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.

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.

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.

Secrets tips to dieting success

 

DRINK 6 - 10 GLASSES OF WATER EACH DAY

 

To start with,  First thing in the morning before you 

eat you should drink a glass of water, this will get 

the metabolism  jump started. This is probably the 

easiest glass you will drink all day and it will help 

you  remember to drink water all day long.

 

 

MUST EAT BREAKFAST 

 

Do not skip breakfast, for breakfast is the 

cornerstone to any success in a eating 

nutritiously. It is the foundation for a

successful diet. If you need to go to bed a 

little earlier so that you can get up 20 

minutes earlier each morning do it! Breakfast

is so important to your good health and to 

weight control.

 

 

AVOID WHITE TYPES OF FOODS

 

This is one easy way to remember what not 

to eat. If it is made from sugar, flour, potatoes, rice 

or corn-just say no. Remembering this rule of thumb

will make it easier torecognize those rice cakes as an  

unhealthy high-carb snack. Basically all white types of 

carbohydrates are refined and therefore 

when in your digestive system get converted 

tosugar/energy. Which if not used gets 

converted to bodyfat.

 

 

MUST EAT YOUR VEGGIES

 

It is so easy to use a low-carb diet as an 

excuse for poor nutrition. Resist this 

temptation. If the only vegetable you

have eaten in the last 5 years has been 

the potato, now is a perfect time to 

begin experimenting with other 

vegetables. This is important for your 

overall health and to avoid some

nasty side effects of not getting

enough fiber in your diet. 

 

If you do a thorough search of vegetables,

It's guaranteed that you will find 

vegetables that you enjoy eating.

Experiment with grilling veggies and 

cooking with real butter to add flavor. 

You can also search for new recipes on 

the Internet or in cookbooks. 

 

Remember, if you are only eating 40 

grams of carb a day or less, two cups of 

plain salad greens contain only about 

5 grams of carbohydrate. You have no 

excuse not to eat your veggies. 

 

 

 

EAT A FORM OF PROTEIN AT EACH

MEAL & AS A SNACK

 

Protein....The most important nutrient of all:

your body is made of cells that are 

formed from proteins and amino acids. 

You should choose a portion of lean 

protein such as chicken breast, ground 

turkey, egg whites, fish or lean steak. 

Protein should be eaten with 

every main meal or spread out

even with every five to six meals. 

Protein helps build lean muscle, 

repair tissue, hair, skin, and nails.

A good protein source is a 100% 

whey protein powder that supplies 

good amino acids and excellent 

source of calcium for the bones.

 

 

DRINK A GLASS OF WATER 

AFTER EACH SNACK

 

 

Developing this little habit is 

a real secret when it comes to

dieting success which few 

people follow but has a 

massive result 

on your diet. It will help you 

get in your 8 to 10 glasses of 

water each day but it can also 

have other benefits. Ever feel 

hungry after eating a handful 

or standard serving of nuts? 

Try drinking water afterwards. 

The water will help you feel 

full and prevent overindulgence.

Drinking water after a snack 

will also help remove the  

aftertaste from your mouth 

and can help curb your 

desire for more. Follow this 

little tip and develop it into a 

habit then before you know it 

you will be where you want 

to be and at the weight 

you want to be.

 

 

 

 

 

CHEW SLOWLY & ENJOY YOUR FOOD 

 

Guaranteed if you follow this little secret, You 

will feel full and more satisfied if you take the 

time to savor your food and chew it slower. 

Don’t get in the habit of eating while

standing or eating quickly. Sit down preferably at the table

and chew. 

 

Eating slower like this will help you enjoy your 

food more, pay attention to what it is you are 

actually eating and get a better sense of when 

you are actually full.

 

 

EAT YOUR LARGER MEALS EARLY

IN THE DAY AND SMALLER MEALS

LATER 

 

You will feel better and lose weight 

quicker if you eat a large breakfast and 

eat a smaller dinner. Also as you have 

been asleep for hours your body has 

been fasting and earlier in the day is the 

best time to refuel and provide your 

body with the energy that is needed. 

 

You may also want to eat the majority of 

your carbs earlier in the day, saving a 

salad and lean meat protein for dinner. 

 

Eating larger meals during the part of 

the day when you are most active will 

help you to feel satisfied throughout the 

day and curb cravings for unhealthy 

snacks.

 

 

CONSIDER EATING SALMON OR

TUNA FOR BREAKFAST

 

Yes this may seem odd, but it is one 

way to work in Omega-3 fatty acids 

that are good for you and add some 

variety to your daily diet. After a few 

months you may tire of eating

eggs and bacon for breakfast. 

Substituting fish will give you

the protein and healthy fish oils you 

need. You can try canned salmon or 

tuna in croquettes for a healthier 

sausage substitute. Or you could 

simply eat cold leftover salmon the 

next morning with dill sauce. 

 

USE LETTUCE LEAVES INSTEAD OF

BREAD

 

This tip can seem a bit odd at 

first but if you try it you will

probably grow to love it. Instead 

of eating breads and buns

with your sandwiches and 

hamburgers, why not try leaves 

of lettuce? 

You can make a double cheese

burger with onions, pickles and 

tomato wrapped in a whole 

lettuce leaf. Or you can make tasty 

wrap sandwiches with lettuce 

instead of tortilla and bread.This

will help increase your good 

carb and fiber intake while

giving you more variety in your 

diet. 

 

 

EAT FRUIT FOR DESSERT

 

Okay, we all want a little dessert 

sometime, but how do you have your 

dessert and your low-carb diet too? Why

not try cheese with fruit slices or berries? 

Better yet, why not try cream with berries? 

You could even try sweet pineapples or  

strawberries with cottage cheese? 

 

Berries are sweet and high in fiber and 

nutrients and dairy products are high in 

protein. If your low-carb plan will allow

it, this is a sweet and tasty alternative to 

more sugary desserts. 

 

An added benefit is that the protein in the dairy products and the fiber in the fresh fruit will make these desserts more filling.

 

 

 

AT THE GROCERY STORE–SHOP

THE OUTER AISLES

 

It will be easier to stick with your 

low-carb lifestyle if you learn the 

one common thread in all grocery 

store designs: the healthy foods are on 

the perimeter aisles.

 

Think about it, when you go into the

grocery all of the healthy stuff, fruits,

vegetables, meats, and dairy 

products are arranged around the 

stores walls. You only rarely need

to enter the center aisle areas in 

those few stores that stock butter 

and cheese in the center near the 

frozen foods. For the most part all 

of the foods that you need for your 

low carb diet can be found on the 

perimeter of the grocery store. 

 

Train yourself to start on one end of

the outer aisle and work 

your way around. It will be much 

easier to avoid carb cravings and 

fill your basket with healthy items if 

you do so.

 

 

 

TAKE A GOOD MULTIVITAMIN

 

We can’t all do it right all of the

time. Even the most 

conscientious food combiner 

may miss some healthy

vitamins, minerals and trace 

elements in their diets. To help 

make sure you get everything 

that you need, consider taking

a good multivitamin.

 

Check with your doctor first for 

recommendations and you

should be tested for anemia to 

see if you need a vitamin

with iron. However, the longer 

you eat low-carb and the

more red meat you eat, the 

less anemia will be a problem

and you should be able to take

vitamins with less iron. 

 

Your success is totally up to 

you. Assuming that you are an

otherwise healthy individual, 

your body will do its part. Just

remember to adhere to the low

-carb diet plan that is right

for you and add some variety 

to your meals to help you stay

faithful to your health and 

weight loss goals.
