Lifestyle Choices

While drinking plenty of pure water will help to keep your skin hydrated and facilitate the release of toxins, you can also take advantage of the purifying benefits of water externally through the use of saunas, steams, and special cleansing baths. A daily bath or shower removes surface perspiration and toxins. But you don’t want to dry out your skin or upset the natural protective acid mantle. Use gentle vegetable oil soaps and lather up only where you absolutely need to. A thorough scrubbing with warm water and a loofah or rough washcloth is all you need over most of your body to remove dry skin cells and refresh your skin. Be sure to install a water filter on your shower if your tap water is chlorinated. Your skin and your hair will be much softer and you won’t be absorbing chlorine, which is a potent toxin. (more…)

The first and most important rule is don’t take into your body too much of the wrong kinds of foods in the first place. This includes all forms of refined carbohydrates, all overprocessed, precooked, or pickled foods, and prepared meats. Alcohol and coffee are major pollutants. If you are really serious about remaining cellulite-free, then avoid them altogether and drink spring water or fresh, unsweetened fruit or vegetable juices, or herb teas sweetened with a teaspoon of honey.

Habits can provide comfort, security for children, an efficient way of coping with things that are repeatedly necessary, and/or a dulling restriction of spontaneity. If you are stuck in a routine and feel mildly depressed (down to light grey), you can improve things. Here are some possibilities:

• Food Spice it up, experiment, change your diet, change the times you eat, go out for a meal.
• 
• Drink If you do not drink much alcohol, have a few drinks. Go out for an evening with friends and drink a bit too much. If you drink a lot regularly, try cutting down or stopping, or changing the timing.
