Reduce Your Stress Levels and Learn to Relax

Today’s hectic lifestyles mean that it’s not uncommon to experience stress on a regular basis and it’s now almost the norm to admit to being stressed.

However the body reacts to everyday stress in the same way that it would if we were faced with a real danger such as a tiger.  It adopts what’s known as the ‘fight or flight’ response where the heart rate is increased, breathing is quicker, digestive activity is decreased and glucose is released by the liver (for energy).  Whilst useful in a dangerous situation, it isn’t healthy to experience this on a regular or ongoing basis.

So What Causes Stress?

·         Life Changes – significant life changes such as getting married, moving house or changing jobs are all stressful events.  

·         Work – this might include difficult commutes, work overload, challenging deadlines, job insecurity and disagreements at work.

·         Relationship Difficulties – emotional conflict, poor communication or feeling unsupported.

·         Family Problems – demands from other family members or disputes.

·         Financial Problems – debt problems, or simply trying to make ends meet, especially if you are unable to work for any reason. 

How To Reduce Stress

Whilst it’s difficult to eliminate some of these sources of stress there are ways to help reduce the amount of stress in your life. 

·         Exercise – not only does exercise produce endorphins which make us feel happy and energised, regular physical exercise also reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) and gets rid of toxins from the body.

 ·         Reduce sugars and caffeine – whilst we all love our daily fix, sugars and caffeine aggravate the nervous system causing it to increase your blood pressure.  Caffeine also hinders sleep therefore depriving you of a good night’s rest which is key to dealing with stress.

·         Eat plenty of fresh fruit & vegetables – these provide a range of vitamins and minerals that are great for reducing stress.

·         Get a massage – this not only helps to ease muscle tension, it can impact your hormones in a positive way too.

·         Get plenty of sleep – getting enough sleep improves your overall health, reduces your stress levels and helps you to look better.

 ·         Talk therapy – simply talking things through with a trained specialist or close friend can help to reduce your stress and / or anxiety. There are various options such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which help to deal with negative thought patterns.

Incorporate Relaxation Into Your Life

Whilst we are all so busy juggling various commitments it can be difficult to relax.  Yet finding just a short amount of time each day to unwind can be very beneficial and is essential to our wellbeing.  Adopting any one of these simple coping mechanisms can make a world of difference. Relaxation can lower blood pressure, increase blood flow to major muscles, reduce anger and frustration, improve concentration and mood, reduce stress hormones, reduce muscle tension, improve your immune system and boost your memory!  Here are a few tips on how to incorporate relaxation into your life.

·         Meditate – benefits of meditation include stress reduction, lowered blood pressure and easing feelings of pain. You don’t need to take mediation to extremes; just sitting in a quiet, dark room with scented candles can be equally effective at creating tranquillity. 

·         Practice breathing techniques – this will slow you down and also reduce your heart rate.

·         Spend time doing activities you enjoy – whether it’s gardening, swimming, walking, reading, painting or whatever it is you like doing; this will take your focus off your problems or worries and help you to focus on something positive.

·         Plan more ‘You’ time – spending time alone just to unwind can be extremely beneficial.  Take a long bath, phone a friend, read a book, listen to music, play a game or bake a cake. 

·         Laughter – often referred to as the best medicine, a light hearted chat with friends that make you laugh or watching your favourite stand up DVD, sit com or comedy show can quickly take your mind off the things causing you worry.

·         Pamper yourself – schedule some time to give yourself some regular pamper treatment at home such as painting your nails, body moisturising, fake tanning, exfoliating, giving yourself a foot massage or pedicure, applying a face mask or simply a long hot soak in the bath.  There are a wide range of products available to help you with this such as eye masks, face masks, and a variety of reflexology products many of which are available at http://www.club-cleo.com/wellbeing-spa/.

Cut The Cost Of Your Facial Treatment & Have Your Beauty Salon At Home With Cleo Q

Many women maintain a more youthful appearance by regularly visiting a salon for non-surgical face lift treatments and regular facials.

Whilst salon based treatments offer a safer alternative to invasive procedures, the ongoing cost and time-commitment can make it a non-viable long term solution. Unless regular treatment is maintained only temporary results will be achieved.

At an average cost per visit of around £45, salon treatments can soon add up.  Wouldn’t it be great to be able to have all the benefits of regular salon treatments without having to leave the house? With Cleo Q, you only need to make a one off investment of around 6 salon visits, in return for a lifetime’s worth of anti-aging treatment in the convenience of your own home.  

What does Cleo Q Do? 

leo Q Facial Toning System is an Award Winning non-surgical face lift which can:  

ü  Diminish lines & wrinkles

ü  Tighten & firm loose, sagging skin

ü  Rebuild & strengthen muscle tone

ü  Boost collagen production

ü  Restore a radiant complexion

How Does Cleo Q Work?

Cleo Q works in harmony with your body providing natural ways to defy the ageing process.  It helps you to diminish fine lines and wrinkles and rediscover a radiant complexion! 

Via strategically positioned medical grade electro pads, Cleo Q transmits a unique series of multi-sequential intermittent pulses that replicate the rapid nerve signals inherent in youth to plump, revive and retrain your deep muscle layers.  These deep muscles are responsible for supporting your facial structure and providing vital nutrition to the skin. Deep muscle activity builds muscle protein, which firms up your skin and encourages your body to produce youthful nutrients such as collagen and elastin.  Carried through re-oxygenated blood they provide hydration and nourishment to the dermis, fuelling cell regeneration.

Cleo Q offers multiple workout options for different treatable areas, so whichever part of your face concerns you the most Cleo has the answer.  Specific problems you can tackle include:

·         Lift hooded eye lids and eyebrows to give you a more youthful & alert appearance

·         Minimise frown lines, brow furrows and crow’s feet, softening your expression

·         Reduce puffiness, bags and dark circles by stimulating lymph drainage to remove metabolic waste

·         Lift, plump and reshape cheeks, adding definition to your facial contour

·         Restore lip fullness and shape, removing tiny bleed lines

·         Tighten the jaw line and neck resulting in the disappearance of jowls and sagging skin

·         Boost circulation, restoring luminosity and hydration to your complexion

·         Maintain strong, healthy muscle tone and slow down the rate of further ageing

Being hands’ free and portable makes it almost effortless to use, and with sessions from just 7 minutes, Cleo Q treatment can easily fit into your daily routine.

I have been using Cleo for 7 years and everyone says that I look at least 10 years younger than my years. Brilliant I am currently 47 and it is such a good feeling to be told that I look so much younger. 

Cleo was one of the best purchases I have ever made.

See A New You This New Year With Cleo Q + FREE Body Toning Treatment (RRP) £99.95

The start of a new year is when we tend to re-evaluate things in our lives, make changes and set new goals, be it regarding our career, finances, diet or appearance.

If our focus is on our appearance, often this involves trying to look younger or maintain our youthful looks.  Most of us want to look young for as long as possible so what can we do to achieve this?

Ways to tackle the ageing process?

·         Creams
Moisturising is an important part of our skincare regime as it provides a protective barrier against the elements.  However, used alone, creams aren’t sufficient to provide effective long term anti-ageing benefits.

·        

Botox Injections

Botox and fillers tighten the skin through repeated paralysis of facial muscles that cause expression. The danger of repeated Botox is that over time the brain will stop sending signals to the face as they have constantly been rejected through paralysis, thus making Botox treatment essential rather than optional. 

·         Surgical Face Lift
There is a considerable health risk and a large financial outlay with surgical face lifts. Although often considered a permanent anti-ageing solution, the process merely stretches the skin without benefitting the underlying muscle supporting the facial structure.  The effects of surgery therefore diminish over time, resulting in the need for additional procedures. 

·         Salon Non-Surgical Face Lift Treatments
Salon based non-surgical face lift treatments offer a safer alternative to invasive procedures, although the ongoing cost and time-commitment can make it a non-viable long term solution.  Unless regular treatment is maintained only temporary results will be achieved. 

·         Cleo Q Facial Toning System

Cleo Q offers all the benefits of salon based non-surgical face lift treatments without the ongoing expense or time commitments.  With sessions starting from just 7 minutes, your Cleo Q treatment can be done in the comfort of your own home.  Here’s what it can do:

ü  Diminish lines & wrinkles

ü  Tighten & firm loose, sagging skin

ü  Rebuild & strengthen muscle tone

ü  Boost collagen production

ü  Restore a radiant complexion

What Cleo Q can do for you

As well as giving you a full facial workout, stimulating the muscles of the face, neck and décolletage, Cleo Q allows you to target specific problem areas and tone facial muscles to suit your personal needs.  You can choose which part of your face you’d like to enhance, such as:

·         Lift hooded eye lids and eyebrows to give you a more youthful & alert appearance

·         Minimise frown lines, brow furrows and crow’s feet, softening your expression

·         Reduce puffiness, bags and dark circles by stimulating lymph drainage to remove metabolic waste

·         Lift, plump and reshape cheeks, adding definition to your facial contour

·         Restore lip fullness and shape, removing tiny bleed lines

·         Tighten the jaw line and neck resulting in the disappearance of jowls and sagging skin

·         Boost circulation, restoring luminosity and hydration to your complexion

·         Maintain strong, healthy muscle tone and slow down the rate of further ageing

10/10 Thank you

POSTED BY MISS STILES ON 24TH OCT 2013

The Cleo Multigym is very easy to operate. It’s absolutely great to the feel the Cleo expertly at work on all those muscle areas which are hardest (or impossible!) to exercise. Knowing that my skin is benefiting too is wonderful. It feels like a top of the range salon treatment but without those high costs or any of the inconvenience. And results are showing already. So to everyone at Cleo 10/10 Thank you.

thank you for such a wonderful product.

POSTED BY MRS MEDCALF – SOMERSET ON 7TH JAN 2014

I really love the Cleo System, when people started to comment on how well I looked I thought they were just being polite. However after several years and grandchildren on they are still saying it. I am now 51 and can honestly say I would not be as confident as I am now without Cleo, thank you for such a wonderful product.
