Filed Under (About InsBeaute, Beauty, Beauty Consultant, Beauty Therapist, Esthetique, Health Awareness, News, Wellness) by User ImageSerine on 02-06-2008

Most people think we need to help our body detoxification and actually our body can do automatically, the body naturally can detoxify through our skin and the systematic circulation and also our digestion.

How does they work?

The skin

The skin will perspire and detox the sweat when the body is feeling hot and release the sweat in order to regulate the temperature and at the same toxin is releases. Therefore, most people like to do exercises allowing our body able to perspire the sweat releasing the toxin out of the body and not forgetting the oil gland will also releases sebum if the environment or weather is cold to help keep moisture to the skin.

Circulation

The body need to have circulation and helps absorption taking the nutrients to the cells to help renew and make more new cells and at the times purges the old and damaged cells.

Our digestion

As all knows we always need to eat and if you don’t then you feel hungry, that is why we do feel hungry? Well, our body need foods “nutrients” which indication from your stomach, then the nutrients will does to the small intestine for further absorption and those that is no absorption by the body will be waste and also some waste products due to new food taken and old ones which is known to be toxins, mostly to goes to the big intestine to be pass out. Otherwise will be stored for future use, in case meal is skip!

In generally, it is very simple and especially our body has the capability to do so and unless the body is sick then will not function properly. Some people are unable to detoxify normally and healthy because we did not take care of ourselves and due to added stress causing the natural way of detoxification malfunction then that is when help needed.

Aroma-therapy come from the word Aroma which means smell, fragrance and in generalaroma-pic.jpg the sense. And therapy which is a treatment of therapeutic touch by a therapist. Aromatherapy is a branch of alternative medicine that employs essential oils because practitioners believe aromatherapy oils have therapeutic effects. Aromatherapy also acts on the central nervous system, relieving depression and anxiety, reducing stress, relaxing, uplifting, sedating or stimulating, restoring both physical and emotional wellness.

Aromatherapy Essential Oils can help you enhance your life, total well-being and overall health and wellness.

At worst, they provide no benefit.

Osteoporosis – The Silent Disease

Filed Under (Beauty, Beauty Consultant, Beauty Therapist, Esthetique, Wellness) by User ImageSerine on 07-03-2008

Osteoporosis can be a particular problem for Asian women, who in general have less bone mass than females of other races, and thus are more vulnerable to bone mass loss.

Bone reaches its maximum mass by age 25 to 30. After that, bone mass begins to decline gradually. As for women, loss of bone is dramatically accelerated during the first 5 – 10 years after menopause when women can lose as much as 30% of their skeleton!

52% of Asian women aged 50 and above are estimated to have low bone mass.

35% of Asian men aged 50 and above are estimated to have low bone mass.

Osteoporosis is called a silent disease because it is often diagnosed only after a person suffers a fracture in which the bones becomes thin and brittle. However, you do not have to wait till then to find out you are losing your bones. Bone formation and depletion is a natural condition of life, but as age increases, bone depletion accelerates much faster than its formation, often due to insufficient ionized calcium storage.

That is why calcium is one of the most important and irreplaceable minerals because of its role in: Formation, maintenance and protection.

  • Formation and growth of bones and teeth;
  • Maintenance of strong bone and teeth; and
  • Protection from increasing bone loss due to aging.

Help Your Bones!

Avoid smoking and heavy alcohol consumption and physical inactivity are much more important factors in the development of osteoporosis than calcium deficiency.

Increases your intake of calcium like dairy products, yogurt. or calcium supplements if ones greatly in calcium deficiency.

Do exercises at least 20 – 30 minutes about 3 times a week

And lastly a daily balanced-diet meal.

Sleep: Your Body’s Means Of Rejuvenation

Filed Under (About InsBeaute, Beauty, Beauty Consultant, Beauty Therapist, Esthetique, Wellness) by User ImageSerine on 12-02-2008

sleeping-baby.jpgDuring season festive time, just like Chinese New Year, most of us getting ourselves busy spring cleaning the house, going shopping buying new clothes, shoes and others new stuffs and not forgetting going supermarket to get food in order to prepare ourselves a sumptuous meal for the reunion dinner or meals for the guests and that will make us having not enough time – so what happen! Lack of sleep..

What happens when you cannot catch up?
Chronically losing sleep results in sleep debt, which can lead to serious consequences. Sleep debt is cumulative, and even small nightly sleep losses can add up to affect your daytime function. Possible consequences include increased accidents and poor performance on the job or in school.

Long-term sleep deprivation can affect your physical and mental health. Sleep helps bolster your immune system so that you can fight off viruses and bacteria. After a few nights of absolutely no sleep, some people begin hallucinating.

When you do not get enough sleep, you may feel less alert and less vigorous and perhaps, more confused, irritable and fatigued. Lack of sleep affects not only your energy level but also your mental and social functioning. You may find it more difficult to concentrate. You may find that you lose patience quickly, that you become less interactive in your relationships and that you become less productive at work.

Do not be embarrassed about your need for sleep!
You may find yourself routinely dozing off in mid of day or having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep of your need for sleep. But in reality, sleep is just as important as the activities you perform during your waking hours.

Sleep ranks at the top of the list of human necessities — right along with air, water and food. It is more than a timeout from daily life or a passive retreat. A good night’s sleep leaves you feeling refreshed, alert and ready to tackle the day’s tasks.

Will napping help?
The urge for a midday nap is built into your body’s biological clock. Usually between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. you experience a slight drop in your body temperature, indicating nap time.

If you are not getting enough sleep, napping may or may not help. The best solution is to go to bed earlier. If that is not possible, a daytime nap might give you the boost you need, helping you feel more energized and alert. If you have insomnia, though, a daytime nap may make sleeping at night more difficult.If you do nap, keep it short, called it a Cat Nap — limit it to 20 or 30 minutes late in the morning or in the mid noon. And do not rely on naps to keep you going. Try to get enough sleep to avoiding a sleep deficit.
