			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Something that we all know and hear about all the time, exercise can do a body good. It helps you to stay trim, tone muscles, and helps boost energy levels as well. What you’re probably not aware of, is that exercise can actually help you achieve that great complexion you’ve always wanted.</p>
<p>It’s true that regular exercise will nourish the skin all over the body with fresh blood, oxygen, and nutrients. As well, the increased blood flow and circulation that come with working out will help to draw toxins out of the body and improve the condition of all your vital organs, including your skin.</p>
<p>A lot of people think that sweat can trigger acne flare ups. The fact is, sweating is great for any type of congested skin, as it helps promote the flushing of impurities from the epidermal layer and will clean out the pores. As well, vigorous exercise can actually correct the hormonal imbalances that can trigger blemishes, therefore reducing the likelihood of outbreaks.<span id="more-167"></span></p>
<p>Any physical routine that you like to do, such as yoga, running, biking, spinning, pilates, boxing, and such, will help lessen the stress that you encounter on a daily basis and help to prevent stress related acne. Keep in mind that exercise may not be a miracle cure for everything, as you may still experience breakouts from time to time although your acne will certainly be less severe and last for a much shorter length of time.</p>
<p>Exercise is also great for other skin conditions that may or may not have to do with the presence of acne. Your skin losing its elasticity or becoming thin and less resilient is something that we all encounter. This is a common problem for may of us as we get older.</p>
<p>As we all get older, we start to lose collagen, which will makes us look tired. As many of us don’t know, physical activity can actually help to promote the growth of collagen in your skin cells, which will plump up your facial skin and make you look younger and more vibrant.</p>
<p>If you are worried about wrinkles, you should consider relaxation that comes after you exercise. This has the effect of making your muscles, facial muscles included, soften up. What this means, is that your lines will appear less pronounced, helping to contribute to the youthful look that you are trying to achieve.</p>
<p>Regular exercise can help you achieve better muscle tone, a slimmer waist, softer skin, fewer blemishes, and an overall younger, more fresher look. If you’ve wanted to add or change to your complexion, don’t hesitate to exercise. It will help you feel more alive as well as improve your body.</p>
<p>Protect your skin from aging with Venus Cellagen cream. It  contains plant-derived collagen and essential oils to delay cellular changes associated with aging skin. It is a very original cell regeneration and wrinkle cream because it  uses  powerful ingredients such as <a title="Venus Cellagen anti-wrinkle cream" href="http://www.venusnaturals.com/anti-aging-anti-wrinkle-cream.html" target="_blank">immortelle/everlasting</a> essential oil. Use it daily for a blushing, youthful complexion.</p>
<p>To prevent stress related acne,  an effective all-natural and safe solution for treatment and prevention of  flare-ups is the  <a title="Venus Acne Treatment System" href="http://www.venusnaturals.com/acne-treatment.html" target="_blank">Venus Natural Acne Treatment System</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s a fact that we will all get older, though aging doesn’t have to be the specter looming on the horizon that many fear. You can keep your body healthy through exercise. Combined with diet, exercise is one way to age gracefully. As we age, we lose muscle strength. It is a condition known as sarcopenia. Loss of muscle mass as well as strength can be a fatal combination in the aging population. Strength contributes to one’s balance and flexibility. Without it, a fall can result in a broken hip or arm instead of a possible sprain from catching yourself.</p>
<p>There are no quick fixes to getting into shape. But, you can begin an exercise program at any age and reap the rewards. For seniors, implementing an exercise program may help to reverse the effects of time on your joints, muscles and bones. For women especially, osteoporosis is a threat as you age. So, what types of exercises can you perform? Don’t worry – you won’t be doing any PT training any time soon. You can strive for that but not right away. When choosing your exercise, use these tips.<span id="more-173"></span></p>
<p>* Start slowly. This point can’t be stressed enough. There is nothing to be gained by hitting the ground hard. You are more likely to keep with regular exercise when you find it enjoyable and painless. The best thing about exercise is that it is cumulative. Ten minutes here and there add up in the end.</p>
<p>* Consider aerobic fitness. Aerobic exercise increases heart and lung health. Maybe now you are winded walking up the stairs. After a few weeks, this may change. The benefits of aerobic exercises stretch beyond the gym or walking path into all areas of your life.</p>
<p>* Increase your flexibility with slow movements. Popular exercises for that are yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi. Through slow controlled movements, the body is stretched and relaxed. You won’t sweat buckets but then, an exercise doesn’t have to leave you panting to be effective. Increasing flexibility may combat stiffness in the joints and increase your range of motion for easier movement.</p>
<p>* Don’t forget about strength training. Strength training means challenging the muscles with weights. It can even be your own body weight. Barbells are not the only weight instrument you can use. There are dumbbells, weighted bars, weighted balls, bands and exercise machines to name a few. It is important to hit all muscle groups for overall improvement in strength. Working the back and abdominals (the core) helps with balance and posture.</p>
<p>* The best exercises are sometimes the simplest. You don’t have to be a member of the gym to perform any of the above suggestions. Exercise DVDs are available. You can pop one in whenever it is convenient for you. Walking is a great overall exercise that can be performed in your neighborhood, at a park or even the local mall.</p>
<p>All of us will age. Learn to age gracefully and protect your skin from accelerated aging. All ages can benefit from all natural <a title="Venus Pycnogenol cream" href="http://venusnaturals.com/pycnogenol-cream.html" target="_blank">Venus Pycnogenol cream</a> containing Pure Pycnogenol  Extract.</p>
<p>Use it for repairing damaged skin (sun and scar damage). Use it to help  stop the development of wrinkles. Use it to help lighten dark spots that are the  result of hyper-pigmentation and use it for daily skin care as an excellent base  for foundation and make-up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 10px; float: left;"><img title="seeds and nuts" src="http://www.healthandfitnessoasis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/seeds-nuts.jpg" alt="seeds and nuts" width="200" height="130" /></div>
<p>A variety of nutrients such as vitamins and minerals keep you feeling your best and provides optimal body function.   Vitamin E is one vitamin that’s good for your overall health and is especially mentioned in relation to the skin.</p>
<p>This vitamin is an antioxidant, which are substances in the body that fight the effects of free radicals.   Free radicals are produced from the environment through pollution, smoking, the foods we eat, chemicals we ingest and the simple process of aging.  Antioxidants neutralize these free radicals before they can do damage.    Free radicals can wreak havoc on your body, playing a role in various conditions like heart disease and cancer.<span id="more-142"></span></p>
<p>You can get vitamin E in lotions and cream for direct contact with the skin.  Supplements give you concentrated vitamin E to benefit the entire body.  Vitamin E is also found in foods like nuts, seeds, wheat germ and vegetable oils.  The best form of vitamin E to get is alpha-tocopherol in its alcohol form and not as acetate. The best source for vitamin E is food.</p>
<p>Be careful here, though.  Processing foods can cause the loss of vitamin and minerals including vitamin E.  Eat foods in their natural form with as little processing as possible for maximum benefit.</p>
<p>Why is vitamin E so important?  For one, it is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning that it can incorporate itself into the cellular wall.  Here it protects body cells from breakdown and thus the breakdown of other body tissues.  Getting your daily recommended dose of vitamin E can prevent or help in the treatment of:</p>
<p>* Heart disease<br />
* Asthma<br />
* Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease<br />
* Cataracts and other eye conditions<br />
* Different types of cancer<br />
* Metabolic conditions like diabetes<br />
* Menstrual cramps<br />
* Skin conditions</p>
<p><strong> Vitamin E helps to reduce the signs of aging</strong> such as dry skin (psoriasis), wrinkles, age spots and scars.  It  helps the skin to retain a balanced moisture level that can become unbalanced from the use of cleaning solutions on the skin.  With more water and oil in your skin, it appears plump and vibrant like a healthy organ should.</p>
<p><strong>Andean Rose Cream with Vitamin E</strong></p>
<p>Andean Rose cream contains precious Rosa Mosqueta from the rosehip seeds of one type of wild rose grown in the Andes of South America. It contains an extremely high percentage of essential fatty acids, Vitamin C and Vitamin E.</p>
<p>Scars even 20 years old respond well to this cream when other therapies fail, and burned skin heals faster because of its power to  regenerate tissue. Andean Rose cream with Rosa Mosqueta and Vitamin E is especially valuable in treating damaged skin preventing  sun damage.</p>
<p>Getting your vitamins from food is always best and the addition of all-natural creams containing  Vitamin E can play a major role in the health of your body.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone wants to grow old gracefully.  Some go under the knife to get that youthful look while others opt for a more natural way to maintain that healthy glow.  The way to make peace with age can be found in the types of foods that we eat and the miracle ingredient they contain.</p>
<p>This hidden “miracle” is called antioxidants.  They have graced the pages of magazines, medical journals and every product from hand cream to supplement pills.  But what are antioxidants and what can they do to keep you looking your best?</p>
<p>Antioxidants are substances that fight the aging process that goes on in your body.  They are not produced by the body so to get the benefit of these power-packed substances you must ingest them.  A variety of foods contain antioxidants.<span id="more-116"></span></p>
<p><strong>Fight the aging process</strong></p>
<p>Let’s go back to the beginning.  The body continually replenishes its cells.  Through a process called cellular metabolism, the body produces energy, more cells and repairs any damage.  One by-product of cellular metabolism is unstable molecules called free radicals.</p>
<p>Free radicals are molecules that damage your body.  They are unstable because they are missing an electron.  To get another one and become stable, free radicals will steal electrons from cells.  That theft damages the cells in a variety of ways.</p>
<p>The results are visible and invisible changes to our bodies.  The development of diseases like cancer, diabetes, arthritis and neurological deficiencies may begin to affect you as you age.  Also, thinner skin, wrinkles and brittle bones are a problem.  Free radicals enter our body from outside sources as well: cigarette smoke, radiation and the sun’s UV rays.  The more free radicals we encounter, the greater the damage that can be done.</p>
<p><strong>Antioxidant substances combine with free radicals and neutralize them.</strong> Once they are neutralized, they can no longer do any damage.  Scientists don’t have any idea of a recommended daily dose of antioxidants to correct free radical damage and the diseases that come with age, but they do know that eating foods rich in antioxidants makes a huge difference in how we live.</p>
<p>Where do you find antioxidants?  They are all around us.  Look no further than your local farmer’s market or produce aisle in the grocery store.  Fruits and vegetables contain the principle sources of antioxidants.</p>
<p><strong>Examples of antioxidants include:</strong><br />
* Vitamin C<br />
* Vitamin A<br />
* Vitamin E<br />
* Lutein<br />
* Lycopene<br />
* Beta-carotene</p>
<p>Certain minerals like zinc and selenium also function in the body.  They are not antioxidants but they boost the immune system to fight against free radical damage.</p>
<p>Antioxidants are also found in nuts, legumes, cold water fish, seafood and red meat.  So, eating a varied diet of fruits, vegetables and the foods just named will increase the amount of antioxidants in your system and help reduce the incidence of disease.  Eating fruits and vegetables in their natural form instead of juices brings the benefit of other nutrients found in the foods.  Juices may contain a lot of sugar that is not needed by your body.</p>
<p>Venus Cellagen contains plant-derived collagen and essential oils to delay cellular changes associated with aging skin. It is a very original cell regeneration and wrinkle cream because it  uses  powerful ingredients such as <a title="Venus Cellagen anti-wrinkle cream" href="http://www.venusnaturals.com/anti-aging-anti-wrinkle-cream.html">immortelle/everlasting</a> essential oil.

<div id="body">
<p>Ever since I was a young child I&#8217;ve loved being in the sun. I loved the  outdoors so much that often I would go out skiing, windsurfing and hangliding.  Over the years, these activities took their toll on my skin. My face, neck and  hands especially became extremely dehydrated from the sun and the wind and  looked aged and wrinkled.</p>
<p>I wish now that I had taken care of my skin the way I should have, but  instead I bought the latest, most popular store brands at the drugstore that  never gave me the protection and beauty that they claimed. I had distinct  crow&#8217;s-feet, like ravines going all the way out to the sides of my face and  other creases and lines around my nose and my lips which these companies had  promised to erase.</p>
<p>Around about that time, I asked a good friend of mine with absolutely  gorgeous skin for advice. She recommended giving me a facial massage using a  botanically based natural skin care cream. After the facial my skin glowed and  felt totally rejuvenated. I was amazed at the difference in my skin&#8217;s  appearance.<span id="more-48"></span></p>
<p>I started using natural moisturizing and conditioning products faithfully and  for the first time I was amazed at the difference in my skin. I started a  regular skin care routine using only natural beauty products.</p>
<p>Now, after I garden or go camping or to any areas that are extra dirty, I use  a deep pore cleanser and a natural fruit based exfoliant to remove dead skin and  detoxify any oily pores. Then I moisturize with a <a title="Venus Cellagen anti-wrinkle cream" href="http://www.venusnaturals.com/anti-aging-anti-wrinkle-cream.html" target="_blank">natural plant collagen  anti-aging cream.</a></p>
<p>Today people are suffering with all kinds of skin problems, from  unexplainable skin rashes to adult acne, skin cancer and exzema. People don&#8217;t  want to buy products containing perfumes, animal by-products and chemical  ingredients.</p>
<p>Certain cosmetic preservatives, fragrances, mineral oil and lanolin can cause  itchy rashes, skin damage and asthma-like conditions. People of all skin types  need to cleanse, use sun-protection and moisturize their skin regularly. Even  people with healthy skin need to be aware of the importance of a regular skin  care regimen using natural, normalizing products.</p>
<p>The trend today is towards natural skin care. People know that adding  chemicals to their skin is drying it out, throwing off its PH balance and  causing secondary infections and unusual rashes to occur.</p>
<p>With my natural skin care routine my crow&#8217;s feet, laugh and lip lines are  completely gone. Even though I&#8217;m still as active as ever, I feel like a natural  beauty. The natural conditioning oils have healed my skin from inside and keep  my skin as soft as a baby&#8217;s bottom. My confidence is back around others &#8211; I&#8217;m  still amazed!</p>
<p>Venus Cellagen contains plant-derived collagen and essential oils to delay cellular changes associated with aging skin. It is a very original cell regeneration and wrinke cream because it  uses  powerful ingredients such as <a href="../../anti-aging-anti-wrinkle-cream.html#immortelle">immortelle/everlasting</a> essential oil. Use daily for a blushing, youthful complexion.</div>

The best source for vitamin E is food.<span id="more-27"></span></p>
<p>Be careful here, though.  Processing foods can cause the loss of vitamin and minerals including vitamin E.  Eat foods in their natural form with as little processing as possible for maximum benefit.</p>
<p>Why is vitamin E so important?  For one, it is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning that it can incorporate itself into the cellular wall.  Here it protects body cells from breakdown and thus the breakdown of other body tissues.  It also protects vitamin A while it does its job in the body. Getting your daily recommended dose of vitamin E can prevent or help in the treatment of:</p>
<p>* Heart disease<br />
* Asthma<br />
* Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease<br />
* Cataracts and other eye conditions<br />
* Different types of cancer<br />
* Metabolic conditions like diabetes<br />
* Menstrual cramps<br />
* Skin conditions</p>
<p>People mostly take vitamin E for their skin. As an antioxidant, it helps to reduce the signs of aging such as dry skin (psoriasis), wrinkles, age spots and scars. Vitamin E helps the skin to retain a balanced moisture level that can become unbalanced from the use of cleaning solutions. With more water and oil in your skin, it appears plump and vibrant like a healthy organ should.</p>
<p>Many use vitamin E for scars. This can be from burns, stretch marks (from childbirth or weight training), or surgery.  Vitamin E softens the skin and speeds healing. Over time, the appearance of these scars is reduced.</p>
<p>Getting your vitamins from food is always best, and use supplements if your doctor recommends it. Vitamin E should play a major role in the health of your body.</p>
