Stress and Aging

~our stressful lives make us old~

Scientists have finally identified the first direct link between stress and aging. When we start to feel pulled at both ends how many of us really give our bodies a break? And, what about our skin? Dull complexion, blemishes, eczema and other skin disorders can be a direct result of prolonged stress. It can even result in premature aging… even at your age.

Reduce brain fatique, daily stress with a walk in the park

It's not just our skincare products and processed foods that is giving us little nutritional substance.  Today, it's also sitting long hours in front of our computers that is becoming a growing health concern.  It can drain our vitality and happiness.

In a recent article written by The David Suzuki Foundation, it states, that, "researchers have built an increasingly persuasive case for what most of us know intuitively: nature is good for us. Being regularly immersed in a natural setting can reduce stress while boosting immunity, ingenuity and energy."

And, that's the good news.

It’s as easy as walking out to your local park for 10 minutes, sitting quietly and soaking in the sun will improve your mood and allow the brain to rest.  Scientist calls this "soft fascination", a time where your brain does not focus on anything specific, providing your brain a time to reset.

There you have it.  Spending 10 minutes in the park is now doctor recommended! 

Enjoy!

Beauty Pause: Junk Food

Get Ready For Spring:  Probably the worst "junk food" anyone can take is hydrogenated oil--margarine, hydrogenated peanut butter, shortening. These oils have undergone a chemical change which makes their structures unusable by the body. These oils clog up the digestive tract and bloodstream and cause many problems, including that oily skin that troubles you!

Eliminate them from your food diet and look for food products with natural oils (olive, safflower, almond, sesame--there are many choices for you to choose from, take advantage).

You'll see a real difference.

Enjoy!

Thought for Spring

Like Spring, transitions are in-between times; these are periods of waiting.

However, for most of us we find it uncomfortable to wait. We usually move right into the next thing, quickly.
One job to another job, to a new hobby, to a new relationship.

Instead take a pause and give your life the time for awareness and reflection.
