Looking Forward- Shows in your Complexion

By Juanita A. Davenport

The largest organ in the body is the skin! Women's skin seems to age more easily than men's do because women's skin is thinner. The biggest factor that ages the skin and causes wrinkles are smoking, free radicals, and excess sun damage. By nourishing the skin, as well as our mind and spirit, we can reverse the sands of time, and turn the clock back on aging.

It is a proven fact that stress is a major cause of sickness and disease. Stress may be caused by trauma in your childhood where you could not express your emotions and it has carried over into your present life. If we can reduce stress then we can improve your natural radiance and health. Just by doing a little homework you can create a healthy lifestyle.

Repressed frustration, anger, bitterness, and judgments about your job, your relationships (or lack of a relationship), or even the world situation cause stress at a deep level in the muscle tissue. This could be a major reason for the body to put on wrinkles and lines in the face or even the beginnings of the disease called Fibromyalgia. The stress of repressed frustrations is often under many name brand diseases.

Four ways to reduce stress are: breathing deeply, do some kind of meditation, exercise, and Reiki energy clearing. One of the most well known practices is Transcendental Meditation or as it's commonly called "TM" has given considerably positive results in some peoples' appearance, longevity, health and well-being. Try working in the garden as a grounding and distressing activity.

When you connect with your inner being (the spiritual force within) you are helping establish a harmonious relationship with the feeling, health and development of your body.

To summarize, getting a full night's sleep is essential to beauty and good health. It is optimal to go to bed at the same time every night. When you count the hours that you have in bed - eight hours are best. Given these facts it is easy to see that if you have to get up early some morning then try to go to bed earlier the night before. Overall, it does not make good sense to stay up late when you know you have to arise extra early the next day.

When you eat organic fresh foods that you prepare yourself you are working with the body in a joint effort to increase better health. Partly cooked food contains more enzymes and life force energy than overly cooked or processed food. Giving the body the correct "fuel" will help you start looking younger and stay youthful.

Eating right is the first step to reversing the sands of time. You can feel better, look younger, and live longer through enjoyable, easy healthy practices. - 15634
