Cut down on alcohol to feel better this autumn

Feeling sluggish and lethargic does not have to be par for the course at this time of the year, even though the days are getting shorter and the nights are drawing in.
If you are getting tired and fed up with the colder weather, it may be time for some healthy living to get you back on track.
According to nutritionist and author Suzi Grant, cutting down on alcohol consumption could help people start to feel better.
"Sugar is the work of the devil in my book," she explained. "Of course it's in alcohol - everyone says a glass of red wine is really good because of the antioxidants, but actually it's the grapes that are giving the antioxidants."
The British Association of Nutritional Therapists member noted that the sugar comes from the fermenting process of wine production, which can give lots of individuals digestive problems and is not good for those with diabetes or low blood-sugar problems.
"They'd be better off eating a bunch of grapes, which are still incredibly high in natural sugar but at least give the antioxidants first-hand," Ms Grant said.
Above all, drinking alcohol in moderation is advisable, not least because it is a depressive and can actually make you feel more down once the initial buzz has worn off.
"What I always tell my clients is that if they like booze, keep to the clean, low-sugar spirits like dry, sparkling wine or dry champagne, tequila or vodka. They're much lower in sugar, but if you like the odd glass of red wine that's fine," the nutrition expert added.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reported that many people could live to see their 100th birthday by following healthy living steps.
These include taking regular exercise, which could see more individuals investing in Yoga mats, because inactivity can take almost four years off a person's expected lifespan.

- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenFeb 04, 2021Hello Dia, Thank you for your comment. Research is confusing when it comes to testosterone levels with PCOS and using Ashwagandha. As it is an adaptogenic herb, it will 'adapt' to the environment of the body to support hormonal balance. A huge therapeutic benefit of Ashwagandha is its ability to balance cortisol levels, which could improve stress and symptoms of PCOS also. If you are currently using any medications or under medical supervision, please seek advice from your practitioner to ensure there are no interactions. I hope this helps :)

We would advise you check with your GP for interactions with estrogen medications for menopause as there are different variations of these medications. I hope this helps :)
