Healthy Heart
Your heart health is a major contributor to the overall appearance of your skin. You cannot discount the importance of simply taking care of your body from the inside out. Your dietary choices, daily supplements, water intake and overall healthy, active lifestyle are all essential steps to healthy looking skin. Cleansing, toning, moisturizing and protecting your skin are also essential steps to take in pursuit of a more youthful looking appearance.
When looking at your day-to-day activities or exercising regimen, when your heart is really pumping, you can be sure that it is helping to deliver oxygenated blood and nutrients to the living layers of your skin. When your blood flow is improved and that oxygen-rich blood is delivered to both your skin and muscles, you experience that awesome post-workout glow. It’s a bit of a flushed look that gives you rosy cheeks and a more youthful appearance. All thanks to your heart!
So in the name of beauty, here’s to staying fit, exercising more to keep your heart as healthy as possible and reaping the wonderful rewards a healthy heart has to offer. Not only internally but externally as well.
A healthy heart = healthy skin!

10 Tips to Jump Start Your Diet For Two Weeks
10 Tips to Jump Start Your Diet For Two Weeks
1. Commit to your plan in writing.
Write down all the reasons and motivations you have for losing weight and getting into shape, and post your list someplace where you'll see it everyday.
2. Plan out all your meal and snacks.
When you write out a detailed meal plan, it helps to firm up your commitment - you can consider your own personal likes and dislikes, and rally "own it". You can also use your menus to create a detailed shopping list and plan preparing your meals for a few days at a time.
3. Get rid of foods that aren't on your meal plan.
Once you've decided what you're going to be eating, it's important to get rid of all the things that might tempt you. Go through your freezer, refrigerator and cupboards, and clear out any foods that aren't on your plan.
4. Eat five times a day
Plan to have three meals and two small snacks, and plan to eat every 3-4 hours. It makes easier to eat smaller portions at meals and snacks when you know you'll be eating every few hours.
5. Eat all your meals at home.
Eating out is convenient, but you'll have much more control if you can prepare everything at home for a couple of weeks. When you assume full responsibility for what you eat, it's a lot easier to keep track of your calories.
6. Replace two meals a day with a meal replacement.
Meal replacement come in my forms, including Herbalife Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix, other protein shakes and Protein Bars. What makes them so convenient is that they're portion-controlled, designed to be nutritionally balanced, and they take the guesswork out of your calorie counting. Many people find that an easy way to jump start their diet is to replace two meals with a meal replacement shake, then a calorie-controlled, healthy entree as their third meal with extra veggies and salad on the side.
7. Eat the same menu everyday.
Some people find that it helps to eat the same menu every day for a couple of weeks. Plan out what you'll eat, how much, and calculate the calories so you'll know exactly what you're taking in every day.
8. Eat more vegetables than fruits, eat more fruits than starches.
For just two weeks, aim to get most of your carbohydrates from veggies and salads. Keep your fruits intake to just one or two servings per day, and skip the starches.
Vegetables have the fewest calories per bite, but they're filling and nutritious, so load up on salads and cooked vegetables. Have your fruit as a snack or add it to your protein shakes.
9. Start lunch and dinner with salad.
When you start your lunch and dinner meals with a lightly dressed salad, you'll start to fill up without consuming a lot calories. Vegetables take up a lot of space in your stomach, so having your salad first can help you control the portion size of your entree. And, eating in courses also helps you to slow your pace, too.
10. Start every meal with a glass of water.
A glass of water won't necessarily fill you up very much - or for very long - but many people find that it does help. And, since many people don't drink as much fluid as they should, starting each meal with a glass of water may help to establish this healthy habit.

Lifestyle And Exercise
Exercise doesn't mean you have to join the gym. There are plenty of ways to gradually increase your levels of physical activity and integrate them into your life:
- Keep hydrated by consuming at least two liters of water each day. It is even more important to drink water before, during and after exercise. Even low-intensity exercise requires you to be well hydrated.
- Keep physically active with at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, at least five time each week. You can split each half-hour into three 10-minutes sessions. If 30 minutes are out if reach right now, start with what you can do and gradually build up.
- Choose a form of exercise that will easily fit into your everyday routine: taking a brisk walk, playing sport with your kids, walking the kids to school instead of driving, getting off the bus a stop earlier, using the stairs, etc. have a garden? Get out there and wrestle with the weeds. all the digging, mowing and raking can provide a surprisingly good workout.
- Choose activities that you can do with your family or with friends who will help you to stay motivated.
- Rest and relaxation are essential. Stress can cause health problems, and some believe it can leave your body more prone to illness. Take time to relax by exercising, spending time with your family or friends, or meditating. Aim to get at least seven hours of good-quality sleep each night to ensure you wake up feeling refreshed.
- Limit alcohol intake. Alcohol provides "empty calories", which offer no nutritional benefit.
- Quit smoking.
Nutrition For A Better Life
Your body needs nutrients to function properly. Getting the right amount of these nutrients is necessary to ensure balanced nutrition, which provides fuel for your daily activities and can help you achieve a healthy, active life. the following are some helpful tips :

- Protein is an essential nutrient and is in every part of the body. Protein has a number of different roles, including building and maintaining body tissues, providing a source of energy, and controlling important metabolic processes. Protein can be found in animal sources, such as meat, fish, poultry, eggs and daily products, and in plant foods such as beans, lentils, and soybeans. plans sources of protein contain less fat than animal protein. Eat two to three serving of protein from different sources every day.
- Fiber is an important component of a healthy, balanced diet. It helps your digestive system to process food and to absorb nutrients. Fiber is typically found in foods that come from plants. Good sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables, beans, oats, whole-grain rice and pasta, whole wheat bread, nuts, seeds and brans.
