Exercising as we age ’will improve health’

As we age, our metabolism slows down and it our lives are often too busy to sign up to gym inductions or spend time faffing around with faddy diets. Instead, keeping an eye on your weight doesn’t have to be difficult, as long as you approach it with consistency.
According to Anna Mason, founder of Distance Dieters, the most effective way to exercise is just to do it regularly - schedule a time in which you can work out every week and stick to it.
"Exercise at least three times each week but preferably each day for a minimum of 15 minutes," she advised.
The type of physical activity you do will depend on what aims you want to achieve. If you want to tone up muscles, choose resistance training, working with weights and flexible exercises to increase bone density and sculpt long, lean muscles.
"Walking, jogging, running, rowing, cycling and any exercise which gets the whole body moving will help to improve the cardiovascular system, improving the blood flow and oxygen supply," Ms Mason pointed out.
"Our joints become tighter as we age, and taking a flexibility class or a Yoga class will help to prevent this. The key is to find exercise you enjoy and make it a part of your lifestyle."
Investing in a quality Yoga mat and using it for a quarter of an hour every morning could be a great way to incorporate exercise into your daily routine without feeling like you have to force yourself onto the treadmill. It will also set you up for the day, as performing your sun salutations will leave you feeling calm and relaxed ahead of a busy schedule.
Supermodel Christie Brinkley, who is 58, swears by her Yoga workout, as she told Becomegorgeous.com.
"I try to get some exercise every day, and I usually average four or five times a week. I love Yoga classes, but if I don’t have time for them, I just roll the mat down in my bedroom and go through some sun salutations to sort of warm up for the day," she told the publication.

- The Great Pomegranate Seed Oil Jan 15, 2021Hi Kianouche, Thank you for your message. I would recommend to mix pomegranate oil with Marula oil for what you are looking to treat. A few drops of antioxidant-rich Marula oil mixed with Pomegranate oil can boost efficacy and help restore your skin’s functions in perfect equilibrium. Long term use may visibly minimise pores, brighten the skin, protect it from the oxidative damage caused by pollution, tones down pigmentation and assists with scar tissue healing. Hope this helps :)
- The Great Pomegranate Seed Oil Jan 15, 2021Hi I’ve bought some of your pomegranate oil, together with rosehip and marula oils. Which of the other two oils would be better to mix with pomegranate oil for mature skin with hyperpigmentation due to sun damage and sometimes prone to spots and milia when using rich moisturisers. Also, can I use pomegranate oil by itself or combined with either of the other two oils around my eyes

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 14, 2021Hi Dolores, thank you for your message!Ashwagandha is an adaptogen so will adapt to your own bodies rhythm. It is a powerful way to regulate energy levels through the day so in some people may boost circulation and cell activity, which is why you may find yourself with insomnia. Everyone is unique and different, so will react to herbs and remedies differently. As you are using bio-identical hormones, I would advise you check with your GP, as there are often interferences with herbs. Perhaps you should try taking your Ashwagandha in the morning to regulate your bodies rhythm through the day.
