5 Ways to Look and Feel Younger

Look anywhere in Hollywood, and pick up to read just about any magazine dealing with body health, and you will notice that there is an overwhelming interest in maintaining one’s youth, longevity and vitality. However, not all of us can afford plastic surgery and body augmentation procedures… Wouldn’t it be nice to do something that would make us feel good about ourselves, but in a natural way? Using natural foods and natural products that we could go to the grocery store and buy?

Baking Soda and Water.

Seriously. Most probably wouldn’t have guessed that the health of your teeth is an indicator of your internal and external health. Without using chemicals, special toothpastes and seeking out the services of professionals to whiten your teeth. You will actually be able to find a more natural and more affordable way of getting the same result with baking soda and water. For example, did you know that you can mix baking soda and water together as a natural toothpaste? Brushing with this homemade teeth whitener solution helps removes surface level stains from things like coffee and cigarettes. Unlike some teeth whiteners, baking soda and water isn’t harsh, and will not strip your teeth of their natural protective enamel.

Eggs

Eating eggs are not only a good source of omega-3 fatty acids to boost your protein consumption, you can also use eggs for a natural face mask. Experts specifically state that you should use the egg whites, beating them until they become foamy, and then applying the egg whites, gently, to your face. The key is to let the egg whites stay on your face for between 15 to 20 minutes (or 25-30 minutes, and possibly adding a little citrus to the mixture for a deeper, fuller cleanse). The egg whites mask should be removed from the face using warm water.

Not only are egg whites (and a bit of citrus) good for cleansing the skin and pores, this natural facial mask concoction is great for tightening the skin.

Mayonnaise.

This condiment not only tastes great French fries and sandwiches, it is also great for your hair. If you’re looking to get that shine your hair used to have, back, this is a great natural alternative, instead of using chemicals. Mayonnaise should be applied with a teaspoon of vanilla extract to dry, unwashed hair. Think of it as conditioning your hair prior to getting it wet and prior to washing it with shampoo. As with most conditioners, instructions will usually state, once the conditioner is applied to the hair and combed through to the scalp. That should place a towel or shower cap over your hair, for a more intense, full, deep treatment. Experts will usually suggest leaving on the natural hair solution for 20-30 minutes. However, you can leave it on for an extra 15-20 minutes, if desired. It is suggested that you can add shampoo to your hair to cut back on the natural oiliness of the mayonnaise, finally ending with a thorough rinsing of your hair with cool water. Result: shiny and silky hair.

Coconut Milk.

Speaking of shampoo, did you know that coconut milk can be used as a natural shampoo? Recipes say that you require the following ingredients:
2/3 cups castile soap
1 tsp vitamin E oil
1 tsp coconut oil (microwave for 30 second, or on low heat on stove) until liquefied

Ingredients should be placed together in a container (insure you can place a lid on for shaking and storage), and mix the ingredients thoroughly by shaking the contents of the container very well. You can apply the natural shampoo to your hair as you would with regular shampoo, using a small amount to wash your hair. Due to the potency of the natural shampoo, one mixture should last you a while.

Another thing to add is that depending on the type of hair you have, you may not need to wash your hair every day. For some, washing their hair every day is an absolute must, as oil, grease and dirt gets trapped in their hair quite easily, after just a few days. Other hair types require a happy-medium of well-oiled hair in order to prevent hair from becoming dry and breaking, especially during colder seasons. So while washing one’s hair several times a week can help restore it back to life, washing one’s hair too much can strip hair of its nutrients.

 Iron rich diet

Iron deficiency has been known to produce a pale look, bags and dark circles under the eyes, hair loss and other negative effects. Feeling tired is also a cause of not having enough iron in your diet. Iron is an essential mineral that maintains a normal cellular function in your body. Foods like spinach, kidney beans, clams and mussels, lentils, and tofu are some of many foods that contain a high source of iron. The highest sources are found in lean meats and seafood.

    Can anyone get cosmetic surgery?

With this approach, we can make sure that you will be as safe as possible. We speak with you about your expectations and goals before assessing your medical history and determining the safest, most effective plan.

    What’s the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery?

    The purpose of cosmetic surgery is to reshape the body to improve self-esteem and create a more ideal self-image. On the other hand, the purpose of reconstructive surgery is to address disfigurement, defects, and other abnormalities. These issues may arise after accidents, surgeries to remove tumors, and things of that nature. Another big difference between these two types of surgery is the fact that cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by health insurance, while reconstructive surgery is usually covered.

    What can I expect when I recover from my cosmetic surgery?

    Your recovery experience depends on a number of factors. First of all, the type of procedure you choose may impact your recovery. Some procedures are less extensive and invasive than others, and you will likely experience an easier recovery period as a result. In addition, different patients recover in different ways. Some may require more or less pain medication than others. Your surgeon can prescribe the correct pain medications to help you overcome any discomfort. The good news is that virtually all facial cosmetic procedures involve easy recovery periods.

    How does Botox work?

    Botox injections are designed to reduce or remove visible signs of aging. The most common targets are hyper-functional lines - commonly known as “wrinkles.” These lines result from the contraction of underlying facial musculature, and Botox is effective because it temporarily weakens these muscles and prevents them from contracting. Botox does this without affecting the sensory feeling in these muscles. Botox may take up to 7 days to take full effect, although some patients notice considerable results in as little as 24 hours.

    How do I choose the right size for my breast implants?

    Choosing the right size for your new breast implants is an important decision. The choice is obviously based heavily on your own personal desires and tastes. On the other hand, you also need to take into account a number of additional factors. You might need to consider things like whether you have breastfed heavily in the past, and how this has affected your breasts. Remember, you can also receive cosmetic surgery to make breasts smaller. You can even receive surgery to change the general shape of the breasts without necessarily changing their size.

    How long do I need to take off work?

    You may need to take some time off work after undergoing your cosmetic procedure. Your surgeon will speak with you and let you know how long you need to fully recuperate. In general, most patients should rest for at least a week after receiving cosmetic surgery (less invasive procedures like Botox shouldn’t require any time off work).
