Acne and Exercise Tips 20-08-2010 6:45 am

Moderate exercise is actually good for your skin. It helps you maintain a healthy body and manage your stress levels, too. If you find your acne is aggravated by regular exercise, then you may want to examine your routine. What do you wear? Where do you go? How hard do you workout?

Exercise related acne is usually caused by something you put on your skin rather something you do with it. Remove these outside factors, and you may put an end to your workout breakouts. Here are just a few things to watch for. Make-up, when exercising, wear as little make-up as possible. Even oil-free and non-comedogenic (non pore clogging) cosmetics can clog pores if worn during heavy exercise. When you�re done working out, wash your skin as soon as possible.

Clothing. If you�re prone to body acne, avoid garments made exclusively with lycra or nylon. Why? Some synthetic fabrics can trap the heat and moisture against your skin, creating a fertile breeding ground for the bacteria that contribute to acne. For moderate exercise, your best bet is lightweight, loose-fitting cotton, or a lycra-cotton blend. Read More (Permalink)

New Diet Symptoms | What to Expect 27-07-2010 6:50 am

When starting a new diet some people experience health symptoms that affect their health. Often times these are misinterpreted as getting sick from their new weight loss program. The following article explains some of these symptoms and what they really mean.

WHAT SYMPTOMS TO EXPECT WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR DIET!

By Stanley S. Brass N.D., D.C., Ph.C.

Better Nutrition. If I were asked which is the area of greatest misunderstanding and confusion in the field of nutrition, I would immediately be forced to reply, it is the failure to properly understand and interpret the health symptoms and changes which follow the beginning of a better nutritional program.

Food quality. What is the relation of the quality of foods to recovery from illness? It is this in a nutshell: The HIGHER the quality of food we eat, the QUICKER we recover from disease, provided we are able to digest and assimilate properly.

Early health symptoms. What are the health symptoms or signs which become evident when we first begin to omit the lower grade foods and instead introduce superior foods, those which are most alive and more natural than we are accustomed to?

When the use of toxic stimulants such as coffee, tea, chocolate or cocoa is suddenly stopped, headaches are common and a letdown occurs. This is due to the body discarding the toxins, called caffeine and Theo bromine, which are removed from the tissues and transported through the bloodstream during its many bodily rounds...

The natural alternative to carbonated beverages. 20-07-2010 3:50 pm

Chances are you�ve been consuming too many soft drinks. Or you�ve been overindulging in coffee and tea. That adds up to a lot of sugar. Drinking too much tea or coffee actually robs your body of nutrients. Plus a non-diet soft drink contains at least six teaspoons of sugar. And artificial sweeteners actually can induce hunger (not so hot for someone on a weight-loss program).

Instead of enduring a temporary sugar rush that leaves you feeling drained, look to Herbal Aloe Concentrate. A scientifically developed beverage that contains the organic nutrients found in the aloe vera plant. The great-tasting result is a beverage that helps soothe your digestive system and assists the natural self-cleansing actions of your body.

By taking advantage of the beneficial properties found in aloe juice, you also help meet your daily water quota. Medical experts recommend that you drink at least eight glasses of water each day for the systems in your body to function properly and at peak efficiency. Herbal Aloe Drink helps you meet that need while also promoting good digestive health. Read More (Permalink)
