Welcome to Healthy Living!
Most of us want to live a healthier life, but it is sometimes a daunting task trying to sift through the often-conflicting information we are given, in an effort to find what will work for us. We have all heard the ongoing debate about whether low-carb diets are healthy or bad for us and the varied opinions about which carbs we should be eating. There is the accepted opinion that coffee/caffeine has a harmful effect on your life and then the newer opinion that it is actually beneficial. The same is true for alcohol - red wine to be specific - does it kill brain cells or does is that negated due to the positive, healthy effects it seems to have on the heart? These debates are only the tip of the iceberg . . .
While the previous issues address what we should and shouldn't be eating, there is also the question of what to do if we have developed some ill effects (not feeling well, no energy, weight gain, disease) and want to reverse them. There are so many possible solutions. Do we fast - and if so what kind of fast (juice, water, fruit)? Do we need to detox? If so - how? Herbal cleanses, colonics, saunas, body wraps, sea water baths, Epsom salt baths? What herbs will help heal our bodies and in what quantities? And what about the alternative therapies: massage, Reiki, bio-feedback, hypnotherapy, meditation, light therapy, aromatherapy (to name only a few!)? Which of these would help us in our particular situation?
How to make sense of all this information? We would like to have this site be a place to discuss which things have worked for us (or haven't) and hopefully by sharing our experiences we will be able to help each other wade through all the possibilities and find our own paths to a Healthy Life!
Keep your body toned and balanced. There is nothing more beautiful than a body that is toned and balanced. Notice we didn't say thin or having a "model-perfect" body - but toning the body you have! You can be have a toned body even if you have some extra weight you would like to lose! When you are toned - you move differently - you stand taller, hold your head higher, walk more confidently - and it shows! Muscles that are long and toned you will make your look and feel more gorgeous.
Here are some things you can do right now - wherever you are . . .
If you stand up straight and stretch your body upwards from the waist it will make you appear much slimmer and taller. Learn to walk elegantly by swinging your legs from the hips and placing one foot in front of the other as though you are following a straight line. Also the movement should be diagonal i.e. as your left arm swings forward, so should your right leg and as your right arm swings forward, so should your left leg. This will give a definite twist to your torso, look extremely sexy and do wonders for your confidence. Love the wonderful, amazing body that you have!
