Revitalise - How to boost your system and energy levels

Image via Wikipedia

A message from Noelyne...

Give your system a bost every now and then by taking steps to revitalise your energy levels.  If you are very busy or have been unwell, it can leave you feeling sluggish and listless.  Taking time regularly to recharge will infuse you with vitality.  Here are some tips for revitalising yourself: some are quick fixes others will need more time and dedication.

• Revitalising yourself through nourishing food - is the perfect place to start.  The food on our plates today is not as nutritious as it was 10 years ago.  Intensive farming, chemicals, supermarkets and the fast pace of life all contribute to poorer quality.  If you are fortunate to be able to buy farm fresh or even produce your own then you stand a better chance of having the right level of vitamins etc in your diet.

• Think about the food you eat. Eating sugary foods will give you an instant high however, will ultimately make you feel slow and sluggish.  A detox can bring a new sense of vitality and regenerate your system.  Try spring cleaning your body by eating raw fruit and vegetables and unprocessed seeds, nuts and grains, which improve cellular functioning and increase stamina and energy.

• Try a weekend detax or fast.

• Use colour therapy to revitalise yourself.  Red, the colour of energy, can stimulate vitality and can also promote self-confidence, courage, stability, security, passion and physical activity.

• Drink Aloe Vera Gel - This will increase your energy levels long term.  It works by improving the body's absorption of vitamins and minerals from teh food you eat and also is full of essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals and amino acid.  Make sure the drink is made from the inner leaf gel only.

Enjoy feeling energised again,

Quiet - How to find peace and quiet with meditation

Image via Wikipedia

A Message from Noelyne...

In our busy world it can be difficult to find peace and quiet.  However, we all need some quiet time to rest and recharge.

Find quiet within yourself with this meditation.  Make time to practise it every day, at the same time.  Good times are first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

• Sit comfortably in a quiet place and relax.  Take a few deep breaths in and out, letting go of any tension as you breathe out.  Close your eyes.  Still your mind by focusing on your breath.  Alternatively, a mantra of your choice or a picture of a smiling buddha or candle flame.  Aim to practise for 20 minutes.  Then open your eyes and gently stretch before getting up.  You may find it difficult to stay focused at first however, if you persevere you will eventually get the results you want.

Make time every day to spend time somewhere serene, even a quiet half hour in the bathroom can make all the difference.

Reduce the amount of noise in your surroundings by only having one appliance on at a time.

Have a TV free evening! Chat to your partner, read a book or bake a cake.

Have a quiet and peaceful day,

Pamper

A Message from Noelyne....

I am giving you permission to pamper yourself.  Yes go ahead and take time out to have a long relaxing bath, or a massage or a facial or whatever it is that you like to do.

Take some time to focus on pleasing yourself.  I'm sure you've said it to friends many times, haven't you?  Well now it's your turn.

Here's some ideas

• Splash out on some delicious food.  Go to a restaurant you've always fancied, indulge in expensive chocolates.
• Spa treatment for a day - you are worth it and just think how relaxed and transformed you will feel.  You don't have to book into an expensive hotel, turn your own home into a spa for the day with relaxing candle, music and no children running around!
• Watch a DVD or go to the cinema
• Have a deeply relaxing Indian Head Massage

I'm regularly giving massage treatments to my family and rarely take time out for myself, so I'm going to take a leaf out of my own blog and have a lovely relaxing bath with my favourite Aloe Vera Bath salts and minerals.

Have fun,

Noelyne Jones

Overcome

A Message from Noelyne...

Do you have problems and challenges to address?  You won't be alone.  The key is to deal with them and in doing so you will empowre yourself and boost your feelings of self-worth.

The longer you bury your head in the sand the longer you are putting off having a happy and meaningful life.  Ignoring a porblem does sometimes work however, on the whole it's far better to deal with it as soon as possible and nip things in the bud before it gets out of hand.

There are few people who have not had to deal with problems or some sort of challenge, even famous people.  You only have to read biographies to find that out.  The knowledge that others have risen above adversity can be inspiring.

Mindset shift
Try this one on for size - Replace the word problem with challenge.  Sounds better and you are actually empowering yourself.  The language we use has an amazing effect on our daily lives so become aware of the sort of things you say to yourself.  Anthony Robbins in his Awaken the Giant within has a whole chapter on this.  As a Coach trained in NLP (Neuro Lingusitic Programming) I too am very aware of the sort of language that my clients use, which keep them stuck.

Never give up
Life is an incredible journey and the negative emotions are but a small part of it.  When you are in the middle of a painful time, it can be hard to remember that.  Just know that things will change and get better.  Believe in yourself.

My membership site will share many tips and techniques for overcoming life's struggles and problem.  All treid and tested by me.  Yes I too have many stories to tell. 

Enjoy the process of life,

Beautiful Skin Tips For Simple And Easy Skin Care

Almost all women can enjoy a beautiful, soft, supple, flawless and delicate skin. To have such wonderful skin each you should stay on the lookout for beautiful skin tips. And particularly as we grow older, it is all the more important to start immediately with a quality skin care regimen; if you haven't already done so.

Maintaining a clean, healthy and beautiful skin is vital to our self-esteem, confidence and even attitude. Possessing a beautiful skin is within the reach of each you if you are willing to utilise time practicing a skin care regimen, healthy eating habits and exercise plan.

Below are mentioned a few beautiful skin tips:-

* Wash your face twice a day. Avoid scrubbing your skin as your pores can over produce oils. Use an SPF facial moisturizer after you wash your face. Moisturizer is to be used to protect the skin from dryness. People possessing oily skin do not have to moisturize frequently as compared to those people who have dry, normal or combination skin. The perfect time to apply body moisturizer is immediately after a bath; as it pushes the moisture into our skin.

* The skin is to be adequately cleansed, so that it is kept properly toned and clean. Cleansing helps in eliminating the dust and stress from your face by cleaning the pores and circulating the blood supply. A gentle cleansing agent should be used.  I have tried many types of cleansers in my youth and always come back to Anne French.  As my skin is maturing I now also use my Aloe Vera Sonya Luxury skin care range once a week.

* A facial is also an important step towards attaining beautiful skin. Facials clean the face and eliminate the top dead layers of the skin; giving rise to a beautiful and glowing skin. Facials further treat symptoms of dark patches, acne, and help in skin color restoration and skin toning.

* Care of lips too should be taken. Apply a high quality lip balm on your lips so that the lips can be kept softer, plumper, and healthier.

* Use a wet pumice stone/heel scraper on the heels and other rough areas of your feet. Use body scrubs to slough off the dead skin. Loofahs and body sponges also help in sloughing off the rough and dead skin which hides the newer skin beneath.

* Plenty of water consumption is essential, as by just hydrating your body, you will observe immediate improvement in the quality of your skin. Excessive water consumption is helpful in flushing toxins out of the body and in keeping the complexion clear and glowing. However, caution should be used to ensure we don't drink to much water. As doing so could reduce our potassium to a dangerous level, which in turn could lead to heart failure and other health problems.

* Get plenty of sleep. Lack of sleep creates unhealthy disorder in every part of our body.

* A healthy and balanced diet should be consumed for attaining beautiful skin. The balanced diet should consist of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, low fat milk, wheat or rye bread and other appropriate healthy foods, as determine by you and your doctor.

* Follow a proper exercise program, which you and your doctor determine is safe for you. Exercise increases the heart rate and of course this leads to better blood circulation directly to your skin tissue.

* Protect your skin, when you go out in the sun with ultraviolet sunscreens with SPF 15 or greater. Further protect your skin from sun damage, skin cancer, aging and premature wrinkles by reduced exposure of the skin to the sun. with the proper clothing

Following the above mentioned simple and easy beautiful skin tips can help you and I, in keeping our skin clear, beautiful and healthy.

How do I relieve Knee swelling

A Message from Noelyne...

I view of the fact that I injured my knee on a recent ski-ing holiday.  First serious injury in 28 years of ski-ing!  I happened to find this article on How to Relieve Knee swelling which I thought I would share.  I'll explain what I did at the end.

How Do I Relieve Knee Swelling
The following information is a guide only. If any conditions persist then seek medical attention immediately.

If you want to relieve knee swelling then the information in this article could help you. Knee swelling is a common injury that most doctors see on a regular basis. It can be caused by a number of things from over exertion to arthritis and usually treated using anti inflammatory tablets. But more and more people are looking at alternative techniques to help relieve knee problems.

Causes

There are many causes of knee swelling but here are a few of the more common causes.

• Ligament or muscle tears
• Arthritis
• Infections
• Excessive exercising

Symptoms
A swollen knee and pain are usually the first symptoms one feels when you injure the knee, bruising is another symptom you should look out for. If there is fluid on or around the knee then it will be red and warm to the touch. Your knee will also be stiff and difficult to bend and generally be painful.

Help is at Hand

Help is available to help relieve knee swelling, and it can take a number of guises but all with the same end result, to alleviate the pain and swelling you have in your knee.

Usually with a swollen knee a course of anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin will help to relieve the knee of the swelling and pain, but nowadays more and more people are turning to natural remedies to aid them in reducing and relieving the pain and swelling.

The first thing you should do to relieve knee swelling is rest the injured knee and to elevate it so that if there is any fluid on the knee it can drain away.

Take an ice pack or ice cubes and put them inside a sealable plastic bag then wrap the ice into a towel and place it onto the knee. Never place ice directly to the skin as this causes burns.

A good anti inflammatory drug is called Bromelain. Made from pineapples and turned into capsules so it can easily be taken, Bromelain is excellent against any type of swelling on the body. It has other benefits too and one is that it is good for the digestive system.

Stay off the injured knee for as long as possible so that you can relieve knee swelling but if you must move about then use crutches to help you.

This advice is just that, advice and should not in any way replace any medical care and attention you should seek If your symptoms persist over a few days.

A Whole New Way

If you want to relieve knee swelling then there are many ways in which that is possible with natural remedies being the number one choice for most people. Many are available from a great many places, you might even have some in the kitchen, try them and see what a difference they can do to help you and your swollen knee.



Here's what I did

Firstly I already drink Aloe Vera Gel every day and this aids healing by up to three times the normal rate.

I got a friend to get a shovel full of snow in a Sainsbury's carrier bag.
Had a shower, rubbed Aloe MSM gel into the knee and elevated it with the snow pack placed on the knee.
Took ibuprofen.


Skied all day long the following day (not recommended)
Continued to take Aloe Vera and MSM Gel on the knee. 
Took it easy the following week once I was back home.

Knee still a little stiff so exercising very gently to get it back to normal.


All the Best,

Noelyne Jones

Nutrition

A Message from Noelyne...

Food is your body's fuel, so make sure you are running on four star.  Give your body the best food that you can afford and it will reward you with better performance.
Action

• Eat 5 portions of Fruit and Veg every day - This sounds a lot however, can be incorporated into every diet.  Try fruit with your cereals in the morning, a salad with lunch, and piles of veg for tea.  Tinned and frozen are a good way of getting your quota as are fruit juices.
• Reduce sugar intake - Lose the cakes, biscuits, chocolate and additional sugar on food.  When you eat plenty of fruit you will naturally get enough sugar and eventually your body will lose the craving.
• Enjoy! Eat a variety of food to give your 9000 taste buds a good work out.

Have fun,

Noelyne
