A diary can be useful to spot triggers or temporal connections, in order to avoid them. A change in diet is often successful or, alternatively, one can do relaxation exercises, which help relieve the symptoms.

An active, conscious lifestyle, including a healthy diet, enough physical exercise and little stress, can have a positive effect on cholesterol levels. Alongside smo- king, a lack of exercise, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity, high cholesterol is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Thus, we can all do something to lower our personal risk of cardiovascular disease.

The best place to start tackling high cholesterol is in the kitchen, because part of the cholesterol in our blood comes from food. A balanced nutition, low in calories and fat, can reduce blood lipids and reduce excess weight at the same time. Foodstuffs that are high in cholesterol should be avoided, overall fat intake should be lowered and fat consumption limited to fats that are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Treating muscle and joint pain – sports injuries

Metabolic activity slows down in the affected area, inflammation is muted and pain quickly recedes. The usually painful swelling is also gently reduced.

As the Luvos® Healing Earth paste dries, it creates a considerable suction effect. As liquid is drawn from the inside to the outside, the excess intersti- tial fluid produced during injury- induced tissue effusion is removed. A soothing warmth penetrates deep into the tissue, allowing the healing warmth to also work from the inside.
