Ever wonder why fad diets, obsessive exercising, or diet pills always seem to fail at the very task they are supposed to accomplish?  That’s because the true path to health and wellness is comprehensive. Contrary to conventional belief, wellness is not simply the absence of disease, but a physical, emotional, and spiritual state of being that enables you to realize your true potential. Sure, eating the right foods and incorporating exercise into your routine will promote health, but just as important is the process of clarifying your own goals in terms of what optimal health means to you.  Just as there is no single diet that will work for everyone, there is no single path to wellness.

If you’re ready to finally leave behind limiting belief patterns and achieve optimal health, it may be time to choose a wellness program that addresses your needs in a holistic way.  Not only do most wellness programs offer goal-setting, nutritional counseling, and exercise tips, but also life coaching guidance that will help you identify what obstacles are keeping you from being your perfect, healthy self.

With the help of holistic health professionals using techniques employed by doctors, psychologists, and personal trainers, a wellness program can be tailored to meet your needs in as little or as much time as you have. Negative mental patterns can be reversed with techniques like neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), nutritional deficiencies discovered with bio-feedback sessions, and guided shopping trips can help you discover how to plan meals best suited for your health needs.

No matter what your health goals, a wellness program can provide the guidance, encouragement, and support necessary to make this spring a time to joyously celebrate new life: yours. Ultimate Potential, a wellness, fitness, and life mastery company in Los Gatos, CA, offers comprehensive wellness programs designed for both health pros and for those just wanting to take the first step toward a better life.  To find out which services may be right for you or to sign up for a wellness program today, visit www.Ultimate-Potential.com

I read an online article saying that French women put flour in their hair because it helps smooth out the cuticles of the hair and makes it more shiny. Here is the recipe….

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup white spelt flour
1/2 cup barley flour
1 cup distilled water
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 plastic bag that can fit over the hair

To Make:
1. Sift the flours together in a large bowl.

2. Pour the water and vinegar over the flours and mix well.

To Use:
1. Spoon the flour mixture onto your dry hair.

2. Smooth the paste all over the hair shafts. (This treatment is for the hair. It is not harmful for the scalp, but the focus is on getting the paste on the individual strands of hair.)

3. Sweep the coated hair up on top of your head and cover with a plastic bag, securing with a hair clip or clothespin.

4. Leave on for 20 to 30 minutes.

5. Remove plastic bag and rinse the mixture off hair thoroughly using cool water. (Hot water will make the flour stick to the hair shafts.)

6. Shampoo as usual, rinsing with cool water.

Has anyone ever tried this? Or is it just some kind of joke?

If you could have just one wish granted that related to your health and wellbeing what would it be?

? Be stronger and fitter

? Have a great slim, firm body

? No worries about developing some dreaded disease

? Feel more self-confidence

? Be more relaxed and de-stressed

? Have more endurance and stamina

? Be more alert and focused

? Feel happier and more accepting with your lot in life

? Live longer and have a higher quality of life

The good news is…you don’t need the magic fairy with her wand to grant you any of these wishes. You can have all of the wonderful benefits listed above and not have to wait for that fairy to pay you a visit.

You are now saying so, what is it and how do I get all of these things in my life?

The simple answer is ‘proper exercise”.

But I hear you say “I hate exercise”.

And the answer to this is: “Change your mindset”.

Whether you like to exercise or not doesn’t really matter. It is simply not an option but a choice and that choice is totally dependant on you. Somehow you need to change the “I hate” to “I love” to exercise. Tell yourself it makes you feel good, it will help you lose that excess body fat, it will help you be a calmer and saner person, it will make you live longer and the list goes on and on. Whatever it takes is what you need to do.

To be able to improve your life in every way and be the person you are meant to be means you must include proper physical activity into your life. If you don’t feel this is necessary and that you can get by without it you are simply cheating yourself. Your life cannot be complete without proper exercise and to start making your life better this is the place to start.

Every one of us needs proper regular exercise. It is our natural state to be fit, strong and energetic. If we are not in this state we cannot function properly, either physically or mentally. We might get by without it in our younger days, but as the years pass the toll it takes will make itself apparent in many different negative ways. It will get to the point where the deterioration and degeneration will impact life greatly as the downward spiral accelerates.

It is so much easier to take charge and take action to guard against this. If you are new to exercise or do not understand what proper exercise means seek the help of a fitness professional. If you fail to do your program correctly, or fail to use the right exercise such as strength training exercise you will not get the results you hope to get. It is way more than simply going for a walk. We all have legs and we all walk but this will not give you significant anti aging health and wellness benefits.

If you have never experienced how good for your inner sense of wellbeing you can get from a regular exercise program you have something great to look forward too. It will become so much easier to be the person you want to be. You will soon have more energy and vitality, a better mind set and attitude to everything in life and a gentler calmer disposition.

If you can learn to love exercise and how it makes you feel, you will not have to force yourself and will want to actually do it. This can happen little by little over a period of time. Allow yourself to have this gift and in return you will have access to your health and fitness wish list.

Ancient Egypt has not only given us the Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza. The beauty treatments and procedures that many of us are enjoying nowadays are in fact inspired or derived from the practices of the old Egyptian civilization.

It is not really surprising that Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony found Egypt as an interesting and intoxicating place. Although much of the perceptions of beauty that these two men had were influenced by their desire for the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra, it is safe to say that both Marc Anthony and Julius Caesar also found all Egyptians amazing because of their penchant for proper hygiene and beauty. Furthermore, women in Egypt were not the only ones who were concerned about the way they look and smell. Egyptian guys also fuss as much when it comes to their appearance.

In fact, scientists found that bath oils and other beauty implements were used as payment or wages, even to the lowliest of laborers. Moreover, cosmetics and other beauty-related products or ingredients, and not food, were the primary reason why ancient Egypt engaged in foreign trade. Here are some the beauty secrets from Ancient Egypt that can still be practiced even today.

Milk Bath

You must have heard of how AHA, or Alpha Hydroxy Acid, is important in exfoliating your skin. In fact, if you look at the ingredients of many skin products sold in the market today, you will realize that majority of them contain AHA. Queen Cleopatra, the epitome of beauty even up to the present, used AHA through milk baths to keep her skin soft and smooth as ever. It is a common misconception that AHA is a synthetic ingredient. In reality, however, this substance is naturally found in milk and other citrus fruits.

Since it would be quite wasteful (and expensive) to put gallons of full cream milk on your tub everyday, you can reap benefits of AHA in different ways. Surely there are bath soaps, bubble baths and lotions that contain milk to help you achieve the same effect as the milk bath enjoyed by Queen Cleopatra during the old days.

Honey Mask

Did you know that when mummies where excavated and examined, experts found that one food substance used on the bodies to keep them unspoiled was honey? In fact, many scientists believe that honey is one of the reasons why mummies of Egypt were preserved well.

Honey is not only beneficial in the embalming process. In fact, people who are alive and healthy can also make use of it to keep a clear and smooth skin. Since honey is a humectant, it can attract and maintain water, keeping your skin well-hydrated. You can use honey for your face, skin and hair. Just make sure that you rinse your face and body a few minutes after you put honey because you don’t want to stain your sheets. Moreover, always go for pure natural honey, otherwise ants and other insects will feast on you because of the sugar content found in low-quality honey.

Myrrh

If there is one substance that kept Egyptians, particularly those in the highest social strata, smelling fresh and clean, it is myrrh. This fragrant oil was prized because it has to be imported from other places. Egyptians used myrrh as an incense and oil to disinfect their bodies or clothing and to make their breaths smell good.

Botanical Oils

Researches have discovered that people during this time used over 21 aromatic oils to protect their skin from the scorching sun, keep them from smelling bad, and treat skin problems like stretch marks, wrinkles and probably even cellulite. But since it would be hard to secure the same recipes for lotions and creams at present, it would be better for us to just stick to the lotions and creams that are available now.

What you can copy from the Egyptians is their diligence and regular application of these lotions and creams. Incidentally, if you have problems with cellulite, you may want to regularly apply an anti-cellulite cream, such as Celrase, to help minimize the appearance of dimples on your skin.
