From 2017 to 2018, the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ National Health Survey found that two-thirds of Australian adults were either overweight or obese. The food we’re eating, the unhealthy recipes we’re cooking with, and even the wine, beer, and other alcohol we’re consuming could all play a part.

If you feel like you’ve put on a few extra pounds, then you may be trying to find a way to get rid of them. Diet and exercise can be a recipe for success. For some, the diet revolving around handfuls of food has proven to be an ideal way to shed those extra pounds.

The handful diet, known as the Scandi Sense Diet, was formed by a Danish dietitian and biotech company CEO, Suzy Wengel. Rather than use complicated measuring and calorie counting methods, she used a “handful” approach, which allowed her to lose 88 pounds (39.9 kilograms) in just ten months.

Unless you’ve spoken to a health professional – such as www.botoxonline.net – about Botox before, you may not be aware of what’s right and what isn’t. There is a lot of misinformation in the public arena, so it can take plenty of research from reputable sources to get to the bottom of it. Read on to learn some of the more common myths that can clear up some pressing questions you may have had.

Botox Isn’t Safe

Many people may believe that Botox isn’t safe because it’s derived from the botulinum toxin that’s poisonous in food. Yes, the botulinum toxin can indeed make you sick, but the same isn’t true about Botox.

Botox stays in the injection site in which it’s administered, and it doesn’t move around. What’s more, it’s had FDA approval since 1989 for treating eye spasms. Then, by 2002, it was approved for cosmetic use. Since then, tens of thousands of people have benefited from Botox as a form of treatment

Botox is Addictive

It’s easy to believe that Botox is addictive when you hear of people getting more than one treatment. In reality, Botox is only a temporary treatment, which means anyone who sees its benefits will get it every three to four months.

Botox is not something that offers a high nor promotes a physical addiction. Therefore, it’s not something to which you can become addicted.

Moving home can be a stressful event for all the family, especially on the day, although you can mitigate some of that stress by planning everything well in advance and employing a professional removalists company.

Despite taking these steps, there is one (or possibly more than one) member of the family who is often overlooked when it comes to stress reduction during a house move, and that is the family pet. This is especially so when that pet is a dog or cat, who are both creatures of habit.

The upheaval of them moving to completely new surroundings, inside and outside, can be incredibly stressful for pets. While family members might be able to communicate how they are feeling, our pets often cannot, and thus we are unaware that they are in any way upset or even in distress.

So, assuming you love your pet and want to make your house move as stress-free as possible for them, here are some simple tips to help you, and your beloved animal.

The first step should be on any occasion you are visiting your new home prior to the move. When there, try to do a bit of a recce, but with your pet in mind and so look for anything that might be a problem for them such as loose writing or splintered wood panels indoors, and check the garden too for any dangers.

You should prepare a ‘first-night’ bag for your pet, that includes their food, bowls, some toys, and treats so that if the rest of their stuff is packed away in boxes, you at least have the basics for them that evening. Obviously, the specific items will vary depending on the type of pet.

On the day of the move, especially when your removalists arrive and start loading the removal van, it is best that you keep your pet well out of the way. This also applies at the other end when they are unloading.
