Real breakthrough in the battle against joint pain

There has been a genuine breakthrough in the long battle against joint pain.

Studies have shown that Litozin+ can lessen joint pain by 29%. And that's great news for the millions of people who suffer from joint pain.

Painful joints can seriously impinge on the sufferers' quality of life. They can curtain or even completely stop some forms of physical activity, sleep patterns can be disturbed and depression can be a byproduct.

However, the latest research indicates that help is at hand for those people who are suffering from joint pain.

Clinical research indicates the new Litozin+ with Rosenoids is proven to dramatically cut the grinding, relentless pain that afflict the joints of sufferers.

The clinical trial involved 150 people who average 65 years of age. All of whom were experiencing mobility issues and had done so for several years. This as a result of joint pains.

The findings of the trial were remarkable and were published in the Journal of Clinical Rheumatology.

People who took three capsules a day of Litozin+ reported a reduction in joint pain/joint discomfort of (on average) 29%.

The results are very promising and likely to be of great benefit to those who suffer from joint pains.

They are available from Holland and Barrett and Amazon.

As well as the capsules the product is also available as as powder which needs to be mixed with water or added to food. As mixing with water can take a considerable time the That's Health Tester points out that adding the powder to food might be the easiest option.

From Holland and Barrett 90 Capsules costs £19.99, the one a day powder sachets costs 30 x 3.6g  £29.99.

The That's Health tester -who suffers from considerable joint pain- will be reporting back to readers of That's Health as to her progress with our trial.

Slim Sip can help you lower cholesterol and control blood sugar

Although it is not sold as a magic cure, Slim-Sip can certainly help you in the fight to control cholesterol and keep a lid on blood sugar levels.

It's a new food supplement that contains a very useful 'super-fibre.'

What might it do for you? Clinical trials have shown that Slim Sip is proven to help you lower your cholesterol levels and keep a lid on blood sugar levels whilst also helping people gain control of their weight.

How does it do this? It contains Glucomannan, which is a particular type of water-soluble fibre which, when subject to water, forms a very high viscosity gel.

This will help you by slowing down the rate of absorption of sugar and cholesterol from your stomach and your intestines. Thus it is known for helping to control blood sugar levels, trapping and helping eliminate fats and oils and reducing cholesterol levels.

It is reported that the above ingredient is the only ingredient supported by the EFSA for claims on weight and cholesterol management.

It's a perfectly natural substance which is derived from the root tubers of the Konjac Potato.

The substance absorbs water and swells up by an astonishing 200 times its original size.

Not only does it help regulate cholesterol and blood sugar levels it also has a tendency to reduce the appetite, too, which can help to reduce food intake.

It's got a delicious and sparkling orange flavour and if consumed on a regular basis, it can help you keep a lid on cholesterol, blood sugar and fat absorption.

In order for it to work effectively, you must follow the instructions on the pack..

It is available from branches of Boots and a box of 30 sachets will cost £19.99.

It's also available from New Image Health at http://www.newimagehealth.com.

Dr Gaye Super-Shake

Who is Dr Morgaine Gaye?

Dr Morgaine Gaye is a food and nutrition expert and a Food Futurologist. She is the genius behind the http://www.drgayesupershake.com/ range of shakes and products.

Dr Gaye produces foods that are designed to do you good. She carefully designs the formulas for the shakes and the porridges that she markets.

The Super Porridge is interesting. It is ideal for people who are gluten intolerant as it contains no oats.

After preparing it with hot milk or hot water in the recommended manner, the porridge it creates has an interesting flavour. It contains dried fruits, (Dried White Mulberries)  but these are amazingly succulent and if you hadn't just prepared the meal yourself, you'd be forgiven for not being aware that they had been rehydrated.

Dr Gaye realises that the flavours of her products might not be to the liking of everyone, so suggests that you can add flavours such as natural vanilla to them. However, we found the taste more than acceptable.

So what is the Dr Gaye Super-Shake product range?

In her own words: "It offers high-performance foods that deliver bio-available, food-grade nutrients and vitamins which fit into a busy life-style.

All the products are organic, grain-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, 100% raw, unprocessed, vegetarian and perfect for diets such as: Paleo, raw, 5:2, Bullet Proof and alkaline."

The product that we tried was the Super Porridge, which costs £14.50 for 500 grammes.

You can see a talk that Dr Gaye gives on this product, here: http://www.drgayesupershake.com/our-products/dr-gayes-super-porridge.html.

Other products that are available are: Dr Gaye Super-Shake, Dr Gaye Super-Blend and Dr Gaye Super-Spoonful.

Aldi can help you get back in shape!

If you are anything like us, you'll have indulged in all the good things that were on offer from Aldi over the Christmas season (The failings of my wife and I are the traditional German biscuits, the Stollen, the mince pies, the cheese boards and the cheese biscuits and the mulled wines!)

But this all comes at a bit of a price and when the festive season is over, it’s time to make amends. And Aldi can help you do that, too!

And it will not cost you very much, either! Aldi Specialbuys Yoga and Fitness Range will launch in stores on 2nd January 2015.

There'll be a large range of new yoga gear, home gym equipment and fitness accessories, so there's everything you need to get fit, healthy and in shape this New Year for less than you might think.

Yoga

With super soft Lycra Yoga Capri Pants (£6.99), super soft and loose fitting Yoga Leggings (£8.99) and breathable, extra-long length Yoga Tops (£5.99) - all designed to provide high stretch yet remain comfortable, you’ll be mastering your yoga poses effortlessly.

Complete the look with a long sleeved hooded thermal Yoga Jacket (£11.99), featuring a moisture management system to help you stay dry during your workout, as well as an audio port for your MP3 player or ipod so you can enjoy listening to your favourite songs while exercising.

 To complete your yoga kit, Aldi also has a fantastic Yoga and Pilates Accessories Set (£4.99), a must for any keen yoga enthusiast, which includes yoga balls, yoga blocks, pilates rings and fitness bands.
There’s also a Yoga Mat and Foam Roller Set (£6.99) that’s perfect to help improve your core strength and prevent your hands and feet from slipping when trying out your best plank or bridge pose.

Fitness

If you’re looking to do a more high energy class, the High Impact Sports Bra (£12.99), available in black or white, will make you feel comfortable and supported whilst you burn those calories.

Combine this with a pair of Fitness Trainers (£11.99) available in both men’s and ladies’ sizes and you’ll be ready to sweat and really work it at your next aerobics class.

The new range also includes a fantastic selection of gym equipment so you can kit out your home with the latest gear and ditch the expensive gym membership. With colourful cast iron Kettlebells from 2.5kg (£6.99) up to 7.5kg (£11.99) as well as 1kg, 2kg and 3kg ergonomically shaped Dumbbells (£6.49) you’ll be able to build and tone muscles.

To reduce impact and keep you comfortable, grab a soft foam Fitness Mat (£7.99), made with two layers for added padding.

If you’re struggling to feel motivated, grab a pair of Sports Earphones and Armband (£4.99) so you can play some great workout tunes to get you in the mood. Producing superior sound quality, these in-ear earphones are super comfortable and great for when you’re on the move.

With the new Aldi Specialbuys Yoga and Fitness Range you’ll be able to look great and feel great this January, but do remember they really are SpecialBuys, so when they’re gone, they’re really gone!
