8 Ways to Beat a Common Cold 🤧

A cold usually starts with a sore throat, with additional symptoms like sneezing and a blocked or runny nose following soon afterwards. The symptoms are usually worst for the first 2-3 days, before gradually improving over a week or two.

There is no cure for the common cold, and because it is caused by a virus, it can’t be treated with antibiotics. You should manage your symptoms with suitable over-the-counter remedies and by taking good care of yourself.

Check out our graphics for our 8 Top Tips for dealing with a cold. You know where we are if you need further advice or product recommendations.

Did you set yourself a New Year’s Resolution to reach a healthy weight? If so, how are you getting on??

Achieving your weight-loss goals can be difficult if the targets you set for yourself are unrealistic, or if you try to take on too big a change your your regular routine.

Check out our graphics for some simple and effective steps to achieving healthy weight-loss.

And do we mean HEALTHY weight-loss - not dramatic weight-loss or immediate weight-loss... because the only healthy and sustainable way to reach and maintain a healthy weight is to do it steadily, and to make changes to your habits that you will incorporate into everyday life from here on out, not just until you reach your goal.

Fad diets and intense exercise regimens may result in quick or dramatic weight-loss, but we are prepared to bet that changes made this way definitely won’t last once you go back to your usual habits.

You know where we are if you need more help and advice...
