Food Tips. What is the Healthy Food
What is the Healthy Food ?
To stay alive our body needs energy, materials to build and regenerate its cells, and last but not the least, the microelements, which are vital for metabolism processes. If we want our body to function normally, we must know how to satisfy its nutritional needs, which have been already well recognized.
The essentials are as follows:
The amount of energy, or the calories, that we consume, must correspond to its actual expenditure. We must maintain our weight close to the ideal.
Basic Skin Types
There’s not much you can do about the skin type you’re born with. But by taking care of it properly, you can control and maintain texture and radiance from your 20s right through to your 50s and over.
The types of skin are normal, oily, dry and combination.
They are determined according to the degree of oiliness or dryness. Generally, skin type correlates with pore size. To determine your own skin type, wash your face and wait 30 minutes. Then put a single piece of tissue paper against each area of your face: forehead, nose, chin, cheeks. Your oily areas will leave oil on the tissue paper.
Dry skin has a rough texture and may become flaky. There are no shiny areas; in fact, the skin looks dull. Pores tend to be smaller because less oil is produced. Without adequate moisture, dry skin can easily become chapped. As dry skin ages, it’s more likely than other types to become wrinkly.
Normal skin has an equal balance of water and oil, making it naturally well moisturized. The pores are medium-sized. When you pull the skin away from the bony structure, it springs back to normal position. Lines and wrinkles are appropriate for age.
Oily skin has a coarse texture. Usually oily areas tend to shine. Oily skin results from overactive oil glands; the oil helps retain dead skin cells in the hair follicles. Pores tend to be larger. The dead skin cells may darken with exposure to the air, forming blackheads. Often, individuals with oily skin have a tendency to develop acne in their teen and middle years, and overgrown oil glands, or sebaceous hyperplasia, in the middle and late years.
Combination skin is a mixture of dry and oily areas of differing degrees. Usually the T-zone — the forehead, nose and chin — is prone to oiliness, whereas the cheeks and neck tend to be dry. More people have combination skin than severely dry or oily skin. Ideally you would need to treat these two areas separately.
Help your skin by…
Sticking to a healthy diet – beta carotene converts to vitamin A (essential in strengthening the skin tissue); vitamin C helps collagen production; vitamin E is good for conditioning; and vitamin B is good for repairing.
Supplementing your diet with evening primrose oil; it contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a fatty acid that strengthens the skin cells and stimulates moisture content.
Getting enough sleep, allowing the skin to repair itself.
Exercising, which boosts blood flow.

Yoga. The Simple Meditation
Simple Meditation from Babaji
Introduced by Roger G. Lanphear
Simple Meditation from Babaji Introduced by Roger G. Lanphear.
This meditation is so simple that there is hardly anything to do. You won’t force out thoughts or sounds. You won’t have to visualize anything particular. You won’t have to chant or repeat a mantra. You simply stay aware of your Inner Vibration. It may take several sittings to clearly recognize that vibration, but recognizing it you will. From then on you simply sit comfortably and allow the vibration to be there. You can have thoughts along with the vibration, but if you find you’re totally absorbed in thoughts, quietly return to an awareness also of your Inner Vibration. That’s all you do for 20 minutes twice a day…..
Whence the Weight?
Almost in every instance the cause of excessive weight is obvious: those people are gaining weight, who eat more than their body needs. Some full-figured ladies say: “But I nearly starve myself and still put on weight!”
It’s true, their breakfast, lunch and supper are not more abundant than those of their slender friends, but in between those meals they have so many bites that nearly double their daily ration.
Those “little bites” usually include sweets, biscuits, jam served with tea, or a small bag of pistachios, 100 g of which contribute 700 calories and by one third increase the nutritive value of the day’s ration.
If You’ve Got a Fresh Wound
Cut an aloe leaf and put one of the parts on your wound with the cut part on; in 5-6 hours your wound will start to close up; change leaves 2-3 times a week till the wound is healed.
Put the bandage on the wound, moisten in fresh onion juice. Also put compress made from the turnip mess, change the compress after it gets dry.
