In July, my daughter and I went snow skiing (yes, I did say July - southern hemisphere winter). During the week we skied, both of us took lots of lessons. My daughter because she is new to skiing and me because the last time I skied was 18 years ago! Those of you who ski know that the way one skis is different than it used to be because the design of the skis has changed. Easier in many ways once you embrace the differences!

Four Steps To A Stretch Mark Free Pregnancy

Pregnant women everywhere worry about stretch marks. No one wants them, but they seem unavoidable.

They don’t have to be. Here are four steps that you can take to help to prevent them from happening to you:

Step 1 — Understand what stretch marks are

Rapid weight gain of any kind puts you at a higher risk for stretch marks, because when skin is stretched, it becomes weaker. This can cause damage to collagen and proteins in your skin which then causes blood vessels to dilate causing red or purple colored early stretch marks. By trying not to gain weight too quickly during pregnancy, you can reduce your risk of skin damage.

The Raw Food Diet - Is It All Its Cooked Up To Be?

The Raw Food Diet as you probably assume from it’s name is based on the concept of eating uncooked foods, mainly vegetables and fresh fruit. Followers of this diet believe that cooking food destroys vital nutrients and eliminates things in the food that are good for the body such as enzymes. You can have some cooked food while on this diet but most of your food consumption must consist of raw foods. This type of diet is more of a long term way to change your eating habits and become healthier than a short term weight loss plan. Studies have shown that people who stay with a raw food diet lose weight, have more energy and fewer digestive problems.

I Need To Lose Weight Fast - Why Youre Still Fat

You are overweight because of other people. 100 years ago, not many people were overweight. Why? Because the cheapest thing to eat in the grocery store wasn’t a 12 inch pizza, a bag of chips, and a diet coke. And, there were no air brushed photos at the cash register to make you feel inadequate and hopeless. Marketers know that if they have an airbrushed goddess on the cover of a magazine you will feel so depressed that you will just buy yourself some chocolate that sits right next to the magazine. And your depression would be warranted, considering the cover is a fake, and no one can ever look that good in real life.
