What is your acne telling you?

http://www.youbeauty.com/

Based on Ayurveda and ancient Chinese Medicine, suggests acne's specific location could be signaling an underlying health issue. This is a very popular concept right now among beauty gurus and it seems like everyone has already written about it.

Dr. Shapiro maps out what eight acne hot zones could be trying to tell you about your health. Keep in mind, having a pimple or two in one of these areas doesn't automatically mean you have a serious health issue, But if you have chronic acne that you can't squash no matter how hard you try, it might be worth asking your doctor to look into a potential internal link. 

Forehead: Digestive System and Bladder

It can result from toxins and lack of water. Drink more water and incorporate fresh fruits in your meal plan. Make sure you drink water throughout the day and avoid fizzy and caffeinated drinks as much as possible.

T-Zone: Liver

Your nose is linked to the liver. Acne here could potentially signify liver dysfunction. You may need to cut back on the alcohol.  Slow down party people. 

Around the eyes and Ears: Kidneys

This area is connected to the health of the kidneys. Dark circle under eyes may signify that the kidneys are malfunctioning or that you are dehydrated. So get some sleep and hydrate yourself.

Upper Cheeks: Respiratory System

Inhaling air pollution can contribute to this. If you are a smoker, you may notices increased breakouts and broken capillaries in these. It as well can caused by bacteria on the surface or your cell phone or sleeping on a dirty pillowcase.

Lower Cheeks: Poor Dental Hygiene

According to Shapiro regularly brushing, flossing and avoiding sugary foods and drinks will improve oral hygiene and blemished associated with it

Nose: Heart

A breakout in this area can be directly related blood pressure. Check your and make adjustment to your lifestyle if needed. Avoid energy drinks, reduce salt intake and eat more fruits and vegetables to promote heart health and low blood pressure

Chin: Stomach

Chin is lined to the small intestine. Breakouts in this area may indicate.  Diet changes can make a huge difference.

Foods that will help you gain weight

We heard and know so much about nutrition and diet  advice how to lose weight but if you are thin and you would like to gain some weight. What kinds of food that will make you gain weight? Of course in the healthy way :).  There are energy-dense foods that are good for you. 

I have been trying to gain some weight and just came across the article "These 9 foods that will help you gain weight."  Hope it helps you who are struggling to gain weight.

Breads and cereals in general are a good source of complex carbohydrates your body needs for energy. Bagels just happen to be extra calorie-dense compared to their thinner cousins. While one slice of bread has about 70 calories, one small 3-inch bagel has over 150 calories. And those big coffee shop bagels have 300 or more calories. Top your bagel with cream cheese and some 100-percent fruit spread for a high calorie (but healthy) snack. Whole grain bagels are best ,they'll boost your fiber intake.

Pasta is another calorie-dense source of carbohydrates so it can serve as the base of a healthy and high calorie meal (for example, one cup of cooked spaghetti noodles has 220 calories). Top your pasta with lycopene-rich marinara sauce and add a quarter cup of shredded cheese for more calories and calcium. Or choose a high calorie Alfredo sauce. 

Dried Fruits.They have less volume than their fresh counterparts, so that means one half-cup dried fruit has more calories than fresh. For example one cup of raisins has 200 calories compared to a full cup of fresh grapes, which has about 60 calories. Raisins are probably the most popular dried fruit in your local grocery store, but you can also find dried berries, apricots, cranberries, and even tropical fruits. 

Adding extra fat to your food is an easy way to add calories, but you want to be sure to choose fats and oils that are good for you. Olive oil is rich in healthy monounsaturated fatty acids and can add calories and flavor to pasta, bread, or vegetables. Canola oil is a good source of omega-3 and monounsaturated fats and it makes a terrific all-purpose cooking oil. Walnut and grape seed oils are lighter in flavor and perfect for topping salads.

Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids plus they have vitamin K, potassium and fiber. One avocado has more than 200 calories so it's a good way to add extra calories without sacrificing good nutrition. Add avocado slices to your sandwiches or make guacamole and serve with baked tortilla chips. You can also add guacamole to soft shell tacos or burritos

Nuts and seeds contain polyunsaturated fats that add healthy calories to your diet. Brazil nuts, almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and pumpkin seeds are all good for you. Eat roasted nuts and seeds by the handful or slather some nut butter on an apple for a nutrient-dense and calorie-dense snack.

Make your own granola with any combination of dry whole grain cereals, nuts, seeds and dried fruits. 

Choose 100-percent fruit juice instead of sugary sodas and energy drinks. Look out for fruit-flavored drinks that are mostly sugar or high-fructose corn syrup -- they just don't have the nutritional value of 100-percent fruit juices. Vegetable juice (low-sodium is best) tends to be lower in calories, but still contains vitamins and minerals.

You can increase your protein intake (and calories) with protein bars. You can buy them in most any grocery or convenience store, or make your own homemade protein bars. Eat one or two protein bars in addition to your regular diet. Do remember though that they probably won't help you gain weight if you use them to replace other foods.

My first attempt on "The Bridge"

 

Tog en kort springtur efter jobbet idag och försökte på lite yogaposer. Mitt första försök med "The Bridge". Not so bad, eller hur?

Another warm sunny day in Stockholm and I went out for a short run after work. Trying a yogapose today. My first attempt on"The Bridge"was not so bad, was it?

วันนี้อากาศดีจังเลย ต้องไปวิ่งหลังเลิกงานซักหน่อยละ หลังจากวิ่งเสร็จก็เลยลองโยคะท่าสะพานสักหน่อย ครั้งแรกก็ดูโออยู่นะ  อายุขึ้นเลขสามละ ต้องยืดเส้นยืดสายซะหน่อย เดี่ยวเส้นจะยึดซะก่อน

Hugs/Annie

Trying a yoga lesson today!

I always think yoga is kind of boring. I am so glad that I gave myself a try. I have been doing yoga for 1 hour a day. It was my 18 times today.

Before I hardly sweat during and after exercise. After I started doing yoga I sweat buckets every time during my session, and I always feel good after the class. I started to love yoga :).

Thank you my lovely friend Mam who drag me to the class, and to my amazing teacher Gee for being patient with me.

เคยรู้สึกว่าการเล่นโยคะเป็นเรื่องที่หน้าเบื่อ เราเริ่มเล่นโยคะวันนี้ 18 ครั้งแล้ว เล่นครั้งละ 1 ชั่วโมง เรารู้สึกอยากยอมแพ้ช่วงสองสามวันแรก แต่ตอนนี้รู้สึกดีที่เราไม่ยอมแพ้และเล่นต่อ ปกติเป็นคนที่ไม่ค่อยออกเหงื่อเท่าไหร่ แต่พอมาเล่นโยคะเหงื่อท่วมตัวทุกครั้งเหมือนมีคนเอานำ้มาราดหัวเลย รู้สึกสบายตัวมาก 

ต้องขอบคุณแหม่มเพื่อนผู้น่ารักเสมอที่พาเรามาเล่นโยคะ เเละขอบคุณครูกี้ที่ทำให้เราชอบออกกำลังกายมากขึ้น
