Don’t let flagging energy levels ruin your festive spirit this year!
Bimuno IMMUNAID offers a helping hand to keep you healthy this Christmas!
New research has revealed less than one in 10 UK adults feel 100% and on top of the world in the winter, with nearly 6 out of 10 saying that they regularly feel tired and low in energy compared to any other time of year.
Shockingly, a third (32%) admitted they have previously missed out on a Christmas or New Year’s Eve party due to feeling run down or tired. With people looking forward to some much-needed Christmas cheer this year, it would be shame for people to miss out because of their health.
The research, conducted by Opinion Matters on behalf of Bimuno IMMUNAID, also revealed that over a third (35%) of adults are feeling stressed and anxious about getting ready for Christmas such as shopping, expenses and the food preparation.
Increased stress combined with low energy levels can reduce the body’s immunity, making it difficult to fight winter infections such as colds, sore throats and flu. So, make sure you’re prepared this Christmas by stocking up on winter essentials such as Bimuno IMMUNAID, a unique second generation prebiotic supplement, proven to help maintain immune health
Dr Ellie Cannon, expert GP from Sky Living's 'Slave To Food' says, “The best way to stop feeling run down and catching colds and infections is to build up our immunity. Few people realise that around 60% of our immune system is associated with the gut, which is home to both good and bad bacteria. Stress, tiredness and sickness can reduce the amount of good bacteria which in turn can affect our ability to fight infections and stay healthy.
"Using supplements such as Bimuno IMMUNAID, which has prebiotics that help the ‘good’ gut bacteria to grow and flourish while reducing harmful ‘bad’ bacteria, is a great idea. By ensuring a healthy balance of good versus bad bacteria, we can help to maintain a healthy immune system.”
Unlike other supplements Bimuno IMMUNAID works in a unique and effective way, at the centre of our immune system, the gut. By increasing and strengthening the gut's immunity-boosting good bacteria (bifidobacteria), Bimuno works in harmony with the body’s own natural defences.
Nearly 75% of the 1131 respondents also agreed that the winter months (December through to February) were when they were at their unhealthiest, with more than half saying that they over-indulged on rich and fatty foods in December and more than a third saying they exercised less than normal. All this can further compromise the body’s immunity and decrease energy levels.
Geoff Collins, Head of Consumer Marketing for Bimuno comments, “It’s not easy to stay healthy at the best of times but especially so over the Christmas period. As this is also the time for colds and flu, keeping our immune system fit and healthy should be a key consideration. Bimuno IMMUNAID includes a unique second generation prebiotic developed with the University of Reading which has been proven in scientific studies to help as well as the added benefit of vitamin C, making it ideal for those looking for added support during the winter season.”
Bimuno IMMUNAID, a health supplement available as convenient and discreet soft chewable pastilles contains a tailored dosage of the unique second generation GOS (trans-Galacto-oligosaccharide) prebiotic ensuring to help maintain immune health.
Unlike some probiotics (‘live’ good bacteria ingested as tablets or in probiotic food stuffs), prebiotics are not digested in the stomach or small intestine, but reach the colon intact where they can be of maximum benefit. Bimuno can also be carried around in your bag as it is perfectly stable at room temperature unlike probiotics.
Once in the colon, Bimuno’s unique dual action selectively targets and feeds the body’s immunity-boosting good bacteria, bifidobacteria, while actively reducing numbers of harmful bacteria.
Bimuno IMMUNAID RRP £9.99 for 30 pastilles. Available from Boots and www.bimuno.com

Detox This New Year With Lull
Start the New Year as you mean to go on… LULL is a healthy, 100% natural, ‘chill-out’ drink, perfect for detoxing this New Year.
Overindulgence during the festive season can leave many of us feeling bloated and lethargic. While the body has an innate tendency to maintain a healthy balance, if its natural detoxifying functions become congested or tired, we can become imbalanced. LULL provides carefully selected valuable and essential nutrients to aid regeneration and restore inner-wellness and balance.
LULL provides life-enhancing vitamins (15% RDA of vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C & E), stress-relieving magnesium (15% RDA) and antioxidant protection from the nutrient-rich juices of kiwi, blackberry, blackcurrant and red-grape, all specifically blended to 'soothe mind and body'.
Every 250ml bottle of LULL contains 2000mg of botanical extracts from plants, sourced from around the world. The beneficial properties of the botanicals have been appreciated by cultures around the world for centuries. They include cleansing fennel, relaxing lavender, rejuvenating hibiscus, uplifting green tea, happiness-inducing passion flower, soothing lemon balm, comforting lime blossom, anxiety-fighting jujube, stress-relieving hops, calming chamomile and balancing valerian.
100% natural, LULL is low in calories (just 43 calories per 250ml bottle), contains no added sugar, artificial flavours, colours or preservatives. LULL has a clean and balanced taste, with a subtle natural sweetness. LULL is slow burn and diabetic friendly. No spike = no crash!
LULL comes in a stylish, easy opening aluminium bottle, that not only protects the delicate botanical extracts from UV light, so ensuring they remain in perfect condition, but it’s also environmentally friendly – light, unbreakable and fully recyclable.
LULL is a premium priced drink (recommended price of £1.90 per 250ml bottle) and is available online (www.drinklull.com) and from high-end independent retailers, gyms, beauty salons, spas and wellness centres.

Top 10 Christmas Season Weight Management Tips from Jenny Craig
1. Keep up with physical activity; this helps to tone and keep the metabolic rate going and also helps fight the extra stresses that this time of year brings. It’s not necessary to schedule a solid block of exercise to get a good workout. For example, three 10-minute ‘mini-workouts’ throughout the day are just as good as half an hour of exercise.
2. A common temptation for dieters is to forget about their diet plans altogether after a minor glitch. Falling off the bandwagon is a good opportunity to get right back to the diet. Don’t be tempted just to give it all up!
3. Is there really a need to buy all those Christmas food extras and have them in the house? No one will really miss that massive tin of chocolates, those bags of nuts and packets of mince pies! Not buying them is a great way to avoid temptation. Hosts who do want these traditional extras for guests, should hide them well away from their own appetite.
4. Ask people not to show up with foodie pressies. Ask for perfume, toiletries, handbags and other calorie-free accessories to indulge in.
5. Don’t be tempted to skip meals to make up for previous or future overindulgence! This will only make the eating pattern out of balance, and may even result in hunger and temptation to eat more or the wrong foods.
6. Christmas can be fun but stressful, and people may have less time for themselves. They may be tempted to forget the diet, but shouldn’t this will make them feel rotten and resentful in the longer run.
7. Everyone should give themselves ‘me’ time and some space at this time of year. Treating yourself doesn’t have to involve food. What about a manicure, a long hot bath or a chat to a friend?
8. Having a non-weight loss day on Christmas day is of course perfectly understandable. But don’t go absolutely mad - there are traditional Christmas day foods that are very healthy and low in calories. Indulge in these: turkey meat (no skin), sprouts, carrots, smoked salmon and scrambled egg without too much added fat, fruit with just a few nuts. Don’t overindulge in the roasties, Christmas pudding and mince pies – just have a little taster of these.
9. Christmas doesn’t have to be alcohol free, but don’t forget that alcoholic drinks are quite calorific. More than one drink can also lower people’s mental ‘dieting reserve’, so that their attitude becomes: ‘I don’t care anymore about the diet, pass the nuts and chocolate!’
10. Calorie-rich Christmas leftovers shouldn’t be sitting around in cupboards. Just throw them out. This may seem like a big waste, but to be frank: they will only be wasted sitting around on hips or belly after being consumed!
