Get rid of your double chin with this simple exercise

Double chins look so ugly and you desperately want to get rid of it. Usually if you are overweight or obese you tend to have it. But it is not a rule per se.

For those who have a double chin due to excess weight, the best thing to do is try and lose weight.

And an overall weight loss ensures that you lose weight on your chin too. It is as simple as that.

Or maybe not too simple for you. Then read the instructions given below.

Probably that could help you get rid of this unsightly extra projection clinging on to your original chin, almost like a ‘Siamese twin’.

Avoid pillows – sleep on a hard bed. The following exercise, if done daily, will gradually reduce the double chin.

Sit straight in front of a mirror. Look up towards the ceiling. While stretching your neck, turn your head to look over your left shoulder, then to your right shoulder. Return to the starting position and lower the chin to a right angle position with your neck. Press your chin against the clavicle bone in front. This exercise should be done in a slow motion for the best results.

  2. There's another exercise called "kiss the ceiling". Tilt your head back and pucker your lips up and "kiss". Boy, can you feel the pull. My neck and face actually ache after I do this. I've been doing these for about two weeks. Haven't noticed much improvement yet. But, I'm not quitting. I know it's working because I can feel it.

    Another one that you'll really, really feel the muscles working is to tilt your head back, open your mouth all the way and then move your lower jaw up to close your mouth until your teeth touch each other and repeat a few times :-)

    If you are not satisfied with the results from exercising you can always have plastic surgery. The thrifty part of this is...... During a consult with a plastic surgeon ask if a resident can do your surgery, with his/her as an attending physician. This should cut the cost by 70%. It might sound scary having a resident do your surgery but, they are over looked by a very qualified surgeon.

    Thank you . I will definitely start these exercises today because I would like my grand kids to say the same thing about me when I'm in my 90's (or even in my 50's!) Thanks again.

  7. There are several exercises that specifically target the chin and neck area. You have to choose a systematic program that will teach you the proper exercises to stretch, strengthen and firm your chin and neck muscles, thereby reducing accumulated fat safely and naturally. Here's one simple but very effective exercise: Sit or stand straight, then slowly tilt your head back as far as you can. Open your mouth as wide as you can. Do this exercise in 10 to 20 repetitions. This exercise works particularly on strengthening the neck muscles and eliminating fat in the chin area.

    Only cardio excercise will help. You can't spot-reduce fat anywhere.

    To camouflage a double chin, sweep brownish-rose blush along jaw line from just below the ears to chin and blend. Highlight tip of chin with white powder for a slimming effect

    I think the more weight you lose the less noticeable it will be. Maybe check into facial exercises.

  15. Sit erect, and open your mouth as wide as possible. Keep your lips pressed against your teeth. Still pressing your lips tightly against your teeth, move the lower jaw up and down at least 8-10 times.

    Stand erect and tilt your head backwards. Tilt as much as possible. Pout your lips, as if you are kissing the ceiling. This will keep your neck muscles thoroughly stretched. Repeat it 8-10 times.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
