Lose up to two stone in ten weeks

Thu, May 24, 2018

There are three keys to a genuine weight loss (real fat 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.

Thu, May 17, 2018

As the evenings get longer and brighter Galwegians are enjoying a range of sports from pounding the Prom in their running shoes, to enjoying a spot of tennis or hitting the road on a bike. Increased activity also coincides with more sports injuries, but thankfully there are steps we can take to prevent them.

The most common causes of injury include overuse of muscles, muscle tightness, and muscle weakness. Muscles are less likely to become injured though when blood flow to the area is improved through massage and the muscles are elongated and stretched.

Natural fertility with Health and Harmony

Thu, May 17, 2018

When you visualise your perfect family, the primary focus of that picture is a healthy child or children. Although it may sound obvious, many do not realise that the foundations for a healthy baby are laid many months prior to conception. A healthy egg, top quality sperm, and a luscious womb lining are all essentials for pregnancy – and guaranteeing you have all three lies in the work you do in the months beforehand to maximise your health. Nutrition, lifestyle, and stress levels all play a part in ensuring a healthy pregnancy and the ultimate dream of a healthy baby.

Sometimes taking the natural route can lead you on the greatest journey. Denise Christie of Health and Harmony Loughrea is an experienced holistic medicine practitioner. She works with couples who either want to follow a completely natural route to a happy and healthy pregnancy, or who have experienced problems and want help to overcome those blocks, and she also works to support couples through IVF and assisted fertility.
