Stay Fun in the Sun

Sunlight activates the synthesis of vitamin D, a nutrient that works with vitamin A to build strong bones and good eyesight it is essential for health. Furthermore, bright light, specifically sunshine, can improve your mood and help ward off depression. Overexposure to UV rays can cause potentially extensive damage to the skin, an all-too-common occurrence. Much people are expected to get skin cancer. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays in sunlight causes the skin cancer cases.
UV rays cause oxidative damage and can actually change the skin's DNA cellular structure, creating highly unstable and toxic molecules. These are known as free radicals and can lead to malignancies. Sunscreen, adequate coverage and sunglasses have long been recommended to avoid this damage, but diverse studies now suggest some promising supplemental strategies for UV protection from the inside out. Certain nutrients and a low-fat diet have shown specific anti-cancer properties.
Free Radical Control Antioxidants have long been known to neutralize free radicals and render them inactive, protecting cellular structure. Powerful antioxidants include vitamin C (citrus fruits, strawberries, broccoli, tomatoes), vitamin E (asparagus, raw nuts and seeds, spinach), beta-carotene (yellow and orange vegetables) as well as the minerals zinc (shell fish, legumes, whole-grain foods) and selenium (nuts, whole-wheat bread, oatmeal). Plant pigments found in predominately green leafy vegetables, also have strong antioxidant properties that diminish the effects of UV irradiation by reducing the acute inflammatory responses. Lutein and zeaxanthin-rich foods include green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, broccoli and turnips as well as corn and egg yolks.
Consumption of green tea and topical application afford protection against skin tumors. More recent research corroborates these results and points to the polyphenols in green tea, which contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, one major element in green tea, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), is thought to stop production of an enzyme required for cancer cell growth. Several cups of green tea might be a worthwhile addition to your daily routine.
Index Even is helpful to counteract damage to your skin through nutrition, it remains vital to shield yourself from the sun's invisible UV rays and avoid them when they're at their most intense. The UV Index, a measurement of ultra-violet sun radiation, can assist in protecting you from potentially harmful exposure. This forecast of UV intensity ranges from a nighttime low of 0 to a very sunny 10-plus. It is greatest when the sun hits its apex (noon), then rapidly decreases as the sun moves across the afternoon sky. The higher the UV Index, the shorter the time for skin damage to occur.
And don't forget common sense practices: avoid long-term sun exposure and wear a hat, sunglasses, and protective clothing apply sunscreen with SPF of 30 or above avoid artificial tanning devices and be aware of sun exposure year-round With a few protective measures, you can continue to enjoy fun in the sun safely. Wear your sunscreen--in the winter months as well as the summer--seek shade, cover up with sleeves and pants, and don't forget your hat!

Beauty from Your Exercise

Health is wealth. By being physically fit, it can make a person look lean both inside and out. There is a lot a person can do, such jogging or walking in the morning, playing basketball or any other sport with friends, but if a person wants to have muscles and look lean, the best thing to do will be to sign up and workout in a gym.
Physical exercise is beneficial because it helps maintain and improve ones health from a variety of diseases and premature death. It also makes a person feel happier and increases ones self esteem preventing one from falling into depression or anxiety. It has also shown that a person with an active lifestyle lives longer than a person who doesn't.
The best exercise plan should have cardiovascular and weight training exercises. This helps burn calories and increase the muscle to fat ratio that will increase ones metabolism and make one either gain or lose weight. A person who has never worked out before should do it gradually. Doing too much for the first time can make one pull a muscle or have an injury making it worse. Endurance will never be built in a day and doing it repeatedly will surely be good for the person.
But beauty is not only about having muscles which people can see. It is also about enhancing the beauty within. There are some things one can do everyday to stay beautiful and healthy:
Reading books and other reading material more often keeps the mind sharp just like working out keeps the body in shape
Taking the time out to do something special like travelling, shopping, or watching a movie
Put some form of protection such as antioxidants
Avoid smoking and drink
Stay away from smokers
Start the day with a positive outlook
Hopes them can makes you feel happier. When you wake up, decided to be happy and enjoy the day ahead and your mood goes a long way in determining how attractive or unattractive you are to others. Keep smiling…

Smoking: Damage Your Body

Smoking are not considered a drug by most people, they are highly addictive and are also one of the biggest killers.
Nicotine is addictive and cigarettes are habit forming. Every year more and more adults and kids are smoking do because there friends are doing it, because it makes them feel better at the moment. The feel good usually does not last long. These smoking can kill you, sometimes over time or if a lot is in the system, it can kill you fast, your life gone. Cigarettes need to be discussed as well because this is nothing they need to do either.
You might get a day or so of quit time out of nicotine (think placebo effect) but soon enough, you're ripping nicotine patches off to smoke. Or, worse, you're smoking with the patch on (which is worse than smoking by itself!) The main reason why nicotine patches don't work is evidenced by how people still want to smoke while they're wearing them.
In order to properly quit smoking, you need to break your mental ties to smoking, not medicate yourself with a bunch of supplements and other silliness.

Aromatherapy Fragrances For your Home & Workplace

Uses of aromatherapy fragrances can be use for so many thing, they can hide unwanted smells, of just to stimulate your senses. In fact some real estate agents advise there sellers to use clary sage or lemon essential oils in there home before potential buyers arrive to put them at ease.
If you are trying to uplift your study or office, to get rid of the stuffy feeling, then I would try some of these oils. Basil, rosemary, bergamot or lemon.
Using a vaporizer or burner in the living/lounge room can add a fragrance that can help to prevent ill-health, can balance your emotions and of cause disguise those unwelcome smells that can occur.
In the bedroom for a peaceful night sleep try burning, Rose, neroli and lavender oils to create some atmosphere. If you are having visitors and your spare room hasn't been used for a while try using lavender to get rid of that musty smell.
To get rid of insects try putting Tea tree, eucalyptus, or lemongrass in a vaporizer. And to keep insects off your clothes in your cupboard, place a drop of oil onto a cotton ball and put in your draw or cupboard.
If someone is sick in the home, try vaporizing Tea tree, bergamot, lemon and lavender, all these essential oils have excellent antiseptic properties. You can also wipe down your bathroom using a damp cloth with a few drops of one of these essential oils on it to disinfect it.
If you're having a party for a "feel good" atmosphere you could use clary sage or jasmine. Or for a Big Festive effect, blend oils like frankincense, sandalwood, cinnamon or orange.
If you want to make a spray bottle for, disinfectants, air fresheners or insect repellent these are all make the same but different essential oils are used for each. Put 250mls of boiled water (cooled) into a spray bottle and add the blend of oils which you want to use, put the lid on shake and keep in the fridge until you want to use it and then just spray the mist into the air. My favorite air freshener is 7.5mls rose, 2.5mls orange and 2.5mls clove, this gives a lovely floral smell, or just creates your own. My favorite disinfectant I use around the home is, 5mls eucalyptus, 2.5mls tea tree oil, 2.5mls of lemon, 1.5mls clove and 10 drops of cinnamon. For our Insect repellent we use the following essential oils, 5mls eucalyptus, 1.5mls of citronella, 1.5mls of geranium, and 10 drops of peppermint, I find that that blend keeps the insects away.
