The message for so many decades, promoted by the likes of skinny, incredibly well tended women such as Jane Fonda, was "no pain, no gain". It had to hurt, it had to be very strenuous, you had to breathe hard, sweat profusely and finish exhausted or you weren't getting a good workout. Perhaps that's still okay for teens or 20 somethings who have the stamina, the body and the time to devote to that type of physical punishment. But as boomers live longer and plan retirements of participatory sports and travel instead of the rocking chairs and shuffleboard of their ancestors, exercise had to change. For the older, less limber but healthy and still active 50 plus folk exercise started to become simpler, and the point of it went from focusing on the gorgeous sexy body that resulted to enjoying the exercise itself and preparing for a long healthy retirement. Now exercise is in hand with a good <a href="http://www.weightshapes.com/" target="_blank">weight loss diet plan for women</a> and men and doesn't mean a strenuous gymnastics event as often as it means getting out and jogging around the neighborhood, biking with friends and downhill or cross country skiing at a great vacation resort. Of course there are those? There are always going to be those? Who prefer to pop pills or purge themselves in varying degrees of danger. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nearly everyone who has reached the age of reason and reading capability knows that diet pills not only don't work over the long run and sometimes even the short run. Yet there are those who ignore that fact that these diet pills are dangerous to our heart muscles. So intent are they on slimming down without a whole lot of work, or even a whole lot of self control that they ignore the warning signs and ingest diet pills to make themselves svelte, sleek, pretty and sexy. Now there is a lot being written about slimming and the use of diet supplements. Hoodia is one example of the controversy generated by some of these untested dietary supplements. There are those who will tell you they are totally safe. However, since they are not medicines, the Food and Drug Administration cannot test them, regulate, or require that they clarify any ingredients on their labels. There are pluses and minuses to that of course. The FDA is notorious for taking years to come to a decision, while people can become sicker and die waiting for what could have been a cure. On the other hand, dietary supplements can cause harm to those who don't know the contraindications, the ingredients, the warnings, and the interaction with other foods or drugs. There are a number of dietary supplements whose primary ingredient is green tea. The benefits of green tea in weight loss are widely known and scientifically documented. There is no known negative side effect of green tea consumption either.</div>

Good morning, did you sleep well? To be honest, me either. And to imagine how I am when I wake up this early, think of a zombie. The only difference is that my life force is coffee instead of brains. So, are dark circles bothering you? Don't worry, I have a secret for you, something that will make you look as good as new. It's not gonna work right now, so you will still need to wear concealer today, but tomorrow, or whenever you don't get enough sleep, everything's gonna be alright if you listen to me. Yes, you heard me! Coconut oil baby! It will work wonders for your eyes, and all you have to do is apply a thin layer all around your eyes, and let it sit there all night. You'll wake up looking all fresh and rested, and your eye area will be super hydrated. The tiny box is just something I keep my coconut oil in, so it's easier to use. It tends to solidify when it's kept somewhere not very hot, so I find it super comfortable to use it out of the box, rather than out of the bottle. It's solid most of the times, so it would also be a waste of time to heat it every time I want to use it. Not to mention that I can never get the right amount from the bottle, it always leaks a whole lot more. Did you try the coconut oil around your eyes? Did it work just as great for you too?<br />

Boasted as the number 1 energy pill by retailers nationwide, their website claims "Energize is perfect for men and women who want sustained energy and all-day calorie burning. That's because Energize was developed to safely give our bodies back the energy it needs and to keep our energy levels up longer". In fact, as their clinical studies suggest, one dose of Energize in the morning keeps your body and mind energized all day long. Looking over the ingredients we see they've combined a unique blend of B-vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, and as a company operator commented, "Energize works with your body's natural ability to burn calories for energy and is ideal for those days when we need to boost our energy, fight off mid-day fatigue, and think more clearly". All while burning extra calories to boot. We like that! These weight-loss supplements are available at retailers nationwide, including GNC, VitaminWorld, VitaminShoppe, and online retailers such as Drugstore, WeightShapes, or check out their websites, where you can order direct, find out more information, or locate your nearest retailer. Bonus: they all come with a no-questions-asked 60-day money-back guarantee.</div>

The recently released "Cabbage soup diet pill" claims to "make the cabbage soup diet 17 times more effective, 3 times more affordable, and 100 times more hunger-proof". But can people really lose weight using cabbage soup diet pills instead of following the oldest diet in the book? We all know the cabbage soup diet works. It has been around for years and is still to this day used by celebrities looking to drop pounds quickly. But anyone who has ever tried the cabbage soup diet also knows how difficult it is to stick to. Not only is the diet extremely limited, most people complain that eating cabbage soup for every meal of every day gets real old, real quick. So... can this new pill give people the weight loss benefits without the hassle? We asked cabbage soup diet expert Katie May to review this new revolutionary diet pill to get the truth. "There is no pill, no matter how potent it may be, that will replace the effects of actually sticking to the cabbage soup diet", says Smith, "but I am very impressed with way this cabbage soup diet pill was created. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Cabbage leaves" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvYrkRPdxxVeu0hcQZKBEU7v5Nt4vGU68FPr-0ycp81vNePlB3k1T058PioSMAcQm19LJN28klcmJ9vFw3EhFKfG9ilP2iMQO1aKTiwu5Q_R2XcAYol5dJjJwJwlT172XZPTZgnKop1ror/s1600/Cabbage-leaves.jpg" title="Cabbage" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ingredients can curve your appetite and make you feel full as well helping to detoxify your body". But one major difference with this new cabbage soup diet pill is that dieters do not have to stick to a rigid diet plan. "The old cabbage soup diet required that you only eat fruit and the soup the first day, only vegetables and soup the second day. It is a very difficult diet to stick to, but with the cabbage soup diet pill there is no recommended diet to follow. This can be a good thing for people who would rather choose what foods they consume on their own, and if they make responsible choices they will be able to lose weight", says Smith. "But while this pill can be very beneficial to aid weight loss, it is not a miracle pill. It will be difficult to lose weight with this cabbage soup diet pill if you are still binge eating on fat and greasy foods".</div>

</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Portion control! There is no reason to pile food on your plate! Just take a reasonable amount, and you should be good! Overeating has always been a huge problem!</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Eat slowly. I know when you are really hungry that can be hard, but if you take time and chew everything slowly, you are less likely to overeat. How crazy is that? Just slow down, and enjoy the food.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">If you don’t like the food, don’t eat it. I know that sounds silly, but we tend to just eat whatever is in front of us, whenever it is there. But if you only eat what you really like, that will also cut down on your food intake.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Don’t park close to the store. I know everyone wants the “prime” parking places, but it won’t kill you to walk the extra few hundred feet from the car to the store.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Switch it up! Don’t eat the same thing every week. Variety is the spice of life, and trying new things is good for your digestion as well!</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Eat as much fresh food as possible. I know its tough sometimes, but be sure you aren’t always eating packaged food. They tend to have much higher amounts of sodium and other bad things for you.</li>
</ol>

First I will show you how to make the salad then we will go into the nutrients and benefits of adding these foods to your menus. This salad is high in protein. The avocado is a healthy fat. The recipe is also vegetarian and it cuts the craving for us meat eaters. It is full of nutrients and can be served with your favorite flat bread, crackers or artisan bread. Gather together the following: 1-16 oz can kidney beans; 1-16 oz can garbanzo beans; 2 small tomatoes; 1 medium avocado; 1 small red onion; 1/3 cup Italian dressing; Directions: Drain and rinse the beans. Peel and remove the seed from the avocado. Dice avocado in bite sized pieces. Grate the carrot. Dice the onion and dice the tomatoes. Combine all ingredients in large bowl.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, how are these foods good for you? Let’s take a look at each one. Kidney and Garbanzo beans are also known as legumes. Here are some of the nutritional highlights of legumes and <a href="http://www.weightshapes.com/fruits-and-vegetables/" target="_blank">fruits and vegetables benefits</a>: One cup of kidney beans is 225 calories, 15 grams of protein and 40 grams of carbohydrates.

First and foremost, weight loss surgery is a major step to take and only recommended by doctors in a worse-case scenario i.e. when no other options for weight loss exist for the patient and if a patient is fit for surgery and can afford it. Overly fat or really obese people are usually recommended to go in for weight loss surgeries and those at health risks for life-threatening diseases may be given the option of going under the knife as well, to get rid of the excess baggage. Cutting edge technology has empowered weight loss surgery to be considered a viable option for many overweight persons who have undergone a series of pre-surgery tests, including procedures using advanced medical devices such as roentgenograms, lab tests for chemical, bacteriologic and pathologic determination of imbalances in the human body system apart from using monitoring devices that update the doctor about a person’s exact health condition, including any genetic disorders.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Measuring tape" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEowEsSP2NJiypFV45xenriH58N4K0zQIGjUDWYosgMtTdgvGo7PaabnbJrotHu1stKVSUwAXhjJn6dDpfT_pYD_WZmsWPsLjLHUCeGcI432PDPPQwfI7ChMnBuuCFrSR2wQy433DwT8-K/s1600/Measure+tape.jpeg" title="Measuring tape" /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
High clinical standards being strictly adhered for all these pre-surgical steps makes it possible for doctors and surgeons to make informed decisions and accurate diagnosis for a patient’s weight problem and to educate them about the best surgical option available to them, within a specific budget and timeline. Many people may be overly concerned about their appearance and thus aspire to improve on certain body parts but others with excess weigh issues to deal with may actually opt for total body sculpting and weight loss. Weight loss surgery is best considered for the latter case scenario rather than simply cosmetic reasons as it helps people lead longer, healthier more fulfilled ones instead of simply more body / beauty conscious ones. Thus, people considering weight loss surgery would do well to analyze their true health situation, research the process recommended for them, and most, consult an experienced and qualified bariatric surgeon after getting the nod from their family physician as to the pros and cons of weight loss surgery for themselves.</div>

We take a closer look at the reasons over-weight people and their families are considering surgery to combat the extra kilos and what are the necessary facts anyone opting for this method of weight loss needs to be aware of so as to be an informed and aware consumer of health care products and services, especially in the modern context. For those who have watched what they are eating and also tried out various exercise options besides fad diets, pills and gadgets promising weight loss but still find body beautiful eludes them, weight loss surgery may well be the answer to all their woes. But, how far is it safe? Is it a long-term option for weight loss and weight management both? What are the possible side-effects of going under the knife? Who can benefit from it? Are there any restrictions on your lifestyle after you go in for weight loss surgery? How much does it cost? What kind of procedures are followed for weight loss surgery and how can one decide whether one is ready for it or not? Which doctor is best for performing weight loss surgery? Does medical insurance cover weight loss surgery? What is the after-care requirement of weight loss surgery? All these questions need to be addressed first before one opts for weight loss surgery.</div>

As you know I am always moaning about how my hair will never grow as it's over processed with all the bleach that I use on it so when I saw that Lee Stafford had brought out a new Hair Growth range I just had to give it a go! Hair Growth Treatment with Pro Growth complex for strength from within. Contains protein based complex to fertilize your follicles creating a healthy environment on the scalp to help hair grow faster and reach its maximum potential length. "If the earths not nourished you'll never grow beautiful flowers". The hair growth mask is perfect to use just after you have rinsed out the shampoo. Apply an egg sized amount of the pink treatment to roots and ends of your hair. Leave it for 5 - 10 minutes and rinse. I love the smell of this treatment its a fresh natural smell, I personally think it smells like lavender which is gorgeous! After using this for a few weeks now I can say that my hair feels and looks healthier especially on the ends of my hair. They are always screaming out for moisture and this is definitely doing that. However I cant say that I have noticed any growth in my hair but I guess I cant be rapunzel over night. And hair has to be healthy before it will grow so hopefully if I keep using this treatment my hair will become healthy and then decide to grow... roll on rapunzel! You can pick up Lee Stafford's Hair Growth treatment along with more of the hair growth range from your local boots. </div>

Robert Verkerk, PhD, the executive and scientific director of the Alliance for Natural Health International pointed to World Health Organization (WHO) platform advocating nutritional solutions to the obesity - diabetes problem that few governments had adequately heeded. “To date most governments have paid little more than lip service to the idea,” he said. “The problem is incentive, both from the perspective of the consumer, as well as from the food industry and health profession. The typical consumer has in some ways become an addict, and to get them to transition between less healthy diets and lifestyles to more healthy ones, requires more than just pointing out the direction they should move in”. "The medical profession has no experience of real prevention. The model is still based on people only responding once they have entered a dysfunctional state. This is just too late to be either efficient or sustainable. The education given to doctors on nutrition and lifestyle mediated healthcare is negligible, and even that given to dietitians is greatly limited. "We need to see a revolution in healthcare education, where healthcare, in the true sense of the word (not to be confused with disease management), is something that is proactively handled in the home, at work, at schools, at universities and through all branches of the healthcare professions. This takes time, but it’s better to start, than never to begin”.</div>

I have always been battling with my weight and I have tried every diet that I have read about in magazines. No carbs, maple syrup, soup only... yeah I lost weight quickly but it all comes back on as quickly as I lost it! I'm now just choosing to eat what I want but watching my portion sizes and snacks. I am a big snack lover! I cannot say no to a pack of crisps lol So here are some tips that I have learnt along the way which I have found to be really good when dieting. You must have breakfast whether its just a piece of fruit. Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day so if you want a fry up have it for breakfast and be really good throughout the day. If you're hungry drink some water. Water fills you up and its good for you bonus! Alex Curran (wag) swears by taking a Sea Kelp supplement to stop her cravings during the day.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
You take 1 tablet before a meal and its meant to help you feel full quickly too. I take them and I think they work well. Nip+Fab do amazing creams for different target areas. I love the Tummy Fix and the Cellulite Fix creams. They help to tone the skin which is a lot easier than an hour down the gym. Green Tea. I have always loved Green Tea and its great cleanser for your body. One cup in the morning will help to boost your metabolism and act as an antioxidant. Sniff Vanilla. Smelling Vanilla is proven to suppress your appetite so keep a tissue with vanilla drops in your handbag at all times. Eat Apples. They will fill you up and they practically have no calories as your body works hard to digest the apple skin making it a free snack. Scrub Scrub Scrub! When you use a body scrub you are helping the blood circulation in your body so the more you scrub the healthier your skin looks and fatty tissues becomes less visible.</div>

Isn't it always superbly refreshing to discover a brand no one seems to know much about? Doesn't it renew all the interest and passion you might have lost into something if ever? When I came across that brand name of polish called Ekineda, my first reflex was to google it to find out if any of my fellow nail blogger had mentioned this brand before. So far, I found nothing. Unless my google search is doomed, I can conclude it's mainly unknown. "Great!" did I think. I love to explore new horizons. I love to be the first to leave my step into the fresh snow. Nothing excite me more than a new land to conquer and this is precisely what Ekineda looked like to me: a virgin land. So far, all I know is that it is a big 3 free English brand. I should maybe have written them to know more, ask them when the brand was founded, who they were. I bought their polish instead and tested them which is possibly even better than a thousand words. It's possible then that I have about a 20 of those to show you. I told you there was space to explore. Their color collection is small (30 colors) and I admit, pretty conservative (lots of pink) but the formula is smooth and great and there are some awesome finds here, like the drop dead gorgeous "Emerald Sky". That being said, I won't be starting with this one and will do with a very special color. Maybe not so special to many (what can be so noticeable in a pink among thousand ones?) but "Icy Rose" is very special to me. Back in my early teenage, the French brand Bourjois had a polish in their permanent collection called "Violetta". Violetta was a chrome pink lilac. I have emptied three 15ml bottles of this one until they revamped it along with their bottle design. "Violetta" then became a banal coral based pink shimmer and a very disappointing misnommer. They ended up eventually discontinuing it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://adailydoseofdieting.blogspot.com/2013/06/ekineda-icy-rose-icey-rose.html"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJHMb5ABQxJo0t7TQiELRY9dOAawme8PTaxSYNyCg23PM79oA1WkohCqvuRJ-6Kf4QYXw5IxprBQue6HJw0GGdZ3DOsoEZMi3Phs_1NuwQd08grBJroRdlpa9UFQgBXFujdrq0TaLBey0R/s1600/Ekineda_slide_blend1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
I think I have searched for a dupe of the original "Violetta" starting from that time. I have bought numerous pink colors in the brands we all know without ever coming close (with the exception of CHI "Lost my Bi-CHI-Ni" which was in the good vibe). Believe me or not, a pink-lilac chrome that is not a dusty pink is not very easy to find. At least not one like I have in head. "Icy Rose" is not exactly like Violetta but come so close in the base color that I can consider myself happy to have found a replacement. As a matter of fact, Icy Rose is a pinch darker and it's perfect to me. So, "Icy Rose" (on the website it is called "Icey Rose" but my bottle state "Icy Rose") is a pink that you'd think frost but as I can't see brush strokes on my nails (photo enhance them - they're not visible in real life), it comes as a chrome. A bright and strong pink leaning toward purple. Ekineda describes it as a dusky lilac-pink. I'll describe it as a varicose pinky purple. It's darker in the bottle than on nails due to the light reflective quality of the polish. As I didn't know the brand, I didn't know what to expect but the formula is superb, opaque in 2 coats and fast drying. The polish is neither too thin, neither too thick. The only bad thing is that it tends to bubble if I apply it too fast by a too hot weather. Also the polish will cheap easily without a top coat. Both issue can be solved in applying carefully when the weather is not too hot and applying a top coat. I adore it on my nails, as you might have guessed. I can't believe I have emptied half a bottle of my "Icy Rose" already and it's barely been more or less a month since I discovered the brand. It's saying how I love it. And it's not every time that I'm wearing the same polish 4 times in a row. I will be featuring more color to present you the brand because I bought a lot of colors. Not everything is worthy for sure but isn't it like in every brand we know?</div>

The purpose of detox diets is to get rid of toxins from our bodies. The body has a natural detox mechanism but it cannot keep up with the large number of toxins that are constantly fed into it, hence the need for detox diets. Read more about the <a href="http://weightshapes.com/detox-diet/" target="_blank">detox diet plan</a>, and detox diets for weight loss. A body detox diet that gained popularity after being used by music celebrity Beyonce, is the lemon detox diet. It is a purely liquid diet and you will need to compensate for lacking roughage by using a laxative every night to enable bowel movement. Remember to take a salt solution every morning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://adailydoseofdieting.blogspot.com/2013/04/lemon-detox-diet.html"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH1y-eDiTqrFD-89Ab24w80AtiWE0npU0PIApWYSAGi1kVqy0LdKZ4deXXXtB-zypwxhULRLFrwpudXV7ylmVDvr1c3rM_abYkKqC8fvOYPrBJr01BGg83qXIWxbSWxg5pNx-6nHTcNGFv/s1600/Dieta-cu-lamaie.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The science behind this diet is that early in the morning some form of osmosis takes place when the salt solution draws liquid into the intestines and flushes out toxins. Solids are absent therefore allowing the digestive system to relax. The enzymes found in the lemon juice break down harmful substances that are present in the colon. The ingredients for the lemon detox diet are water, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of organic maple syrup and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper. The above proportions will only yield one serving so you will need to prepare enough to give eight servings in a day. </div>

The
liver detox diet is targeted towards cleansing the liver. The detox
diet menu comprises of water, fruits and vegetables. This is a 7 day
detox diet where on the first, second and third days, you drink up to 12
glasses of water per day while totally avoiding dairy products. On the
fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh days, squeeze some fresh organic juice
from fruits and vegetables. Upon completion of this diet, gradually
resume a healthy lifestyle which beats detox diets. One
of the best detox diets is the raw food detox diet which is also
dependent on enzymes’ action in the body. Enzymes found in raw food
cleanse the digestive system. The most sustainable way of going into a
raw food detox diet is by starting with small quantities of uncooked
food and increasing gradually. As its name suggests,
the popular three day detox diet takes three days to complete. Breakfast
comprises of a cup of warm water with lemon juice instead of tea or
coffee. In any particular day, ensure that you eat a cup of whole
grains, a serving of fruits and raw vegetables. During any of the three
days, take two doses of liver or kidney tonic. As with all detox diets,
take lots of water and fresh fruit and vegetable juices. </div>

What do you need to know about the weight loss pills? The pharmaceutical companies who manufacture weight loss pills are enjoying a boom time at the moment feeding off the desperation of a populus that is increasing in weight year after year. Sales of prescribed weight loss pills and over the counter variants are going through the roof since the health scares surrounding types of this product caused it to be removed from circulation during the late 1990s. Links to heart valve disease were something of a death nail to the weight loss pill market. Nowadays, the weight loss pill is experiencing a renaissance. According to the pharmaceutical companies these weight loss pills are made completely of natural ingredients and are no longer of risk but yet they are still dogged by health issues. Weight loss pills can be either prescribed or bought over the counter and the difference between the two are briefly highlighted here. Prescription. Weight loss pills that are prescribed are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration agency. These pills have been monitored and scrutinized by the administration prior to use by the general public and as such are deemed the safer option. The most popular of these is Xenical which works by reducing the amount of fat consumed by the body by 30 %. Unfortunately, Xenical is still dogged by side effects that include passing gas, abdominal cramping, increased number of bowel movements, leakage of oily stool and a loss of total control over bowel movements. Over the counter weight loss pills. The temptation to use over-the-counter weight-loss pills is often irresistible and the fact that many are not regulated warrants the question, are these products safe?</div>

There are many pharmaceutical companies cashing in on the revived weight loss pill market and this is mirrored by the myriad of products available. Here is a shortlist of products, their claims and what you need to know: Hoodia. Possibly one of the better known products, claims to decrease appetite substantially. Verdict: no conclusive evidence to support any of their claims. Alli. Reduces fat absorption by the intestines. A lesser strength variant of Xenical. Verdict: as one of the few FDA approved over the counter weight loss pills it has the benefit of backing to substantiate its weight loss claims. Guar gum. Stops absorption of fat and suppresses appetite. Verdict: unlikely to cause weight loss, can cause gastrointestinal problems. Green tea extract. Much revered in certain circles as it is claimed to increase metabolism. Verdict: limited supportive evidence. There are literally hundreds more all with relatively the same verdict. There is one resounding factor that all of these weight loss pills have in common. They all state that they are more effective when used in conjunction with a diet and a exercise routine. If you decide to use a weight loss pill and follow its instruction to use a diet and an exercise program isn’t that hiding whether or not the tablet is effective or not? Personally, I would forget the weight loss pill and look for an effective weight loss plan that will: not tell me to go on a low calorie diet yet still provide me with fast but sustained weight loss, not put my health at risk, not cost a fortune, and not be difficult to keep up. Never take diet drugs if pregnancy is suspected or if you are allergic to sulfites and tartrazine. Individuals under 18 or over 60 should consult their doctor prior to taking weight loss pills.</div>Stefan Valinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05946768935825862114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711314021642299781.post-48089130199846189042012-12-11T02:47:00.000-08:002013-04-23T05:39:21.932-07:00Sauna Beauty <div style="text-align: justify;">
A glowing beautiful skin is everyone's dream. These days a variety of beauty treatments available in the market and the market is burgeoning with such products which finally leave us confused. Many of us are not aware of how sauna system can be beneficial to our skin. Saunas can not be underestimated, as it is used for health benefits as well. Saunas can serve for quadruple purposes, health, beauty, relaxation and luxury. Saunas can do wonders to your skin and that too in a totally scientific manner. The layers of extra dirt on the skin that are formed due to the exposure to pollution, dust and other matters can be removed by taking sauna bath.<br />
<br />
This effect of skin cleansing is produced due to the usage of steam in the saunas. Apart from skin cleansing sauna can also improve the blood circulation in topmost skin layers and this renders you with a healthy glowing skin. The skin temperature in sauna rises to about 104° F and this result in production of perspiration by the sweat glands that are located beneath dermal layer. As these sweat glands are excited and perspiration is released out of the body, there are lots of unwanted particles that are flushed out along with the perspiration. These particles include dust and dirt on the skin as well as the toxins that are buried deep under the skin. The skin pores expand under the effect of steam heat and are cleaned up which improves the complexion as well as the texture. The blood vessels near the skin enlarge and thus this results in increased blood circulation. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The dead cells on the skin layer are removed and it also helps in scar treatment by softening the keloids. Apart from widening of pores and sweat generation, sauna also affects the blood circulation. When the body is in sauna, under the effect of heat, the blood tends to flow to the skin. Due to this the blood circulation increases and it reaches to the topmost layer of the dermis and this imparts a striking glow to your skin. Our saunas are ideal to be fitted in health cubs, gyms and even in spas and beauty salons. So, before getting distracted by other beauty treatments available in the market, we would definitely suggest you to try our product and we are sure that you will not search for anything else after trying our saunas.</div>
