Only once you quit making excuses will you quit smoking!

Just listen to anybody who smokes and quite regularly you'll hear things like "I'm going to try and quit smoking, just as soon as I (fill in the blank)". Perhaps you've heard them say these things a number of times and now you just don't listen. Know what I mean?

First things first. Get out a notepad and spend some time writing down the exact reasons that are driving you to rid yourself of this habit. Then once you are done with that, turn the page over and jot down all the reasons (excuses) you might make to justify why you haven't.

Just putting excuses down on paper so that they are something solid you can see is enough to make some people look at how silly they really are. For others, they may have to analyze their list of excuses and figure out why they believe these reasons to be true. Usually it is due to repetition. You've been telling yourselves for years that these are the reasons why you smoke, and if you tell yourself something enough times, eventually it will become an ingrained belief, whether it is the truth or not.

I've listed some of the more common excuses here, but ultimately it is your responsiblity to list EVERY reason you think keeps you smoking.

"Smoking helps to keep me thin."

The blunt answer to this one is 'who cares!' Studies have shown that you are better off to be 70+ pounds overweight than to smoke when it comes to your health, but that's not a goal you are looking to attain either. The truth is that yes, some people do gain weight after quitting, but this is usually less than twenty pounds and if that frightens you, then this problem can be easily remedied by careful and detailed planning before you quit. Get it through your mind that you are not going to substitute food for cigarettes and if you do, it is healthy foods like celery, carrots and fruit, not candy bars, chips and other 'comfort food'.

"Smoking makes me happy."

If that were truly so, then chances are you wouldn't be sitting there now gathering information on quitting, would you? Don't worry. I'm not picking on you. I used to say the very same thing. Making statements such as this creates one major issue. And that is the fact that the more times you say it, the more you become to believe it. I've said it before. So time to come clean and be honest with yourself, is smoking really that enjoyable or is it just a fallacy you've convinced yourself to be true? What is it that you think smoking gives you? More money, better health and cleaner, fresher breath? Looking at it from that angle and writing down the answers will show you that you really don't enjoy smoking that much at all.

The thing is that I am not trying to come across as mean or condescending, so please don't take what I am saying the wrong way. No, what I am trying to do is be truly helpful by telling you that none of the excuses that you are currently using or have used in the past do anything for you other than keep you smoking and once you come to terms with this fact, the easier quitting will be.

Trust in yourself and you'll find that you already have what it takes to beat these lies.

Quick Tips to Achieve Fast Weight Loss

Published on November 23, 2008 in Weight Loss. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , , .
by Cristina Conley

Allow me to go out on a short limb here and say: dieting works . . . at least in the short term. But you can improve the effectiveness of most diets and improve your long-term odds of success by mastering a few easy lifestyle additions.

Over the past years, I've put together a long list of simple lifestyle changes that combine to form a practical, long-term approach to dieting. Add a few of these changes to your present routine one at a time until they become habit. Before long, you'll notice better, more lasting results if you truly absorb these changes. Plus, they'll help jump-start any fast weight lose diet.

Ice cold water: drink an ice-cold glass of water (make it at least a pint) when you first wake up and before each meal. Your body will be forced to raise the water to your body temperature, burning a few extra calories in the process. Plus, it will make you feel fuller when you eat and help keep you properly hydrated.

Add negative calorie foods: there are a handful of foods out there that consume more energy when burned than are contained within the foods themselves; i.e. they have a net negative caloric impact. Try adding asparagus, broccoli, blueberries, beets, radishes, cucumbers, strawberries, tomatoes, and similar foods.

Evening lockdown: don't eat for at least two hours prior to your bedtime. Preferably, make your final "meal" of the day a light salad to tide you over until bedtime. There's no sense consuming calories that will not be burned efficiently as your metabolism slows (this is especially true in the winter time).

Move your workouts: move your evening workouts to the morning. Not only are you more likely to complete your workout, but your body will burn only fat (and a little muscle) if you don't eat before you workout. Plus, you'll feel good all day and jump start your metabolism! Just make sure you exercise. Muscle burns calories, so build muscle to help achieve quick diet loss.

Eat brown foods: try to stay away from processed foods or foods that increase your blood sugar. Whole wheat bread, sweet potatoes, brown rice are good substitutes for white bread, potatoes, and white rice.

3:1 deficit-to-normal ratio: after three days at a caloric deficit, add a higher-calorie day. If you're dieting at a 30 percent deficit for 3 days (e.g. 2400 calorie diet dropping to 1650 calories), make the fourth day a 10 percent deficit. That is, in this example, consume an extra 510 calories on every fourth day. This will nip any plateaus in the bud

Remember, for maximum effectiveness, add these habits into your current fast weight loss plan. When you stop dieting, retain these habits for the long-term to help you keep off the weight it took so long to lose. It's always easier to maintain than to lose!

How Can Hoodia Help You Get Six Pack Abs?

Published on November 23, 2008 in Weight Loss. 4 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , .
by Vince Delmonte

If you are anxious to get fat loss going, you've likely looked into the diet supplement, hoodia. Hoodia gordonii is a plant that was used in South African many years ago by hunters who would need to go for long durations of time without food and grows very slowly in harsh conditions and needs to be harvested for four to five years before it's ready.

But how well does Hoodia really work for fat loss? Many people turn to hoodia thinking it is the answer to all their prayers. Never hungry? Sounds like a dietary dream. After all, following a diet should be easy if you never have any feelings of hunger, shouldn't it?

Unfortunately, it isn't so simple.

First off, if you are a trying to get a lean, sexy midsection, not eating is the last thing you want to be doing. Sure, you definitely will need to eat less in order to lose body fat, but if you aren't eating enough, you'll actually just lose muscle rather than body fat. Since muscle tissue is your calorie burning engine, destroying it would be counterproductive to getting the results you want.

Who wants a slower metabolism at the end of the day? That'll just make further fat loss next to impossible.

If hoodia is affecting your natural hunger signals, it will be hard to get in the foods that you do need - the foods that will work with your body to lose the body fat while still keeping muscle tissue intact.

Secondly, you must understand that hoodia is not a thoroughly tested product and cannot be deemed safe. If you take enough of it, it can actually damage your metabolism, causing a variety of thyroid issues that will be stuck with you into the future. While fat loss and getting abs is important, you must do it a healthy way so that you don't do anything disrupting to your health.

Finally, hoodia diet pills are by no means a proper method to losing abdominal fat. In order to lose abdominal fat, you're going to have to find a method that will be sustainable over the long term. If you think that you're just going to skip eating for the years to come, you are very mistaken. You will not get the proper nutrients you need to sustain life, therefore, to put it bluntly, using hoodia as a means to help you maintain fat loss could very well put you in the hospital with severe malnutrition.

What you need is a diet that supplies all the nutrients you need, while still being affective with stomach fat loss. Then, you'll also need to make sure this diet is something you can work into your lifestyle so that your abs aren't going to be just covered up by more body fat again once you move off the diet.

The more time you waste chasing after gimmicky supplements that only hurt you in the long run, the more time you spend without the results you are after.

Dealing with acne can be horribly frustrating. Each year millions of people try to get rid of pimples by buying various acne treatments, however hardly anything seems to work. However, there are natural acne treatments that work as long as they follow the "golden rule" of treating your skin.

Ever wondered why the acne products you find in the stores don't work? It's actually quite simple - they are designed to treat your acne at the actual root of the problem.

Rather than treating the causes of acne, they try to "zap zits" that are already on your skin. However, they don't do anything to prevent new acne breakouts from happening. What's the point in getting rid of one pimple if you know another one is just around the corner?

To truly cure your acne, you have to treat all of the cause of acne. This sounds like a pretty basic concept, yet most of the products out there ignore this "special rule".

It's important to know the major causes of acne breakouts - let's take a quick look:

1) Specific Acne-Causing Bacteria

2) Excess Oil on the Skin (caused by hyperactive skin glands)

3) Skin Pores that are Clogged

4) Inflammation of your skin

In order to get rid of pimples for good, you need to make sure you are treating all of these causes. To do this you will need to find an acne treatment solution that works as a system to address each one.

You can read reviews on the top-rated natural acne treatments by following the link at the bottom of this article. You will notice that they all treat acne by attacking each one of the major causes.

Make sure you don't let yourself "give up" if you have tried different acne treatments that didn't work in the past. Considering 98% of the products out there don't work it's normal that you would have tried something that failed to clear your skin.

Just make sure that from now on you are using a treatment that treats all of the causes of acne. It's amazing how quickly you will see results once you are treating your skin this way.

It's a great feeling to look in the mirror and see clear skin when you wake up. By looking for natural acne treatments that attack acne at the root of the problem, you will clear your skin quickly and say goodbye to acne once and for all.

Looking Your Best with Neck Liposuction

Published on November 18, 2008 in Beauty. Closed Tags: , , , , , , , , , .
by Victoria Rowde

Only specific localized fats in different areas are qualified for liposuction. Aside from common liposuction areas like your hips, thighs and abdomen, you can also ask your doctor to perform a neck liposuction. What does this procedure involve?

What it is For

Your face is often the first part of your body that people notice. Your neck however also becomes a point for observation because of its closeness to the face. When we reach ages above thirty, we often notice changes in this part of our bodies. Sometimes even exercise and diet will not be able to reduce the fatty thickening of the neck. You may therefore choose to simply cover up with special clothes and accessories to hide your neck of your can choose to undergo neck liposuction. A good neck liposuction procedure will be able to fix your double chin problem.

Consultation

Your surgeon would probably want to know your goals for planning to undergo a neck liposuction. A surgeon would then typically explain what will happen during the procedure and whether your expectations are realistic. You should also make sure to ask about possible risks involved in the procedure.

Your doctor will ten evaluate your physical condition as well as your medical history to see if you are qualified for the procedure. Age, skin elasticity, emotional stability and physical health are crucial factors in determining your eligibility for neck liposuction. Older people with sagging skin, people with poor skin elasticity and those with serious diseases or medical conditions may not be good candidates for this procedure.

The Procedure

During neck liposuction the surgeon will first mark and make incisions either behind the ear lobes or under the chin. A cannula will then be inserted and will suck out the excess fat through a tube and vacuum pump. To reduce fluid loss and reduction an intravenous line will supply you with sufficient fluids. During the procedure your surgeon may give you local anesthesia paired with a sedative or general anesthesia depending on your condition and preference. The neck liposuction procedure may last for an hour.

What Next?

Like liposuction from other parts of the body, expect some bruising, numbness, bleeding, swelling and pain after neck liposuction. You may be taken in only as an outpatient though and will be allowed to go home after a few hours. You may actually have a sore neck for several weeks and you may be required to wear a neck compressor for a few weeks as you recuperate.

Once your neck liposuction is healed, you may notice excess skin and skin sagging. This is especially true among people with poor skin elasticity. The procedure can do nothing to improve poor skin quality and muscle tone. To prevent unsightly sagging from developing, you should discuss with your surgeon the possibility of combining neck liposuction with a neck lift to remove possible excess skin after the procedure. A combination procedure may be more expensive but it can improve the appearance of firmness of your neck.

It is always best to ask your doctor about the probable chances of getting a slimmer, more improved neck before liposuction. If you suspect that your skin is no longer elastic then it may be a better idea to stay away from the procedure altogether.

Anti Aging Skin Care Is Important For Everyone

Published on November 17, 2008 in Skin Care. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , , , , .
by Ellen Jones

Everyone ages and, as we age, certain things become problems. Some of us lose our hearing or our sight. Most of us begin to slow down and tire out easily. All of us, though, are bound to develop some sort of skin problems.

When we think of skin problems that come with aging, the obvious one that comes to mind is wrinkling. Skin wrinkles are a very common problem for anyone over 30. If the skin isn't nourished enough, it can cause wrinkling. Of course, spending too much time in the sun can also make matters worse faster, too.

Some people are just determined to look younger. They can't stand the appearance of wrinkles. Such people can often resort to surgery, to achieve a younger look. Most, though, try wrinkle creams either instead of surgery or before resorting to surgery. The trouble is that not everyone has success with wrinkle creams.

There are two main types of wrinkle creams. How well they work is still a subject that is open to debate. The first type is actually meant to heal and nourish the skin. By providing the nourishment that the skin needs to heal, it is said to help clear up wrinkles and make a person's skin much stronger. By regenerating and healing the skin, it can give the skin a much younger appearance.

Then, there's the second type of wrinkle cream. This anti aging skin care product is really more of a patching product. It's good for a spur of the moment event where a person wants the fast appearance of clear skin. It's designed, much like makeup, to simply cover up a person's wrinkles, not to actually revitalize the skin.

If you want to explore other anti aging skin care options, besides just creams and lotions, though, don't worry. There are plenty to pick from. Botox injections, for example, might seem more appropriate to you. Botox injections are designed to stretch the skin properly and give it a fuller, healthier look.

Cosmetic surgery is another option for wrinkle removal. Cosmetic surgery is meant to stretch out the skin, by removing some skin and pulling the rest together. You should only consider it as a last effort, though. Any surgery at all can be risky and expensive.

Every anti aging skin care technique is different. So, it's important to factor in everything, including how permanent the solution is, what the cost is and what the risks may be. Once you choose the best wrinkle removal technique for your particular needs, you can turn back the clock and look much younger and healthier.

Considering Breast Augmentation in Nashville

Published on November 16, 2008 in Cosmetics. Closed Tags: , , , , , .
by Andrew W John

There's any number of reasons why a breast augmentation procedure may be undertaken. Some women have the procedure to boost self confidence. Others merely want to look better in their clothes, still others choose it as a method to feel more feminine. No matter your motive for seeking breast augmentation; to restore yourself to a pre-pregnancy state, to repair damage due to injuries or mastectomy, it can make you feel better about yourself, which is certainly a valid reason.

Not all of us were fortunate to have born with an ideal, perfectly proportionate body. This is something that can be addressed by a breast augmentation, if your breasts are felt to be out of proportion to your body. This is not an uncommon concern; it is not only wanting to look good in that little black dress that makes women feel the need for a breast augmentation procedure. No matter why you are considering the surgery, talking to your doctor about it should be the first step.

Having a consultation with a medical professional can be the best way to evaluate whether or not you really want to undergo the surgical procedure. Your doctor will thoroughly discuss the whys and wherefores of the procedure, along with your reasoning on why you feel a breast augmentation may be for you. After all, this is far more complicated and permanent than a change in hairstyle or wardrobe, and should be carefully considered before being undertaken. This is about your self confidence and being comfortable in your own skin.

You'll also learn during the consultation process what breast augmentation can actually accomplish. You'll find out if your expectations are realistic for the results of the surgery. Your doctor in any case can educate you all about the options that exist.

Ask yourself: Why am I considering this procedure? Is it for me, or to please someone else? If the conclusion is someone else, think very carefully about this. This is, after all your body, and there is no reason to have this surgery done if it's not something that is going to make you happier to see yourself in the mirror every day.

There are other requirements for having breast augmentation surgery. All surgery, regardless of the type is not an option for everyone. This is equally as true here. You need to be healthy and have realistic expectations of what augmentation can do for you. You also need to be an adult. It is important that before having breast augmentation that your breasts are fully developed.

Don't be shy about speaking with your doctor. You're going to need to be honest with them, and with yourself about this procedure and your reasons for wanting it. Be prepared to tell your physician exactly why you want the surgery and what you want out of it.

At your consultation you need to be ready to discuss with your doctor when you want to have the surgery. You need to fully disclose any and medical conditions you have and are being treated for. Make sure if you are taking medications you bring a list of them with you. This list needs to include any holistic and natural supplements that you are taking. Be prepared to tell of any other surgeries you have had and if you have any family history of breast cancer as well as any results from any mammograms or breast related surgeries you have had.

Once you and your physician both are armed with all of the facts, a well informed, thoroughly thought out decision can be made about the possibility of a breast augmentation procedure.

Teeth Enamel Repair: Do It The Natural Way

Published on November 16, 2008 in Women's Issues. Closed Tags: , , , , , , .
by Jim Hofman

For your best and brightest smile, you'll need healthy teeth enamel. Even with all of the advances in cosmetic dentistry, a bright white smile still comes down to healthy, clean enamel.

What Is Enamel?

Enamel is the hardest tissue found in the body, and it's made up of minerals, mostly calcium. Enamel covers the surface of the tooth, which is made up of another softer mineral tissue called dentin.

Unfortunately, enamel cannot regenerate. Once enamel is lost due to poor dental care practices, it's gone for good. If your enamel is too far depleted, you'll generally need to proceed to a more complex dental procedure like porcelain veneers, which require an implant.

How Should I Care For My Teeth Enamel?

The best strategy is to keep your teeth enamel healthy and avoid behaviors that weaken enamel. We recommend a flouride and enamel strengthening rinse. Fortunately, there are many mouthwashes that combine breath freshening with enamel protecting properties. They're available at any drug store, as are enamel strengthening toothpastes. Of course, an overall strategy of good oral health will help.

There are also several foods that serve as a natural abrasive, thereby helping to clean your teeth and preserve enamel. Apples are one of the best, along with carrots, celery, and pears. These foods have added benefits in terms of being high fiber, low calorie choices.

To summarize, tried and true natural methods are your best bet to preserve healthy, strong teeth enamel. Practice good oral hygiene, take advantage of flouride and enamel strengthening rinses, and avoid foods and drinks that damage your teeth.

Discover If Your Type Of Acne Will Leave A Scar

Published on November 16, 2008 in Cosmetics. Closed Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , .
by Steve Meyer

Often, the acne that you have may sometimes be just a pimple that contains a bit of trapped pus consisting of sebum, dead skin cells and white blood cells. But, it can be a lot more serious. By knowing what type you have is the key to finding a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Usually you will notice a bump that has come through the surface of the skin. A pustule, is filled with pus, contains a mixture of bacteria, white blood cells and dead skin cells. Grade Three is more severe than the ones mentioned above. There will be quite a bit more of the papules or pustules which will be read and inflamed. Grade Four includes nodules and cysts and is even more severe. Usually, other parts of the body will be covered due to it being widespread, not just the face.

Acne congoblata, is even more severe than the ones we have mentioned. This type is accompanied by acne that is deeper into the skin, with lots of inflammation, and deep sores. This results in scars and other types of serious skin damage.

The following can happen as the acne gets progressively worse. Inflamed nodules will form around comedones-a general term for blackheads, whiteheads, and milia. Eventually after the nodules grow, they will start to discharge pus. And, as if the appearance being affected isn't enough, they can be accompanied with pain. Also, Keliod-type scars are usually a result from all these things.

Acne can also take on the form of acne fulminans. With this type, you have a fever, along with aching joints. Because, of the seriousness of this, you will probably take non-steroidal ant-inflammatory drug treatments. Unfortunately, these drugs help deal with the symptoms, not cure the cause of the problem.

Finally, the last severe form is called nodulocystic acne. Red bumps (cysts) form and the bumps can become close enough together to even form a more inflamed area. This can also lead to small tunnels being formed under the skin in which the infection spreads rampantly. Accutane and a treatment of antibiotics can be used when the problem is this severe.

It's a good idea to make an appointment with a doctor as well as a dermatologist so they can find what course of treatment will right for you.
