Skin Care Tip:
Use
sunblock!
During this time of
year, it is important to mention sun block.
All types of skin need to be treated. There is a tendency for
people with darker skin to mistakenly believe that they are
protected from the harmful rays of the sun. While it might be
true that they get less skin cancer, there is still a
significant percentage that do. With more sun damage and
exposure, the risk multiplies. Of course, their increased
pigmentation does not offer any protection for the accelerated
aging effect the sun has on their skin.
To make the point,
check out the two pictures below:
 
The left picture is
a 58 year old American Indian female who spent practically all
of her time outdoors. The right picture is a 72 year old
Tibetian monk who spent practically all of his time indoors away
from the sun. I believe the pictures say it all!
Sun block is an essential part of
an effective skin care regimen.
Don't forget about your lips. Wearing sunglasses also protects
your eyes. Both areas should not be forgotten.
Anti-Aging Tip:
Never underestimate
the importance of Good Posture!
Poor posture sabotages
your figure and health. It makes you look older, unglamorous,
unhappy and tired. It's the first step toward dowager's
hump, double chin, pot belly and sway back. And that's on the
outside! Inside the body it can exacerbate varicose veins,
pinched nerves and heart strain.
Put you body in alignment
and things will begin to fall into place: flatter stomach,
straighter back, buttocks tucked in more and a longer neck.
And you'll move more gracefully, too.
Here's how to do it:
-
Stand with feet a few
inches apart, toes pointed straight ahead and arms hanging
loosely at your sides.
-
Distribute your
weight evenly on both legs by pressing evenly on the balls
of your feet. Tighten the muscles in the front of your
thigh.
-
Slowly draw the
buttocks tightly together.
-
Now, slowly stretch
your spine upward while drawing your shoulder blades
together. Take care not to lift your shoulders or tilt
your chin.
Start each day by putting
your body in alignment this way, until good posture is natural
to you. It's good to have a friend share this activity
with you so you can check each other out.
Of course, there are many
specific exercises that can help even more. Consult with
your physician, a physical therapist or even a certified yoga
instructor.
Once again, good posture
will help you look more glamorous…feel more alive - and, most of
all, keep your body much healthier for your lifetime.
