Beauty care - 7 beauty tips
Beauty care is one of the problems that most women (and men) of
all ages face. Beauty, or the lack of it, is pretty much a state
of mind. . .well almost. There are beauty tips for Hair Styles,
Nails, Skin Care, Body and Shape, Weight Loss, Exercise, Fashion
and Style, Inner Beauty and more.
Let's talk about inner beauty care. True beauty begins from the
inside out. Outer beauty will only appear when you've practiced
beauty within.
Knowing how and what to eat, can make a huge difference in how
you feel. Improper eating habits can cause depression,
overweight, illness and an overall lethargy.
Change your eating and exercising habits. You can do this. Do
not try to change everything at once, unless you are just one of
those rare individuals that can do that.
Beauty care starts with our diet. Diet does not mean just losing
weight. Diet means the food you put in your daily eating habits.
1)A rule of thumb for eating habits are...don't eat more
calories than you consume. Don't go one single day without doing
something extra and physical for at least 30 minutes per day.
This can be three ten minute walks. Or 30 minutes of vigorous
aerobics, or 12 minutes of weight lifting and 18 minutes of
walking.
2) Water, you need water. Try to add at least 4 more glasses of
water to your daily diet. The rule of thumb for water is 8
glasses per day; and one extra for every ten pounds overweight
you are.
3) Fats, you need to know about fats. There are different kinds
of fats. Some fats are better for you than others. A rule of
thumb on fats is, stay away from hydrogenated fats. These are
fats that solidify. They are in store bought cakes, cookies,
crackers, chips and even in bran muffins. Read the labels.
Choose fats that are polyunsaturated or fats such as olive oil.
And, eat some fish to get some omega-3 fats. Carbohydrates - Are
your immediate fuel source. An average is about 55 percent of
your diet in carbohydrates. So, a rule of thumb is, figure your
protein grams, get around 25% fat per day, and the rest would be
in carbohydrates. The heavier you are, the more protein you need
the less carbohydrates you will need.
Fats - try not to exceed more than 25 percent fat in your daily
diet. 30 is fine, too. That does not mean you can't have a junk
food fast food hamburger... it just means that if you do eat
that 55 percent fat burger that you are going to have to cut
down on other fat filled foods for the rest of the day to
balance it out.
4) Fiber - work up to getting 25 grams of Fiber per day
5) Protein - averages about 20 percent. Divide weight by 2.2 and
multiply that by .8 to get the kilograms. For men it is averages
as one gram per each kilogram of weight. So, a man would divide
their weight in pounds 2.2 then multiply that by .10
6) Make exchanges gradually. Suppose you drink whole milk...work
down to 2 percent. Maybe replacing two of your cups per day
until you can completely change over. If you are on two percent
milk, work down to 1 percent.
7) Add bran to your cereals for extra fiber. Do add it in your
baking. You need to balance your diet with vegetables and
fruits, too. Try adding different colors to your plate. Maybe an
orange yam, and some green beans, to add color. The more variety
of food colors, bring more variety of vitamins. Eat more raw
foods.
Remember, exchange things, add things, and do it gradually and
remember, live all things in life in moderation and soon you
will be bouncy and vibrant and well on your way to living
BEAUTIFULLY!
