Over 40 and Fit are You?

Are you over 40 and can't see your toes? Oh sorry maybe thats just my husband
but I can. I been reading up on what I can do to help him lose some weight
and I came across this little ebook idea. Now I am over 40 in fact if you visit
my website Overallbeauty.com you will notice that June is my birthday month
but what I don't tell you is, I just hit the big 45! Yeah wow huh?? But the neatest
part of hitting 45 is I weight less than I did at 35! What to know how much
less because we all know that once you hit your late 30's its a bitch to take
weight off right? Opps sorry boys and girls that statement is wrong, you can I did
and I know its possible. I get more looks and winks from men younger than me
that my husband who is over-weight is starting to take notice. I will have to come
up with some pictures of what I looked like and how I look now. I once was a size 22
and I am now a size 12, I think I just might be doing something right you think?
Like I said I came across this ebook about becoming fit over 40 and I thought that
you might like to hear about it and if interested buy it. Ladies take a good look
at the author.. he looks good enough to eat! ;)

Poverty And Obesity: A New Study Finds
A Remarkable Connection
------------------------------------------------------


While the rich and the affluent still face many
of the problems that come with the "king's
lifestyle", a new pattern is emerging in the
United States and, predictions state, Europe.

A new study shows that the trend of ill-health
and obesity is shifting rapidly to the poor and
less educated portions of the country.

The reason this is important to us all, other
than a concern for our nation's health as a
whole, is the economic strain this will place
on our already burdened health care system.

By the year 2012, if this trend increases, the
middle and upper classes will be looking at
massive increases in taxes to fund proposed
government plans to address the problem.

This is a problem that flat-out does NOT need
to exist. Everyone who can afford food at 'all'
can easily eat healthy and exercise.

Part of the confusion is due to the fact that the
billion dollar fitness industry has created a
myth -- that expensive food supplements and
organic foods are mandatory for good health.

While I believe in both, neither are mandatory.

It's the TYPE of food, and the COMBINATION
of the foods that make all the difference -- that,
and moderate calories, exercise, and proper
mental disposition.

This is covered in detail in the best-selling
e-book, "Fit Over 40", by Jon Benson and
Tom Venuto, CSCS.

In regards to the study, Dr. Janet Collins of the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
had this to say --

"Populations are no longer equal in terms of
experiencing health problems. Low-income
populations tend to experience all the health
problems we worry about at greater rates."

The five states with the highest obesity rates
in the 2005 consensus include Mississippi,
Alabama, West Virginia, Louisiana and
Kentucky.

These same five states have higher rates
of poverty than the national norm.

Meanwhile, the five states with the lowest
obesity have less poverty. They are Colorado,
Hawaii, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Vermont.

Each of these states also have more college
graduates and stronger education programs.

Education in health and fitness does not
need to be expensive, and it certainly does
not take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

However, many fitness professionals and
nutrition 'gurus' lend that impression.

If you visit a gym today, especially in a
larger city, you'll see a myriad of devices
that, frankly, would give you a better workout
if you tried to pick them up and move them
out to the garbage dump.

It can be daunting and confusing for anyone!
But, this doesn't have to be the case. In fact,
as so many people report in "Fit Over 40",
workouts can be done in your own home
that will more than satisfy the needs of
most people.

The same goes for nutrition. While a few
people require "high-tech", expensive foods
(for medical reasons usually), the vast
majority of us can easily get the job done
at the local grocery store.

The best way to inspire change is to create
change in yourself. Start there, set the
example, and the word will spread.

Anyone can be fit and healthy, and they
can do it at ANY age, and at ANY income
level above absolute poverty.

Yours in health ladies, and guys. I do hope I get to
hear about how you lost your extra weight, and I show you my lost if you
show me yours. :)

Secrets for Caring for Your Oily Skin

Secrets for Caring for your Oily Skin

Understanding how to take care of your oily skin is something you need to learn early in your life so as not to start off treating your oily skin incorrectly. In some ways you are lucky to have oily skin because it tends to age at a slower rate than other skin types do. Meaning yours will not show those fine lines and wrinkles that tend to bother other skin types sooner.
On the downside to having oily skin, is that it tends to have more breakouts, problems with larger pores and blackheads.
How does one take care of their oily skin then?
Once one understands their oily skin, it becomes easier to find the right products to help to take of it in the right way.
Ever heard of using just soap and water? Well in the case of oily skin that’s not that bad of an idea to do so. By using hot water and soap you prevent your pores from getting clogged and causing breakouts. Did you know that by using hot water not lukewarm water it will help dissolve the skin oil better?
One thing you need to do for sure is to avoid using any skincare products that will cause your skin to feel taut and dehydrated. This will restrict the oil from flowing through the pores will can lead to blockages and breakouts.
What one must do for starters is to keep your skin very clean by washing it no more than two to three times a day. You may not know that if you wash your oily skin too much that it will actually stimulate your skin to create more oil.
When choosing your cleanser you need to do so with care. Avoid heavy cleansing creams as well as avoid the use of harsh soaps or cleansers. One would be better to use an all natural soap that has no artificial additives or scent.
You might want even want to try an antibacterial cleansing lotion or maybe even a lightly medicated soap depending on just how oily your skin gets.
If your skin is one of the types that is extremely oily, instead of two to three washings a day up it to three or four daily cleansing may be what you need to do. No one likes a greasy appearance at any age.
As you can tell taking care of your oily skin is something you need to start early and take care of everyday if you wish for it not to breakout. Your skin can be more acne prone than other skin types to. Take care of your skin and try using a natural oil-free moisturizer to help keep your skin supple.
If you are before the age of thirty you may be lucky enough not to even have to use a moisturizer but do start over the age of thirty at least just around your eyes and mouth.
Take good care of your oily skin and it will take care of you.
