Weight Loss FOR Women's Health Tip #1: Lose Weight to Fight Osteoporosis

It is a well known fact that exercise and weight loss make you both look and feel better. Another bit of common knowledge is that to lose weight, control your diet, and exercise regularly gives you a healthier heart.

In addition to the previously mentioned benefits of proper diet and exercise are several other very specific health benefits of having a regular exercise and weight loss program.

One additional health benefits of exercise and weight loss activities is guarding against osteoporosis, the disease that makes the bones weak and brittle with age.

Weight-bearing activities like walking, ellyptical machine, and jogging, have been shown to strengthen the skeletal system and lower the risk of the development of this very debilitating disease.

The primary reason for this is that exercises that force the body to bear weight make the bones more dense over time as opposed to a sedentary lifestyle, in which the bones get weaker and more brittle due to a lack of force placed against them.


In women in particular, the low estrogen levels that often accomopany menopause and/or very sporadic menstruation make the problem even worse as the bones lose a lot of their mineral content and weaken accordingly.

In addition, such activities that many take part in to either lose weight or maintain an already healthy body composition have also been shown to aid in preventing further development of the disease for those who have already been diagnosed and have received clearance from their doctor.

Workingout for those of us over forty.

This is not a quick fix for any medical problems,this is what worked for me and my wife Vanessa of 22 years , not to long ago I was sixty pounds over weight , I did not liked walking past mirrors at all so I decided to loss weight and get myself into tip top shape. So me and my wife came up with a wonderful running/weight training program, which was very simple exercise for 30-40 minutes per day everyday regardless of whatever is going on stop,and drop everything and take care of yourself now!


We give ourselves a lot of leadway as far as what we do during this time for example  one day we may go bike riding next day maybe jogging,then weight training the next ,and we have great results such as looking and feeling younger, being in a much more positive frame of mind. 


I don't think a person knows how much happier they are when they love the way they look,or at least I did not realize I would much happier I'd be after losing sixty pounds, being always being told by family and friends, how much younger I look. so any way here's the perfect workout for anyone who ever had trouble losing weight.


#1 commit yourself to working out daily every day seven days per week

#2 don't be hard on yourself if you forget or just don't feel up to it ,forgive yourself

#3 start today not tomorrow today is for winners tomorrow is for losers.

#4 start easy with 30 minute walk.

#5 get workout c-d's or tapes

#6 give yourself a choice of different routines every day,repeat the same routine if you like,it's OK

#7 good luck!!

Wrinkle Natural Remedies – Relaxing your wrinkle away

It happens to everyone one fine day you get up and see you’re self in the mirror only to realize that you are getting old. Ageing is a natural process and everyone has to go through it. Wrinkles are quite common during the ageing process. Though wrinkles cannot be controlled but they can certainly be prevented. There are number of wrinkle remedies that can actually help you prevent wrinkles.

Can Anti Wrinkle Creams prevent wrinkles?
With number of anti wrinkle stuffs coming in the market it is difficult to decide which one to select. Much has been said about anti wrinkle creams as to whether they can be effective.

Anti wrinkle creams by large to a great extent can help to prevent wrinkles. They provide the moisturizing feel to your skin which makes your face glow. However the major drawback of these creams is that they produce results as long as you apply them. The moment you stop applying wrinkle creams the wrinkle pop ups.

Can facial exercise prevent wrinkles?
Facial Exercises is probably the worst possible method to actually prevent wrinkles. Facial exercises take away the elasticity from your face thus making it look duller.

How to protect skin from wrinkles when on holiday?
Sun exposure is bad for the skin. Avoid contacting your skin with the sun rays as much as possible. The sun’s penetrating ways dries off your skin thereby making it look pale.

Do tanning booths really cause wrinkles?
The risk associated with tanning booths can actually cause cancer, pre-maturing ageing and wrinkles. To prevent yourself from tanning booths you could try a self tanning product like St. Tropez Whipped Bronze Mousse.

Can regular makeup cause wrinkles?
While makeup doesn’t cause wrinkles but putting it on and taking it off can. It would be advisable to use a specialized makeup remover or a cleanser that can thoroughly remove cosmetics to prevent rubbing or pulling.

Wrinkles that fold and age

With the media shoved in our face everywhere that we go, our visual appearance has become a huge part in our every day lives. Whether it is tanning, hair coloring, plastic surgery, or "Anti-aging cream", we can see the dominance of image in our society. Everyone wants to look young, healthy, and like Brad Pitt, Right?

As a result of this pressure on image, Anti-aging creams are a heavily marketed and advertised product, promising to deliver healthier and younger looking skin, while reducing wrinkles. Most of the time these creams are targetted at women, but we are now beginning to see products that are more targeted to men as well. This shift is because are society is starting to more readily accept men being conscious about their looks and image.

There are several different forms of anti wrinkle treatment. The biggest advantage to using a ceram over another method such as plastic surgery and botox injections is the huge difference in cost. Many critics will tell you that the marketing and advertising that goes into these products is actually damaging, and is playing with the fears in women and men. Really there isn't huge proof that any of these products work well, if at all, which is another thing you will hear critics rave about.

Do wrinkles in our skin matter, and do these products really work? I would recommened asking yourself that first question, and spending some time to answer the question for yourself as every individual is different.

Write A Love Letter ON Your Body

Have you seen the movie "What the Bleep"? There is a great scene in that movie where the body-hating star breaks through to loving her body. She starts to draw hearts and love messages all over herself and relaxes into appreciation instead of loathing.

We're taught a lot of things to do to our bodies. Work it, sculpt it, starve it, push it, train it, discipline it. Most of them are not pleasant. What about loving it? What if we treated our bodies with love and tenderness?

Okay, it sounds a little sappy, I know. But really think about the idea for a moment. WHAT IF you made a decision to treat your body with the ultimate in kindness?

How would your body feel if you...
*Fed it the best, most delicious, most nutritious foods
*Gave it just the right amounts of food to feel light and full of energy
*Pampered it with fun movement
*Let it nap or rest when it was tired
*Treated it to healing massages and long soaks in warm water
*Noticed all the wonderful, beautiful things about it and overlooked its flaws

Writing love letters all over yourself is a great way to make friends with your body. It's much harder to assault your body with overeating when you know you have "I love you," hearts, spirals, "thank you," etc. written underneath your clothes.

Adopt self-nurturing as a way of life. Your body will LOVE YOU for LOVING IT. You will naturally live at your own perfect weight without effort or strain. Treat yourself well and love your body into the peak of health.
