Everpure water filters Marbella

Save your workout for the gym – not the supermarket!

It makes sense to have an easy life wherever possible, so why struggle carrying dozens of water bottles every time you go to the supermarket? Everpure water filters are designed to fit under the kitchen sink at the back of the cupboard, with a separate tap supplied for the pure water supply. Just one cartridge will supply around 11000 litres of drinking water. The filters clean the water and remove chlorine and heavy metals, as well as eradicating lime scale problems. If the kettle stays clean then so will your kidneys!
With a constant clean water supply ‘on tap’, it’s more convenient than bottles or jug filters. Cooking in clean water is equally important, as heavy metals bind together when tap water is boiled. Bottled water has a shelf life of around 18 months and by the time it reaches your supermarket it could be a year old. When you turn on the Everpure filter tap, your water is freshly prepared at point of use. Bottled water has received a lot of bad press over the years - The WHICH report on bottled water concluded that it should be drunk in moderation and only if you prefer the taste to tap water. The advice given was, buy a water filter! As well as benefiting your own health, water filters reduce the need for so many plastic bottles - a definite health benefit for the environment as well!

Sanitas Health Cover - Marbella

Is your health covered?

A growing number of Britain’s are discovering to their horror, that if they become seriously ill, they are not entitled to medical care here or back in Britain.
Prior to retirement age (60 for Women or 65 for Men) you can apply for an E106 form, this gives British Citizens who have moved to Spain ‘residual health care’ on the Spanish health service funded by the UK government for up to the first two years living in Spain (the time depends on tax and NI contributions) After retirement age the E121 form can be obtained, giving health entitlement on the same basis as a Spanish person.
What happens if you are diagnosed with a health problem during your cover with the E106, and then your cover runs out? The answer is you will find yourselves billed for all costs. You may well decide to return to the UK, however if you have been outside of the UK for over 3 months, and took the E106, you are no longer eligible for Health Care under the NHS unless you can prove that you are repatriating to the UK, this can take up to 6 months and will need proof such as taking out a Mortgage in the UK.
Answer: Apply for full Health Insurance whilst still fit and healthy, as no Insurer will accept you once you have a health problem, or will exclude the problem already in existence. Alternatively you will need to pay our Social Security in Spain, but this can only be done if employed or registered as Self Employed.
The old E111 now the NHIC card is only available from the UK if you are still paying National Insurance Contributions, and is only to be used abroad for emergencies. If you require on going treatment you will find yourself being billed for the medical services.

Contact your English Sanitas Agent for a no obligation quote. Different types of cover to suit all budgets.

Osteoporosis treatment at Bodyworks Marbella

Osteoporosis treatment at Bodyworks Physiotherapy Clinic Marbella.


Osteoporosis (literally meaning porous bones) and also known as Brittle Bone Disease is a disorder of the skeleton. The National Osteoporosis Society states that mainly as a result of osteoporosis, 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 will break or fracture a bone against 1 in 2 women. Osteoporosis is regarded as a “silent illness” as many people do not know they have this condition until it is too late. If you do suffer from osteoporosis, bones become very brittle, fracture very easily and unfortunately, medication to help combat osteoporosis is harsh and the side effects can be unpleasant. Using a derivative of MRI scanner technology and by means of a world wide patented complex system of air-cored magnetic coils and radio frequencies, German scientists and researchers have now found it possible to transfer pulsed magnetic resonance energy into the bone cells (and cartilage cells), forcing these into re-growth, increasing and enhancing bone density. A number of scientific, double blind, placebo controlled and randomised tests, documented research and clinical trials have shown that this technology can naturally stimulate the bone osteoblast cells aiding in the re-growth of bone with improvements of up to 60% being shown. At last, a drug free and a surgical free alternative to osteopenia, osteoporosis, arthritis of the joints, to ligament or tendon problems and to spinal disc problems by treating the cause, not the outcome.

Pure-Col Marbella - Spain

Strengthen your joints and lose those wrinkles!

Pure-Col has been building an enviable reputation in the UK for the past few years, now this fantastic product is widely available on the Costa del Sol. Michael Carter, Director of Pure-Col Spain, describes how he discovered the product,
“I have always been aware of the benefits of collagen and as I get older I have noticed after playing tennis and football, the aches and joint pain take longer to mend. The more I researched collagen, the more I found that there are many different grades and types, and that lots of collagen products on the market simply do not do what they are supposed to.” Pure -Col is the only collagen product with a unique process called Amino Lock, which means up to 90% of the collagen is ingested and made bio available to the body. Becky Lynne, Britain’s female athlete of the year 2006, actively promotes Pure-Col as it has made a huge difference to her maintaining peak fitness. Pure-Col is not only beneficial for our joints, the product also has the benefit of enhancing the skin, as collagen deficiency is the top cause of wrinkles and ageing skin. Pure-Col is available in many outlets on the coast, stockists include gymnasiums, physiotherapists, chiropractors and beauty salons.
