One Star Health Vacations

Hiya everyone :) I have been vacationing on the island. I have been sorting through the multiple blogs, social networks, radio shows, and other sites I have spending time on and have whittled the list down to my very favorites as to focus on the ones I can better manage. I absolutely love to post on different Blogs and Social Networks and enjoy doing reviews on these sites :) I also enjoy Video Games and Gaming, with a few favorites and am currently working on a few very cool sites along these lines.

Let me tell you a bit about my venture and vacation over the past four weeks :)

This is one of the coolest places I have ever been with a couple of large towns surrounded by various smaller ones. The people of this community are the absolute best and interaction with them is always a joy. There is always something new and exciting happening so be sure not to blink :)

Visiting the various landscapes of the island is an adventure in itself. On one side of the island are lush forested landscapes and farther to the east are desert lands, some sprinkled with palm trees and beautiful water features. Areas so vast that you may not come across another person for long stretches of time and towns packed to the gills, where you interact and make countless friends.

With so much to keep you busy, there is never a dull moment. If you enjoy some great fishing spots, this is the place for you. Ready areas to cook them up are available for your pleasure and experience as well. I become an expert in one of the activities they have to offer having fun and gaining experience along the way. Parties and groups get together regularly to travel into charted and uncharted territories. Get points with the island owners by ridding the towns of unwanted visitors and enemies using your gifted skills. A most relaxing and fulfilling vacation spot.

The towns are equipped for travelers from across the globe with banks, vendors for countless items, transportation, and food. The weather is always beautiful on the island as it hasn't rained in some time, seemingly never :) Always a friendly experience with helpful characters and visitors.

So...where am I talking about? Hmmmm....what is this island and where is it located? The Caribbean? Off Key West's Coast or Florida's East Coast?...

Nope :) OgreIsland.com Come and visit Woodly, Wavecritter or Wyverex and give us a wave (type in /wave) to say hello :)

One Star Health Ways To Fast Weight Loss

Ways To Fast Weight Loss

Other than physical appearance weight affects a person in many ways. This could be the overall quality of life, self-esteem, depression, health risks, and physical incapabilities. There are a lot of positive changes once a person experiences the desired effect of weight loss. A lot of people are searching for a weight loss technique that will trim down the fat and get a slim head turning body.

The first thing that an over weight person should do is seek a doctors advice for them to recommend the best weight loss plan appropriate for their individuality. This will be done after a full physical examination, which leads to the determination of proper weight loss techniques. To lose weight fast and effectively four aspects of life should be changed: what to eat, how to eat, behavior and activity level.

Here are fast tips that can change an over weight persons life:

Fast weight loss composes of a multi-faceted technique consisting of mindset, exercise, and in other cases, diet supplements. Begin by learning a diet food plan that you can easily become accustomed with. Incorporate an exercise plan that allows even at least fifteen minutes a day like brisk walking, running, swimming, and dancing.

Set realistic approaches. The ability to focus and have proper mindset enables someone on a diet to quickly lose those extra pounds. With discipline and proper mind set, a dieter will never be discouraged and lose focus.

Listen as the body speaks. Each and everyone's body metabolism reacts differently to fast weight loss programs and plans. Try substituting one program for another to compensate the body's reaction. Your chosen exercise program must be suitable to your body, as some are not able to exercise as rigorously as others can. If walking is all that can be done, then walk, for this is proven the best exercise. Muscles burn more calories than fat so it's best to put on a little muscle.

Eating more fibers makes a person full sooner and stays in the tummy longer, slowing down the rate of digestion. A single serving of whole grain bread moves fat through the digestive system faster. Grains turn into blood sugar and spikes the body's insulin level, making the body more energized. Ready to tell the body when it should stop burning fats or start storing.

Keep away from fried foods especially deep fried as this contains a great amount of fat. Although fish and chicken appear leaner than beef, this white meat can contain more fat when it is fried. It is recommended for those on a strict diet to opt for grilled food as this does not have or contains less amounts of fat after the food is cooked.

Drink lots of fluid. Drinking at least six to eight glasses of water a day keeps the body refreshed. Since weight loss depends on how the body eliminates body wastes, the body must stay hydrated.

All in all, discipline and consistency is still the best practice and the key to a rapid weight loss success. Light dieting, working out regularly, and right amount of supplementation everyday will result in faster weight loss than having a massive action only to be followed by a return to old habits. This would only lead to gaining more weight than when the weight loss plan had started.

I found this recent article most informative on food allergies:

"Are Your Health Problems Caused by Food Allergies or Sensitivities?
Have you ever considered that some of your chronic health problems could be related to food allergies or sensitivities? Current research suggests that food sensitivities may be more common than you think.

Although certain foods may be healthy for most people, if you are allergic to them, these foods can be deadly. About 2% of people in the United States suffer from these true food allergies, and many, many more suffer from sensitivities to foods.

Although an individual could be allergic to any given food, such as vegetables, fruits, and meats, there are eight foods that account for about 90% of all food allergic reactions. These are: milk, egg, peanut, tree nut (walnut, cashew, etc.), shellfish, fish, soy, and wheat." READ MORE

One Star Health Fitness

Fitness

Health is Wealth. By being physically fit, feeling better can make a person look radiant 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 workout in a gym situation, either as a member of an city gym, a large chain gym or having your equipment with you at your home.

One should first consult a doctor before undergoing any form of exercise.

Physical exercise is beneficial because it helps maintain and improve your health. You may be saved from a variety of diseases and premature death. It also makes a person feel happier and increases your self esteem, preventing you from falling into depression or anxiety. Studies show people with an active lifestyle live longer.

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 metabolism and make you either gain or lose weight.

A person who has never worked out before should do it gradually. Doing it too much for the first time can make you pull a muscle or have an injury and make it worse. Endurance will never be built in a day and doing it repeatedly will surely be good to the person. A bit at a time, adding more every 3 to 7 days or as you decide.

Focusing on certain parts in the body can help make it improve. A good example is going to the gym and doing a workout more often in a specific area such as the abs can give you a 6 pack. They have said "target exercise" doesn't work ... uhhhh .. yes it does, exercise in general works, if you are "targeting" only your stomach for weight loss for instance, the exercises you do for the stomach do not ONLY effect that area, you are also working back muscles, leg muscles, etc.

But beauty is not only about having muscles people can see. It is also about enhancing the beauty within.

Here are some things you 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.

Work no matter what kind it is produces stress. Reduce this by taking time out to do something special like lying in a hot tub, shopping or watching a movie. Studies have shown stress causes tiredness, irritability, etc, and makes us look unhealthy as well as actually be unhealthy.

Pollution is something people cannot control given the size of the problem. It is best to put some form of protection such as beauty products that contain antioxidants that protect the skin from damage when you must go out into a pollution damaged environment. There are products available for this and choosing the right one with the help of a dermatologist can slow or stop the damage to your skin and health.

Give up some vices. Smoking and drinking in excess to name a few.

Stay away from processed sugar filled energy drinks. Get a boost from a no sugar green energy drink instead.

It is best to always start the day with a positive outlook. Just as studies have shown that exercise makes a person feel happier, smiling produces the same effect. A smile can do a lot and it is positively contagious. It brightens the day of not only one but others as well.

One Star Health Fitness Models

Want To Become a Fitness Model?

Everyone is busy. But considering what is at stake, making time for exercise needs to be a priority right now. Thirty minutes a day is not too much when you get right down to it. Cut one prime-time show out of your evening television-viewing schedule. Get up a half-hour earlier each morning. Use half of your lunch hour for a brisk walk. You can find time if you look hard enough for it.

In fact, there are people who find time to manage and endorse the advantages of physical fitness just so they can prove to the world what a physically fit person can look like.

It is for this reason that most people contend that fitness models are one of the healthiest and most appealing people in the world. They embody the perfect concept of a physically fit person. Fitness models are the showmen of health, life, and vigor.

In reality, virtually everyone who has the capability to move can exercise to some degree; and everyone who is capable of projecting the benefits of exercise and physical fitness could be a fitness model.

If you think that you have what it takes to be a fitness model, here are some tips on how to be come one.

Escape the common notion of everybody that fitness is just a matter of the body figure.

The problem with the society today is that people tend to admire and look up to females who are thin and sexy and to males have brawny, muscular biceps, triceps, and wonderful abs.

The upshot is that people tend to exert so much effort in exercise not because they want to be healthy and fit but because they want to look like the fitness models that they usually see in TV, posters, and magazines.

To be a fitness model, you should start working your way to a healthier you and not just a sexier, physically attractive person that you want to be.

After all, being a fitness model does not necessarily mean you have to have a fashion model body size.

Believe in the saying, You are what you eat. This is one of the truest sayings ever. What goes in...Well, you know. Know that "Nothing, and I mean Nothing! Tastes as Good as being Healthy FEELS!

If you want to be a fitness model, you have to believe that our body shows what kinds of food we eat. Your body will also depict the kind of physical activities that you have in life.

If you do not conform to this belief, chances are, you will find it hard to be a fitness model, and to inform the people what it is like to be physically fit.

Live a healthy lifestyle (no brainer here ;)

Genes play big roles in a person’s health. But these do not influence what you will eat at breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and the kind of activity that you will engage in. You've heard it before, "Take The Stairs" instead of the elevator or escalator, Park a bit further away from the shop or your work, these little extra steps WILL add up and get you where you want to be in more ways than one ;)

If your lifestyle will not be healthy, chances are, you can never be a fitness model.

Have a positive self image

In order to be a fitness model, you have to incorporate positive body image in your life. This means that you should love your body in spite of what is happening in the environment or the occurrences in your life.

You should never wish for a body that you know it is not yours. Do not burden yourself into thinking that life could have been better if you only have thinner thighs or beautiful abs.

Through positive self-image, you are able to gain respect for yourself, which in turn generates others to respect you and admire you.

Fakin' it until you make it, think on this, have you ever seen a talent show? And there were 2 performers that stood out, one because you knew they would have one on their talent but, they had no confidence and held back, acted shy or just didn't give it their all, then the other one actually won! They may not have been the most talented, but they won because of the way they presented themselves :)

The key point here is that, being a fitness model is not all about vanity and physical attributes alone. What matters most is the beauty of being physically fit and healthiness that radiates from your body.

The studies show that around 70 million energy drinks are consumed a day... Yikes, every day :)

And that one of the best ways to regain and maintain PH is to consume more greens.

Most energy drinks on the market today either have entirely too much sugar or are using a sweetening substitute that may not be very good for you either.

The most readily heard complaint from Physicians today is lack of energy by their patients, along with weight gain, and poor digestion.

One Star Health Skin Care Vitamin C

Vitamin C and Skin Care

Vitamin C is often thought of as a wrinkle fighter or an anti-aging agent. The main objective of using a Vitamin C Skin Care, in scientific terms is to increase the structural protein that is found in skin, collagen. The additional benefit of Vitamin C skin care is its countering of free radicals which cause damage to the skin.

Vitamin C skin care faces a major challenge today. This is related to the oxidation tendency of Vitamin C skin care products. On coming in contact with air, the Vitamin C in the Vitamin C skin care products gets oxidized making the Vitamin C skin care product useless rather counter productive. The oxidized Vitamin C turns the color to a brownish so check before buying a Vitamin C skin care product. Even after you buy a Vitamin C skin care product, you need to store it properly and keep checking that it’s still good to use.

The manufacturers of Vitamin C skin care products have tried to deal with this oxidation problem and research on Vitamin C skin care products is on the top of their list. One such method of retaining effectiveness of Vitamin C skin care products for a long term is to keep a high concentration at around 10% of Vitamin C. However, this makes the Vitamin C skin care products even more expensive. The other way is to use Vitamin C derivatives like ascorbyl palmitate and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. These are not only more stable but also inexpensive. Even though the derivative based products are not as effective as the Vitamin C skin care products, their stability against oxidation is a very desirable feature that makes them very attractive. These are also known to be less irritating too. Not everyone responds to Vitamin C treatments. It’s not a magic potion in any way.

One Star Fitness and Your Way to a Healthier You

Many people end up abandoning perfectly good fitness programs and weight-loss regimens before they even lace up their sneakers.

Why? Because in a world filled with fast food, instant gratification in online purchasing, and instant messaging, anything without a quick payoff goes against the grain of the typical American instant gratification ethic. While it would be nice to actually drop inches in just a few days like what most miracle ads proclaim, managing weight and losing weight through physical fitness is a slow and steady process that takes time and commitment.

Setting weight management goals for yourself can be a good motivator. Gradual weight loss, for those people who wish to shed off some extra pounds, is usually the safest.

That is why health and fitness experts had come up with the idea of lifetime fitness in order to teach people set realistic goals. These lifetime fitness programs generates dietary regimens that cut your normal calorie consumption for your weight by 500 to 1,000 per day, so will burning the same amount with exercise. In turn, this will definitely encourage healthier weight loss.

A lifetime fitness commitment teaches you how to maintain a physically fit body at the same time enjoy and live a happy, contented life. It gives you the chance to strike a balance between the two (exercise and diet), and make exercise, be it team sports, cycling, or walking, something you will truly enjoy.

"BENEFITS OF COFFEE IN MODERATION
In large quantities, coffee - can be bad for your health. However, researchers at Harvard have recently shown that drinking coffee in moderation may not only be harmless, but can possibly have positive benefits.


Among these benefits are:

~ Lowering your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes

~ Lowering your risk of developing gallstones

~Lowering your risk of Colon cancer

~ Lowering your risk of Liver damage and Parkinson's disease.

Wine

My Dad sent this to me as an email and I enjoyed it so much I had to share :)

To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine ... and those who don't.

As Ben Franklin said: "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria."

In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service :)

One Star Health Vitamin B5

One Star Health Vitamin B5

Vitamin B5 is also known as Pantothenic Acid. Vitamin B5 is the most prolific of all the vitamins and is found in every type of food. In fact, it is impossible for a person to consume less Vitamin B5 than they need. That means that there is no little possibility that a person can have a Vitamin B5 deficiency. For this reason, there is actually no recommended daily amount that health professionals can state as everyone obtains more than enough from their normal food consumption. However, even though there is no need to calculate a recommended daily allowance it does not mean that the Vitamin B5 is not vital for a healthy body and mind. In fact, Vitamin B5 is essential for turning food into energy. Vitamin B5 is responsible for turning the fats and carbohydrates into energy.

Some Vitamin B5 can be found in almost every food whether it is animal or vegetable. Obviously there are some sources of the Vitamin B5 that are better than others but a balanced diet will provide more than enough. The foods with the highest Vitamin B5 content are organ meats, salmon, eggs, beans, milk, and whole grains. It is worth noting that it is lost when grains are milled into flour and tends not to be added back in. Processed grain foods such as bread, pasta, rice, breakfast cereal, and baked goods are not good sources of the B5 vitamin.

Vitamin B5 is the most effective when it is combined with other B vitamins especially thiamine or B1, riboflavin or B2, niacin or B3, and biotin. Along with these other B vitamins, the Vitamin B5 is an integral part in a number of processes. The most important of these is the production of energy from food that is consumed. Vitamin B5 is also required for releasing energy from fats.

Interestingly, Vitamin B5 is also considered to be helpful in reducing stress. This is chiefly due to the fact that during periods of stress, the body produces more of certain hormones such as adrenalin and these require the B5 vitamin. There are many theories as to the benefits of the Vitamin B5 but there is no need for the majority of people to actively seek out foods that are high in B5 as they are likely to be consuming far more than is needed already. There are no adverse effects to consuming too much Vitamin B5.

Always, before beginning a food supplement program, check with your health care professionals. ;)

Vitamin D and You

Vitamin D and You

The Vitamin D is the only vitamin that is not obtained from foods that are consumed. Instead, Vitamin D is actually obtained by sunlight on the skin. There has been a lot of media coverage about the dangers of getting too much sun but it is essential that the skin is exposed to sunlight to obtain the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin D. In reality, the amount of time that a person has to spend in the sun to receive a sufficient dose of the D vitamin is extremely small and just a few minutes a day will be sufficient and not have any adverse effects from the amount of ultra-violet light received.

The most important function of Vitamin D is to help control how much calcium is absorbed from food. The majority of the calcium is used to build strong teeth and bones but it is also needed to send messages along the nerves and to help muscles, such as the heart muscles, to contract. It is Vitamin D that ensures that there is always sufficient calcium in the blood to perform these tasks. Other functions that require Vitamin D relate to the immune system and it is believed that it is also a contributing factor in reducing the risk of contracting cancer and, in particular, colon cancer.

One Star Health Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is one of the most versatile of the B vitamins and yet the body only requires a small amount. Vitamin B6 works closely with all the other B vitamins, especially niacin and folic acid, and contributes to numerous functions in the body. Amino acids are converted by Vitamin B6 into proteins and it is also required for transforming stored sugar within the body into essential energy. Basically, Vitamin B6 is essential for converting the proteins that are consumed into proteins that the body needs and also for converting the carbohydrates from the form that they are stored in the body to a form that can be used for extra energy.

The body requires a number of different proteins and it is Vitamin B6 that ensures that the correct forms are available. For example, Vitamin B6 will create hemoglobin for carrying oxygen in the blood cells, hormones for regulating blood pressure, neurotransmitters and various enzymes.

The recommended daily allowance for the B6 vitamin is only around 2.0mg but this seemingly insignificant amount is used extremely efficiently within the body to produce over sixty different enzymes. The best sources of the B6 vitamin are high-protein foods such as eggs, fish, poultry, and meat and it is also added to breakfast cereals and bread to ensure that everyone is able to consume their recommended daily allowance, even if they do not eat meat products. An additional amount of Vitamin B6 may be beneficial for the heart and immune system. Vitamin B6 supplements are sometimes required by asthmatics and diabetics. However, it is important to be aware that large doses of the Vitamin B6 can be toxic.

As the Vitamin B6 is found in many common foods the majority of people receive sufficient amounts of the vitamin from their normal diet. There are some groups that may need to take a Vitamin B6 supplement to ensure that they obtain the recommended daily allowance. For example, pregnant or breastfeeding women will need a slightly higher amount of the Vitamin B6 to allow for the amount of the vitamin that is being absorbed by the baby although it is possible to obtain the extra Vitamin B6 from an increased consumption of high-protein foods. Strict vegetarians or vegans, however, and children who do not eat animal products may need a Vitamin B6 supplement as vegetables and fruits are poor sources of the Vitamin B6.

One Star Health Vitamins For Healthy Hair

"As an eagle stirs up his nest, so God stirs up his children."

If you get pushed out of Jeruselum, then God is opening up Sumeria!

Transition is coming, God is about to take you to a new level.

Sometimes when GOD Closes a door, it is because HE does not want us to go back :)

GODs dream for our life is much bigger than your own.

Vitamins For Healthy Hair

There a number of different specific hair vitamins and minerals that can play a major role in helping a person have a healthy head of hair. If a person does not have sufficient hair vitamins then the deficiencies can lead to thinning hair or even total baldness in the most severe cases. The fact is that the state of a person’s hair reflects the overall condition of their body. Extra hair vitamins are likely to be needed if a person is generally unwell or is undernourished as their hair will show damage too and may even stop growing.

Some of the most important hair vitamins that a person needs to have healthy hair include B6, biotin, and folic acid. The best way to ensure that a person receives enough of these essential hair vitamins are for them to be taken as vitamin supplements. It is not just hair vitamins that are necessary for healthy hair though as there are a number of minerals that are essential, including magnesium, silica, and zinc.

The most essential hair vitamin is vitamin A but the best form of this is to include in the diet is beta-carotene. This is because the hair vitamin A can be toxic if consumed in large quantities but beta-carotene has no such problems and is converted by the body into vitamin A that can be used to promote healthy hair. Of course, vitamin A is not just a hair vitamin, it is also needed for a number of other functions including normal growth of bones, skin, nails and the protective sheath surrounding nerve fibres.

Protein is another essential hair vitamin. This is because hair itself is essentially protein. The amount of this hair vitamin that a person consumes in their diet can affect the hair directly. If a lot of protein is included in a person’s diet then this hair vitamin will lead to improved hair growth and a far fuller head of hair. However, a person who has a diet that is lacking in this hair vitamin will suffer from thinning hair and slow hair growth.

Of course, it is not just hair vitamins and minerals that are needed to ensure that a person has healthy, strong hair. There are a number of researchers who have found that there are direct links between the overall health of a person and the condition of their hair. If a person is under a lot of stress or suffers from a lack of sleep then their hair is also likely to suffer and it is likely that their diet will not provide enough hair vitamins to counter these effects. Hair vitamin and mineral supplements can be the solution to weak and damaged hair.

Be certain to check with your health care professional before beginning a supplement regimen.

One Star Health Healthier Weight Loss Plan

Healthier Weight Loss Plan

Since excess weight puts you at risk for many health problems, you may need to set some weight loss plans to help avoid those risks and prevent disease.

But what should be your long-term goal? And what short-term goals should you set to help you get there? You have a better chance of attaining your goals if you make sure that the weight loss plans that you will use are sensible and reasonable right at the beginning.

Here are some guidelines from the experts in choosing weight loss plans and goals.

Be realistic

Most people’s long-term weight loss plans are more ambitious than they have to be.

For example, if you weigh 170 pounds and your long-term plan is to weigh 120, even if you have not weighed 120 since you were 16 and now you are 45, that is not a realistic weight loss goal.

Your body mass index is a good indicator of whether or not you need to shed of pounds. The ideal range, according to the national Institutes of Health, is between 19 and 24. If your is between 25 and 29, you are considered overweight. Any number above 30 is in the obesity range.

From this point of view, you will need a sensible weight loss plan that will correspond based on your height.

Set appropriate objectives

Using a weight loss plan just for vanity’s sake is psychologically less helpful than losing weight to improve health.

You have made a big step forward if you decide to undergo a weight loss plan that includes exercise and eating right so that you will feel better and have more energy to do something positive in your life.

Focus on doing, not losing

Rather than saying that you are going to lose a pound this week, say how much you are going to exercise this week. This would definitely make up of a sensible weight loss plan.

Keep in mind that your weight within a span of a week is not completely in your control, but your behavior is.


Keep up the self-encouragement

An all-or-nothing attitude only sets you up to fail. Learn to evaluate your efforts fairly and objectively. If you fall short of some goals, just look ahead to next week. You do not need to have a perfect record.

After all, self-encouragement should definitely be a part of your weight loss plans. Otherwise, you will just fail in the end.

Use measurable measures

Saying that you are going to be more positive this week or that you are going to really get serious this week is not a goal that you can measure and should not be a part of your weight loss plan.

This is another reason why you should incorporate exercise on your weight loss plan and focus on it. You should be able to count up the minutes of exercise in order to be successful in your plan.

The bottom line is, people should make weight loss plans that will only remain as it is, just a plan. They have to put it into action by incorporating goals that will motivate them to succeed.

To Successful Weight Loss!
Please consult your health care professional before beginning any weight loss programs

One Star Health Herbal Skin Systems

Herbal Skin Systems

Skin care is not a new topic and has been in talked about since ancient times. Herbal skin care was probably the only way to take care of skin. Herbal routines have been replaced by synthetic and chemical based routines. The herbal skin system recipes which once used to be common place are not so popular today. This transformation from natural skin treatments to synthetic, can probably be attributed to two things, the fast pace of lives and the big money in cosmetic systems. Even herbal skin system products have been commercialized . These types of herbal skin care products have to be mixed with preservatives in order to increase their shelf-life. However, it seems that things are changing fast and more people are now opting for natural and herbal skin care routines.

Aloe Vera, an extract from Aloe plant, is one of the best examples of an herbal skin system product. Freshly extracted Aloe Vera is a natural hydrant that helps in soothing skin. It also helps in healing cuts and treating sun burns.

A number of herbs are known to possess cleansing properties. Dandelion, chamomile, lime flowers, and rosemary herbs are a few examples of such cleansers. Their herbal skin care properties get pronounced when they are combined with other herbs like tea.

Antiseptics are another important part of Herbal skin care. Lavender, marigold, thyme, and fennel are good examples of herbs that are known to possess antiseptic properties. Lavender water and rose water also create a good toner.

Tea plays an important part in herbal skin care. Tea extracts are used for treatment of skin that has been damaged by UV rays.

Oils prepared from herbal extracts present another means of herbal skin care. Tea tree oil, Lavender oil and primrose oil are some popular oils used in herbal skin care. Some fruit oils like banana, apple and melon find use in shower gels.

Herbal skin systems are good not only for the routine nourishing of skin but also for treatment of skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis. Most herbal skin care products don’t have any side effects. Most products can be easily made at home. Herbal skin systems are the way to go. However, this does not mean that you totally discard the synthetic products. Some people go to the extent of debating with their dermatologist, if they suggest a synthetic product. You should accept the suggestion from your physician.

Tips 4 Losing Weight Safely

Tips 4 Losing Weight Safely

People who want to lose weight commonly, and first of all, think about reducing the amount of food they eat. This may be quite a solution but not exactly the best there is. In fact, depending on the amount you reduce in your food intake, it may even be dangerous to one's health. So how does one lose weight effectively and safely? Here are some points one should consider when trying to lose weight:

Crash Diets

Most people think that trimming down the calories can alone shed off their unwanted excess. Probably this is because of the fad there is in advertising about low-calorie food products and beverages. What people don't know is that this could be dangerous because when they decrease their calorie intake way to below the required levels, the body begins to digest the fats. Sounds good but it doesn't actually work healthy.

Low-calorie diet is also compensated for by the body by burning muscle. People on this type of diet who revert back to their old eating habits end up gaining back some, if not all the weight they have shed off. This would consist mainly of fats. And since fats have more volume per mass than muscle, they end up having the same weight as before but more bulkier. In losing weight, one should keep in mind that they should lose excess body fats only.

However, one can try out eating small meals at more frequent intervals. This way the body will not think that it is being starved and will not store food as fat.

Frequent re hydration is also necessary.

Build Up lean Muscle Mass

Muscles burn calories when they work; they even do so at rest. Unlike fats which just lie around, bulge around the pants and dangle beneath the sleeves, muscles burn calories all-day round. With this fact, one can start weight loss by increasing muscle mass. The more muscles, the less fat will be left. This is attainable starting with working out with resistance exercises.

Aerobics

Aerobics are not only good for the heart by increasing cardio-vascular endurance. Aerobics also help in increasing lean muscle mass while simultaneously decreasing excess body fat. Aside from these, aerobics make the metebolic process more efficient and its rate high, even after a long while. Imagine burning fat efficiently while driving along the freeway or even while watching television.

Taking Supplements is a great idea, be sure to check with your health care provider before beginning any weight loss or vitamin program.

Some people believe that smoking and caffeine can actually help in losing weight. This can perhaps be true; however, they do the body more harm than good because of their side-effects. One can try out taking food supplements. 95% of these products out in the market actually does good.

Losing weight does not have to mean sacrifice and suffering. It actually means opening up to a more full and healthy life where one may not have to feel bad about himself having to look the way he does or not being able to do what he wants to do. Losing weight might entail a little adjustments plus the discomforts, but as the old saying goes, "no pain, no gain." Besides fat, what has one got to lose anyway?

ONE STAR HEALTH VITAMIN E

Vitamin E

The vitamin E is important for a variety of functions in the body. A healthy heart needs plenty as it has been shown to actually prevent heart disease. Vitamin E can also help existing heart disease by stopping it from getting worse.
Vitamin E is also vital in protecting the cell membranes from the harmful free radicals that are present in the body. Without it, the cell membranes would be damaged. Vitamin E is so effective against free radicals is its fat soluble so it can be absorbed into the cell membranes. Vitamin E is essential for the immune system.

The recommended daily amount of the Vitamin E needed depends on a persons body weight. The more fat a diet contains, the more of the Vitamin E is needed. However, the only foods that really contain any reasonable amount of the Vitamin E are vegetable oils, seeds, wheat germ, and nuts. Most people should take some form of vitamin E supplement.

A deficiency of the vitamin E does not affect a person immediately. In fact, it can take months for the effects to be detected. After years of Vitamin E deficiency, some detectable damage to the nerves of the spinal cord or retina but this is very rare. Most people obtain enough vitamin E from a normal diet but it is essential that the food that a person eats contains a little fat to help with the absorption. Always check with your doctor before beginning a supplement regimen.

Physical Fitness Why It's Important

Physical Fitness Why It's Important

A Very simple and one of the most efficient ways to bring down the blood glucose levels and improve overall health is through physical fitness and exercise. But we have an increase of a sedentary world and almost every task can be performed online, while driving in a car, or on the phone. Exercising can be tough case to sell.

Everyone should exercise, but surveys show that only 30% of the United States adult population gets the recommended thirty minutes of daily physical activity and 25% are not active at all.

Inactivity is thought to be one of the key reasons for the surge of type 2 diabetes in America, because inactivity and obesity promote insulin resistance and other factors that trigger other kinds of diseases.

The good news is that it is never too late to get moving, and exercise is one of the easiest ways to start controlling the onset of any kinds of diseases. For people who are already candidates for some serious diseases like diabetes and heart failure, exercise and physical fitness can improve the condition of some parts of the body like insulin sensitivity, lower the risk of heart disease, and promote weight loss.

The first order of business with any exercise plan is to consult with your health care provider.

If you have conditions that make exercise and physical fitness a challenge, your provider may refer you to an exercise physiologist who can design a fitness program for your specific needs.

If you are already active in sports or work out regularly, it will still benefit you to discuss your regular routine with your doctor.

In the end, you will realize that the many things that good food can bring you are the same as what physical fitness can do for you.

Beauty and Fitness

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.

Just like taking any medicine, one should first consult the doctor before undergoing any form of exercise.

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 to make a person with an active lifestyle live 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 it 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 to the person.

Focusing on certain portion in the body can help make it improve. A good example is going to the gym and doing a workout more often in a specific area such as the abs can give one a chest pack.

But beauty is not only about having muscles which is what people can see. It is also about enhancing the beauty within.

Here 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.

· Work no matter what kind it is produces stress. One can reduce this by taking the time out to do something special like lying in a hot tub, shopping or watching a movie. Studies have shown it is reliever and helps one from looking haggardly.

· Pollution is something people cannot control given the size of the problem. When one goes out, it is best to put some form of protection such as beauty products that contain antioxidants that protect the skin from damage. There are also other beauty products available and choosing the right one with the help of a dermatologist can help the person.

· Another way to stay healthy is to give up some vices. Most people smoke and drink. Smoking has been proven to cause lung cancer and other diseases as well complications for women giving birth. Excessive drinking has also shown to do the same.

· For people who don’t smoke, it is best to stay away from people who do since studies have shown that nonsmokers are also at risk of developing cancer due to secondary smoke inhalation.

· Lastly, it is best to always start the day with a positive outlook. Just as studies have shown that exercise makes a person feel happier, smiling produces the same effect. A smile can do a lot and it is contagious in a positive sense. It brightens the day of not only one but others as well.

A smile...Good for your health.

Speedy Weight Loss???

Speedy Weight Loss???


The rise in the number of fast foods joints that have a lot of saturated fat in the meals, the use of a lot of refined sugar in sodas and other processed foods and eating food with less fiber have all contributed to the fact that there are more people than before who are classified as either overweight or are obese.

A lot of other factors cause this to happen such as genetics, overeating and as people age; the metabolism slows down making it harder than before to burn the food that was just consumed.

The rate that a person loses weight is the same to how it is gained. Rapid weight is not good since it leaves the person with lose skin and the only way to get rid of that would require surgery.

Weight loss depends on the condition of the person which includes weight, health, calorie-intake, age, gender, lifestyle, stress level and routine.

Being overweight does not necessarily make a person unhealthy. It just makes the person a bit unfashionable. Studies have shown that people who are a bit overweight live longer than those who have normal weight.

There is no quick or overnight solution for quick weight loss.

Nutritionists and other health experts will say that a person’s weight with proper exercise can actually help lose a certain number of pounds per week The best way to do this is with a low calorie diet and an exercise plan.

The first thing a person needs to do is to choose a diet program designed by a dietitian or another health professional. The patient has to be evaluated before any program can be made. The program usually consists of an eating plan and an exercise program that does not require the use of supplements or one to purchase any expensive fitness equipment.

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 lose weight.

A good diet should have food from all the food groups.

This is made up by 2 things. The first is carbohydrates. The food that a person consumes should have vitamins, minerals and fiber. A lot of this can come from oats, rice, potatoes and cereals. The best still come from vegetables and fruits since these have phytochemicals, enzymes and micronutrients that are essential for a healthy diet.

The second is fat which can come from mono and poly saturated food sources rather than animal fats. Since fat contains more than double the number of calories in food, this should be taken in small quantities to lose weight.

All diet plans are designed to make the person induce reduced amount of calories into the body. This does not mean that the person has to eat less. It just means that one has to eat smart by choosing the foods that have less calories. This makes it possible for someone to lose weight without the need to eat less.

During the course of the program, the person should still consult with the doctor and other health experts to monitor ones progress. There will be times that it is essential to modify the diet plan to further lose weight.

It is up to the person already to stick to the program to see that it works.

One other available option to shed off those unwanted pounds is to go herbal.

Herbal weight loss products have been in great demand for people who want to lose weight the natural way. However, when you take herbal supplements to lose weight, you would have to wait for a longer time for the results because of the more subtle effects of medicines which came from plants and natural herbs.

1. Herbal products

There are a lot of herbal weight loss products available in the market now. You can check out the Internet and you will find a lot of herbal weight loss pills and products.

Be careful, however, as there are some products which claim to be safe and natural because they are herbal, but some actually have side effects because of a lack of research on the effects of these products.

Here are some ingredients and chemicals which make up some herbal weight loss products that you should watch out for, as they might have harmful effects to your health:

Senna. This is an herbal laxative. Senna is a main ingredient in weight loss teas, and it works by stimulation the colon. The downside effect of this herb is dehydration. It can also lead to colon problems and can become addictive. Some people, when addicted, are unable to perform bowel movements without it, so watch out.

Chromium. This is a synthetic compound found in herbal weight loss products. Chromium is a nutrient which helps regulate blood sugar level. However, this ingredient, when taken in high doses, may cause damage in the chromosomes. It can also lead to dehydration.

St. John's wort. This supplement increases the production of a chemical in the brain. If not used properly, it may cause eye and skin sensitivity, mild gastrointestinal distress, fatigue and itching.

A lot of herbal products claim to be safe and natural, it is better to inspect the ingredients and research about the effects of the product itself before going for these herbal dietary pills.

2. Organic food.

Organic food has found its way to more homes and restaurants, some believe that consuming organic can help their bodies as well as the environment.

A person who buys organically raised eggs and vegetables claim to be healthier, and they are not spending money on doctors and prescriptions as these keep them healthier and away from the hospital. This could also be an option for weight watchers, as organic food is known to be kinder to your weight than chemically-processed food products.

3. Green Tea.

Studies show that intake of green tea, or green tea extracts burns extra calories. Also, green tea with caffeine can increase fat burning by up to 40% thereby reducing fat.

This is one good option for those who want to lose weight. In a study done, people who took green tea were found to lose 2 to 3 times more weight than those who did not drink green tea.

These results show that green tea is a natural product for the treatment of obesity. Thus, it also makes for a healthier dietary option, not to mention the good effects that it has on the body as compared to caffeine. A cup of tea gives an immediate energy lift without the side effects of caffeine.

3. Caffeine.

Coffee provides an energy boost to increase fat burning. Caffeine also provides a likelihood to be active, which in turn increases your rate of calorie burn.

4. Apple Cider Vinegar

There are pills and food supplements whose main ingredient is apple cider vinegar. Here are the benefits of taking this herbal option:

weight loss
improved cholesterol level
improved high blood pressure
helps prevent rheumatoid arthritis

MULTI VITAMINS AND BENEFITS

Multi Vitamins and Benefits

Most people do not eat a sufficiently balanced diet to provide them with all of the vitamins that they require and this has led to a boom in the multi vitamin supplement industry. Also the nutrients in our food today is different as the soil has been depleted of these nutrients. Multi vitamin supplements are available in a number of different forms, including tablets, gel capsules and even liquids. Of course the most obvious benefit to taking multi vitamin supplements is convenience. It is far easier for a person to take one dose of a multi vitamin supplement that contains all of the necessary vitamins compared to taking each one individually. This is especially the case for children as it can be difficult for them to take a large number of vitamin supplements but one dose of a multi vitamin supplement is far easier. Of course, a liquid multi vitamin supplement is the most suitable form for children but it is also beneficiate anyone who has difficulty taking supplements in traditional tablet form.

The increase in the availability of multi vitamin supplements has led to a great variety in the brands and also the actual content of the multi vitamin supplements. The names of some of the nutrients in these multi vitamin supplements can be a little bewildering and many people simply do not know which ones they require. To make the decision simpler there are now a number of multi vitamin supplements created for specific people. For example, there are multi vitamin supplements that are designed for children. These multi vitamin supplements contain the specific nutrients that children need for them to grow and develop properly. Pregnant women have unique nutrient requirements to ensure that their baby receives the necessary nutrients and there are multi vitamin supplements prepared for pregnant women. As we get older we also have different nutrient requirements and multi vitamin supplements for the elderly are a popular product.

Checking the Vitamin Content and percentages of each type will be a drastic help for you. It is important to consider the contents of any multi vitamin supplement before consuming too many.
