Sensual, Silky and Natural: by Sylk Natural Personal Lubricant!

There are now many excellent eco and ethical products on the market and Sylk Natural Personal Lubricant, in the most personal of categories, is one of them.

Sylk is made from the ultra-slippery fluid from the beautiful Kiwifruit vine in a gentle formulation designed to keep you healthy, increase sensitivity and enhance pleasure.

Sylk is further unique in that it doesn't contain petrochemicals like Propylene Glycol and Paraben preservatives, like so many other lubricants. No hormones, sugars, flavours, colours either which could irritate or cause allergies. (And by the way, how clever is the Kiwi fruit vine - with health-giving fruit from one end and a hot little product to enhance pleasure from the other!) Sylk has an exciting sexy feel that partners also love and it's ideal with condoms and toys.

In its production, Sylk Natural Personal Lubricant uses Kiwifruit vines that would otherwise be thrown away. Once the health-giving kiwifruit are harvested, the vines are pruned. It is from inside these that Sylk's base ingredient, the extract, is taken. The 'used' vines are then composted and then returned to the orchard. How's that for a dual-use eco harvest - and who'd have thought that 'going green' could be sooooo pleasurable.

Sylk is available at hundreds of stockists, including larger Coles, Safeway and Woolies Supermarkets, thoughtful pharmacies and leading health food stores. Or direct from the secure and private website below.

The company works closely with health professionals because of Sylk's benefit to women and especially recovering cancer patients. As well, because they believe in putting back into the community, Geneva Marketing donate - and have been doing so for over 5 years - 5 cents from the sale of every pack to Cancer Information and Support Services, a very worthy division of the Cancer Council. So when you buy this natural pleasure enhancer, you can feel extra good about doing your bit for others.

Lifestyle Changes For Weight Loss:by Narelle Stegehuis - Mass Attack!

 

Obesity is a chronic health problem which now affects many Australians and contributes to a number of different health problems (eg, heart disease and diabetes).

The increased rates of overweight and obesity in Australia is part of a worldwide trend. Today, over 50% of women are classified as overweight or obese.

The reasons for this increase are complex, but environment and changing lifestyles certainly play significant roles

Obesity is a chronic condition and there is no 'quick fix' treatment that is effective for all overweight women and relapses of weight gain are not uncommon. Lifestyle modification is essential and positive changes in your eating and exercise are essential for sustained reductions in weight.

Weight Loss Aims and Benefits

As you may be aware, obesity is associated with a range of health consequences including metabolic diseases (like diabetes), heart disease and arthritis.

Overview of Lifestyle Treatments for Weight Loss

Lifestyle treatments for weight loss focus on reducing energy intake and increasing physical activity through diet, exercise and behavioural measures. You should try to alter your bad eating and activity habits.

" Dietary control has probably been the main treatment used for weight loss in the past. Diets are based on the principles of metabolism and work by reducing the intake of calories (energy) to create a negative energy balance (i.e. more energy is used than is consumed). You should learn how to read food labels carefully and aim to consume foods that are low in saturated fat, sugars and, if appropriate, glycaemic index

" Exercise Increased physical activity is essential for the maintenance of weight loss and should form part of any weight loss program.

" Behavioural Therapy Behavioural techniques may be useful in conjunction with diet and exercise programs to improve long-term weight loss. " Avoid stress, depression, boredom and frustration as these can be triggers to unhealthy eating behaviours.

Beyond the specific measures highlighted above, it is also important that you maintain an overall balanced and healthy lifestyle.
