HEALTH and B EAUTYSugaring in focusWHO said you can’t teach olddogs new tricks?

Sugaring has learnt a thingor two since the ’8 0 s.

Sugaring is a hair-removalprocess that has made a come-back into beauty salonsacross the city since itsmore ineffective versionin the ’80s, but the newformula has proven to re-move all types of hair.

Owner of Skin inProspect Road, Walmer,Megan Nicholls said themethod was very popular backin the day, and that the newproduct is safer for peoplewanting hair removal.

“The product consists of ba-sically sugar, water and lemonjuice and is a lot safer thanw a x i n g, ” said Nicholls.

She added that because of

the simplicity of the ingredi-ents, people are not prone toallergic reactions that couldoccur from ingredients in oth-er hair-removal products.

Nicholls said the sugar mix-

people will still feel the pain ofhair being removed.

She added the sugaring pro-cess is a lot more hygienic asthere is no re-dipping into them i x t u r e.

“One bit of the sugarmixture is reused per cli-ent to remove hair, and ifmore is needed it is addedwithout a spatula touchingskin and then being putback into a pot.”

She added hair removalingredients such as wax do

not get heated enough to ridthe pot of any germs that maycome off the body when usinga spatula.

Nicholls said another prowas that sugaring clients areless prone to ingrown hairs,and the hair seems to growback at a slower rate.

ture is only heated to bodytemperature, so there is norisk of removing skin, or oversensitising the skin.

“Sugaring is less painful be-cause you are not feeling thestinging sensation of the hotwax being removed.”

Nicholls pointed out that

Organic, naturalmake health senseIN this article, let’s look atwhich foods constitute ahealthy diet, since there seemsto be a lot of confusion aroundthe issue, especially whenterms like processed, naturaland organic come into thep i c t u r e.

Processed foods wouldinclude crisps, muffins,commercial breads, pas-tas, biscuits and pro-cessed meats. Included inthis category would befoods fortified with vita-mins and minerals, forexample breakfast cere-als and bars, commercialbreads and juices. These aregenerally foodstuffs whichhave been stripped of any nat-urally occurring nutrients dueto the nature of their process-ing. These vitamins and min-erals tend to be addedpost-processing and are gener-ally lab-synthesised (man-made), which in itself maycause problems.

Natural should indicatefoods that are completely un-damaged, such as wholegrains, fresh vegetables, freshfruit, raw nuts and seeds,legumes, beans, whole (unpas-teurised) dairy and animalproteins. Don’t be fooled intobelieving a product is natural,just because it says so on thelabel – after all fruit juice isnatural when squeezed manu-ally, but when the juice is ex-tracted by means of heat (thusdestroying any naturally oc-curring nutrients), has hadsynthesised vitamins added toit, and then stored for weekson end in a plastic-lined carton(releasing problematic ptha-lates and xenoestrogens intothe liquid), you’re not gettingquite the same level of nutri-tion from it. In fact, you’regetting a product, which isprobably quite toxic and cer-tainly very “dead”.

Organic refers to foodwhich have had no chemicalsadded to it through its growthspan (this includes the soilin/on which it is grown), forexample pesticides, growthhormones, routine vaccina-tions and antibiotics. It also

refers to foods that have notbeen genetically modified inany way. This doesn’t meanthat organic foods are alwayshealthy, since you may findplenty of processed foodstuffsmade with organic ingredients.

Aargh!The bulk of your diet should

be made up of organic, natu-ral, healthy foods and at leasta third to half of what you eatshould ideally be raw. You canget this in the form of salads,crudités, fruit, fresh vegetablejuice, sprouts, nuts, seeds,lightly-cooked or rare meats.

The bottom line is that youneed to feed yourself withfoods that the body and brainrecognise as food – in otherwords, those that provide youwith the building blocks yourbody requires for outstandingenergy and long-lasting vi-tality. Never forget – youare what you eat and as-similate…
