Celebrity Secrets To Staying Young
Posted on 18:06 by Unknown
Whether we idolize them or criticize their behavior, there’s no denying that celebrities now are the epitome of beauty. But how come they are often mistaken for their age- at their flattery at that. Well, let’s find out some secrets why celebrities look younger than they are.
Eating lots of citrus and vegetables
Greens and citrus like lemons, grapefruit, and oranges are high in Vitamin C, a natural antioxidant. This wonder worker serves as a primary ingredient of collagen, a glue-like protein that binds cells together to form tissues, and makes up about 25% of the whole-body protein content. Collagen production is vital to skin suppleness, firmness and averts the onset of premature wrinkling. Collagen is, in fact, a much-endorsed ingredient in facial moisturizers and hand lotions Therefore, the more citrus and veggies celebs eat, the softer their skin becomes.
Avoiding excessive alcohol
Celebrities going in and out of rehabs due to alcoholism look worn-out and spoiled. That is why a lot more celebrities keep their alcoholic intake to a minimum. Despite the sparkling delight it brings, alcohol causes skin damage and loss of moisture due to its dehydrating effects. In turn, this will cause sagging and wrinkling of skin.
A High School Musical star says its even better to soak one’s self o he beach without sun protection that drinking too much of alcohol.
Alcohol causes dilatation of the blood vessels in the skin and every time you drink, the blood vessels will dilate and stay permanently dilated until they lose their tone. Abusing alcohol will also deplete the body of Vitamin A, an important antioxidant.
Avoiding Coffee
Despite its antioxidant content, too much coffee causes skin dehydration, and even causes the body to eliminate needed liquids and minerals. It causes skin to look like crepe paper and have very little elasticity if you pinch it up into a peak. A country music diva even shared that drinking too much coffee stains her teeth and causes little winkles around her eyes to look horrible.
Celebrities who drink coffee suggest drinking a cool glass of water after a cup of coffee.
Drinking LOTS of Water
No one can dispute the role good hydration plays to a healthier skin. If hydration does not come from sodas or alcohols and only from clean water, then it has potentially helpful effects on your skin. Furthermore, water helps cells move nutrients in and toxins out, which leaves skin looking better.
Paris Hilton disclosed that she drinks more than ten glasses of water a day cause if not she notices her skin to look dull, vapid, and gray.
Limited exposure to sunlight
More exposure to sunlight puts the skin at higher risk for aging caused by free radicals. But if you cannot avoid it, use a quality high sun protection factor lotion.
A former Mickey Mouse club member uses SPF50 on her neck and face and SPF35 on her body to develop nice brownish tan where she likes.
Moisturizers
Lastly, for celebrities, using a night time moisturizer is the simplest yet one of the most necessary parts of their beauty routine. They choose a night cream with proven age-fighters like retinol.
If applied at night, this will reduce the effect of aging and the environment on your skin.

To Lose Weight, Feed Your Brains
Posted on 18:02 by Unknown
As you may know, as soon as you put yourself on a diet, you only have one thought left: to eat. Sooner or later, it will overcome you...except if you hit first.
When was the last time you focused so much on a task that you forgot to eat? You did not really forget, but you were too much interested in what you were working on to stop doing it and go to the fridge. Years ago, when your body was slim and your head swollen with projects, did you ever think that to be a grown up would not mean to be responsible and free?

You did not really forget, but you were too much interested in what you were working on to stop doing it and go to the fridge. Years ago, when your body was slim and your head swollen with projects, did you ever think that to be a grown up would not mean to be responsible and free?
Stop looking for somebody to sue: nobody shovelled food in your mouth. Stop whining about commercials that influence you: nobody tied you up in front of the telly. Stop opening your mouth and closing your mind.
You know, everybody know, that the higher the education, the lower the weight. If you point at a person you know who has a PhD and 30 extra pounds, you act exactly as those people who say that there is no correlation between smoking and lung cancer since their grand father died of old age after having smoked thousands of cigarettes. I don't write for you. Bye bye!
Now that we are between us, let's move on to the main point. How much does this portrait look like you:
- You often feel incredibly bored,
- You think that you are more worth than what you show,
- If you were given a new start, you would lead your life differently,
- You cannot help wishing something else than getting up to go to work each morning,
- In fact, it looks sometimes so vain that you'd rather stay in bed.
Do you recognize yourself? If yes, the choice is limited: either you fall in a depression, or you feed your brains. Since in order to get out of a depression, you would have to feed your brains, jump directly to the second solution!
First, recognize your qualities and make them shine in others' eyes. Modesty? You are not asked to show haughtiness but to get a sense of pride from your abilities. Would the world be better if Mozart's father had shyly hidden his son's gift? Don't let anyone mislead you: those who advocate modesty have nothing to show. Most time, they do not want you to succeed because it would be the evidence of their own failure. They brandish their righteousness against you because it is, by far, easier to damage your chances than to improve themselves. So, be honest and recognize your qualities.
Some people might advise you to devote your life to a charity cause. It is another way to prevent you from going ahead of them. Do you think that it would have been a great idea if Pasteur had chosen, out of charity, to visit the poor instead of inventing "pasteurization"?
Then, choose the domain in which you will be able to scintillate. Again, do not be humble. The satisfaction of reaching a goal is proportional to the difficulty you encounter to reach it. If you aim to learn arranging flowers, sure, you will succeed, but you will feel as bored as today and your thirst for something to fulfill your life will remain as burning as it is right now. You need to be confronted with a task exciting enough to prevent you from dropping it to go out to eat, or to take time to order a pizza. If the excitement is not rewarding enough, you are going to turn towards "the fridge consolation".

If the excitement is not rewarding enough, you are going to turn towards "the fridge consolation".
Your goal must also be rather difficult because you are going to need time to change your way of life; so, decide to master the violin, to write an anthology about Roman Poetry, to learn a foreign language or to obtain a degree in chemistry; anything requiring your intellectual faculties to fully work and that you will not be able to complete in a couple of weeks is an activity that deserves to be chosen. Of course, the better you like your goal, the greater your chance to reach it, but do not worry: usually, we are attracted by what we guess we are good at.
Not only "decide" to change, make your decision official: proudness will help you to go on the day you are tired or disheartened.
Multiply your chances to succeed by eliminating the childish desire for "telling them". If you suffer from not being estimated at your true value, make yourself known to your own eyes. The rest will come. Within three years you are going to gain higher education that will lead you to higher income while losing extra weight.
Sure, people will notice.

Extend Your Sex Time
Posted on 03:25 by Unknown
How do I last longer in bed’ is one of the most common queries we get on the site. We do not know whether the people who ask this question have a wrong perception of how long they need to last or actually have a serious problem like premature ejaculation.
Unlike what you see in porn, the average time for men during intercourse is 5-10 minutes, while the whole act from seduction to the end of actual intercourse may last around 30 minutes.
If you clock anywhere below 3 minutes, you perhaps need help. You could try some of the things listed below:
1. Eat more veggies and fruits: Yes, studies have actually shown that men who are mostly vegetarian last much longer in bed than non-vegetarians. They have more stamina due to the nutrients they get from these fruits and veggies, especially potassium.
a. Eating a banana just before sex could help improve your performance as it contains potassium. It also supplies a good amount of glucose. Read more about health benefits of bananas.
b. Drinking amla or gooseberry juice everyday could help you last longer in bed and also improve sperm quality as it has a good amount of iron and zinc.
c. Eat a handful of strawberries before intercourse. Its high zinc content and glucose concentration can help you last longer. Here are 8 rocking sex tips by porn stars.
2. Avoid processed sugar: The ‘sugar slump’ that comes after a ‘sugar rush’ could reduce your stamina.
3. Cut down on smoking: It hardens your arteries and lessens blood flow to the penis. According to men’s health Physician and Medical Sex Therapist DrVijayasarathi Ramanathan, ‘Smoking affects every system/organ of the body including sexual functioning. People need to understand that erection in men has a lot to do with a healthy heart, blood vessels. Smokers are twice as likely to get erectile dysfunction as non-smokers.’
4. Reduce alcohol intake: Alcohol has a bad effect on your senses and you are not ‘fully’ in the moment. So, exerting control is out of question, isn’t it?
5. Work on your arms and abdominal muscles: Most of the sexual positions require the man to be on his hands and feet. This means his core has to be very strong in order to last longer. So, working on biceps, triceps and abs at the gym or body-weight exercises at home can help. Exercise also improves blood flow in general including to the penis and this could also help.
6. Try Kegels or pelvic floor exercises: These exercises are mostly used for gaining better bladder control, but also help in maintaining erections for longer. Imagine you are urinating and then try to stop the flow. Repeat this – squeeze, hold, release cycle 10 times, trying to hold for 10 seconds per squeeze.
7. Try biofeedback or ‘edging’: When you are almost there (during intercourse or masturbation), stop all sexual activity. Distract yourself for a bit. This way you can gain better control and extend sex time.
8. Try the squeeze technique: When you are almost about to orgasm, squeeze just below the head of the penis. This pushes the blood back from the penis giving you more time.
9. Focus more on foreplay and your woman: Sometimes, trying to get her to orgasm first with either your fingers or your mouth could help relieve your stress and help maintain your erection longer.
10. Get enough sleep: According to a research conducted by researchers from University of Chicago, men who got less than five hours of sleep at night had lower levels of testosterone. It is important that you get 7-8 hours of sleep to boost your sexual performance.
11. Try yoga: Certain yoga asanas like the cobra pose (bhujangasana), paschimotasana can increase blood flow to the genital area and increase the time you last in bed.
Health Benefits of Pets: How a Cat Can Improve Your Wellbeing
Posted on 03:14 by Unknown
Most cat owners realize there is value in the companionship of a feline friend. However, the average pet owner may not realize that cats can actually provide significant health benefits and can make a remarkable contribution to our overall wellbeing.
Spending Time With a Cat Can Improve Your Emotional Health
Playing with a cat, petting a cat, or otherwise interacting with a cat can help relieve depression, decrease stress, and ease anxiety. The sound of a cat's purr is known to have a calming effect. These factors play a role in improving the lives of any pet owner, particularly those with a close bond with their cat. However, these benefits can play an especially significant role in the lives of people with chronic illnesses. For instance, patients with Alzheimer's disease tend to have fewer emotional outbursts if they have contact with a cat. In addition, children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are believed to benefit from contact with cats by becoming more communicative and open to engagement as well as less aggressive.
Spending Time With a Cat Can Improve Your Physical Health
Spending time with a cat has numerous effects on your physical health as well. Some of the most notable positive effects include decreased blood pressure, lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and a lower risk for heart disease and/or stroke.
Being around a cat can also ease pain by reducing anxiety. People who experience less anxiety also experience less pain. Particularly in people that suffer from chronic pain, contact with a cat can have great benefits. Many of these people require significantly lower doses of pain medications when interaction with a pet is encouraged.
Children who grow up with cats have been found to have healthier immune systems and to suffer from fewer allergies.

Cats Can Be Great Therapy Animals
Health care workers are increasingly realizing that spending time with a pet can have a positive effect on patient health. Many health facilities now welcome pets, including cats, as therapy animals and encourage their residents and patients to engage with these animals. Many hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, and long term care facilities take advantage of programs that include pets as therapy animals.
In some cases, patients recuperating in their home may also be encouraged to consider pet ownership. For instance, Promises Treatment Centers, a facility that specializes in treating addiction, recommends that their patients consider getting a pet. They also welcome pets into their rehabilitation centers and encourage their patients to bring their pets with them while being treated in their facility.

Cats are remarkable animals. They can significantly improve the lives of the humans they interact with simply by being present.
Yoga's Health Benefits
Posted on 03:11 by Unknown
The health benefits of yoga have been known for more than 5,000 years, and over 11 million Americans experience the health benefits that yoga brings. Yoga classes focus on learning physical poses or asanas and breathing techniques that connect moving from one asana to another. Yoga also introduces meditation techniques. These are designed as relaxation techniques but can be used when holding poses. You learn how to move your body in flexible ways, and there are asanas that focus on different health issues.
The don'ts of yoga
If you have a pre-existing health condition or are pregnant, you may need to consult your doctor before starting yoga. You and your doctor can judge what level of yoga is safe for you and will benefit your condition. Do not try learning yoga though a DVD or online. Work with a credentialed instructor who knows the proper way to perform poses and who can check you. Do not ever substitute yoga for medical care. There are many health benefits with yoga, but they are not substitutes for regular health care.
Steps to successful yoga
When just starting out, you need to determine your limits before you can fully investigate the health benefits of yoga. Discuss with your instructor the types of yoga you should do within your limitations. Go slow. You are not in competition with anyone in the class. Learn the basics, breathe properly, and maintain balance. Begin by warming up before you start class and staying hydrated during the entire session.
Flexibility
You are never too old to improve your flexibility, and that is what yoga can do for you. Asanas work by safely stretching muscles. Yoga releases lactic acid that causes everyday stiffness, pain and fatigue. Yoga also increases your range of motion. Your joints become more lubricated and eventually you can find balance throughout your entire body.
Strength
Ashtanga and power yoga are very vigorous and increase your strength and improve muscle tone. You can also use hatha yoga, which focuses on less movement and more alignment for strength and endurance benefits. Downward and upward dog poses and plank poses build upper body strength. Upward dog and the chair pose manufacture strength in the lower back. When poses are executed correctly, core strength that lies deep in the abdominal muscles is released.
Posture and core strength
As you increase flexibility and work on strength, you build better posture. Sitting and standing poses increase core strength and work on your abdominals. Strong abdominals prop up and preserve each pose, and a stronger core helps you to stand taller. You will also be more aware of your body. This helps you prevent slouching and slumping.
Cardio
Yoga involves building lung capacity. This improves your entire health and endurance. Yoga emphasizes deepening and lengthening your breath. This stimulates relaxation and boosts adrenaline. You will feel much more relaxed and less stressed following yoga practices. Yoga can also calm the mind chatter that underlies stress by helping you focus on your breathing rather than your stress.
As you study and practice yoga, you find that concentration and the ability to focus are increased. Moods are calmed and you feel happier and content after yoga class. Researchers have found that when the body begins to be improved depressions start to leave. Boosting oxygen levels to the brain helps with focus, stress management, and overall health.
