A Healthy Skin at Every Age

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Torn) — Sun, 01 Sep 2013 02:10:00 +0000

You Probably Know that Stress, smoking, bad eating habits all this factors may damage your skin earlier than you imagine, the skin can reveal the stories of your life, from the fabled glow of pregnancy to the less-welcome spots that surface from sun damage.

you hear a lot about how to protect your skin from the sun’s rays, but there are many other simple health moves that can keep your exterior in fabulous shape, decade after decade.

Fight Acne Bumps:

Hormone-related skin problems aren’t just for teens. Surging progesterone and testosterone levels before your period can cause adult acne to erupt around the mouth, chin, and nose. And hormonal stress can exacerbate eczema—dry, irritated skin, often on the face and hands.

To treat adult acne, which tends to flare up in the 30s and is more inflammatory than teen blackheads and whiteheads, derms often prescribe benzoyl peroxide and retinol or Retin-A, Soothe eczema by using gentle, fragrance-free cleansers; if the problem persists, you may need a prescription for a topical corticosteroid.

Baby your skin:

Your skin may be clearer than ever while you’re pregnant, thanks to abundant estrogen. But the hormonal flux of pregnancy can create a host of skin issues, such as melasma, which should fade after delivery.

If it bothers you, your doc may prescribe a cream with lightening agents to fade the spots. Also common: an itchy rash called PUPPP (pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy), which may show up in the third trimester. If cool baths and moisturizers don’t relive itching, you may need a steroid cream or oral antihistamine.

Check yourself:

In middle age, damage done to your skin decades earlier starts to show up.
This can include the first signs of skin cancer.

The good news: when caught early, it’s 99 percent treatable. So monthly self-checks for moles or anything suspect are smart. “In front of a mirror, examine your entire body, from your scalp (use a handheld mirror) to the soles of your feet,” advises Jennifer Linder, MD, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the University of California, San Francisco.

Banish problem spots

It’s not uncommon for 40-something women to develop actinic keratosis—dry, red, flaky spots, often on the forehead, cheeks, or nose, Dr. Goldenberg says. Another result of sun damage, they can become cancerous if not removed, so see your doc ASAP if you think you may have one.

Two other common (and often similar-looking) problem spots: seborrheic keratosis (warty, yellow-brown growths, usually on the back and chest) and skin tags (often on the eyelids, underarms, neck, or groin).
These two may look unpleasant, but they’re benign and can also be removed in the doctor’s office.

Erase redness

If you’re plagued by redness, spider-like blood vessels, and small bumps on your face, your derm may diagnose rosacea, a common skin condition often triggered by sun exposure, stress, alcohol, spicy foods, and hot weather.

Skin Experts recommend sensitive-skin products if you’re prone to flare-ups, green-tinted makeup to camouflage redness, and over-the-counter antiredness serums with caffeine, such as First Aid Beauty Anti-Redness Serum.

Use the right products

Consider a prescription for a retinoid like tretinoin to minimize signs of aging such as uneven skin tone, wrinkles, and age spots, says Bobby Buka, MD, a New York City dermatologist. Dr. Buka also suggests skin-care products with botanicals such as feverfew or licorice root: “They have antioxidant activity to combat UV damage."

Love your legs

Roughly half of all women over 50 have a few varicose or spider veins (enlarged blood vessels visible on the skin), usually on the legs.
Gravity, aging, and genetics all play a role, but women who are on their feet a lot are at greater risk. Fixes include sclerotherapy (sealing off the veins) and laser treatments.

Varicose or spider veins very rarely indicate a circulatory problem, but if one becomes swollen, warm, red, or tender, or if a rash or sore develops near it, see a doctor to rule out a dangerous blood clot. To help keep spider and varicose veins at bay, avoid sitting with legs crossed for long periods of time, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy weight.

Quench the thirst

As your estrogen level drops and oil production decreases, skin can get thinner, drier, and often itchier.
Bathing too often, with water that’s too hot, or with harsh or excess soap, can make things worse. Hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid gland), which becomes more common over age 50, can also cause overly dry, itchy skin, so see your doc to rule it out if you have other common symptoms such as fatigue, depression, unexplained weight gain, or muscle aches.

Gut Bacteria Diversity Linked With Weight

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Torn) — Fri, 30 Aug 2013 06:01:00 +0000

According to a new study: Gut Bacteria Diversity Linked With Weight, Study Suggests The number of bacteria in your gut as well as the diversity of said bacteria could be tied to your weight.

A team of researchers found that people who are obese have fewer and less diverse gut bacteria than their leaner counterparts.

"We also see that if you belong to the group with less intestinal bacteria and have already developed obesity, you will also gain more weight over a number of years," study researcher Oluf Pederson, professor and scientific director at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, said in a statement.
"We don't know what came first, the chicken or the egg, but one thing is certain: it is a vicious circle that poses a health threat."

Researchers noted that the gut bacteria makeup of people who are obese may be provoking mild inflammation, which could thereby raise the risk of chronic health conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
(And of course, other research has suggested that some gut bacteria can actually turn a nutrient found in egg yolks and meat into a compound called TMAO, which clogs arteries and raises heart risks.)

"Even lean people who are poor in bacterial species have a higher risk of developing these pathologies," study researcher S. Dusko Ehrlich, of the INRA Research in France, told NPR.

The Nature study is based on genetic mapping of intestinal bacteria from 292 Danes, and also showed that about one in four people has 40 percent less gut bacteria than average, as well as a lower-than-average diversity of bacteria.

The study is the work of the MetaHIT team, which included scientists from elsewhere in Europe and China.

Top Foods For Eyesight

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Torn) — Thu, 29 Aug 2013 01:07:00 +0000

Apricots

Apricots are a good source of beta carotene and lycopene, both carotenoids that can help promote good vision.

Indeed, the Macular Degeneration Association explains that the body converts beta carotene into vitamin A, which resists damage
to cells and tissues, including the eye lens.

Continued oxidative stress may result in the development of cataracts or damage the blood supply to the eyes and lead to macular degeneration.

Kale, Spinach And Collards

Lutein and zeaxanthin are antioxidants that protect and maintain healthy cells and they are abundant in these dark, leafy greens, Caplan explains.

The American Optometric Association, which has reportedly said they act like "internal sunglasses" that can "filter harmful blue waves."

Benifits:

Green Tea Caffeine

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Torn) — Wed, 28 Aug 2013 01:50:00 +0000

Green Tea

Named Tea caffeine, the caffeine in tea is from 2.5 to 5% of a tea leaf.

It acts mainly on the central and cardiovascular as stimulating the nervous system.

Traverse the most common issues around this molecule.

Black tea contains it less caffeine than Green Tea?

A Green Tea is not necessarily less caffeinated than Black Tea. The oxidation slightly decreases the final caffeine content of leaves.

What are the poorest tea caffeine?

Caffeine, as all the components of a plant, is concentrated in the bud.
Thus, a rich buds tea from a fine or imperial collection will contain more caffeine than tea consists mainly of large leaves.

For the same type of tea, it is difficult to prioritize the caffeine content.
The period and the year of harvest, the original tea plants altitude, method of manufacture will play on its composition.

More tea is brewed, the more it will most caffeine?

Indeed, the infusion will be more longer and more caffeine is extracted from the leaf.
However, the content of tannins and theanine also increase.

Tannins bind to caffeine and prevent it from being released too quickly into the bloodstream while theanine has a relaxing effect.A quick infusion allows it to tea decaffeinated?
No, because caffeine does not diffuse instantly within seconds. According to some studies, only 9% of the caffeine is removed after 30 seconds, 50% within 3-4 minutes and 100% after 15 minutes.
Should therefore take the first infusion of tea after 3-4 minutes to remove a first half of caffeine.

It is therefore wrong to think that all the caffeine is released from the first seconds and that infusing quickly (30 seconds) tea, we have decaf.

Tea contain less Caffeine than Coffe ?

Coffe Contain more Caffeine than Tea, 7 to 10 times.
While 100ml of black tea contains 20mg of caffeine, 100ml coffee contain about 150mg.

Green Tea fat burner

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Torn) — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 01:00:00 +0000

Green Tea

Green tea is known for its diuretic and slimming action.the caffeine it contains increases basal metabolism, and as a result the body starts burning calories.
the combination of caffeine and green tea catechins that would increase energy expenditure.
Among the various catechins is epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which would cause.

It is also the molecule that is being studied for its anticancer potential.

Burn calories:

Most studies have focused on the ability of green tea to increase energy expenditure showed positive effects.

In the first study, green tea extracts - containing EGCG and caffeine - administered in capsule form, increased fat oxidation and energy expenditure of 78 kcal in 24 hours.

A subsequent study showed that the same dose caused a more marked effect on energy expenditure, an increase of 179 kcal in 24 hours. In other words, it means burning the equivalent of about one to three apples a day.

Green Tea Bottle:

The bottled green tea offered by different companies gaining more and more popularity. It may be refreshing, as manufacturers proclaim. However, more often contain a significant amount of sugar, it is not necessarily a good source of EGCG.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has calculated that the green tea bottle contained about 20 times less than the EGCG brewed green tea.Do we lose weight really ?If green tea increases energy expenditure, allowing it to lose weight and keep it off?

That's what we really want to know! An observational study showed that people drinking green tea for more than ten years have accumulated less body fat and a tour of smaller size.

The effect is proportional to the number of years smoked. In clinical studies, the picture is less clear, however.
Indeed, studies have observed a resulting loss of weight green tea consumption had for the most significant methodological shortcomings, particularly with regard to the sample size.

The more rigorous research on the technical side for their part have shown that green tea extracts do not oscillate the needle of the scale.

Regarding the maintenance of weight lost following a low calorie diet, the results are mixed. Indeed, one study found that green tea extracts would have no effect, while another study, they would give a boost, but only in people who do not consume caffeine in normal times.

According to a meta-analysis including 15 studies, and green tea which was sometimes combined with caffeine, the results show that the combination of caffeine and green tea can modestly reduce body weight and waist circumference.

However, green tea unaccompanied caffeine showed no beneficial effect. Whether therefore weight loss or maintenance, it is premature to conclude anything.Extracts of green tea!
It is important to emphasize that the studies to date have been made from purified green tea extract capsule set.
It is therefore impossible for the moment to comment on the effect of liquid green tea. In addition, the concentration of EGCG varies considerably from one type of tea in the other, it is more difficult to extrapolate.

Replace sugary drinks with Green Tea

If you replace the juice, soft drinks and other caloric beverages with green tea, which contains a significant number of calories, it will help you lose weight. However, as to whether the mere fact of drinking green tea makes a difference on the scale, it is too early to tell.

Notices
Since May 9, 2007, Health Canada approved, on the basis of two scientific articles (# 9 and 11), the use of green tea extracts as adjunctive therapy in a weight control program associated a healthy diet and regular physical activity.
For a trader displays the allegation concerning the regulation of weight, green tea extract must contain éuqivalent 136 to 300 mg of epigallocatechin-3-gallate and 75 to 150 mg of caffeine per day. The extract should be taken with food.

Hair Protection Against Heat

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Torn) — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 02:27:00 +0000

Heat Damage Hair

Hair do not like to be abused by too much handling both
mechanical (combing, groping ...), chemical (coloring, straightening, permanent ...) and even less heat (blow drying, straightening plates, curling iron).

For the latter, it is imperative to protect the fiber before exposure to temperatures that can damage depth.

Cosmetics market or vegetable oil:
what to choose, what are the effective ingredients against thermal hair damage?

First, take a closer damage caused by heat on the hair:

1- The hair dryer produces a "flash drying" by removing not only its natural moisturizing film that covers its surface (the hydro-lipid film) but also its internal water ("water of hydration", combined with the keratin molecules) .

Consequence: the cuticle (the outer shell of the hair) becomes dry, stiff and brittle.
When the hair is down, the pressure causes cracking of the cuticle.

=> A study showed that cracking occurs not only on the first layer constituting the cuticle scales but also deeper (2 or 3 layers below). Comb the hair with cuticle damage this level presents a serious risk of breakage.

2- From his side hair straightening with plates generates two different types of damage as it is done on wet or dry hair:

The hob to dry hair can cause a radial or axial cracking along the edges of the cuticles, which can lead to their case.

On wet hair, the heat can lead to internal water to boil and burst into small steam explosions. The cuticle starts to curl (bubbles) and break under the pressure, which is materialized by the appearance of cases of small hair.

If coated curling iron or straightening plates are made of metal, it is even worse.
Unlike ceramics, metal conducts heat directly without dosing, which cooked the hair and alter the pigment.
So invest in a thermal instrument made of 100% ceramic that distributes heat.

According to a scientific experiment (based on the strand, also made of keratin) a temperature between 215 and 235 ° C inflict irreversible damage to hair keratin.

So be sure not to push the thermostat from your device to the limit!

Attention also to the use of products containing alcohol, which could produce an inflammatory effect!

Ingredients to fight against heat effects?

Damage in Connection with hair dryer can be limited by using products containing glycerin or propylene glycol, two humectants that delay the evaporation of the water.

Another ingredient called "hydrolyzed wheat protein polysiloxane copolymer" gives good results in terms of reducing the cracking of the cuticle.

Note that according to the study pre-mentioned, it appears that various silicones do not get the same effect.

Used alone, they do not reduce the damage of the cuticle.

However, note that the heavier weight silicones such as phenyl trimethicone, dimethicone and amine-functional with a very low thermal conductivity would therefore act as good insulators hair against heat.

They also prevent the water inside the hair to evaporate (sealing effect).

The following silicones are also cited as being able to isolate the hair from heat to some extent: Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, Amodimethicon and Cyclomethicone (Journal of Cosmetic Science, pg 245-256 1998).

Damage from hot plates can be limited by using conditioners formulated with small molecules capable of light to penetrate the cuticle as cetrimonium chloride.
Another study showed that the presence of this type of component conditioner would increase the tension force (the force required to break a hair).

That is why the heat reacts with the conditioning agent crossing links certain protein chains within the hair
.
The leave-in or styling products containing a cationic conditioner as Quaternium 70 (stearamidopropyldimethyl Ammonium Chloride) or a polymer such as P / DMAPA Acrylates Copolymer also demonstrated in studies good protection against damage from heating devices.

Note that these components (silicones, polymers and quats) are often harmful to the environment and chemicals that can eventually rise, tarnish or pitching your hair.

In case of frequent use, they require a clarifying shampoo (thus drying detergent).

The best way is to avoid this rather heat stress!

Attention to water-based products:

According to experiments conducted by researchers in chemistry from the University of Manchester , damage, including structural, observed on hair waterlogged (due to the use of a water-based spray) were much higher than those observed on the hair impregnated with a product that does not contain.
Thus the researchers conclude that the thermo-protective products would be more effective if the water was removed and advocate the use of volatile ingredients, such as ethanol as solvent (but beware because if the alcohol helps to dry hair, it can also dry out by dissolving the natural oils of the hair).

Watch therefore, as much as possible that your heat protectant does not include water in its formulation.

To this day, I do not know if such a product exists (in fact the presence of a humectant that require water to obtain an emulsion, see: comment below a "Julian" drive of 30 / 06/2013 at 4.30)!

Method of application:

Also be sure to apply and properly distribute your heat protector on your hair:

- Keep a safe distance between your hair and spray: usually 7 to 11 Inch guarantee a uniform cloud that protects the hair without weighing it down or make it sticky.

Follow the instructions on the product label to determine the ideal distance.

- Once the protection against the heat applied, gently comb your hair with a large comb to better spread the product.

Can you use vegetable oil as a heat protector?

In thermal protection, an important criteria to consider is the level of heat tolerance. In the case of oil, it is his point of smoke (smoke point). On the other hand, you should take into account how the product lubricates the hair. The use of oil as a heat shield requires caution because the only oils can create bumps on the hair that slow the passage of the heating plate, which can ultimately lead to even MORE damage!

A good heat shield must also compensate for the drying effects of heat. The right combination is therefore based on glycerin (or another humectant) to retain water inside the hair and a small, lightweight polymer molecule that can penetrate the hair cuticle and prevent it from cracking.

Among the oils that resist heat better, it can refer to a list of the smoke points. This list indicates that grape seed oil goes up to 458F while oil cathame climbs to 510F and avocado oil reaches 520F.

Wikipedia gives slightly different values: Cottonseed oil and olive oil are the same as the seed oil because while almond oil, nuts and sunflower and Coconuts are higher.
Prefer oils which have the highest smoke point.

Lack of Sleep Leads to weight gain?

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Torn) — Sun, 11 Aug 2013 01:47:00 +0000

Sleep deprivation Causes metabolism slowdown "metabolism" making the body consumes less energy, and helps to increase the weight not only through increased hunger but also because of the slow rate of burning calories also makes the day seem long, according to published American Journal of clinical Nutrition.

The leader of the study from the University of Uppsala in Sweden, Christian Benedict, said "the research indicates that Neil Much of sleep might prevent weight gain".

He added, "Our results show that sleep deprivation for one night and severely reduces energy consumption , which means that sleep contributes to the strong regulation of energy consumption during the day in humans."

They found that even a sleepless night slows metabolism the next morning, and reduce energy consumption in functions such as breathing and digestion by 5 to 20% compared to the morning followed by a good night's sleep.

They found that even a sleepless night slows metabolism the next morning, and reduce energy consumption in functions such as breathing and digestion by 5 to 20% compared to the morning followed by a good night's sleep.

Also identified an increase in levels of blood sugar among students during the morning as well as the regulation of appetizers as Jerilin hormones and stress hormones such as cortisol after sleep disorders.

The Lack of sleep can disrupt brain function, including our sense of satiety, according to a scientific study.

Lack of sleep can cause changes in brain activity, leading to eat more, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications.

Previous studies have found a correlation between reduced sleep duration and the rapid increase of obesity in industrialized countries, but scientists have so far been unable to explain why.

Using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) equipment, a team from the University of California studied the brains of 23 people deprived of sleep.

The brain activity of these people was examined twice, after a full night's sleep after a night during which they were unable to close the eye. Of persons deprived of sleep disturbances were observed in regions of the cortex assessing satiety, while on the contrary the irresistible desires associated with areas were strongly stimulated.

"We made another interesting discovery is that the most caloric foods were particularly sought after by people deprived of sleep," said Matthew Walker, a co-author of the study.

"All these findings may potentially explain the link between lack of sleep, weight gain and obesity," he said in an interview by e-mail, before concluding that sufficient sleep "could better weight control through brain mechanisms governing proper "food choices.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than one third of adults over twenty years in the world are overweight and 11% obese in 2008.

The number of overweight people has doubled since 1980, reaching 1.4 billion adults in 2008.

However, nothing prevents you to practice at home some eye exercises gym to enjoy the benefits of this method.

The causes of eyestrain

The causes of eyestrain are generally related to the visual fixed distance work.

This disorder therefore particularly affects computer and all the people working on screen, graphic designers and illustrators but also immersed in books students ...

Remuscler its binocular vision

To ease eye strain, it is necessary in most cases rehabilitate convergence, that is to say the mechanism in the brain that converges the eyes for binocular vision.

This convergence mechanism that we use every day for near vision and reading in particular, tends to be difficult when you feel the eyestrain.

The ocular gymnastics is then a good way to remuscler vision and make his eyes a good range of convergence.

Some eye exercises gym:

Here are two exercises eye gym inspired Yoga:
1) Sit comfortably seated on a chair or cross-legged.

Extend your index finger in front of your face up to your eyes and fix the gaze.
As you exhale, bring your index the most out of your nose, still fix it.

As you inhale, slowly move it away as far as your arm allows you, and hold your gaze.

Continue this exercise to the beat of your breath taking care not to release your attention.Finally, close your eyes for a few moments.

Macrobiotic Diet

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Torn) — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 04:40:00 +0000

The Macrobiotic Diet: A Practical GuideFollowing Hippocratic maxim "Your food be your medicine", the macrobiotic diet is designed to promote health and longevity.
This method, as George Ohsawa was developed on the basis of the diet of Zen monks, however, carries the risk of deficiencies.
We invite you to discover the principles and dangers of the macrobiotic diet.

What is the macrobiotic diet?

The macrobiotic diet is a diet and more broadly a philosophy of life created by George Ohsawa (1893-1966).

This Japanese teacher asked the main principles of the macrobiotic diet drawing on the work of Dr. Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland and diet of Zen monks.

As its not shown, macrobiotics (from the Greek "macro" big and "bios" life) is to promote a healthy life rather strict life.

What are the principles of the macrobiotic diet?

The macrobiotic diet is based on an energy food design.

George Ohsawa ranks foods into two major groups: food trend yin and yang foods trend.

Foods are classified yin or yang in a complex system.

In general, fruits, beverages and foods green, blue or purple, sweetness or acid are "yin".

Meat and animal products, spices, grains and vegetables yellow, orange or red, like carrots are "yang".

The macrobiotic diet is to strike a balance between yin and yang.

Cereals, considered the most balanced food, form the basis of this system and represent at least half of the daily ration.

Fruits and vegetables are the rest of the ration, meat and animal products are generally excluded in the strictest form of the scheme.

What are the dangers of the macrobiotic diet?

Suddenly adopt a macrobiotic diet can lead to digestive disorders (diarrhea, flatulence) due to its high fiber (found in whole grains, fruits and vegetables).

The macrobiotic diet is a very restrictive diet, which is both difficult to follow and source of deficiencies.

It may in particular cause iron deficiency and vitamin B12 and cause stunted growth in children.

It also leads to a deficit of some important elements for the development of the fetus.

That is why this regime is against-indicated in children, adolescents, pregnant women and lactating mothers.

Madonna Diet

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Torn) — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 04:23:00 +0000

Madonna is the perfect emblem of the fiftieth sport that does not have a single hair grease.

And for that, she trusted the yin and yang of food!

Thus, she is careful not to eat too much yin food such as raw vegetables, tropical fruits or very yang foods such as meat, poultry or coffee.

It therefore finds its balance with whole grains, vegetables, white fish and algae.

Why It Works When you see Madonna in concert, it is impossible to deny the success of his regime.

At the same time, when we know that when it cracks it is not a piece of chocolate, but rather on sunflower seeds or pumpkin, we say that the system would work with everyone.

By depriving the more vitamins and eating only little animal protein, weight loss is inevitably very fast.

The principle purify his body by giving him a break.
Slimming, form, purification, many interests.

Information and advice to carry his detox diet!

The detox treatment should not last more than a few days.

Why do a detox diet?

Body accumulated waste in the long run, interfere with its operation and generate fatigue, skin, hair and nails dull, the irritability, depression, reduced resistance to infections ...

These toxins have two origins: inside, the manufacturer itself waste agency; external, related to the environment (pollution, tobacco, alcohol, meds, additives ...). In principle, the body expels waste.

But it may happen that their accumulation is too high and it can cope.

The detox treatments are designed to purify to infuse it with new energy.

There are several variables by their duration (fasting, all fruits, all vegetarian, all vegetable ....

In principle, the body expels the waste.

But it may happen that their accumulation is too high and it can cope.

The detox treatments are designed to purify to infuse it with new energy.

There are several variables by time and their composition (based on fruit, vegetable, vegetable broth ...).

> The arguments followers

In the modern world, we are all affected by the accumulation of toxins.

Whether due to food overload (year-end holidays, for example) to excess stress or work (, illness or simply a persistent unhealthy life ( lack of physical activity, smoking, abuse of prepared foods, exposure to pollution ...), a cure is welcome.

It is required when one or more of these symptoms: chronic fatigue and sleep hard, dull skin, intestinal disorders, sunken eyes, nausea and digestive problems, muscle and joint pain, dull or oily hair, migraines, retention water, anxiety, depression, acute stress ...

> The arguments of critics

The idea that these treatments would clean the bodies of the amount of pollutants and pesticides that we face is simplistic.

It takes more than two days of vegetable broth to rid the body of these toxins!

The best way to avoid accumulating waste is yet to be exposed to a minimum.

As for total fasting, it is nonsense according to doctors.

Not only does it weakens the body by depriving it of nutrients necessary for its operation, but it also generates the opposite of the desired effect by promoting the production of toxins.

> Detox, manual

- Select your time:

In early spring, summer or fall, our needs are greater than in winter and we turn to lighter foods: this is the most suitable time.

You may also be tired of change or suffer from certain disorders (headache, dizziness ...) it is best to schedule your treatment over a period of rest.

- Emphasize the natural, at least 1.5 liters of water per day, organic food, herbs, fruits and vegetables, tea.

- Review your lifestyle: To attract, promote sweating which causes: sauna and steam room, intense physical exercise, herbal perspirant .
