Looking Forward- Shows in your Complexion

By Juanita A. Davenport

What is the largest organ in the body? If you answered the skin, you're right! Also did you know that women's skin seems to age more easily than men's do because women's skin is thinner? The biggest aging factor that damages the skin and causes wrinkles are smoking, free radicals, and excess sun injury. We can reduce the exterior influences as well as our internal wellness and thinking for healthier skin.

University studies have proven the fact that stress is a major cause of sickness and disease. Trauma in your childhood also causes stress. Because you could not express your true emotions in your childhood, the anxiety may have been carried over into your present life. When we can reduce stress and anxiety accordingly, we can improve our natural radiance and health.

Wrinkles can be the result of repressed rage, frustration, shame, and self-judgment about yourself, your job, your relationships (or lack of a relationship), or even the world situation cause stress at a deep level in the muscle tissue. Along that line of thinking you may see the emotional reasons for the body to accumulate wrinkles and lines in the face or even be the root cause of the disease called Fibromyalgia. Lyme disease often looks and feels like Fibromyalgia.

Going within through meditation helps release stress. Exercise, therapy, and Reiki energy clearing can also help you relieve stress. Most people have heard about Transcendental Meditation. It is commonly called "TM" and its practice has given notably positive results in some peoples' outward appearance, well-being, health, and longevity.

Anytime you connect with your inner being (your higher self) you are helping establish a sweet relationship with the health and appearance of your body.

Getting a good night's sleep is essential to beauty and good health. Try to go to bed at the same time every night. Count the hours that you have in bed - eight hours are best. If you have to get up early some morning then try to go to bed earlier the night before. It does not make good sense to stay up late when you know you have to arise extra early the next day.

You really don't need to cook food much at all, if any, because you need the life force and enzymes that are found naturally stored by mother nature in fresh live food. Eating fresh foods that you prepare yourself is life giving. Because of industry's over processed food there is very little or not any nutrition left in so-called food for your body.

Eating right is the first step to reversing the sands of time. You can feel better, look younger, and live longer through enjoyable, easy healthy practices. - 15995
