Ways to Reduce Wrinkles





 Ways to Reduce Wrinkles 



- Grape Seed Oil is wonderful for eliminating and minimizing fine lines and wrinkles and leaves skin soft and 
glowing.





- Apply coconut oil on the portions of skin and face where wrinkles set in and gently massage every night at bedtime.



Sleep on your back. When you sleep on your side, you tend 

to press down on your face. Wrinkles that become etched 

into the surface of the skin and don’t disappear once you’re 

up and will gradually grow deeper. To reduce wrinkle 

formation, sleep on your back.



Eat more fish, especially salmon. I cannot stress enough 

that eating cold-water fish is an awesome source of an 

essential fatty acid known as omega-3. These “good oils” 

help nourish skin and keep it plump and youthful, helping 

to reduce wrinkles.





Don’t smoke. Cigarette smoke reduces collagen levels in 

your skin, leading to saggy arms and face. The additives in 

cigarettes contain toxins that will damage your skin if you 

are being exposed to it on a regular basis. Over time, your 

skin will lose the circulation it once had by being exposed to 

cigarette smoke, making your face appear droopier and less 

healthy in appearance.




Avoid squinting. Repetitive facial movements such as 

squinting overwork the muscles, leading to a groove 

beneath the skin’s surface. As time passes by, the groove 

becomes a wrinkle.




Take vitamin C. This essential nutrient boosts your body’s 

defence against disease-causing bacteria and other toxins. It 

is also known to aid in the production of collagen.




- Massage your face. Doing this increases the blood flow in 

your skin, allowing the nutrients to feed unhealthy cells.  

During your day off, treat yourself with a refreshing, 

revitalising facial massage.

is good". So that when she smiled, accepted the body as a

best memory boosting foods


How to eat smart


Eat more tomatoes
 
There is good evidence to suggest that lycopene, a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes, could help protect against the kind of free radical damage to cells which occurs in the development of dementia, particularly Alzheimer's. 


Broccoli
 
A great source of vitamin K, which is known to enhance cognitive function and improve brainpower. 




Chocolate

Chocolate not only boosts serotonin, the "pleasure hormone", but also comes with large amounts of epicatechin, which improves the brain blood flow and boosts memory.



Blueberries

While all berries provide a number of health-related benefits, blueberries in particular are a memory-boosting powerhouse. They are considered a memory food because they contain a phytochemical that is especially important in reversing the age-related decline of memory, while having a positive influence on spatial working memory.

In addition to this, blueberries rank low on the glycemic index scale, making them a good fruit choice if you are trying to control your blood sugar level.










 


Salmon

On the protein front, one of the best sources is salmon, as it is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for brain function and development. Studies have suggested that supplementing with DHA, which is found in fish oil, is beneficial for the development and maintenance of memory performance.
Other memory foods that contain high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids include flaxseed, walnut, salmon, soybean, halibut, shrimp, snapper, tofu, scallop, and winter squash.


Caffeine

Found in coffee, chocolate, energy drinks, and some medications, caffeine gives you that unmistakable wake-up buzz -- though the effects are short term. And more is often less: Overdo it on caffeine and it can make you jittery and uncomfortable.






 

Add Avocados and Whole Grains

Every organ in the body depends on blood flow, especially the heart and brain. Eating a diet high in whole grains and fruits like avocados can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and lower bad cholesterol. This reduces your risk of plaque buildup and enhances blood flow, offering a simple, tasty way to fire up brain cells.
Whole grains, like popcorn and whole wheat, also contribute dietary fiber and vitamin E. Though avocados have fat, it's the good-for-you, monounsaturated fat that contributes to healthy blood flow.

The Secret Things Men Love About Women





The Secret Things Men Love About Women

 

Men love feminine women. This doesn't mean Barbie, it means a woman who is soft, kind, nurturing, emotionally grounded, and womanly.


The most attractive women always do one thing: they SMILE! No matter what, the woman who smiles is always more attractive than the one who doesn't.




 To be with a strong woman! Just because you are feminine doesn’t mean you aren’t strong. Being strong doesn’t mean you are loud, brash, pushy, arrogant, or abrasive. It means you are independent enough to live a great life on your own, but smart enough to realize that your man makes your great life even better. Men want a strong woman who will help guide our relationship and provide structure in our life. We don’twant to feel like we’re trying to figure things out on our own.


Men love a woman who cooks for him. It’s true, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach! 


Hold your hair up with a pencil. It will fascinate guys because they don’t understand how it works.

Tips to Prevent Bad Breath


Tips to Prevent Bad Breath

 

Make Oral Hygiene a Priority Many dentists recommend brushing after every meal and flossing twice a day. Once you make this into a habit you will find it easy to stick with. Also, brushing or scraping your tongue can keep bacteria at bay, especially if you have deep groves in your tongue.

 

Chew sugarless gum. Doing so within an hour after a meal can help with saliva flow. Remember to use sugar-free gum -- chewing gum with sugar increases caries and the sugar sits on your teeth and contributes to bad breath.  Your mouth can become dry during the day.  Dry mouth -- whether it's at midnight or noon -- can quickly cause bad breath. You need plenty of saliva because it helps clean your mouth; it's naturally antibacterial, and it washes away food particles.

 

 

Avoid Tobacco, Coffee and Alcohol. Everyone, smoker or not, knows that smoking can leave an absolutely terrible stench in a person’s mouth. Many people don’t realize, however, that coffee can do the same. Coffee will leave a rank smell in the back of a person’s mouth, so switching to green tea is a great alternative. Cutting back on alcohol is also another way to decrease halitosis. Consuming alcohol will lead to a dry mouth, and as mentioned earlier, this leads to bad breath. Alcohol may actually cause a person’s breath to be unpleasant for up to ten hours after their last drink

 

Yogurt. Some studies have shown that the live active cultures in yogurt help reduce bad breath.

 

Drink Water. Drink water. You want to keep your mouth moist. Water rinses out your mouth, and it's generally good for your system. 

Change your toothbrush every 3-4 months. An old toothbrush is riddled with bacteria.  

  

Parsley. Parsley is probably one of the most well-known ways to treat bad breath. Its oils are what do the trick. Likewise, spearmint and cinnamon can help mask bad breath. Some other herbs and spices that work for the same reason are coriander or cilantro, tarragon, eucalyptus, rosemary, and cardamom.


Oranges, Melons And Berries. These fruits in particular are rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C not only is helpful for keeping bacteria in check, but also helps combat gum diseases and gingivitis, which also can cause bad breath.
