여름이 돌아왔어요

올해도 벌써 여름이 오고 있네요. 강렬한 태양 아래 시원한 해변가를 거닐며 수영하고픈 마음이 절로 생각날 때입니다.

이럴 때 꼭 기억해야 되는 사실!

햇빛과 땀, 썬크림 등에 많이 노출되는 여름에 우리 피부를 더 잘 관리해 줘야 하는 건 꼭 명심하셔야 겠죠~!

여름에 우리 피부는 햇빛과 환경오염원으로부터 끊임없는 공격을 받습니다. 이러한 결과로 피부가 손상되고 탄력이 떨어지며 노화가 진행되면서 여러 피부 반점과 발진들이 생기게 됩니다.

헬스2000코리아에서 판매하는 레디언스 에이지레스 뷰티 콜라겐은 피부재생과 수분 공급을 위해 연구된 강력한 항산화제로, 피부를 내외부로부터 보호해 주며 미세한 주름을 예방하고 피부 재생을 촉진시킵니다.

레디언스 에이지레스 뷰티 콜라겐은 뉴질랜드산 해양 콜라겐과 히알루론산으로 구성되어 있는데요, 이에 대해 잠시 살펴볼까요?

콜라겐

피부에 가장 풍부한 단백질인 콜라겐은 힘과 탄력을 제공하는데요, 이 콜라겐이 없어지거나 감소하면 피부에 주름이 생기고 탄력을 잃게 됩니다.

뉴질랜드산 해양콜라겐은 피부 내 스폰지 역할을 하는 글리코사미노글리칸 이라고 하는 분자를 공급하여 피부의 유연성과 탄력성을 유지하도록 합니다.

히알루론산

피부의 수분 유지에 중요한 역할을 하는 히알루론산은 콜라겐 섬유에 영양분을 공급함으로써, 피부 탄력을 유지하고 피부의 보습 능력이 최적화되도록 유지시켜 줍니다.

에이지리스 뷰티는 뉴질랜드 키위 열매 껍질과 포도씨에서 추출한 독특한 추출물인 Vinanza® 성분도 함유하고 있습니다. 이 성분은 피부 탄력성을 지원하고 피부 발진을 관리하여 깨끗하고 아름다운 피부를 형성하는 데 도움을 줍니다.

또한 뉴질랜드의 깨끗한 소나무숲에서 얻은 Enzogenol® 성분은 건강한 콜라겐을 보호하고 피부 세포 손상을 방지해주는 강력한 항산화제입니다.

이 외에 비타민 C와 E, 그리고 미네랄인 실리카와 아연, 셀레늄 등이 함유되어 피부의 보호 및 재생을 지원합니다.

Summertime skincare

It is easy to forget your skin when you’re thinking about sunshine, swimming and the beach, but it’s timely to remember that your skin is your largest organ and is exposed to the elements every single day. It is vital to take care of your skin – especially when you are exposed to more sunlight, sweat and barrier creams.

Your skin is constantly bombarded as it comes into contact with sunlight and pollutants. It has a hard job protecting you against the damaging effects of your daily environment. Over time, your skin’s resilience declines and incremental damage leaves its mark as tell-tale signs of ageing, sun spots and heat rash.

 

Radiance Ageless Beauty protects skin from the inside, out, optimising appearance by targeting fine lines and wrinkles and promoting skin regeneration. Its unique, unparalleled formula combines sustainably-sourced New Zealand marine collagen and hyaluronic acid, two potent, researched antioxidants for skin renewal and hydration.

 

Collagen, the most abundant protein within your skin, provides strength and resilience. It is the degradation of collagen that leads to wrinkles and loss of firmness. Marine collagen also provides molecules called glycosaminoglycans which act like sponges, holding water in your skin for health and suppleness.

 

Hyaluronic acid plays a critical role in maintaining your skin’s moisture levels. It supports optimal collagen levels by nourishing collagen fibres to sustain skin elasticity and firmness, whilst optimising your skin’s ability hold water.

Ageless Beauty also contains Vinanza® skin performance plus, a unique extract derived from New Zealand kiwifruit skins and grape seeds. Vinanza® is scientifically studied and shown to support optimal skin elasticity, manage skin redness, and promote a clear, beautiful complexion. Enzogenol® from New Zealand’s sustainable, pristine pine forests is a potent antioxidant shown to protect healthy collagen and support against skin cell damage.

 

These powerful ingredients are accompanied by vitamins C and E, alongside minerals silica, zinc and selenium. These nutrients are required to build, protect and regenerate skin.

 

Whatever your lifestyle, maintain your beautiful appearance without a fuss. Protect, regenerate and glow from the inside, out with Ageless Beauty.

The balance between good and bad

By Ben Smyth The festive season now seems to have extended from late November with work parties, catching up with friends, kids’ school and extracurricular events all happening earlier to fit in before Christmas! Then it extends until the end of January with school holidays and time off work.

Where you may have been really good before with your diet, you may tend to relax your attitude to certain foods and increase your overall food intake over Christmas and New Year, and justify it as, “Hey, it’s Christmas!”

For a small amount of time, you can usually cope with feeling full all the time and putting up with the odd digestive issue, but six to eight weeks of poor eating might kick start indigestion, reflux, bloating, and just not feeling well in general.

This has become the new norm. It’s not easy to be strict with your diet at this time!

During the festive season, you may need extra digestive support to assist for when you overeat or overindulge in foods that don’t regularly agree with you. Taking a broad-spectrum, high-dose probiotic on a daily basis can help to repopulate beneficial flora, as your gut flora may be disrupted with an increased intake of rich, processed foods.

Lighthouse Probiotic 75 Billion contains 12 well-researched strains of beneficial bacteria that help restore and maintain a healthy gut flora balance to support digestive and immune health.

This high-dose formula contains colony forming units which are active, live organisms capable of living under the proper circumstances and forming beneficial colonies, contained within a delayed-release vege capsule that is resistant to the acidic environment found in your stomach and small intestine.

Delayed-release vege capsules help provide efficient delivery of the probiotics within your intestinal tract to their target area, keeping the capsule intact for longer.

  • Be a little more prepared so you choose carefully from what’s on offer.
  • Eat before you go to an event so you are not as tempted.
  • Mentally set some limits – treat yourself, but be accountable for your choices and allow a balance of treats and healthy choices.

     

Always read the label and take as directed. If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare professional. Lighthouse Health Distributors Limited, Hamilton.

Feeling stuffy this spring?

영문원본

Feeling stuffy this spring?

It is the time of the year when the weather is getting warmer. The trees and flowers are blooming, but pollen-loaded plants are a nightmare for many New Zealanders. Unfortunately, these people have an unusual reaction to allergens like pollen, which would normally be a harmlessly-inhaled substance.

For many, these unusual reactions start when they are children, most often developing before the age of 10 years. The exception to this may be pregnancy where women often become more sensitive to their environment. Signs of sensitivity may be irritation in your eyes and nose and the frequent need for tissues.

All of this is due to an immune system imbalance, where your immune system gets confused and starts to react to normal things in your environment. When an environmental substance, like pollen, is inhaled and comes into contact with the walls of your nasal passages, your body sees it as a foreign body.

When looking for support in this area, it is often difficult to find solutions that are suitable for children, women who are pregnant and breastfeeding, and those taking medications.

This is where Clinicians AllerStop comes in. This unique, fast-acting, chewable tablet works within 15 minutes. The tablets come in a handy foil pack, which makes them easy to pop in your bag in case of sudden allergen issues.

AllerStop is a one-of-a kind, natural solution providing immediate support, but how does it work? Containing only one active ingredient, AllerStop’s secret to success is a special ovomucoid protein from quail eggs. Quail eggs are notably smaller than duck and chicken eggs, but have a nutritional value four times higher than the latter and present superior protein quality.

The ancient Chinese were among the first to discover the health benefits of quail eggs, but centuries later in the early 1970s, a French doctor observed that farmers raising a particular species of Japanese quail seemed to have better tolerance to allergens.

Since then, a more scientific approach has been taken with several supporting studies to create AllerStop. Studies show the quail proteins provide support by coming between the offending allergen and your nasal linings, so they don’t provoke your immune system.

Since AllerStop is such a natural product, it is suitable for children three years and older, and for long-term use for people who react to environmental substances like dust, pets, and mould all year round. So, if you are looking for a well-tolerated product for all the family as spring and summer arrive, try Clinicians AllerStop.

Did you know? AllerStop contains quail egg powder which comes between irritants before they affect your nasal tissues.

Always read the label and take as directed. If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare professional. Douglas Pharmaceuticals Limited, Auckland.

Fire your cells into spring

Fire your cells into spring

By Ben Smyth, Naturopath

Spring is now in its second month! While it may still feel cooler, the days are getting lighter. If you are still in hibernation mode after winter, now is the time to shake off the cold weather inactivity.

It’s the classic time of the year to look at spring cleaning your body and changing your diet to more seasonal options. Now is a great time to step up your activity or start back up again.

“What can you take for energy?” is one of the most frequently asked questions in Health 2000 stores, and the answer can vary for each person. Once you consider and adjust the main lifestyle contributors like diet, hydration, healthy sleep and minimising stress, you can add some supplementation to assist in producing and sustaining energy levels while you start your new exercise routine.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a supplement that can be taken daily to combat energy loss and general fatigue. It is a vitamin-like compound that all cells need to make energy. This production of energy occurs in your mitochondria – the power generators in your cells – and acts as nature’s ‘spark plug.’

CoQ10 is produced within your body. However, this process peaks in your twenties and then drops off quite rapidly as you age. The level of CoQ10 in each of your main organs – your liver, kidney, lungs and heart – declines at a different rate with your heart having about 42 percent by the age of 80. With this lack of production and the rapid decline, it’s no wonder that waning energy levels are an issue as you age.

Supplementing with CoQ10 can top up your levels and slow the decline of this vital nutrient, increasing energy production and its antioxidant protection. As CoQ10 assists in producing cellular energy and intense exercise has been shown to reduce CoQ10 levels, many athletes supplement with CoQ10 as part of their nutritional regime to support performance, muscle function, and rapid recovery post training.

As a powerful antioxidant formula, Lighthouse CoQ10 350mg supports energy production while increasing your absorption of other essential nutrients. It is shown to help recycle vitamins C and E, further maximising the effects of vitamins and antioxidants that are already at work in your body. In addition to CoQ10, this formula contains vitamin D3 which studies suggest may also assist in improving muscle function and fatigue. Vitamin D3 also provides support for your cardiovascular and immune system, absorption of calcium, and a healthy mood.

CoQ10 is beneficial for:

  • High-performance athletes
  • The ageing population
  • Those taking statins
  • Those with a family history of heart issues.
