Yoga Builds Bones for Pear Shape woman

Oct 26th, 2007 Leave a comment

After knowing that I am a Pear shape body, I decided to search for information on how to prevent Osteoporosis. Then I got this book – Yoga Builds Bones from library last month. After finish reading this book, I decided to sign up for my yoga session again.

Pratice 2 times of Ghatasth Yoga with Guru Sunil, all I get is aching body. But I believe all the aching will stronger my bone and strengthen my muscle. As we grow older, our body won’t be as strong as young age, and the skin will also generate dead cells faster than get rid of it, isn’t it irritating?

Yoga can warm up our body, so that we won’t feel cold when in the aircon room. I have this problem – cold hands and feets, that really make my life terrible. I can feel that I am getting warmer after 2 sessions. If you want to join me for the same class, email me, lets attend the same class.

If you don’t have spacious nicely decorated room & bathroom with bathrub, then you should forget about doing any home spa.

Oh, you are wrong. See how I start my home spa with very little money. There are several things that I have get recently:

1. Grab 2 bottle of essential oil – lavendar & bergemot, at 50% off from the BodyShop warehouse sale about a month ago, they also give me 2 coconut body scrub sample for trial.

2. Hubby pick up a stone for me to put on top of the stand, as lit up the fire, the stone will be heated, which will make it a unique natural burner.

So indulge with all the things I have at home and just bought from warehouse sale.

1. Set up the burner, put 2-3 drops of my favourate lavendar essential oil on the stone
2. Play the “Most Relaxing Music” CD I have in my collection
3. Sitting in the lotus position to meditate for about 15 mins, then you will start relax your body
4. Bring along the coconut body scrub to the bathroom, carefully scrub every part of my body, and enjoying the coconut scents
5. Once finish the scrub, clean the body and bath. Then go back to the room again.
6. Prepare yourself a hot tea, aroma hot tea will be best choice, enjoying the music while sipping the tea

Isn’t it a simple and less cost home spa? This is how I spend my Sunday afternoon to unwind and destress myself.

Indulge with Hot Stone Massage

I love Hot Stone Massage. I will ask for Hot Stone Massage while I visit the spa that I used to go. It is really a very nice massage that come with warm feeling for person like me, as I have cold hand and feet most of the time.

Hot Stone Massage

What so special about this hot stone massage? The therapist will heated the stones in the water about 54–63°C. All the stone will be placed at specific points on the back, in the palms of the hand, or between the toes. So the heat of the stone will warms and relaxes the muscles, which will improves circulation and calms the nervous system. After that, the therapist will start the massage with oil.

It is a good way to destress and improve our blood circulation. Why do we need to destress and improve our blood circulation?

1. Stress is the major caused of the hormone imbalance, that will bring out the scary breakout problem.

2. Poor circulation will make our skin dry and dull, sure we don’t want that.

Pamper yourself with this Hot Stone Massage atleast once a month, to fresh your mind and soul, to bring out the radiant skin.

I have dry skin on my leg which is the fattest part of my whole body. The only cream in the world that can cure my dry leg is Total Body Lift which suppose for reduce my cellulite.

Lately I have come across this Dry Brushing methods which claimed that it will stimulates circulation and removes dead skin layers. For extra benefit, you will also get a firmer skin.

First you need to get yourself a long handle Bristle brush
(Earth Therapeutics Pure Palm Body Brush Pure Japanese Palm Fibers) Wash your Brush every few Weeks in Water and let it DRY. Skin Brush, before Showering or Bathing, at least ONCE per day, and TWICE, if possible. Do NOT wet Skin, since it will NOT have the SAME Effect, because this stretches the Skin.

For best result, exercise before brushing. Preferable do it in the morning. You will see the difference immediately.

ALWAYS Skin Brush towards the Heart. Do Circular Counter-Clockwise Strokes on the Abdomen. Do LIGHTER Strokes over and around Breasts, but do NOT Brush the Nipples.

Brush the Soles of the Feet FIRST, because the Nerve Endings there affect the WHOLE Body, next Brush the Ankles, Calves, and Thighs, then Brush across your Stomach and Buttocks and lastly Brush your Hands to the Arms.

Brush each part of the Body several times VIGOROUSLY, COMPLETELY Brushing the WHOLE Body.

Dry Brushing

Take a WARM Bath or Shower, which should always be followed by a COOL Rinse at the end to INVIGORATE Blood Circulation and STIMULATE Surface Warmth. Massage your skin with pure plant oil, such as almond, jojoba, sesame or coconut after the bath.

Beauty Tip #8 Trim Fat Bulges with Enzymes

Dec 5th, 2006 Leave a comment

Lipase, lipolytic enzyme, aids the body in breaking down fats. Without this “fat-splitting” enzyme, fat stagnates and accumilates around the waist, hips and buttocks. Enzymes are also being used up faster during illnesses, stressful times, extreme hot or cold weather, lifestyle habits such as drinking coffee and strenuous exercise. This causes a decline in the body’s enzymes level.

The unripe Green Papaya is a rich source of papain, and also contains lipase. Papain enzyme works on inactive cells (protein), which are predominantly found in areas of cellulite. Papain is able to break down these cells into other amino acids, for instance lipase. The lipases play a major role in helping to burn existing fat and increasing the rate of metabolism. It has been used for centuries, and helps to promote a slim healthy body and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
