Sand – smooth away your troubles
Sand is a wonderful natural exfoliator. Try rubbing wet sand onto your upper arms and thighs and walk barefoot along the beach to remove the dead outer cells and reveal the new, youthful skin beneath. This will not only give a natural glow to the skin’s surface but will also cleanse the pores and help your tan to last longer too.

It’s not everyone’s cup of tea to exercise on holiday but fitness experts recommend running or walking on sand as a great way to tone up your thighs and calves and make your legs work a bit harder than normal.

Specialists advise running on wet, firm-packed sand near the shoreline at low tide because the surface is flatter and less punishing on the body. When running on soft sand, experts suggest shortening your stride for a more even-footed landing and keeping your weight balanced to avoid sinking in.

Seaweed
Plants from the sea, such as seaweed, contain more minerals than any other plant source, typically made up of important elements such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and potassium.

The protein in seaweed is more easily absorbed by the body than protein found in meat or fish, and even better, seaweed contains only 2% fat. Sea vegetables such as Spirulina, Kelp or Chlorella sea algae are natural sources of minerals and have been shown to provide detoxifying and healing properties.

If you don’t like the sound of eating seaweed on holiday then Sun Chlorella ‘A’ is the perfect alternative. Similar to many plants found in the sea, but grown in spring water, Sun Chlorella ‘A’ is a nutritious single-celled green algae. Totally natural and balanced, it contains a staggering range of nutrients including the essential amino acids, vitamins A, B12, B6 and D as well as folic acid, iron and fibre.

So, if you’re going on holiday and want a supplement to support your immunity, boost your energy levels and enhance your skin then make sure you pack Sun Chlorella ‘A’. And for those unable to get to the beach this year, rather than going green with envy at the thought of all that you’re missing, go green with algae instead and get your burst of sun, sea, sand and seaweed a little bit closer to home.

Sun Chlorella is priced £19.95 for 300 tablets (a 20-30 day supply) and is available from www.SunChlorella.co.uk, free phone 0800 008 6166, www.victoriahealth.com, www.NutriCentre.com, www.bodykind.com, Revital stores, www.revital.co.uk and good health stores.
