Paul Taylor, founder of the MindBodyBrain Performance Institute, says the brain is a powerful tool in making lifestyle changes. ‘Staying in shape is just as much about focusing on the brain as it is about exercising and eating well,’ he says. ‘The brain controls everything the body does but is reliant on the health of the body's optimal function.’ While for some people motivation comes naturally and is a powerfu instrument, it is often relied upon as the sole catalyst for change. ‘Motivation is completely controlled by the brain and is dependent on the chemical dopamine. The biggest mistake people make when trying to get into shape is that they rely on motivation, which waxes and wanes. The real key is to Create a new habit, and the key to…

In an era finally championing diversity and individuality, no one wants to look the same. And we don't want to smell the same, either. Jo Malone, British perfumer and founder of Jo Malone London, was ahead of her time in this area. As far back as 1994, the company was rewriting the rules of perfume and developing the concept of bespoke fragrances with their unexpected combinations of scents. Of course, Malone realised that it was too difficult to have each Jo Malone London store creating bespoke scents for every client who came in. The solution? Fragrance layering. The company trademarked the term “scent pairing” (apparently “layering” cannot be trademarked), which enabled women and men to mix and match their favourite scents according to their mood and occasion. Scent pairing became…

COSMETIC ENHANCEMENT Abdominoplasty (TUMMY TUCK) A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and is performed under general anaesthetic. The procedure suits those with problems such as excessive skin laxity (looseness), excess fat and laxity of the abdominal wall muscles, often resulting in the skin flapping downwards. Typical patients have often experienced extreme weight loss or pregnancy and wish to create a more svelte looking abdominal area. It is often performed in combination with liposuction. During the abdominoplasty procedure, skin and fat are removed from the stomach area and the abdominal muscles are repaired, tackling a number of conditions at once. While liposuction is used only to remove fat, an abdominoplasty can flatten the stomach area by tightening the muscles as well as recapturing a more…

FEATURE The damage we do to our bodies during the festive season seems to get all the publicity for post-season detox solutions. Amid holiday celebrations, parties and not-so-occasional late-night kebabs, our health is crying out for some TLC. But if you're finding your festivities trickle on for months after this binge siege, you're not alone. It's hard for everyone to let go of living life to the lax, especially coming out of the COVID restrictions from the past couple of years. But a routine of carbalicious meals, calorieladen cocktails and late nights is not only bad for your health but it also starts to manifest itself in breakouts, weight gain, weak hair, dry skin, wrinkles, tiredness and all-round energy depletion. If you haven't already learned that beauty radiates from the…

FEATURE HIIT workouts have long been proven as one of the most effective ways to improve cardio fitness, muscle tone, and overall health and wellbeing. The advantages of these shorter, higher intensity workouts are myriad when compared to longer land workouts, according to a study by the World Journal of Cardiology. The study found that ‘for general health and primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been recognised as an efficient exercise protocol with short exercise sessions.’ Furthermore, it found that ‘high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been recognised as an alternative and more efficient protocol than moderate-intensity continuous training (MCT), which is the gold standard recommended in several guidelines.’ Great news for those of us who wish to improve our fitness, without having to leave the house.…
