Protect your eyesight
Oxidative stress occurs naturally with ageing and can be triggered by diet, lifestyle, UV, blue light and other factors. It may lead to serious eye diseases such as macular degeneration and may also cause annoying eye floaters, shadowy dots and lines that drift around your vision. Theia Bio’s Clearer eye health supplement contains zinc, which contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Clearer also contains lutein, zeaxanthin, grapeseed extracts, lysine, and more. Shona Wilkinson, former head nutritionist at Tesco’s NutriCentre, calls Clearer an “innovative” and “important” supplement. Better still, use the code “HEALTH25” to get 25 per cent off right now (offer ends 31 March 2023).

Make big savings on a new bike
Cycling is booming due to the climate, health and financial crises, meaning more people than ever before are choosing to commute to work by bike. Cycling to work will enable you to build exercise into your daily routine – meaning you can ditch that gym membership and get fit whilst you burn calories and reduce air pollution.
The Cycle to Work Scheme, powered by Green Commute Initiative, allows those looking to make the switch to cycling but wanting to keep costs low, to save from 32 per cent to 47 per cent by using the scheme. A £2,000 bike could cost you just £75 per calendar month as part of the free to use scheme, which is a big saving when comparing it to the expenditure of commuting.

Invest in sustainable footwear
Hylo Athletics was founded in 2020 by former Premier League footballer Michael Doughty, in a bid to protect the future of both running and sport. After learning that most trainers are made entirely from plastic, and also the enormous environmental footprint the industry has, if it were a country it would the 17th largest polluter in the world – Hylo set out to make a change in the industry, and prove that nature can perform.
Their comfortable, high-performing shoes are made with renewable materials such as sugarcane, corn and algae, and are certified vegan, too. The brand boasts two unisex shoe styles, the hylo LIGHT and the hylo RUN – the LIGHT is built for all day comfort and the RUN is suited to short to middle distance running and workouts.
Discover a skin revolutionary laser treatment
Avid beauty lovers will be pleased to hear that The Yorkshire Skin Centre, in Leeds, is the first clinic outside of the US to offer this revolutionary skin resurfacing laser treatment. UltraClear laser is the first technology of its kind to offer skin rejuvenation, which works by vaporising damaged tissue and stimulating collagen production. The technique uses thermal energy to heat up the underlying layers of the skin, temporarily revealing rejuvenated skin.
The consequent elastin produces a more youthful complexion, that could result in smoother, clearer and tighter skin post treatment. Designed to substantially reduce discomfort and down time associated with traditional skin resurfacing technologies, the treatment ensures an entirely comfortable experience.
