A Happy & Healthy New Year to you! Christmas may seem like a while ago, but the after effects stay with us for some time. I've met quite a few women recently who are dealing with tiredness, getting the house straight again after the festivities, winter colds etc. The list of chores seems endless but don't forget to look after yourself too. And some of us can feel a little down or flat in January after the excitement of December. The magazines are full of useful tips to kick-start health regimes which can improve mood as well. Relaxation is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and massage is great at supporting de-tox programmes by improving circulation, skin and cellulite!

Sometimes stress and overwork can be a bit more serious. If you suspect either you or a friend is depressed, it's best to see the GP for a diagnosis and advice. Many GPs recommend relaxation and exercise to help with Depression. A recent issue of PRIMA magazine has a section on 'Natural ways to combat Depression' which includes exercise and looking after yourself:

"Nurture your emotional wellbeing with activities such as yoga and massage, eating a balanced, healthy diet ...avoiding too much alcohol, which can worsen depression, and taking time to relax." (Prima, Nov 2007)

And don't forget, there is £5 off your next treatment if you book before the end of January 2008 (you may make the appointment for February or March). For more details, please call Papu on 01582 623985 or email info@papujordan.com.
