Celebrity Tip: Know the importance of Healthy Living
But with all these pampering, celebrities are also humans at the end of the day. They too have their own style and secrets. They look gorgeous does not mean that they always use highly expensive makeup and beauty products. You will be amazed to know that they also believe in using all natural and safe products for their skin as everybody else. There are many Hollywood actresses who believe in all the fundamentals of healthy living which include eating nutritious food, regular workouts, taking care of their skin, meditation and all that is needed for a good figure and glowing face.
We all get impress by celebrities by watching them at television, movies, magazines and more and want to look as gorgeous and impressive as them. It may little tedious but not impossible if you have little patience and zeal to look good. To follow a celebrity for looking great is not at all bad as it inspuires us for exercising, eating right food and using right skin care products.
Celebrity Tip: Eat Healthy Food
First celebrity beauty tip is beauty
To keep your body in shape, you have to have a strict regime of daily workouts, like a celebrity, to tone up your body parts. Also keep a check over what you eat. According to Jessica Alba, do not hold your urges to eat what you like, but just control the amount of your favourite food. Do not starve yourself but do not binge also.
Celebrity Tip: Yoga and Meditation
To keep a fresh mood and calm mind, celebrities regularly practice yoga and meditation. It helps to keep check on their emotions and cravings. It reflects in their beauty and glow.
Celebrity Tip: Natural way to take care of skin
This was about body fitness, what about the skin of celebrities? Celebrities have to work in double shifts to complete their commitments and have odd sleeping hours. They also have to put layers of makeup and stay in intense lights for hours at a stretch, which make their skin sick. They take care of their skin religiously to stay in the in limelight.
They take resort of simple and ancient beauty tips which are common and make use of natural products you can easily find at home. Like Cindy Crawford keeps using spray of a lotion prepared by mixing equal parts of water and whole milk, to keep her gorgeous skin hydrated and moist all day. It gives her fresh look all the time.
To keep check on your bodyweight, you can use the trick followed by Daisy Fuentes. She drinks a solution of one litre water and one litre chamomile tea daily. This is her secrete to burn fat without workout!
To keep a glow on your face and have the firm skin, use the beauty tip used by Michelle Yeoh. Splash your face with water containing lemon juice. It is a good toner which maintains the PH balance of your skin and at the same time inexpensive too.
If you want to make your hair fluffy and lustrous like Catherine Zeta-Zones, massage your hair with castor oil at least twice a week. Also brush your teeth with strawberries to keep them gleaming like hers. Strawberry is a natural teeth whitener.
Julia Roberts massage her nails with olive oil to keep them glistening and strong. Donna Karan drinks mixed juice of apple, celery, carrots, parsley and cabbage to slim down to a perfect shape.
Yoga and meditation are topics some people feel are for all those trendy folks and people interested in eastern philosophy. Actually Yoga and Meditation teach us how to deal with stress and are the perfect old solution to a very real modern problem, STRESS. In this century, stress has become a big issue. Stress has a very real and serious negative effect on your health. It costs the medical system millions and millions of dollars every month.
As our world becomes smaller and communication faster, we need to keep up, and deliver results at a much faster pace. That combined with a global population closing in on 7 billion people, the race to keep our jobs and our lives safe can cause many people to break under the strain. So what do people do? What is the the way out for this problem? Drugs, caffeine, all night working at home to keep up, are what some people end up turning too. However this lack of sleep and artificial boosts of energy and addictive substances may benefit our jobs temporarily, they leave a very lasting negative effect on our health.
To solve this problem we can turn to Yoga and meditation, which has been around for at least 5000 years that we know of. In distant history it was primarily used for spiritual reasons, which is why I believe our secular world sometimes has a hard time embracing it. However today it is an accepted form of treatment for many psychological problems. As well as even aspects of it being used to enhance sport performance and improve memory.
So how does this old remedy work? In terms of yoga, it is a combination of several things: First working out itself has been shown to lower stress levels in people, and a good yoga workout can get you to about 65% of your maximum heart rate for a prolonged period of time, usually about an hour’s worth in a 1 ½ hour class. For me it is a way to channel the stress into what I am doing, to get rid of it. However this also creates a secondary benefit, you gain better physical health, and research has shown people who have better physical fitness are more resilient to stress then those with poor physical fitness. So it helps you when you do it, and then helps you from the results of it, you win in two ways, just off this first benefit.
Second is that many of the yoga poses twist the body and place it in positions you would not traditionally be in on a daily basis. The benefit to you is that some poses increase blood flow and circulation to areas of the body that do not always get enough. Also it stimulated then nervous system and loosens muscles. Both of these things make us feel calm, and undo the effects that stress has on the body.
You can lose weight in many ways. Sure you could go the supermodel route and starve yourself, but who wants to do that. There are a few things about dieting and weight loss that most experts agree upon in general.
First, you need to drink a lot of water. Most individuals don’t drink nearly enough water. Colas and coffee don’t count! Yes, you really should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day - maybe more, depending on your weight.
Water is a natural appetite suppressant. If you drink a full glass of water before beginning your meal, your stomach simply doesn’t hold as much food.
No, you will not gain weight from drinking a lot of water. It’s when you don’t drink enough water throughout the day, your body gets dehydrated. When it does finally get water, it holds onto it and stores it for a future need. That’s when we feel swollen, and bloated with water weight.
However, if you give your body enough water on a regular basis, it releases it naturally. Drinking enough water gives you the benefit of hydration and fullness.
You should always eat a balanced meal. This might be the one thing we learned in elementary school that we really can use in our adult life – the basic food groups.
Proteins and carbohydrates are essential to a healthy meal. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy in our diet, and proteins burn fat. At a bare minimum, each meal should consist of a protein and a carbohydrate.
DO NOT skip meals. One of the worst things we can do, in our attempt to lose weight, is to skip a meal. I’ve seen it countless times: Motivated to lose weight, an individual decides to eat just twice a day. But your metabolism needs the consistency of regular meals. With erratic eating schedules, the body thinks it’s starving. So, everything it takes in – it stores as fat to be used for energy.
Finally, exercise. You just can’t lose weight when you maintain a sedentary lifestyle. People who exercise live longer and feel better. And, they lose weight quicker. But, keep it simple.
Thomas Jefferson said, “The sovereign invigorator of the body is exercise, and of all the exercises walking is the best.”
It’s never too late to get in shape. We’ll give you a whole separate section on exercise, but you don’t have to join a gym and become the next famous body builder. There’s plenty of ways you can get enough exercise to aid in your weight loss efforts.
Of course, there is a simple formula to help calculate weight loss: consume fewer calories than what you burn every day. For example, if you consume 2000 calories per day and you burn 2500 calories per day, you will lose weight.
You might just say “Why don’t I just cut down on my calories intake considerably, hence I don’t really have to burn many calories to lose weight?” Well that would be starving yourself and is not a good idea at all. This will make you weaker, hungrier and you will eat quite a lot after.
Your body needs food and calories to get energy. You need to eat enough so as not to starve yourself and be able to burn these calories and more after. On the other hand, if you burn out the exact same amount of calories that you take, you will stay the same.
The secret to losing weight without going hungry is to make the right food choices. You need to choose foods that are low in calories but can satisfy your stomach so you don’t become hungry.
We found a very interesting study that illustrates how the way we eat affects our weight. It was performed by New Zealand’s University of Auckland in 1999.
The researchers divided male participants into three groups. Each group was put on a diet with different fat percentages (their total daily calories were composed of 60, 40 or 20-percent fat) but no calorie limits. The men were told to eat as much they wanted from the food choices they were allowed.
As expected, the men eating the 20-percent fat diets lost weight because they were consuming fewer calories. Fat contains nine calories per gram compared to four calories per gram for carbohydrates or protein. Therefore, the more fat a food contains the more calories it will have. However, in spite of the lower calorie diet, the men in this group were not at all hungry.
What the researchers discovered was that the men in the low-fat group unconsciously compensated by choosing foods that weighed the same as the men in the higher-fat groups and, therefore, were not hungry.
What this suggests is that the weight of the food you eat may play a more important role than fat or calories in satisfying your hunger. In other words, you may not need to eat high-calorie or high-fat foods to feel full but your stomach has to feel the weight of a certain amount of food.
There are several other studies suggesting that people tend to eat the same weight of food daily, regardless of the fat or calories that the meals contain. It’s almost as if your stomach has an internal scale with a pre-determined weight that has to be reached for you to be satisfied and not hungry.
This may explain the rationale behind drinking a glass of water or having a bowl of soup before eating to cut down on your appetite. It may also explain why people can go on a low fat diet and yet gain weight if the majority of their food choices come from starchy food that is highly processed and low in fiber.
You can eat many slices of fluffy white bread before you feel full while eating two slices of whole wheat multi-grain bread already makes you feel like you swallowed the whole loaf. Eating high fiber foods like oatmeal helps you eat fewer calories (seven ounces of oatmeal only has 120 calories) without going hungry.
So how do you choose the right foods?
- Wash your skin thoroughly. Be gentle with your skin and use a mild, non-drying cleanser. Never use bar soaps and cleansers, they dry and irritate skin.
For Healthier Skin, Avoid the Following:
The aging process is usually factored in skin care because of wrinkles. Can nutrition help slow down the aging process?
Research has shown proper nutrition can slow down and even prevent many health related issues to aging.
Regardless of age, all skin types need sun protection, antioxidants, and health inducing products.
There are four basic skin care types.
Oily skin has a shine to it. It's normally prone to black heads and acne. Oily skin is caused by an overactive sebaceous gland, it's affected by hormones, and it's genetic.
Dry skin, also known as xerosis, is a very common problem and affects many people. Applying a good care regimen normally shows results within two weeks.
Combination skin seems to be the most common type. It's often a manifestation of the skin condition called seborrhea, seborrheic eczema and seborrheic dermatitis.
Do you experience stinging, burning, redness or tightness right after using products? According to dermatologists, the diagnosis has unidentified causes in the analysis of sensitive skin. Inclusive are age, gender, and race and age differences.
Normal skin is radiant and pinkish with barely visible pores and no imperfections. It has sufficient water and lipids.A popular brunette in Hollywood would be Rachel Weisz. First noticed in the movie The Mummy, she displayed a sweet look with just a hint of naughtiness. Being a brunette, she admits to loving the way she can pick different outfits to go with her beautiful
Not really. Like many other fad diets, detox diets can have harmful side effects, especially for teens.
A toxin is a chemical or poison that is known to have harmful effects on the body. Toxins can come from food or water, from chemicals used to grow or prepare food, and even from the air that we breathe. Our bodies process those toxins through organs like the liver and kidneys and eliminate them in the form of sweat, urine, and feces.
Although detox diet theories have not been proven scientifically, the people who support them believe that toxins don't always leave our bodies properly during the elimination of waste. Instead, they think toxins hang around in our digestive, lymph, and gastrointestinal systems as well as in our skin and hair causing problems like tiredness, headaches, and nausea.
The basic idea behind detox diets is to temporarily give up certain kinds of foods that are thought to contain toxins. The idea is to purify and purge the body of all the "bad" stuff. But the truth is, the human body is designed to purify itself.
Detox diets vary. Most involve some version of a fast: that is, giving up food for a couple of days and then gradually reintroducing certain foods into the diet. Many of these diets also encourage people to have colonic irrigation or enemas to "clean out" the colon. (An enema flushes out the rectum and colon using water.) Others recommend that you take special teas or supplements to help the "purification" process.
There are lots of claims about what a detox diet can do, from preventing and curing disease to giving people more energy or focus. Of course, eating a diet lower in fat and higher in fiber can help many people feel healthier. But people who support detox diets claim that this is because of the elimination of toxins. There's no scientific proof that these diets help rid the body of toxins faster or that the elimination of toxins will make you a healthier, more energetic person.
