Is real beauty on the outside or the inside?

Filed under: Style & Beauty — Tags: , , — admin @ 2:22 pm

Outer beauty will not help you create valuable relationships. Outer beauty fades and when you get to sixty and you have very little inner beauty, you will more than likely find yourself to be alone.

Inner beauty is far more radiant than outer beauty. Outer beauty has a minimal life span whereas outer beauty lasts a life time. I find myself drawn to people who care,drawn to people who contain something so priceless such as inner beauty. Some are born with outer and inner beauty, a rare find.

Real beauty is the woman who goes the extra mile for people she cares about, she does not hesitate to help someone in need. Real beauty is unconditional love and forgiveness. Real beauty encourages, uplifts and comforts. Outer beauty is only outer beauty, it cannot do anything but ‘look’ good. Outer beauty has no purpose other than to catch the eye of the beholder.

Real beauty such as inner beauty will surpass outer beauty over and over again. Inner beauty is unlimited and will not fade. Inner beauty touches the heart where as outer beauty does not touch the heart. I ponder on those who pay too much attention to their appearance. There is (more…)

Beyonces Master Cleanser diet: The hype and the truth

Filed under: Health & Fitness — Tags: , , — admin @ 8:21 am

Master Cleanser Diet Fast? Sure, I do remember reading how dedicated Beyonce was to her Deena Jones character in “Dreamgirls” a while back. However, I don’t recall reading about the Master Cleanser Fast Beyonce mentioned. It was necessary for her to lose weight in record time in between portraying Deena in her teens and late 30s. So what exactly is the Master Cleanser Diet Fast?

THE HYPE

Introduced by the late Stanley Burroughs in his book “The Master Cleanse”, the Master Cleanser Diet is also known as The Lemonade Diet, The Lemon Fast and the Master Cleanser Lemonade Fast. According to thelemonadediet.com, it “consists of fasting to rid the body of toxins, created by improper diet, lack of exercise and negative mental attitudes.” After reading this statement, it seems like the Master Cleanser Diet is supposed to have mystical qualities to heal the body. Then the website went on to say that diet “dissolves and eliminate toxins and congestion; to cleanse the kidneys and digestive system; to purify glands; eliminate waste and hardened materials in the joints and muscles; to build a healthy bloodstream; to maintain optimal blood pressure and to lose weight.”

Wow. Did Beyonce really experience all of these beneficial qualities (more…)

The advantages and dangers of dieting

Filed under: Health & Fitness — Tags: , , — admin @ 11:22 pm

Lets talk! The advantages and dangers of dieting, can be overwhelming. Our minds need to find control. If dieters don’t have control, they can be headed down the wrong direction.

Listen! There are many advantages when it comes to dieting.

* You have more energy.

* You sleep better.

* You get along better with your family, and friends.

* You start to see a brighter future.

* You may like to go shopping for some new clothes.

* You have a feeling that you’ve been given a second chance.

Don’t smile! There are dangers that need to be discussed. If you have bottled up issues that you haven’t resolved , think twice about starting a diet. Diets can be a start to a new beginning, or a disaster to an end. If a dieter is basically thin, and wants to lose weight, the person may have anorexia. These individuals are never satisfied with their appearance. If their bones show through their skin, they think their fat. Food is a toxin to them, they feel ugly, and fat. They may seek way of illuminating the food they just ate. They may try to induce vomiting. This will endanger their life. Someone with this problem, should seek professional help,in (more…)

The significance of health care education

Health Care Education

As a resident of one of the most impoverished states in the United States, West Virginia, I see daily the effects of lack of health education. Hundreds of citizens in my small town are without medical insurance and are ill-educated when it comes to a myriad of health concerns, such as tobacco-related illness, universal precautions against disease, obesity, medical insurance, sexually transmitted disease, and first aid procedures. With proper education of these subjects, I believe the percentages of contagious diseases and conditions present in my community would greatly diminish and individuals would feel more comfortable visiting hospitals and doctors’ offices. I believe this education should start in high schools and could be accomplished by making an elective course in which I am currently enrolled, Health Care Fundamentals, mandatory for all high school students.

In Health Care Fundamentals, my class learns valuable information that ranges from disease prevention to types of bacteria and viruses and their effects, health care professions, medical insurance, and nutrition, just to touch a few. The class is anticipated mainly for students interested in entering the field of health care as a career, but it (more…)

Are low carb diets healthy

Filed under: Health & Fitness — Tags: , , — admin @ 10:19 am

Low carb diets seem to be the most popular form of dieting today. There are so many people that market their own low carb diet and each one seems to be different. The diets seem to be so popular because you lose weight quickly, which SEEMS great.

The quick weight loss associated with low carb diets is not actually a loss of fat. What low carb diets do is deplete the glycogen stores in your muscles. This causes you to become dehydrated. Most people get really excited when they first start this diet and see the scale weight drop but its really just muscle loss and dehydration. This is not healthy for your body at all.

When you lose your glycogen in your muscles, it causes you to get tired very easily, and even decreases your basal metabolic rate. If you have a slower metabolism, you will burn fewer calories a day and it will be harder to lose weight. This is why the percentage of people that regain the weight they lost is extremely high for low carb diets.

It is very important that you keep yourself hydrated on the low carb diet. Signs of dehydration include headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, (more…)

How to find release and peace through inner healing

Filed under: Health & Fitness — Tags: , , — admin @ 12:15 am

Every moment that we live, we are being influenced by the pull and shove of the world. Life throws problems and responsibilities in our direction and we dodge or catch each of them, working the stress and strain of external influence into our lives and our consciousness. Shoulders get tight, blood pressure rises, headaches rip through temples, and we struggle to find balance in a world determined to see us knocked off of our feet.

Most humans are innately self-critical and fearful of rejection and change. It is common to find that our external struggles are mirrored by internal struggles and strife. There are avenues of healing practice, though, that treat both external and internal stress and allow practitioners to find peace and release through inner healing.

WHAT IS INNER HEALING?

The emotional and spiritual injuries that we experience in our lives leave scars on our consciousness, much the same way that a serious injury or childhood trauma will leave scars on our physical form. Inner healing is very much the internal, emotional equivalent of physical healing and recovery. The purpose of inner healing is to break patterns of critical and damaging thinking and transform the internal (more…)

What defines beauty? – Part 1

Filed under: Style & Beauty — Tags: , , — admin @ 3:06 am

In a world so complex, we seem to have lost the true meaning of beauty. “Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty,” John Keats wrote in his “Ode on a Grecian Urn.” So, what is our truth? When the word beauty is mentioned, different images and meanings come to mind.

There is, of course, physical beauty, being practically an obsession for women. Our icons have varied in such extremes, from Marilyn Monroe to Twiggy, leaving us the impossible task of attaining perfection. We then become vulnerable to the media, allowing them to convince us to buy the latest “miracle” cream, or expensive designer wear. Advertising executives have distorted our perception of beauty and self-worth; in fact, we seem to have lost the meaning of the ever-so-popular adage, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

The battle may derive from our insecurities, and our need for attention and approval, possibly a result from past traumas. Physical beauty is only “skin deep” and true beauty stems from the soul. Healing our insecurities or “ugly scars” we begin to discover who we are, and recognize our beauty within. The wise Aristotle once stated, “The beauty of the soul shines out when a (more…)
