Healthy Eating The Right Way

Healthy Eating The Right Way




A balanced healthy lifestyle is important when it comes to having healthy skin and a healthy body!

Everyone has their own way of doing things and that is perfectly OK, no one is to judge whether you eat a certain piece of fruit or have carrot smoothies. We are all different, but I would love to share a few things that I like to enjoy and I admit, I need to do more often!

Incorporating certain things into your diet, like Oatmeal, Fruit high in antioxidants are wonderful for your body, and regular exercise! 

Whenever you feel like you are craving sugar, reach over for a piece of fruit. Fruit has the natural sugars we need to replenish our bodies and are healthier for you than an Oreo! Make yourself a fresh fruit salad! Also, better yet, put some fruit in your water! Not only will it naturally flavour your water, it will also help you get the recommended dose of H2O! 

Oatmeal is a great start to the day. It has the power to fill your stomach up quickly so you can portion your meals better. Also, oatmeal is fantastic in your yogurt and adding fruit makes it more enjoyable.

Aslong as you are getting the recommended fibre intake in a day then you will feel so much better as the day goes on. 

Exercise is a huge lifestyle must! Whether it is a long extensive walk or a 5km run ride, your body will thank you from the inside out!

The reason I chose to do a lifestyle article is because everything we do with our body and what we put into it, shows up on our skin. If you are putting damaging ingredients or have an unhealthy lifestyle, it will show. Your skin will look dull, uneven skin tone, lack of a healthy glow and your body will feel sluggish. 

Schedule a month session for yoga classes or dedicate and commit yourself to the gym! After a month of a lifestyle change you are guaranteed to see results. If it helps to make a chart for each day of the week to stay organized, then do that! The more you are committed to something, the more willingness you have to staying honest with a routine. 

Enjoy this post and any comments, please let me know! What are your tricks and tips?

Education 101 on Compromising Ingredients in Some Products

Can I mix products without compromising effectiveness of the ingredients?

Answer is:

Yes you can! But you should never mix any products with SPF in them! It dilutes the sunscreen and your chances of being protected just diminished by 70%!

Never mix a product that has:

* Salicylic Acid
* Glycolic Acid
* Alpha- Hydroxy Acid

With:

* Hydroquinone
* Retinol
* Vitamin C products

The acids will breakdown these products and some of these products are meant for exfoliation. If you mix them with other products that are not meant to be mixed you could experience a deeper issue that could potentially burn your skin and/or cause a severe rash!

Just please be cautious and always read labels as they are important in everything we use in our day to day lives.
