Three universal goals most of us share are: to live longer, to
live free of illness and to control our weight. Interesting
enough, normal walking lets us achieve all three.
In fact, walking may be man's best medicine for slowing the
aging process. First, it works almost every muscle in the body,
improving circulation to the joints and massaging the blood
vessels (keeping them more elastic). Walking also helps us
maintain both our muscle mass and metabolism as we age. It also
keeps us young in spirit. For anyone out of shape or
unathletically inclined, walking is the no-stress, no-sweat
answer to lifelong conditioning.
All it takes is a little time, common sense and a few
guidelines. Unfortunately, there's a lot of misinformation
floating around regarding fitness walking, weight-loss and
dieting.
Walking is one of the best exercise for strengthening bones,
controlling weight, toning the leg muscles, maintaining good
posture and improving positive self-concept.
People who diet without exercising often get fatter with time.
Although your weight may initially drop while dieting, such
weight loss consists mostly of water and muscle. When the
weight returns, it comes back as fat. To avoid getting fatter
over time, increase your metabolism by exercising daily.
To lose weight, it's more important to walk for time than speed.
Walking at a moderate pace yields longer workouts with less
soreness - - leading to more miles and more calories spent on a
regular basis.
High-intensity walks on alternate days help condition one's system.
But in a waking, weight-loss program, it's better to be active
every day. This doesn't require walking an hour every day. The
key is leading an active life-style 365 days a year.
When it comes to good health and weight loss, exercise and diet
are interrelated. Exercising without maintaining a balanced diet
is no more beneficial than dieting while remaining inactive.
The national research council recommends eating five or more
servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Fruits and vegetables
are the ideal diet foods for several reasons. They're relatively
low in fat and calories, yet are often high in fiber and rich in
essential vitamins and minerals.
Remember that rapid weight-loss consists mostly of water and
muscle - - the wrong kind of weight to lose. To avoid this, set
more reasonable goals, such as one pound per week.
Carbohydrates are high-octane fuel. They provide energy for
movement and help raise internal body metabolism. They're also
satisfying. The key is not adding high-fat toppings to your
carbohydrates.
It's everyday habits which define our weight and body composition.
A three-minute walk after each meal is worth four pounds less body
fat annually. Two flights of stairs a day burns off half a pound
of body fat in a year. On the other hand, one candy bar eaten
daily will cost you 20 pounds annually.require walking an hour
every day.

Exercise Melts Body Fat
Exercise Melts Body Fat
by Tycoon2k Webmaster
If you want to reduce your body fat, focus on increasing the
amount of exercise you get rather than decreasing your food
intake. A recent national study was done using two groups
of sedentary men, one group in their 20's and the other over
age 65. A lot was learned from this accumulated data and it
is interesting to note that there was a significant relationship
between lack of physical activity and fat. Not surprisingly,
the most sedentary men had the most body fat.
These studies have also indicated that the governments current
recomended daily allowance for calories does not correlate with
the body's actual energy needs. For example, although 2400
calories have been calculated for older men, they in fact burned
an average of 2800 calories daily.
The leading experts now recommend that people who want to lose
weight start increasing their physical activity. Just being more
active in general (such as climbing the stairs instead of taking
the elevator, moving around instead of sitting still, sitting up
instead of lying down as well as showing some excitement and
enthusiasm instead of boredom), are things that more effectively
burns calories and reduces body fat. Everyone seems to have lost
sight of the value of being active. Consider this, a half-hour
aerobic workout accounts for far less energy expenditure than our
minute-to-minute movement in the office or at home.
Millions of Americans are trying to lose weight, spending
approximately $30 billion a year on diet programs and products,
often they do lose some weight. But, if you check with the same
people five years later, you will find that nearly all have
regained whatever weight they lost. A national panel recently
sought data to determine if any commercial diet program could
prove long-term success. Not a single program could do so.
Being seriously overweight and particularly obesity predisposes
individuals to a number of diseases and serious health problems,
and it's now a known fact that when caloric intake is excessive,
some of the excess frequently is saturated fat.

HAY FEVER, ALLERGY AND ASTHMA
HAY FEVER, ALLERGY AND ASTHMA
By tycoon2k Webmaster
Hay fever is a chronic condition characterized by sneezing, nasal congestion, runny and itching nose, palate, ears and eyes. If you recognize any of these symptoms chances are, you or some member of your family has experienced hay fever at one time or another.
Doctors call it allergic rhinitis. Most people know it as hay fever and if you've got it - - as 22 million Americans do - - you're likely to be plagued during the spring and fall seasons by such annoying symptoms as sneezing, congestion, runny nose, itchy throat and red, watery eyes. Allergy has different names. Allergy reactions occurring in the nose and sinus are called "sinus" or "hay fever" or "allergic rhinitis." And when allergy reactions occur in the chest we call it "asthma." Allergy reactions in the skin are named "hives" or "angioedema." So you see, allergy has different names depending upon where in your body it occurs.
One out of every six Americans suffers from an allergic condition. Allergy is an inherited trait, a genetic susceptibility towards the production of certain allergy anti-bodies. Hay fever is basically an allergic reaction to pollens from trees, weed and grasses. Unlike garden flower pollen, which is carried by insects, the dry lightweight pollens which cause allergic rhinitis are generally spread by wind currents which make them difficult to avoid. In fact, samples of ragweed pollen have been found 400 miles at sea! While most people suffer mild discomfort with hay fever, it is estimated that more than 40 percent of the 5.8 million children who have respiratory allergies miss some school, stay in bed or feel upset by the condition.
Additionally, complications from allergic rhinitis can be serious. The same allergens that cause hay fever can reach the lungs causing asthma and other complications. Sinusitis (inflammation of the sinus cavities) and nasal polyps (small outgrowths of the mucous membrane of the nose) may develop. Secondary infections of the ear, larynx and bronchial tubes may occur. Also, prolonged year-round nasal stuffiness and mouth breathing may lead to facial bone growth changes in children.
Surprisingly, many parents realize that their children have asthma before their physicians do. An accurate diagnosis, however, is most important in helping to determine an appropriate individualized treatment program. Physicians specializing in allergy/immunology have special skills in the area of asthma management. The allergy and asthma specialist will detect and determine those environmental elements (pollens, molds, dust mites, animal danders, workplace chemicals) which may be the cause of a patient's asthmatic condition. A careful medical history, physical examination, selective allergy skill testing and lung function studies are typically performed. Occasionally, blood tests, home and workplace evaluations, and x-rays of the sinuses and lungs are required.
Unlike hay fever, asthma is a more complex disease involving a reversible constriction of the muscles lining the human airways,. It is more often associated with allergy immune cells and can get progressively worse reaching life-threatening stages if not properly controlled. It can be treated more effectively when it is diagnosed early.
The best therapy of all, however, is avoidance of those things which produce asthma symptoms. This includes allergens, such as house dust mites, pets and irritants, such as tobacco smoke and chemical fumes.

SENSIBLE DIET TIPS
SENSIBLE DIET TIPS
Start your diet with a food diary, record everything you eat, what you were doing at the time, and how you felt. That tells you about yourself, your temptation, the emotional states that encourage you to snack and may help you lose once you see how much you eat.
Instead of eating the forbidden piece of candy, brush your teeth. If you're about to cheat, allow yourself a treat, then eat only half a bite and throw the other half away. When hunger hits, wait 10 minutes before eating and see if it passes. Set attainable goals. Don't say, "I want to lose 50 pounds." Say, "I want to lose 5 pounds a month." Get enough sleep but not too much. Try to avoid sugar. Highly sweetened foods tend to make you crave more.
Drink six to eight glasses of water a day. Water itself helps cut down on water retention because it acts as a diuretic. Taken before meals, it dulls the appetite by giving you that "full feeling." Diet with a buddy. Support groups are important, and caring people can help one another succeed. Start your own, even with just one other person.
Substitute activity for eating. When the cravings hit, go to the "Y" or health club if possible; or dust, or walk around the block. This is especially helpful if you eat out of anger.
If the pie on the counter is just too great a temptation and you don't want to throw it away, freeze it. If you're a late-night eater, have a carbohydrate, such as a slice of bread of a cracker, before bedtime to cut down on cravings. Keep an orange slice or a glass of water by your bed to quiet the hunger pangs that wake you up.
If you use food as a reward, establish a new reward system. Buy yourself a non-edible reward. Write down everything you eat - - everything - including what you taste when you cook. If you monitor what you eat, you can't go off your diet.
Weigh yourself once a week at the same time. Your weight fluctuates constantly and you can weigh more at night than you did in the morning, a downer if you stuck to your diet all day. Make dining an event. East from your own special plate, on your own special placemat, and borrow the Japanese art of food arranging to make your meal, no matter how meager, look lovely. This is a trick that helps chronic over-eaters and bingers pay attention to their food instead of consuming it unconsciously.
Don't shop when you're hungry. You'll only buy more fattening food. Avoid finger foods that are easy to eat in large amounts. Avoid consuming large quantities of fattening liquids, which are so easy to overdo. And this includes alcoholic beverages. Keep plenty of crunchy foods like raw vegetables and air-popped fat-free popcorn on hand. They're high in fiber, satisfying and filling. Leave something on your plate, even if you are a charter member of the Clean The Plate Club. It's a good sign that you can stop eating when you want to, not just when your plate is empty.
Lose weight for yourself, not to please your husband, your parents or your friends. Make the kitchen off-limits at any time other than mealtime. Always eat at the table, never in front of the TV set or with the radio on. Concentrate on eating every mouthful slowly and savoring each morsel. Chew everything from 10 to 20 times and count! Never skip meals.

YOU CAN HAVE HEALTHY SKIN
YOU CAN HAVE HEALTHY SKIN
by Tycoon2k Webmaster
With new research, new products and new skin protection advice popping up all the time, it is hard to figure out the best things to do to improve and protect your skin. A skin care program is the combination of skin care products and a routine that will be most beneficial to the skin. You will first need to consider your diet and type of life-style since these two factors play an important role in the health of a person's skin.
These days we seem to be living in the fast-food age and the condition of your skin is often neglected. You still can't beat the old fruit and vegetable diet when it comes to good health and a good complexion.
Remember to feed and nourish your skin by eating the proper foods. Give your skin a drink too. Those eight glasses of water a day your mom always told you to be sure to drink are essential to maintaining your skin's elasticity and suppleness, say experts. And don't count coffee or any of the caffeinated sodas as part of the eight glass§es because caffeine is dehydrating. The water you choose can be sparkling water, mineral or straight from the tap. Another suggestion is that you keep a liter-size bottle close at hand, or simply drink a glass or two with your meals, and a few in between.
You need to give some thought and consideration to the type of makeup you sue. And be sure to clean your tools regularly. Things such as cosmetic brushes get dirty and can carry bacteria and germs and may cause skin irritations and breaking out. One of the leading cosmetic authorities suggests that cosmetic brushes be thoroughly cleaned at least twice a month. A good way is to soak brushes for about 10 minutes in a dish of warm, soapy water using mild liquid detergent or baby shampoo. Rinse and blot excess moisture with a towel and stand the brushes, handle end down, in a tall glass until they are thoroughly dry.
Keep environmental pollutants from being absorbed into the skin with a good moisturizer that also acts as a skin barrier. Check the labels for those with added Vitamin A, C and E, which help block the penetration of pollutants.
A good exercise program such as aerobics can activate and rejuvenate the skin and improve circulation and blood flow. Also, body sweat triggers production of sebum, which is the skin's own natural moisturizer.
One skin care expert has come up with a do-it-yourself version of a treatment you may like to try. Stir the juice of half a lemon into one cup of plain yogurt. Keep it in the refrigerator and apply it as you would a cream every night before bed. You can even apply a thin coat of moisturizer over it is you like, after waiting about five minutes for the yogurt mixture to penetrate. With consistent use, you should see more even pigmentation and smoother skin in three to four weeks.
Get serious about stress reduction. Skin conditions such as acne appear on many people who are stressed out, and chronic skin conditions then to get worse. Set aside quiet time to meditate or daydream. Be sure to get enough sleep. To avoid morning eye or facial puffiness, sleep on your back so fluid doesn't collect there. And, you can keep the oil from your hair away from your face by wearing a head covering or a soft headband when you go to bed. And keep in mind that too much stress can affect your overall health as well as your complexion.sk to get down to the essential things.

Home Remedies For Acne & Scar Removal
Popular Home Remedies For Acne Scar Removal THat Can Help Clear Your Skin Up
By Tim Gorman
There are plenty of acne medications available, but not everybody is keen on using synthetic products and ingredients on a regular basis. They are concerned that their skin might be affected. So they like to use a home remedy for acne scar removal.
Home remedies have often been passed down from generation to generation, and incorporate a range of natural products. They improve the texture and tone of the skin, and can help reduce the intensity of acne scars. It's no good being impatient though - they take time to work. Often if takes between 3 and 6 months before you'll notice that the scars are markedly reduced or have even vanished completely. Sometimes a remedy might work perfectly for you, but be totally ineffective on someone else. But don't give up - you can always try another remedy, until you find one that works for you.
One popular remedy for acne scar removal which many people find effective is to apply a mixture of cucumber and tomato juice to your face. Tomatoes are known for their antioxidant qualities, and can help prevent the skin being damaged at the cellular levels. It also helps strengthen the immune system and improve the skin tone. Cucumber and tomato are also both very good at tightening up the pores of your skin.
The first step is to wash your face with lukewarm water, to make sure there are not traces of make up or ointment left on your face. Apply the juices in the form of a mask, and keep it in place for 20 to 30 minutes before you remove it.
Another effective remedy is to make a paste from sandalwood and black gram. Use either milk or rose water as the base for the paste. Apply over the whole face, or just in the affected area, and leave it overnight. Wash your face clean with cool water in the morning. Sandalwood does a great job of reducing skin inflammation and irritation because it has a cooling effect.
Tea tree oil from Australia and Neem paste from India are two other very useful remedies. They both have very good bactericidal properties, and many people have found them very effective in treating scars and also in preventing further infection.
Another way of drawing out the pimple and speeding up the healing process is to use egg whites. Again, these are used as a facemask and left overnight. Wheat germ is another possibility, as it's right in vitamins and has a positive effect on the skin if taken regularly.
If the inflammation is severe and you need quick relief, try using an ice pack. An ice pack can be very effective at reducing swelling and inflammation, and helps to tighten the skin pores.
Interested in improving the way your skin looks with home remedies for acne scar removal techniques? Then try visiting Clear-Skin-Solutions.com where you will find valuable acne fighting information on adult and baby acne, the best acne treatments and acne skin care products that really work to make your acne disappear.
