iGeneration Facing Lifetime Of Back Pain: Jodie Kidd Talks About Her Experience.

Posted on by

Megan Fox had her tattoo of Marilyn Monroe removed because it had 'negative energy'. We have become a nation obsessed with technology and social media. Much to the detriment of our health. We’re a nation on the brink of a potential back pain epidemic. Experts say the ‘iPosture generation’ spend more time in front of a PC or laptop than they do asleep in bed.

Simplyhealth surveyed more than 3000 adults and found more than 8 out of ten of us have suffered with back pain in the last year (86%) and that we suffer with it on average three times a week.

A combination of work and home screen time (excluding traditional TV) means that over 55s spend an average of 6.64 hours a day in front of a screen compared to 8.83 hour for a typical 18-24 year old.

However, key differences seem to emerge when it comes to the different generations’ use of technology. Two thirds (67 per cent) of 18-24 year olds agree they either slouch or hunch in front of their PC or other devices at work. Their parents on the other hand (45-54 year olds) are more than twice as likely to sit up straight at home, on a chair, with their PC or laptop in front of them.

And parents today are much less likely to tell their children to sit up and stand up straight – 59 per cent of those questioned said they never gave their children this advice.

What do you think? Is the iGeneration destroying their back?

ISSA SPRING/SUMMER 2013: The Garden of Eden

Posted on by

 

The Issa woman journeys to the romantic setting of the Garden of Eden for Spring Summer 2013. One of Kate Middleton’s favourite brands, the collection brimming with bright colours, bold natural prints and feminine dresses which offers her dreamy outfits to while away those leisurely balmy evenings in. Prints have been inspired by the all-encompassing tropical leaves and plants, dotted with dazzling, colourful flowers and exotic fruits, thanks to afternoons of endless sunshine. Spot the prowling tigers and birds flying overhead; a whimsical twist to Issa’s classic and flattering shapes.

Echoing the purity of the setting, come a series of long, languid chiffon and satin dresses. Playful knitwear dresses, which are key this season, feature in jacquards of bright neon colours with extravagant floral embroidery, dusted across halter necklines and hems. Vivid brights continue into coquettish eyelet cotton voile dresses and weave front dresses.

Slip into a vibrant, exotic leaf printed pyjama suit for a stroll through paradise, for the epitome of sleek chic. Iconic dresses remain in the collection, transformed this season by asymmetric draping and fold details which disappear into the waist band with the flattering fit the Issa woman has come to expect.

 

Never one to shy away from a love story, SS13 delivers a collection for the Issa woman to seduce in. The bright orange and pink hued party dresses, are ideal for cocktails at sunset. We see a dramatic turn after sun down, as she slips into a polished black halter or a beautiful embroidered cocktail dress and becomes truly irresistible.

Jemma Kidd opens up about her panic attacks.

Model, Business Woman and Make-up Artist Jemma Kidd Speaks Out About Her Crippling Anxiety, Panic Attacks And The Man Who ‘Transformed’ Her Life.

A national magazine today broke the story that Jemma Kidd has kept secret for most of her adult life. The celebrity Make-up Artist and sister of model Jodie Kidd (who also suffered from panic attacks and anxiety) would appear to the public and the majority of people that know her to have led a charmed and carefree life. Today, she revealed that crippling anxiety and panic attacks plagued her throughout her twenties until she and her sister came across Charles Linden and his program for anxiety disorder recovery.

“The attacks are so random and debilitating that you become fearful of the fear that they bring. You start to anticipate them and find yourself doing anything to avoid them. I stopped driving on my own. I manipulated my life so that when I had to go somewhere, I had someone with me. I couldn’t go into the supermarket or anywhere crowded. If I was going to stay at someone’s house for the weekend, I would be anxious for about ten days before and would insist on knowing how close they lived to a hospital. The symptoms were so real that I believed I could have a heart attack at any time,” Jemma states.

Jemma went online and came across the website of Charles Linden, 42, a former TV producer from Kidderminster, Worcestershire, who suffered from chronic anxiety for more than seven years and subsequently developed his own method of treating anxiety, panic attacks, phobias and obsessive compulsive disorder. “I bought his book and CD and read his story, which was 50 times worse than mine, and it made me realise that I could do something to help myself. Within days, I was feeling better,” says Jemma.

Jemma has since met Charles and agreed to work with him at his residential anxiety recovery retreats in Worcestershire. “I have been on one myself and seen how transformational his work is.”

Since curing himself in 1998, Charles and the team at The Linden Centre have helped over 139,000 anxiety sufferers internationally. Of Jemma’s recovery, Charles comments: “Jemma and her sister Jodie are a fantastic example of how the method works to put people back in control of their lives. We are very excited to have Jemma on board encouraging other sufferers to start their recovery asap.

“We at The Linden Centre are so proud to have guided tens of thousands of anxiety sufferers through the program, which shows them how to make changes in their lives to affect the way the mind perceives its environment – which in turn, switches of the anxiety response in humans. It really is very simple.”

On Tuesday 25th January, Charles will be hosting a one-off live webchat at www.charles-linden.com/webcast . Between 7pm and 9pm GMT, Charles is encouraging sufferers and carers to log on and ask him anything in relation to Anxiety Disorders and The Linden Method.

Anyone who would like to find out more can also contact The Linden Method support centre and speak to one of their advisers on 01562 742 004 Monday- Friday 9am – 5pm.
