A one point, I was as much as 20 kilos (44lb) overweight, and up until relatively recently carried seven to 10 extra kilos (15lb- 22lb), which I simply couldn't lose. So I know that core balance is the best gift a woman can give to herself. It is a gift that keeps on giving through thick and thin, during good times and bad, wellness and illness, prosperity and misfortune, joy and grief.
Core balance means mind and body working in harmony, which can be achieved through simple lifestyle and dietary changes. It's especially good for getting rid of 'toxic weight', those stubborn pounds that won't shift, whatever you try. If you correct your body's imbalance, it will function more efficiently and the weight will fall away naturally. The Core Balance Diet targets wellness as its goal and weig...

From acne-fighting water to marshmallows that can banish wrinkles, a wave of 'nutraceuticals' is hitting Britain's supermarkets. Nutraceutical is the name given to a consumer product that combines nutrition and pharmaceutical elements and claims to have health benefits. But do they deliver? ACNE-CLEARING WATER THE CLAIM: Improves the appearance of your skin by reducing both the inflammation of acne blemishes and the bacteria that cause them.
WHAT'S IN IT: A raspberry and rose-flavoured spring water infused with aloe vera, plus the milk protein praventin, which makers claim can fight break-outs by spurring the body's natural defences against acne-causing bacteria. WHAT THE EXPERT SAYS: 'While the antibacterial claims of praventin are not yet independently proven, the high aloe-vera conte...

MOISTURISE, moisturise, moisturise is a mantra most often associated with the sun-parched skin of summer, but it remains the key message in the colder months, too. Whiplash winds, central heating and even the alcoholic indulgences of the festive season can all leave your complexion dehydrated. Add to that a winter cold and the abandonment of summery salads in favour of comfort carbohydrates, and you risk entering the new year looking like a lizard.
A Scottish winter calls for a touch of the strong stuff, and few things can turbo-charge your moisturising regime like natural oils.

It has been reported that General Dan McNeill, the new commander of Nato forces in Afghanistan, has authorised the aerial spraying of poppy fields. This policy will have disastrous consequences for all Afghanis who live in or near sprayed areas.
No money is being provided to compensate farmers for their financial loss. The British have sensibly proposed that the poppies be purchased from the farmers and used to produce medicinal morphine. This proposal has been overruled by the Americans.

L ast month I talked about the pivotal role of setting goals when looking at making any changes in our lives. I will come back to this again in January, when I will show you how to fine tune what you have learned, to set effective New Year's Resolutions.
This month, however, I would like to kick off with the basics of what you need to know about healthy eating. It is always useful to know why you do certain things. To know "it is good for you" is not necessarily enough.
