Timeless Beauty

So I was surfing through the web the other day and found a snippet about cosmetics and skin whitening products. The short article mentioned the widespread use all over Europe during the Renaissance era of whitening make-up (Venetian Ceruse) that contained lead. In fact, Queen Elizabeth the First of England was the most famous consumer of lead-based cosmetics that kept her skin look pale, which was commonly perceived as a symbol of wealth, privilege, and youthful vigor during that time. Sadly, centuries passed before the people realized during the 17th century that it was lead that caused the increased incidence of psychological and nerve-related diseases among the middle-class nouveau-riche and the members of the nobility.

Image via Wikipedia Many weight loss products have been popping up frequently in the market. Too many people are overweight because of the lifestyle they lead and the quality of food they eat. Because of our common orientation towards instant gratification, we always seek the fastest results that money can buy. Amazingly, not many people know that there are natural fat burners in our body, and that there are certain kinds of foods that you can eat to help reduce. For example, the pectin in apples block absorption of fat and encourage water absorption, which helps get rid of fat through regular defecation. The antioxidants in the apple's skin also helps prevent metabolic syndrome, a medical condition that stores excess belly fat and marked by the apple body shape. Capsaicin in chilies also help in burning calories, which increases your chances of losing weight. Another natural fat burner is Vitamin C, which can be absorbed through eating citrus fruits or through taking vitamin ...

The swelling and pain stayed on my eyelid. It was probably just a stye, but there was no pus or white growth. One day later, the swelling went down, but I remained careful with touching the area too much or using my towel when wiping the water from my eyes when I take a bath. The risk of infection from my hands or my towel is too much to neglect the practice of cleaning up my hands and wiping it with alcohol regularly. I admit I have been neglecting my daily dose of vitamins lately. I take vitamin C , vitamin E and anti-oxidant capsules. With vitamin C, I use Fern-C, which is a better option than the usual vitamins being sold at drugstores. Fern-C is alkaline, which helps the body absorb it better than acidic Vitamin C. You can buy a box of Fern-C with 100 capsules for only 500 pesos.

To fight infections before they become worse take Vitamin C everyday. This will boost your immune system, helping you fight the invasion of viruses into your body. Unlike other vitamin C products, Fern-C is safer and more natural. First of all, it is non-acidic. Therefore taking too much of it won't cause gastric irritation, bloating or intestinal irritation. Aside from that, only 5% is flushed out, as opposed to 75% to 85% of standard Vitamin C is flushed through urination, bowel movement and perspiration. Second, it is absorbed by the body 5 to 8 times faster than standard acidic Vitamin C tablets. It is 100% pure and dissolves easily in water unlike standard Vitamin C tablets which are mixed with starch. BENEFICIAL RESULTS of FERN-C As super anti-oxidant, it strengthens the Immune system of the body. Protects the body against flu, cough, bronchitis, respiratory problems, viral and bacterial infections. Safeguards the heart and entire cardiovascular system from bad cholesterol de...
