How to stop the old aging process is the ultimate age old question. Overtime, the cells of our body grow and die. There is nothing that can stop this process totally, but we are finding out so much more about the body and aging that we can slow down the ravages of time. So much of anti aging is a mind body connection. If you want to keep as young as you can in your body, you should stay young in your mind as well. Energy will follow what you focus on with your mind; so if you are worrying about how tired you are feeling, or how stiff your body is, or you are counting the wrinkles or gray hairs on your head, your energy and the energy around you will give you more of what you are focusing on. I propose to you that one of the first tips for anti aging is to stop thinking about aging; and start focusing on healthy you are, how good you feel and how great you look.
Another easy tip for anti aging is looking at the foods you eat. I remember when I was a kid in the 50’s and 60’s and there was almost no fast food or processed foods in the grocery stores. I remember when there were no TV dinners and you couldn’t find a box of Meat Helper anywhere. It was also rare for us to be overweight too. I didn’t have any friends that were overweight and you probably didn’t either. Eating too fast, and not eating enough of the good unprocessed foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables is one reason we are more unhealthy and age quicker than years past. If you aren’t getting enough vitamins in your diet, you might consider taking supplements. There are a host of vitamins on the market today so ask your pharmacist what brand is recommended and trusted for potency.
We women are looking for the magic wrinkle cream or body lotion that will erase wrinkles. If you find one that erases those wrinkles will you let me know? Some creams are better than others and some have natural herbs in them. Some doctors tout clearing up brown spots and reducing the signs of aging with retinoids. These retinoids are the most documented of the anti agers. It all goes back to prevention and sunscreen instead of trying to clear up the skin damage when it is already done.
It is also well known that stress will make you sicker and age you more quickly than just about anything. You have heard the expression “I just aged 5 years from that experience” or “I just lost 5 years of my life”. What can you do to live a more stress free life? If you can’t pick up and move to the country like I did, you have to find ways with exercise, meditation, leaving the work at the office, listen to classical music on the commute and so on to de-stress. Here again, stop a moment when it is quiet and focus on how relaxed and de-stressed you are. See yourself very calm and happy and everything is happening just as it should. If you have never tried doing that, I suggest you try just slowing down for a brief moment and see how good that feels. “Stop and smell the roses” as the saying goes. Sleep is also critical so don’t try to be super anything and take care of yourself first. If you aren’t taken care of, how can you possibly give back something you don’t have?
If you really want to slow the aging process, focus your attention on health, your family, friends, and how good it is to be alive. Be grateful for what you have in life and wake everyday knowing everything is playing out exactly as it is supposed to. Try not to “sweat the small stuff” and monitor your reactions to things. It usually isn’t the event that stresses us; it is how we react to the event. If you don’t let the event take control you will remain calm and your body won’t get thrown into a fight or flight mode. Whenever you can keep your blood pressure normal you are ahead of the game of life.

Seven Reasons Why You Might Take Hoodia
By Christopher Ruane
Good health is all too easily taken for granted until something unexpected happens in life. A drug that solves a typical health problem is seen as a minor miracle for its sufferers. Today's medicinal world is littered with supposedly high benefit drugs that proclaim a lot about obesity reduction but do nothing to cure the disease state.
We are still a long way from being able to provide cures for illnesses. What if at this time, a medicine with effective remedial measures for checking and reducing obesity was discovered?
It is time to wonder at an old practice from the ancient tribe of South Africa that used Hoodia the miraculous drug and thus unfolded its miraculous quality. It is astonishing to note that thousands of years of their past practices, is becoming extremely relevant in our world today.
With Hoodia Gordonii, there may come a decrease to the production of synthetic weight-reducing medicines. The extract of the plant Hoodia, is currently emerging as the greatest weight-reducing drug with no current known side effects. There are several notable reasons why Hoodia is becoming THE ideal alternative for treating obesity.
It is a natural ingredient while the synthetic drugs are usually made from complex chemical reactions that may generate harmful side effects quite apart from the primary benefit. On the other hand, Hoodia products are a concentrate of the extract collected from the mother plant. This is the first reason why Hoodia scores over other drugs, though of course even natural medicines can have problems too.
It is effective in reducing weight notably. It works on the appetite of an individual and minimizes it. Now, when normal food intake falls down, the body starts to burn the stored food to release adequate energy. Extra food is stored in the subcutaneous layer as fat that gives the extra weight overweight people carry around.
When Hoodia extract is taken, the appetite reduces and the brain gets the feeling that it has taken food. The body thus has to burn out the extra fat to procure the energy needed for its various works.
Obesity is also caused by an excessive and unbalanced eating habit. When you take Hoodia, the urge to eat dies down so one can get out of the habit of eating the excess calories that causes the unwanted obesity. It reduces food intake.
However if you eat just junk food anyway and no proper natural foods you are quite likely to be overweight and have other problems than obesity such as diabetes and high blood pressure.Taking Hoodia supplements won’t change that alone unless you change your eating habits towards healthy foods.
Hoodia has a positive effect on the mood of an individual.
It is currently termed as a foodstuff rather than a medicine.
Many medicines raise the body temperature and increase the rate of perspiration. This can often result in further complexities. Hoodia is thought to be completely safe from such effects.
The production of Hoodia is done under Quality Control measures and care is taken to assure good quality.
Thus, Hoodia is the most authentic remedy for obesity; efforts are on to enhance its utility further.

Protect your Hair and Skin while you Sleep
Most women today treat their hair in a manner that will cause some damage. Colour, highlights, chemical perms, bleach, blow drying, curling tongs and straightening irons – all leave their mark. But did you know that one of the most damaging things for you hair could be the cotton pillow you sleep on at night.
Whilst your cotton pillowcase may feel soft, cotton is highly absorbent causing it to draw moisture from your hair and your skin while you sleep. The natural oils found on the scalp are uniformly distributed along the hair shaft with the simple act of brushing, but these oils are then absorbed by the cotton drying it. In addition the weave of the cotton is abrasive tending to grip individual strands causing them to break and the hair to tangle. This is why your hair can look such a mess when you wake in the morning.
The answer to this problem – Satin - or more particularly The Beauty Pillow with its uniquely designed Satin Pillowcase that prevents sleep wrinkles, protects your hair and allows your hair and skin to breathe and retain all its natural moisture while you sleep.
For decades now hair care specialists have been recommending satin pillowcases to protect your hair and your hair style while you sleep. Firstly satin is not absorbent so it allows you hair to breach and retain its natural moisture, and secondly the hair slides over the pillow preventing it from breaking and tangling.
Most medical experts now also recommend satin pillows for patients being treated for cancer and hepatitis C, where the treatment tends to cause frictional Alopecia (al-lo-pee-shah) the abnormal loss of the hair root and hair shaft from the hair follicle caused by the hair rubbing against the abrasive cotton and causing heat damaging the hair cuticles with heat.
Sleeping on a satin pillow helps prevent the cuticle heating up during the night as the head moves around and puts pressure on the hair because the head and hair flows over the satin. It is also better for your skin in helping to prevent facial creases caused by the face laying in the same position for an extended time.
The Beauty Pillow was developed following a year of testing of various designs to ensure maximum slide of the head and hair over the pillow. It’s unique construction ensure that your head slides much more easily than just using a plain satin pillowcase as you move during the night preventing damage to your hair and wrinkles on your face.
We also wanted a product that was easy to travel with. The Beauty Pillow is just 50 cm by 30 cm and simply sits on top of your cotton pillow, so if you are in a hotel, staying with friends or even in hospital, you can benefit from the pillow. Being small it easily packs in an overnight case, so you can use it while travelling on a train or plane in place of or in addition to the travel pillow provided.

7 Tips to Keep Your Skin Looking Great
By Sheila Dicks
1. Healthy Food: Keep your skin fresh and glowing by eating antioxidant-rich foods. Choose foods that are bright in color, such as broccoli, carrots, blueberries and tomatoes. When you eat healthy and exercise regularly you are much more likely to have great skin.
2. Sunburn Treatment: First to avoid the chance of sunburn always use a sun block that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. If you are unfortunate and get sunburn, take a bath in lukewarm water using a moisturizing bath product such as Aveeno. Follow with a moisturizer.
3. Help for Rough Hands: Use Mary Kay, Satin Hands. It has an exfoliant and a moisturizer that leaves hands feeling ever so soft. Or, apply an extra emollient cream at night and then slip on a pair of cotton gloves and you’ll wake up with hands that feel much softer.
4. Eliminate Bumpy skin: If your skin feels rough (has little bumps) use a body scrub once a week and you will feel a difference.
5. Get rid of Back Pimples: If you get pimples on your back try a body wash that is make for acne (such as Clearasil) and watch your acne disappear.
6. No More Pillow Marks: To avoid waking up with creases on your face use a satin pillowcase. A satin pillowcase is also a great trick to keep your hair in place.
7. Skin that feels fresh: If you have a problem keeping the shine off your face during the summer and your face feels greasy by noon, change your cleanser and/or moisturizer to oil controlling.

The Beauty Pillow - Aids Sleep, Prevents Wrinkles
Orders are coming on from all over the world for our unique Beauty Pillow and we are receiving lots of very positive comments on the benefits.
Not only does the Beauty Pillow move with my face preventing those unsightly wrinkles that I so often used to wake up with but it is so comfortable to sleep on. The soft cool satin against my skin is such a wonderful feeling when I go to bed. Just after purchacing my Beauty Pillow I went away for a few days to stay in a hotel and I so missed my pillow, I found it hard to sleep. On my next trip I remembered to put my pillow into my case and what difference. This will be an essential item in my packing for the future. What a great idea to make it small enough to pack in an overnight bag. Richelle, Hull UK
After having now slept on the pillow for almost three months, I can safely say that I’m glad I tried it. Gone completely are the creases across my face that I sometimes developed, especially after a deep sleep. These creases often lasted until lunchtime, prior to using the pillow and were less than attractive. Julie, Leeds
We are sure you will not regret buying your Beauty Pillow why not order yours today here.

Raisins may keep you from the dentist
Raisins are good for you but did you know they may keep you from the dentist?
It has been found that raisins could protect your teeth. That little snack fights the bacteria that cause gum disease & cavities. This contradicts the long held belief that all sweet food is bad for your smile.
The study by Dr Christine Wu suggests that contrary to popular belief, the chemicals in this popular snack food suppress the growth of several species of oral bacteria associated with cavities and gum disease.
Raisins contain oleanolic acid, oleanolic aldehyde, betulin, betulinic acid and 5 (hydroxymethy1)-2-fur-fural all of which slow down the growth of bacteria and also stop it sticking to teeth to form plaque which can make the teeth fall out. Dr Wu, of the University of Illinois at the Chicago College of Dentistry says, “It is mainly added sugar that contributes to the problem.” The dark colour of fruits comes from caramelisation of natural sugars during drying.
