Ground Breaking news for dry,scaly winter skin:Checkout
Vegesorb!
ENVIRONMENTAL
factors play havoc on ALL skin types and never more
so than during our cold and windy winters. Then, air-conditioning,
heaters, electric blankets and a slowing down daily
of our water intake compound the problem and we are
left with dry, parched and dehydrated skin susceptible
to infection and early ageing.
Clever marketing has convinced us that if a product
smells and feels good when applied then it must be doing
some long term good for our body's protective and largest
organ. But skin is a pathway to our internal being and
we need to ask ourselves, "WOULD I EAT PETRO-CHEMICALS
or would I feel safe consuming this skincare?" The answer
for most of us would be, "No."
It is not difficult for skincare manufacturers to disguise
an inferior product by the addition of silicones (skin
smoothing agents) or emollients (skin softeners) and
put a sophisticated price and label on the product.
Mineral or paraffin oils are added to creams and sold
for cheap prices as moisturisers however these mineral
additives are foreign to the skin and hence form a "barrier"
on the surface.
BUT NOW there is a skincare product made from VEGETABLE
oils that are compatible with ALL skin types, is highly
absorbable and highly affordable.
Highly effective (and environmentally responsible),
VEGESORB, is readily absorbed into the skin and moisturises
from inside out. This restores balance to ALL skins
so that naturally occurring lipids provide the ongoing
nutrients and lubrication for a glowing and healthy
complexion.
Forget "hypoallergenic" in the context of sensitive
skin alone and retrain your concept of skincare towards
a logical solution of using bio-chemically available
vegetable oils for skin and mineral oils for inanimate
objects such as motor cars. With only a subtle difference
in price, this decision will not be difficult to make.
Take the case of Jenny Williams of Narwee, NSW who uses
Vegesorb on her one year old son, Daniel, who is an
eczema sufferer (…"extremely sore, rough and red skin…").
"I have now found a skin moisturiser, (after trialling
all main brands on the market), to help with his skin
condition. Thank you, VEGESORB," his mother writes.
Speaking from a recently conducted AGED CARE SYMPOSIUM
in Brisbane, Jan Burguez, Aromatherapist, had this to
say about VEGESORB. "This is a revolutionary product,
an unsung hero that has everything any body needs in
a skincare product. Sensitive, dry, damaged, and injured
skin can only benefit from this breakthrough product.
Bed sores and decubitis ulcers can be assisted with
this product with the addition of prescribed essential
oils. My clients in the aged care sector especially
have made their own decisions to switch brands and they're
sticking with VEGESORB. If people try it, they will
buy it This has got what it takes to do the job at hand."
The Eczema Association of Australia Inc also writes,
"…we have no hesitation in acknowledging their (VEGESORB
AUST. P/L) commitment to the production of quality products."
For daily use as a preventative against environmental
factors or for treatment of dry and scaly skin conditions,
VEGESORB is Australia's best value moisturiser.
Wholly Australian owned and manufactured VEGESORB is
available at selected pharmacies, health food stores
and direct by contacting Managing Director, Neale Scott
on (07) 3885 2882, or visiting the website: www.vegesorb.com.au.

Exercise
Recovery
The
dilemma facing any recreational athlete, is how much
recovery is needed. Many of us do not factor recovery
into our programs. This can lead to problems such as
overtraining, injury, sickness, decrease in performance
or motivation. One can get quite attached to the rigours
of hard training, and I guess the fear of resting and
losing what you have gained (substantial fat loss, increases
in fitness,muscle mass and strength) are enough to keep
you training. News flash. Athletes rest, so should you.
Recovery is important because it allows the body to
heal and adapt to the work 'you' put it through. So
if you are a bit flat or run down from training, you
might need to take some time off.
So how much recovery do I need?
That depends on how much and how hard you have been
training . If you are a particularly intuitive trainer
you may do this by 'feel'. A basic approach which athletes
use is as follows-
After a quality training program lasting 8 - 12 weeks,
have between 7 - 10 days off. This does not mean sleep
on a couch for 10 days, but take a break from the intense
work the body has been doing. The recovery period would
still consist of flexibility work and gentle forms of
activity. You are not trying to improve your fitness
during this period.
For example , a person who runs 5 days per week(30 -
60 mins each session) , would benefit from having a
week off running and exercise only 3 times in the week
using activities different than running (surfing, bike
riding, walking, golf plus stretching etc) at an effort
level below that of which they regularly train.
Learn the value of recovery and you may find that your
training improves out of sight.

A Mothers Touch: Infant Massage!
Mothers
now more than ever are searching for a natural alternative
to help improve their infant's health. Whether it is
because mothers are increasingly time poor, disillusioned
with modern medicine or looking for a complimentary
method, infant massage is one solution helping new and
expecting mothers be more in tune with the health of
their newborn.
The first recorded episode of infant massage occurred
during the Egyptian Empire and continues to be practiced
in most Eastern European and Asian cultures. Infant
massage in the western world has only recently been
discovered and introduced to the wider community. Certified
instructors can help parents discover the lifelong benefits
of nurturing touch through infant massage. Research
shows that daily baby massage will help prevent and
relieve colic, strengthen the immune system, stimulate
respiration, circulation, digestion and elimination.
Massage for pre term infants has shown extremely positive
results. Findings in a recent study conducted by Dr
Tiffany Field, Director of the Touch Research Institute,
found pre term infants improved weight gain (47%), improved
responsiveness and had an earlier discharge from hospital.
A Mother's Touch aims to provide parents with access
to quality training in infant massage and its associated
benefits in a safe, professional and caring atmosphere.
