Evergreen, Briarhill Pharmacy, and Open Sesame pharmacies and health stores in Galway.
