The Truth about Diet and Weight Loss
The Truth about Diet and Weight Loss
I want to talk tonight about weight loss. It’s a subject everyone is worried about. And the problem is that diets don’t work. Everybody has tried a diet. I haven’t met a person yet that’s hasn’t tried something, from kids to people in their eighties; everybody has tried some kind of diet and they just don’t work. In recent studies when they looked at a lot of their major diets (some good one’s, Atkins, The Zone), they put them all together statistically and found a ten pound weight loss on average. Now, these people lost a hundred pounds and gained it back of course. But, all that work, all that money, all those videos, for ten pounds of weight loss?

Weight loss is generally the first step to fitness. The obsession to lose weight in order to look good is prevalent amongst all age groups and almost in a strong intensity.
However, as we always say that excess of everything is bad, the same is the case with weight loss as well, especially for your skin. Well, to begin with, excessive weight loss, especially that occurs over a short period of time leads to loosening of the skin and development of the much-dreaded stretch marks.
Besides, excessive weight loss is often accompanied by an overall weakness in body, which is quite strongly reflected in the health of your skin. Your skin needs a regular supply of rich nutrients, both through the diet and cosmetics. When you are on a spree to lose weight, this often gets ignored and the impact soon begins to show on your skin.

You might not have realized it yet, but your skin is one of the most sensitive organs you have. Any negative input in your body, whether physical or psychological has a direct impact on your skin and starts showing immediately. An individual facing a lot of stress in life will give an expression that simply says it all.
That is exactly why alcohol is absolutely a taboo for those who have a keenness for a glowing and healthy skin. To talk of it scientifically, alcohol cuts off the supply of vitamin A to the body. This further leads to the decrease in the role of skin as a defense against bacteria and infections.
Besides, this vitamin A is also used by the body to help in generation of new cells required to replace the dead ones. This lack of essential nutrients further leads to formation of harmful freer radicals, slowly damaging the elastic fibers and collagen, which keep the skin strong and flexible.

THE PIGMENTATION PROBLEM

Fairness has almost been an obsession in women with a darker skin. So much so, that an entire industry flourishes just by developing and manufacturing a series of fairness enhancing products, from creams and lotions to even bars and soaps.
However, the majority of such people, especially women do not realize that what has caused their complexion to be on the darker side is not an external problem, but the result of a natural phenomenon. As you might know, the process and volume of pigmentation in the skin determines the kind of complexion you have. The host of fairness creams you might be using can definitely give you a temporary glow, but they definitely can’t manage to alter this natural balance in your skin.
Besides, as nature suggests, it is always wise to respect the way God has made you and try to maintain that, instead of going in for complete alterations, in the face of false notions and beliefs.

WHY MEN NEED SKIN CARE
Fables and mythologies have always talked about women going in for elaborate beauty treatments and pampering themselves to the hilt. This is perhaps the reason why our minds have been conditioned to associate the term skin care only with women.
On the contrary, the fact remains that God has bestowed each of the human beings with the same skin structure, but with different hormonal set-ups. This is the main reason we tend to ignore skin care in men as against that in women. Mens skin needs an equal, even at times, a greater amount of care due the increased amount of exposure they have to the external atmosphere.
Besides, men, in general do not tend to use as many specialized products as women, which is the main reason why their skin often gets rough and unkempt. To talk of the least, at the least the famous 3-step regimen has to be followed religiously to maintain the basic health of the skin.
