Health and Beauty
If You Want To Improve Your Beauty,
Start With A Healthy Lifestyle...

Our health is not just a physical state, we wear it every day.  

It is visually apparent in our eyes, skin, teeth, body shape, energy etc. Health and beauty go hand in hand. A person who cares for themselves physically, improves not only aesthetic physical qualities, there is a mental component of well being that becomes present.  

Scientifically speaking, the chemical nature of your body changes as a result of physical well being.  

For example, one chemical alteration in your body is the increased release of endorphins into your system which produce euphoric feelings which literally is defined as describing the feeling of well being.

When someone nurtures the components of mental and physical health, they transcend well being into a state of vitality.  

What is vitality? 

Vitality is word meaning full of energy or life...When someone has vitality, it is word that attributes to that person, a great life force and personal power.  Vitality in relation to health and beauty, is the result of something greater than the sum of its parts. 

When someone has vitality, it is a beautiful thing.

This health and beauty page hopes to help deliver vitality and beauty into your life.  We are all on a journey, just at different places along the road.  Like anything that brings great value to your life, developing a life with vitality takes some effort.  

There are lots of ways of building vitality into your life that include nurturing both mental and physical elements.

If you are looking for effective assistance in nurturing these elements, individuals like Tony Robbins have a proven track record of helping people restore their personal vitality and experience success in every facet of their lives.  You can read about his objectives in his program called get the edge , plus read about his life, and other peoples success stories.

The simple physical action of smiling is a good start to getting on the road to well being.  It too releases endorphins into your system.  

A beautiful healthy smile is one of the most powerful proponents to beauty.  

According to a national study conducted by Harris Interactive Nasdaq (global leader in marketing research) , the number one thing people notice first upon meeting someone was their smile (94% !).  This study also revealed that the majority of us believe an attractive smile is paramount to your professional life success, making friends and finding a mate. 87% of individuals polled believe that nice teeth are important to their self esteem. Teeth are the number one facial feature that people would change.

Getting physically fit, really is more than exercising regularly and, achieving and maintaining a target weight. Getting in shape is life altering.  

Why?  Because it is mind altering.  When you 'step up to the plate', no pun intended, accept that challenge, and then win...you really win big. Beyond the overwhelming health benefits and the improved physical appearance, as you meet weight loss and fitness goals.  Those step by step successes bring change to your self image.  The biggest part of meeting those goals came down to a battle of your will.  When you challenge yourself with goals and then attain them, it is amazing how your life can change for the better because you view yourself with more respect, pride and self worth.  You then begin to expect more from yourself, take risks, go out and 'seize the day' a little, or a lot more, passionately.

There is a sea of weight loss and fitness information out there, both in the cyber world and regular world.  

If I can suggest one thing, do your homework and don't buy into quick fix, "magic pill" solutions (no matter what the proposed health and beauty benefits).  There are excellent safe effective weight loss and exercise programs that can be custom fit to your life's schedule. I really like one online resource because it offers a lot of free, excellent information without any commitment.  At this site you can fill out a free personal lifestyle profile , and develop a program or short list known programs, to suit your own unique needs.  This site focuses on weight loss information but it offers an excellent segment about getting fit, featuring professional direction by Oprah Winfrey's personal trainer and 3-D animation exercise demonstrations.  If you want a custom fit fitness program with excellent on line support, try the above site's, sister site. 

In recent years, the science of body movement and exercise physiology has updated their theories on effective manners of movement in the pursuit of lean body mass and cardiovascular health.  No longer is aerobic exercise working at 70% of your maximum heart rate, sustained for twenty minutes (at least), the only route to burning fat and getting lean.  

So cross train, and mix it up!

Generally speaking, the health and beauty objectives of getting physically fit are to reduce body fat, gain muscle and improve your heart health and lung capacity through "cardio" (cardiovascular exercise).  Gender differences being, men like some muscle bulk and women don't want bulk, they want "tone".

Strength training  and cardio programs aren't for muscle heads, they are for those of us who want to transform our bodies into the strongest, most fit, healthiest and best looking bodies they can be. If your serious about transforming your body, an excellent program to consider is called  Body for Life , developed by Bill Philips.  His approach to fitness, nutrition are scientifically solid.  This program works. The 'before' and 'after' photos alone,  of hundreds of people are simply amazing, never mind the powerfully written testimonies of what regular people managed to accomplish. 

Pilates is another excellent, and presently very popular, way of getting physically fit.  The focus of this type of exercise is strengthening the "core" through very precise controlled body movements.   Sculpt Your Body Slim™ with Winsor Pilates is probably one of the most recognized program names out there.  Mari Winsor, the founder of this program, focuses on developing long lean muscle tone and has strong celebrity endorsement marketing health and beauty.  

Another very popular exercise trend is yoga with individuals not only exercising, but also adopting some of the eastern philosophy from where yoga was derived.  Wai Lana is probably one of the most recognized yoga instructors based on her internationally aired yoga television programs.

By the way, I encourage you to try and include the outdoors in your exercise regime...

Talk about a sense of vitality, health and beauty.  The important sense of living in the present, and enjoying the moment is really evident in this experience (So often as individuals our minds are cluttered with thoughts of the past and worries of the future, and we miss out on the present).
