The Art of Natural Slimming

 

You are Worthy of Love. Happiness and love do not come as a size dress or a weight on the scales.

Surround yourself with positive people who care for and support you.

No that does not mean you need to join a cultish weight loss program and spend half your life on a forum mixing with people who will give you hugs when you share your life problems, or praise you when you loose kilo.

            By all means if you spend your working hours in a highly active job as a labourer then spending your spare time on line in forums may be beneficial to you. However chances are that the reason you are reading this is because you have not been eating as healthy as you would like to and have not been as active or exercised as much as your body needs in order to be as healthy as it can be.

           

Question:

What is the best use of my time now?

 

Your Answer:

………………………………………………………

 

I will allow you to fill in those blanks for yourself, as this is your life you want to improve.

 

My Answer

My reply is that I need to achieve and maintain sufficient motivation to stay focused on caring for my self.

I will best achieve this by mixing with positive life loving and achieving people. Not necessarily ones who are only interested in weight loss and body fitness.

 

Tip:

The art of natural slimming is more about what is going on in your mind outside or the focus on your weigh. That means you really can stop weighing yourself every day or even every week, if you choose. You really do not have to join a program and weigh in every week in order to be naturally healthy slim.

 

Warning:

Anyone can lose weight. Just dehydrate.

Your body is mainly composed of water. Water is as essential to your life as oxygen. In good health you can only live for three days without water. In sickness or infancy this might only be twenty-four hours. Dehydration will show as weight loss. This is not something to become elated about. Get off the scales, eat a balanced diet and drink more water.

 

 

Technical information:

Textbook of Medical Physiology states that "the total amount of water in a man of average weight (70 kilograms) is approximately 40 litres, averaging 57 percent of his total body weight.

In a newborn infant, this may be as high as 75 percent of the body weight, but it progressively decreases from birth to old age, most of the decrease occurring during the first 10 years of life. Also, obesity decreases the percentage of water in the body, sometimes to as low as 45 percent.

There is not, and cannot be, a figure that is exactly the same for all people. Jackson's (1985) Anatomy & Physiology for Nurses gives a figure of 60% for the proportion of body-weight attributable to water

Recall on 3 Litre Milk from Woolworths Supermarket. 10/03/2011
 
Picture
Letting my own family know about this recall as they buy the large 3 liter bottles.   Reg and I use powdered skim milk. We find that the most convenient because we travel so much.  I topped up on my powdered milk supplies while out shopping today.  it has been an absolutely beautiful spring day.  We came home after walking around the town and did a little gardening before settling in, Reg to watch his fishing show in TV and me to do some more novel editing work.  Just taking a brief break to say 'Hi.'

Woolworths is trying to reassure customers that a recall of some of its Home Brand milk is just a precautionary measure.

 
SIDS: Many Deaths No Longer A Mystery. 07/16/2011

Rethinking SIDS: Many Deaths No Longer A Mystery : NPR
www.npr.org

For years, little was known about why babies died suddenly and unexpectedly in their sleep. But now, many of these deaths are believed to be preventable accidents caused by unsafe sleep practices. That's led some to question whether the term sudden infant death syndrome is still relevant.

I disagree
One size doesn't it all.


I think Moon, is pushing her own belief.  Sleeping on the back is OK if your not congested in the lungs with mucous. for starters.
If I had a child who was chocked up with mucous, a Cystic Fibrosis baby for instance I would be postural draining, as in sleeping the child side to side, or they might choke and die on their backs.

Most SIDS deaths are unexplained not suffocation from the bedding or toys.  Those deaths are usually determined as suffocation accidents and not falsely labeled SIDS.  In the past in fact, it was more common to have written suffocation on the death certificate than SIDS and falsely blame the pet cat or such like to try to explain the death. 
To say that "All the babies who died suddenly and unexpectedly have all died in unsafe sleep environments," Moon says. "These are all cases that could have been prevented."I find very cruel to the great many parents of SIDS death babies who were highly educated about providing safe environments for their children.

I think her statement may be true in her locality but it is far from the facts overall. I have known of too many intelligent parents who have had a SIDS death in the family or a close call with one, to believe this.  Also have a medical background and have never seen any evidence that most cases called SIDS were accidental suffocation.

What is the Best Soap for Sensitive Skin? 05/12/2011
 
Picture
Best thing for the skin is no soap.

In the pH scale 7 is considered neutral and soap is in the alkaline range, usually 8, p or even 10.
Even pH neutral soaps are far too alkaline for skin at a pH of 7.
The human skin is on the acid side of the scale at a slightly acidic, pH of 5.5



I once made hand made soap and I have a health science degree and some understanding of the physiology of the skin.   I sold the soap I made from as natural and safe materials as I could find, to people who use soap. If anyone ever asked me if the 'for sensitive skin soap' was suited for sensitive skin, my answer was an honest, no soup is suited to human skin and most especially not for sensitive skin.

Regardless of the materials used soap is an alkaline product and human skin is slightly acidic at 5.5 t pH

Soap removes the natural oil mantle over the skin. I have not used soap on my skin for 45 year - I kid you not and I never intend to again.

I do use a pH balanced range of haircare and you can purchase correct pH for the skin oils and lotions and cleansers (not soap) from the chemist and elsewhere. I did have an excellent aloe Vera one once.

I too have goats milk soap and glycerine based soap, all hand made. I use these to wash dirty hands with only and never any more sensitive skin than that.
