1. Go for a walk
A professor of Kinesiology advises that walking for 30 minutes, 5 days a week will make the walls of your arteries flexible and functional, peeling 10 years off your looks.
2. Watch your reactions
Nasty arguments and malicious comments, you will agree, affect everybody. Learn to control your anger, frustrations and temper level, and watch yourself look wrinkle free.
3. Eat a healthy diet full of antioxidants
Many fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants which can do wonders for your youthful appearance. Antioxidants slow the process that causes narrowing of arteries, cholesterol deposits and heart problems. Natural antioxidants tend to work better than supplements, so go eat a tomato or some grapes.
First let's ask why we don't take care of ourselves? When I ask people,"what do you think when I say put yourself first?" I often get the following responses"It would be selfish", "I just want people to like me", "I can do it all", "I can't say no", "I'm too busy", "I've just got to get through this first" and "I've got to take care of my kids, husband, parents, friends, etc. first".
If you don't take care of yourself first, you won't be able to take care of people you care about. We like the analogy of airlines telling you to put your oxygen mask on first before helping others. It's simple; if you don't put yours on first and you pass out neither one of you are going to make it.
Again, This makes us feel selfish at first, but changing your vocabulary can change your perspective. It isn't selfish, it's self-full. You're not hurting anyone else by taking care of yourself. In the long run you're actually helping them as well. If you constantly take care of other people's problems, it is very difficult for them to learn they can take care of themselves, to learn from their mistakes and develope their own self-esteem. Taking care of yourself is not only NOT selfish, but it is the only real way to help others.
How do you take care of yourself first?The first step is changing your perspective. Make yourself your TOP priority. Work will still be there tomorrow. Your friends and family will still love you tomorrow if you take some time for yourself today.
People who are just starting out with the concept of being "self-full" might have some difficulty getting started so here are a few real ideas.
Here are 3 ways you can start taking care of yourself
1. Do something just for you.
This is something that is ONLY for you. Take a relaxing candlelit bath, get a massage or spend some time at a spa.
2. Buy something just for you.
Why is this important? Our society values money. It has been ingrained in our minds as how we place value on ourselves. "I can't spend that much money on myself !" Why? Aren't you worth it? You would spend it on someone else though wouldn't you? So value yourself by buying something only you will use and you will benefit from. Try a personal grooming tool; a new razor, a nail spa or a robe.
3. Take time to be with yourself and get to know you again.
"But what will I do? I don't know how to not be busy. "Trust me, we understand ! Take 5 minutes of quiet alone time thinking about nothing. It will make a huge difference in your mood, your ability to handle difficult situations and how you interact with the people you love.
We truly hope we helped start to make you your top priorty.Thank-you for your openness and for taking the time to read this. Take care of yourself and remember, you deserve to be happy too.
Everyone wants to live a long healthy life, but few of us know how to go about doing so. Most people think that as they age, getting some type of health problem or disease is inevitable. This is simply not true! All of the major causes of death-cancer,heart disease, stroke, lung disease and injury-can be prevented by the things you do.The major changes that you need to make is in your eating habits. The problem is that no matter how health conscience of an eater you are, your body will still lack most of the daily nutrients you need to live a long healthy life. Everywhere you look you will find evidence supporting the fact that it is impractical and virtually impossible to obtain the amount of nutrients needed to optimal health from food alone. People that take dietary supplements know and understand this.They know that the most needed dietary supplement to take is a multivitamin so that their body can receive a variety of much needed vitamins and minerals. What they don't know is the differences between multivitamins and which ones have the highest potency, balances of nutrients,and the best absorption. Many cheap, low quality grocery-store brands (and many brands available through supplement stores) fail at obtaining high quality ingredients for absorption and potency. With most of these brands, there is a high probability that the vitamin simply passed through your system undigested, or with a low percentage of the nutrients absorbed.
First let's get one thing straight: If you are taking vitamins in pill form, then you definitely have not found the most benificial supplement on the market. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against pill form supplements, it's just that I know your body will not get all of the nutrients contained in that supplement. Even if you were to buy the highest quality vitamin on the market, the fact remains that your body has to break down that pill to liquid form before it can be digested properly. When your body breaks the pill down, the pill loses its potency and if the pill is of low quality, your body might not break it down at all(in other words the pill goes right through your system without being digested). Even if your body is able to break down the pill you are still only going to receive 10%-20% of the nutrients. That means for every $100 you are spending on nutrients, you are literally flushing about 90% of it down the toilet. Why take your system through the extra step of breaking down a pill when you can purchase a vitamin that is a gel cap or already in liquid form that will bypass the digestive process and go directly into the bloodstream and into the cells within a matter of minutes.
Choosing a nutritious diet that comprises of anti oxidants like vegatables, fruits, teas etc. will go a long way to make you look younger and fresher.
1. Take clean water regularly
Drinking water adequately and regularly helps to hydrate your skin. It brings out the natural glow of the skin, making it smoother and what more? You feel better in the inside of you.
2. Keep your body from excessive sun rays because it damages the skin.
3. Eat good, balanced-diet meals; its anti aging results can't be overemphasized.
4. Get enough sleep daily. Experts say 7-8 hours of sleep daily improves physical performance and repairs the body.
5. Don't amass the flesh; keep your weight in check always.
Making a lifestyle of these tips guarantees you the best anti aging decision you would ever possibly take.
Finally welcome this stage of your life with optimism, adopt positive attiude to life-have a reason to live, passion and humour. With all these, be sure to live longer, look younger and healthier.
If you have high cholesterol, then you are at risk for developing some serious long term health problems. Cholesterol is a sticky fatty substance that can build up on the walls of your arteries and eventually block the blood flow through these arteries. The effect that a clogged artery will have on your body depends on the area of blockage.
A clogged artery may cause a heart attack that can do serious damage to the heart. In some cases, a heart attack may be fatal. A clogged artery can also cause a stroke. A severe stroke will leave the patient with weakness on one side of the body and a lot of times the patient will be unable to speak or swallow. Therefore, they will live the rest of their life confined in a body that no longer works. Nutrition must be supplied through a feeding tube and these individuals must be cared for as if they were an infant. In some cases, a stroke will be severe enough that it will cause death.
So now that you know some of the serious consequences of high cholesterol and clogged arteries, what can you do about it? Most people think that to correct their high cholesterol levels they need to start taking a statin drug that is prescribed by their doctor. You need to be aware that these statin drugs are not all that effective when it comes to lowering your cholesterol and they carry a tremendous risk for severe side effects.
So if you want to lower your cholesterol and cleanse your arteries naturally, you need to do your research. Learn everything you can about natural artery cleansing. The rest of this article will give you a list of supplements that may be effective for lowering cholesterol levels and cleansing your arteries.
Fish oils are excellent, especially when used in conjunction with garlic, for improving blood circulation throughout the arteries. Apple or grapefruit pectin is highly effective for lowering cholesterol. Vitamin C has shown a lot of promise in cleaning the arteries. Niacin has been proven to lower cholesterol levels while raising the good cholesterol levels. Vitamin E in combination with CoQ10 will help to reduce the inflammation in the walls of the arteries. This inflammation can allow for plaque to adhere much easier, therefore making a higher risk for a clogged artery. This combination of supplements can help clean your arteries.
So there you have a few supplements that can be helpful in cleaning your arteries and lowering your cholesterol, which in turn lowers your risk for hear attack and stroke. It is important that you keep a close eye on your cholesterol level by having it checked frequently. Start a good exercise program and drink plenty of water. All of this will result in naturally cleansed arteries.
Being overweight is no laughing matter. Obesity is becoming an epidemic and is responsible for a ton of health problems including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and even cancer. There may be no single cause for the rise of obesity, but the increase of technology and the convenience of "fast food" are certainly major factors. So if you are obese or even just a little bit overweight, you need to start taking your weight problem seriously. If you don't, the pounds will pack on and your health will decline. Read on to discover the natural way to lose weight.
First of all, let's get one thing straight. Fad diets won't work. You may drop the weight initially on a fad diet, but when you have lost the weight, what is going to prevent you from putting the weight back on? Everyone wants an easy answer to weight loss, but unfortunately there is no magic button or magic pill that we can take to make the pounds drop off.
Think about this, how long did it take you to put on that excess weight? One week? Two weeks? Six months? Unless you had a non-stop high fat eating marathon, you probably progressively gained weight over a period of months or years. So if it took you a while to put the weight on, why would you think that it would only take a few weeks to take it back off. So if you want to lose the weight and keep it off, you need to be patient.
The best way to lose weight and keep it off is to change the way you eat. Eliminate those fast food meals. If you want to be shocked, look up how many calories your favorite fast food meal contains. Now do you see why you are gaining weight? These foods are high in calories, high in fat and high in sodium. The only they are not high in is nutrition. So the first step to lose weight the natural way is to stop the fast food dining.
Learn how to prepare delicious, healthy meals at home. Instead of snacking on those yummy chips and chocolate bars, try eating fruits and veggies. Eat six small healthy meals a day instead of two or three large meals. This is the most important tip for weight loss. Eating more meals will increase your metabolism and help it to burn off the excess fat.
Try drinking green tea instead of sodas. Green tea has been shown to increase your metabolism and it is also a great antioxidant that can help you fight off certain diseases. It is also critical that you start taking vitamins and supplements. Choose a good source of all natural supplements and start taking them everyday. You will feel healthier and have more energy.
So if you are looking for that magic bullet that will make you lose weight, stop looking, it doesn't exist. The only way to lose weight and keep it off for good is to start eating a healthy diet.
