Skin Care Throughout Life
From the day we are born, our skin requires much care to remain smooth and healthy. It begins with soap to keep us clean. Then, there are creams, powders, and ointments to keep diaper rash from our bottoms.
During the first few years of our lives, our skin will do well with soap for cleaning and the occasional lotion or cream for moisture. Then come the teen years. Our raging hormones bring out the oily skin, the pimples, and a host of other conditions.
It's important to understand that everything that comes in contact with our body affects our health and the condition of our skin. That's why choosing natural skin care products and ingredients is important.
The liver filters the toxins and poisons from the food we eat, but whatever we place on our skin is directly absorbed. This includes deodorant, lotions, gels, cleansers, toners, make-up, perfumes, and more.
As we age, our skin becomes more sensitive, and we need to be even more careful with the beauty treatments we use.
Simple Solutions for Better Skin
Here are a just a few natural skin care solutions for you to try. You'll be very pleased with the results:
-once a week, rub your skin with baking soda while in the shower, for a smooth, silky feeling.
You can also do this on your face to remove black heads.
-fresh tomatoes are great for the oily areas of your face. (Please make sure to try the tomato juice on your arm first, as your skin may be sensitive to it). Rinse thoroughly immediately after using the tomato juice.
-for a great moisturizer try olive oil: this healthy fat is good for you, and is great for your skin.
You can also use it to soothe sunburned skin.
-vinegar can work wonders for smelly feet and armpits. Mix water and vinegar 50/50, and use in place of deodorant: it will keep the unpleasant sweat smell away, without any irritation. As for your feet, if you suffer with athlete's foot, a week of vinegar foot bath will help a lot, sometimes completely getting rid of your condition.
-egg yolk mixed with honey makes for a really great mask: put on your skin, leave it on for 20 minutes, and rinse off.
Excellent for sensitive skin. Honey gives a tingling/ticklish sensation, so if you are sensitive to that, use the egg yolk alone.
-another use for egg yolk: for those with eczema, use it instead of soap. It doesn't smell great, but it will heal your damaged skin.
-a great treatment for dry skin is avocados: mash it, smooth it onto your face, and rinse off after 20 minutes.
Lastly, make sure you drink 8 glasses of water every day to keep your skin cared from the inside out..
Water, Water, You Want Water!

If there was a substance that when consumed regularly can increase your workout performance by 15%-20%, would you take it?
Now wait, don't call the FDA or the DEA! I am not recommending that you take a drug or an illegal substance. This common substance is available almost anywhere, and even though some people pay ?big' money for it, it is available to most people for FREE.
You already know what it is because of the title of this chapter. And like a lot of very common and abundant things it is sometimes taken for granted. However, in the case of water this is especially true. Water is the essential substance, not only for life, but also for optimum performance.
Let's start with the basics.
On average your body consists of 70% water. Different tissues in your body have varying amounts. Your blood is 90% water, your bones 20%, and your muscles 70%.

Build immunity against sinusitis
Question: I AM a 23-year-old female. What is the cure for sinusitis ? I have been taking cod liver oil, vitamin C, and Horseradish and Garlic supplements for the past four month. Will it cure my sinusitis or only lessen the virus ? Answer : SINUSITIS refers to an inflammation of the mucous membrane that lines the sinus of the skull. Sinus is a cavity that is usually filled with air or blood. Sinuses are located close to the nasal cavities and also near the ear.
Therefore, infection of sinusitis travels from the mouth, nose and throat along the mucous membrane lining. A person, who is suffering from sinusitis, may experience severe headache over the affected sinus area and the nose may be blocked on the affected side. Allergy, repeated attacks of acute sinusitis or inadequate treatment of acute sinusitis combined with nasal obstruction cause a chronic sinusitis (long-standing). Acute (short-lived) sinusitis is caused by nasal infection in which the sinuses become blocked by the...
