I think there are very few of us who haven’t experienced bloating and gut discomfort at times. Bloating to excess can be extremely uncomfortable and painful. If it happens consistently, I would recommend consulting a doctor as it can be a sign of gut issues. SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) can cause severe bloating, as can dysbiosis (an imbalance of …
As per your many requests, I sit down with my husband, Michael Brandon, to take you through a short 10 minute meditation. You can sit on a chair or sofa, with uncrossed legs and feet on the ground, with your back upright (not slouched) or you can lie down on the floor or your bed. If you’re flexible with good …
Other people have always been much more interested in my age than I am – I was even labelled a ‘vintage vixen’ at 40 – so, as I turn 70, I expect it will be brought up constantly in the press. Despite thinking of age as a phase, rather than a number, I’m reflecting on what this birthday means to …
Have you heard of Fulvic Acid? I’ve used the fabulous Fulvic Acid shampoo by Victoria Health but was unaware of it as a supplement. Shabir Daya, pharmacist at Victoria Health, explains why we all need to know about it’s many benefits. He has also created a supplement that harnesses the power of Fulvic Acid in his DoSe range: IoniCell by …
I do love a supplement. I think they’re an important part of a healthy lifestyle. The world is now so full of pollutants both inside and outside our homes, on your foods and in the air we breathe, that our bodies have much to deal with. Added to that, the soil in which our foods grow, has been much depleted. …
It may seem odd that I’m writing about dating and dating apps on Ageless. specially as a married woman, and as it’s not obviously a health issue, but I think it’s incredibly apt. I’m interested in every aspect of a woman’s life as she navigates through life “Navigating” is the key word. If you’re not navigating one thing, it’s another. …
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 …
