Best ways to keep your skin healthy

Image
Skin care is a broad term for keeping your skin in its best condition. As we age, our skin begins to lose elasticity and become less able to keep moisture in without looking dry and flaky. But what does this mean? Well, our skin starts changing before our faces do! Our bodies start producing more oil to lubricate our joints, while our skin produces more sebum to waterproof it and prevent water loss. When we don't cleanse our face often enough, our pores get clogged up with dead skin cells and bacteria. These build up over time, causing acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and oily or congested skin. Luckily, there are many ways to improve your skin's appearance and feel. To help your skin look fresh and young, use a cleanser that is gentle enough not to strip away any natural oils or cause blemishes. Avoid using harsh products that contain abrasive ingredients, like baking soda. Instead, opt for products made with mild ingredients like glycerin and aloe vera. In particular, look for m...

Simple steps to become more mindful

Image
The word "mindfulness" comes from two words “man” (to pay attention) and “focus” (to pay close attention). Mindfulness is about paying attention, without judgment, to what we are doing at any given moment. Mindfulness is not meditation. Meditation focuses our thoughts, attention, and awareness on one thing at a time to achieve some sort of internal peace, calmness, or stillness. We use meditation to relax and clear our minds of things that aren't necessarily negative, like worry and fear. But we don't always want to stop our thought process completely, or even focus only on ourselves, so mindfulness is the practice of being fully present in your current surroundings, whether they are good or bad, peaceful or chaotic. Many people think if they meditate they can become less stressed, anxious, depressed, etc... However, the opposite is true. If you're constantly worrying or thinking about something, then you'll never be able to truly feel happy or relaxed. You...

Meditation: What it is, benefits

Image
The practice of meditation dates back thousands of years before recorded history. Many ancient cultures have incorporated some sort of meditation practice including yoga, tai chi chuan, qi gong, mindfulness, and others. Meditation has been practiced throughout centuries and was commonly performed during the time of the Buddha. Buddhism encourages meditative practices and has many different forms. One of these forms is simply called “meditation”, where the goal is to clear the mind of all thoughts. Different forms of meditation require different strategies depending on what type of meditation you plan to do. I highly encourage everyone to learn how to meditate if they have not already done so. There are many different benefits to practicing meditation; here are just a few. Sleep Better Sleep is often the first thing people think about when they go to bed at night. However, sleep is much more than just dropping off to dreamland. Sleep helps us recuperate from day-to-day activities and gi...

Healthy habits for a better life

Image
Healthy habits start in our childhood years, even before we were born! Every person should have good habits from a young age so they can get their lives back on track if something happens along the way. Here are some tips for healthy habits. Sleep Sleep helps the body repair and rejuvenate at night, making us well-rested during the day. As humans sleep for roughly eight hours each night, being deprived of adequate rest can make us feel sluggish and tired throughout the day. However, not getting enough sleep can have serious consequences. Getting adequate sleep may help boost brain function while helping the body heal from illness and injuries.  Exercise Exercise helps keep our bodies strong and fit, and can improve mental clarity. Regular exercise enhances mood, boosts self-esteem, and increases concentration. In addition to these physical benefits, exercise lowers blood pressure and reduces anxiety levels. Being physically active requires little effort, but having a goal to work t...
