Tips for Healthy Living

Hi,
It is Christmas season,a time to wine and dine.
It is time again to watch our habits. Here are tips to help you
stay healthy even after the season:

Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage).
Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions.
Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts.
Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise.
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body.
Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs, is not only a fitness tool, it is a stress buster.
It does not have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or kickboxing. However, that is great when you are up to it.
Meanwhile, move more and keep fit so that you can celebrate more Christams

Healthy Skin is a Delight

Achieving the smooth and flawless skin seems impossible to most of us. Many of us have been misled by beauty product advertisements and have the perception that good skin care means we need to spend lots of money on the latest wrinkle reducing, complexion clearing lotions and potions.
The truth is good skin care does not have to be expensive, or daunting.
You need just a little efforts to work on some habits that could have adverse
effect on your skin
Here are some tips that may not cost you money;
>Keep your skin clean.
It is considered to be one of the most important makeup tips you can get from any professional. Also makeup looks better or a healthy skin rather than a dull one. So make sure you have a very good skin and you take care of it the right way.
>Try to keep your hands and hair away from your face.
Many people have a bad habit of keep touching their face, nose or chin. This allows bacteria to build up. The bacteria results in inflamed skin and you surely would not like it. Even if they touch the face make sure they are clean and washed. Tidiness is very important. The dandruff in the hair should be washed up as soon as possible
>Exercise also helps in having a glowing skin.
Do it daily. Exercise and sweat out all the toxins out of your body. It helps to maintain a good blood circulation and thus providing you a glowing and wonderful skin.
>Watch what you eat too.
Your diet is also very essential in achieveing a smooth and flawless skin.For a good skin, leafy vegetables should be eaten aplenty. A lot and lot of water help too. In addition to this, it would be beneficial to go for facial once in a while. In the diet, oily stuff should be avoided as much as possible. Consumption of alcohol is also considered bad for skin. These foods actually trigger acne off your skin. Fresh fruits and juices are also good for skin. Whenever you are hungry do not go for street food but rather go for some fruits. Prefer fruits over snacks.
