Don't be too thin - Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum is totally averse to yo-yo dieting and isn't exactly impressed by people who are aiming to be reed-thin.

She believes that plump cheeks and a fuller face, make a person look much younger than a skinny person whose face looks gaunt with tight and angular features.

In her own words, "My tip is, don't be too thin! It is always better to have a little meat on your bones. When you are just muscle, you end up being gaunt on the face and that makes you look older by five or 10 years."

And she's so right! Research suggests that fat is quite likely to play a major role in keeping your face looking youthful. It's not just gravity that's responsible for sagging skin, jowls and naso-labial folds.

 Research conducted by Drs Rohrich and Pessa, suggests that it is the different rates at which the fat pockets on your face change their shape and size that leads to loss of volume in the underlying area, causing hollows and sagging.

Dr Rajiv Grover from Grover from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons also reaffirms that it's not just the plain old wrinkles that make people look older, but the changes in the shape of the face that occur when one loses weight excessively, especially due to unhealthy dieting.

Now coming back to the topic of Heidi Klum! Klum says that she isn't too scared of ageing and wrinkles. All of 37 and mother to 4 children, Klum, who's still in a gorgeous shape, says that she abhors Botox and Botox addicts ,and believes in aging gracefully like some of these celebrities instead of resorting to drastic methods to delay the ageing process.

    If you're too skinny, you'll look old.

  2. She's right about not getting too thin, though--when I get too thin, I look like a boy.

    On her secret to staying fresh: "Sleep! I get up at 5:30, so I’m exhausted early. I go to bed at 8:30 most nights. Also, before events, I may get a spray tan. I like how it looks, but sometimes I leave gold shimmery marks all over!"

    Heidi insists that there are no tricks to her weight loss. She says: "I've never really had any special girdle machines or anything like that. For me, it's, you know, really healthy foods, exercising, playing with the children, going to the park. Normal things."

    Klum added: "I never really put a lot of pressure on myself, but for me personally, I feel like it is always better to get into shape immediately . . . it works to kind of get back into shape, afterward, I feel great."

    If you eat healthy on a regular basis it isn't a diet it is just your diet, or the regular way you eat.

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%.

Lemon as a beauty aid

The diminutive lemon is a very versatile beauty-aid and this cheap and golden-coloured fruit has excellent properties for enhancing your looks. Simple lemon-based preparations, you can mix in your own kitchen, will surely bring a dramatic transformation in your beauty regimen.

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...
