    By Health Blog on June 4, 2009 | 1 Comment1 Comment  Comments

    It’s one of the very first things you do in the morning and the things you take are one of the very first for that particular day as well.  It is undoubtedly the most vital meal of the day. 

    A thorough and proper breakfast will help you keep fresh,  active and thoughtful for the whole day. Mostly people who are late-risers and those who are short of time, are the ones who usually either skip their breakfasts or may not eat up properly and would eat in a hurried manner. First of all, you don’t have to be Freud to come to know that eating hurriedly can be disastrous for your digestive metabolism, and will make you feel the results for all day long. Secondly, starting your day by skipping your breakfast is also a mistake.

    The people who take breakfast are much better both at work and studies than those who do not. But while you take your breakfast, it is equally important to choose what you eat.

    Enrich your breakfast with fruits and vegetables. Not only will that make your breakfast better tasting, but their fresh and green presence will also make you feel lighter and better. Fresh fruit juices are an all time favorite, rich with all the Vitamins we need. Protein consumption will also boost your energy houses to optimal level with stuff like milk, eggs and tofu. Whole Grains should not be missed out as they cater to a number of our nutritional needs all together. Coffee and tea can be personal preferences, but a lot of us can not really live without them.

    So always have a smile on your face every morning by providing it a fresh start with a pleasant and healthy breakfast.

    stones1Usually the stones used in the therapy are well formed crystals of Basalt. Marble, Jade, Petosky and Sardonyx stones are also used. The stones vary in sizes, shapes and weights. The stones are kept at specific temperatures as per their function and nature, and the importance of the hygiene measures taken for them are also paramount .

    The stones are used in two ways. One, with the stones kept under the client and over a fabric, and the other, with the stones kept on top of the body of the clients on a fabric. The stones are usually lined up with the spinal column of the body and are placed in coherence with the chakras or the energy centers of the body in Ayurveda and Tantra, as the massage to the extensions of the body is carried out simultaneously.

    The massage is usually highly customized in nature, with the pressure levels kept as per the client needs. The heat from the stones imply a soothing effect on the muscles and the nerves and increases the circulation of the blood in the area to which the stone is being applied. The relaxation this kind of massage provides to the mind is really an out-of-this-world feeling. You must have one to learn about the feeling.

    By Health Blog on June 3, 2009 | 2 Comments2 Comments  Comments

    Even the most beautiful of features can be marred by the presence of those dreaded dark eye bags that haunt the eye socket area of the face. Everybody wants to get rid of them, regardless of the gender or age. 

    While usually we associate them to lack of sleep, they could also be caused by impurities in the blood, digestive disorders, they may be hereditary and can also be an affect of ageing.

    Although there is no proof of the validity of the ages old remedy of placing cucumber or potato  slices on the eye bags for fifteen to twenty minutes daily. Some even do that for a longer time. It has been known to work and one of the reasons why it has been around for so long and is so popular. Besides, anything natural rarely has any side effects.

    Other ways to solve the problem include heating and applying olive oil through cotton buds on the lower eye-lids. The oil will cure the sogginess and wrinkling of the eye-lid skin. Even applying used & chilled green tea bags on the eye bags is also widely practised. But the tea bags require about five to ten minutes of application to take effect.

    The phenomenon is strange as you will hear scientific circles advising one thing and the masses doing something else. But it certainly concerns a beauty conscious person and developing healthy habits like maintaining a sufficient and balanced liquid in-take, avoiding caffeine, nicotine and too much alcohol, and getting your beauty sleep can avoid dark under-eye bags in the first place.
