Think Clean and Green to Flawless Skin



Introduction

Let’s accept the fact: many of us are skin conscious. As much as possible, we wanted to have a fresh, good looking skin. However, many of us failed to recognize that simple steps are the best ways to attain it. We just tend to ignore what is actually right or wrong for our skin. We tend to buy some beauty products that just worsen whatever skin imperfections we have as it turns out in the end. So, now is the time for change. We must do something to beat up all those bothering skin conditions we have.


Think and Act CLEAN

One thing that is true in our society since the early days is, some companies, if not all, that produce skin care products would like you to believe that a perfect, beautiful complexion can be purchased in a jar. But the truth is, a truly radiant, blemish free and moist skin is a result of being clean. If I say “clean”, it means clean from deep within and not just skin deep.

Most of the medical professionals commonly suggest that people with skin problems must practice certain skin care methods that will help improve the condition of the skin. One of the most recommended ways is to clean the skin gently by washing it with a mild cleanser, at least once in the morning and once in the evening, as well as after a heavy work out. But behind that way, there is one thing that’s very crucial for maintaining a beautiful skin, and that is: to create clean blood that continuously supplies wonderful nutrients right to the doorway of each and every cell in your body. If you will start practicing this, there’s no doubt that you’re well on your way to having beautiful skin.

But, how can you make it possible?

Well, these days keeping toxins out of your blood and organs in the body seems difficult. The primary reason is that, most of us dwell in a “sea” of chemicals and drugs. We even eat mostly refined foods. Now, if your main “goal” is a healthy and beautiful skin, then it’s now time for you to have a somewhat conscious effort to cleanse these dangerous substances out of your system while placing in the finest nutrients. There is a particular good news that you must know about your own system, that is, your body is constantly in a cleansing mode. It was created with the ability to drive out toxins as long as the energy necessary for it to function is supplied.

The bottom line is: cleansing energy is more abundant when you supply your body with the nutritious foods. Note the word “nutritious”.

Nature Cures: More Herbs for Flu

The tradition of Ayurveda offers us yet another natural, herbal approach to stave off flu and "swine" flu.

Next to the Lotus, Basil is perhaps the most sacred plant of India. Basil opens the heart and mind. Basil gives the protection of the divine by clearing the aura and strengthening the immune system.
Indian herb: Tulsi (basil) can help keep swine flu away: Ayurvedic experts


Lucknow, May 27: Wonder herb Tulsi can not only keep the dreaded swine flu at bay but also help in fast recovery of an afflicted person, Ayurvedic practitioners claim.

"The anti-flu property of Tulsi has been discovered by medical experts across the world quite recently. Tulsi improves the body's overall defense mechanism including its ability to fight viral diseases. It was successfully used in combating Japanese Encephalitis and the same theory applies to swine flu," Dr U K Tiwari, a herbal medicine practitioner says.

Apart from acting as a preventive medicine in case of swine flu, Tulsi can help the patient recover faster.

"Even when a person has already contracted swine flu, Tulsi can help in speeding up the recovery process and also help in strengthening the immune system of the body," he claims.

Dr Bhupesh Patel, a lecturer at Gujarat Ayurved University, Jamnagar is also of the view that Tulsi can play an important role in controlling swine flu.

"Tulsi can control swine flu and it should be taken in fresh form. Juice or paste of at least 20-25 medium sized leaves should be consumed twice a day on an empty stomach."

This increases the resistance of the body and, thereby, reduces the chances of inviting swine flu," believes Patel.

Step Up Your Health


You have heard it all before -- consume fruits and veggies and exercise.....much easier said than accomplished when it comes to better health.

Here are a couple great, easy hints that don't necessarily call for you to totally overhaul your life-style.

Relaxation:

It’s not always possible to acquire enough rest when you're racing around doing tons of things at one time. It’s truly really crucial, though, to schedule in a little down time (even if it’s just quarter-hour during the day) to do something you truly like, or to simply sit and do nothing for a bit.

Consume a lot of H2O:

I understand you've heard this previously -- but it’s worth hearing once more, as drinking more water is among the simplest (and cheapest) things to add to your day! It’s a scientifically affirmed belief that drinking enough H2O throughout the day really accelerates your metabolism. If you don't consume enough and become dehydrated, your metabolism really slows down to compensate!

Keep an eye on what you drink:

While we're on the issue of fluids, it’s truly crucial to observe just how many additional calories you may be absorbing without even realizing it!
It’s astonishing how many additional calories may easily get added in daily in the form of pop, sugary juices, alcohol, etc. Even substituting merely one of these with a glass of water daily will make a big difference!

Eat slower:

Chew slowly. The advice about chewing every bite a particular number of times absolutely has merit. You truly ought to attempt to slow down when you're eating. If you eat slower, not only will you feel fuller with less food, you'll likewise possibly avoid the common digestive issues like heartburn, indigestion, and so forth.

Consume good fat:

That's correct -- your body requires fat to function. The key is acquiring the correct fat, and warding off the wrong sort of fat. I'm certain you've heard all about trans-fat and how it’s atrocious. Prevent it when you can! You can't always, and a bit isn't necessarily horrific...but attempt to keep it to a minimum.

Action:

I'm not going to tell you that you have to exercise ten hours a day...but being active is really crucial. Regular physical activity is crucial, but you are able to do that in a lot more ways than scarcely staring at a boring wall in a gymnasium. Taking a walk is a marvelous way of not only getting your work out, but likewise taking some of that crucial relaxation time for yourself! You do not have to go really fast, but naturally the livelier the walk the more calories you'll burn.
