Re: Year's New Solutions!

http://goo.gl/gAzsF

If your New Year's Resolutions have got in a bit of a jumble or you have fallen by the wayside, take heart and read on!

Each new year 45% of adults make one or more resolutions or goals for themselves. But research has shown that by mid-January, 30% of “resolutioners” have scaled back their resolution efforts; by June, most have given up their resolutions altogether.

Surprisingly 50% of people making resolutions feel confident about the success of their NYRs, yet only 10% actually achieve them. So why is this?

The reason why most people fail to keep resolutions is that for the majority of time they don’t think about them ... and this is natural. The behaviours we want to change are unwanted habits and these are controlled by the sub-conscious mind.

Andy Cox, Clinical Hypnotherapist at Assured Effects in Bournemouth and South London, explains “It is very difficult to break habits because when we have performed behaviour for several years we seemingly act entirely automatically and can have a cigarette or chocolate bar in our hands without even consciously thinking about.  People are too hard on themselves when they lapse, and think they need to go back to square one – this is not true. They just need a new approach”

Hypnotherapy can change our sub-conscious beliefs and habits and get rid of our unwanted habits for good.

Lancet Study on Women Smokers


http://www.southlondonhypnosis.com/


Women who stop smoking by the age of 30 'evade earlier death risks'. A Study of more than a million women in the U.K. showed that those who gave up smoking by the age of 30 avoid the risks of dying from tobacco - related diseases almost completely. On average, they lost a month of life and if they stopped by the age of 40 they lost a year. Lifelong smokers died a decade earlier than those who had never smoked.

It is really important to convince young people not to start smoking. The picture is the same for both men and women.

The crucial risk factor is time spent smoking, rather than the amount. Professor Peto said, "If you smoke 10 cigarettes a day for 40 years it's a lot more dangerous than smoking 20 cigarettes aday for 20 years. Even if you smoke a few cigarettes a day you're twice as likely to die at middle age".

Smoking also has more effects on the body than leading to an early death, such as ageing of the skin . It can also affect fertility and there are dangers from smoking during and after pregnancy.

 

Key facts:

* Smoking kills.

* Stopping works.

* The earlier you stop the better.

* Smoking is responsible for more than five million deaths worldwide every year.

* Smoking tobacco is a known or possible cause of around 25 diseases.

* Cigarette smoke contains 4000 chemicals that can damage the human body.

* Eighty of which are known to cause cancer.

* Smokers are five times more likely to give up for good after 28 days of not smoking.

* The best thing for your health is to avoid smoking at all.

Remember this Blog!!

Smoking “rots” brain says King’s College study.


http://goo​.gl/Ce2gX
According to research, smoking damages memory, learning and reasoning. The study showed that high blood pressure and being overweight also seemed to affect the brain, but to a lesser degree. This was the conclusion after a study of 8,800 people over 50 indicated that lifestyles could affect the mind as well as the baby.

Researchers at Kings investigating links between the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke and the state of the brain, collected data about the lifestyle and health of a group of over 50’s and made participants perform various brain tests. These tests were performed again after four and eight years.
The results showed that there was a ‘consistent association’ between smoking and lower scores in the tests, those with the highest risk of heart attack or stroke showed the greatest cognitive decline.

People need to be aware of the importance of looking after their cardiovascular health from midlife and their need to make some lifestyle changes because of the risk of cognitive decline.
Dr. Alex Dregan said, “Cognitive decline becomes more common with aging and for an increasing number of people interferes with daily functioning and well-being.”

However, researchers are not sure if the early drop in brain function could lead to conditions such as dementia.

Lifestyle that is bad for our heart can be bad for our brain too.
One in three people over 65 will develop Dementia.

What’s bad for our heart and head?

1.       Smoking
2.       High blood pressure
3.       High cholesterol levels
4.       High body mass index
Reduce your risk by…

1.       Eat a balanced diet
2.       Maintain a healthy weight
3.       Exercise regularly
4.       Get your blood pressure and cholesterol checked regularly
5.       Do not smoke
Soooo, if you smoke (and you remember this blog) go to:-

    Anti-depression... talk vs drugs

    http://goo.gl/Ce2gX "Up to two thirds of people with depression do not respond to anti-depressants."A recent article in BBC health news taken from a study in the Lancet cites.
    The article later went on to say that CBT was found to benefit nearly half of patients who were tested.
    The patients who did benefit spent an hour a week learning skills to help change the way they think.
    With hypnotherapy we can subconsciously learn to change the way we think for the better, and even investing time into ourselves with talking therapy once a week can make all the difference. As Paul Farmer (executive at the mental health charity, Mind) said, "There was no "one size fits all" treatment for people with mental health problems."
    It is as important as choosing the therapy that fits you, choosing the best qualified therapist for the job, so always make sure your therapist (whatever the field) is part of a larger governing body. For example, we at Assured Effects Hypnotherapy belong to the National Council of Hypnotherapy where we adhere to their code of ethics and conduct.
