Studies of these foods have revealed that they fight: viruses, fungus, bad bacteria, heart disease, diabetes and mental health disturbances. Coconut oil has even been shown to raise IQ and ease aggression because it contains DHA and AHA.

Dr. Steven Pratt, whose list of recommended foods is less extensive than this one, says "The right foods can actually changerepparttar course of your biochemistry.

Written by Shreelata Suresh


Continued from page 1

3.Always cleanse with tepid water. Hot water dries and damages skin over time, and cold water won't dissolve and take away embedded dirt and grime as well as lukewarm water.

4.If you use sponges or washcloths, make sure they are clean and soft. They are not necessary for effective cleansing: your fingertips can do just as good a job.

5.Wash your hands thoroughly before you cleanse your face, or you will be working dirt into facial skin. Use a headband to secure hair away fromrepparttar face.

6.Start by splashing tepid water on your face and neck.

7.Applyrepparttar 114466 cleanser with your fingertips or a soft sponge, using gentle circular massaging strokes and moving upward onrepparttar 114467 face and neck. Do not scrub too much...gentle massaging strokes are enough to help improve circulation as well as loosen grime and old surface skin cells. Too much scrubbing will stretch skin and irritate it, especiallyrepparttar 114468 delicate skin aroundrepparttar 114469 eyes.

8.Rinse with lots of tepid water. Don't forget to rinse off cleanser fromrepparttar 114470 neck and hairline. Cleanser residue can clog pores and attract dirt.

9.Gently blot off excess water with a soft towel. Do not scrub dry or drag towel along skin.

10.Follow immediately with a water-based toner and a moisturizer appropriate for your skin type to seal in surface moisture and offer nourishment when skin is receptive.
