Body weight is largely regulated by what goes into the stomach and more by the time when it is rendered to the body. No matter whether your goal is weight loss or management, you need to carefully watch your meals. About dinner….the earlier you eat, the better. This allows the body time to digest food properly, while you are awake and active. If you eat and go bed soon after, it does not have enough time to digest what you have eaten before resting. Food sits in the body overnight, then passes out without being properly digested, or it can hang around too long in the body as undigested waste. A Northwestern University study has found that eating at irregular times — the equivalent of the middle of the night…

Women with PCOS often struggle with their weight because they have higher levels of male hormones and their bodies are less sensitive to insulin. But there are certain lifestyle changes and treatment options available to help you maintain a healthy weight and effectively treat your PCOS.

Fat cells don’t become resistant…

Our skin is the body’s largest organ…our outer shield, our storyteller, our living history. And yet, it’s often neglected or overwhelmed with synthetic formulas that promise miracles but deliver little more than temporary softness or superficial gloss.

These ten oils…many treasured for centuries across cultures, including Japan’s revered skincare traditions—are packed with the building blocks your skin needs to restore itself: antioxidants, essential fatty acids, natural retinoids, and anti-inflammatory compounds that actively thicken thinning areas, repair crepey texture, and rebuild lost elasticity.

The triceps, biceps and deltoids are the most visual muscles in the arms. Biceps run along the front of the upper arms and help you bend your elbow; triceps run along the back of the upper arms and help extend the elbow; and deltoids, the outer layer of the upper arms, allow you to lift your arms to the side, front and back, as well as rotate them inward and outward.
