Feel a cold coming on? Woken up feeling like you've been hit by a bus? Had a wee bit too much to drink last night?
The nzgirl team open up about their fail-proof solutions that keep them perky no matter what!
Name: Bonnie, Business Development Manager
I swear by: Berocca Effervescent Tablets TO avoid a hangover.
I heard about it: From my boyfriend’s best mate in Perth.
Why I like it: IF you are sober enough to remember to do this BEFORE you go to sleep after a night of drinking, it is a magical hangover cure. While you’re crashed out the lovely Berocca goodness is making its way around your system and replenishing your Vitamin B levels. When you wake up you don’t experience that horrible ‘wrung out cloth’ feeling. I swear by them and I would actually go so far as to say you feel absolutely FINE!
Name: Sarah, Art Director I swear by: Flaxseed Oil TO keep my skin healthy I heard about it: A friend of mine swears by it and would pour it over her cereal each morning and brag about its wonderful properties! Plus my hairdresser also recommended it for healthier hair. Why I like it: I like it because in tablet form it is easy to take along with my women’s multivitamin each morning. It helps my skin and hair – giving them a bit more moisture! I swear by it and I am sure I am doing my skin and hair a long term favour. Click here to buy
Name: Tee, Editor
I swear by: Olive Leaf Extract TO stave off a cold
I heard about it: A press kit years ago!
Why I like it: I remember getting some Olive Leaf tablets in a press kit a few years ago and just putting them in my drawer and forgetting about them – until one day, with a massive cold looming I reached for the Olive Leaf extracts. They are like gold when it comes to winter and flu season, full of antiviral properties that bolster your immune system and have the power to reduce the severity and duration of cold symptoms. I swear by them and take them at the first sign of a scratchy throat or sniffly nose!
I swear by: Echinacea TO help fight colds and flu.
I heard about it: From a friend
Why I like it: It's so easy to take just one capsule a day, they’re not too big and there's no after taste. I also like taking the liquid form, especially when I've got a really bad cold. I know that some people don't like the taste but I just add a few drops to a small amount of juice and shoot it back. If you do get yourself organised and start taking Echinacea early enough, it’s also great for boosting the immune system.
Why I like it: When the cold/flu starts to take over I’m a firm believer in Sudafed! Sudafed works wonders and clears up a cold/flu in a matter of days. If you want relief of a blocked or runny nose sinus pain and/or a fever then you can’t go wrong. The night time formula contains a drowsy antihistamine which will also help you have a restful sleep.
