How to Look 10 Years Younger in ten Minutes!
Want to look Fabulous after 40, but not sure how? Here are 5 simple fashion and beauty tips guaranteed to make you look 10 years younger in 10 minutes.
1. Break up a Matching Set
Still marrying your matching jackets to your matching pairs of pants? Then it’s time for a divorce. This super co-ordinated look is old, dated and makes you look unoriginal (unless of course you are in a traditional work position that requires a formal business look).
For a casual dressing, weekends especially, try breaking up these two key pieces and pairing them with other things in your closet. So instead of brown jeans with a brown jean jacket, try brown jeans fun sweater wrap with or a brown jean jacket with t-shirt, flowy skirt and boots. Matching pieces may be easy but they are not hip. Put them with other items in your wardrobe to help you look 10 years younger and you’ll project a more creative, playful you!
2. Layer Your Hair
Want to keep your hair long, but don’t to look like you are desperate to hang onto your youth? Then try this simple tricky. Layer your hair. Too many women over 40 with long hair wear it dead straight like they are still in high school. Follow the lead of celebs like Terri Hatcher, Cindy Crawford, Goldie Hawn, Jaclyn Smith and Renee Russo and add a little bounce with a good cut and a few layers to frame the face and create volume.
3. Pass on Pearl and Gold Buttons
We know a lot of you are attached to your favorite old cardigans with the pearl buttons and shiny gold buttons, but these look old fashioned and too conservative for a true Glam Gal. Instead opt for sweaters with modern plain flat buttons. And don’t forget you can always replace buttons too. A beautiful button on a plain sweater can make you look fabulous after 40.
4. Get rid of the Glitter
What is it about some women that makes them want to light themselves up like a Christmas tree- even during the daytime? We’re talking about those 40+ gals that go overboard with glitter and sparkles thinking shiny will make them look young. Maybe this really is a problem that comes with declining eyesight after 40??? Whatever the reason, we encourage you to look a little closer. Too much flash can really age a gal. If you want to sparkle, do it with your jewelry, and keep the glitz on your garments to a minimum.
5. Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate
So easy to do and so often overlooked, exfoliating your skin can make dull aging skin glow! Twice a week will keep your skin looking fresh and flawless. The latest home facial refinishers are an alternative to microdermabrasion. They make you feel like you’ve shed a mask and can help to make you look 10 years younger.

Body Fat Raises Cancer Risk
By: Dr Laurence Magne
New research findings show that extra body fat doesn't just weigh you down. Scientists now have evidence that too many fat cells prompt ongoing reactions in the body that may increase cancer risk.
A recent study in the Department of Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University found excess fat may alter the body's basic functioning in ways that raise risk for cancer and other diseases.
Research had already shown that obesity boosts levels of hormones such as estrogen, for example, which increase risk for breast cancer in post-menopausal women. Too much body fat, especially in the abdomen, also increases insulin resistance, priming the body for diabetes.
Now, recent findings suggest that fat deposits especially around the waist, may influence the body's inflammatory response so that risk for colon cancer is higher.
Inflammation is the body's first response to infection or injury. It's essential to healing, but it can go the other way. Researchers now suspect that chronic low-level inflammation of body tissues underlies a lot of disease processes. How does this happen?
There are substances called cytokines that are part of the body's inflammation response to help with fighting infection and healing wounds. Cytokines are made by white blood cells, but fat cells can make cytokines too.
These substances also help with wound repair by stimulating tissue growth. Research suggests that when the body has an oversupply of fat cells, those cells release too many cytokines. This boosts the body's inflammatory response and causes damage to cells and their DNA."
Where there is genetic damage plus stimulation for cells to grow, the chance of cells growing out of control and becoming cancer is increased. We all have cancer in our body at all times. The role of the immune system is to fight those cancer cells. However, when the immune system is working overtime dealing with the cleaning out of the fat in the system, it doesn’t have enough resources to fight the cancer cells.
A previous study showed that people who were obese, 30% over their normal body weight had a higher risk of colon cancer. People who were diabetic had increased risk.
Some cancers are known to be associated with persistent inflammation that's related to chronic infection. For example, people infected with one of the viruses that cause hepatitis are more susceptible to liver cancer. People with inflammatory bowel disease have above-average rates of colon cancer.
The idea that fat cells could be actively involved in promoting inflammation is a relatively new one. "There is more to being fat than carrying around excess weight. People should begin thinking of excess body fat as actively harmful to their health." When you study the human body, even as remotely as the way it is taught in schools, it stands to reason that excess fat is not a natural condition for the body. Excess fat will strain all the systems, being digestive, respiratory, the skeleton, etc.
The good news is that excess weight can be managed. Even walking every day as little as outside of the house and around the block, is a great starting point to healing, by sending a message of health to the brain and the body.

What Are The Health Benefits Of Saunas?
By: Amy Nutt
There are many individuals in the world that choose to use saunas regularly for the health benefits that saunas are supposed to provide. Studies have shown that the use of saunas is safe for the body. Saunas are typically a small room made out of wood and glass with a heater located inside that can be used to create a steam effect. Saunas are generally created without using varnish, adhesives, or any other items that might add fumes or an aroma to the steamy air inside of the sauna. Saunas are typically found in health clubs, spas, or resorts with very few being found in private homes. So what are the health benefits of saunas?
One of the health benefits of saunas revolves around the saunas use of radiant heat. It is believed that radiant heat has the ability to penetrate into the skin and help dissolve the fat deposits that are located just beneath the skin. It is also believed to help eliminate toxins that are present in the skin and the fat deposits beneath the skin. The detoxifying effects attributed to the sauna are one of the main reasons that many individuals choose to use the sauna. The heat of the sauna has also been demonstrated to improve blood circulation, allowing the toxins present in the blood to be removed from the system quickly and more effectively. The increased blood circulation allows improves the condition of many of the organs of the body, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, and skin.
Another health benefit of saunas that many individuals appreciate is their ability to relax the individual. Stress is seen as having a very negative effect on the health of an individual and any items that are seen as lessening an individual’s stress levels is presumed to improve the individual’s health. The relaxation allowed by the heat of the sauna is deep and can be just as relaxing as a massage or a session in a hot tub. In this state of relaxation, the tension in the muscles of the body disappears, eliminating muscle aches, headaches, and neck tension. Individuals that use a sauna regularly report increased energy levels and mental clarity when they have finished their session in the sauna.
Many individuals also believe that regular sessions in a sauna result in the reduction of cellulite in the body and can assist with weight loss. A 30 minute session in the sauna can help an individual burn between 300 and 600 calories while doing nothing more than sitting and relaxing. For the average person, usually 15 to 30 minutes per session and drink at to drink least two glasses of water after each sauna are recommended. Individuals with heart problems should check with their Physicians before going to a sauna session. Saunas has become very popular, people have them on their homes for a regular and continuous use. A combination of exercise, sauna sessions, and vitamin therapy is used by many health clubs and spas to facilitate weight loss in their clients.

By: Randall Christian
Have you had those dark circles under your eyes for so long, you can't remember when they first appeared? I bet nobody can say you haven’t been trying hard to find a cream that will remove them after they see the stack of anti-aging eye creams stacked in every corner of your house.
As you age, you are bound to see some wrinkles forming, and a hint of dark circles at some point. The good news is you can do something to reduce the speed of your aging process, thereby limiting their appearance on your face. However the only way you can do that is to use the best eye wrinkle cream with a reputation to remove dark circles under the eyes.
The best way to find the anti-aging eye cream that will work for you is to use the systematic approach. Decide what category of eye cream that will help your specific situation. There are many that focus on a particular area around the eyes or help to alleviate certain skin conditions. Are you searching for creams that remove dark circles, soften up those crows' feet, or diminish those eye bags?
After you have decided on what you need, the next step is to start exploring. You could ask all your girlfriends, check specialized websites, or even ask your dermatologist what they think is the best eye wrinkle cream.
Always read the ingredients list on the container. How the anti-aging eye creams are made is more important then the cost. When it comes to protecting your skin, cost should not be an issue. Do they have any antioxidants and vitamins? Can they break down free radicals that cause wrinkles? Retinol is well known to be effective in wrinkle reduction. Kinetin is another important ingredient because it aids in the production of collagen that keeps skin firm and moisturized.
A big plus in good anti-aging eye creams are ingredients called alpha hydroxil acids. They remove dead skin cells by exfoliating the skin. With continued use, you will see that your skin is smoother, younger and fresher looking.
Typically you can find Aloe Vera, chamomile, grape seed, green tea and cucumber listed as ingredients in anti-aging creams because they are so caring to the skin. Be sure to carefully study the labels of all the anti-aging and wrinkle creams. Don’t hesitate to ask an expert if you are confused.
Now don’t think just because you found the best eye wrinkle cream for your needs, you can forget about your diet. If you want your skin to keep that youthful appearance, it demands that you give it all the support you can. That means eating correctly, and taking a daily supplement of vitamins and minerals.
Making sure you get your proper balance of nutrients daily to support your skin, makes the job of anti-aging creams to rid your face of wrinkles and remove dark circles under the eyes, just that much easier.
Uncovering the correct anti-aging eye cream for you does not have to be a battle. Remember, systematically decide what you need and study the ingredients labels. Before you now it, you will be using the best anti-aging eye cream or best eye wrinkle cream for your condition.

Tips To Build Muscles Fast
By: Chris Chew
So you want to build muscles fast? So you can just simply join a gym, lift weights regularly and after a few short months, you should be able to build enough muscle mass to take part in your neighborhood bodybuilding contest?
If it is that simple, then why is it that most people in the gym do not seem to gain much muscle even after years of weight lifting?
Well, things are not as simple as it seem or otherwise, personal trainers and muscle building books will have already gone the way of the dinosaurs, extinction.
Here below are some basic building muscle mass tips and of course, these are just tips and are not comprehensive:-
1) Eat And Eat - To build muscles, you must eat and then eat again. You must consume more calories than you burn them. After all you are adding mass to your body and where do those mass come from if you have insufficient calories to build them?
However, try to choose good calories such as protein and complex carbohydrate. Calories from fats and alcohol do not count.
2) Up Protein Consumption - Proteins are muscle builders. You must make sure that you consume enough protein. You should consume about one gram of protein per pound of your body weight everyday if you want to build muscle mass fast. If you don't get enough protein, your muscles won't grow since you are not feeding them.
3) Health Supplements - Many people erroneously think that they do not need to take supplement to build muscles or supplements are not good for health. Hey, health supplements are food for your body and if chosen correctly, they can help you to build muscles faster.
For those of you who think that supplements are harmful chemicals, then why are they called health supplements instead of drugs?
For those of you who think that supplements are harmful chemicals, then why are they called health supplements instead of drugs?
For instance, some your protein sources come from eating meat. However, too much meat can cause complications such as most meats contain saturated fat which can clog your heart and arteries. So instead of eating too much meat, you can take protein supplements to get your protein.
Also take multivitamins for anti-oxidant protection and to aid faster recovery.
4) Lift Weights - This is a bit of a misnomer. If you want to gain muscle mass fast, you must not only lift weights, you must lift heavy weights and lift them through compound exercises.
Compound exercises like deadlift and squats work many muscle parts at the same time, that means you work almost your entire musculature instead of a single muscle group like say, dumbbell bicep curls.
However, the correct lifting technique and form of lifting is very important so as to prevent injuries and make your training more effective.
5) Lift Free Weights - Use free weights like dumbells and barbells to recruit more muscle stabilizing and therefore more muscle fibers can be worked on. The more muscles you work on, the bigger they will become.
6) Get Enough Sleep And Rest - Have rest days in between your workout days and do not work the same muscle group more than twice a week. This is because your muscles need to recover from your workout to grow. More is not better in this game.
You should also get more than 8 hours of sleep if possible. Contrary to popular belief, your muscle grow when you sleep, not in the gym.
If you practice the above routine consistently, you will strat building muscles fast. Of course there are many more things you will need to know to build muscle mass effectively, but the above tips should get you along the road.

1) Eat And Eat - To build muscles, you must eat and then eat again. You must consume more calories than you burn them. After all you are adding mass to your body and where do those mass come from if you have insufficient calories to build them?
However, try to choose good calories such as protein and complex carbohydrate. Calories from fats and alcohol do not count.
2) Up Protein Consumption - Proteins are muscle builders. You must make sure that you consume enough protein. You should consume about one gram of protein per pound of your body weight everyday if you want to build muscle mass fast. If you don't get enough protein, your muscles won't grow since you are not feeding them.
3) Health Supplements - Many people erroneously think that they do not need to take supplement to build muscles or supplements are not good for health. Hey, health supplements are food for your body and if chosen correctly, they can help you to build muscles faster.
For those of you who think that supplements are harmful chemicals, then why are they called health supplements instead of drugs?
For those of you who think that supplements are harmful chemicals, then why are they called health supplements instead of drugs?
For instance, some your protein sources come from eating meat. However, too much meat can cause complications such as most meats contain saturated fat which can clog your heart and arteries. So instead of eating too much meat, you can take protein supplements to get your protein.
Also take multivitamins for anti-oxidant protection and to aid faster recovery.
4) Lift Weights - This is a bit of a misnomer. If you want to gain muscle mass fast, you must not only lift weights, you must lift heavy weights and lift them through compound exercises.
Compound exercises like deadlift and squats work many muscle parts at the same time, that means you work almost your entire musculature instead of a single muscle group like say, dumbbell bicep curls.
However, the correct lifting technique and form of lifting is very important so as to prevent injuries and make your training more effective.
5) Lift Free Weights - Use free weights like dumbells and barbells to recruit more muscle stabilizing and therefore more muscle fibers can be worked on. The more muscles you work on, the bigger they will become.
6) Get Enough Sleep And Rest - Have rest days in between your workout days and do not work the same muscle group more than twice a week. This is because your muscles need to recover from your workout to grow. More is not better in this game.
You should also get more than 8 hours of sleep if possible. Contrary to popular belief, your muscle grow when you sleep, not in the gym.
If you practice the above routine consistently, you will strat building muscles fast. Of course there are many more things you will need to know to build muscle mass effectively, but the above tips should get you along the road.

Risk Pools - Health Plans For The Risky Or Uninsurable
By Wade Robins
If you have a pre-existing condition that carries high risks for your insurance company, you may have trouble finding an affordable health plan. In fact, companies are not forced to insure you. If you are too risky, they can reject your application.
More than half of all insured people get their insurance from their companies. Group insurance plans reduce risk by sharing the cost equally. But, what if you can't get into a group plan?
States offer a type of health plan called "risk pools." Risk pools are intended to provide insurance to the uninsurable.
What Is A Risk Pool?
First, let's look at how group insurance works. Even risky individuals can be covered under group health insurance at little cost to insurance companies because everyone shares expenses and risks. When the company has to shell out extra for claims made by a certain individual, the rate of the whole group goes up.
With individual health plans, there is no group. It's just you. So, private insurance companies look at your medical history and risks. This is what determines your rate.
A risk pool is like a group of all the people within a certain state who can't get private insurance because of pre-existing conditions and other health risks. It works in much the same way as group insurance does, except that the group in this case is not the company, but all the individuals in the state who can't get insured.
Because they are obviously risky, risk pools cost more than regular insurance. This is not a government support program like Medicare or Medicaid aimed at low-income earners. Risk pools are usually quite expensive.
Does My State Have A Risk Pool?
Not every state offers risk pools, but most do. There are risk pools in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Wyoming.
Each state's risk pool varies. You definitely have to be a resident of the state in which you apply. Other than that, the requirements are different in each state. In order to qualify, they may require that you prove that you've been rejected by an insurance provider because of a high health risk.
In most states, you can't get a risk pool health plan if you qualify for Medicare or Medicaid. Some states also have an enrollment cap, meaning that they will only accept a certain number of applicants to the program each year.
Risk pools are operated by non-profit healthcare organizations. Currently, almost 200,000 people are enrolled in risk pools, which is not a large number if you consider how many Americans are uninsured. Some states, like Tennessee, are starting to have special programs for kids and specific diseases like diabetes.
Risk pools are convenient for individuals who are having trouble getting insured. You can take out a short-term plan to cover a gap in your employment or insurance.
If you have a pre-existing condition that puts you at high risk, you may feel like you should stick with your group plan so that you can stay covered.
This might mean staying at a lousy job that you would just as soon ditch otherwise. Risk pools offer you more choices for your health insurance coverage.

11 Quick Weight Loss Tips
By: Brandon Walsh
Tip 1: Never Skip a Meal
Eating petite and more frequent meals helps to level your caloric intake during the day and keeps your blood sugar in a balanced state. Rather than eating 3 large meals, try to eat 5 - 6 smaller meals throughout the day.
Tip 2: Allow Yourself a Treat
Every person has his or her favorite treat(s). Simply give yourself a tiny indulgence sporadically, but be mindful of the frequency and the quantity. Eliminating all of your favorite treats usually leads to an early relapse.
Tip 3: Understand Your Labels
A product labeled with a fat-free claim does not necessarily mean that it is also low in calories. Similarly, a product labeled as low-carb does not mean it is also low in fat. Always carefully read the nutrition label on the packaging to ensure that you know exactly what you are receiving.
Tip 4: Determine Exactly How Many Calories You Need
[Daily Caloric Need] = [Body Weight in lbs.] x 15 + ([moderate activity in minutes a day] x 3.5)
Since you wish to lose weight, your target = [Daily Caloric Need] - 500 cal
For example, if you weigh 160 lbs and you achieve 20 minutes of moderate activity every day:
You Daily Caloric Need in this example would equal (160 x 15) + (20 x 3.5) = 2400 + 70 = 2470 cal.
Subtract 500 calories from that total; 2470 - 500 = 1970 cal.
Therefore 1970 cal is your daily caloric intake goal for losing 1 lb per week!
Tip 5: Eat Raw, Whole, Organic Foods
If possible, purchase only fresh foods and avoid all processed and convenient foods such as fast food. Packaged and processed foods are often much higher in sodium and fat content, and contain less nutritional value.
Tip 6: Eat at Least 5 Servings of Fruits and Veggies Every Day
Fruits and vegetables are full of beneficial vitamins, fibers, and antioxidants. They fill up your stomach fast, so you feel full earlier. And, they are also very low in calories.
Tip 7: Watch your Portion Sizes
One serving of pasta would generally equate to 1/2 cup of pasta. However, most every restaurant you visit will serve a pasta dish with about 4 servings of pasta!!! Take home the leftovers.
Tip 8: Stay Away from Worthless Drinks
Juices, soda, & sugar in your coffee all add up. Always drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. This will keep you full, hydrated, and feeling great.
Tip 9: Keep a Food Journal
This can be tough to do, but is worth its weight, literally. A food journal allows you to pinpoint your eating habits and enables you to easily modify them.
Tip 10: Exercise, Exercise, Exercise
Most authorities recommend 30 to 60 minutes of activity a day for optimum health. It is also beneficial to try and work-in some weight-bearing exercises at least 2 times a week.
Tip 11: Get That Sunshine!
God created us to get some sun every once in a while. The body needs the vitamin D produced from taking in that sunlight, and we need to be active in order to live a healthy life. And, the fresh air feels great!
Print out these 11 easy steps, follow them every day, and you will be feeling good and looking great in no time!

Water
By Chris
You’ve heard it from your personal trainer, you’ve heard it from your mother, and every summer during a heat wave, you probably heard it repeatedly from various media outlets: you need to drink more water. As much fun as it is to debunk myths, this particular maxim is all too true.
Your body is composed of over 70% water, and it constantly needs to refill its supply. “But,” you say to yourself, “I drink enough water to keep from getting too thirsty. Isn’t that enough?” Not necessarily. If you are serious about your fitness goals, you should be conscious of how much water you drink for a number of reasons.
For those looking to lose fat, proper water intake can actually help you metabolize fat better. If you are chronically dehydrated, you body will actually work to keep fat into to draw on its moisture. When there’s plenty of water to go around inside your body, your fats cells are more likely to be burned off, because your body doesn’t have any more use for them.
This might seem counter-intuitive, but not drinking enough water can actually lead to water retention. When you body senses that too water is coming in, it works to store and conserve every last millimeter that it can. When your body gets in this state drinking some water immediately saved as much as possible in your body. To break your system of this, you should down as much water as possible, causing your body to evacuate all excess water.
Dehydration is also a major culprit in causing your internal organs to not work at they peak level. The kidneys and liver in particular need a great deal of water to function properly. Burning off fat is one of the liver’s main jobs, and if the kidneys aren’t doing what they are supposed to do, the liver has to do some of their work for them. So when either of these organs are not properly performing, it makes is significantly more difficult to lose fat.
When you drink water, it’s important that you actually drink water, not just any fluid. Coffee is a diuretic, meaning it actually steals water from the body, and soft drinks should be avoided whenever possible.
The high sugar content of most soft drinks means your body has to work extra hard to process it, which might actually take water out of your body. In fact, you actually have to down a few glasses of water to replace the fluid lost from drinking a single can of soda. Soft drinks can even interfere with your digestive system, making digestion more difficult and less efficient.
So exactly how much water should you drink? Generally, men should consume about three liters a day and women should consumer 2.2 liters a day. On days you exercise, you should drink a couple of cups more than this. If you happen to live in a particularly hot part of the country (like Southern California) or are fighting a cold, you should up your intake even more.

6 Easy Tips To Beautiful, Healthy Hair
By: Cole Carson
Nothing looks more beautiful than a head of full, sleek, and shiny hair. All women want their hair to fall like liquid silk, and while the “results” seen in hair-care commercials may be a bit too perfect to be real, there are numerous things you can do to improve the health and beauty of the hair you have. Here we’ll talk about six things you can do to keep your hair looking and feeling its best.
1. Wet hair is far weaker than dry hair, so make sure that when you’re trying to detangle it, never use a hairbrush or treat it too roughly. Being overly rough with wet hair can lead to a lot of breakage, so use a good leave in conditioner and comb it out with a wide-tooth comb. This will help to drastically minimize damage done to your hair while it is wet.
2. Everyone knows that using a blow dryer on your hair is a great way to damage it. Unfortunately though, the ease and convenience it brings not only time-wise, but for styling makes it a necessity to have. To minimize the damage it does though, use the “cool” setting, and make sure not to dry your hair completely. Leave a little bit of moisture in your lovely locks.
3. Everyone knows that a head full of shiny hair is just gorgeous. Unfortunately, the simple build up of hair care products and normal, day-to-day living can dull your hair out and take away that glamour. To combat this, use an apple cider vinegar rinse on your hair about once a week. Simply mix roughly one or two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with about four cups of water, and then pour it over your hair. This is a great way pull away all that residue that’s been dulling your hair, letting your natural color and shine come out. It gets rid of grime, and is completely natural. It doesn’t smell that great when you put it on your hair in the shower, but after you’ve dried your hair, the smell will be gone and nothing but pure shine will remain.
4. Contrary to what a lot of products say, there is no way to seal or fix split ends. If you notice any split ends on your hair, go in and get them trimmed off. Keeping split ends can result in the split gradually moving up the hair shaft, making your hair look and feel very damaged. Even if you’re growing your hair out, it’s a good idea to go in and get your ends trimmed every so often to keep it looking its best.
5. Make sure to put a deep moisturizing treatment upon your hair once a week. You can find these at any drug store, but homemade ones are natural and fun. They’re almost always made with things you’d find around your kitchen, making them easy to put together as well. Do a quick search to find any number of recipes online, so you can find one that fits your hair type as well.
6. Another important concept that can make a big difference in the appearance eof your hair is that it’s just as important to take care of it from the inside. The healthier you are, the healthier and more naturally beautiful your hair will be, and there are a few vitamins that can be added to your diet to boost the health and appearance of your hair. Vitamin B6 can actually prevent hair loss, and it also produces melanin, which will help keep your hair color more naturally rich and vibrant. Vitamin A and Vitamin C have strong antioxidants that will go a long way to improve the overall health of your hair, and Vitamin E can help promote circulation of the blood through your scalp, giving your hair a more plentiful source of nutrients.
When it comes to beautiful hair, nothing is more important than making sure it is strong and healthy. No matter what your hair color or type is, if you limit the amount of damage you inflict upon it and promote natural health, you’ll see a drastic improvement in shine, color, and overall brilliance.

Sometimes, just trying to get and stay motivated to exercise on a regular basis can be a challenge. No matter how you look at it, exercise can be downright boring and even tedious at times.
So, you may be wondering just how you can get the motivation you need to exercise on a regular basis.If you've been wondering what you can do to make exercise more fun, you'll find some ideas below that just may help to make exercise more fun and a little bit easier.
First things first, you should exercise with a friend.You can challenge each other, help each other out,keep each other motivated and on track, make each other laugh or just make a game out of your exercise programs.
You can also try something different. If you go to the gym each and every day and use the same piece of equipment or use the same piece of equipment at home, you should try mixing things up. Reverse your routine or just change the order of your exercises.
Go to a city park that has playground equipment and use the slide, climb on the monkey bars, do pull-ups, hang from your knees, just let your imagination guide you. You don't always need to follow a strict routine, just get out there and have fun working your muscles.
An outdoor circuit in the park is also something you can try. There are some parks that have circuit courses set up with a planned course where all you have to do is walk or jog to each station and then follow the instructions. If there isn't a planned course, then you should do a combination of jogging and walking, picking a distance of a couple hundred feet. Jog 100 feet then drop and do a couple of pushups, walk the next 100 feet and then drop to do sit ups.
You can also ride a bike around your neighborhoodor hike on a hiking trail. A walk in the park or around your neighborhood is also a great way to get some exercise. Doing yoga in the park or on a beach is also a nice and relaxing way to exercise both your body and your mind.

There are some parks that have circuit courses set up with a planned course where all you have to do is walk or jog to each station and then follow the instructions. If there isn't a planned course, then you should do a combination of jogging and walking, picking a distance of a couple hundred feet. Jog 100 feet then drop and do a couple of pushups, walk the next 100 feet and then drop to do sit ups.
You can also ride a bike around your neighborhoodor hike on a hiking trail. A walk in the park or around your neighborhood is also a great way to get some exercise. Doing yoga in the park or on a beach is also a nice and relaxing way to exercise both your body and your mind.

How Vitamin A Makes Your Skin Look Younger
By: Ken Black
Almost everywhere you turn today, there is a message about how important vitamins are for your body.
Amongst all of the talk, vitamin A is just about on top of everyone's list for having the most benefits. One of the greatest advantages of vitamin A is that it has great skin care properties.
When you read the list of ingredients on most skin care products, you may feel like you need to learn a second language just be able to pronounce them, and these are the products that claim that your youth and beauty will be restored if you use it.
It is difficult to put your faith in something and not know what it contains or even if it is harmful to you. However, there is a method of skin revitalization. Vitamin A is an all-natural method that is easy to use and easy to pronounce. Here are some of it's benefits:
1. Regenerats your skin
2. Anti-aging properties
3. Reduces dark marks under the eyes
4. Grows new skin cells
5. Tightens up your skin
6. Restores moisture to your skin
7. Eliminates skin discoloration
8. Smooths out your skin
9. Prevents damage to your skin.
These are just some of the perks of using vitamin A. The best thing of all is that this vitamin can be found in almost any product that you find in the grocery store. It is inexpensive, and completely natural. It can also be found in liquid form in almost any pharmacy.
Vegetables have a lot of vitamins in them. However many people claim that you do not have to consume them to get wonderful skin. They claim that if you just cut vegetables such as carrots, broccoli and beets up and rub it on your skin, you will see tremendous results immediately. Of course, be sure that not too many people see you doing this, or they'll think you're crazy.
If you are looking for a new and less expensive way to help fight the battle of aging skin, this might be the method that you are looking for.
Plastic surgery can be painful and other methods of skin revitalization can be expensive. In the past, these methods have been recommended more often then natural methods. However studies that have been conducted concluded the overwhelming benefits to using natural products over man made.
You can also apply this vitamin directly to the skin (cream, lotion or even gel). Massaging vitamin A into your face and other areas can quickly improve your skin tone. This is an excellent way to repair the signs of aging in your face, and improve the firmness and hydration of your skin. You may even be able to reduce some wrinkles and fine lines.
Other methods are expensive, and it's hard to know if they'll work. Vitamin A used as suggested in conjunction with a healthy diet and good skin care, can improve your looks. You can experience great results from regular use of this natural skin enhancer and you don't need a prescription.
Once you try the all natural method and start using vitamin A, you will not want to use anything else.

A Serious Diet For Healthy Living?
By Ray Darken
Gathering information and learning as we travel through life is not only fun but it's essential just like learning about a good healthy diet. It happens all too often...we think we're on a good thing and then we hear that what we've been doing may be wrong or the diet we've been using has been declared dangerous or something else along those lines. You would be smart to think that the best diets would need to have some long term verification, research or proof of some kind that involves a little history - the longer the history, the better. We not only seek knowledge on an ongoing basis as a part of just being human but we're also seeking longevity and the best possible health we can aquire. Every now and then we slip up and plunge into the junk food cavern and several pounds later regret it. Well, if you follow these few principle guidelines, you may be able to avoid that occuring again.
Identifying a diet for healthy living
I could begin this paragraph with a pointer to the diets I believe fit into a category of health and safety but I think we'll simply begin with one simple fact. A healthy diet will include an approximte intake of 800 calories per day. Some diets will try to discourage you from eating essential nutrients because it suits their short term goals. These are not good diets to underatke simply because you'll need to move on to a more regular diet later which can be awkward and difficult. Fad diets have become a concern for Nutritionists and doctors alike due to the roblems that they often stimulate over the long term. I would steer clear of rapid weight loss and instead persue a slow healthy reduction in weight while increasing your health position. If you're smart, you will include your doctor in the dieting process. They have more to offer than almost any other profession.
Vegetables and Fruits
Vegetables and fruits should be the major chunk of the food you eat in a day. They are very rich in nutrients. They would give your body the much needed minerals and vitamins it requires. It doesn’t really matter if they are fresh or frozen. The fact that they are eaten is enough. Eating lots of salads is one of the best ways to consume them. They would taste better that way with say olive oil mixed with lemon and some pepper.
Here's an indicative list of what should be eaten:
- Green leafy vegetables like spinach, cabbage, cauliflower.
- Coloured vegetables like tomato, carrots, beetroot, raddish.
- Fruits like bananas, berries, mango, apple, grapes, oranges etc.
Cereals
Doctors say cereals should form at up to one third of your daily food intake. People have lots of misconceptions about this group. They deliberately avoid eating rice or starchy foods thinking that they increase their waist line. This is poor information that is prevalent and needs to be corrected. Cereals like rice or potato contain essential carbohydrates that work wonders for the body. It is the quantity that needs controlling. The bread that you think increases your weight actually gives you wholesome nutrients that your body requires. What is injurious instead is the extra spoon of jam or layer of butter you use while eating in preparation. No one needs to eat three or more sandwiches for lunch. One is adequate. Control those amounts and you take another step towards a healthy diet.
- Rice, breakfast cereals, etc
- Wholemeal multigrain fresh bread, noodles, yam, etc.
- Potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans, lentils, etc.
Milk and dairy products
Milk and other diary products are very important in the daily diet. However, they contain lots of fats. It would be beneficial if you can get the low fat versions of these foods like skimmed milk.
- Skimmed milk
- Low fat yoghurt
- Reduced fat cheese, etc.
Fats and sweets
You would do well if you consumed these items in moderation. Though these foods are almost everyone’s favourite, we need to avoid them to ensure healthy living. This doesn’t mean you give up eating your favourite pastry forever. It only means decreasing its frequency from everyday to once in every fifteen days! I don’t need to tell you what these foods are but for the record, they are mentioned below.
- Fried foods
- Sweets, chocolates
- Pastries, cookies
- Creams, soft drinks, soda pop, etc.
Meat and other such stuff
Meat is very rich in proteins and they are vital for your body. They should be eaten but in moderation. You can always remove the fat in the meat. Take fish at least two times a week and make sure you eat different kinds every time. Some of the examples of healthy meat would be.
- Lean meat
- Fish
- Chicken, (not skin) etc.
After such an exhaustive report on what should comprise your daily food intake for a healthy living, you are no doubt wiser now about the steps to take from here. Accompany this diet with good exercise and regularly to give your health a fine polish. Then you will beam

Dental Health For Your Children
By Gabriel Adams
Contrary to popular notion, gingivitis, which is the first stage of periodontal disease affects children and adolescents as much as it does adults. However, children are less prone to have the advanced form of periodontal disease.
Different Types of periodontal diseases in children
Chronic gingivitis: Commonly seen in children, chronic gingivitis causes the gum tissue to turn red and inflamed and to bleed easily. While it can be prevented and treated by regularly brushing, flossing and regular professional dental care, if left untreated it can advance rapidly and result in a form of periodontal disease that is more severe.
Aggressive periodontitis: Affecting otherwise healthy teenagers and young adults localized aggressive periodontitis affects the first molars and incisors. It is typified by severe loss of alveolar bone. There is surprisingly little plaque formation on the teeth.
Generalized aggressive periodontitis: Starting around puberty, generalized aggressive periodontitis involves the entire mouth and is marked by heavy calculus and plaque accumulation and inflammation of the gums. In due course it results in the teeth becoming loose.
Periodontitis associated with systemic disease: Children who have Down Syndrome, Pailoon-Lefevre syndrome or Type I diabetes are more susceptible to periodontal diseases.
Symptoms of Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease in children is usually accompanied by one of all of the following symptons:
• Bleeding gums during flossing, brushing or even at other times
• Bright red gums that are also swollen
• Roots of teeth are exposed because of gums that are extremely receded
• Persistent bad breath that does not improve even after brushing and flossing
How to Prevent Periodontitis in Children
Establishing good oral health habits and early diagnosis are essential for successful prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases. Promote good oral habits in your child as early as possible. You can start using toothpaste when your child is as young as 12 months. Schedule regular appointments with your dentist for checkups, teeth cleaning and periodontal evaluations. Check your child’s mouth regularly and look for the presence of any symptoms of periodontal disease including bright red and swollen gums, bleeding gums, bad breath and gums that are receding from the teeth.
Work with your child towards improving his poor oral health habits. Being a role model and practicing what you preach will encourage to look after his dental hygiene more than any other strategy you may use.
A word of precaution; an advanced form of periodontal disease may be an early sign of a prevailing systemic disease and would require immediate medical attention. If your child exhibits any of the symptoms of severe and persistent periodontitis that is resistant to therapy, a medical evaluation and medical treatment is a must.
Cavities & your child
Children who eat a lot of sugary foods including cookies, candy or raisins or drink a lot of sweet drinks including sodas or sweetened drinks are at a higher risk of getting cavities. It is important to get children into the habit of gargling after every meal, brushing their teeth at least twice a day and flossing at least once daily.

How to Eat for Health: Fats and Oils
By: Charles Carter
Fats are an extremely important part of a healthy diet, and the essential fatty acids are named essential for a reason. They aid in just about every bodily function as they play a crucial role in cell wall function. Working as a transporter, they pass oxygen and nutrients through the cell wall and help to keep invaders and other foreign bodies out of the cell. Other functions performed include brain cell function, immune system, nervous system and hormone function.
So what is hydrogenation and what are the results of ingesting partially hydrogenated fats into your body? Well, hydrogenation is simply the process of heating an oil to the point where hydrogen bubbles enter, becomes attached to the fatty acids and form a solid in fully hydrogenated and more of a thick cream, or butter texture when partially hydrogenated. Hydrogenated oil has a high level of trans fats and these trans fats act within a cell in a confused manor and will keep nutrients out and let the foreign bodies in. Not only do these trans fats lead to obesity, but also are linked to disease such as diabetes and coronary disease (the leading killer in America).
Trans fats and partially hydrogenated oils can be found in a number of foods, and are used because they are a less expensive alternative to other cooking substitutes such as butter. Baked goods, potato chips, cookies, crackers, are just a few of the food categories that contain partially hydrogenated oils, the worst of which is partially hydrogenated soybean oil. This soybean oil is noted to negatively affect the thyroid function resulting in feeling sluggish, a decrease in energy and reluctance to want to exercise.
How much trans fat is bad? When you find out something can lead to heart disease and obesity, I wouldn’t take any chances and I would avoid any of it at all costs. Some reports have shown that .5g of trans fat is equal to approximately 1.5g of unsaturated fat in terms of how it affects your health. You won’t see this in the label of many products as .5 g can still be labeled as 0% trans fat due to federal law. But when you scroll down the ingredients, you might come across partially hydrogenated oil present in the first few lines.
The best way to avoid trans fat is to read your labels thoroughly. Avoid grocery shopping in the middle aisles for food and stay on the outskirts of the store where the fresh produce, dairy and meat are located. When cooking, choose to cook with virgin coconut oil, although high in saturated fat, and low on many health food lists, it is unaffected by heat, and it is metabolized differently than other oils as it will be burned as fuel and not stored into the fat cells. Fats are extremely important to our diet, but you can make healthy choices about fats by reading labels and learning about the different types of fats and how they affect the body.

Health, Exercise and Buying An All In One Exercise System
By: James Murray
These days, more and more people are turning away from memberships to gyms and instead choosing to invest money in a home gym. You can put a home gym in a spare corner of your home, or even in the basement if you wish. Along with helping you save money by combining several different types of equipment into one machine, these types of equipment can easily fit in small spaces and type up a lot less weight than their individual counterparts.
When you are considering to buy an all in one piece of exercise equipment, you should first think about your goals. You should consider what you hope to achieve from exercising and just how well this piece of equipment will benefit you.
There are several types of all in one equipment for exercise on the market and almost all of them are advertised well on television, in magazines, and on the internet. The most popular types on the market are those types that are geared towards individuals who are interested in lifting weights.
Right now, the two most popular types of all in one exercise systems are the Bowflex and Total Gym brands. The Bowflex system uses resistant bows that bend instead of the traditional weights that simply lift. Bowflex is designed to fit a wide variety of budgets and needs, it is widely adaptable and extremely popular as well.
To make things even better, you can store the basic Bowflex system in small and tight places, even under a bed if you choose. The larger and more expensive Blowflex system competes with the types of professional equipment that you can find in gyms, which allow you a quality workout on quality equipment.
The Total Gym system is great as well, as it is advertised by martial arts legend Chuck Norris and supermodel Christie Brinkley. It is less expensive than the Bowflex and uses gravity and resistance instead of traditional weights. By using this system, you have the ability to adapt the machine to a wide variety of exercises that will work many different areas of your body.
When you make that decision about buying an all in one exercise system, you must also decide on price, features, brand, and just who will use the machine. If your family plans to use it as well, then you will need to get a system that everyone will agree on. You obviously would not want a machine that is too complicated for others in your home.
Even though Bowflex and Total Gym are the 2 most popular types of all in one equipment, there are several others out there as will, from brands such as Weider and many others. Before you make your choice, you should look at several to see which one offers you more for your money.

Winter Skin Care Tips
By: Xavier Gallery
Winter skin care is an area where many people fail to make changes in their daily routine, causing them to become discouraged when the cold weather brings on acne breakouts, dry skin, and dark circles around their eyes. But the onset of winter doesn’t mean that you have to succumb to the side effects it can have on your skin. By making a couple of simple changes to your skin care regimen, you can maintain beautiful skin in even the harshest winters.
Start Your Day with a Hot Shower
It shouldn’t take much to talk you into a warm shower on a cold winter morning, but just in case it does, here are the benefits from your skin’s perspective. First, the water of the shower provides a deep moisturizer for the skin. Second, as your body’s temperature rises, your veins expand, which allows your blood to reach all areas of your skin. Finally, a warm shower provides the perfect opportunity to integrate your moisturizer, which is the next step on our list.
Focus on Moisturizer
There is no way around it; you have to increase your use of moisturizer in the winter months. Exposure to cold air literally robs your skin of its natural healing ability, and this leads to dryness, flaking, and cracking. You will need a three-step moisturizing process to maintain healthy skin in these conditions. First, use a gentle body soap that is designed to provide moisturizers. Follow this by applying body lotion after your shower to lock in moisture. Finally, invest in a good facial moisturizer that is free of fragrances and other unnecessary additives. Apply this immediately after anytime you wash your face.
Exfoliate Twice a Week
Because the cold climates are so hard on the skin, you will find instances of flaking skin during this time. This is your body’s natural reaction to skin cells that have died off, and it can be controlled with exfoliation. Not only does this technique wash away dead skin cells, but it also promotes the growth of new skin. While this is an excellent strategy to combat occurrences of dry skin, it must be used in moderation. Exfoliating more than twice a week can lead to skin irritation, so you need to be cautious if you notice any adverse effects.
Get Some Extra Rest
It is not always easy to make time in our hectic lives for sleep, but a little extra rest can go a long way to curing those dark eye circles and fine lines on your face. Even if you can’t afford to sleep in an extra hour everyday, you can still provide your body with additional rest by simply taking a short break in your day. Relax your tensions and close your eyes for ten or fifteen minutes during your lunch hour. It may not seem like a lot, but by giving your face muscles a break from their tension will help ward off the sings of aging.
By utilizing some of these simple steps for winter skin care, you can preserve the softness and beauty of your skin even when the weather is at its worst. Just remember to follow these steps on a regular basis. It is much easier to control skin conditions with prevention as opposed to treating them after they have occurred.
Winter skin care is an area where many people fail to make changes in their daily routine, causing them to become discouraged when the cold weather brings on acne breakouts, dry skin, and dark circles around their eyes. But the onset of winter doesn’t mean that you have to succumb to the side effects it can have on your skin. By making a couple of simple changes to your skin care regimen, you can maintain beautiful skin in even the harshest winters.
Start Your Day with a Hot Shower
It shouldn’t take much to talk you into a warm shower on a cold winter morning, but just in case it does, here are the benefits from your skin’s perspective. First, the water of the shower provides a deep moisturizer for the skin. Second, as your body’s temperature rises, your veins expand, which allows your blood to reach all areas of your skin. Finally, a warm shower provides the perfect opportunity to integrate your moisturizer, which is the next step on our list.

Weight Control Tips: How To Stop Gaining Weight
By: Bekie Cohner-5496
Gaining weight in adults is a major problem now a day. Reasons can be many behind it. Eating habits, life style, addiction, lack of physical exercise, metabolism complications can be some of the reasons. According to doctors and other taught men, as we get older, your body changes and slows down with each passing decade. Aging changes our body composition, decreasing the amount of calorie-burning muscle and replacing it with fat. And adults become much less active as they get older but continue to eat as much as they did in their early decades. Deadly combination of aging, less exercise and a healthy appetite are the reasons so many of us eventually experience increased weight. Oldest and best way to stop gaining weight is to power up your metabolism by increasing muscle mass.
Diet experts and doctors recommend strength training a few times week to both retain and build muscle. As muscle is metabolically active, and to minimize naturally occurring muscle loss, we need to be physically active every day, including resistance training two to three times a week. By being active, we can enjoy more calories without gaining weight. Common mistakes people make that lead to weight gain include not taking out time for physical activity, senseless eating in front of the TV after dinner, intake of too much alcohol or sweetened drinks like specialty coffees, regular skipping breakfast, having irregular meals, taking kids' meals, intake of too much of junk food and not enough protein. We should figure out where your own problem areas are, and find solutions to control calories and fit in more fitness. When ever we are sweet eater, just work a small portion of sweets into diet.
Having healthy diet does not mean following a super-restrictive diet, instead we do have to watch what you put into your mouth. Diet high in simple junk food creates a vicious cycle. As more we eat, the more we want, because these foods aren't as satisfying as foods with protein and fiber. Pitch around the idea that we need to cut calories to maintain weight we will be benefited enough. Diet which includes whole-grain bread, fruits and vegetables, should always include lean or low-fat protein with meals and snacks. Diet experts recommend eating regular meals, paring down portions of high-fat and high-calorie foods, and never skipping breakfast. We don’t have to go to great lengths to stop gaining weight. Just avoid adding extra pounds by making some simple changes to your lifestyle. Subject experts recommend adding 2,000 steps a day to your routine, doing strength training two to three times a week, and shaving 100 calories from your diet each day. And eat two fewer cookies.

4 Effective Natural Treatments for Acne Scars
By: Roberto Bell
Long after the acne has been treated and healed, many people still have to endure a lasting reminder of their suffering from acne: acne scars. Even if their battle with acne is already over, they are still left questioning how to get rid of acne scars.
Some ways to remove acne scars are through invasive operations. Laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, punch elevation, subcutaneous incision, chemical peels, dermal fillers –the list goes on. These methods of how to get rid of acne scars can have almost instantaneous results but they also come with a high price tag.
Fortunately, there are other inexpensive ways of how to get rid of acne scars. Natural remedies for acne scars can be found right in your very own kitchen. Here are 4 natural and effective home treatments for acne scars.
1. Aloe Vera – The healing properties of the aloe vera plant are well documented in history. It has also been proven to be an effective treatment for acne and acne scars. Aloe vera greatly speeds up the skin’s healing process and it regenerates and repairs damaged skin. Aloe vera comes in topical ointment, gel, cream, or soap form. Aloe vera juice can also be ingested orally. You can drink aloe vera juice or use a topical aloe vera treatment for healing acne scars.
2. Lemon Juice – Lemon juice is nature’s very own bleach. It lightens up dark spots, blemishes, and scars that acne can sometimes leave behind. Lemon juice naturally contains alpha hydroxy acids which peel off the skin’s dead layers revealing new, fresh-looking skin. To use lemon juice as a way of how to get rid of acne scars, soak a cotton ball with about a teaspoon of lemon juice. Swipe the soaked cotton ball on your acne scars and leave it on for approximately 10 minutes. Rinse off with water. Lemon juice can make your skin sensitive to light so always protect yourself with sunscreen after using this treatment.
3. Vitamin E – Vitamin E promotes healthy skin by eliminating harmful free radicals from the body. Vitamin E also improves the appearance of acne scars and prevents new ones from forming. The recommended daily allowance for vitamin E is 15 IU. Get your dose of vitamin E by orally taking one capsule a day. You can also break open a vitamin E capsule and directly apply it to acne scars.
4. Essential Oils – These include tea tree oil, rosehip seed oil, and lavender oil. Tea tree oil has antiseptic and antibacterial properties which clears the skin of acne scars and blemishes. Rosehip seed oil is rich in fatty acids that regenerate scarred skin tissue. Lavender oil greatly reduces inflammation, soothes the skin, and heals scars left by acne. Always check the concentration of the essential oils before using them. A much too high concentration can do more harm than good to your skin.
These are some of the natural ways of how to get rid of acne scars. Patience is key in using natural acne scar treatments because it will always take some time before these methods show results.

The Healthier Side of Life
By: naix
An illness that is increasingly reported among many adolescents today is called bulimia nervosa, a certain type of eating disorder that is characterized by periods of overeating followed by purging. The purging is self-induced through vomiting or with the use of laxatives. It is different from anorexia nervosa, another type of eating disorder where a person becomes too thin due to severe lack of food consumption. Anorexia is triggered by an irrational fear of being fat or being perceived as overweight. Women are more likely to have such eating disorders than men. These disorders usually begin during the teenage years and are often accompanied by depression, anxiety disorders, and substance abuse. Some individuals who develop eating disorders can also experience depression and anxiety. Experts also think that many of these people may already have Obsessive-Compulsive Disord (OCD).There is also some evidence that eating disorders run in families.
Although eating disorders in the U.S. are now openly discussed to increase public awareness and discussion, women still suffer from these conditions around the world --- most of the time, in secret. No one is really sure of its cause (but there are many theories regarding this), and the number of sufferers still continue to grow. Whatever the cause might be, the effects of this disorder can be damaging, devastating and occasionally life threatening. People who weigh at least fifteen percent less than the normal weight for their height may not have enough body fat to keep their organs and other body parts healthy. People who suffer from bulimia often experience stomach pain. Like those patients of anorexia, girls with bulimia may stop getting their monthly periods. The most dangerous fact of having bulimia would be the constant purging that can eventually lead to loss of the mineral potassium, which can contribute to heart problems and even death. Despite this, all anorexia and bulimia patients can and will get well after proper medical treatments. People with eating disorders get well, usually returning to strong, confident and healthy individuals relatively quickly. Since anorexia and bulimia cases involve the mind and body, Spain has offered treatments that incorporates CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), hypnotherapy, and NLP (neuro linguistic programming) that should be undertaken after proper consultation with the doctor. A small British clinic in South of Spain is fast acquiring good reputation for its success in treating individuals suffering from anorexia and bulimia. They have a CBT-based approach that is highly focused and is designed to guarantee in treating the cause rather than the symptom of the problem. This may sound like a generalization of the idea, but is a common mistake to make during medical treatments. People have experienced something in the past that played a critical role in the development of such disorder. More often than not, once the cause is revealed and understood, the improvement from the patient can be dramatic provided that the clinic involves dieticians and nutritionists' help during the treatment process. The very basis of psychological treatment is by forming a trustworthy relationship with the therapist and addressing issues such as feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that lead to the development and maintenance of the eating disorder. It may include issues on anxiety, poor self-esteem, depression, self-confidence, and difficulties with interpersonal relationships. By using CBT as treatment, this encourages people to re-examine and challenge existing thought and behavior patterns. By utilizing every aspect of treatment for bulimia, women can be go back on the track towards health --- physically and psychologically.
