I have to admit that tongue scraping is not something I’ve even thought about, never mind tried. However, Shabir Daya, pharmacist at Victoria Health, has convinced me otherwise. Who knew the benefits that could be had? What I did know, is that oral health is now recognised as being incredibly important. Our overall wellbeing is connected to it, as poor …
Here is my latest article as seen in Hello magazine. I look at the role our mental attitude plays in how we age, as I think it’s the most important factor of all. And the person who has it down to a fine art is Dame Joan Collins. She has long been my inspiration for how to age with pizazz. …
I started writing for Hello magazine exactly a year ago. The idea was to write about health and beauty just as I do for Ageless. However, they’ve sometimes given me something a bit different to write about. Fashion seems to be becoming a regular feature I was somewhat taken aback when my first fashion article for them proved to be …
When it comes to health, sleep is one of the most important factors, and yet, disturbed sleep and sleep deprivation have become a major issue for many people. It’s no surprise, however, as we live in a world that makes good sleep almost impossible. We are surrounded by sleep disruptors The blue light from all our devices is the same light …
I’m changing my approach to travel – and implore you to do the same I’ve always loved to travel; from immersing myself in unfamiliar cultures, to visiting the great historical sites of the world, to chilling on a white powdery beach and swimming in azure seas. To my mind, travel is one of the great adventures of life. My husband …
I was so excited to be approached by the Lorraine show to do some filming around my favourite subjects – health and beauty. My instruction was not to talk in general, but to tell people specifically what I personally do to stay fit and healthy. We ended up making three short films on the subjects I consider to be the …
People regularly ask me what my biggest beauty secret is. While I often say that exercise is the closest thing there is to an anti-ageing pill, there is another factor that supersedes all others when it comes to looking and feeling fresh – sleep. Sleep is not a passive activity It’s a time when our brain is repairing and replenishing …
Over the last few years, the immense significance of the gut has been more understood. It’s often referred to as the “second brain” as it’s now known to contain as many neurotransmitters as the brain, if not more. The gut has a significant effect on our mental wellbeing It also holds great importance for our immunity. If you are prone …
I am a self-confessed chatterbox. In fact, people often comment on how much I talk. I’m not alone in this. Women are frequently told they talk more than men. In fact, scientists believe that on average, women speak around 20,000 words a day, whereas men speak a paltry 7,000. And while being told we talk too much might not be …
Exercise is one of the greatest things we can do for both our health and our mental well being. But it’s not always easy to find the time in our busy lives to do it consistently. This, often coupled with a lack of motivation, can lead to us doing little or no exercise at all. Say hello to exercise snacking …
Today there’s much talk about health span as opposed to longevity. It’s the amount of time we remain healthy in our lives, with a good quality of living. A very good thing to aspire to. There’s so much we can do to improve our health and therefore our health span. Just about everything I talk about on Ageless is geared …
I share the supplements I take to stay well I’ve always been a believer in active self-care. I began taking ownership of my health in my twenties and embarked on an organic diet and healthy lifestyle. People scoffed at me for eating organically at the time as they couldn’t see the point. Organic vegetables have the same nutritional content as …
