Natural skin care at its best...
Nutritional consultant and author Elaine Wilkes, N.C., M.A. offers a delicious tip to getting radiant, glowing skin. In her book Food Choices Made Easy! Finally A Summary of What All The Health Experts Say!, Wilkes provides helpful tips compiled from hundreds of health advisors on how to get skin that looks and feels healthy and young. Tips she delves into include advice on weight loss, great foods to eat and those to avoid, and money saving tips, to name a few.
So what is the secret to smooth, healthy, youthful skin?
Wilkes points to a fabulous beverage recipe as the answer.
“Believe me, I have tried everything,” Elaine Wilkes says. “But, doing this tip, I have had strangers come up to me and ask me why my skin looked so healthy. Say goodbye to weary skin with juicing.”
Elaine Wilkes is also a Certified Practitioner of Metabolic Typing, which means she matches people’s nutrition to their metabolism, taking into account their genetics, personality, blood type, etc. She recommends creating a juicy cocktail for a vivacious skin tone and healthier complexion, and to help anyone achieve glowing skin.
“Combine fresh green vegetable juices such as cucumber, celery, kale, parsley, spinach, and a little bit of apple for a delicious taste, into a juicer,” she instructs.
Wilkes also suggests also adding lemon and ginger for a yummy zing.
“Soon, you will notice a glow to your new, plumped-up, radiant skin,” she details. “For more added benefits, drink half your weight in ounces of water each day. Beautiful skin is about what is going on inside your body. Nourish your inside with these tasty, healthy juices and your skin cannot help but look terrific. Oh, and you'll feel great, too.”
For healthy skin that looks and feels great, make a conscious effort to improve your diet. Also take the time to practice a regular cleansing routine, and engage in a realistic exercise program. These commitments to yourself will give your body and skin the boost they’ve needed to get on and stay on the right track.

Easy Weight loss with Drinking Water
Does drinking water have direct effect on our weight? Why do diet programs and diet experts suggest dieters to drink more water? You get direct answer for these questions here. If you know the amazing health benefits of drinking more water, you would crave for water.
Researches prove that drinking water and weight loss are directly related.
An abstract by Dr. Brenda Davy, associate professor of human nutrition, foods and exercise at Virginia Tech, presented at last year’s obesity conference in Phoenix, Arizona, showed that people who drank two glasses of water 20 to 30 minutes before every meal lost weight more quickly initially and lost significantly more weight than those who didn’t.
In another study by Davy and her group, published last year in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, she found that people who drank water before meals ate an average of 75 fewer calories at that meal. This may not seem like much, but if you ate 75 fewer calories at lunch and dinner for the next year, you could lose about 14½ pounds!
How does water aid weight loss?
favicon Drinking 2-3 cups of water 20-30 minutes before meals suppresses appetite to some extent and helps to control food intake. Above researches clearly show that drinking water before meals result in less calorie intake and thus aids weight loss.
favicon Drinking water accelerates metabolic rate as water works as a fuel for metabolism. (Metabolic rate is the rate at which our body burns calories). This has been proven in many studies. This directly aids weight loss as our body starts burning more calories than before.
favicon In addition, being even 1 percent dehydrated can cause a significant drop in metabolism, which can also interfere with weight loss. So preventing dehydration by drinking sufficient water prevents any fall in metabolic rate and thus aid weight loss. (This is why fitness experts ask you to drink water at regular intervals while doing rigorous exercises that make you sweat and dehydrated)
favicon Drinking more water helps us to lose excess water weight. Our body contains more than 60% of water. When we take insufficient water, our body starts storing water in cells that makes us gain extra weight. This also might make our face, feet and legs to swell. Drinking plenty of water induces our body to release the excess water stored and thus helps reduce that extra weight.
favicon Sometimes we are not able to differentiate between hunger and thirst. We may mistake thirst for hunger and eat food instead of drinking water that adds to our calorie intake. Avoiding this can aid weight loss. Drinking water when we feel hungry (or thirsty) reduces calorie intake helping us to lose more weight.
favicon Drinking more water daily cleanses our body, boosts immune system and increases base metabolic rate preventing weight gain in the long run. Thus it helps in weight maintenance.
favicon Drink atleast 8-10 glasses of water daily and stay fit.

How to look fresh after a party
Going to a party is always a pleasure for me as I’m sure it is for you, girls, also. Unfortunately, parties aren’t just an occasion to show our best outfits or a fabulous make-up but also an occasion for some excesses.

No matter if it’s a family party or one where all your friends are gathered, finding out some tips which will help you regain your energy for the next day will surely be useful to you.
1. Before going to the party, don’t forget eating something. Be careful how much you eat so that you don’t modify your waist dimensions, but, on the other hand, eat enough so that you don’t faint if you drink something containing alcohol.
2. Don’t mix drinks such as wine combined with beer at the party. If you start drinking one of them you should continue on the same line. Combining them will lead to an exaggerated “happy” mood.
3. Dance as much as you can and when you make a pause you should eat something. Not only that by moving your body in combination with alcohol you get an euphoric mood but you also eliminate all the toxins which invade your body as a result of alcohol and smoking.
4. The first thing you must do when arriving home after the party is removing your make-up and hydrating your skin. Wash your teeth also as it will give you make you feel fresh for the next day.
5. Don’t take a shower when you arrive home because the hot water can weaken you and you risk to faint away. Take a shower the next day and use a hydrating shower gel and a sponge to massage your skin.
