free-of-cellulite-skin

We need to feel good and look gorgeous everyday in today’s world. Everybody takes pictures, tons of pictures.  We need to be ready to pose and look confident. To look confident we have to be confident.  Anytime is good to start, it’s never too late to begin taking care of ourselves.
Many women have a hard time showing their bodies with confidence because of very common problem, cellulite.

CELLULITE VS HEALTHY SKIN

What is cellulite?

The term cellulite refers to the dimpled appearance of the skin that some people have on their hips, thighs, and buttocks. This appearance is much more common in women than in men because of differences in the way fat, muscle, and connective tissue are distributed in men and women’s skin.

What causes it?

It is believed that it is caused by a poor diet, excessive ingestion of fat or carbohydrates through meals, refined sugar and flour.  The consumed fat is absorbed from the intestine and transported through the blood, either directly or via liver, to fat cells.  In addition, a lack of exercise and not drinking enough water contribute to the problem.

SUGGESTED TREATMENT:

detox first

Detox your body and lose weight


The first suggestion is to lose excess weight and keep it off.  To do that, complete detox is necessary (recommended 2 times a year).  Forever Living Products offers an amazing product. The first step to a clean body is to cleanse and support the digestive system. Clean 9 provides us with the necessary tools to cleanse our body.
In the Clean 9 pack, we will find:
- 3 bottles of Aloe Vera Gel
- 1 can of Forever Lite Ultra® with Aminotein – Vanilla or Chocolate
- 1 bottle of Forever Garcinia Plus®
- 1 bottle of Forever Bee Pollen®

sugar fat salt

To keep the weight off we need to

Avoid fats, especially fat with sugar (chocolate: 60% sugar, 30% fat) and fat with salt (potato chips with salt).  The combination of fat and sugar promotes the storage of fat in our bodies.  When we eat, the glucose level in our blood rises, alerting our pancreas to release insulin to reduce blood sugar level.  This increased insulin increases our storage of fat what contributes to cellulite.

cellulite diet

To prevent cellulite include these foods in your diet

- beet root
- celery
- cucumber
- seaweed
- aloe juice
- take vitamin C – Vitamin C helps to activate remodeling of collagen
- take vitamin E – vitamin E inhibits undesirable thickening of fat

massage

To eliminate cellulite we need a routine massage and skin care

- A use of a natural fiber sponge and a small amount of aloe soap will improve dramatically appearance of the affected skin.  Best way to do this is to rub the the area with cellulite in a circular motion 3-5 times a week (from bottom up).
- Also drinking the natural fiber drink, substituting it for one of the three meals.
- And exercising daily, at least 30 minutes; aerobics are recommended.

aloe body toning kit

Forever Living Products recommends also using Aloe Body Toning Kit

an at-home body wrap designed to help trim, tone and tighten, minimizing the appearance of cellulite. European herbal complexes and natural warming agents are the “secret weapons” in the war against the unsightly appearance of cellulite.
The Aloe Body Toning Kit includes:
- Aloe Body Toner
- Aloe Body Conditioning Creme
- Aloe Bath Gelée – aloe based soap
- Loofah (natural sponge) and plastic wrap
A combination of a routine exercise, a healthy diet and a skin care will help us to regain a healthy weight and a gorgeous looking skin that we will not be ashamed to show off.

MAKE THIS MOTHER’S DAY A DAY SHE WILL REMEMBER FOREVER

“Every 90 seconds, somewhere in the world, a woman dies from a pregnancy-related complication. This isn’t just a “third world” problem. The United States currently ranks 50th in the world for maternal health. It is safer to give birth in Bosnia or Kuwait than in California. But what we do here ultimately affects women everywhere. This is a matter of inequality and political will.”  (No Mother’s Day: Every 90 Seconds a Woman Dies Becoming a Mother)

Arthritis is a growing health problem and a common cause of disability in many industrialized countries, including the United States. It is estimated that nearly 80% of Americans above the age of 50 show some signs of joint destruction on x-rays, including cartilage erosion and bone disfigurement. One factor in the excessive “wear and tear” of joints is thought to be an age-related decline in the natural synthesis of glucosamine, which contributes to joint lubrication and cartilage formation. There are many medical conditions that affect our lives, but perhaps none more unbearable than arthritis.  It is a huge problem and many people all over the world suffer from some form of arthritis. There are many kinds of this illness which may cause joint pain, stiffness, a lack of mobility, and eventually deformity. Osteoarthritis is one “wear and tear” arthritis of middle and old age. It is by far one of the most common forms of arthritis, affecting up to one in six people in Europe and the United States. Its effect can have a profound impact on one’s quality of life. All of us are at risk, depending on our genetic predispositions, however there are also some main risk groups, such as heavy manual workers, sportsmen and women, the overweight or obese, and believe it or not, women who wear high heals often.

What happens is that over a period of time, the cartilage layer over the bony surfaces which works as a natural shock absorber gets worn away until, eventually, bone rubs against bone. At the same time, the lubricating fluid in the joint becomes thinner and more watery, and the surrounding tissue swells and thickens as a result of inflammation which is being set-up. Finally, little spikes of bone grow into the joint cavity, greatly reducing its function and, of course, its mobility.

Treatments for arthritis in conventional medicine offer both physical remedies, such as physiotherapy and osteopathy, chiropractic and drug therapy. The drugs that are used are simply pain killers or anti-inflammatory drugs. These can be taken either orally or used topically as a cream. They are both reasonably successful if taken regularly, but they can also produce unwanted side effects. These side effects may include allergic reactions to some of the drugs, but the anti-inflammatories can produce anything ranging from indigestion and stomach aches to gastric ulcers, which have a tendency to bleed and occasionally become fatal. On top of this, I haven’t even mentioned an unexpected interaction with other drugs that the patient may be taking. There are so many people who die every year from these side effects. There are indeed quite few alternative treatments, including physical remedies and herbs, aloe vera, ginger, and another natural substances that have been proven to exert pain killing and anti-inflammatory effects. The trouble is that you have to take many different ones together to get the desired effect. Ideally, the best complementary remedy would be a combination of the most powerful herbs and supplements. One just needs to assemble them into one truly effective mixture that will deliver dramatic results. If one could create such a product you can just imagine the number of people that could be helped to live more active and pain free lives!
