Reduce Wrinkles While You Sleep

Sleep is critical to good health and beautiful skin. Taking Omega-3 supplements on a daily basis is beneficial both to your health and your sleep. These fatty acids help regulate the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin-chemicals n the brain that directly affect sleep regulation. Avoid heavy spicy foods and alcohol for two hours prior to going to bed if you have trouble sleeping. Turn off the TV one hour prior to sleeping and shut off the cell phone and computer two hours before bed time. Meditate, journal, do some deep breathing to clear your head and center your body. Taking a warm bath before bedtime will help you relax. Use aromatherapy, have soft music playing and dim the lights. Your bedroom should be cool, dry, dark and quiet for good rest. Turn off all lights, close the shades and set your thermostat to between 64 and 68 degrees F. Utilize topical and internal products that add depth to your sleep. Look for ingredients such as melatonin and GABA. give thanks for at least three good things that happened that day. You will get your beauty rest, Sleep sound!

With all the information I send and all the great educational health and wellness information on line it could be tempting to start taking every supplement mentioned. That is not what I intend. So how do you decide what your need? There are basic foundational health issues that should be addressed before anyone decides to take any supplement.

First what is the definition of supplement and when you put vitamin in front of it what does that mean?
A supplement should be a compliment to what you eat daily. Vitamin supplements are usually synthetic and I do not take them myself. They are usually full of fillers in addition to the ingredients you are going after. Vitamin supplements should be handled carefully and treated as a temporary addition for a specific condition. We will talk more about them next time.

So a compliment to what I eat daily should be a whole food supplement like Barely Max, Green Magma, Greens Plus or another powered food source. There are many powdered super foods that you might like to add and these are what I call supplements. Sea vegetables in a powder like chlorella or blue green alge are a great addition. These supplements are juiced and dried or just ground from the whole food sources. These supplements are nutrient dense and have the right balance of nutrients that work together. These supplements could be increased when you travel and do not have the same quality of foods available to you as if you were preparing your own meals. This type of supplement cannot be overdosed on. These whole food supplements are a great nutrient support if you are fasting for any reason. You could actually live on these types of supplements for quite a while.

Nutrient dense whole food supplements provide vitamins and minerals in a complimentary balance this may be an important addition and usually contains most of the great nutrients that you might read about but in an easier to assimilate form. Next I would consider ground flax or hemp for minerals and fiber another whole food source of protein, fats and fiber. Third an extra source of Omega 3 and 6 oils, these are in flax and hemp but they are so good for the brain and joints I like to add a little extra. Krill oil is the best, Krill is a small fish the the cod eats to get its great cod liver oil. What ever brand you choose fish oil is a great supplement for everyone young and old.

Three supplements, a powered superfood, ground seeds and a fish oil; next a digestive enzyme. Digestion and assimilation is everything and as we age or if we have poor digestion we need plant based enzymes to support the body. If you eat lots of raw foods and or juice raw vegetables you may not need enzymes because you are getting them in the raw vegetable juice. I find I still need lipase for fat metabolism but I am 55 after all.

The only other thing I would consider to keep my health are probiotics. Probiotics are good bacteria that live in the digestive tract and keep us healthy. These bacterias are killed when we take antibiotics and should be replaced any time you need to take an antibiotic. If you are under 30 taking a mouth of daily probiotics is a good idea twice a year spring and fall. If you are over 30 and have not taken excellent care of your digestive tract you should take a probiotic supplement daily. I will write more next time about all of these but for now get a good base and don’t take more than five supplements a day.
1. Powered green food drink
2. Ground Flax
3. Fish oil
4. Digestive enzymes (plant based)
5. Probiotics

By the way this will make your skin glow. All the nutrient that keep you beautiful are included but if I went into everyone you might be tempted to go find a synthetic supplement for what is really the best help, whole foods.

Cold weather combined with central heating is a recipe for dry and dehydrated skin. To keep your skin and yourself from becoming dry and lifeless I want to share a few tips. Dry skin looses its healthy glow so you need to exfoliate more often. If you have not tried Frownies pH wash it contains essential oils to calm the skin and and gentle herbs that exfoliate. I am 54 and use it twice every day. Everywhere I go I get comments about my skin and how fresh and young it looks. Most places I go people know I have 5 children and swim three days a week. Both of these circumstances take a toll on the appearance of the skin so how is it my skin looks young and healthy.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate by drinking plenty of filtered water and using drenching moisturizers on the skin topically. Immune Perfect will penetrate deep into the skin at a cellular level providing moisture and antioxidants. Most skin lotions and skin moisturizers occlude or seal off the surface of the skin to stop moisture loss. This is not a good way to treat the skin which is the largest organ of elimination in the body. The skin needs to breath use Immune Perfect at the beginning of your day and at the end.

Another trick is using the essential oil lavender in the shower. After you body is wet put a few drops of lavender essential oil in the palm of your hands and rub it on the body. Lavender is an antibacterial as well as a relaxing aroma. After getting out of the bath use Immune Shield all over your body while still damp and them spray down with Rose Water Hydrator Spray.

While I am relaxed and refreshed from a shower with lavender, I hydrate the under eye area with Frownies Under Eye Patches. Lay back for 30 minutes and practice deep breathing to help relax and release any stress from the day that I might still be holding on to. This is a beauty trick because more stress shows on our faces than any where else. This might not seem possible every day but at least once a week it is a must for me.
