You can stretch on the back in your bed, but the ideal is to be seated, intermediate station between the horizontal and vertical passive force. First, make a few breaths at your own pace, take deep breaths, blocking the few seconds to oxygenate the body and blow up like a big sigh of relief.

Once finished stretching, stay a few seconds to calm, trying to see all the positive moments of the day to come, get up to with optimism.

 

The good reflex: Proceed to the natural vitamin C

To make yourself full of vitality, forget tablets and instead rely on natural energy fruit and vegetables

The decrease is a common tone of the change of season, and vitamin C is so valuable: it helps the immune system, improves absorption of iron, mineral anti important, and has a powerful antioxidant.

 

To keep pace in the long term, it is better to eat each day a little vitamin C after fruits and vegetables, because this natural form is less aggressive for the stomach that the proposed synthetic powder or tablets. In addition, fruits and vegetables contain other vitamins and minerals that work synergistically with it.

Reaching the 110 milligrams per day is recommended within everyone’s reach: just two kiwi fruit or 100 grams of broccoli. The risk of overdose is nonexistent, because the body uses what it needs and eliminates the rest naturally.

Generally, plus a fruit or vegetable is colorful, the better it is rich in vitamin C. Thus, an orange or a grape fruit mango covers about half of our daily needs. All green vegetables are also very well filled. A good way to never fail is to add lemon juice and parsley on fish, vegetables and salads. The juice of half a lemon alone covers almost 20% of our daily needs.

These modified fats raise our cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart attack. Until the health authorities take concrete measures to us to flush.

 

The fatty acids (AG) processing, or “trans” fats are liquids, such as sunflower oil or rapeseed, made solid by adding hydrogen.

 

In 2005, the French Agency for Food Safety (AFSSA) estimated that 5% of the French population had a high intake in “Trans” AG and that this high consumption increased “significantly” the risk of heart attack and stroke.

 

How to reduce their consumption?

 

The primary source of “trans” AG is … the cow, which produces naturally, and forward therefore to milk and meat. However, studies have shown that these acids cattle are less harmful than others. However, better focus on semi-skimmed milk or skimmed, and limit consumption of beef. Other major sources of “trans” AG fats are visible – peanut oil, rapeseed, sunflower and some margarine – but also fat ‘hidden’ confectionery, pastries, cereals and other pizzas.

Listen To The Biorhythms Of Your Skin

Depending on the time of day, month or year, our skin is subject to various biological rhythms which, if we respect them, make it stronger and more receptive to care.

Eager for quick results, on a new cream dropped after that failed would metamorphosis in one week. But the adaptation – new care, new season – disrupts his balance.

 

 In fact, we should not judge the effectiveness of a carefully before a full cycle of cell renewal of twenty-eight days.

 

Seasonal Round

 

They chant the life of the skin, our body is very sensible to climate variations. Use care to cold or heat seems obvious to many of us. What we know less is that the skin suffers particularly in autumn and spring. During those seasons, when changes in temperature and humidity are extreme, it should provide a greater adaptation. Contrary to popular belief, skin supports more extreme temperatures of winter and summer, provided they are constant.

 

Autumn is a transitional phase. The skin becomes pale, loses its tone, and becomes dehydrated. When it is no longer “hidden” by the sun, its true nature and its imperfections reappear: wrinkles, dryness, released redness or, conversely, increased production of sebum…

 

The consequences of sun exposure are felt. This is the ideal time for masks and intensive treatment (serum or blisters). Priority: regenerate with scrubs and strengthen with anti-aging treatment.

In winter, life operates slowly, skin metabolism decreases, the peripheral blood circulation weakens. The skin is “firm” to keep the body’s internal heat. Without sun, Vitamin D lays down harder, which explain the slowing down of cell renewal and loss of brightness. Less receptive, the skin must rest, as the land: no solicitations powerful, but creams rich in fat, for all skins. Priority: food.

Spring is the season for allergies and sensitive skin. If the skin shows its responsiveness, it may also be tired and cluttered by all the toxins accumulated during the winter. This is the right time to achieve lymphatic drainage and cleaning of skin. Priority: appease or purify.

In summer, liquefied oil, the pores expands, the skin sweats and supports less body fat. It needs a good hydration and a good cleaning, notably to eliminate the solar filters. It must also be able to mobilize all its defenses to counter attacks against the sun (not too many scrubs therefore, to preserve its integrity). Priority: to protect and moisturize.

The day-night alternation

Biorhythms is best known in scientific terms. He gave birth to chronobiology, used for cosmetics as medicines.

During the day, the skin defends itself against external aggressions (UV, pollution …). The skin cells detect differences in brightness and adapt, mobilizing their protection mechanisms. The size and volume of corneocytes (dead cells of the stratum corneum) decrease to minimize trade and water losses.

 

The cells are smaller and tight in the day to reinforce the sealing and barrier function of the skin. Cleaning should be soft and protection. Apply every morning a protective day cream which must contain active moisturizers, antioxidants and sunscreens during the summer.

 

At night, the dominant cellular regeneration, when cells divide eight times faster! They are dedicated to the reconstruction of essential components of the skin, damaged during the day. The skin and promotes open all trade, the active ingredients are better absorbed. This is the night that the skin removes its toxins and reconstructs his film hydrolipidic (primarily oil), its reserves of water and nutrients. Around 23 hours, the immune system runs at full speed.

Should we apply a night cream? The opinions of experts differ. “The skin is able to regenerate itself. Covered with cream, it becomes lazy, softens and loses tone. More on the coating of fat, the more it becomes dry and calls.
