Your busy lifestyle leaves little time for pampering skin care. The result: Your skin isn't the baby-soft body glove with which you were born. With age, your skin gradually becomes thinner and finely wrinkled. Oil-producing (sebaceous) glands grow less active leaving your skin drier. The number of blood vessels in your skin decreases, your skin becomes more fragile, and you lose your youthful color and glow.
Good skin care — such as avoiding the sun, washing your skin gently and applying moisturizer regularly — can help delay the natural aging process and prevent many skin problems.. These simple skin-care habits will help you protect your skin to keep it healthy and glowing for years to come.
1. Protect yourself from the sun
The best way to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. Ultraviolet light — the invisible but intense rays of the sun — damages your skin, causing deep wrinkles, dry, rough skin, liver spots, and more serious disorders, such as noncancerous (benign) and cancerous (malignant) skin tumors.
For the most complete sun protection, use all three of these methods:
Avoid the sun during high-intensity hours. The sun's rays are most damaging from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Reduce the time you spend outdoors during these hours.
Wear protective clothing. Cover your skin with clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. Also, keep in mind that certain clothing styles and fabrics offer better protection from the sun than do others.. For example, long-sleeved shirts offer better protection than short-sleeved shirts do. And tightly woven fabrics such as denim are better than loosely woven fabrics such as knits.
Use sunscreen. Apply sunscreen liberally 20 minutes before going outdoors and reapply every two hours, after heavy sweating or after being in water.
2. Don't smoke
Smoking can accelerate the normal aging process of your skin, contributing to wrinkles. Skin changes from smoking can be seen in young adults who have been smoking for as few as 10 years.
Smoking causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin. This decreases blood flow, depleting the skin of oxygen and nutrients, such as vitamin A, that are important to skin health. All of these factors increase damage to the elastic fibers (elastin) and collagen which give your skin strength and elasticity.
In addition, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — may contribute to wrinkles. It's also possible that repeated exposure to the heat from burning cigarettes may damage your facial skin over time.
3. Wash your skin gently
Cleaning is an essential part of caring for your skin. The key is to treat your skin gently.
Use warm water and limit bath time. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time to about 15 minutes or less, and use warm, rather than hot, water.
Avoid strong soaps. Strong soaps — those most capable of stripping oil from your skin — can leave your skin dry. Instead, choose mild soaps with oils and fats added to them during the soap manufacturing process.
Avoid irritating additives. If your skin is sensitive, avoid products containing perfumes or dyes. These can irritate your skin and may trigger an allergic response.
Remove eye makeup carefully. Use a soft sponge, cotton cloth or cotton balls when removing eye makeup to avoid damaging the delicate tissue around your eyes. If you wear heavy, waterproof makeup, you may need to use an oil-based product such as petroleum jelly.
Pat dry. After washing or bathing, gently pat or blot your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on the skin. Immediately moisturize your skin with an oil or cream.
4. Moisturize regularly
Moisturizers help maintain your skin's natural moisture levels. They work by providing a seal over your skin — to keep water from escaping — or by slowly releasing water into your skin.
The moisturizer that's best for you and the frequency with which you need to moisturize depends on many factors, including your skin type, your age and whether you have specific conditions such as acne. A good way to test if you need a moisturizer is to wait 20 minutes after bathing. If your skin feels tight, you should apply a moisturizer.
Select a moisturizer with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 to help protect your skin from damaging ultraviolet rays. If you have sensitive skin, look for products free of heavy dyes, perfumes or other additives. If your skin is very dry, you may want to apply an oil, such as baby oil, while your skin is still moist. Oil has more staying power than moisturizers do and prevents the evaporation of water from the surface of your skin. If your skin is oily, you may want to skip moisturizing.
5. Shave carefully
Shaving is a common and inexpensive way to remove unwanted hair. But shaving can cause skin irritations, especially if your skin is thin, dry or very sensitive. For a smooth shave:
Press a warm wash cloth on your skin before shaving to soften the hair. Or shave after a warm bath or shower.
Don't shave dry skin, which can cause razor burn. Apply shaving cream, lotion or gel before shaving to protect and lubricate your skin.
Use a clean, sharp razor. If using an electric razor, don't use the closest setting, which can irritate the skin.
Shave in the direction of hair growth, not against it.
Rinse your skin afterwards with warm water.
If irritation does occur, apply a lotion that doesn't contain ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. Though alcohol and alcohol-based products may feel cooling, they don't really soothe irritated skin because the alcohol evaporates rapidly from the skin..

Dieting on the Job
We probably don't need to tell you how tough it is to lose weight whenyou sit at a desk all day, five days a week. What's a dieter to do?"Weight control is simply a mathematical equation," says Melinda Hemmelgarn, MS, RD, nutritionist at the University of Missouri. "To loseweight, you must burn more calories than you take in." If you sit at adesk all day, you're sedentary and more likely to snack, which may make it difficult to win the calorie contest.The solution is to make the most of your desk's diet potential. Wesurveyed weight-loss experts and dieters who've done it. Here are thetricks they believe work best. =Snack wisely. "A lot of people snack while they sit at the computer,"says Hemmelgarn. If you're one of them, be prepared. Keep healthyoptions handy so you don't rush off for an emergency visit to the vending machine. Bring fresh fruit, veggies and salsa to work. Onedieter's smart suggestion: Keep snacks not at your desk, but stowed awayin a file cabinet. Out of sight, out of mind. If that strategy doesn't work for you, only bring the amount you want to eat each day.=Drink up. As with healthy foods, keep enough water at your desk andyou'll easily drink your six 8-ounces glasses by the end of the day.Keep a bottle or glass full of fresh water next to your computer at alltimes.=Plan lunch. "I eat half of my lunch at 11:30; then, when themid-afternoon munchies hit, I eat the other half," suggests one dieter. Schedule your lunch to protect against cravings. Also, says Hemmelgarn,it's best to bring your lunch from home - that way, you can control yourportions and keep track of exactly how many calories you consume. =Portion Patrol. In this age of "supersizing," prepacking your meals incontainers will help you eat reasonable servings. "Get to know trueserving sizes, and plan meals with that in mind," says Jean Anliker, director of the Nutrition Education Program at the University ofMassachusetts, Amherst.A good guide to follow: One ounce of meat isabout the size of the average thumb, 2-3 ounces is about the size of apalm, and a cup of cereal or rice is about the size of a fist. =Move! "Even if it's just 10 minutes of exercise at a time," says LeanneWagner, a certified personal trainer in Los Angeles, "get up and movewhenever possible." Here are some ideas: Eat your lunch at a park a few blocks away, and walk there instead of driving. Walk to a colleague'sdesk rather than e-mailing or calling. Take the stairs instead of theelevator.Park as far away from the front door as possible.Include exercise breaksin your calendar. Treat them just as you would any other appointment -you have to be there! Place your wastepaper basket far away from yourdesk so you'll have to move to throw away garbage.Place your phone outof reach so you'll have to stretch or even get up to answer it.=Exercise during off hours. Get in exercise before and after work tooffset all that sedentary time at your computer. "If you don't live too far, think about walking to work," suggests Wagner. "And if that's notpossible, instead of spending an extra hour sitting in traffic, find agym near your office and go there instead. Once you're done exercising, rush hour will be over and you'll still be home at the same time."=Work out with friends. Get your co-workers in on the weight-loss game.That way, you can encourage each other throughout the day, have healthy lunches together and exercise together on breaks. Try organizing anat-work exercise or diet group. See if your company is willing to giveyou space and even funds for equipment (mats, weights, etc.).Nothing is possible for the unwilling

Treating Gall Bladder Disorders naturally
Gall Bladder stores bile (secreted by the liver) and assists in the digestion and absorption of fats and minerals. Disturbances in the composition of bile can cause inflammation that irritates the lining of gall bladder and leads to stone formation.
Symptoms of Gall Bladder Disorders
Feeling full after meals.
Nausea, indigestion.
Constipation, gas.
Disturbed vision.
Anemia, acne, dizziness, jaundice, intolerance to fats, conditions like breakdown of capillaries, hemorrhoids and varicose veins and other disorders are associated with it.
Causes of Gall Bladder Disorders
Digestive disturbance is the main cause.
Excessive intake of fats and refined carbohydrates regularly promotes it.
Heredity factors, bad posture, displacement of the spine, muscular tension, stress and poor health, are other factors.
Types of Gall Stones – Depending on the cause of their formation there are 3 types
Cholesterol Stones – change in ratio of cholesterol to bile salts.
Pigment Stones – caused by the destruction of R.B.C.
Mixed Stones – formed by stagnation of bile flow.
Natural Cure of Gall Bladder Disorders
For Acute Gall Bladder inflammation, fast for 2-3 days on water. Followed by carrot, beet, lemon or grape juice for few days. The patient should eat small frequent meals with essential nutrients.
Diet to be followed –
On arising – fresh fruit juice or warm water mixed with lemon juice and honey.
Breakfast – skimmed powder milk, 2 slices of whole meal toast and fresh fruit.
Mid morning – fresh fruit juice.
Lunch – vegetable soup, vegetable salad with lemon dressing.
Dinner – brown rice, lightly cooked vegetables, baked potato, vegetable juice and 1 glass of buttermilk.
Water Treatment – Cold hip bath improves abdominal tone, hot fomentation or packs to the upper abdominal area helps ease gallstone colic.
