Are you looking to elevate your fitness routine and achieve a stronger, more flexible body? Look no further than the Pilates reformer. Originally developed by Joseph Pilates, this versatile fitness equipment has gained popularity for its ability to provide a low-impact, full-body workout that can be adapted to all fitness levels. If you're considering investing in your health and well-being, here are five compelling reasons why you should buy a Pilates reformer for home use:
- Comprehensive Full-Body Workout: The Pilates reformer offers a comprehensive workout that targets every muscle group in your body. Unlike traditional exercise methods that often isolate specific muscles, the reformer exercises engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously, promoting balance, strength, and coordination. The adjustable resistance levels and various exercise options on the reformer allow you to customize your routine to match your fitness level and goals.
- Low-Impact Exercise: One of the key advantages of using a Pilates reformer is that it provides a low-impact exercise option. The equipment's gliding carriage and adjustable springs minimize stress on your joints, making it an ideal choice for individuals with joint issues, back pain, or those recovering from injuries. Despite being gentle on the body, Pilates reformer workouts are highly effective in building strength, flexibility, and endurance.
- Improved Flexibility and Posture: Pilates places a strong emphasis on improving flexibility and posture, and the reformer is no exception. The smooth gliding motion of the carriage helps increase your range of motion and elongates the muscles, promoting flexibility and preventing stiffness. The exercises also focus

Juicing celery has many benefits including being a perfect drink for rehydration after exercise, and also weight loss, improved digestions and a boost to your immune system. Celery was originally used for medicinal purposes to purify the blood. High in soluble fibre, celery juice is a stimulating tonic and a great addition to a healthy diet.
Celery and celeriac juice is traditionally used for asthma, constipation, fever, fluid retention, gout, headache, inflammation, insomnia, kidneys, liver, lungs, migraine, nervous problems and weight loss. Fresh celery juice has a mild diuretic effect and helps curb the craving for sweets which benefits weight loss.
Rich in magnesium and iron content, with up to 95% water, fresh celery juice provides valuable nourishment for blood cells. Juicing celery will provide a good source of potassium, which is great for hydrated and healthy skin. A major benefit in consuming celery juice is that it also helps to regulate blood pressure. Vitamin C found in celery helps to support the immune system and is a cold fighter. Fresh celery contains cancer-fighting compounds that detoxify pollutants including cigarette smoke.
Common salt or inorganic sodium chloride is harmful to the body, whereas organic sodium in celery juice is most beneficial. Sodium is called the youth element because it removes acid from the body, reduces stiffness and loosens the muscular skeletal frame.
Celery juice is useful for people who have high acidity resulting in calcification and degenerative bones and joints. This harmful accumulation is obtained from the over-indulgence of animal protein, too many grains, refined and concentrated sugars and concentrated starches. The body can benefit from an increased consumption of celery juice which helps to eliminate calcium deposits before they accumulate and cause harm.
Drinking one or two glasses of fresh celery juice can benefit people afflicted with

To be able to enjoy tranquil and restorative time at home while detoxifying your body is now an easily accessible luxury.
Saunas provide you with health benefits in just a few minutes a day, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated to deal with busy life.
You may have heard about ‘infrared’ and ‘regular saunas,’ and the differences between the two. We get questions everyday here at Vitality about this and also why the Zen Far infrared sauna is different to others.
In this article we will dive into answering these questions and let you know about
- evidence-based truths of how infrared saunas can really benefit your health
- help clear up some myths around infrared saunas
- explain the benefits and points of difference of a zen far infrared sauna
Regular saunas vs infrared saunas
Traditional saunas heat the air around you, whereas as infrared saunas use infrared lamps to warm you more directly.
Traditional saunas normally operate at around 150 F (65 degrees C) to 180 F (82 degrees C) and some people find this too hot to handle for more than a couple of minutes, if at all.
Although these saunas certainly help you to sweat and can provide warmth to your body and a ‘feel good’ feeling, we need to remember that sweating does not necessarily give you actual health benefits (keep reading to discover the facts) like fat loss or better skin, for example.
Infrared saunas function at a much lower temperature of 100 F (37 degrees C) to 130 F (54 degrees C) which makes it more tolerable in increasing your duration of use, plus actually enjoying the experience (you want it to help reduce stress, not create stress, right!)

What are food dehydrators?
Food dehydrators are a great way to reduce your cost of food, increase your nutritional intake and speed up your cooking.
In the past our ancestors relied on the sun to dry out food, but these days it is a process where moisture is removed from foods by circulating air at a very low temperature in an oven-like device including two main designs: stacked shelves and pull out shelves.
In this article we will cover the benefits of using food dehydration plus some great tips on deciding the best machine for your home or business, all backed by Vitality 4 Life’s 30 day return policy, 24/7 customer support and extended warranties.
What are the main benefits of dehydrating food?
There are many benefits to dehydrating your food and getting a food hydrator machine.
Increases your fibre intake
Studies have shown that food dehydration helps to increase the fibre intake of fruits and vegetables. Fibre is an essential nutrient for gut health, digestion and overall wellbeing and many people do not get enough daily fibre according to Australian and American departments of health.
It is recommended you consume at least 25 - 30 grams of fibre per day. One example of fibre increasing in a fruit dehydrator is apricots. When apricots are dehydrated fresh apricots have 3.1 grams of fibre while dried apricots contain 6.5 grams of fibre.
Increased energy and absorption
Food dehydrators can help with concentrating calories in your snacks, providing a longer, sustained energy release for your body.
This is helpful for people who go outdoors on long walks, hikes or camping for example, where sugars are important for long periods of activity without the access to refrigeration.
Increased nutritional content
It has also been shown that food dryer machines i

Easy exercise at home after baby or any break from exercise..
by Guest Blogger - Vanessa Bartlett
Presenter, Author, Instructor
'VanessaB Health & Pilates'After I had my first baby it was super tricky getting back into exercise. In fact, I couldn’t walk properly for three months, had abdominal separation and back pain.
I wanted to walk, but even going up the driveway was hard for so long!
Not only that, but the time I used to have for exercise was reduced by at least half or more. Realistically, getting in 10 minutes was a huge achievement of just some light bodyweight exercises.
Then it dawned on me.
Why was I worrying about this and stressing about getting out with the baby all the time? I love exercising at home at my own convenience, so I got a Vitality4life WalkSlim Home Treadmill.
Now, as a personal trainer who needed to get back into exercise myself I knew I needed to get my cardio up again to shed a few kilos, get fitter and build up my body again without any heavy loads or impact.
Running was out of the question due to a back injury and weakened pelvic floor, plus I much preferred walking anyway.
As soon as I got this treadmill I loved it.
Why? Because it was simple to set up and use to exercise at home.
Yep, n
