How to make

VITAMINS work for you

AUGUST

HELLO! This edition of Live+ highlights the theme of “showing yourself some love”.

This phrase means different things to each of us, but for me it’s about eating a healthy, balanced diet, some outdoor exercise (usually running or cycling) to clear my head and improve my physical health and spending time with friends and family to re-energise.

A quick glance at the latest news reminds us that now is the time to focus on self-care. Take a minute to ask yourself the following questions (truly, take a minute, set a timer). Where do you gain your energy from? What makes you happy and healthy? How do you care for yourself currently, and how can you do it even better?

Amongst the health advice in this edition, I’d like to highlight the importance of Vitamin D as many Australians are unknowingly deficient.

Vitamin D is more of a hormone than a vitamin and is essential to our health in many important ways. As the ‘sunshine vitamin’, many of us may be deficient if we don’t spend much time outside, have darker skin or live in an area that doesn’t experience much sunlight. Vitamin D deficiency in the elderly is a particularly big problem. Vitamin D is my highlighted self-care vitamin as it boosts immunity and reduces depression - in fact, spending some time outside to boost your vitamin D levels is selfcare in itself! Think about where you get your Vitamin D from. Is it enough for your self-care?

If you’re not sure – ask your Pharmacist.

Self-care for you may also involve some pampering. Let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good face mask, mani or pedi! There are some great beauty snippets in this issue with a compilation of current trends and advice on nourishing your body. The great news is you can do all of these things in the comfort of your own home if you wish.

So, sit back, relax, take a little ‘me’ time and enjoy the August edition of Live+. As always, for more health tips and information see the Alive Pharmacy Warehouse website, Facebook page or see one of our trained staff in store.

Happy August!

Relax + REFRESH We all go through periods of lacking energy and current world events have left a lot of us feeling drained. It can be hard to cope with as we have come to accept it is a part of our lifestyle. As a result, you may suffer from tiredness along with headaches, muscle and joint pain, loss of memory or poor concentration. The severity of these symptoms varies for everyone and there are different approaches that are useful for anyone who might what to overcome this or avoid reaching an extreme stage of fatigue.

Slow down, take a moment to breathe. Meditation is a habitual process of training your mind to focus and redirect your thoughts. Practicing meditation can help you reduce stress, control anxiety, promote emotional health and enhance self-awareness. Utilising essential oils while meditating can support and enhance the meditation experience. Different aromas work differently for everyone.

Popular essential oils are lavender, ylang ylang and sage.

There are also essential oil blends available if a single essential oil does suit you. They can be used in topical application, a diffuser or candle where the oil is placed in a small bowl above a candle that warms the oil then diffuses the oil’s aroma.

Sleep is an important piece of the puzzle that is your health Sometimes our nervous system could use a little help. In times of stress our body attempts to maintain balance by producing the stress hormones adrenalin and cortisol.

This response helps our bodies to adapt. Prolonged stress response can result in nervous tension, unrest and fatigue.

We can use a natural compound, ‘adaptogen’, to reduce our body’s symptoms of stress and nervous tension.

Ashwagandha is a known ‘adaptogen’ that has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for over 3000 years as a rejuvenating tonic.

days of taking ASHWAGANDHA Maintaining a consistent sleep routine isn’t just for children, but adults as well. A person’s sleep-wake cycle (deep sleep and REM sleep) is dictated by circadian rhythm. This is your internal biological clock that regulates various body processes over a 24-hour period. A disrupted circadian rhythm may lead to weight gain and metabolic disturbances.

Sleep is an important piece of the puzzle that is your health.

It is hard to prioritise your sleep, however getting enough sleep impacts a person’s mood, stress, energy levels and ability to function well during the day.

1. Before bed relax with a calming mug of Ashwagandha tonic.

2. Ashwaganda plant: Extracts or powder from the plant’s root or leaves are used to treat a variety of conditions. It can be mixed with honey and warm milk alternatively it can be taken in tablet form.

The number of Australians meditating has increased 3-fold since 2012

RESTORE

calm

You know there are ways to turn your own bathroom into a spa? Soaking in a nice hot bath isn’t just for when you have overdone it in a workout.

A long hot bath can help reduce inflammation and control blood sugar levels. Raising your body’s temperature can influence your body’s inflammation response. Adding magnesium to your bath can further soothe your body along with its sensorial benefits of aromatherapy. Magnesium is most effectively absorbed through your skin so adding it to a bath is a no brainer!

QUESTIONS

WITH

Stephanie Seeto

HOW TO MAKE A MAGNESIUM BATH SOAK Epsom salt (also known as magnesium sulfate) is a chemical compound made up of magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen. It gets its name from the town of Epsom in Surrey, England, where it was originally discovered. +Add 2 cups of Epsom salt to a bathtub of warm water +Soak for at least 15 minutes

MY PARTNER SNORES A LOT. CAN IT BE A HEALTH ISSUE?

Boost+ Add 20 drops of essential oils such as lavender and geranium

Snoring is noisy breathing during sleep caused by vibrations in the relaxed airway tissues of the throat. It is a common problem - and it usually isn’t harmful. However, if your partner has chronic or heavy snoring it can affect their sleep quality and they may wake up feeling like they have barely slept at all. Some simple lifestyle changes that can help to remedy snoring include losing weight (or maintaining a healthy weight), avoiding sleeping tablets, which can cause further relaxation of the airway, and treating nasal congestion.

for each cup of Epsom salt. As well as their calming aroma, these oils have anti-inflammatory properties

Boost+ Add bubble bath to your soak. The bubble foam helps insulate the bath water, keeping it warmer for longer

CAUTION+ If you have an acute soft-tissue injury or any swelling, keep the water temperature cooler

There are also nasal strips, clips or rings available in the pharmacy that are designed to help open up the nostrils as well as throat sprays to tighten and lubricate the airways that may assist with minor snoring. I encourage you to speak to your Pharmacist or Doctor to rule out any other serious sleep disorders and assist with treatment.

WHAT SLEEP AIDS CAN I BUY OVER THE COUNTER?

Did you know?

Baths actually use less water than showers. A standard power shower uses up to 136 litres whereas a regular bath uses 80 litres of water.

There are several natural alternatives available from the pharmacy which contain sedative, calming herbs such as ziziphus, hops, lactium or valerian to help calm the mind and assist with falling and staying asleep. Homeopathic melatonin is also available. Melatonin is the hormone our brain naturally releases when it starts getting dark, to help promote relaxation and get the body ready for sleep. I highly encourage trying these natural alternatives first, as they are generally suitable for everyday use and can help to get yourself into a regular sleeping pattern.

The best long-term treatments for insomnia are non-drug lifestyle strategies to change thinking and behaviour around sleep, such as establishing a regular, relaxing bedtime routine, avoiding stimulants such as caffeine, nicotine and sugar close to bedtime, exercising to promote restful sleep and drinking calming herbal teas such as chamomile before bed. Please come into the pharmacy to have a chat if you are having problems sleeping so that we can find the best solution for you.

FLOAT TO A NEW LEVEL For pure peace and relaxation, try floating.

Our float pods are filled with magnesium-rich water (or Epsom salt) that is kept at the same temperature as your skin. You become totally buoyant, so there is absolutely no effort required to stay afloat.

Inside the pod you have very little to hear, touch, taste, smell or feel. With only your thoughts for company, you are put into the ultimate meditative state to better heal what ails you – or for the most peaceful hour of sleep you will ever have!

VITAMINS

Explained PRACTITIONER-ONLY VITAMINS

As the name suggests, they are vitamins that can only be supplied by a practitioner or Health Care Professional. They typically only require a small dose to be highly effective in comparison to the vitamins you can self-serve off the shelf from your local pharmacy. Therefore, you would only have to take a small amount rather than a larger dose to attain the same if not better results. They are only kept behind the counter in a pharmacy and accessible via speaking with a pharmacist.

AT WORK

We’ve all heard of vitamins, but do we really know when we should be taking them, what they actually do and how they do it? Let’s explore these questions to get a better understanding as they are an essential part of a healthy, happy life.

+ +

When

SHOULD YOU TAKE THEM?

Vitamins should be taken when you are unable to obtain the nutrients you need through your diet.

They should not be your only source of nutrition.

Optimal vitamin supplementation should be combined with a healthy diet. Even whilst eating a healthy diet we are not getting as many nutrients as we did in the past due to depleted soils, industrial farming, and hybridization techniques. Our current environmental elements like toxins, lack of sunlight and stress also leads us to having higher nutrient needs.

Fact + The efficacy of a vitamin will be at its

optimum when taken at the right time of day, such as morning or evening. This will depend on the vitamin’s absorption levels and is best to ensure directions are read on the label to receive maximum nutrient/ supplement delivery.

What DO THEY DO?

They perform hundreds of roles inside your body.

They are a group of substances that are needed for normal cell function, growth, and development.

Another way of thinking about it is that they are raw materials your body needs to help run smoothly from moving muscles, your heartbeat, turning food into energy to sending instructions to your brain.

There are 13 essential vitamins your body needs to work properly. They are vitamin A, C, D, E, K, B1, B2, B3, B5, B7, B6, B12, and folate (folic acid and vitamin B9). A deficiency in any of these vitamins can cause health problems.

Fact + Mineral delivery via vitamin supplements

are in many cases more effective when used in conjunction with other minerals or supplements.

For example calcium absorption is maximised when combined with Vitamin D.

l i v e+

+

+ +

How DO THEY DO IT?

There are two different types of vitamins: water and fat-soluble. Vitamins that are water soluble are not stored inside the body. When taken into the body they use what it needs, then you excrete anything it doesn’t. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in your liver and fatty issue when they are taken into your body. When your body needs them, they release it from their reserves.

Water-soluble

+ Vitamin C + Vitamin B + Vitamin B12 is the only water-soluble vitamin that can be stored in the liver for many years

Fat-soluble

+ Vitamin A + Vitamin D + Vitamin E + Vitamin K

Fact + The form of the vitamin impacts on how it is

absorbed. For example, an effervescent tablet or powdered formulation can be easier on the stomach and rapidly absorbed as it is already dissolved by the time you drink it.

EMBRACE

your LOOK The times are ever changing, and the cosmetics industry is no different.

Take note: make-up is not about following rules but exploring and embracing creativity.

FEATHERED FLUFFY BROWS

THE LIP STAIN

GLASS SKIN

R.I.P to the days of overdrawn eyebrows and hello to embracing undone, lived-in, full brow. This is a more natural look with brow pens mimicking your natural brow hairs and shape.

A naturally flushed lip look is very popular in K-beauty at the moment. It’s a low maintenance look that’s in it for the long haul and doesn’t require a million products to obtain. Apply, Set, and GO!

It is all about the glowing skin, referring to skin that is free of blemishes and pores. A combination of flawless ‘looking skin’ that glows. A lit-fromwithin glow.

EASY STEPS

EASY STEPS

EASY STEPS

+ Use a precise angled brush with a brow pomade and make hairline strokes through the brow, which really gives the brow a fuller, more precise look. + Take a translucent bar of soap and mascara brush.

HAIR TRENDS We have all been affected by lockdowns and restrictions due to current world events, which means we may have been unable to see some of our favourite people like hairdressers. Fortunately, current hair trends can be achieved at home with simple styling products like a light hairspray or a styling mousse for curly hair. At the moment, hairstyles are a bit more on the natural side of things in comparison to previous trends.
