We have a lot to thank the digestive system for. But because it is safely hidden from view it often doesn’t get any attention – until it is causing us discomfor t! The gut consists of 9 metres of intestines with a surface area of a football field! This huge organ inside our bodies is responsible for absorbing the nutrients we need and eliminating waste and toxins. It is also where a lot of our immune system activity takes place. The digestive-immune system provides us with defence against harmful bacteria, viruses, toxins and other environmental challenges such as allergens. The gut is keeping us healthy 24/7 – but who is looking after it? That job falls to the beneficial flora that reside within our intestines. Not only are these bacterial flora the caretakers of the gut but they also work with the immune system to modulate immune response. Gut health therefore depends on maintaining a healthy population of bacterial flora, and this is regularly compromised by stress, a low fibre diet, coffee, alcohol, antibiotics and infections. And when our gut is suffering, so do we! Taking a probiotic supplement helps provide the assurance that the digestive system is in optimal condition, helping us to resist immune challenges, eliminate waste and maintain excellent health. As well as providing a full range of premium probiotics, Primadophilus Reuteri provides Lactobacillus Reuteri, a strain of probiotic with extra power! L. Reuteri is one of the first strains to colonise the intestines and is crucial in encouraging the growth of your existing flora – resulting in faster colonisation of all probiotic strains. L. Reuteri is especially effective in protecting the digestive tract against harmful bugs that find their way into our digestive systems.

Summer is here and with it comes lazy days by the beach, barbeques and Christmas parties....and a plethora of advice on how to slim down. “Oh no! Not another diet!” you groan, anticipating a couple of months of radically restricting your food intake, limiting your diet to only a couple of foods, or inflicting some other unreasonable demand on your mind and body. Too many people think of a ‘diet’ as something temporary. Sooner or later failure is inevitable. Studies show most dieters regain the weight they have lost once their goal weight has been achieved. In fact, many people become heavier than they were before the diet. But there is another way. There is a solution to weight gain that makes you feel fantastic, nourished and energetic. The key to losing weight and keeping it off is to make gradual, lifestyle changes you can stick to forever. Habits, good or bad, are formed by repetition and eating habits are no exception. The Celebrity Slim Weight Management programme helps people adopt essential habits and set them up for long term success. Some of these include: Have a plan of attack The single most important thing you can do when eating healthy is being prepared. That means having healthy foods on hand so you’re not tempted by quick, unhealthy options. Eating 3 meals a day plus 2 snacks This provides structure to a daily eating plan, even when schedules are erratic. Eating smaller meals more often throughout the day boosts your metabolism and helps appetite control by preventing overeating at meals. Work treats into your diet Allowing yourself a small treat each day can help achieve long term success. Completely depriving yourself is not sustainable. Combination of high protein and low GI carbs Studies have shown that people who follow a high-protein, low-GI diet are more successful at keeping weight off. NOW $59.90 Exercise Exercise can help burn off the excess calories you can’t cut through diet alone. Studies show that people who maintain their weight loss over the long term get regular physical activity. Don’t strive for perfection There will come a day when you eat too much cake or have that extra piece of pizza. We all overindulge at times but many of us use that as an excuse to quit and go back to old, unhealthy habits. One mistake isn’t the end of the world, simply move on with your plan. SAVE $20.00 Starter Pack From Celebrity Slim • • Everything you need to get started on your weight management programme Contains 14 Shake Sachets, Shaker, 2 Soups, Programme Guide, Diet Diary. On the Celebrity Slim Program, you simply replace 2 meals each day with one of the delicious Celebrity Slim shakes, soups or bars, eat one ‘normal’ balanced meal each day and snack on a variety of allowable foods between meals. Once you reach your goal weight you can substitute the Celebrity Slim meal replacements with healthy meal options, which you will learn all about throughout the program. And you need never go on a summer diet again! $79.90 VALUE $100.40 NORMAL RETAIL Use In conjunction with a calorie controlled diet, exercise and professional advice. People with specific medical conditions should check with their doctor first “I lack a lot of motivation, so for someone like me to be able to stick to this is a huge thing, and a lot of that has to do with the simplicity of the Celebrity Slim program and support available. Within the first week of starting Celebrity Slim I could feel the difference. I have more energy, am happier in myself and have started wearing clothing for my size rather than things that hang off me like a potato sack! When people notice that you are losing weight and comment on it makes it all worth it and spurs me on to keep going! I am starting to wear clothes to show off my emerging new shape rather than clothes to cover it up which is a massive thing for me!” Kristy Value Pack From Celebrity Slim • • A great selection of Celebrity Slim’s top selling products Contains 14 Shake Sachets, 2 Breakfast Bars, 2 Meal Replacement Bars & 5 Snack Bars AVA I L A B L E E X C L U S I V E L Y A T H A R D Y ’ S Svetol® 2800 • • • Clinically researched, trials over a 2 month period Decaffeinated green coffee bean extract Supports metabolism and appetite management 112 Capsules Now $59.90 CUSTOMER CLUB EXCLUSIVE OFFER Always read the label and use in conjunction with a balanced diet and exercise.

Fancy some formaldehyde and lead for breakfast? Many people are unaware that there is no requirement for companies to disclose all the ingredients in a beauty product. But a ‘trade secret’ loophole allows cosmetic companies to use a generic term like ‘fragrance’ for any ingredient it wants to use. A test conducted on 33 brand-name lipsticks, for example, identified 61% contained detectable levels of lead. But lead is not a great selling point, so not one of these companies had listed lead as an ingredient on the product. The skin is the largest organ in the body and absorbs up to 60% of the substances applied to it. It is estimated that women who use make-up on a daily basis are absorbing almost 2 kilograms of chemicals a year into their bodies. Many women use over 20 different products a day, bombarding themselves with hundreds of different chemicals. Chemicals found in lipsticks, skin lotions and hair dyes have been linked with tumours, cell mutation, allergies, reproductive complications, endocrine disruption and cancer. It may seem puzzling as to why chemical nasties are used in beauty products, when natural ingredients provide all the excellent skin care bene- • • Now $49.00 Save $20.00 All of these items for $119.00 Value $208 • It is a lot cheaper to fill up a product with synthetic ingredients than natural ones. A chemical preservative for example, allows a moisturiser to be used for up to three years. Lower production costs and a longer shelf life mean a cosmetic company can manufacture a product for less, and this saving is not necessarily reflected in the price. • • The perfect collection to get you started with INIKA luxurious natural cosmetics Includes: Mineral Foundation 3g, Mineral Bronzer 3.5g, Pure Primer 4ml, Liquid Mineral Foundation 4ml, Natural Perfection Concealer 6ml, Kabuki Brush, Contour Brush and Makeup Bag.

With the busy lives so many of us live today, high energy levels are essential. But many of us struggle to find enough get up and go to meet family and work demands. High quality vitamins and minerals are vital to overcome dietary imbalances, minimise the risk of common chronic illnesses and help us to achieve optimum energy. Here are a few of our top recommendations: Effective dietary tips to boost your energy! Sick of feeling exhausted? While everyone is aware that sleep is energising, people often overlook the fact that nutrition has a profound impact on energy levels. Spirulina Spirulina is the world’s richest whole food source of energy-giving nutrients such as easily absorbed iron, phycocyanin, glycogen and pure high quality complete protein. Add to that a rich array of vitamins and minerals and it’s the perfect solution for those feeling tired, run down and exhausted. Here are five strategies for increasing your energy through simple dietary choices. These tips are for busy people who need more zest to get through the day. Bon appetite! Bioactive Spirulina From Lifestream 200 Tablets $35.40 or buy 2 for $50.00 Save $20.80* *Hardy’s Customer Club Exclusive Offer 1 Do you skip breakfast or have a quick sugar and carb-loaded meal such as sweet cereal or jam on toast? Energy levels are maintained by even blood sugar levels throughout the day – and the single most effective way to achieve this is by eating a small quantity of protein for breakfast. B Vitamins Vitamin B deficiency can be a result of environmental toxins, drugs, processed foods and stress. Vitamin B helps support our nervous system and in turn helps us stay relaxed even when the pressure is on. It also supports energy production, thought processes and metabolism. Mega B From Microgenics 120 Capsules Co Enzyme Q10 This enzyme is produced by the human body and is instrumental for our body’s energy production. It is especially important for high energy demanding cells such as the heart. Various studies suggest that ageing is a major factor in Co Enzyme Q10 levels decreasing in our body. A common side effect of Co Enzyme Q10 deficiency is fatique. Co Enzyme Q10 with Alpha Lipoic Acid 150mg From Microgenics 30 Vegi Capsules Now $39.90 Save $6.60 Protein power $56.60 + receive 60 Capsules FREE* A sugar or carb loaded breakfast results in a rapid increase in your blood sugar levels. To counteract this, the pancreas produces insulin, which rapidly brings that blood sugar level down, making you feel exhausted and reaching for a sugar fix again – creating a vicious cycle of yo-yoing blood sugar and energy levels. By eating a protein-rich breakfast, the blood sugar level rises slowly, maintaining steady energy throughout the morning. 2 Eat less 3 Ensure you are getting your Bs 4 Drink water 5 Careful with caffeine Eat until you feel you have had enough but not until you are full. Digesting food is the most energy-consuming body process and our body can only breakdown and digest a certain quantity of food at a time. B vitamins are involved in many bodily functions and essential for converting blood sugar into useable energy. Eat whole grains and leafy greens to get your fix. Water is critical to maintain adequate blood volume to carry nutrients to cells and carry waste out of our systems. One of the first signs of even mild dehydration is fatigue or often we will misinterpret dehydration for hunger – and grab a chocolate bar for a quick, short-lived fix. *Hardy’s Customer Club Exclusive Offer A couple of cups of coffee a day will increase mental alertness and energy levels in the short term but excessive caffeine consumption will result in irritability and reduced performance. Six months prior to my wedding I started taking Pro-Col Collagen after seeing noticeable differences my mother-in-law was experiencing from the product. Usually my nails are soft and brittle, now they are nice and strong and very healthy looking and I have been receiving comments on how good my skin is looking. I continue to take it and are very pleaased with the results.
