Weight Loss for beginnersWritten by Ryan Fyfe
Getting into a weight loss program or any type of dieting is intimidating for a beginner. Better health is something that we should all work towards, and be bold about. With right preparation and attitude we can all get into and achieve success in Weight Loss. Provided below are some tips that can help you get into Weight Loss, and help you progress along way.Seek Advice - When first starting out there is no sense trying to learn everything for yourself! Take some time to talk to others who are more experienced, and learn what you can from them. It can take time to really work out what works for your body, and your lifestyle, and by talking to others you can save a lot of time in experimenting, and see results you want, faster Exercise - When getting into a weight loss plan, make sure you are after one that is interested in general well being of your body, rather than one that will just pull pounds off fastest. Understand that someone who is a bit overweight can be a lot more physically healthy than someone who is lean. I strongly believe that any good Weight Loss program should have an exercise program to go along with it. This will help promote a healthier lifestyle, increase speed of your progress, give you a strong heart and lungs, and will make you feel mentally fresh, and full of energy. Diet - Just as important as exercising throughout a weight loss program you need to make sure to find a diet that will work for your lifestyle and your goals. Be reasonable, and be persistent. One of biggest flaws in diet programs, is that users will follow them for 5 out of 7 days of a week, and on other 2 binge on foods that work negatively towards progress of whole program. Be mentally strong and take steps necessary to make this as easy as possible. It can be simple things like not buying junk foods, and staying out of Coffee/Donut shops that can make all difference.
| | Secrets to Aromatherapy II - Psychological ComplaintsWritten by Liz Santher
Aromatherapy is very therapeutic when it comes to healing emotional and psychological conditions. This is because essential oils from plants contain all kinds of compounds, phytoestrogens and phytochemicals that have ability to subtly alter brain chemistry for better. Given stressful demands of today's busy schedules, anxiety is a very common problem. There are scores of essential oils that can be used to combat this common psychological complaint. To achieve best results try to buy high quality or organic oils as they contain highest concentration of compounds, phyto estrogens and phyto-chemicals. For anxiety you can try companioning a few drops of any of these oils in a base carrier oil such as olive or almond and applying them to your pulse points or temples. You can also disperse oils through air using a diffuser or candle oil warmer or add a few drops of oil to eight ounces of distilled water and mist your surroundings. You can also shoot a mist straight up into air and walk through it so that plant's healing molecules cling to your clothing, skin and hair. For acute anxiety, you can try applying oils to a hanky or Kleenex and sniffing aroma whenever you feel a panic attack setting in. The best aromatherapy oils to use for anxiety are balsam fir, bergamot, cedar wood, frankincense, lavender, jasmine, neroli, rose and ylang ylang. Linden blossoms, in particular are excellent to use to stop a full-blown anxiety attack and geranium is oil to use if menstrual or menopausal issues cause anxiety.
