Style Ilse

I can, hands up, say that during winter I am not very adventurous with colour, despite my preaching of the importance of brightening up your wardrobe. Yep, I am guilty. But of all the colours I think I could deal with, darker shades of blue are completely doable with my existing closet, and honestly, I am talking about navy. Navy is a rich and luxurious shade and is so easy to wear and wear well. My preference is for blazers, which can make any bright colour dress or top look timeless rather than trendy.

Lose two stone in ten weeks

Thu, Oct 25, 2012

There are three keys to a genuine weight loss (real fat loss) plan — diet, exercise, and metabolism correction. All three keys interconnect — one will not work without the other.

Your metabolism is the most powerful of the three keys — it is the switch that controls everything else. In most people this switch is off. Metabolism problems like slow thyroid, type 2 diabetes, sluggish liver, hormone imbalances, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility, and digestive problems such as constipation, IBS, and diverticulitis will limit or stop your weight loss, no matter how much dieting or exercise you do.

Acupuncture needling out your ailments

Thu, Oct 18, 2012

Acupuncture is a Chinese treatment therapy that can combat different diseases and is a well regarded alleviator of pain. According to the Chinese medicine theory, there are energy pathways called meridians that flow through your body. The moment there is a blockage of their path it results in health related issues. When needles are inserted in the areas that need to be treated, which influence the energy flow through the meridians, they can restore your body’s natural rhythm to relieve the pain.

Recent research shows positive results for people who were treated through acupuncture for post surgery pain and chemotherapy. Acupuncture is helpful in treating patients rehabilitating from a stroke as it helps the patient in relearning the skills lost due to the effect of stroke. Acupuncture is also very useful for treating patients of osteoarthritis. In this health issue the cartilage and the tissue breaks down that cushion for the joints and recent study also indicates that knee pain can be reduced by acupuncture.
