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

New Year New You – Get fit, eat well, look good, feel good! Advice from Dr Paul Clayton
Feeling sluggish? Want to regain your mojo after the indulgences of Christmas? Made a New Year’s resolution to get fit, eat well, look good and feel good?
Dr Paul Clayton chairs the Scientific Advisory Boards of Itogha (Norway) and BiotheraPharma (USA), is a Fellow of the Institute of Innate Immunity (Osaka) and the Institute of Food, Brain & Behaviour (Oxford), a former Chair of the Forum on Food and Health at the Royal Society of Medicine and former Senior Scientific Advisor to the UK Government's Committee on the Safety of Medicines. He says the New Year should start from within.
“People should be more aware of the fatty acids in their diet”, says Dr Clayton, “as these largely determine whether the environment in the body is pro- or anti-inflammatory. All chronic diseases have inflammation at their core, and the huge increases we have seen in cardiovascular disease and cancer over the last century are closely related to increasing intakes of Omega 6 fatty acids (in vegetable oils), and a decline in Omega 3 fatty acids (in oily fish). This imbalance is also strongly linked to increasing rates of mental illness.
'Women are particularly vulnerable. They tend to have worse outcomes with cardiovascular disease; they are more likely to suffer from depression, or at the hands of men with mental illness; and an unhealthy fatty acid balance during pregnancy may substantially affect the unborn baby's brain, with major consequences in later life.'
To ensure your body gets the correct balance Dr Clayton, working with 4Life and St. Olav’s Hospital, Trondheim University Hospital, Norway has introduced the 4Life Test. Available on the internet and extremely easy to use, this test measures the profile of 11 fatty acids in your blood and precisely calculates the Omega-6/Omega-3 balance. Processed by highly qualified staff at Trondheim University Hospital, the blood tests are used to calculate each individual’s vulnerability to lifestyle related problems.
The result is sent anonymously via www.itogha.com . Assistance interpreting the results can be obtained if needed from GPs or other health professionals and can be used to guide lifestyle and dietary choices to improve the balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 levels and thus enhance health and well-being.
The 4Life Test is an MOT for the body. Make an online pit stop and ensure your body is in balance to give you the best New Year ever.

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 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.
