Take Care of Your Lips


The hot summer season can actually destroy our lip skin. The heat and sun can dry the skin leaving it rough, chapped, and burnt. Most people find ways to reduce the impact of the summer elements on the skin and hair, but often neglect lip care. Practicing routine lip care can ensure lips stay smooth and soft throughout the summer months. The following lip care tips will help keep your lips healthy and soft.
Apply Lip Balms: Lip balms protect the lips from the sun and other harsh elements. They moisturize and prevent lips from drying and chapping. There are lip balms that are available with SPF protection. Organic lip balms are one of the better choices. Sesame oil is also a good product for comforting the lips. As well, Shea butter helps the skin cells retain moisture and restores elasticity.
Drink Water: When you drink plenty of water during the summer months, your body and skin will stay hydrated. This will also help keep your lips hydrated.
Don't Irritate Your Lips: Avoid licking your lips as that will increase irritation. Biting the skin on your lips will only exacerbate lip irritation which will inhibit healing. It tears at the lip skin and encourages drying.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: The sun can cause the lips to burn and chap. Covering your lips with a lip balm or lipstick will stop the sun from burning the lips.
Healthy Diet: Eating vegetables and fruit will provided much needed vitamins and minerals to keep the lips healthy.
Apply Lip Gloss: Lip gloss is a great cosmetic addition that contains a lot of moisturizing properties. It makes your lips appealing while proving protection from dehydration. There are a variety of lip glosses available.
Night Care: Before you got to bed, apply a moisturizing cream on your lips. In the morning you will have smooth and soft lips.
Morning Lip Care: In the morning, brush your lips with a soft baby toothbrush to remove flaky skin. Then, apply some lip balm to your lips.
During the summer, heat, wind, and the sun, can draw out the moisture and damage the lips. It is important to prevent the damaging effects of exposure by using a lip care product that soothes, restores, heals, and moisturizes the lips. Following a daily lip care health routine will ensure beautiful and soft lips.

Tips for Lose Weight

Tip 1: Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day
Fruits and vegetables are packed with beneficial fibers, vitamins and antioxidants. They fill up your stomach fast so you feel full earlier. They are also low in calories and helps to keep your calorie count low.
Tip 2: Do not Skip Meals
Eating small frequent meals help to balance your calorie intake throughout the day and also keeps your blood sugar level balanced. Instead of eating 3 big meals, try to eat 5 - 6 smaller meals throughout the day.
Tip 3: Go for wholesome fresh foods
Purchase fresh foods and avoid highly processed foods. Highly processed foods and fast foods are often higher in sodium and fat content. Many people we spoke to are amazed that they can easily lose weight by packing a home-cooked lunch to work instead of eating out.
Tip 4: Don't be overly-restrictive
Everyone has his or her favorite treats. Simply allow yourself a little indulgence, but watch out for the frequency and the quantity. Having a small treat once in a while can be rewarding to your weight loss experience. Cutting too much of your favorite treats usually lead to an early relapse.
Tip 5: Watch for the sugary drinks
Juices, soda, cream & sugar in your coffee or tea all add up. Opt for drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. In addition to providing hydration to your body, it will also help you feel full.
Tip 6: Keep a food journal
Keeping a food journal helps you pin point your eating pattern and will enable you to easily modify it. If possible, have your Registered Dietitian review your journal.

Tips for Eye Care

With so many of us spending lots of time in front of the computer every day it comes to no surprise that research is showing a rise in visual problems. What can one do? First, it’s important to find out how you can protect your eyes through eye health exams and by making a few minor changes in your computer viewing habits. 

Positioning is everything
Correct positioning of your computer, keyboard and typing copy is essential. Your screen should be positioned about an arm’s length from your eyes and 20 degrees below eye level. Consider foot and wrist rests for added comfort.
Lighting can make all the difference
Room lighting should be diffuse, not direct, to reduce glare and reflections from your screen. Look into an internal or external glare screen and be sure to set your colour, contrast and brightness levels to suit you.
Palming
Sit straight at your workstation and rub your palms against each other till you feel them warm. The warmth of your palms helps soothe and relax tired eyes. Then, lightly cup your eyes with your palms and relax for 60 seconds. Count the seconds in your mind. Repeat this exercise two to three times whenever your eyes feel tired, or as often as you want. While palming, you can either rest your elbows on your desk or keep away from the desk and cup your eyes. Both ways are fine.
Splash water on your face
During breaks, splash water on your face while closing your eyes. This has an overall relaxing effect and helps you feel refreshed.
Use tea bags
Keep two used tea bags in the refrigerator before you leave for work. Once you are home, place the tea bags on your eyes for a few minutes as you relax. This not only soothes tired eyes, but also reduces puffiness.
Eat healthy
Incorporate Vitamins A, C, and E on a daily basis; eat citrus fruits, green leafy veggies, tomatoes, spinach, poultry and dairy products. Pack a box of chopped carrots, cucumber and fresh fruits and munch in-between meals at the office.
