Natural remedies are the best way to maintain your health and beauty, as opposed to harsh medications and cosmetics. The concept of beauty appeals to all of us and is something fundamentally human. Health and beauty go hand in hand, as good health is a guarantee for a healthy body. Here are some natural remedies that will help enhance your health and beauty.

Health Tips:


01 Adequate sleep is essential for good health. Get an average of 7-8 hours of sleep everyday.
02 If you can't exercise at a stretch, exercise in small intervals of one minute of high intensity running or stair climbing or jumping followed by 1 minute of slow relaxed walking or marching. Do it for 5-6 minutes 3 times a day.
03 Jumping on a rebounder is a great exercise. It helps tone and tighten the body, enhances blood circulation, and reduces cellulite. It is also easier on the knee and ankle joints and hence a great option for people who suffer from joint pains but want to lose weight.
04 Enroll in an exercise form like Pilates, traditional yoga, power yoga or aerobics. Alternatively enroll in a salsa class or kick boxing for added fitness.
05 Kegel Exercises are great for strengthening pelvic muscles. They are recommended during pregnancy for ease of delivery.
06 Deep breathing exercises work wonders for health. Practically all diseases are believed to be curable by practicing various deep breathing exercises on a regular basis.
07 Extra Virgin Olive Oil is best consumed unheated. It is best to use it as a salad dressing instead of cooking with it. Drink 15 ml of Virgin coconut Oil twice a day for increasing BMR, battling thyroid and losing weight.
08 Wheat Grass or Spirulina are great health tonics. Consume them once a day for total health rejuvenation
09 Substitute one meal with black beans and salad. Black beans provide roughage and proteins and keep you feeling fuller for a longer time.
10 Avoid eating late at night. It's best to consume the last meal of the day by 7:00pm. Eating late or eating just before bed time does not give the body enough time to digest it. Also, since activity levels decrease with the passing day, less calories are needed and hence eating late at night risks the food being stored as fat instead of being utilized as energy.
11 Opt for organic sesame oil or coconut oil as your cooking medium, as they are least prone to oxidation due to heat and retain almost all nutrients on heating even at a high temperature.
12 1-2 garlic pods chopped and swallowed with water first thing in the morning can keep heart ailments at bay, reduce cholesterol, increase BMR, and boost the immune system.
13 Consume at least one cup of organic green tea a day.
14 Apples are a great source of fiber. People suffering from constipation must include at least two apples a day. Sprinkle with psyllium husk for added roughage.
15 String cheese, pickles, olives, and dried fruits make for healthy snacks instead of refined foods since they are low calorie foods, rich in proteins and good fats. They keep one feeling fuller for longer and hence help avoid binge eating.
16 Calcium is one of the key ingredients for weight loss. Lack of calcium will deter any weight loss efforts. Include dairy products like milk, cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt for daily calcium requirement.
17 Try using organic whole milk instead of the homogenized versions; the fresher the better.
18 Ensure that that your intake of good fats like the Omega 3 fatty acids in adequate amounts. They help fight fat and keep the heart healthy. Rich sources of Omega 3 Fatty acids include wheat germ oil, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, purslane (dark, leafy green used throughout Mediterranean countries), hemp seed oil, flaxseeds and its oil.
19 Organic foods are wholesome and nutritious as opposed to pesticide laden and genetically altered foods. Hence it is always advisable to opt for the organic varieties of foods.
20 Refined foods contain high sodium levels and empty calories. Avoid them.
21 Ensure that you get adequate proteins if you are a vegetarian. Pulses are an excellent vegetarian source.
22 Skim milk is made by removing milk fat. The remaining milk is full of milk sugar or lactose and devoid of many nutrients. Lactose is a simple sugar and is responsible for massive weight gain. Instead of drinking skimmed milk, try diluting full fat or whole milk with water. Alternatively prefer 2% milk.
23 Almost any dental ailment is known to be cured with gargling with organic sesame oil for 5 minutes for a few days.
24 Stay clear of diet sodas and sugar free foods. They contain artificial sweeteners, which contain Aspartame. This causes insulin spikes, lowers blood sugar, and makes you hungrier.
25 Aromatherapy and steam inhalation are great remedies that will rejuvenate and cleanse your respiratory system irrespective of your health status.
