Hot Tub in Spain - Profile

Hot Tub in Spain - Profile
When choosing a Hot Tub I wonder why it is that the very
latest American and European Hot Tub and Jacuzzi style Spa
manufacturers make lots of different models in all sizes,
designs and specifications. I suppose it is because we are
all different and they cannot just simply make just one
model that would suit everyone.

Apart from people, being of different sizes and heights
their individual lifestyles will also vary considerably.
Before you go to the Hot Tub retailer, you should take a
few moments to think about why you want to buy a Hot Tub
spa and what it is that you want get from it.

Consider these questions carefully and then write down your
answers so that you have a profile to take with you to the
Hot Tub retailer.

1. Will you use your spa for hydrotherapy and hydro massage
to help with aches and pains or is it for enjoyment and
spending quality time with your Family or do you want it
for relaxation or perhaps it is a combination of all of
these,?

2. In average, when the Tub is in use, how many people will
use it?

3. Will you have guests come round to use the spa and if
you do, what then is the maximum number you will have in
your spa at one time?

4. How tall are the people who will use the Hot Tub and are
there big differences in height between the tallest and
shortest?

5. Will it be in use every day or just once or twice a week?

6. What time during the day or evening do you think you
will actually use the spa?

7. How much can you budget on purchasing the spa and having
it installed?

8. What is the running cost on a weekly basis and how does
this compare with your budget for when it has been
installed?

9. How much time are you prepared to commit to looking
after the Spa and keeping it maintained correctly?

10. How much space do you have available for the Spa?

11. Is there good clear access to get a spa to your chosen
area?

12. Is there free access to all sides of the spa at your
intended location or will some sides be inaccessible, (next
to a wall etc.)?

13 Is a crane required to install the Hot Tub?

14. Is the proposed location able to bear the required
weight of the Hot Tub when filled with water and people?

Now you have taken the time to answer these questions you
are well on your way to having created a Hot Tub Profile,
which will assist you and your dealer in making the correct
choice for your specific needs.

Like all things, it is very sound advice to buy from a long
established Manufacturer and not a cheap eastern import.

Climbing the Corporate Ladder of Brain Fitness

Climbing the Corporate Ladder of Brain Fitness
Does your job have anything to do with your odds of getting
Alzheimer's disease down the road? Studies have come out
recently linking intellectually challenging careers to
reduced risk of dementia. Other studies link education
level to cognitive health in later years. Overall, people
with more education have lower rates of Alzheimer's disease
than those with less education.

This really isn't that surprising if you think about it. We
know that the more you use your brain, the stronger it
gets. Just like muscles in your arms and legs, the brain
gets more fit when you work it out. Higher education
usually means more mentally stimulating jobs and that keeps
your brain fit.

But that doesn't mean that you have to go to graduate
school to stay mentally active. Big studies look at large
groups of people. On average, when you look at lots of
people those with higher levels of education have more
intellectually challenging jobs. So overall, they have
lower rates of dementia. However, you can be a high-school
drop out and still do what's necessary to keep your brain
fit. Just don't be average.

You can maintain an active mind by committing yourself to
life-long learning. It doesn't take a formal education to
teach yourself new skills, read new books and continually
challenge your mind - it ain't rocket science.

There is, however, a flip-side to this coin. Even though
higher education predicts lower odds of getting Alzheimer's
disease, those with higher education who do get
Alzheimer's, decline much more rapidly and die sooner than
those with less education. Remember, again, this is based
on big number averages and is not necessarily predictive
for any one person. Still, on average if you have an
intellectually challenging career, your odds of getting
dementia are lower, but if you do get it, your odds of
rapid decline are greater.

At first, this might seem paradoxical. But I think there is
a likely explanation for these seemingly odd data. It all
relates back to the cognitive reserve theory, which we have
discussed in the past.

Essentially, cognitive reserve is something you create
throughout your life. The more you learn and the more you
experience, the more you create cognitive reserve. This is
like 'extra' brain circuits to accomplish intellectual
tasks.

Think of it like a city building multiple bridges across a
river. If you only have one bridge to cross the river and
it gets knocked out by a freak storm, you can't get traffic
to the other side. If, however, you've created reserve
routes to cross the river with multiple bridges and one
gets knocked out, you can divert traffic across the other
bridges.

This is the same with brain circuits. If you've created
multiple circuits through a variety of experiences you have
different ways to accomplish the same task. If one takes a
hit due to age-related damage, you can divert thoughts
through different circuits and not really notice a problem.

So people with higher education and more challenging jobs
may have reserve brain circuits. That means that even
though we may all experience the same age-related damage,
someone with more cognitive reserve will show less
cognitive decline. There are also ways to minimize the
age-related damage through healthy living, but that's
another topic.

So why would people with more reserve show more rapid
decline once dementia sets in? Again, this makes sense if
you think about it. People with high levels of reserve who
get dementia must have experienced severe damage that took
out all their bridges. Damage of this severity will take
them down quickly.

However, it's an illusion. Since studies only compare
people diagnosed with dementia, they may be comparing
apples to oranges. On average, the people with high reserve
(mentally challenging careers in these studies) who have
Alzheimer's disease have likely experienced a lot more
damage than, on average, the people with low reserve who
have Alzheimer's.

This would explain why people with more challenging careers
would have fewer cases of Alzheimer's; and also why people
with higher levels of education who do get Alzheimer's,
decline much more quickly.

Overall, it's better to boost your odds of not getting
dementia in the first place by doing what's necessary to
challenge your mind on a daily basis. Commit yourself to
life-long learning and stay mentally active to build more
bridges. Couple this with quality nutrition, plenty of
exercise and enough sleep, and you will also minimize the
storms that create the damage that can damage your bridges.

Exercise Early to Lose Weight

Exercise Early to Lose Weight
Everybody knows that in order to lose weight they must
start exercising. Although you can lose a certain amount of
weight through changing your diet, exercising will increase
your results greatly. Apart from losing weight, exercise
will give you countless other benefits including, all round
health, increase self esteem and confidence, make you feel
happier because you look better, increase your willpower
and give you a great achievement factor when you start
seeing results.

The best time to do any cardio exercise is first thing in
the morning before you eat anything. What happens is that
because you haven't eaten anything during the night, as you
have been asleep, your body has to use calories which are
stored in your body and burning calories is what you need
if you want to lose weight.

Another benefit of exercising in the morning is that it not
only wakes you up mentally but it wakes up your entire
body. Your blood is a delivery system; it carries nutrients
and oxygen to your muscles and organs. When your heart is
pumping blood at a normal rate, the delivery of oxygen and
nutrients takes time. When you force your heart to work
faster and harder through cardio, your blood will deliver
more oxygen and nutrients at a much faster rate, simply
because it's moving a lot faster. All this will give you
greater energy for the day and make you feel more alive
instead of sluggish and tired.

Your metabolism will also speed up if you exercise first
thing in the morning. Exercise burns calories, and your
metabolism has to burn them. Shortly after exercise you
will feel hungry and if you feed this hunger with a good
healthy breakfast, your metabolism will put all the
calories to good use and it will be boosted to burn more
calories throughout the day as long as you don't skip meals.

Another great advantage of exercising early is that it is
done. You do not want to spend the whole day dreading and
thinking about how you have to exercise when you get home
from work. The more you think about that the less you will
want to do it. You will make up excuses like "I can't be
bothered, I'm too tired, or I've got other things to do".
You will virtually talk yourself into not doing it and on
top of this a part of you will feel guilty about avoiding
it.

Exercising first thing in the morning gets rid of these
feelings. You have finished before the day starts. You will
be happier because you will know that the rest of the day
is free because you will have already done what you needed
to. There will be no guilt and no dreading exercise because
it will already be finished.

There are no distractions when you exercise in the morning.
There is nothing to watch on television. You don't have to
go out anywhere because everything is closed. There are no
people to converse with because they are asleep, and you
can't say that you have had a long day. This is your time,
your time to make a great difference to your health. While
everyone else is in bed you are getting a head start and
bettering yourself. It may be a little hard at first but
after a few weeks it will become a habit. Go to bed an hour
earlier and wake up an hour earlier. You're talking about
30 minutes of cardio, and those 30 minutes will come be the
most valuable investment that you may ever make.

Always make sure that you spend 5 or 10 minutes warming up
slowly as this gives your body a gentle nudge to wake
itself up. I promise you that after a short time of doing
this you will begin to feel great everyday. Look at
professional boxers, right from the early days of boxing up
until the present day, boxers have woken up in the early
hours to run. Boxers are some of the most physically fit
specimens of human beings that you can come across. If they
always do cardio in the mornings, surely that is enough to
tell you that it is good if you can exercise early to lose
weight.

HGH Reviews

HGH Reviews
Reviews are the best way to determine which Hgh products
and therapies are suitable with each individual's
needs.With sources like the internet, magazines and
television, one can easily get the many reviews available.
Most of the reviews are written by professionals which mean
they have tons of experiences and knowledge based on Hgh
while some other reviews are written by the users of the
Hgh products. Hgh reviews are very useful as they provide
the Hgh structure, synthesis and function, aging, Hgh
Supplements and Therapies, Hgh hormone, and how effective
are the many products and therapies available in the market.

Hgh or human growth hormone is produced in the pituitary
gland which is located at the brain. It is very important
for the growth of healthy cells in every parts of the body.
It also helps to increase the intake of amino acids,
synthesis protein, help to improve skin texture, burn fat
cells, help bones and muscles to grow, produces the IGF-1
and restore the high energy levels.

However, Hgh production will gradually decrease as we age
especially after the age of 20 years old. The declining
levels of Hgh will lead to aging signs such as wrinkles,
less energy, accumulation of fats and hair loss. Some of
the Hgh reviews actually suggest regular exercise and
intake of protein rich food to maintain a high level og Hgh
naturally. Other than that there is also some mention about
some herbal products that can help to increase the
production of Hgh.

Hgh can be obtained by injections or sprays but they are
only available as prescribed drugs. Hgh injections are by
far the most effective way to get Hgh but the cost is too
high to be used by everyone. Besides, Hgh injections might
produce antigenic reactions. Though sprays are much more
affordable but it is less effective as it takes a long time
for our body to absorb the essence of Hgh.

Hgh Supplements come in many other forms as well. Some of
them come in pills forms, powder forms and sprays. These
are much more cheaper than Hgh injections, easier to
produce and deliver better results than hormone treatments.
These supplements are available over-the-counter without
prescription. The ingredients contain amino acids which
will help to enhance the production of Hgh in the pituitary
gland thus it is safer as there is no need to injection.

It is advisable to consult a doctor before taking any of
the Hgh supplements even though there is no harming side
effects being reported. If you are having diseases or
health problems, it is better to get prescribed drugs
rather than getting the none prescribed drugs to avoid any
unnecessary accidents. Remember to always get the drugs
from a certified and approved pharmacies or manufacturers.
Even though Hgh products are targetted to the middle aged
people but young body builders also benefit from its usage.

Getting Healthy: Using Magnets for Health

Getting Healthy: Using Magnets for Health
Magnetic therapy has been used for the past several
centuries in alternative medicine as natural ways to align
ions within the human body. You may be a skeptic now, but
there are millions of Americans who have tried magnetic
therapy magnets and been successful!

How exactly are ions constructed within the human body, and
how do magnets relieve illness and pain? As you know by
now, the Earth has a magnetic field that constantly pulls
and pushes molecular ions that you cannot see. These ions
are so small that they even exist within your body. Magnet
therapy seeks to align and purify negative ions from within
the body. Without magnetic influence, these ions can build
up over time in the human body and cause friction in
tissues, which can lead to irritation, disease and pain.

Most Americans struggle with some sort of physical injury
or joint problem. Did you know that there's an all-natural
renewable product out there that can help heal your joints
and muscles? That's right, magnets!

Magnet therapy has been used to supplement treatment for
all sorts of illnesses ranging from diabetes to kidney
problems. Magnetic therapy has also been most useful in
treating arthritis, sprains, and post-operative joint care.
Over time, wearing a magnetic product will help align the
ions within your body and reduce pain, inflammation and
friction. For example, do you have problems with an
ankle, knee, shoulder or back injury? Believe it or not
there are wide variety of braces available with magnets for
use with specific body injuries and give prominent and
proven treatment to these areas. There are magnetic ankle
and shoulder braces available for those who've recently
sprained their ankle, dislocated their shoulder or are
recovering from surgery. Magnetic knee braces help reduce
inflammation and friction within your knee joint. Likewise,
if you have back problems, magnetic back supports help
straighten your spine and purify your spinal fluid.

With magnetic therapy you have an all-natural safe
supplement to your healing program to bring you back to
full health. The best part about magnets is that they are
completely renewable. Once you buy one magnet, it will last
forever. Also, magnets are completely free of any side
effects or negative health consequence. You can wear it
whenever you want, where you want. There are countless
health benefits to magnetic therapy. Don't you think that
it is time that you treated that old injury with magnetic
therapy today? After centuries of perfection, now is the
right time.

Help The Frizzies With Hair Styling Foam

Help The Frizzies With Hair Styling Foam
Oh wow - look at YOU! Did you just stick your finger in a
light socket girl? Frizzies or what? What? Me? Oh I use
hair styling foam and it keeps my fuzz nicely tamed down.
I couldn't stand it otherwise. Well, you know what my hair
is like without help. So what happened to you today? Oh,
got up late and didn't have the time to handle it. What?
You don't have any hair styling foam? Holy smokes girl,
well at lunch break, we're going to go track some down and
you can get rid of that - halo effect!

So why would you want to use something in your hair that
might leave it sticky or not help you style it? Hold on a
second here, if that is what you think then you have the
wrong idea about hair styling foam. These days it's
incredibly light, easy to use and won't leave behind a
sticky residue. Not only that, it also packs a powerful
punch when it comes to styling.

Why is using hair styling foam a good idea when combating
the frizzies? It's a good idea simply because it adds
badly needed moisture to your hair. But it also does more
than that. It has special ingredients in it that help your
hair retain what moisture it already has. That's a bonus!
And one other thing you will be interested in - it controls
static. And here you thought the only thing that gave you
static was your nylons while you were walking across a
carpet. Nope, this static is the kind that makes your hair
stick out like a Medusa's head. Hair styling foams with
static control mean you can use them in cold dry climates,
and indoors of course.

If you happen to love the sun and spend a lot of time
outside under its rays, check the label of the next can of
hair styling foam you buy. Make sure it has sunscreen in
it. Not all of them do, and this little added bonus will
make your hair pretty happy, plus reduce the amount of sun
damage to your tresses. Besides, being out in the sun sucks
moisture from your hair and that makes your frizzies even
worse.

If you happen to get a hair styling foam that comes in an
aerosol container, use only about a quarter sized dab from
the can. One quick push of the button should dispense all
you need. If you use too much, you will be wasting the
product, go through it more quickly and pay more in the
long run. So be wise with your hair styling foam and just
use what you need.

Orlistat Marketed as Alli is a Big, Fat Lie

Orlistat Marketed as Alli is a Big, Fat Lie
Every year more than 70 million people resolve to lose
weight by going on a diet, which feeds the big, fat $58
billion diet and weight-loss industry. After all the money
is wasted, the cold, harsh reality is that fewer than 5
percent of dieters will realize long-term results. The
other 95 percent will regain all the weight they lost, and
then some. How can an industry survive with such a low
success rate? How can it be legal to market and sell
something that has a proven track record for failure? Now
consumers have a brand new diet deception being marketed to
them backed with over $150 million in marketing to spin the
weight-loss lie.

Consumers desperately searching for solution to their
weight challenges now have easy access to the new
FDA-approved over-the-counter (OTC) weight-loss drug
Orlistat, marketed under the name Alli. Lest you think this
is a brand new drug that will deliver the much sought after
solution to the obesity epidemic, think again. This "new"
drug isn't new at all. Orlistat is simply a lower-dose
version of the prescription weight-loss drug Xenical, which
has had zero impact on moving the fat meter in our society.
Making Orlistat available to consumers over-the-counter
only means that tens of millions of people will now have
false hopes of sustained weight-loss while being exposed to
toxic, synthetic chemical compounds.

Prior to the Orlistat approval, manufacturer
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) was reeling from the negative reports
that their blockbuster diabetes drug Avandia
(rosliglitazone) was linked to death from heart attacks and
other cardiovascular events. Enter the Federal Drug
Administration (FDA) to the rescue with the much needed
approval of Orlistat that will surely pick up the slack
from the Avandia fallout. But at what cost?

In just one year between 1996 and 1997, over 18 million
people learned the hard way that weight-loss cannot be
safely achieved with a pill when it was revealed that the
weight-loss drug Fen Phen caused heart valve problems and
led to many deaths. The approval of Orlistat is yet another
example of how the FDA and Big Pharma fuel the quick-fix,
pill-popping mentality of consumers who hope to loose
weight without making the necessary lifestyle changes to
produce lasting results.

Not convinced? Orlistat is marketed under the name Alli,
supported by the Web site MyAlli.com. GSK entices visitors
to join the MyAlli community with language that confirms
the simple fact that weight-loss cannot be achieved with
Orlistat alone. The company stresses the importance of a
good balanced diet and regular exercise, which is the same
disclaimer you will find on any weight-loss product that
advertises unrealistic results.

The best Alli can muster is to offer users to lose 15
pounds versus 10 pounds that one might loose with diet and
exercise alone—with a few problems and side affects.
The drug is designed to block the absorption of 25 percent
of the fat in the food you eat by preventing the enzymes in
the intestines from digesting food properly. This also
interferes with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A,
D, E, K and beta carotene, so users are instructed to take
a daily multivitamin to make up for the lost nutrients.
Other disturbing side effects indicated by the manufacturer
include digestive and elimination issues including gas with
oily spotting, loose stools, stools that may be hard to
control and abdominal pain.

Even though this should be enough to prevent people from
using the drug, there are many more reasons. Any
weight-loss that you might experience by risking your
health with this drug is not sustained over time. The
information presented on MyAlli Web site states that most
weight-loss occurs in the first six months of use followed
by a decrease in the amount of weight loss. Additionally,
no longitudinal studies have been done on the drug to
determine its long-term effectiveness on weight loss or
implications for other health risks or mortality.

If that isn't enough to deter you, the greatest alarm about
Orlistat is its carcinogenic potential. Beginning with the
list of inactive ingredients there are two known
toxins—FD&C blue and the solvent Sodium Laruel
Sulfate (SLS). FD&C blue is a coal tar dye, which contains
heavy metals and is a possible endocrine disruptor. The
greatest risk of Orlistat is that studies of the
prescription version Xenical revealed that it clearly
causes pre-cancerous lesions of the colon (aberrant crypt
foci or ACF). On April 10, 2006 Public Citizen (the public
advocacy organization that helped inform the public about
the risks of Vioxx and Ephedra) petitioned the FDA, urging
them to remove Xenical from the market. Despite the known
hazards, the FDA not only kept Xenical on the market, it
approved the OTC version Orlistat. It is shocking that
despite the clinical evidence of the carcinogenic
properties of the drug that the FDA has not taken a stand
to protect consumers. Buyer beware.

Between the lack of evidence for the benefits of taking
Orlistat, coupled with the documented risks associated with
the drug, people looking for the solution to weight-loss
should avoid this product at all cost. GlaxoSmithKline will
need every penny of their $150 million marketing budget to
spin this big, fat lie. But the one thing that marketing
can't spin is your common sense.

Diet Fads And Hads. Are You Being Conned When It Comes To Beating The Bloating?

Diet Fads And Hads. Are You Being Conned When It Comes To Beating The Bloating?
It may come as a heart-sunken surprise to some that over
95% of diets don't work. Many meticulous and
well-researched studies have been done to show this.

For example, research at the University of California, Los
Angeles (which can be sourced from ScienceDaily.com) found
that initially, slimmers, when starting out, lose about 5%
to 10% of their weight, regardless of the type of diet
used. Then, however, some months after, they not only
regain the lost weight, but also end up heavier than they
were when the diet first began. -It could be said that the
irony in this may be summarised with a simple equation:
Diet = Weight Gain! Many of the so-called experts with
their fad-diets know this.

Many dieters find themselves in this recurring pattern or
circumstance: They give up and return to the same old
eating habits. Then, because their body's metabolism had
adjusted to the diet period, they put on even more weight
than before.

Another major factor that contributes to a failure to lose
weight through diet comes from the fact that dieters are
being conned by false and misleading information. This
includes calorie counting. 'The whole idea of calorie
counting should be taken and thrown out through the window.
Why? Because it's the quality of food you eat that counts
first and foremost.

We're all aware that supermarkets openly display and
well-tout their low-calorie foods, but less people are
aware that the benefits are far, far, far outweighed by the
disadvantages in eating these awful products: Low-calorie
food is factory processed and can have very little quality
nutrition value. The solution here is to eat less food, but
make sure it is quality. I always summarise good food in
that it should have the following main features or common
denominators. That the food is:

1.Natural (organic): Such as seeds, beans, nuts, fruits and
vegetables...

2. Is mainly free of chemicals, preservatives with
mysterious E-numbers, flavour enhancers, emulsifiers and
stabilisers...

3. Has had very little heat treatment. Poaching or steaming
is okay

4. Is fresh, since the vitamins & enzymes will not be too
denatured and be able to take more of an effective part in
the body's metabolic requirements.

-Slick advertising and marketing has had more than its fair
share in deceiving people into eating certain products.
Besides creating much misunderstanding, it has had a
significant hand in promoting illness as well as overweight.

An example of this can be found in the deception used to
successfully market cheap and nasty fats and oils. Some
researchers including myself will say that cheap fats and
nasty oils have over the last 70-odd years contributed
quite significantly to obesity and diabetes. Don't believe
me? Have a read of a revealing article by Sally Fallon and
Mary Enig entitled 'The Skinny On Fats' (it can be got from
a search engine).

I will say that what I'm about to put forward to you are
the most important recommendations you could ever get about
diet weight loss.

There are 4 factors responsible for weight loss, which can
be turned into recommendations. The first 2 recommendations
are obvious and well known, but the other 2 are not. I
wouldn't guarantee to anyone that they will lose weight if
they don't pay heeds to all 4.

The first 2, the obvious ones are

1. Eat healthier in tandem with

2. Appropriate exercise. The remaining recommendations are

3. Undergo hormonal therapy. Many people who have no
success with 1 and 2 have hormonal imbalances, which can be
put right by practitioners who are well versed in this form
of treatment. Finally, another very important factor is

4. To eat accordingly to your 'metabolic type'.

'We know that carbohydrates, proteins and fats are part of
an essential diet, but what many don't know is that each
one of us has a 'tailor-made' specific dietary requirement,
because our body's metabolism differs from one person to
the next. For example, because of the nature of one
person's metabolic processes, he/she being a 'protein type'
would need more protein than another individual who is a
'carbohydrate type'.

A individual's metabolic typing can be established through
a diet questionnaire. Eating accordingly to your 'metabolic
type' may not only produce successful weight loss, but also
prevent grogginess and mood swings.

A word about Antioxidants and their effects on Aging

Antioxidants play a huge role in the prevention of aging
and our overall health. Just a few years ago the average
person could not tell you what an antioxidant was let alone
what role it played in their health. Now antioxidants have
become the buzz word for health, fitness and anti-aging.
They are included in almost every product that we use and
we are told to eat a "Rich in Antioxidant" diet, but do you
really know what an antioxidant is and whats so great about
them?

In short, Antioxidants are found naturally in the food that
we eat. They can also be taken orally through a Vitamin and
supplement complex, or taken individually for certain
reasons to achieve different health effects and results for
different aliments.. Antioxidants are responsible for
helping our bodies fight off the "Free Radical" damage
caused to our bodies cells. The everyday use of antioxidant
supplementation and following a healthy diet rich in
antioxidant foods will drastically cut down on the
breakdown of healthy cells that fall prey to free radicals.
This may results in DNA damage to our skin caused by the
everyday elements and more importantly, preventing cancer,
heart disease and other debilitating diseases that are
associated with the natural aging process such as
Alzheimer's and Dementia

Very powerful Antioxidants:

Green Tea ( natural loose tea leaves or supplement)

Pomegranate (Juice or supplement)

Selenium ( Supplement, but best when included in your diet
through natural food source)

Vitamin C ( fresh squeezed juice is best or supplement)

Grapeseed Extract ( promotes a firm toned texture to the
skin)

Alpha-Lipoic Acid ( protects against free radical damage)

Acelyl-L- Carnitine ( supports brain function)

Spirulina ( natural powder form or supplement) Great when
mixed into smoothies or juice

Green Algae ( found naturally in seaweed products and in
supplement form)

Garlic ( natural, fresh garlic is most potent. Supplements
are available for those of you that are offended by the
pungent order of garlic)

*There are many other antioxidants that should be included
in your diet, these are just a short list of some very
powerful antioxidants that are known to fight heart
disease, promote fast weight loss, keep away the flu and
cold bug, naturally cleanse your colon and digestive tract
and protect healthy brain and cognitive memory function.

Anti-aging Skin Care Products

There are countless claims out there that miracles can
happen right out of a bottle! Well, not really, before you
pay a few hundred dollars for an ounce of serum or exotic
cream make sure you do your research. Some of the best
anti-aging skin care products should be derive from natural
ingredients and extracts. It may be wise to visit a
specialty store to purchase these products and speak with a
trained person who knows about the use of the product. Not
everyone is looking for the same results. Our age and type
of skin should be a determining factor to our product
purchase. If you do not have the time to spend looking into
Vitamins, antioxidants and skin care then perhaps a visit
on line to a unique health site would work.
Tophealthspot.com is great place to shop. You will love all
the name brand products along with full product advice and
reviews. Yes, there are some very excellent products out
there that do in turn produce some very good results,
almost amazing, but the most important thing to remember is
that Aging is a very complicated chemical and mental
process that goes on with our body and state of mind. So
the same should be said when dealing with our approach to
anti-aging. Our course of action is very important and
should include some key aspects to go about it the right
way. If you do not carefully incorporate all of these
important steps, then the most expensive creams and
treatments will never have the desired effect you are
looking for.

Secrets to Anti-aging

Start Young, your mid 20's is a good time to pay attention
to a proper diet and exercise, sun exposure and use of
Serious skin care products Hydrate yourself. Your skin is
your largest organ, it is like a sponge and is made up of
millions of cells that absorb water. When they are properly
hydrated they are full and plump giving a health dewy glow
to you face and body. Proper hydration is also essential to
organ function

Vitamin & Antioxidant supplements are very important to
maintaining your immune system and keeping strong and
healthy. It is nearly impossible to get all the nutrients
from food. We are not always able to eat right and get the
proper amount of vitamins and minerals your body needs, use
these as your safety net

Keep your sun exposure to the bare minimum. Always apply
proper sun protection daily. Do not spend long periods out
in the hot mid-day sun. Hat and UVB sunglasses are a must.
Remember that the cold and the winter sun can also play
havoc with your complexion. Wind burn is just as damaging
as a sun burn.

Sleep is essential to your ant-aging plan.. It is during
the sleep hours that our body truly rest and repairs
itself. When you are sleep deprived your complexion will
suffer and your mental state will not be as sharp. Loss of
sleep can also lead to weight gain.

Proper Diet, you are what you eat! Concentrate on eating a
well rounded diet. Try to cut out white sugars and
starches, all fatty and fried food as well as watching your
alcohol consumption. Keep your calories according to your
height, weight and activity level, we tend to gain weight
easily as we age due to a slower metabolism.

Exercise should be included in your daily routine. Take the
time to do some kind of aerobic activity for at least 30
minutes per day Walking, dancing, yoga, bicycle riding. Try
to do some form of weight or resistance training at least 3
times per week for 20 minutes. All very good
recommendations for staying young and fit through out our
years. Regular exercise is great for good muscle tone and
keeping flexible it's great for your blood pressure level
and your heart health.

Stress is a silent killer and it will age you faster than
all of the above mentioned. Stress must be managed and held
to the bare minimum. This is easier than you think. Here is
a very simple rule of thumb:

Change the things that you can and accept the things that
you cannot.

Mental health & attitude. Next to Stress this is the second
most important thing on the list. Your age is only a number
that means nothing. Think young, read, engage your mind.
Keep a positive outlook on everything that you do. Plan for
the future no matter how old you are... and remember our
dreams don't retire!

Enjoy your life, Live, Laugh, Love....these are the secrets
to anti-aging.
