Anti-Aging-Do You Want to Look Older?

Anti-Aging vs The Natural Look

Satisfied with What You See in the Mirror?????

If the Answer is Yes, Please Disregard

Bodybydoug-

     If you are going to a professional for skin care treatments do the research required and seek out someone who is keeping up with the latest trends. 

At the moment that seems to be some type of bio-brasion and ultrasound. The idea here for the over 40 crowd is to look younger without going over the edge.

 No need for 20 different facelifts that in the end give you that unnatural crazy eyed look.

     For the do it a home group I recommend vitamin C for brightening, mangosteen for topical antioxidant protection and overall firming, skin tone and radiance.

 But with that being said let's not overlook the obvious. Five easy to follow tips for that youthful appearance.

.....if you want to look older than keep smoking and don't wear sunscreen.

 Smoking will destroy collagen in the skin and deplete oxygen available for rejuvenation and increase wrinkling around the mouth. 

And we all know that the sun is enemy number one in the anti-aging fight.


.....if you want to look older stop exfoliating. Skin always looks better with the dead skin cells gone. 

After the exfoliation be sure to use your glimpse complete moisturizing system.

.....if you want to look older go gray. After 40 the pigment in the hair really begins to fade.

 Options for changing your hair color are everywhere.

 Also the trace element of copper will help in restoring hair color but consult someone in the health food industry.


.....if you want to look older never change your hair, clothing, or make-up style.

 Trends change and so should you. Wearing something trendy in the 80's isn't going to cut it. 


.....if you want to look older than never whiten your teeth. Teeth stain and grow darker with age. 

Again there are products out that are harmful to your enamel. Do the research.


     These are just a few suggestions. The number one thing besides wrinkles that give away a women's age is never changing up your look. Don't be afraid to be youthful.

Skin Care Remedies- Stretch Marks/Not Just For Women

Have I Been Pregnant, Because I've Looked Pregnant ?

Fighting Stretch Marks no Matter Your Gender

Bodybydoug-

     Ok some of the ladies may be laughing, but stretch marks occur on men who have been overweight and those who have stretched the skin around the chest area by pumping heavy weight.

 Stretch marks around the chest area tend to stay pink, red and purple. Stretch marks around the abdomen and butt area will tend to fade to white.

 Stretch marks occur with rapid weight gain and then losing the added weight, and yes men can gain weight rapidly to. I am proof of that. So to help both genders, here are some tips.

.....believe it or not. Mix a tablespoon of raw sugar with 5 drops of lemon juice and almond oil. Apply the paste to the affected area and shower after 5 minutes. Will take up to a month.

.....believe it or not. The protein and amino acids in egg whites proves to be an effective remedy. Apply with a new paint brush or makeup brush, let the area dry, remove with warm water and moisturize the area.

.....believe it or not. Break off a stock from the Aloe Vera plant and apply directly to the stretch marks. Leave on for 15 minutes and then remove with warm water. In addition mix Aloe Vera gel with Vitamin E oil and let the mixture absorb into the skin. Apply daily.

.....believe it or not. Apply castor oil everyday to the area and massage in until absorbed. Cover the area with a thin cloth and place a heating pad on for 30 minutes. Continue treatment for at least a month. {Castor oil works great on acne, wrinkles and brown spots}.

.....believe it or not. Applying fresh lemon juice in a circular motion and leave on for 10 to 15 minutes. Gently wipe area clean. Also mix 1/2 fresh lemon with honey and leave on for 10 to 15 minutes. The honey acts as a moisturizer.

.....believe it or not. The juice of the potato is effective. Slice one in half and apply. After a few minutes wipe clean.

.....believe it or not. Cocoa butter works. Also try Alfalfa leaves mixed with chamomile oil to nourish and moisturize the skin. Apply for 5 minutes and remove with warm water. 

     No reason to be stuck with stretch marks. Over the years the girls have developed many home remedies to combat the problems. Well done!

Anti-Aging-Before the Wrinkles Appear

If You Ignore This, Well Welcome to the Older Looking You

Tips For the Under 30 Crowd

Bodybydoug-

     No we can't stay young forever, but for the under 30 crowd some smart choices now will delay the onset of premature aging of the skin and keep that youthful glow. 

Living in the cleanest environment possible is a step in the right direction. Your lifestyle choices are going to make the biggest impact, exercise, diet and facing the day with a positive mindset.

     Huge advances in research and a greater understanding of skin structure have lessened the anti-aging struggle. There is an endless supply of treatments, and injectables available today. 

Buyer beware, make sure you do your homework. You should be aware that you are dealing with something that can be permanently damaged, haste can lead to disaster.

Tips to Live By-

.....be picky about your cleansing products and moisturizes. Improving the collagen structure of the skin includes moisturizers with a strong antioxidant base. Recommendation of the day...use a copper peptide serum at night.

.....a diet rich in water based vegetables. I know not to exciting, but foods that are natural diuretics have been known to delay wrinkling. Melons, berries and cucumbers are a good start.

 It seems like a huge contradiction, vegetables that add moisture and yet work like a diuretic to get rid of excessive fluid. Just do it the science is real LOL.

.....don't rely on cosmetic products for your sun protection, as the SPF in these products isn't enough. Rays can come through on rainy, cloudy and snowy days. Don't let the weather fool you.


.....test yourself. Choose a day and count the number of times you squint in a day. If you need glasses get them. Wear sunglasses out of doors. Make yourself aware of this habit and break it.


.....use a straw, smoking or drinking out of a bottle with a small opening. All this lead to increasing the likelihood of wrinkling around the mouth.


.....try sleeping on your back with some type of Beauty Rest Pillow. Hard to control, but over the years having your face pressed into a pillow will mold the wrinkles in permanently. 


     I've mentioned some of these before, but a gentle reminder to make smarter choices along the way.

The Art of Weight-Loss # 5

The Art of Weight-Loss-You will get there

                                

The terms 'fat loss' and 'weight loss' often get used interchangeably, but they shouldn't. 


     If you lose a pound of fat, then technically you should weigh a pound less.

 This however is hard to detect if your daily water fluctuation and the amount of food and drinks you have in your body can be as much as 5-7lbs in any given day.

 If you just drink a few glasses of water you will easily be a pound heavier due to the extra water weight added to your body.

 Eating a big meal can easily add 3-5 pounds of weight to your body while you're digesting and assimilating the food.

 These are temporary gains in bodyweight and do not necessarily mean you've gained body mass be it fat or muscle.

 It's really just food in your gut. Understanding that your daily body 'weight' can fluctuate 3-5 pounds just from the weight of the food you have eaten it's not surprising that you may not really be able to detect a 1 pound decrease in fat mass.

 At least not detectable on a scale. Also when you have a significant amount of fat to lose (in excess of 40lbs) your body will be carrying excess water along with the excess fat. 

This means that if and when you decide to start cutting fat you will experience a 'weight' loss that exceeds your actual 'fat' loss.

 As you lose body fat you will also lose a certain amount of excess water retention. 

This is a good thing as excess water makes you look smooth and bloated and it takes away from your muscular definition.

     It's typical for someone to lose twice as much 'weight' as 'fat' in the initial stages of a fat loss cut down.

 Someone who needs to drop 40lbs will likely see a big weight loss at the beginning.

 It's a good bet that in the first 2-4 weeks at least 50% of the 'weight' that is coming off is water, the rest is actual fat.

 This higher ratio of weight loss to fat loss starts to drop as you get to lower body fat percentages.

 It seems that as you drop below 15% body fat you can assume that most of the actual weight you lose is due purely to fat loss.


     Finally when you're close to 10% body fat or lower you may notice that you get visibly leaner and can lose fat without seeing your bodyweight change much at all. 

At this final stage you will be lean enough that even minor changes in fat levels will make a difference on your visible definition.

 These changes will be proportionally small when it comes to measurable weight, however the changes they make to your visible definition will be big.

 It's true that losing 1 pound of fat when you're body fat is 25% will not even be noticeable, however losing a full pound of fat when your body fat is 10% will make a dramatic difference in your look even if the scale doesn't budge at all. 

Your muscle hydration and weight training status will also change how full and heavy your muscles are on a day to day basis. Having fully hydrated and glycogen loaded muscles can dramatically increase your bodyweight, even if it only lasts for a day or two.

 This ability of your muscles to swell with water, nutrients and glycogen can also throw off your measurement of fat loss vs weight loss.

 When you're very lean you can actually lose fat, and even gain weight at the same time. These likely won't be huge swings but it's definitely possible.


     With automaticbody you can lose fat without losing weight.

 You can even gain weight while losing fat. If you have lots of fat to lose, you'll start out by losing significantly more weight than is accounted for by fat due to a reduction in water retention…this is a good thing.

 When you're approaching 10% body fat and attempting to cut even lower you will likely get leaner without seeing much of a change in bodyweight. 

(This odd effect is partly why people think the last 10 pounds are harder to lose.) 

In reality they're still losing fat but the total amount of weight that is coming off starts to slow down.

 Aren’t you tired of starting and failing, starting and failing, take control this year and finish this weight-loss journey once and for all. Move forward into your new life.

Bodybuilding and the Perfect V

Sculpting the Shredded Look

Ab Workout Routine-

Can you Really Form that "V"

Bodybydoug-

Bodybuilding workouts for mass, bodybuilding workouts for cardio, bodybuilding workouts for strength, bodybuilding workouts for weight-loss, bodybuilding workouts for definition, bodybuilding workouts for cutting and getting shredded, bodybuilding workouts for the over 40, this series of 12 will get you there!!!

I work with struggling entrepreneurs who want to get honest about their financial problems.

 

 I work with People who want to take control of their own health and  leave the Medication behind!!!

     Getting the "V" formation and sculpting the perfect set of abs may be easier for the genetically blessed, but you and me the average individuals can obtain them also.

 Although exercise and diet are important aspects in the bodybuilding lifestyle, diet is the most relevant aspect in the bodybuilding arsenal when it comes to the abs and there appearance.

 With most of us the first place the excess weight goes is the abdomen and in order to get that super shredded look diet is the superstar here. 

     As far as the workouts for the "V" formation we need to concentrate on the lower abs, the obliques and the lower back. 

Don't overwork the muscles, they like other body parts need rest and a 48 hour rest should be sufficient. 

Like all workouts the warmup is essential, being done with body weight and stretching to force extra blood into the abs.

 In addition the abs like any other muscle group require moderate to heavy weight to grow.

 Doing a 1000 crutches in a workout it NOT the way to go. 

A cautionary note here if you tend to be chunkier around the waist area stay away from side bents, especially with weights.

The Workout-after the warmup-

Hanging Leg Raises-add weight and lift the knees

     4 sets@ 6 to 12 reps.

Hanging Leg Twist and Raise-add weight

     4 sets@ 6 to 12 reps


Reverse Crunch-add weight or not and do variations just to mix it up
     4 sets@ 15 to 20 reps


Decline Russian Twist-add weight
      4 sets@ 6 to 12 reps


Extensions-don't ignore the lower back- don't hurt your lower back, once established with the movement start adding plates held to the chest
    5 sets@ 10 to 15 reps

Keep at it, dedication and commitment make for a powerful YOU!!

Moving from Nasty to Nice

Moving from Nasty to Nice has far more to do with health and longevity  than it does with physical appearance or one's perception of oneself. 

Well at least in this article it does. Aging comes with a variety of issues and you're  never too young to start addressing them. 

Anti-Aging and the Sun

Young people love to get those tan lines activated, thinking that 50 is a long way off and life will be over anyway. 

Let me assure you though as I'm quickly approaching 55 there is still a song or two

inside of me. Other externals to avoid are smoking, recreational drugs,

Anti-Aging and the things to Avoid

 excessive alcohol use. Moving from Nasty to Nice is about the internal practices we perform day in and day out that keep us free in the last 10 or 15 years of our lives from being in and out of the hospital or nursing home. Living free and independent until one day we just simply surrender our lives back to the creator.

5 "Super Swaps" That Will Make Losing A Few Extra Pounds Easy! Losing extra pounds isn't about elimination; it's about finding healthier options. Many people attempt an entire diet overhaul and just end up feeling overwhelmed with the process. Instead, if you can simply focus on replacing some of the foods that you shouldn't be eating, you'll fare that much better. Remember, all these little small changes add up to big results! Here are five of my favourites: Get Hummus Instead Of Mayo The first swap to make is to go for hummus rather than mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is loaded with unhealthy saturated fat while hummus is rich of healthy fats that will do your heart well. Hummus works well with a number of different foods including homemade tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or simply as a side to your main meal. Swap Sugar For Stevia Sugar is one thing in your diet that you need to try and remove. Those who are consuming too much sugar will never reach their weight loss goals and worse, will battle ongoing hunger and energy lows throughout the day. Whenever you feel you need a bit of added sweetness in your diet, try going for Stevia instead. This natural sweetener is far healthier for the body and won't provide any additional calories either, so it's an ideal choice for those looking to get lean fast. Choose Greek Yogurt Over Frozen Or Regular Yogurt Have a craving for something creamy? Many people think that yogurt is a smart choice because it's low in fat and marketed in a "healthy" way. However most yogurts are loaded with sugar or fillers (obesegens). A far smarter food to be adding to your diet plan is Greek yogurt, which is high in protein, calcium, and low in sugar. Add a little fresh fruit to sweeten it up naturally. Looking for a cool treat, try freezing it in a popsicle mould for a refreshing afternoon snack or dessert. Exchange Spices for Sauces Finally, the last swap to make is to exchange sauces for spices. There are hundreds of delicious spices that can flavour foods with out adding calories. 200-300 calories here and there can add the pounds on fast. So reach for the spice rack instead! Keep these food swaps in mind as you go about your diet plan. Start looking for little things that you can change and you will see what a big difference these swaps can make. Veggies For Pasta It might sound crazy, but there are so many veggies that make amazing "noodles." Use a veggies peeler to slice squash (zucchini is my favourite) into long flat noodles or use a simple spirooli or veggetti to make long skinny noodles. The one in the pic was less then $20 at Bed Bath and Beyond! This will save you a ton of calories and also save your blood sugar from spiking and putting you into a carb coma! LOWER FAT BASIL PESTOMakes about 1 cup Ingredients: 2 cups fresh basil leaves, packed 2 medium cloves of garlic 1/4 cup part-skim ricotta 3 tablespoons good olive oil 1 oz parmesan cheese, grated 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Instructions: In a food processor, whiz the basil and garlic until minced. Add the ricotta, and use the feed tube to stream in the olive oil. Stir in cheese and seasonings, toss with the veggie noodles and serve. A little bit of the pesto goes a long way! A spoonful is all you need. Hint - Freeze the extra basil pesto in ice cube tray for perfect portion sizes! You can also use silken tofu if you prefer dairy free.

automaticbody-Healthy For the Summer Months

Happy April:From Your Celebrity Automatic Body Coach! Summer is rapidly approaching and there's no better time to "hop" into a good healthy routine. This month I want you to focus on the one single thing that will make the biggest change in your life. It will change the way you look and feel and while it takes a bit of creative thinking, it's life changing and I really mean that, LIFE CHANGING! Are you ready for the ONE SMALL CHANGE? Here you go, let's do this! This month I want you to focus on eating foods that have ONLY ONE INGREDIENT. I'm sure your head is spinning and it should be because I want you to get creative. You can combine your "one ingredient foods" but try not to buy them already combined. The benefits: No need to de-code complicated food labels. Most foods that have one ingredient don't have, or need, food labels. Example: apples, berries, green beans, chicken, nuts, etc. Save money and spare yourself calories and chemicals found in store bought sauces. Instead, use fresh spices and citrus Ex: fresh rosemary, basil, garlic, a squeeze of lemon or lime, fresh tomatoes, etc. Cleanse for the summer! No need for complicated fancy cleanses. The simple act of getting processed foods out of your diet will do wonders for your digestive system. Don't forget to add in your Skinne, Fuel, and Energe to keep you on track. Yes, they have more then one ingredient, but these ingredients are worth the exception and I want to be sure you all get enough protein, keep your fat on the move, and kick the cravings all while feeling amazing and energetic! Here is a list to start with in order to get you thinking creatively: Protein - Chicken, Turkey, Fish, Shrimp, Flank steak and Beans just to name a few. Carbs - Quinoa, Brown Rice, Oatmeal, Sweet potatoes/yams, fruit and endless veggies. Fats - Avocado, nuts and nut butters, coconut oil, olives and olive oil, seeds. Here are a few swaps that will help: Taco shells, tortillas, and bread - Replace with lettuces wraps/cups. Romaine and cabbage are great as well! Chips and salty snacks - Use instead apple chips, kale chips, sliced cucumber, roasted chickpeas, endive leaves. Pasta - Exchange for zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, shredded cabbage, or eggplant slices for lasagna noodles. Sweets – Reach for apples baked with oats honey and cinnamon, Greek yogurt blended with berries and frozen into popsicle molds, nuts drizzled with honey, frozen grapes. Salad dressings – Try olive oil and vinegar with a splash of citrus. Add in a bit of maple syrup or stevia or herbs to change it up. Skip the mayo and blend up some chickpeas with peppers, herbs, or spices to create a simple hummus. Make homemade pesto with basil, garlic, nuts, and olive oil to top your chicken breast or veggies and serve over a bed of quinoa. Mash up an avocado add in a little a little lemon, sea salt and pepper and cilantro for a perfect spread of dip for all your veggies or meats. Dice up some tomatoes with onions, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro and parsley for a great burst of flavor for eggs, salads, or mixed in with ground turkey over brown rice or in a lettuce cup. Click the video below to see my five favorite snacks! Celebrity Trainer This is one of my favorite healthy snacks! Ingredients:1 avocado 5 large basil leaves 1 clove garlic 2 teaspoons of lime juice ¼ teaspoon of sea salt 1 dash of pepper 1 cucumber 1 sprinkle paprika for the topDirections:1. Use a mandolin to cut the cucumber into long thin slices. 2. Blend all the ingredients (except the cucumber and paprika) in a food processor and thinly spread on the cucumber. 3. Roll the slices up and sprinkle with paprika. You can do the same thing with hummus. The cucumber is watery and softens quickly so assemble right before you plan on eating them!
