Happy 2013 everyone!
How are you all feeling after the festivities?..
Have you, like mostly everyone else been over indulging and are maybe now feeling a bit sluggish? Well before you go mad and start on that rigid dieting programme, take a moment to remember, at this time of year a bit of extra body weight is not such a bad thing.
All animals tend to gain a few pounds over these cold winter months...it's natural! Think about it- if you suddenly start dieting and cutting down on all those vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, your immune system could go into crisis!...and we all know what happens then.. colds, flu etc
Why not be realistic and start gently, steadily cutting a back a little each week.
It is a season that we naturally tend to hibernate more and exercise less! Our lymphatic system becomes sluggish (do you notice crease marks and puffiness on your face ,legs and waist areas?) and any weight we have put on is more difficult to lose!
You can help give your lymphatic system a boost by massaging with a dry, natural bristle body brush.
Dry body brushing will help stimulate the circulatory system and bring much needed nutrients to the surface of the skin, to help repair and feed it. With regular use you will notice your skin looking healthier,brighter and clearer, with less imperfections. And any discomfort due to oedema and puffiness will be lessened.
Starting from the soles of your feet and working up towards your heart area, work the brush in circular movements followed by long sweeping movements, covering every part of your body. The movements should be light and quick, don't worry if the skin goes slightly red, as this is a good sign that the circulation is getting a well needed boost!

By making this a part of your daily routine, you will soon notice and feel the difference. Your skin will be visibly healthier, clearer and softer. Water retention will be less of a problem and because you are giving the circulatory system a boost, that in turn will help speed up your metabolisim...so losing those extra inches will be easier!
So this New Year, why not try working with your body and nature and see what happens!
