Healthy Body – Healthy Lifestyle


Healthy Living Lifestyle

With the growing demand of the medical industry to produce treatments, medications, and prescriptions to make mankind live longer, the easiest thing for them to do is promote a healthy lifestyle.

Fast food diets, low calorie diets, and low cholesterol diets are just a few of the popular diet and exercise programs for people to achieve a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle does not come from a book or plan that some ‘health genius’ composes and sells, all of the essential resources needed to attain a healthy body through any fast food diet, low cholesterol diet, low calorie diet, or any other diet is available to you if you look hard enough. The body is a complex machine that works in a simple mechanism: it needs a certain ratio of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats based on the activities you do throughout the day.

It becomes more difficult in trying to achieve a healthy body with the highly processed and preservative food industry making healthy foods harder to find for the fast food diet plan or other system you decide to pursue. Each weight loss or diet program can provide you with the essential information needed to understand what you must do for reaching your goals, but where lots of them stop is in guiding you to the top nutritional food sources that you need. Diets and weight loss programs that deliver food to your door are becoming more and more popular because of the ease of access, the well rationed food portions and quality of food you receive.

You must understand that having a healthy body is not possible unless you make it, in fact, a lifestyle. It sounds ironic, but unfortunately most people believe you can have a life of junk food, high fat/cholesterol food (or binge eat) and still attain the body, look, or figure you want if you dedicate MOST of your time to reaching your goals. This is the main misunderstanding of any low calorie diet plan or any other system, there are no breaks when reaching your goals. Even though you might luck out and achieve a body that you are satisfied with, your still missing out in a healthy lifestyle because your not reaching your full potential. A healthy body involves the way you look, but also the way you act, feel, and portray yourself. It is something you must buy into and commit to, 24/7!

Great News For Healthy Living


Daily Healthy Living Tips

In these economic times, it can be easy to feel a little down. We all like to do things for ourselves for a good pick-me-up such as, the latte, the mani/pedi hour or a great new hairstyle. Other folks like an escape with lottery tickets, sodas and cigarettes. Everyone has a secret pleasure whether it is texting friends on a cell phone or better yet a new cell phone to escape or renting movies. Life is great fun whether it is escaping or living just to get away from bad news.

I’ve been practicing dentistry for 15 years in the Southern Crescent Area and I love it. My mission in life is to help others claim their self-esteem. The best pick-me-up there can be is having a great feeling by someone telling you everything is going to be okay, you are in a safe place and make you feel good by focusing on the most important person in your life – You. Your needs and wants are put in front of all else. This is what a trip to the dentist could make you feel.

Sometimes it is easy to avoid the dentist by the excuses everyone has – too busy, too expensive and “I don’t have dental insurance”. Sometimes there are other reasons such as fear; embarrassment or we just don’t know whom to trust. Do you know someone in this situation?

Let’s face it; we can all “clean” our teeth ourselves without any profession help, right? The answer is YES, and quite honestly no for some. Everyone has different risk factors in not having a professional cleaning performed regularly. For some, I have seen 20 years without dental care without extensive problems and it is amazing when that does happen.

Maintenance in everything from cars, fitness and lawn is essential in keeping things running correctly. Oil changes and tire rotations are essential and the life expectancy of owning a car may be seven years. You wouldn’t just put gas in the car until it stopped running if you wanted to keep it in great shape, would you? It is so much cheaper to keep up with maintenance than to keep having breakdowns and car insurance doesn’t pay for repairs or maintenance.

Regular professional dental cleanings perform much more than buffing the stains from your teeth. Early insights to problems such as decay or gum disease caught are substantially less costly. What does a professional dental cleaning cost? It may cost the price of highlights at a mid-level salon or the cost of a family dinner at a moderately priced restaurant. The effects from a sound peace of mind are priceless. Choose health, you will be glad you did.

Dr. Linda King (Kohl) DDS, MAGD is a general dentist focusing on adult restorative dentistry. She has been practicing in her Locust Grove office since 1997. She is one of the youngest female dentists to attain her Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry, an award that only 2% of dentists attain in the country. She is a graduate of the Medical College of Virginia’s dental school and attends hundreds of hours of continuing education in order to best service her clientele 30 miles south of Atlanta in Charming Locust Grove, Georgia.

How To Make Living A Healthy Lifestyle A Priority In Your Life


10 Tips For A Healthy Lifestyle

If that motivation was sparked by a picture of you that you were not that please about that’s good. You want to make sure that you are doing this for yourself and not for anyone else. If you are doing it for the wrong reasons then there is no way you are going to last an entire year. Making your life more healthy takes effort, and a lot of it.

No matter what walk of life you are coming from it is never easy to start training, exercising, and eating better automatically. Whether you can afford to hire a trainer or not is not the question at hand, the question is whether you truly want to live a healthier lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle is not just focusing on eating better and exercising more, but it is truly a way of life. Being active can become natural to you, it just takes some time, effort and practice

Put your goals into forward motion and you can achieve anything

Nothing was ever achieved sitting on the couch or on the computer. You might have the best intentions possible, but nothing will ever be put into action if you don’t put that effort in. try new things, take a risk, and you will be on your way to a healthier lifestyle in no time at all. One of the best ways to jumpstart your healthy lifestyle is to join a new group that focuses on your goals. Whether this is a running group, and rock climbing club, or a cooking class, it does not matter. Once you have made the effort you will quickly see how your actions will transform your life one day at a time

Think about the future, don’t dwell on it

Thinking about the way you will look in the future is not the only thing that should be driving your efforts. When you are starving and that big piece of chocolate cake is looking you in the face, what are you going to do? If you find support within your friends and family members you are going to have a much greater chance of succeeding in the long term.

Long term goals are where we should spend the majority of our time planning. If we only choose to focus on the short term we are never going to get anywhere because there will not be enough time to achieve these short term goals while dreaming about the future at the same time. If you truly want to make living a healthy lifestyle your priority make sure to take some risks, get the support that you need, and plan for the long term.

The Top 3 Tips For Healthy Skin


Healthy Lifestyle Tips For Adults

Are you striving to take better care of your complexion so that you can be radiantly beautiful? Then you have come to the right place because through my extensive experience as a skin care specialist I can tell you what you need to know in the top three tips for healthy skin.

Tip #1 – Drink More Water!

This is incredibly important for any man or woman that wants to improve their facial appearance right away. Water will actually work to flush all toxins from your facial cells, which is why it is one of the best tips for healthy skin that I can share with you.

Once you start drinking a regular amount of water, you will find that your metabolism is boosted, which means that your facial cell turnover is higher.

What this means for you is that now your facial cells will be shed at a rate that is similar to when you were a teenager.

If you remember the soft and smooth texture of your face as a young adult, then you’ll know how important it is to use the metabolism benefits from drinking more water to promote new cell growth for your face.
It is an instant youthful boost and facelift!

Tip #2 – High Quality Ingredients

Please tell me that you are not using any type of poor over-the-counter product that you found in the remainder bin at the drugstore, and that has harsh chemical ingredients in it.

If this is the case, then you are doing much more harm for your face than good because of the irritating effects of low-quality chemicals in over-the-counter facial products.

I completely recommend to look for a high quality product that is full of antioxidants like Coenzyme Q10, which works to neutralize free radicals in your face.

Free radicals come from outside damage from pollution and the sun, and once you neutralize them, you prevent your facial cells from being damaged any further. If you are able to prevent your facial cells from damage in this way, then you can stop signs of premature aging.

Tip #3 – Moisturize:

This may seem like a very obvious option in the tips for healthy skin, but so many people begin to experience signs of age on their face because it is not properly moisturized.

It is important to moisturize after every single time that you cleanse to keep the delicate moisture barrier of your face intact and free from damage. That means using a day cream and a night cream to ensure that there is a constant source of hydration feeding your skin.

There are many high-quality moisturizers available that will work to protect the cells of your face by keeping them soft and healthy. Look for proven ingredients that have been used world-wide for centuries, and you’ll be on the right track.

Cleopatra knew the value of honey for her skin; in Brazil women have been using Babassu, a light, natural wax for centuries to lock moisture in.

In Japan, beautiful women have known for years that the source of youth comes from the sea, and use products containing Phytessence Wakame, a sea kelp, to keep their skin wrinkle-free.

And your grandmother and your grandmother’s grandmother would probably tell you of the powerful properties of Vitamin E for all skin-related treatments. Value that advice!

Healthy Breakfast For A Healthy Lifestyle


Healthy Living Lifestyle

One of the most important things that will help you live a healthy life is having a balanced diet. A healthy diet will help the body on the inside and will show on the outside. As children, our eating habits are heavily influenced by our parents who try to find a happy medium between letting us eat all the junk food we want to keep us happy yet still ensuring we get enough fruit, vegetable and a varied healthy diet. As adults we should be responsible enough to maintain our own healthy diet and know instinctively that we can’t much our way through a six pack of crisps in one sitting!

Breakfast is one meal you should not skip, it wakes up your metabolism and it can actually help you lose weight. A bowl of cereal in the morning can help you snack less on sweet foods during the day. It will provide you the energy you need, the vitamins and minerals and daily fiber your body uses to function during the day and it should keep you feeling full up until lunch. Cereals, fruit and milk in your breakfast will keep you healthy, and can help reduce the risk of developing diseases such as ulcer, gastritis, diabetes.

There is a strong correlation between intellectual performance and having a healthy breakfast at the start of the day. The morning meal will energize you and create a general feeling of well-being that will put you in a much better position to handle the daily challenges at work and at home.

A glass of fruit juice or a cup of tea with breakfast will rehydrate you and help with the assimilation of vitamins and minerals from food. What you should avoid is coffee, tobacco and alcohol unless you want to feel tired by lunchtime. Fried foods or high-fat foods will slow your digestion and give you a feeling of being bloated. Sweet foods will only give you a temporary sensation of being energetic and they will not appease your hunger. Whole grain rolls, hot or cold whole-grain cereals, combined with low-fat protein coming from hard-boiled eggs, lean slices of meat, poultry or fish, low-fat yoghurt and low-fat cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables, can offer you a combination of healthy ways to enjoy breakfast.

Doughnuts or croissants will spike your blood sugar, making you feel hungry quickly and craving for carbohydrates. A healthy breakfast will keep the blood sugar level balanced and will sustain you until lunch.

Although incorporating breakfast into a busy day may seem difficult, the multiple benefits a healthy start to the day brings with it should convince you to allow for some extra time to prepare it in the morning. Start gradually to make the transition smoother. Oatmeal can be quick to prepare, toast may be a transition from no breakfast to having it on a regular basis. Your body will get used to being fuelled by the food it gets in the morning, and your metabolism will improve. People who regularly skip breakfast tend to have a slower metabolism, which may actually come between their losing weight.

Simply Feel Good offer a competitive range health food supplements including an extensive collection of healthy breakfast options

Healthy Tips for Summer Moving


Daily Healthy Living Tips

Summer is the favorite time to move. This season is simply ideal because the weather conditions are usually great. When opting to move during this schedule, you should think about the health of your body, too. Summer can be quite a challenge especially if you are not accustomed to working hard on a hot and scorching day. Below are some healthy tips that you must keep in mind when doing summer relocation.

Moving companies like Austin Movers experience the most number of bookings and requests for relocation during the summer season. If it is your desire and intention to move during these times, it becomes necessary that you contact and book your moving date with your chosen mover as soon as possible. Don’t wait until it’s only a few weeks to your desired date, or else, you will be subjected to a very sticky and stressful situation wherein the new homeowner comes barging in with his or her truck of household goods and find that you are still there. Your moving imposes a lot of stress not only to your physical being but also to your emotional and psychological being as well. At best, avoid unnecessary confrontations and panicky situations. Thus, choosing and booking your moving date schedule should be on top of your priority list on your intended summer moving.

Since summer presents the hottest temperatures, it is important that you understand how the heat will affect your body. Always be conscious about not spending too much time standing under the sun as you try to count off and monitor your boxed belongings. Also be alert in spotting signs and symptoms of heat stroke or heat-related diseases in your companions. Remind everyone to stay under the shade from time to time and be ready with special remedies and kits should anyone succumb to any heat-related distress. Make sure your mobile phone is also charged to full so you can contact doctors or paramedics for the necessary emergency aid.

It is also important to keep hydrated during your summer move. Exposure to sun or too much heat can dehydrate you and your companions as you can be profusely sweating when you are exerting effort all throughout the day. Austin Movers suggests that you provide ample supply of water or flavored sports drinks for everybody. Avoid offering drinks which have caffeine in them such as coffee and soda for they can stimulate frequent urination that can further dehydrate you and your movers.

Moving home can be so stressful, packing and moving things can be so nuisance. But with the help of Austin Movers a moving company that you can trust, moving is now easy and uncomplicated.

Create Healthy Organic Habits


Healthy Living Lifestyle

Eating has become more of a habit than a real nutritional life supporting need.  Just because you are watching TV or just relaxing doesn’t mean you need to eat.  Nor does it mean you need to drink soda with lunch just because you always do and candy bar at 3pm. 

The term “Organic” has several meanings but one is “developing  in  a  manner  analogous  to  the  natural  growth  and  evolution  characteristic  of  living  organisms;  arising  as  a  natural  outgrowth.” What does the mean?  It means we change and grow naturally.  This growth comes from your logical portions of your brain making a change.  You could also call it the “ah ha!” moment, when you finally get it.  You only know what it has been trained for.

New organic habits is how you will truly loose the weight and keep it off more importantly.  As you create new habits your lifestyle will change without you really knowing it.  That is the issue with fad diets, do not last.  After the weight is lost, old habits creep back and weight goes back on.  As humans we are creatures of habit; what we eat, what brands we use, including our morning coffee. 

So how do you create new healthy organic habits?  You have to train yourself everyday.  Learn to realize that a candy bar is not a good afternoon snack but an apple is.  Realizing that is half the battle.  When at the store you need to buy more apples, and bring them with you to work.  Some planning is required, like making chicken for example.  At the store purchase 2 more servings then you need for one meal.  Make them all then store the left over chicken and make a healthy chicken salad.  There is no fancy diet, just finding the will to make a change.

Weight loss is within you, by developing new healthy habits.  Creating organic habits that will lead to a healthy lifestyle, not only physically but mentally.  Your mind is what will trigger the thought, “I must go workout” rather than “I should go workout” or “I am bored, have some cookies and watch TV” to “I am bored, let’s go walk and eat an apple”. 

Learn about an organic healthy lifestyle at OrganicFitness.com.  Organic is not just about high quality produce, it begins with you.

The Right and Wrong Concepts About Healthy Living


Daily Healthy Living Tips

A healthy life is a key to happiness-more and more people are now realizing this fact. Whereas before, health was often second or third only among the priorities of many individuals, there is now a growing awareness of the importance of healthy living.

Still, despite the seemingly endless formulas being introduced today to achieve a healthy life-from different diet programs to various pills and over-the-counter health medications-there are still a lot of people who experience chronic diseases like cancer and heart problems. Plus, there seems to be an increasing number of individuals suffering from health maladies like obesity. Where does the problem lie?

The Distorted Concept About Health

One of the greatest reasons behind the health problems plaguing the world today despite the continuous clamor for a healthy living is the distorted concept that many people has created about health. Let’s take a look at three of these concepts and let’s try to correct them:

Concept 1: Weight loss equals good health. Many people think that being healthy means losing weight. This could be due to the stigma associated with too much weight and obesity, not only in terms of its health risks but as well as in terms of aesthetics. Because of this, many people believe that a healthy life only involves shedding extra pounds and getting a good body shape. Truth: Good health is overall balance. Weight loss and good body shape are only small portions of healthy living-they’re not the whole thing. Oftentimes, they are simple side effects of a healthy life. Good health involves a lot more, a development not just of the body but as well of the mind and of the other aspects of a person’s life.

Concept 2: Good health can be achieved overnight. There are diet programs and even health pills that promise good effects in a matter of a few days. Many people are attracted to these products and programs because of their claim to show results fast, only to be disappointed when their expectations are not met. Truth: Good health is best achieved with a slow but steady process. Good health is not some sort of a miracle; you can’t force it to happen at once. The key is discipline and consistency. Teach yourself to eat healthy meals. Curb your cravings for unhealthy foods. Exercise regularly. When you practice these one at a time, slowly but without fail, you’ll wake up one day living the healthy life you desire.

Concept 3: Going artificial is the easiest way to achieve good health. You’ve seen them: health pills, tablets, capsules, food additives, all promising an easier way to getting healthy. Going healthy is just a matter of taking a pill a day-no need to sweat it out. Truth: The best way to be healthy is to go raw and natural. Nothing beats eating rawfoods and natural produce like fruits and vegetables, plus exercise, to achieving good health-not any miracle pill and not the best artificial health tablet you can find because these are merely food supplements. You need to sweat it out if you really want to live healthy.

These three basic concepts about health should be your starting guide to enjoy a healthy living. After all, it all starts with the right set of mind.

Healthy Weight Loss Supplements For a Healthier Life


10 Tips For A Healthy Lifestyle

We all want to be healthier and in better shape. Even those that may not be willing to work at it wish for better health. So people turn to diets, and workouts, and weight loss supplements, and various other remedies, in order to attain that healthier life.

Here’s the catch: some of these supplements do not contribute to a healthier life, and it is not just weight loss products you need to be concerned about. There are many products on the market that are advertised as promoting better health, but are packed full of chemicals and preservatives.

These chemicals show up in many products that you use on a daily basis. From skincare products to vitamins to low carb energy bars, there is a chance that additional preservatives have been added. While these additives have been passed as safe by the FDA, there are many that are very concerned about the long term affects of these products

Many people rely on these supplements as a tool to help them lose weight. They have a diet plan that they stick to, but the weight just doesn’t seem to go down. They started the diet to get healthy, and they don’t want to have to give up their diet supplements in order to avoid the preservatives.

Fortunately, there are a lot of very good organic herbal products on the market that they can choose from. Some studies have shown that there are many natural remedies that are just as effective, if not more effective that the pills that are being sold by pharmaceutical companies. In fact, some of the popular brands contain natural ingredients; they are just buried under all of the chemical preservatives and additives.

You need to spend some time education yourself about what the benefits are from the many different products that are available. Different herbs and plants have a different effect on the body, and you need to know what to look for to get the results you want.

Some products, like hoodia, act as an appetite suppressant. Other products help to detoxify the body, and help you to get rid of waste that is trapped in your body tissue. Still others work to boost your metabolism. Which product you use is a matter of what you are trying to accomplish.

Understanding what different products do will help you understand many of the blends that are on the market as well. Companies are developing blends that combine different items that work together to promote better health. You may find products that suppress your appetite while also increasing your metabolism. Or it may have antioxidants added that will help reduce the risk of some cancers.

The key is, you get to take advantage of the healthy benefits without having to worry about what hidden ingredients you may be putting into your body. You can have a natural way of handling your problem without having to deal with unexpected side effects or reactions.

Taking weight loss supplements should be a way to help you to manage your weight problems. They should be tools for you to use, not something that contributes to other problems. Use products that are natural, organic cures, and avoid any unforeseen problems down the road.

Six Tips on Diets For Healthy Skin


Healthy Lifestyle Tips For Adults

Have you ever wondered if it matters what diets for healthy skin you tried to follow? What we eat is going to affect everything about the body, so don’t think your skin is any different.

You won’t find unhealthy food choices suggested when considering what you should eat if you desire nice looking healthy skin. By unhealthy I mean food full of saturated fat, trans fat, sugar, refined flour- those kind of substances.

Let me give you a few tips on diets for healthy skin, where I focus on what you should eat and drink.

1) Keep your food as natural as you can. Just like skin care products that contain harsh chemicals will hurt your skin, so will the chemicals in food products. My rule of thumb is, if I don’t know what an ingredient is on the label, it probably isn’t a natural food.

2) By local if you can. The farther away from you the food comes, the more it has to have preservative or some other type of chemical on it to keep it fresh. For instance, if you have a farmer’s market or if your local grocery stores sells produce from area farmers, buy from them. The fresher you can eat it the more the vitamin and mineral content will be.

3) Drink plenty of water. Leave the sugar filled drinks alone and satisfy your thirst with pure clean water. You should consume at least 8 glasses of water daily – that’s two quarts of that wonderful stuff.

4) Eat your fruits and vegetables. They are loaded with vitamins and minerals to give your skin a healthy glow.

5) Stay away from saturated fats. They will cause you to have blemishes and skin breakouts. They aren’t healthy for the rest of your body, so when considering diets for healthy skin, leave them out of your planning.

6) Eat your daily requirement of protein. The amount you need depends on your height and level of activity, so I won’t give particular numbers here. Healthy skin needs the amino acids provided by the protein to stay healthy. Look for protein without all the saturated fat and don’t consume all of it in red meats, which in general has more fat then things like low fat turkey, soy products, legumes,beans and whole grains.

There you have some tips on diets for healthy skin. Along with eating natural foods, you should also use natural skin care products. You’ll find most of these come from plant-based ingredients versus chemically made substances.

Check out my web site listed below in the bio section. You’ll find lots of good information about keeping your skin the healthiest it can be and at the same time end up with beautiful young looking skin.
