The benefits of honey can be seen in your weight loss program as well. If you are trying to lose weight, honey can be of great help to you. But before we move on to the benefits of honey in weight loss we should address the concerns people have regarding honey.

Many people ask: Isn't honey a type of sugar? Does it not add any weight? Won't the calories in honey negate your weight loss efforts?

You are right - honey contains sugar. But unlike refined sugar, honey contains vitamins and minerals too. Normally, to digest sugar, the vitamins and minerals stored in body are utilized, rendering the body devoid of these nutrients. These nutrients are essential to dissolve fats and cholesterol. Thus when you eat too much sugar, you tend to increase weight not just because of the calories, but due to lack of vitamins and minerals. On the contrary, honey being a good source of nutrients, helps you in reducing weight.

Honey and warm water: Normally fat remains as an un-used resource in your body adding bulk and weight. It is believed that honey mobilizes this stored fat. When this fat is burnt to provide energy for your daily activities, you see a gradual decrease in your weight and obesity levels. It is suggested that you drink this honey (about one tablespoon daily), with equal amount of warm water.

Honey and lemon juice: Honey can also help in weight loss, when consumed with warm water and lemon juice. Many people drink this formula, first thing in the morning to reduce their weight.

Honey and cinnamon: Another useful recipe is cinnamon powder with honey and warm water. Take one tablespoon of cinnamon power, one tablespoon of honey and one cup of warm water, mix the ingredients properly and drink this mixture empty stomach. It is not clear how this mixture helps in weight loss; however, many people claim to have derived benefits from its regular consumption.

Honey also improves your digestion and helps in weight loss. Hence honey is also consumed after dinner after overeating.

Finally, many people stop eating food to reduce their weight. Beware of such practices. If you don't eat sufficient food (which involves calories, vitamin, minerals, fibers) your immune system will become weak. Your weight loss program should focus on reducing the intake of calories and not stopping the intake of calories. Further, you should also increase the daily expense of calories by regular exercise.

Saya dah guna dah...dah hampir 2 bulan. Memang mudah sangat, cuma goncang sebelum guna dan titiskan beberapa titik ke tapak tangan sebelum sapu ke muka. Mula mula guna memang pedih, gatal...rasanya pun agak masin. Mungkin disebabkan kandungan garamnya. Tapi lepas gua beberapa minggu, dah tak rasa camtu lagi...tapi buka cam rasa macam pakai produk pengelupasan. Tak ada rasa terbakar...kena matahari pun tak rasa apa...

Tapi lepas sebulan saya pakai, saya rasa kulit semakin ok (tak kusam) jerawat walaupun ada tapi tak la mengganggu...yang jelas muka jadi berseri...hubby pun perasan...so saya rasa ok lah kalu saya introduce product ni kat semua. Tapi pantang product ni jangan dekatkan ia dengan peralatan elektronik dan cahaya matahari...

so kengkawan yang berminat boleh berhubung dengan saya atau beli di pusat2 jualan Gresundheit atau ke http://ecpiwater.wordpress.com/

Selamat mencuba....

Spring Clean Your Vanity Case

(Source: Jusco Pearl Magazine - March 2009 )

Did you know your favorite blush comes with an expiry date? Before you think about putting that blush on, take a quick read here to find out when you should bid farewell to some of your favorite make-up items.

Here to think about: Make-up that has been kept too long is actually best breeding ground for bacteria. Make-up is made up of various ingredients, and just like everything else, these ingredients have a use-by date.

Not only that, if you continue using it, it can actually create havoc on your skin (think breakout and rashes).

What exectly is the lifespan of each cosmetic product you own? Here is our quick guide for you:

Foundation And Face Powder

Lifespan: SIX MONTH TO TWO YEARS

take a look at its texture, if it is oily and thick then it is time to get rid of it.

Eyeliner

Lifespan: SIX MONTH

Eyeshadow

Lifespan: TWO YEARS

But if you use cream eyeshadows, it can only last up to six month. Always change the applicator, as that is where bacteria will gather the most.

Lipstick And Lip Gloss

Lifespan: TWO YEARS

But dont expect the colour to remain the same. it wont look as fresh on your lips as it was the first day you brought it.

And like mascara, dont pump air into your lip gloss as this will promote bacteria breeding.

Blush

Liafespan: UP TO TWO YEARS

You can keep it to two years because of its powder form. Using the creammy one, you can keep it tops for one year. Assuming you are using your fingers to apply, this will cause acceleration in bacteria building.

Three Ways To Know If Your Make-Up Off :

Scent - if it smell like mold or fungus, toss away immediately

Date - Most products come with an expiration date. Pay attention to it.

Storage - Are you the type to leave your make-up averywhere? Beware of the bacteria. Some products are also sensitive to heat, cold and light. Products like these can easily go bad if exposed to the sun.
