A Lifetime of Fitness and The Dazzling Benefits of Proactol

Monday, December 31st, 2007

A lifetime of fitness is one of the dazzling benefits that can result from the use of Proactol. I believe that in order to advance yourself from one level of personal achievement to the next it takes making a series of personal decisions that enable you to move to the next level.

Taking Proactol alongside a lifetime fitness plan can easily yield noticeable results within weeks. Allow me to share these simple exercises with you. They can be done during your lunch break, or just before going out on the town.

The exercises are not demanding. Do not fret, only minimal perspiration is involved. They are designed to help you to maintain a healthy and great looking physique. Eat a healthy snack one hour before your workout.

Take a half hour daily walk. Mornings are better for me. You will have to set your best time. Purchase a comfortable pair of exercise walkers and go for a stroll around the block. Do not worry about the weather; just go. If it is impossible to go outdoors, try walking up and down a building staircase.

This is an excellent workout for your heart and your leg muscles. Set goals and slowly build gradual increases into your lifetime fitness plan. You can even alternate your cardiovascular sessions. Do the staircase one day and walk around the block on other days.

Do some simple pushups. They will work your chest area, triceps and rear deltoids. Depending on your fitness level aim for 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps. Try and gradually increase the repetitions as the pushups becomes easier.

Let us do some legwork. Spread your legs to hip length and keep them fully extended. Hold dumbbells in each hand and maintain a straight back. Slowly bend your knees until your thighs are level to the floor. Now slowly return to your original position. This puts a whole lot of strain on your legs so be careful. Do not overextend yourself.

Are you ready for some arm work? These exercises will strengthen your biceps. Sit on the edge of a secure chair with your feet placed hip width apart. Hold the weights with your palms facing inwards in front of your body. Extend your arm, and curl one dumbbell up at a time in a small arc. Rotate your forearm so that your palm faces your shoulder at the top of the movement. Do three sets of 8 to 12 reps.

Again, these are simple exercises you can do almost anytime, almost anywhere. Remember to be consistent with your exercises and your Proactol. It is your friend. Condition your mind for long term lifetime fitness results. Be patient with yourself. You did not gain your weight overnight and you will not lose it overnight.

Incorporating a lifetime of fitness alongside Proactol, is the best way to go. I am glad that you made the life changing decision to take action with exercise and Proactol. Follow this link to your breakthrough: clefinfodesigns.com/proactol lifetime fitness

Muscular Development Secrets

For balanced muscular development it is necessary that each and every part of the body be worked out. Now before I start with some of my favorite non-traditional training styles, I will state that I think one of the best ways to achieve a lean, muscular and healthy body is through a consistent weight training routine with free weights.

Some bodybuilders want to grow big muscles and be strong and muscular but are reluctant to make the effort to include the squat in their workout routine. You are working out about 75% of your entire muscular structure including your shoulders, traps, back, gluteus, hams, calf, abs and many other synergistic muscles in a single exercise, isn’t that supposed taxed your strength, endurance and your cardio health. You see, the "factor of top intensity levels" in combination with "aggressive workouts that expel pure testosterone bursts", is the key to a fantastic muscular development.

The secret to total muscular development is directly correlated with the factors of timing, exercise combinations, intensity, recuperation, muscular amplification during workloads and other sensitive parameters. This obviously calls for great commitment and high motivation but the rewards include better mass gains thanks to the greater muscular overload. They work as a tool to help you increase your potential for muscular development.

Beginner Training Tips

If everyone is an expert, confident in their own ideas and beliefs, how can the average beginner possibly know who to listen to. For a beginner, almost anything works because your body isn’t used to the stress of training, so great "beginner gains"can be made with virtually any training program.

(That’s why being a beginner is pretty cool). And this changes as you go from a beginner weight lifter, to an advanced one. In case you are a beginner bodybuilder, you must get your body conditioned to handle increased levels of stress rather that jump into the drive to achieve your goals quickly.

If you are a beginner train three times a week. Have patience that even though the road to good health is still a long way to go for a beginner like you, it’s highly commendable that you’ve made the conscious decision to actually get there.

Bodyweight Answers

Sets of five reps or more with 130 to 150 percent of bodyweight is respectable for anyone involved in weight training programs. Working out with bodyweight for sets of five or more reps is respectable for all-round conditioning. Bodyweight Workouts - For a change of pace, try adding to your routine one or two workouts a week at home with just bodyweight based exercises.

Some athletes and people on muscle building diets must eat at least 1 gram per lb of bodyweight in order to build muscle. Some hard training athletes consume up to 2 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight in order to accelerate the muscle building process. A simple, yet highly accurate formula is to multiply your bodyweight by 20.

Cosmetic Solutions For Hair Loss

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Many people suffering from hair loss prefer not to use the strong drugs and medications that currently form the best available treatment options. They may have tried a range of treatments but found they did not work or perhaps suffered unpleasant side effects. What options are left for such people, especially if they do not wish to consider surgery?

There are a number of solutions available but the final decision will be strongly influenced by the amount of thinning that needs to be covered.

1. Creative styling - this is perhaps the easiest option but its success depends on how far your hair loss has progressed. Slight balding can easily be camouflaged by careful grooming but attempts at covering large bald patches can end up looking ridiculous. One option for men with extensive thinning is to shave the head completely but this is not for everyone.

2. Hair cosmetics - this can include anything from hair thickening / volumizing products to dyes and fibers that blend with existing hair. Once again, these solutions really only work if the area of scalp to be covered is minimal.

3. Head coverings - seen by many as a last resort, wigs and hairpieces offer a further option. Once an object of derision, hairpieces have improved beyond recognition in recent years, although the price you are prepared to pay will determine the realism of the final result. Wigs come in all shapes and sizes and can be made from real or synthetic hair, but be warned the best ones are very expensive.

Doctors Aren’t Responsible

Monday, December 31st, 2007

DOCTORS AREN’T RESPONSIBLE: - How can we blame people who spend their childhood and teenage years working their butts off learning details by the proven rote method? The parents and society encourage the behavior that leads to a large number of dysfunctional patterns. They often have no time to socialize as they learn volumes of unrelated and un-integrated bits of data. Much of the data should be in hand held computers - it doesn’t help to put names to things or impress people with arcane and abstruse jargon. On the other hand the doctors who rise to the level of expert want to ensure their awesome importance continues and they are responsible. The chicken and the egg analogy or the cycle of violent abuse have the same structural roots and needs to change. Who will make these changes? How can accountability and compassion be legislated in education and all other areas of bureaucracy?

McMaster University has a good idea when they refuse to graduate a doctor no matter what his marks are, if the individual hasn’t had experience. They have a co-op program and they could benefit a lot from Patch Adams still. I highly recommend his movie and life to any doctor who doesn’t want to become part of a machine that is destroying lives. At least Dr. Mengele had a goal to improve the genetics; he wasn’t so involved in his pocketbook. Of course it is an exaggeration to hold Dr. Mengele up as an example of the medical ‘beneficent paternalism’ theory of ‘expert’ guidance. Jerry Spence has a grass roots ethics summer course for lawyers that doctors might learn from as well. Why do schools turn out anti-social elitists in the first place?

The problem was already well established in 1000 BC as the top 300 members of Milesian society operated the ‘Perpetual Sailors’ form of government where the rich got richer and fighting for increased power was commonplace. One thing can always be certain in such strife, someone loses and usually the winners’ total improvements in resources are less than what was lost by all parties to the conflict. The doctors who make money or the lawyers as modern aristocratic hopefuls are desirous of power rather than helpful and compassionate or acting as healers. Society would be better off by far if it found a way to reward those who deserve it and enable those who try. There was such a system that lasted for a lot longer than our current history of 5,000 years or what James Joyce calls a ‘nightmare’.

So You Want To Look Younger - Every Boomer’s Quest!

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

Here you are: A sensational woman living in what could be the most productive and most powerful time in your life. Your children are raised and you desire more. You bubble over with passion knowing that you have what it takes and then you look in the mirror and you are stopped, frozen, looking at a tired face that is drab and not too pretty.

All of a sudden confidence wanes and a rush of tiredness envelopes your body; this crushing blow happens frequently to men and women who are experiencing the initial onslaught of aging. Baby boomers have enjoyed maximum youthfulness; they exercise regularly, participate in spa treatments and facials, and wear trendy clothing with ease as they jet set here and there but their faces are telling their age.

Facial plastic surgery and the accompanying injections that paralyze and plump are being used at an insane level by men and women hoping to stop the tell-tale signs of aging in their faces. The drug companies and physicians have made consumers their puppets with slick advertising, air-brushed models and huge dollars invested in their campaigns to make you believe you need high cost, risky procedures to make you prettier, more handsome and prosperous.

In addition to surgery and injections, you have probably seen hand held electrical devices that promise to “give you the look of a facelift”, alleviate wrinkles and perform other wonders in just minutes a day. Television spokeswomen want you to believe that their good looks are indeed the result of using the device but do you know they frequently enjoy Botox and even surgeries? They shamelessly deceive the viewer, lulling them to purchase and purchase high dollar items while conveniently forgetting their latest visit to their plastic surgeon.

Surgery, injections and electro-stimulation devices are not quick fixes. Oh, it might seem that it’s quick – you’ll certainly look different when the bandages come off or the paralyzing injection takes effect – but you will quickly realize that there are other parts of your face that need attention. More surgery, more injections, more drugs, more risk, more outlay of cash and before you know it, your body is full of toxins and scars. Using surgery to look younger does not mean that aging has stopped. Facial muscles will continue to elongate pulling the skin down unnaturally while causing you to look distorted and older.

Pain, bruising, redness, swelling, loss of sensation are other aspects of these quick fixes. Every quick fix has a consequence; there is risk in every procedure that goes far beyond a little redness and swelling. Your body is never the same once you have allowed a procedure to be done.

What if you do not like the results of surgery? Does that mean you are willing to undergo another surgery to correct the unexpected result? That has happened to several people I know; botched eyelid surgery, lips hardened by concrete type fillers and implanted strings that create facial sagging are just a few ordinary mishaps. Multiple face lifts do harm long-term as prettiness gives way to that freakish, recognizable wind tunnel appearance.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to forego every surgical procedure, every type of injection and instead use a proven method of exercise to give yourself the look of a facelift? Does that sound too good to be true?

How would your face look if exercise lifted those tired, sagging areas like eyelids and double chins? What if exercise tightened droopy mouth corners and smoothed forehead lines? Would you feel satisfied looking ten to fifteen years younger in just weeks without spending a lot of money? Would your confidence return? Would you have more energy and passion about things that matter?

“Facial exercises may be good for mental health for the simple reason that if you look better, you feel better,” says Newton, MA psychologist Laura Hart. One reason you feel much better is that you have saved yourself money and possible anguish by taking control of your face. “Using physical exercise can create a more youthful, healthier appearance by causing the facial skin to tighten up and become more toned,” states Santa Monica physician, Mark Berman, MD.

You have exercised your body, now it is time to exercise your face using resistance and contractions, the very same movements you use to shape up your body. Facial muscle exercise results in tightened, stronger, toned facial muscles and this makes your skin look radiant, brighter and alive.

Imagine wearing a younger looking face that resembles the you ten to fifteen years ago – your face is tight and lifted. Now when you confidently look in the mirror, you see a healthier, happier and certainly younger looking face. And you did it without risk, pain or spending your children’s inheritance.

Cynthia Rowland is widely recognized as an expert in all natural facial fitness with over thirty years experience in health & beauty related fields. She has appeared on The View, NBC 4, Fit TV, HGTV and other popular shows. This author, speaker and television personality is leading the crusade to keep men and women looking vibrantly younger through natural techniques without spending their children’s inheritance.

Oops! The Top 5 Ways You’re Making YOUR Acne WORSE - and How to Stop the Cycle

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

So you keep your skin clean, eliminate excess sweets, do minimal
amounts of fatty foods, drink lots of water, work out, try “mind
over matter”, visit a voodoo priestess for a weekly “acne be
gone” ritual, yet … acne still plagues you or continues to get
worse?
But why and what can you DO about it?
There are options. First, let’s make sure you’re not sabotaging
all hope of achieving life-long blemish-free skin by committing
the following no-nos.

Are you guilty?

Acne Treatment Don’t #1: The “Squeaky Clean” Regime.

—————————————————-
Of course it’s very important to maintain clean skin, especially
when suffering from acne. But realize that even people with very
clean skin develop acne, so “dirty skin” can’t be the only cause.

In fact, OVERcleansing can lead to aggravation, redness, flaky,
peeling skin, and can even cause your skin to produce MORE oil
to compensate for the natural oils stripped away by excessive
cleansing.
TIP: The vast majority of people, with acne or otherwise,

benefit from cleansing the skin 2 to 3 times daily, tops.

Any more often and you run the serious risk of making

your acne worse!

Acne Treatment Don’t #2: Chemical Cocktail Hell.

————————————————
“Benzoyl peroxide”…
“Salicylic acid”…
“Isotretinoin (e.g.,Accutane)…

Why have we decided it necessary to ingest or slather ourselves
with harsh chemicals we can’t even pronounce?

True, these potions, lotions, pills and injections can sometimes
appear to relieve acne fast. But more often than not, they can
also cause any number of nasty side effects ranging from severely
dry, flaky skin… to liver damage… to severe depression …
and even *suicidal tendencies*.

Yikes.

As if the very thought of applying “acid” to our bodies wasn’t
scary enough, the possible side effects of some of these topical
and oral supposed “acne miracle drugs” are definitely enough to
make us reconsider!

Acne Treatment Don’t #3: Too Much Elbow Grease.

———————————————–
Yes, exfoliation in and of itself can be very important in your
battle with acne, as it helps unblock already clogged pores and
prevents the blockage of healthy ones. But by contrast,
OVERexfoliation — rough treatment, harsh scrubs and scrub
brushes, excessive rubbing, scraping, or picking, etc. –
achieves the opposite effect.

It aggravates the skin, making the problem much worse.

Not only can being overzealous with exfoliation exacerbate your
acne problem, it can also cause embarrassing, unsightly scars and
indentations which may never fully go away or heal.

So … gently, please. ;-)

Acne Treatment Don’t #4: A Failure to Act.

——————————————
Unless your acne is purely hormonal (i.e., a symptom of PMS), it
won’t just go away on its own. In fact, the longer you wait to
cure your acne, the harder it gets to do so.

It’s much easier to cure mild-to-moderate acne than it is to cure
severe acne. Although, in every case, curing it CAN still be done
when you commit to using the right methods.

Acne Treatment Don’t #5: The “Band-Aid Theory” Blunder.

——————————————————-
Keeping clean, gently exfoliated skin will not clear or prevent
your acne on its own. Many people fail to realize and accept the
INTERNAL factors which cause acne, which can range from hormones,
genetics, diet, stress, and more — root causes of the problem.

*REAL TALK*

Long-term use of over-the-counters and topicals to cure

and prevent acne is like continuing to pop pain killers

to soothe the pain of a dislocated shoulder — instead of

goin’ to get that sucker popped back into place!

Sure, the pain is lessened — maybe even completely

diminished so long as you continue your pain killer

regimen.

But because you haven’t attacked the root of the problem,

*a part of your body is still “broken”* … not to

mention the fact that you continue to pay out the wazoo

regularly to maintain your pain killer stash.

That’s no way to live.

This same concept can be applied to permanently ridding yourself
of acne. You’ll save money and will feel healthier once you FIX
that “break” in your system that’s causing your breakouts.

To permanently achieve *lasting*, blemish-free skin, you

need to fight this battle at the root, attacking as many

of the causes of your acne at once instead of relying

solely on external means of elimination and prevention.

Good luck!

What Triggers Eczema?

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

There are many people that suffer from eczema and do not really know the reason why their eczema flares- up from time to time. However, there is reason to believe that in some cases of eczema, irritants are the cause of the eczema flare- ups. There can also be other factors as well that can trigger an eczema. Some of the possible irritants and triggers of an eczema are listed below.

The most common eczema triggers are detergents and even soaps. What these aubstances do is to take the natural oil from your skin, making it more eczema ” friendly”. They dry your skin and also make it itchy, so it becomes more sensitive and these are some of the causes of the eczema flare-ups. So the best thing to do in an eczema case is to avoid soap, even bubble baths. The substitute fro this products when suffering from an eczema are emollients. Another thing that you should do is wear some rubber gloves whenever using detergents so your eczema does not flare up. Also you should rinse your clothes very well, because detergents can be irritants. However, it is believed that the detergents that we use daily do not worsen an eczema.

Another category to avoid when having an eczema are perfumes and toiletries. Many people that suffer from an eczema think that perfumes, make- up can be very irritating for the skin, thus producing an eczema flare -up. The material that clothes are made of is also very important in cases of eczema. Cotton should be worn rather than wool, if you have an eczema. However, the smoothness of the material may make the difference in eczema irritants. As long as the material is smooth, it may be just as good as cotton, thus not damaging the skin and producing an eczema flare-up. The temperature is also a deciding factor in cases of eczema. A person that suffers from eczema should avoid getting too cold or even too got, that is to avoid extreme temperatures. Humidity can also be a flare- up in cases of eczema.

Scratching your skin for many different reasons can also make your eczema worse. People may scratch for many reasons, even if they are stressed. This habit should be stopped right away if you do not want to make eczema even worse than it is. Also there are cases when food can cause allergies, which in turn make a case of eczema worse. Milk, nuts, soya and fish are some of the most common foods that can trigger symptoms of eczema in a person.

There are many ways to go about genital warts testing. The most common of them would be the simple visual examination. You must be aware that this testing method is not 100% accurate.

Another common genital warts testing method is called the colposcopic exam. This method is performed by using a speculum to part the walls of the vagina.

5 Natural Remedies For 5 Common Ailments You Can Find In Your Kitchen

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

Below are just a few of the natural remedies I have tried on my husband, three sons, friends, family and myself. They really work! Open your mind to trying the herbs and spices that God has given us in their natural form. These healing remedies cannot hurt you because they are not processed into chemicals but are natural and absolutely safe to use.

EAR INFECTION:

Next time your child has an earache blend up three tablespoons olive oil with one clove of garlic in your blender until smooth. Have your child lie down with the hurt ear face up. With a cue tip or a bulb syringe put two or three drops into the ear, letting it drip down into the canal. Have a wet washcloth handy incase any of it drips down onto your child’s neck.

Make sure your child stays lying down while the oil and garlic mixture drains down into the ear canal completely, about a half hour or so. After about five or ten minutes your child will tell you that it tickles inside their ear that means it is working. Do this remedy three times a day or when your child complains of pain. The oil cleans out the earwax and the garlic heals the infection.

No more earache, no more doctors! You can now cure the common earache your self! Amazing, isn’t it?

TOOTHACHE:

Have a toothache? This solution is only temporary to ease the excruciating pain of a toothache. I know how painful a toothache can be and I ran across this old kitchen remedy years ago when it was too late to rush to the dentist.

Blend up about two tablespoons whole cloves in the blender until blended into powder form. Mix this with 1-tablespoon olive oil to make a paste. With your finger, dab directly on the infective tooth and gum area, wait 5 minutes. You will be so relieved you tried this natural remedy. Absolutely unbelievable that it really works! The properties in the clove actually numb your gums!

STOMACH VIRUS:

This remedy only works if you do it BEFORE you start to feel sick. If there is a stomach virus going around the school or in your home and you’re thinking that you might be next to get this awful virus, eat a bunch of raw garlic. Yeah, that’s right. Most people think I’m crazy when I tell them to do this but I know it works. I do it myself every time I know there is a stomach virus going around.

Eat two good sized or three small cloves of garlic every four hours and you will not get the stomach virus. Do this as long as someone is sick around you. This will only work by eating the real garlic. Taking the pill form will not work! You might smell like garlic for while but this all natural and safe remedy will also ward off any vampires coming to your home. Your spouse might not kiss you for the day either. But it sure beats getting terribly ill to your stomach for 24 or 48 hours! Garlic to your health!

ACID REFLUX:

This method is an absolute miracle cure! You will love its properties. Do you have acid in your stomach after eating? Throw away the Tums and Rolaids because they just make your acid worse in the long run. Try this. Mix 1-tablespoon powdered ginger with warm water in an 8 ounce coffee cup. Sip it down slowly. You will see that this remedy works instantly.

I call this the ginger tea remedy for acid reflux. Ginger is a safe and natural spice that can’t harm your system like those other antacids can. You will be astonished that this really works! You can also buy the whole ginger root and blend the root into a powder to get the same results. You will be flabbergasted that ginger can get rid of your acid. It’s safe, cheap and miraculous!

CONSTIPATION:

Senna Leaf Herbal Tea is so much better for you than those other over the counter medications. Senna leaf is an all-natural herb and it taste good too. I was absolutely amazed when this worked so well. Brew it like any other tea by steeping in hot water for 5 minutes. You can add honey or lemon to the tea if you like.

There are several different brands you can buy that have Senna Leaf Herb in it. I have always used “Smooth Move” available from Wal-Mart or even your local grocery store. No matter what brand you decide to use, read the ingredients and make sure that Senna Leaf is the active ingredient. You will be relieved that you decided to try a more natural approach. You’ll love this tea.

Can you continue to have flat abs as you age?

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

Pick up practically any fashion, men’s or fitness on the newsstands and there is sure to be an article on ways to get abs of steal. Why do some of us have flatter and more defined abs then others, and what are some ways to achieve this goal? These are a few questions that come up when the subject of abs is addressed.

Genetics, diet and physical activity have a lot to do in determining if a person is prone to having flat abs or not, but that’s not the only answer. Another factor to keep in mind is pregnancy. Many women loose their flat and smooth stomachs after giving birth.

So if you were not lucky enough to be born with a set of killer abs, what are some of the other ways you can go about achieving the perfect washboard stomach?

You’ll obviously need to mind what you eat. You’ll have to get active and do cardio exercises that will burn a lot of calories.

So what are some ways to achieve a flatter stomach?

Despite a persons good eating habits exercise is absolutely essential in getting the desired results. Good stomach flattening exercises will also combat the factors such as childbirth and heredity.

There is a variety of stomach flattening exercise available for you to choose from. All you have to do is type in a few search words in Google and you’ll land on several thousand pages of exercises all dedicated to help you achieve flatter abs. It is good to keep in mind that there is a difference between building good abdominal muscles and flattening the stomach, even though they are very similar. You also have to set a goal for yourself to strive towards. Stomach flattening exercises will generally include moves in which you concentrates on sucking in your stomach and contract your core, trying to “hollow it out” as they perform each movement. If the exercise is intended to build muscle but not necessarily flatten the stomach, the exercise will not stress this point…you should choose your abdominal exercises with great care. That said, most abdominal exercises will build muscle in the stomach, it is just a matter of what your primary goal is as they exercise and decide which exercises to do.

A flatter stomach can mean more confidence, better health and more overall strength. It is a reasonable goal to want to have a flat stomach, and is not unobtainable unless there is a specific medical reason for not being able to do stomach flattening exercises. Besides knowing which exercise will bring about the desired results, you just need the determination to follow through. Remember that a flatter stomach will not come overnight, it takes time, energy and commitment…but the results are worth it. A physically fit body as you age is one of the best age busters there are!

In some cases, abdominal exercises are simply not sufficient. In recent years, many women have resorted to plastic surgery in an effort to recover their pre-baby stomach.
