Body Care Tips:

 Which Help You a Lot?

Everyone hopes to have a perfect body but
unfortunately no matter what we do,
it just never seems perfect. You feel
too fat, your nose is too small, your
skin is too dry: the problems are
never-ending. Perhaps it is not your body but your attitude that is not perfect. Realize that human beings are never satisfied - unconsciously, you keep wanting more and aiming higher. It is not completely
 unhealthy as long as you do not let it overpower you.

Despite the grave advice presented above, it is acceptable to correct real problems - like dry skin or the extra thirty pounds
that don't belong on your body. But there is a healthy
way of doing it without letting it adversely affect your
daily life. On the contrary, it should make you look and feel better enabling you to
feel more confident and positive.

Weight loss is an issue that most women
 consider, whether it is to lose five pounds
or forty. But not all are successful and most
give up after sometime. Start with developing
 the right attitude and taking baby steps to
implement it. We offer you tips and let you in on
 little secrets that can help you achieve your goal
weight. For instance buying a non-stick pan can
 prevent you from using too much oil,
or just chewing sugar-free gum can be better than munching while you cook. It is
 always the little bites and the urge to
 finish the extras that get you into trouble.

Remember to keep it simple and work
 on that attitude. Shed the all or nothing
stance; if you fall, dust yourself and move
 on instead of completely letting go of your
 diet and bingeing. The best way to make
 sure you do not fail is to get your weight
loss strategy right in the beginning. Do not
completely stay away from your favorite food
 items; the craving will make the situation worse
 when you stumble on your diet. Instead indulge
 your cravings in smaller portions and in moderation.

Weight loss apart, there is still the skin you have
 to take care of. Not just your face and hands
 but your whole body. Rarely do we find time to
 moisturize our whole bodies. It is then logical to
 assume that the only moisturizing your whole
 body receives is when you bathe. Make sure
 you use a soap, which is mild, and one that will
not damage your skin.

While skipping bath a day sounds like a terrible sin
, bathing too many times is also not recommended
. It will only make your skin dry and irritable.
 Cleanliness is important but learn to enjoy
 your bath as a means for de-stressing
. Pamper yourself with bath oils and moisturizers
. The word pampering is most apt for pedicures!
 You do not have to spend all that time in the parlor
 as you can do it yourself in the comfort of your home
. No matter which products you use and what methods
 you choose, remember to nourish your
 body with nutritious food, exercise, positive thoughts and some pampering!

Make a Healthy Diet Your Beauty Secret
— By Becky Hand, Licensed & Registered Dietitian

Make a promise to your skin today to keep
 it nourished and rejuvenated from the inside
 out! Having healthy skin year-round begins
 with the foods you eat and drink. To get skin
 that you will be confident to show off every
season of the year, devote some time each
 day to getting the necessary nutrients to
stay hydrated and fight the signs of aging.

• Drink plenty of water. While the exact 
  amount you should drink each day varies,
   no one can dispute the role of good hydration
   in keeping your skin looking 
  healthy, young, and radiant. Experts
   agree that when the hydration comes
   from pure, clean water—NOT soda 
  and fruit drinks—the skin cells rejoice!
   Aim for six to eight glasses every day.
• Limit alcohol.
• Sip green tea daily. This beverage
   contains polyphenols, which have
   anti-inflammatory properties that
  protect and benefit the skin’s overall
   health. Enjoy one or two cups per day.
• Avoid simple carbohydrates. Foods
  such as cookies, pies, cakes, candies,
  and pastries can increase acne breakouts
   due to insulin spikes.
• Nourish your skin. Eating healthy foods can
  protect, repair, and slow the aging process.
   Check out the chart below for the top ten
   nutrients that provide beauty benefits.
