WINTER
WELLNESS
With the chilly winter weather well and
truly here, here from our experts for
keeping your health and wellness goals
on track this season.
HEALTHY SKIN
With Dr Linda from Artisan Aesthetic
Clinics
“As much as I love a cosy winter
morning curled up with a coffee and
the paper, the cooler weather can
definitely wreak havoc with our skin.
Two ways I recommend to combat
winter is to look at hydrating facials
and beauty boosters. Professional
in-clinic treatments such as our DMK
Enzyme facial will penetrate deep
within the skin, detoxifying, hydrating
and producing healthy new skin cells.
Beauty Boosters containing hyaluronic
acid are a great go to for retaining
moisture in the skin. These tiny
injections instantly plump and hydrate
the skin for a refreshed look.”
NUTRITION
With Laura Ford, Dietitian, Jenny Craig
“As the months get colder, you may
find that you start to crave your
favourite winter comfort foods. While
there’s nothing wrong with the
occasional comforting treat, there are
plenty of nourishing winter foods you
can include that will keep you warm
and satisfied during the cooler months.
To help you make wise choices over
the winter, be sure to include plenty
of fruit and veggies in your day, stay
hydrated by drinking water and
herbal teas and if you’ve been craving
a certain comfort food, enjoy it! Just
have a small portion, eat mindfully and
remember to load up your plate with
non-starchy veggies too.”
Balance your body, soul & mind with these great buys:
MINDFULNESS
With Nalini from The Floating Lotus
“Even though it’s tempting to stay
under the covers, the best way to
stay warm and healthy in winter is
to move your body. Yoga and Pilates
are both great ways to keep the body
functioning and can be done indoors.
When the weather is good though, be
sure to get out into the sun for a dose
of Vitamin D to regulate your immune
system and help ward off the winter
blues.
The way we breathe can affect our
physical and mental health. Because
it happens automatically, it can be
easy to forget about but the deeper
your breath, the more nourished and
relaxed you will feel. If you find yourself
feeling anxious, unfocussed or flat,
take 5 mindful breaths, inhaling and
exhaling smoothly for a count of 5.”
