Question:
How can I reduce the fat of my stomarch? |
| |
Answer:
If you are prone to store fat around your stomach, the healthiest solution is the combination of proper diet and exercises.
The first thing you need to realize is that it is impossible to "spot reduce" fat from one specific part of the body. Fat loss occur systemically, meaning that you can't control where the fat comes from. When you burn fat for energy, you will draw it from all areas of the body.many people labor away month after month trying to exercise specific areas of their body with the idea that fat will be burned directly off the area working.
The best way to burn fat through exercise is to do more cardiovascular exercise. Aerobic exercise is the secret to burn fat. Walking, jogging, bicycling and stair climbing are all great fat burners. In order to get the optimum benefit from these exercises, you have to work out for 30-60 minutes per session. Most people give up too early in the workout. During the first 20-30 minutes of aerobic activity, glycogen (the stored carbohydrate) is the primary fuel source. If you stop after 20 minutes, you're only half way done because you don't burn significant amount of fat. The key to maximum fat loss is to work out aerobically for 30-60 miuntes continuosly per session. You should do this at least 3 or 4 days per week.
Even if you're doing exercise everyday, without a good diet, you still won't see results. Fat loss is a 50% exercise, 50% nutrition combination. A fat loss diet must be low in calories. Regardless of how much you work out, if the amount of calories you take is greater than the amount you bun, you'll still put on body fat. Ideally, you should spread your calories out into 5 small meals a day instead of 2 or 3 big ones so that you don't overeat, Eat variety of food, low in fat and sugar, wioth about 55% of the calories coming from carbohydrate, 30% from protein and 15% from fat.
Remember, losing fat takes time. Be patient and don't expect to get "ripped" overnight.

Question:
how to get whitening |
| |
Answer:
Whitening care is not simply about transforming the dark, tanned skin into white/light one. It is about making the skin clean and translucent without freckles, blemishes and discolorations, against harmful UV rays, stress, and environmental pollution. The real meaning of skin whitening is to make the freckled, blemished and uneven skin tone into a brighter, more clear and translucent one.
Curently, BRAND'S does not have any product specifically for skin whitening. Some useful tips for your reference:
1. Clean and careful cleansing is the basic: since skin tone is likely to get darker due to dead cells accumulated on the skin surface, it is essential to remove unnecessary old dead cells and impurities thoroughly for clear and transparent skin in the basic step. Use a good, gentle cleanser that cleanses thoroughly twice a day to cleanse your face. It will accelerate turnover of the skin.
2. Prevent sunrays completely: sunrays do not only make your skin darker, resulting in freckles in spots, they can also give you skin cancer. In addition, your skin is likely to lose moisture in the surface, resulting in dryness if exposed to sunlight without any protection. Don't step out without loading on that sunscreen particularly between 12:00 to 2:00 when the sun is at its peak.
3. Eat sufficient fresh fruits and vegetables: vitamin is an essential element in keeping your skin healthy since it can suppress freckles by providing sufficient nutrients and moisture to your skin. In particular, intake of fruits that are rich in Vitamin C such as orange and grape is not only helpful in whitening but also in preventing skin troubles against harmful rays of the sun.
4. Try to stay away from processed foods. Also try to limit your intake of sugar foods like pop and candy or foods that have gone through a frying process.
5. Drink water. It flushes out your toxins and is great for the skin, liver and just about every conceivable body organ! It keeps you cool and feeling fresh, reduces dehydration and rejuvenates your body cells. Drink at least ten glasses of water in a day.
6. Adquate rest: Skin is most active from 22:00 to 02:00. Sleeping during this time will make your skin healthier. Use the mask (or any facial treatment products) before going to bed will reap the best results.
For a great homemade face softener, try this: mash a banana and apply it to your face. Leave on for ten minutes and wash off with lukewarm water. Your face feels like satin. Plus, it puts those over ripe gooey bananas to good use!
7. Avoid smoking. Next to sun exposure, smoking is the highest factor in wrinkling. Smokers have more wrinkles than people who don't smoke. Cigarette smoke releases free radicals that break down the vitamin C in the skin and contribute to premature wrinkling. Nicotine also causes small blood vessels and capillaries to contract, diminishing circulation and depriving the skin of nutrients.
8. Exercise improves blood circulation and improves the tone of the skin, resulting in a healthy glow. It also improves the skin's elasticity, strength and firmness. Exercise is another great way to keep your skin strong and healthy.
Cheers!

Question:
What kind of vitamin can I take to give me beautiful skin ? My skin is very dry due to the long hours in air cond room. Pls advise. |
| |
Answer:
Diet Recommendations for Dry Skin
· Antioxidants. Vitamins such as C, E and beta-carotene can help protect and repair skin exposed to pollutants and UV rays. Consume plenty of yellow and orange vegetables.
· Your body doesn't produce omega-3s — instead you obtain them from food or supplements. The best dietary sources are fatty fish or fish oil capsules — particularly salmon and salmon oil — flaxseeds and flaxseed oil, walnuts, and soybean and canola oils. Some dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and broccoli contain modest amounts of omega-3s. Incorporating these foods into your diet helps keep skin soft and supple, but it does even more for your overall health.
· Eat foods rich in pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), such as quark, raw. milk cheese, natural plain yogurt, kefir, leafy green vegetables, nutritional yeast and wheat germ. Pantothenic acid is need for the synthesis of fats and oils used by the skin.
· Drink at least 2 quarts of quality water every day to keep the skin well hydrated.
· Avoid fried foods, animal fats, and heat-processed vegetable oils. Heating oils leads to the production of free radicals, which have a destructive effect on the skin.
· Do not drink soft drinks or eat sugar, chocolate, potato chips, or other junk foods.
· Avoid alcohol and caffeine. These substances have a diuretic effect, causing the body and skin cells to lose fluids and essential minerals.
· Evening primrose oil supplements are beneficial for skin. They contain gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid reputed to strengthen skin cells and boost their moisture content.
Health supplements that are beneficial for skin health:
BRAND's Evening Primrose Oil with Essence of Chicken. Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) is the richest source of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that body converts to a hormone-like substance called prostaglandin EI (PGEI), which helps to enhance feminine health, relieving pre-menstrual stress (PMS) and also helps to strengthen the outer layer of skin by preventing loss of water from the skin. Thus improving skin conditions.
Some tips that may be helpful:
· Keep baths or showers short.
· Use warm (not hot) water.
· Avoid using harsh soaps that dry the skin.
· Dry your skin thoroughly but gently -- pat, DON'T rub.
· Apply a moisturizer to the skin. The best time to do this is immediately after a bath or shower so that the moisturizer holds in the moisture from the shower.
· Avoid coming in contact with highly alkaline soaps and detergents like washing sodas and powders which contain highly alkaline and drying ingredients.
· Apply a spray of mineral water on your skin misted on with a plant sprayer
Get sufficient sleep as the skin's cellular repair activity is at its optimum during this resting phase.
Exercise benefits skin as it boosts circulation and encourages blood flow. Regular exercise will nourish and cleanse your skin from within.
Do not smoke. Smoking has a harmful effect on the skin for several reasons. Nicotine constricts the blood vessels, including the tiny capillaries that serve the skin. This deprives the skin of the oxygen and nutrients it needs for good health. Smoking also can make the skin dry and leathery.
As much as possible, stay out of the sun. The sun is responsible for most of the damage done to the skin. It causes dryness, wrinkles, and even rashes and blisters. Always apply a good sunscreen to all exposed areas of skin if you must be in the sun.
