Do you know what you are sleeping with?

Thu, Oct 31, 2019

Health is the most important of our needs, and is a priority for each and every one of us. The average person loses up to one pint of sweat every night while sleeping. What's more, we shed approximately 40,000 dead skin cells every minute, which equals nearly 20 million deadskin cells every night. If your mattress is not properly protected, these natural impurities are absorbed into the mattress.

Dust mites are microscopic spiders that feed on our dead skin cells and in an unprotected mattress there can be an accumulation of skin cells, dust mites, and their droppings, which cause eczema attacks as well as rhinitis or just an unrestful night’s sleep. Dust mites will drop between one and two pellets an hour.

Treat yourself to an Atlantic break at the Cliffs of Moher Hotel

Wed, Oct 30, 2019

There is something wonderful about seaside villages — and it all comes down to the soundscape. My fascination with that noise began with a reading of E. Annie Proulx’s wonderful book The Shipping News which brought the reader into that space where the crashing Atlantic against the rocks of Newfoundland became a character in the narrative. And so it is here in Liscannor, this beautiful space looking out on that same ocean, where the sound of the waves plays an equal part of everyday life.

Lose up to two stone in ten weeks

Thu, Oct 24, 2019

There are three keys to a successful weight loss plan – diet, exercise, and metabolism correction. All three keys interconnect – one will not work without the other. Your metabolism is the most powerful of all the three keys – it is the ‘switch’ that controls everything else. In most people this switch is off.

Metabolism problems such as slow thyroid, type 2 diabetes, sluggish liver, hormone imbalances, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility, and digestive problems such as constipation, IBS, and diverticulitis will limit or stop your weight loss, no matter how much dieting or exercise you do. Work on fixing your metabolism problems for amazing results. Combine this with a reasonable diet and a reasonable amount of exercise and you will get the best, the fastest, and the easiest weight loss ever.
