Holistic Lifestyle | Supplements | Eating habits etc

Heya all

I used to spend so much time here posting when this site first started it's unbelievable! How did I find so much time?!! Woah!!

Anyway, I just wanted to share a little and make the most of my little *time back* here .... I had made a page that shared what my eating habits and supplements were at that time 4 years ago thou they have certainly changed now.

Now I don't take so many supplements as I used to then only things like Flax Oil, a multivatimin, LGlutamine, Q-10 Coenzyme, Magnesium .... and diet wise well I could improve on my eating habits thou I'm fairly healthy in what I choose to eat; sticking to greens, vegetables, baked potatoes, always have breakfast ie protein shake or high fibre cereal; lots of water - at least 2 litres of Evian a day; I workout regularly and that has probably helped a lot - I do

# Hatha, Asthanga, Chakra and Tantra Kriya Yoga
# Weight training
# Winsor Pilates
# Cardio on the stationery bike, stepper, threadmill, elliptical
# Aerobics
# Lynne Robinson's normal pilates

to name a few; averaging about say 10 hours or so a week; with 5am wake up calls (argh!)

I meditate regularly using the Centerpointe Programme every night; plus also have a huge range of other guided meditations etc etc etc that I use to help heal mind body and soul.

I don't drink, nor smoke and try to get at least 7-8 hours sleep a night. Working a stressful 10 hour day at work as well - you can imagine where my time goes (smiles). I listen to meditative tapes in the car on the way to and from work and find it all helps .... as for me personally I find that when I'm stressed, my body and skin plays up.

It's taken me years to get to this stage and I can understand that as teenagers out there, a lot of you want to party, drink to excess and have lots of binge foods etc ... I guess you all know that we are what we eat ... thou some sites will say that it's not true ... it is to a certain extent. Foods are healing; a healthy lifestyle is healing ....

I'm tired; so keeping this short!

Be Happy

To find out what supplements you need specifically for your own body, I highly recommend you make an appointment with a Kinesiologist who can do some muscle testing and find out what supplements your body needs and also do a full body diagnostic and who can recommend what steps you can take in order to heal your body. Yeah, I know, What is Kinesiology? < click on link to read :-)

I had a kinesiologist years ago and he guided me on the supplements that I personally needed to take and it helped me a lot on the road back to recovery / healing in what my body needed regards to my stomach issues, acne, irregular periods etc, back pain from whiplash injury etc etc. I really should go back and see a kinesiologist again as I'm sure I'm lacking in some supplements currently and could use some professional help etc.

For a quick note on supplements and acne, here's a link:

Best!

Thx Joe :-) Trust me, I do have acne scars and red facial marks like most of us that have suffered from acne; and yes make up helps to camouflage it. I guess there are different levels from minor, medium, average, to severe acne scars. Mine are on the surface like the scars you get from chicken pox I guess - don't know what the official term for it is; and I have uneven skin tone - depends on the time of the month as sometimes my skin looks *normal* and healthy and at other times when I'm stressed, it looks red and uneven toned; and oily. I have a deep scar on my nose from early teens (can't even remember it) and I don't think anything can fix that one!! Oh maybe the procedures the guys talk about on the scar board perhaps but cos it's on the side of my nose it doesn't bother me too much (unless I really look at it). I don't wear much make up and like to stay natural looking as I possibly can and yet help camouflage the uneven skin tone (don't we all hey (smiles) and I personally can tell where my acne scars are and can remember the nightmare of some of them vividly still and how long they lasted! Argh!

Rianne recommended to me Natura Bisse's Glyco Peeling and for me personally it has really helped with the facial redness and uneven skin tone. My mother is highly judgemental (argh) and even she has commented that my skin tone has improved tremendously the past year or so since using Natura Bisse skin products. The Natura Bisse products have a kind of bleaching effect on the skin and I'm not supposed to go outside without sun block especially after I've done a Gyco Peel session and I can do a peel twice a week for a couple of months. My skin had to build up to it though and I used the lower strength first. I read somewhere that the Glyco Peel has an effect on helping to reduce acne break outs as well (actually I saw that on a plastic surgery / facial rejuvenation programme on satellite tv). I'll post more on that in the appropriate conversation room at some later time in the next day or so

Remember the photo isn't a close up and I'm sure most of us here could pass off in a normal photo and look normal and if it was close up, the scars would be noticeable. Even Demi Moore has noticeable scars on a close up on the big screen :-)

It's taken a lot of hard work to get my skin to where it is today and it's a work in progress; and hard work, like exercising and trying to maintain a healthy body!

Take care
Just Me
