So
we've got the body covered. But as you may have figured out
by now, working out is a waste of time unless you are on the
right track and eating a well balanced diet
(the exception of the rule being if you workout more than
what you eat - maintaining your diet of potatoe chips, cake
and cola and working out twice as hard to burn the fat. Trivia:
John Travolta admitted to doing this on The Oprah Show recently
(he lost allot of weight)
So, we'll start with diet - which translates
to skin, which we'll cover later. |
...
1. Cut down on meat.
2. Substitute
low-fat for high fat foods.
3. Cut down
of sugar.
4. Avoid salt
and salty foods.
5. Eat fewer
processed foods.
6. Emphasize
the complex carbohydrates.
7. Take a multivitamin
and mineral supplement.
8. Drink plenty
of water.
9. Drink little
no alcohol an caffeine.
10. Seek lots

Complex carbohydrates
These are the main course of a healthy, high energy diet. Of
the total calories your consume daily, 60 - 75% should be complex
carbohydrates. |
.
Proteins
Protein should represent 15-20 percent of your total daily calories.
This is your diet's essential condiment. |
Fats.
These should constitute the smallest portion of a healthy diet
- a little oil for the flavor and for essential acid. Fats can
provide as little as 10 percent of your daily calories. |
Calorie
Info:
1 Gram of Protein: 4 Calories
1 Gram of fat: 9 Calories
1 Gram of Complex Carb: 4 Calories
|
Water:
Water is the primary nutrient - second only to oxygen as a prerequisite
for life. The body can withstand the absence of food much longer
that it can absence of water! |

It's
so surprising how many people on diets or at lease think to
be on the right road of healthy eating, freely consume highly
processed junk foods and soda pops.
What's more shocking is how parents give their children these
food and drink products without question. "If it's bad
for you, then they wouldn't sell it!" seems to be the attitude.
Well you too would be shocked to know what you and your children
are consuming each day. From cola to the soft drink "Sunny
D" which though marketed as great for kids due to the vitamin
C, you are effectively losing control of your own body unless
you read the labels. And don't think because it's fat free you've
won - in the absence of fat, other elements are introduced to
maintain the taste. Though we can't recommend any particular
website, we do recommend going to Google.com
and typing in dangerous food additives (Click Here)
For more information on understanding additives in foods.
How does this all relate to skin?
Well, allergies to new chemical products made for consumption
are not all mapped out. The allergy will usually result in skin
trouble - like spots, rashes and not feeling all too well. You
may notice this happening when you go full out and eat allot
of sugary foods one day - to wake up the next morning covered
in spots.
So giving up junk food and highly processed food & drink
is the right move for your body. Your skin may clear up in a
matter of weeks or even days - depending on what you've been
eating and drinking. You can help detox and hurry the junk free
process by working out and drinking lots of water to flush it
out of your system (body) |
Clean
Skin:
It goes without saying you should keep your skin clean and healthy.
Since every one is different, you may want to go to your local
pharmacy, chemist or dermatologist whom can recommend specific
products to suit your skin. |
Well you have every thing you need to improve your entire
body and image. It just takes determination and a healthier
way of life - and the school reunion (or any reunion for that
matter) usually is the best drive to make one improve. Good
Luck! |
