Detoxing the body

Not only should you use a colon cleanser to detox your body to get rid of waste and help you lose weight, and feel better, but also detox your body with bathes, to get rid of toxins, a great detox bath consists of: 7 drops rosemary oil, 7 drops juniper berry oil and dead sea salts, soak for a least 20 minutes a couple times a week. All the toxins in your body will sweat out through your pores. You can also put the drops in 2 tablespoons of milk or cream before adding to bath water, helps so the scent of the drops won't be to strong. And dont forget to use moisturizers on your body, after every bath or shower, my favorite is Johnson and Johnsons new line for grownups.

Everything suggested here can be found at a health food store, I like the mom and pop health food stores the best.

HEALTHY SKIN for the face

DO NOT use regular soap on your face, use a face soap or an all natural soap on your face, body soap is to harsh and will dry out your face, read the ingredients on the products you buy, you dont want to use alcohol or mineral oil on your face, mineral oil will clog the pores and alcohol will dry out your skin and cause it to age faster, dont worry if the product has "cetyl alcohol" this is not an alcohol and is derived from vegetable oils now. Skin is like a plant if you dont keep it moistured at all times it will dry out, there are alot of "bad" moisterizers out on the market that are not good for your skin DON'T USE THEM, remember start reading the ingredients in them before you use. Also it is very beneficial to take skin vitamins, since our diets aren't always the best, my favorite is minus ten-you can get this at GNC, or you can find vitamins for the skin at any health food store, you also want to add Alpha-Lipoic Acid, it removes the damage and heals your skin cells, minus ten has it in a sustained release which keeps it working for you, because damage to the cells is what causes your skin to appear dull and lifeless. It also contributes to fine lines and wrinkles. Taking vitamins for your skin, is as important as , what you put on your skin for healthy, younger looking skin. Also eating a healthier diet will give you the skin your after.

To kick up your metabolism take green tea capsules and B12, also, after your biggest meal of the day, take papaya tablets or chewables to break down the fat from the food. And drink 8 glasses of water a day. Detoxing is also very important if you want to lose weight. Eat healthy portions of food, no supersizing!!! Eat more fat burning foods, I have them listed in my 100 fat burning foods, also alot of these foods will help your body detox itself.

Before starting any diet, if your overweight make sure its not because of a thyroid problem.

If you hate exercising like I do, turn on some music and dance, dance through as many songs as you can and do it everyday, but dont just sway back and forth, MOVE THAT BODY. Try taking dance lessons, dancing is a great way to get your body in shape.
Also walk as much as you can, use the steps instead of the elevator. And Good luck to you!
