Masque anti peau grasse

Masque anti peau grasseOutre une apparence brillante, les peaux grasses se révèlent très accueillantes pour ce qui relève de l'acné et des points noirs. Pour rétablir un certain équilibre épidermique, on tentera donc un masque à base de concombre. Gorgé d'acides minéraux et de vitamines, ce fruit possède un PH proche de celui de la peau. 

On obtiendra ce masque en mixant ensemble un demi-concombre, un blanc d'oeuf et une cuillère à soupe de jus de citron. Posez et laissez agir 15 minutes. Rincez

Auto-massage facial

Auto-massage facialPratiquer soi-même un massage facial reste facile et à portée de mains. Les zones du visage se découpent par différents mouvements.

La peau du front et de la bouche s'étirent horizontalement de gauche à droite avec les indexes. Le menton de haut en bas. Enfin l'oeil, obliquement, avec le renfort de petites pressions. Ces gestes tenseurs réactivent la microcirculation. Ils valent largement les crèmes et sont au surplus gratuits

Health News : know more about fat substitues


Fat substitutes may make people fatter


WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., June 21 (UPI) -- A study using rats suggests synthetic fat substitutes used in low-calorie foods could lead to weight gain instead of weight loss, U.S. researchers say.
Study leader Susan E. Swithers, a Purdue University psychology professor, and colleagues used laboratory rats, giving half of the rats high-fat chow and the other half low-fat chow. Half of the rats in each group also were fed Pringles potato chips that are high in fat and calories and the other half in each group were fed high-calorie Pringles chips on some days and low-calorie Pringles Light chips -- made with olestra, a fat substitute with zero calories that passes through the body undigested -- on other days.

Smoking:consequence


Still Want To Smoke? Look And Decide
FDA-062211.jpg
(RTTNews) - Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the nation, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is estimated that 46 million people, or 20.6% of adults (aged 18 years and older), in the United States smoke cigarettes. Cigarette smoking accounts for about 443,000 deaths, or 1 of every 5 deaths, in the U.S. annually.
A report released by the Center for Disease Control, or CDC for short, last month (May, 2011) said that prominent, pictorial warnings on cigarette packages can motivate smokers to quit and discourage nonsmokers from starting. In line with the findings of the CDC report, the Food and Drug Administration has unveiled a final set of cigarette health warnings containing nine different text and graphic warnings to communicate the dangers of smoking.

Prince William & Kate to Face Off in July 4 Dragonboat Race

Prince William & Kate to Face Off in July 4 Dragonboat RaceWe know Kate can row a boat, but can her able helicopter pilot husband Prince William? 

As more details are released about the couple's much-anticipated North American tour, royal watchers can mark July 4 as when to find out! 

The couple's private secretary, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, says their day on Canada's Prince Edward Island will include a race across a lake – and it will be hands-on. 



"Their Royal Highnesses will … team up with Dragonboat racers, taking a boat each – although I hasten to add, not themselves paddling, though probably steering – and they will race across the lake to the opposite bank where crowds will be gathered," Lowther-Pinkerton reveals. "After congratulating the winning team, the couple will be welcomed by First Nations people with a traditional 'smudging' ceremony."

Britney Spears Takes Down Paparazzi In 'I Wanna Go' Teaser


Britney Spears in her "I Wanna Go" videoIt's been a while since Britney Spears decided to take down the paparazzi in one of her music videos (see "Pieces of Me"). In a new teaser for her "I Wanna Go" clip, a fit and smiling Spears is seeking ninja-like vengeance against her biggest enemies: the paparazzi and their prying lenses.
In the 30-second tease of the Chris Marrs Piliero-directed video, set to officially drop on Wednesday, Spears stands on a Los Angeles soundstage that's set to look like New York City and surveys the scene. She's standing atop a taxi, while cameramen surround her from all angles. Wielding a microphone, the singer whips it around like a weapon, knocking the paps from their positions.
These scenes are intercut with Spears standing alone and singing into that same microphone, wearing the T-shirt depicting a skull with Mickey Mouse ears from the single's cover art.

Eating Healthy Good for Your Body


Introduction

  • Eating healthy consists of consuming a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy oils, low fat dairy and lean animal or plant-based proteins. This balance is outlined in the United States Department of Agriculture's healthy foods pyramid. This pyramid acts as a basic guideline to eating in such a way that you promote a healthy body. Of course, this pyramid can be altered to fit your lifestyle (such as that of a vegetarian), but the same principles apply in getting the right mixture of carbohydrates, healthy fats and protein needed for the body to function correctly.
