S.M.A.R.T GOALS To a summer weight loss

ONE WORKOUT DOESN’T FIT ALL Find your own exercise routine LATHER UP Prep your skin for the summer sun

FEBRUARY

FABULOUS FEBRUARY The early months of the year are often fueled by healthy habits. With the overwhelming current global theme of COVID-19, people want to regain control over their lives and especially their health. A common focus is getting our weight loss goals back into shape.

Whether you’re an active outdoors person or enjoy an indoor gym workout, remember these 3 tips from a pharmacist: 1.

DRINK WATER AND ELECTROLY TES. It’s important to replace the fluids (like sodium and chloride) lost through our sweat.

Try Endura or Hydralyte to restore your body and stay hydrated.

2.

ALWAYS HAVE A SHOWER AFTER EXERCISING. This protects our skin from bacterial growth, which can lead to all sorts of infections. Also, always remember to wash your clothes before re-wearing them.

3.

WEAR SUNSCREEN AND/OR INSECT REPELLENT. Especially in the tropics - the humid sun and pesky bugs are everywhere you go. Prevent heatstroke, sunburn, and itchy rashes by using Neutrogena’s Sunscreen Range or Bushman’s Heavy Duty Insect Repellant.

Be smart about your weight loss goals.

Most diets end up failing, so set realistic goals like incorporating more veggies into your meals.

When exercising, set your own pace and challenge yourself to beat your own personal bests.

A great SMART goal to try is “I will add a 30-minute morning exercise routine to my schedule, five days a week, for the next four weeks, to help increase my metabolism”.

If you’re unsure about how to stay health-smart during the last month of summer, ask our pharmacists behind the counter.

Make the most of the outdoor sunshine and have fun while exercising. Wishing you a fabulous February, and good luck with your health and fitness goals.

ummer S SURFING VS

Surfing THE NET The early months of the year are generally the season of fun, sun, sea, and surf.

An Aussie Summer is peak time for beach visits and oceanfront fish and chip picnics.

Summer is generally perceived to be warm and sunny. Amidst the fabulous weather, rainy days find us cooped up indoors. This is when internet surfing kicks in while we wait to get back out to the beach.

Internet Surfing

Summer Weight Loss

More and more businesses are establishing an online presence. From groceries to school supplies, almost everything you need for day-to-day living can be ordered and delivered to your front door.

During the pandemic this is a great way to avoid the busy shopping centres and shop from the comfort of your own home.

In February, the kids are back at school and work routines are restored. With a little more free time, try to make the most of the fabulous weather and exercise outdoors like kitesurfing or windsurfing.

I’ve got some good news for you – ‘summer weight loss’ is a real thing! You may notice a shift in your activity levels when the seasons change, and it turns out this is no coincidence. It is common to feel more optimistic during the hotter, brighter months of the year.

As we protect ourselves and others by self-isolating, it’s important not to neglect the sun and fresh air. Getting outside offers important health benefits. Being indoors for long periods of time can sometimes be under-stimulating and the dim lighting hinders our good spirits.

By spending some time getting good quality fresh air and sunshine, your body’s immune system will be boosted, and your mood revitalised.

Whether you’re out and about in the warm sun or clicking away inside, remember to take care of yourself as Summer draws to a close.

Losing weight is said to be easier due to this newfound optimism and the nice weather that encourages us to be more active. By simply soaking up the gorgeous sunshine you will replenish your body’s vitamin D levels and help supress negative emotions. This will keep you moving for longer, even if you opt to work out afterwards inside the gym or at home.

S.M.A.R.T

GOALS All of the information available surrounding weight can be overwhelming.

If you want to lose weight, a good start would be to assess your eating and exercise habits.

Once you have made the decision to lose weight you need to ask yourself what your eating and exercise habits are. A good way to do this is to split them into ‘energy in’ (diet) and ‘energy out’ (movement). Take some time to reflect on your eating patterns.

Think about

What you eat.

When you eat.

Why you eat.

Keep a food diary

A helpful tip is to keep a food diary for a week to see if you can identify any patterns or themes in your eating habits.

BE S.M.A.R.T Specific – write down what you’re trying to achieve.

For example, rather than saying you want to do more exercise, make it specific, ie you will ride your bike to work on twice a week.

Measurable – use numbers or amounts where possible.

For example, you make a goal to eat two serves of vegetables each day.

Achievable – it is no point writing down a goal that you will never reach.

For example, if you know you are unlikely to stop drinking on weekends, a better goal might be instead of having a beer each weeknight while watching Netflix, I will drink a glass of water.

Realistic – your goal needs to be achievable and meaningful to you.

For example, when you feel stressed, instead of snacking stop and ask why you feel this way. Focus on this thought for 10 minutes to establish whether you are hungry before I eat anything.

Exercise IN ALL Shapes

& SIZES

Exercise doesn’t have to be one size fits all.

It is completely up to you to mould your own routine that works for your body and schedule.

A workout routine also doesn’t have to be purely gym and cardio. Other activities can be a great way to find a new hobby and have some fun.

Hiking

Hiking has its ups-and-downs. It’s a great way to build muscles in your legs and has amazing cardiovascular benefits, but the uphill battles can be quite a chore. Nevertheless, the reward at the end of the hike gives you a great sense of accomplishment and a spectacular view if you choose the right path.

Be sure to take a walking track that is suitable to your fitness level, and to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. It could be a great chance to clear your head and de-stress.

SPORTS When we are young, we tend to be more involved in sports teams and group activities but there are many opportunities for adults to partake in these activities.

You can join a local team of take advantage of free public recreational spaces. Take a trip down memory lane and recapture the fun of throwing hoops at the basketball court or serve an ace in tennis.

Take the stairs

It’s that simple. We often avoid stairs and opt for the convenience of elevators or escalators. Next time, challenge yourself to take it one step at a time. Stair climbing improves cardiovascular fitness and is great for counteracting a sedentary lifestyle. It’s a simple way to add a little bit of physical activity and movement to your day.

Dancing

Tear up the dancefloor on a night out or boogie while you’re cooking dinner. Dancing gets your entire body moving and is good for your heart. It also helps with balance and coordination. It may seem a little silly at first if you’re not used to dancing, but it can be a real mood booster once you try it.

Simply moving your body can aid your heart and lungs, strengthen muscles and improve mental wellbeing. Or get the video game Just Dance out and make it a fun activity for the whole family.

Lather Up Prevent your skin from getting damaged by the sun and make it essential to put sunscreen on before leaving the house. The concept of sunscreen dates back to ancient Egypt, when people used rice bran extract and jasmine to protect their skin from the sun. Chemists brought commercial sunscreen to the market in the 1930’s and the rest is history. You can find sun protectant properties in serums, creams, foundations and more.

Sunscreen acts as a protective barrier to the sun’s UV rays. Exposure to UV light can cause wrinkles and age spots, and can also have more serious consequences, such as skin cancer. To prevent problematic skin conditions, apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 2 to 3 hours.

Choose “Broad Spectrum”

Look for SPF 30 or higher

This means your sunscreen will protect you from ultraviolet (UV) rays A and B. Both cause skin cancer.

This number indicates how effective the protection of the sunscreen is.

The higher the better.

Make sure it’s water resistant

Opt for creams and lotions

This way you’ll know that your sunscreen will stay on if you sweat or take a dip in the ocean.

They are more reliable to ensure adequate coverage.

DOWN THROUGH THE AGES

1950s

Meals in the 50’s tended to be much simpler. Diets consisted mainly of meat and vegetables. They also contained less carbohydrates and alcohol. Since the diet was high in animal fat, oil, and full-fat diary - maintaining a stable weight relied mostly on portion control.

Weight loss tip from the 50s: Clean your house more.

Housewives would burn more than 1000 calories a day, simply by doing housework and chores.

1960s

LOW CALORIE DIET

Processed food gained popularity and manufacturers began producing frozen meals. Brands started making “low-calorie” claims to entice men and women to join the weight loss movement. Fad diets were a big thing, and so were weight watcher programs. Woman were encouraged to control what they ate and to stick to pre-planned meals.

Weight Loss tip from the 60s: Eat smaller portions and zero excuses. Eating appropriate portions will help fuel your calorie burning sessions.

HEALTHY APPETITE

Optifast VLCD Shakes can be incorporated into a low-calorie diet. They contain a variety of nutrients that are great for weight loss.

1970s

Weight loss tip from the 20th century cut-back on your booze. Enjoy a drink or two, but don’t over do it. Try low calorie alternatives like vodka or whiskey

Meal replacements were all the craze. A lack of nutritional knowledge meant consumers believed that guzzling liquid instead of eating would burn fat. Research now explains the dangers of removing solid food and that such fads should be used in conjunction with healthy meals to achieve the physique we want.

Weight Loss tip from the 70s: Eat proper meals during the day to fuel your body for physical activity. Nowadays the weight loss products on our shelves contain the right vitamins and nutrients our bodies need to promote safe slimming.

Did you know? during the pandemic 29% of parents increased their drinking habits, with more than 14% drinking daily.

1980s

Time to get your aerobics gear on and kick it with your fitness instructor.

Women got dressed up in leotards, tights, and sweatpants to hit the gym.

Working out, strength training and yoga saw more people losing weight with guidance from trainers. The 80’s brought colour and fun to fitness.

Weight loss tip from the 80s: Get a personal trainer. Having someone guide you through your weight loss journey takes the stress out of exercise.

The right program can help you see results much quicker.

1990s

People continued attending regular aerobic classes and started to crush diet conventions. Manufacturers had more pressure to prove the safety of their products and the pharmaceutical industry exploded within the diet culture.

Vitamins and pills became popular to support a healthy lifestyle.

Weight loss tip from the 90s: Take vitamins and supplements. This remains popular in the 20th century. Dieting and processed foods can reduce nutrient uptake. Vitamins and supplements can help maintain your body’s balance.

21st CENTURY

Although we have a better understanding about dieting and intuitive exercising, we are faced with all kinds of new problems. Stress predominately affects our efforts towards weight-loss. Many people are turning to alcohol to cope with stressful situations.

Drinking alcohol can hinder your weight loss journey due to its calorie count and slows your metabolism.

It can also slow down muscle building and recovery.

TOP WEIGHT LOSS TIP OVER THE DECADES

It’s clear no matter what decade, eating a healthy and balanced diet as well as regularly exercising will do wonders for weight loss. Eat a wide variety of healthy foods, from vegetables and fruit to healthy fats.

Food will fuel your workout. Raising your heart rate and building the level of intensity of your exercise is the recipe for fat-burning. Consistency will pay off. Try: Fill half of your plate with fruit and vegetables, a quarter with whole grains, and another quarter with protein. Remember no two weight loss journeys’ look the same. Do what’s best for your body and good luck on achieving your personal goals.

We are there for you, wherever you are
