Keep Moving, Forget the Diet<br />

Prevent yourself from piling on<br />

the pounds with the culinary<br />

excesses of the festive season by<br />

finding time to commit to a new<br />

routine before Christmas.<br />

The British Dietetic Association<br />

advises moderation to keep<br />

weight at the right level. That<br />

may mean an adjustment to your<br />

lifestyle, calorie intake and the way<br />

you think.<br />

Stick to regular meals times,<br />

reduced portion sizes, takeaways<br />

and sweet treats – often too<br />

tempting. Increased activity<br />

levels will make it easier to stay<br />

motivated as your energy levels,<br />

outlook and mood will improve.<br />

You do have time. Swap the car<br />

for walking or cycling to work or<br />

Get the Look<br />

the shops at least 3 times a week.<br />

Mix your exercise and encourage<br />

a friend to join you.<br />

Join a local gym where trainers<br />

will find quirky ways to support<br />

you in the quest to keep your<br />

weight off. Remember exercise<br />

isn’t just about weight loss – it<br />

supports motivation and boosts<br />

your mood. Happy eating this<br />

Christmas!<br />

There is no shortage of<br />

variety with make-up<br />

trends this season.<br />

Wintry, fresh-faced looks<br />

with pale foundations,<br />

natural bronzed cheeks<br />

and nude lips are back. Lip<br />

stains give a matte, undone<br />

finish while gloss offers a<br />

youthful, feminine look.<br />

Party looks should<br />

be dramatic, bold or<br />

colourful. Black eye-liners<br />

shout decadence – a<br />

sophisticated 60s flick or<br />

water-lined eyes. Shades of blue lead the way for colour, although<br />

harmonies work too. Smudge and blend well for the smokey-eyed look.<br />

Crystals, silver accents or glitter radiate indulgence. Hollywood glamour<br />

is achieved with reds. Marry both trends to create a contrasting and<br />

original look that shows off your confidence.<br />

<strong>Local</strong> beauticians can help with your look, as well as a skincare routine.<br />

Simple<br />

Steps<br />

1. Boost your immune system<br />

Avoid stress – take time out to<br />

relax.<br />

Sleep – at least 8 hours a night<br />

repairs cells and builds your<br />

immune system.<br />

Eat well – lots of fruit and<br />

vegetables.<br />

Exercise – regular moderate<br />

activity strengthens your heart<br />

and immunity.<br />

2. Prevent germs taking hold<br />

Wash your hands – before a<br />

meal, after using the bathroom,<br />

after sneezing, coughing blowing<br />

nose.<br />

Clean – desks, phones, computers,<br />

pens etc.<br />

Hands away – from food, your<br />

nose and mouth.<br />
