Do you take vitamins everyday? it is necessary to eat well everyday to maintain a healthy and strong body.  Each vitamin helps keep different parts of our system functioning at their best and it is important to know what each vitamin does and what effects they have on our bodies so we know what we need depending on our individual needs

Vitamin K, which can be found in vegetables such as cauliflower, col and spinach help maintain our bones strong as well as helping maintaining our coagulation to prevent hemorrhages. Although it is not a vitamin that is talked about a lot, it should still be an important part of our daily diet to help us maintain our daily strength.

When should you start using eye creams.. I say better now than later. After a certain age it is imperative that we start taking care of our skin and our eyes are one of the mot important features on our face. Our eyes are the first to start showing our true age. Those little fine lines start to invade us and there is no turning back.

At my age I need as many products as possible to maintain my healthy and young appearance. I start off using an eye make up remover from Clarins called instant eye make up remover. For those nasty under eye puffy circles I like to usean eye masque that I could freeze and place directly on to my tired eyes to help reduce any inflammation. As for daily maintenance of puffy eyes I don’t dare leave my house without first putting on my daytime revitalizing eye gel.  To soften and prevent wrinkles we need a good anti wrinkle eye cream and I trust Lipovector Peptide Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream. For my nightly routine I don´t dare shut my eyes unless I have used the Obagi ELASTIderm Night Eye Cream.

I know it is a little exaggerated to use 5 products just for one part of your face but I have to do what I have to do and that is take care of my tired getting older eyes.

Back in the 70¨s facial exercise was the latest trend in the prevention against wrinkles and the maintenance of a young and rejuvenated complexion. Today women have started to make weird expression with their faces again, in the hope that these exercises will help them erase years from their faces.

With time dermatologists and plastic surgeons have started to debate the use of these exercises against another group of professional that insist that these exercises are beneficial and help maintain the elasticity of the skin as well as activate cell renewal.

The experts on the pro side explain that these exercises help stimulate the facial nerves and activate blood circulation producing a taut appearance to the skin. The Con group argue that these movements are the actual cause of fine lines and wrinkles and that with prolong exercises more lines and wrinkles will hence appear on the face.

The only thing I´m sure of is that we need to to everything in moderation and use a combination of different techniques to help us maintain our youthfulness and always keeping in mind that a healthy lifestyle is the best remedy for any imperfection

Sunflower seeds are addictive, once you start you can´t stop and that could be a good thing. I have always loved sunflower seeds, so when I found out they were good for you I was pleasantly surprised and excited to know that at least one of the foods I love to eat is good for me.

Sunflower seeds are rich in vitamin E (which is great for the skin), magnesium and potassium and help reduce cholesterol.  They also contain a high level of folic acid and iron (great for pregnant women).

Now you just need to remember that unpeeled salted sunflower seeds are not as healthy, so make sure you buy a bag of the already pealed ones and enjoy your new addiction.

Until now no product can say with a 100% assurance that it can help rebuild the elastin in our skin, well Relastin a new cream that magazines such as Allure and Elle have given their approval and congratulations is an innovative and effective cream that will not turn the clock back 100% but it will perfect the state of your skin to the point where you will feel the clock has suddenly stopped.

After a certain age our bodies start to lose elasticity and we need all the help we can get to start to repair the damages. Relastin revitalizes your skin and is said to reproduce the elastin that the body starts to lose with time. It leaves your complexion bright and taut causing you to feel years younger.

I love new products, I´m always the first to try them. I have already ordered my first jar of this miracle cream and I hope to be able to return to my yourth in just a few short weeks.

Christmas is just around the corner and I´m starting to freak out a little. All I see are sweets and more sweets, food all types specially traditional holiday food and my I know I have already gained weight just looking at it. I know it is going to be impossible to maintain my temptation to a minimum but I need to take action now, I can´t wait until the holidays are over and the pounds have caught me and wont let go. I have decided that this holiday season I´m going to walk and walk and walk.

I´m going to walk everywhere I can, If I have to drive then I will park as far as possible and walk. Walking is one of the best things you can do for your health, it helps increase your blood circulation, prevent cardiovascular diseases and burns calories without you even noticing. I figure this way wont have to stop eating all together.

With the cold bitter winter here some of us start to get a little depressed at the sight of our pale complexion in the mirror and run quickly to the nearest tanning salon.  Here, the tanning beds offer us sunlight 365 days a year and give us a golden tan as natural as the sun itself but be careful these machines are not perfect like the tan they leave behind.

Many dermatologist warn that the artificial ultra violet rays these machines produce are directly related to alterations found in the cellular  DNA..  This could have effects on the body such as allergic or toxic reactions, tumorous lesions, and premature aging of the skin but the most worrisome effect is that of skin cancer.

If you want to maintain that sun glow look this winter I suggest using self tanners, that are easy to use and don´t leave any side affects.

I´m the first to admit that food temptation is one of my worst traits.  I can´t seem to keep my eyes, smell and of course taste away from rich fatty foods or high in sugar cakes, potato chips, beer.. on and on.. All the things I know I should stay away from when trying to lose those few extra pounds.. (more than a few).  I realize I need to put a stop to this temptation madness and I will do it.

Although it seems difficult, we can all start to substitute the things we love to eat for the things that are good for us to eat. For example, beer, why not try a non alcoholic beer, how about sugar free cakes and sweets, nowadays they make a lot of different varieties of sugar and fat free sweets. Also try eating fruit when your sweet tooth asks for something tempting..

With a little consciousness we could start to train our mind and our bodies to enjoy different types of food that will help maintain us looking and feeling younger longer.

I´m always in search of that perfect food or vitamin that will help me feel better inside and out.  In my search I have come across a new product  called spirulina that has many benefits from giving you more vital energy ,to helping the development of muscles

What is Spirulina you ask? It is a  greenish-blue coloured single cell micro algae rich in vitamins A, B1, B12, minerals, and proteins. Japaneses doctors recommend this natural product, that is easily digested to help prevent illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes and cardiac related diseases.

You could take it in pill form or in a powderseveral times a day without any contradictions. You will not only feel good, you will enjoy a brand new state of being.
