Healthy foods

Everyone wants too look good. But medication and other fixes aren't long lasting. somewhere down the line they'll start to show on your face. Acne in adults and teens is caused by not only hormonal dis-balance but also by unhealthy eating habits, same is with heart attacks and other diseases. Junk food seems pretty great and yummy but its indeed very harmful.
Top 10 healthy foods are:
Blueberries
Apples
Almonds
Broccoli (interesting recipes coming soon)
Oily fish (salmon, trout basically those high in omega-3 fatty acids)
Dark leafy vegetables
Sweet potatoes
Avocadoes
Wheat germ
Oatmeal
Red grapefruit also provides cancer-protecting antioxidant lycopene. Instead of a banana-split sundae. Try...sliced bananas topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel and slivered almonds. The potassium in bananas helps maintain fluid balance to ward off dehydration, and the almonds will deliver healthy fats for beautiful skin. Instead of apple pie. Try…baked apples. To make, bake a small apple and top with 2 tbsp low-fat plain yogurt sprinkled with cinnamon. You'll get the same tart taste sans the fatty butter from the crust.
And a must is to drink loads of water. You can never have enough. Drinking water at certain time maximizes it’s effectiveness on the body:- 2 glasses of water after waking up – helps activate internal organs. 1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal – helps digestion. 1 glass of water before taking a bath – helps lower blood pressure. 1 glass of water before going to bed – avoids stroke or heart attack.
drink enough water and eat healthy and you'll notice a change with in weeks.

Choosing the right shampoo

Shampoo can be confusing. Moisturizing, hydrating, volumizing, strengthening, smoothing, curling, oh my. How do you match the lingo on the bottle with the hair on your head? It doesn't have to be a head game if you know what you're looking for. This guide will help you match your hair and the results you seek with shampoo.

Define Your Scalp Type

Before you choose shampoo it's important to know what shampoo does, how to us it, and how that relates to your hair and scalp type. Shampoo is meant to clean your hair and scalp of dirt, oil, and hair products. While it's common to think of shampoo as a hair cleansing agent, it's more important to consider your scalp when choosing a shampoo.

My rule of thumb is this: shampoo should be chosen based on your scalp condition; conditioner should be used to treat your hair. This way, if your scalp is oily and your ends are dry (which is a common problem), choose shampoo that is best suited for an oily scalp and a conditioner that is best suited to hydrate your dry ends. Why? Because like your face, treating the oil conditions on your scalp (whether it's dry, oily, or somewhere in the middle) begins with proper cleansing. Introducing the proper moisture back into your hair can be accomplished by selecting the right conditioner.

Oily Scalp Shampoo Advice

If your scalp tends to be oily or greasy you've likely been through dozens of shampoos with little luck. You've tried everything from washing daily (sometimes twice daily) to putting days between shampoos in an effort to control oil and sebum production. It can feel embarrassing when your scalp feels oily. Here's what to look for and what to avoid when choosing a shampoo for an oily scalp:

Avoid shampoos that are hydrating, moisturizing, smoothing, or good for curly hair. These shampoos tend to add too much moisture to your already oily scalp.
Look for labels that read volumizing, strengthening, or balancing. These products are less moisturizing and more effective at removing excess oil.
A daily clarifying shampoo can be a big help to super oily scalp conditions, but be careful that you're not over drying your scalp when choosing to use a clarifying shampoo. Over drying can actually stimulate more oil and sebum production.
Try a super clarifying treatment when your oily scalp is really out of control.
Be sure the shampoo you choose for your oily scalp is color safe.
Spend extra time working the shampoo into your scalp to break up oil. Rinse very well. Follow these steps to ensure proper shampooing.
After shampooing, avoid working your conditioner into your scalp. Rather, concentrate on keeping conditioner on the mid-shaft and ends of your hair. Rinse well.

Dry Scalp Shampoo Advice

When your scalp is dry, itchy, or even flaky choosing the right shampoo can be the first defense in the uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing conditions that can occur. It's important to choose a shampoo that doesn't add to the issue when you have a dry scalp. These tips can help you choose a shampoo for your dry scalp:
Avoid strengthening, fortifying, and volumizing shampoos. These products can strip your scalp of necessary moisture.
For scalps that are only slightly dry with little to no itching and that do not flake, look for shampoo labels that promote moisture, hydration, smoothing, or curls (especially handy if you have curly hair). These products promote moisture and can be beneficial to your dry scalp.
If your scalp is very dry, itchy, and or flaky consider shampoos that are specifically formulated for dry scalp. Ingredients like menthol and tea tree can help moisturize your dry scalp.
Nioxin can be an excellent investment for moderate to severe dry scalp concerns.
Avoid shampoos that contain sulfates, which are very drying to the hair and scalp.
Even when your scalp is dry, it's important to properly shampoo your hair for best results.

Shampoo Glossary

When your scalp isn't necessarily dry or oily (or maybe you just want to know what on earth all these shampoo types mean), you can easily choose a shampoo that's perfect for your desired hair style:
Hydrating/Moisturizing Shampoo: great for adding moisture, shine, and smoothness to hair. Good for thick, curly, or course hair.
Volumizing Shampoo: excellent choice when your hair is fine or limp. If your hair or style need a boost and lift, a volumizing shampoo can be a great foundation.
Strengthening/Fortifying Shampoo: good for damaged, over processed, highlighted, weak, or brittle hair. Usually contains extra protein to improve the condition of your hair.
Balancing Shampoo: balancing shampoos are typically a nice middle of the road shampoo. Not too moisturizing, but won't dry your hair out.
Smoothing/Straight Hair Shampoo: extra moisturizers and smoothing agents help seal the cuticle and provide a great start for your straight and smooth hairstyle.
Curly Hair Shampoo: shampoos that are formulated for curly hair are typically very moisturizing and make an extra effort to reduce frizz.

CLOTHESS

The most important thing is to dress according to your body type. If you're fat don't hide it, that will make it too obvious. The most important part is identifying your body type. are you a Apple shaped, rectangular\straight, pear or hourglass. Draw attention to your waist with belts and dresses that pinch at the mid-section. If you have a straight shape, this is a must because it'll create the illusion of curves. If you have a pear or hourglass shape, this will accentuate your existing curves. Avoid this, though, if you have an apple shape (which means you have a thick waist, or you put on weight easily there) - wear tops that "drape" over any love handles, like tunics and flowy tops with an empire waist (the waist begins just below the bust and flows outwards). Dresses or tops that wrap around your waist and cross over your chest are only a good idea if you have an ample bust; otherwise it can make your bust look disproportionately tiny (if you're pear-shaped) or your chest and shoulders look flat and square (if you're straight-shaped). Elongate your legs. No matter what your body type, making your legs look longer is generally flattering. If you're apple-shaped or straight-shaped, choose flared pants over straight-leg or skinny pants. It adds more "shape" to a straight body and it helps balance out wide shoulders and/or a heavy upper body. Stock up on miniskirts and bright tights to make the most of your great legs.If you're pear-shaped and you are short (or have short legs), wear straight-leg or slightly flared pants with heels. Skinny pants that hug your ankles can make your lower body take on the appearance of an upside-down triangle. Flared pants can make your legs look very thick, perhaps bowl-legged, in comparison to your upper body. Shape your bust. If you have an apple or hourglass shape, you probably have an ample bust; your main concern should be to wear a supportive bra so that your chest looks perky, not droopy. Book yourself a professional bra fitting; it's life-changing and will make your chest look fantastic! Stock up on V-neck dresses and tops - they're super flattering on big-busted girls. If you don't want to draw attention to your chest, stay away from necklaces and wear chunky bangles instead. You should also wear plain colors around your bust and go for patterned and colourful bottoms instead. If you have a straight or pear shape, wearing a push-up bra to add curves up top might not be a bad idea. If you have a flat stomach and aren't shy about showing it, cropped tops will make your chest look a little bigger in relation to your waist.our upper body.Wear clothes with patterns that go down your body (especially your legs) and not across. Draw attention away from unwanted curves by enhancing a feature that is further away or you can cover it with dark colors.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO DRESS COMFORTABLE.
