The Fountain of Youth - Right in Front of Us All This Time!Written by Danna Schneider
Can we really stop aging process, slow it down, or even reverse effects of aging on our skin and body? It is an enigma for which so many have searched answers to for years. Now, with advanced modern science making breakthroughs and discoveries every day, answers have become apparent to age-old quest for proverbial fountain of youth.In large part, your everyday lifestyle choices contribute to way you age, and rate at which your body ages. Diet, environmental factors, exercise and topical skincare products and skin care regimen you choose, all affect way you are going to appear now and ten, twenty, and thirty years down road. It's no surprise your lifestyle plays a pivotal role in how your body and skin age over years, since we've always known diet and exercise affect our energy levels, appearance, moods, and fitness level. However, several key foods have been found to be very effective weapons not only against aging in general, but also against skin disorders ranging from acne, rosacea, thin skin, and photo aging (sun damage). These foods can even help reverse and repair sun and other environmental damage done to skin. This powerful weapon is a group of chemical compounds called antioxidants, and what they accomplish in high doses, along with adequate exercise, can mimic a surgical facelift over a relatively short period of time! Think about all of damage your skin is exposed to on a daily basis. It is your largest and most vulnerable organ, exposed to toxins and other damaging elements, like sun, every day. These elements will actually accelerate aging process by producing harmful compounds called free radicals, which can damage cells and in turn damage skin.

| | How To Indulge and Win The Battle of The Bulge During The Holidays:Written by Joey Dweck
If you are trying to lose weight, holidays literally are heaviest time of year. So how do you eat, drink and be merry while you’re counting every single calorie? By getting a buddy who will help you make right choices bite by bite. Scientific studies have shown that people who diet with partners are much more likely to lose weight and to keep it off. And there’s no more crucial time to have a buddy on your side than from Thanksgiving to New Year’s. “During holidays, you can use all help you can get,” says Alan Gettis, a nutritionist and clinical psychologist in River Edge, N.J. “I urge my clients to get a full-time year-round a buddy, it could be a husband or a wife, a neighbor or a friend. I’ve also been telling my clients about www.WeightLossBuddy.com, where they can sign up for a buddy for free.” But don’t wait for first feast to find a buddy, says Susan Holmberg, a nutritionist and behavioral therapist in Oradell, N.J. “Once you start overeating, you don’t want a buddy,” she says. Buddies give you moral support and help you identify bad eating habits and patterns because they have been there, too, she says. “You may want to have more than one buddy,” she says. “You can have one on phone and one who exercises with you and goes to parties with you. You can make deals with your buddy where you both go to party but only one of you goes through buffet line or where you agree to split one meal.” Buddies also are like therapists and coaches, who listen to you and keep you on right path. “Your buddy should be a person you can share your feelings with and rely on in a pinch without fear that your feelings will be used as ammunition against you,” Gettis says. Holmberg says that www.WeightLossBuddy.com is particularly helpful to people who may be reluctant to change because those who sign on can choose a either real-life buddy, someone in their geographical area they can meet and exercise with, or select someone to work with solely online or via phone. “Sometimes anonymity is good,” she says. “You are much more likely to try it if you don’t have to meet person.” Gettis points out that with www.WeightLossBuddy, “you can find someone with similar goals, and both of you can support each other.” Buddies also take on active roles, getting you to stop a bad habit and replace it with a healthy one. Gettis likens process to a marathon, where runners are tempted to give up before 26th mile because it is so difficult to stay course. “The 18- to 19-mile mark is crucial one,” he says. “During a marathon I was once in, I came upon two guys running – one was hurting, and other was encouraging him to keep running. I followed them for two to three miles, and one kept saying, ‘Leave me.’ The other kept saying, ‘I’m not going to.’ And I thought, ‘What great friends!’ Then I heard one hurting say, ‘What’s your name?’”
