During the diet which you are to follow for at least ten days you cannot eat any foods or drink anything else besides the lemonade, herbal (laxative) tea or water.

Stanley Burroughs is the author of this diet and it is intended to cleanse the body of all its toxins. You can tell you are clear of toxins once your tongue is completely pink and there is no more white film on it. The diet goes for ten days but sometimes your tongue is not completely pink at this time and it is necessary to continue the cleanse until it is.

While many people lose weight during this diet there are many people who haven’t. This lemonade diet is in fact a cleansing diet and should be approached as such. If you find yourself willing to try this easy and fun diet please remember going into it that you might not lose any weight at all. However take comfort in knowing that once you have completed this diet/cleanse that you will have rid yourself or years of toxic buildup. You will feel more refreshed and healthier then you have in many years.

Studies have shown that with the lack of sleep we leave ourselves susceptible to sicknesses, even the common cold due to a weakened immune system.  Not only does this weaken our immune system but we will find ourselves with elevated stress levels, memory problems, and even increasing our risk of sustaining injury at work or an automobile accident.

No one wants to be causing such harm to themselves, so here are a couple of helpful tips to get those z’s we all need.

• Avoid caffeine and nicotine in the evening to avoid interrupted sleep.
• Avoid napping during the day time hours.
• Create an environment that is calming, inviting, and comfortable for your bedroom.
• Try to clear your mind and leave tomorrows issues to tomorrow.
• And never forget moms advice to try a cup of warm milk or herbal mint tea before going to bed.

For example, taking a thirty minute walk or three ten minute walks throughout the day is also considered a good cardio workout.

And great news for stay at home moms, doing housework, vacuuming, mopping or dusting was evaluated in a recent study and was proved to reduce the risk of breast cancer because of more frequent moderate exercise rather than rigorous.

And health experts agree that the best sort of exercise to include in your day is, laughter.  Laughing fifteen minutes a day burns the same amount of calories as doing ten minutes of sit-ups!

Knowing the health benefits you can enjoy and how easy you can add exercise in your day should motivate us all towards living a healthier life.

• Cleanse- this washes away makeup, dirt, oil and keeps your pores unclogged.
• Tone- this is good to do after cleansing as it helps remove anything missed during the cleansing process.
• Moisturize- this is where you need to pick the moisturizer that is right for your skin type and age so that it helps your skin stay supple and vitalized.

• Protect- it is essential for the health of your skin to avoid harmful sun rays, using a lotion with at least an SPF of 15 is a good choice. They also make these lotions that will not clog your pores.

There is a large variety of beauty products to choose from when it comes to cleansers, toners, moisturizers and sun protection. And with this variety comes a broad price range that is suitable to fit anyone’s budget.

Faithfully following these basic skin care needs will keep you feeling amazingly good about yourself with a healthy glow and smile on your face.

Choose whole grain bread over refined carbohydrates.

Choose lean meats such as turkey, chicken or fish instead of the red meats that are high in saturated fats.

And always incorporate your veggies, lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc.

If we can also stay away from processed cheese and mayonnaise during lunch time then we should not only have a healthy meal but also a tasty one!  So there are not too many simple rules to follow, and when the time comes to order you will find it comes quite easy.

Using a humidifier at home can help bring moisture into the air, reducing the dryness and static that the dry winter air brings.

Use lotion and moisturizer.  After getting out of the bath or shower apply a moisturizer to your skin to help retain the moister from your bath. 

Use intensive hand creams for those dry cracked knuckles and over-dry hands, reapplying the cream after each washing of the hands.

And one more simple tip.  When bathing, use warm water and keep them nice and short to around ten minutes.

Practicing these quick, easy steps will help your skin survive the cold, dry season.

There is something magical about taking a bath.  You add bubbles and a few candles and instantly you are in an aromatic, tension free world.  The hotter the water (I like mine hot), it helps you to lay back and enjoy the “alone time”, the “tranquility” and yes, the “relaxation”.  It’s the perfect time for this peaceful setting to take away your headaches, and muscle aches, leaving the worries and stress behind.

It’s simple, and well worth the rejuvenating feeling you will have once you are out.

So why not treat yourself this evening to some relaxing, alone time!

With today’s busy society; parents working long hours, children involved with extracurricular activities after school and the go-go attitude, mealtime could be the only time you have to spend some quality time with each other and catch up talk about one’s day.

It’s also an important time you can help your children develop healthy eating habits. For example, when making meals you can replace bread items with whole grain tortilla or pita, or if you serve milk or water with your meal, your child is less likely to drink soda when they get older.

If your children are younger you can keep them interested in eating healthier by using a variety of cookie cutters to keep the shapes of certain foods fun and entertaining.

Keep your kids involved with what they eat by creating a list of healthy things they enjoy and look for them together while at the grocery store.

Having a busy schedule doesn’t mean we need to rush family quality time or deprive ourselves of proper nutritional value.
