Healthy Living - November 2011

November 18, 2011[8] www.kirklandreporter.com

� e problem of obesity in America seems to be the trendy topic of the moment and, as a result, many un-

scrupulous people are hoping to cash in on the problem by providing unsound health and weight loss advice.

With our busy schedules, we o� en look for shortcuts and quick � xes but in health and weight loss, true success comes from living a healthy lifestyle.

� e key to successful weight loss begins � rst with

proper nutrition because a healthy diet will encourage your body to burn fat rather than store it. � is can be as simple as eating � ve to six small, nutritious meals throughout the day with the right amount of carbohy-drates, fat and protein.

Exercise is also impor-

tant in improving metabolism and energy. Cardio-vascular exercise will strengthen your heart while weight training will strengthen your bones and muscles, improve your posture and

increase your me-tabolism.

� is may all seem simple, but bad habits really do die hard! Without moti-vation and account-ability, most of us will go back to our

bad habits. So if you’re looking for

motivation, think of all the great bene� ts of proper nu-trition and exercise: weight loss, improved immune system, lower risk for disease, improved self con� dence … the list goes on and on. Try exercising with a partner to motivate and hold each other accountable. Or work with a personal trainer who will guide you through the process, provide motivation and hold you accountable to your progress.

Choosing to live a health-ier lifestyle does more than just preventing disease. Your life depends on it. So don’t hesitate another day and start treating yourself better by eating well and being active!

Don’t forget about your hands. � ey are always exposed to the environ-ment and are abused by our actions. � ey are one of the � rst places aging is seen, along with the neck and col-letage (chest).

In the winter hand cream is a must, and so are gloves. Gloves are not just meant for warmth, but also for protection from the ele-ments. You may not get cold hands when the tempera-ture starts to drop, but your hands are still feeling the e� ects of the environment.

Dry winter air has lower levels of humidity and sucks the moisture from your skin. � is is why it is critical to not only protect your face with a barrier protector, but also protect your hands. And if you work in an o� ce and handle a lot of paper,

that paper is going to be absorbing oils and moisture from your hands as well, as you probably already can tell. So couple that with winter weather and you have an aging disaster liter-

ally on your hands!So here is the rule:When the

temperature drops below 50: It’s time to start wearing gloves. � ese can be a light-weight glove such as leather or cotton.

When the temperature drops below 40: It’s time to bring out the warm woolies! Heavier duty gloves are now required. � ese can be � eece-lined or heavier woolen gloves.

And mandatory is a good emollient hand cream before slipping into your gloves.

But in order for your hands to be able to fully absorb the hand cream, you

need to give them a quick scrub.

Super simple home scrub:Olive oil and sugar. Add a

little of each to the palm of one hand. Enough to make a loose paste. Now just mas-sage all over your hands. Get the palms, the backs, the knuckles, even the cuti-cles. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Now slather on your hand cream.

If you really want to be “natural” try using a few drops of olive oil, jojoba oil, vitamin e oil, or shea butter as your “hand cream.”

But critical is the wearing of the gloves. It’s the perfect way to indulge your inner glove fetishist and keep your hands young looking!
