Skin Care Tip:

Easily Control Eczema!

The term eczema is applied to a wide range of persistent skin conditions. These include skin rashes which can have many different symptoms such as: redness, skin edema, itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing or bleeding. Eczema is believed to be hereditary and is most commonly found in families whose members also have other auto immune diseases such as hay fever and asthma. Eczema sufferers know that a flare-up can range from itchy and mild to annoying and painful.

As there is presently no cure for eczema, there are several things one can do to prevent future flare-ups. Keeping your skin well moisturized is one of the best things you can do to help control the frequency, duration, and severity of the itchiness. Also, avoid extremes in temperature and humidity since these can worsen or trigger an eczema flare up. While it may be tricky, maintaining a moderate and stable temperature and humidity all year is most helpful. Last but not least, since stress can cause an eczema outbreak, research is now showing that keeping a calm head and good mental outlook may be one of the best ways to help keep eczema at bay..

Feeling healthy and losing weight is a lifestyle change that consists of eating lots of fruits and vegetables and choosing more low-fat proteins and complex carbs. This is the way to lose the weight and actually keep it off. Also load up on H­2O, drinking eight glasses of water per day. This will aid in digestion, cleanse your body of toxins and make you less hungry.

This will lead to quickie diets that will not having lasting results. Since weight fluctuates daily, it is best to weigh yourself once a week. Avoid weighing yourself every day! Deciding on a specific day in particular can help you stay on track. The most important tip is to surround yourself with healthy snacks. So when that craving hits, you can grab some fruit instead of a candy bar. Learning to lose weight in a natural healthy way is a long term commitment. Do not get discouraged if you have a bad day. It happens. Just remember to get right back on track the next day and stay focused.
