The perfect morning start!
What can you do to get ready in the morning and get your day off to a stress free start so you leave home to work cool, calm and collected?
Now that clocks have been turned back, crawling out from under the duvet gets even harder and as winter looms and mornings get darker and colder, mood management becomes very important.
And if you start the day in a rush and stressed state, the stress cycle can perpetuate throughout the day.
Most of us just don't have the time for a leisurely bath or soak and breakfast in bed is the stuff of dreamy holidays.
But there are some simple things you could do to ease the strain of waking up and get your day off to a great start!
* Wake up to a DAWN SIMULATION ALARM CLOCK. It's the most natural and stress free wake up call that harmonises your bodyclock with your sleep and wake patterns.
* If its particularly gloomy and dismal outside switch on for a burst of some therapeutic LIGHT THERAPY with the portable LED LITEBOOK or the TWO IN ONE LIGHT THERAPY AND SUNRISE ALARM CLOCK.
* Play quiet music in the background or INNER TALK MUSIC CD's to enhance your mood and positivity and build your sense of optimism for the day ahead.
* Before you settle down to breakfast, take a few sips of warm water with a dash of lemon. It will work wonders on stimulating your digestive system. Alternatively take a tablet of NEW NORDIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR to help maintain a healthy digestion and control your blood sugar levels.
* Do some simple stretching and yawning to get your blood circulating. You might prefer to take a few breathing exercises with POWERBREATHE to get your metabolism going.
* Give your skin a good brushing to boost circulation before your morning shower with the TWO IN ONE SISAL DRY BODY BRUSH AND CELLULITE MASSAGER or the BODY EXFOLIATOR RUBBER TIP MASSAGE BRUSH.
* Never skip breakfast and go easy on the caffeine mix. You can get your body into gear with a decent breakfast of slow release carbs like oatmeal porridge.
* Finally, tickle your taste buds and charge your body with free radical busting antioxidants with a shot of the worlds most delicious QUEEN OF FRUITS MANGOSTEEN fruit juice cocktail.

Breathing exercises for breathlessness.
Breathing is essential for life and yet many people do not breathe correctly and can suffer great distress as a result. The main purpose of breathing is to absorb oxygen into the bloodstream. We also expel carbon dioxide with every out breath.
Apart from lung and heart disease, poor breathing, inactivity, smoking, obesity or just getting older can cause breathlessness, the uncomfortable need to breathe and can be debilitating even for relatively minor exertions like washing, dressing or walking up the stairs.
It is tempting to avoid these activities thinking it may be harmful. In fact the opposite is true. By avoiding activities and exertions you will become less and less fit and find you cannot do anything without becoming ever more breathless.
Often too, breathlessness whilst uncomfortable and distressing is not harmful. And by exercising your breathing regularly with POWERbreathe Breathing Exercisers for a few minutes every day your respiratory muscles begin to strengthen, the quality and depth of your breathing improves markedly and usually within about four weeks, you notice an increase in the distances you walk, the length of time you walk and an increase in your levels of physical exertion without the need to stop and rest.

Improve your cardiovascular endurance and recovery with POWERbreathe Breathing Exercisers.
A secret weapon for competitors at all levels including professional athletes, POWERbreathe Sports Breathing Exerciser is widely recommended as a natural and effective way to build cardiovascular endurance and recovery.
In fact tests show that using the POWERbreathe Sports Breathing Exerciser can result in noticeable and measurable improvements in endurance, recovery as well as speed within just four weeks.
No wonder its used and endorsed by international athletes and sports associations all over the world.
In competitive sports, breathlessness is a barrier to better performance. Respiratory effort can account for up to 15% of cardiac output and when the inspiratory muscles tire, they divert blood from other hardworking muscles like those in the arms or legs which limits their performance.
But POWERbreathe Sports works by training the muscle group often overlooked by other sports preparation.
Running, rowing, hiking, swimming, cycling, team sports and gym workouts become less difficult while recovery times shorten.
In tests, rowing time trials improved by a margin of more than 60m in a 2000m race while cycling time trials over 40Km improved by 3 minutes!
Between repeat sprints, recovery time was up to 7% faster and tests in laboratory conditions showed that stamina and endurance improved by a massive 30%!

Singing exercise. Find your true voice!
POWERBREATHE BREATHING EXERCISER.
Everything about singing is based on breath.
Many singers though inadvertently and unknowingly take high, exaggerated and chesty breaths that result in shortness of breath while singing, scratchy breaks in the voice, difficulty reaching high notes, a weak and powerless vocal sound, pitch problems like going sharp and flat and vocal tension, a tensed up feeling in the throat that’s puts strain on the vocal chords.
POWERBREATHE can help develop better and deeper breathing and breath control, better support for each breath and a more relaxed throat.
Controlled breathing is the single most important ability a singer can have to be able to sing with razor sharp pitch, produce a powerful, room-filling sound, and explode their vocal ranges to new heights and lows!

STRESS CAN LEAD TO IRREGULAR OR MISSED PERIODS.
The stresses of everyday life can cause women to become infertile.
A build up of tension can prevent a woman from having her period and therefore from conceiving a baby, US scientists have found.
But relaxation therapies can help women become pregnant in up to 80% of cases!
The US research team found that it's not only traumatic life events, but the gradual drip drip accumulation of small stresses and pressures allowed to build up without giving vent to them that can cause a lack of monthly periods and ovulation which was previously linked to under nutrition and excessive exercise.
"In fact the collection of small stresses can be worse for fertility than one big stress" says Professor Sarah Berga from Emory University in Atlanta.
In her studies, she found that relaxation therapy was a good way to reduce stress.
A staggering 80% of the women studied, suffering infertility for more than six months and receiving Cognitive Behaviour Therapy consisting of coaching on nutrition, exercise and ways to reduce stress over a 20 week period , started ovulating again!
Learning to manage stress better using a vast range of available therapies can help restore ovulation in up to four out of five cases of stress related infertility! These include relaxing baths, aromatherapy, massage, music therapy, colour therapy, better breathing, meditation and yoga, natural supplements, room ionisers, mood lighting, reflexology and self help CD's.

THERE ARE MANY CAUSES OF BREATHLESSNESS INCLUDING EMPHYSEMA, BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA, CYSTIC FIBROSIS, MS, MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY AND STROKE. Breathing exercise with POWERBREATHE helps strengthen inspiratory muscle function, reducing breathlessness and increasing stamina and endurance.

WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL BREATHLESS? Research at Birmingham and Loughborough Universities have established that a major cause of breathlessness is the weakness of the muscles we use to breathe to expand the chest and draw breath. Research has shown that people who exercise and strengthen these muscles known as inspiratory muscles feel less breathless and find they are able to do things that previously left them gasping for breath.

BREATHE LIKE A BABY Watch a baby breathe and you will see its belly go up and down. With age most people shift from this healthy abdominal breathing to shallow chest breathing that strains the lungs which must move faster to ensure adequate oxygen flow and taxes the heart which is forced to speed up to provide enough blood for oxygen transport. Discover deeper abdominal breathing with POWERBREATHE - BREATHING EXERCISER.
