“Let food be your medicine, let medicine be your food”
– Hippocrates, Greek philosopher, born 460 BC.
Do we really gain weight as we age?
That would be a resounding YES!
If you don’t watch your food portion and if fitness is not part of your life … you might be looking at a weight gain of two kg (almost four-and-a-half pounds) every two years. Just in case, men thought this was yet another girl thing … it’s not. Men will also gain their fair share of two kg every two years.
For most women, dieting is something most of us (if not all of us) have tried at least once in our lives. What might not be as well documented is that three out of 10 men will resort to dieting to manage their weight as they age, but only three out of 20 of them will be honest and open about it.
It’s official: The pressures of body image is officially genderless!

Beauty Quiz: Hollywood and cosmetic rejuvenation
Ojon restored my severely damaged hair
*** Embrace the NEW year ***
A year and-a-half ago, I was finishing a long day of work and decided to do some channel surfing before heading to bed.
I often land on The Shopping Channel (TSC) because truth be told I LOVE watching that channel. I love seeing the numbers go up as people get on the phone to order the featured products. Well, at 1:30 am on a Sunday morning, I was the one frantically trying to get my order in for the “show stopper”. After watching Denis Simioni and his wife explain the amazing benefits of Ojon®’s Restorative Hair Treatment, I NEEDED to get my hands on this product.
You see, my hair hand suffered in the hands of a former hairdresser and I had purchased pretty much every product I could get my hands on to restore my hair to its former glorious state.

Thanks to a couple of very ingenious companies, there is no such thing as “missing a training session with your trainer” because you can now take your training sessions and workouts with you on your favourite MP3 player, mobile phone or your PDA and workout when ever it’s most convenient for you.

Do you suffer from severely dry skin in the winter?
It’s officially winter (and most likely it’s going to be a very long one)!
Alas, we undoubtedly deal with dry and even severely dry skin in the winter. If you’ve not been able to find a cream that helps you through the year’s harshest months, you might want to consider Atopalm. This concentrated formula has been specifically formulated for sensitive and dry skin. A scientific combination of ingredients including pseudo-ceramide, fatty acids and cholesterol relieves the discomfort of dry skin and strengthen the skin’s own barrier function while providing essential moisture.
Since I had never heard of the effectiveness of pseudo-ceramides before, I asked one of the distributors of Atopalm to explain the benefits in further detail.
