Fight Fat After Forty- A Good Book To Read.

Fight Fat after Forty –A good Book to Read.
The weight loss industry boom has seen numerous products, among them self-help diet programs. The trend has also encouraged many self-proclaimed nutrition and diet experts to write countless books.
Fight Fat after Forty is a book by Pamela Peeke that formulates a dieting program for women.
Although the book claims to cater to women at any age, it specifically targets women 40 years and over, as its title suggests.

In order to analyze Fight Fat after Forty: The Revolutionary Three-Pronged Approach That Will Break Your Stress-Fat Cycle and Make You Healthy, Fit, and Trim for Life, we will need to look at not only its concept, but also at what the book has to offer. It is interesting to note that the book is available in many versions, from hardcover and paperback, to audio CDs and cassettes.
We will therefore take a closer look at this publication and conclude whether there may be anything “revolutionary” about Peek’s recommendations.

Tips For Great Health

Supplementation

How you can incorporate vitamins, supplements and other natural remedies in to your daily health regimen. Supplementation can also refer to the times when your body requires, certain remedies for specific health concerns.

DIET Consider your diet, or eating habits. Alcohol consumption has been shown to compromise the proper function of the immune system. Start with some simple behavior modification to stay healthier. Instead of consuming sweets and drinks at parties and gatherings, try just sampling the good things. If you feel like you are “coming down with something,” then avoid alcohol completely.
EXERCISE
Around the holidays, we often have less time for proper rest and exercise. Hectic schedules and traveling can take you out of your routine as far as an exercise regimen. The New Year can bring resolutions and new commitments to exercise. But colder weather often results in a lower level of activity, too, since we don’t get outside as much. Try to take advantage of the benefits of moderate exercise on immune function -but be careful about prolonged or intense exercise, which can temporarily increase your risk of infection. Just maintaining an increased activity level for 30 minutes a day can help.
MENTAL HEALTH
The holidays often bring increased stress, as we are forced to deal more with things like family visits, travel and financial concerns. These stress factors place even more pressure on your already weakened immune system, even after the holidays are over. While it may be impossible to factor stress out of your life, do try to take time for yourself. Meditate, pray, talk with friends, walk in the woods or do whatever serves to support your well-being. In the long run, it will serve your immune system, too.
I had the great opportunity to attend a Dave’s seminar by David J Foreman, RPH. N.D the 4 Pillar of Great Health and I have been applying his advice in my personal life with excellent great result.

Yoga Pants Tips

Yoga pants. We all have them, and we all wear them for a million things other than yoga. But, if you want a really good pair of yoga pants that will actually work for you, know yoga. There are a few things to look for. Personally, I'm a big fan of supplex fabric (90% Supplex and 10% spandex) because moisture-wicking properties, anti-chafe flat locked seams, four-way stretch that retains its shape. But do not just rely on my advice. I have talked to a couple of well-known yoga instructors in my area about what brands and styles they like best, as well as how pricey is too pricey.There are four advices when it comes to yoga pants:
1-Smooth waistband.
2-Durability, since they will be washed many times over.
3-Stretch, which is a big part of supplex four ways.
4-Comfort you don't want to be distracted and fussing with your pants during your practice.

Now, you are probably noticing that most of these options are not super cheap. And I feel your pain -- it's hard to spend close to $100 on something you are planning to wear while you sweat! Check my website for afforable price & good fabric

Swimwear For This Season- Tips

INCREDIBLE TIPS TO BUY SWIMWEAR FOR THIS SEASON
What does that mean?
As a fashion designer and a successful business woman my goal is to get everyone to understand how to make that perfect selection and best choice in products when selecting swimwear. This season we are providing a list of words that you may come across in the descriptions of products and what they mean.
One Piece Swimsuit- A piece of woman's clothing, like a leotard, that covers the torso in one piece and is meant for swimming, or just toe-tipping and sunbathing.
Maillot - A woman's one-piece swimsuit.
Monokini - The old school term, "Monokini," meant a one piece swimsuit that exposed the breasts. Today, it usually refers to a woman's one piece swimsuit with cutouts on the sides and/or front. (Also called a Cut-Away Swimsuit.)
Monokini - Pretty much the same as a Monokini. (Also called a Cut-Away Swimsuit.)
Bikini - A woman's two piece swimsuit: a top, or bra and a bottom, or panty. (Men wear bikinis too, but we're not going there right now.)
One Shoulder - A swimsuit that has only one shoulder strap, or support, creating an asymmetrical design.
Tank Suit - A sleeveless one piece swimsuit that has straps over the shoulder.
Tankini -A woman's two-piece suit that's in somewhere between a bikini and a one piece swimsuit, with the top part covering breasts, as well as the ribs.
Brazilian Bikini_ This is a general term for the skimpy, sexy swimsuits that originate from Brazil. They generally have very small cut bottoms, especially in the back.
Competition Swimsuit - For women, this is usually a specially designed one-piece that is worn in competitive swimming, such as the Olympics.

Tops:
Bandeau - A woman's bikini bra top, or one piece swimsuit bodice that is a singular swath of cloth across the breasts. It can be twisted, ringed, tied, with, or without straps, or plain.
Halter Top - A bikini top that has elongated cups that tie around the neck.
Stationary Halter Top - A halter top that is permanently attached to a bodice strap and cannot slide back and forth.
Sliding Halter Top - A halter top that has a tunnel along the bottom of the cups for a strap to slide through. This allows the top to be adjusted for a better fit.
Underwire Top - A bikini top that has supportive, curved wires under the breasts.
Demi-Underwire Top - An underwire top that is cut low on the breast, allowing more of the bosom to show.
Floating Underwire - Similar to a regular Underwire, but the wire is suspended within the layers of fabric so it does not show from the outside.
Tri-Top - A simple bikini top that consists of two triangles and strings around the neck and in back.
Stationary Trip-Top - A tri-top that is permanently secured to a bodice strap and does not slide back and forth.
Elongated Trip-Top - A tri-top that slides along a bodice strap and the top points of the triangle are elongated to look similar to a halter top.
Bottoms:
Thong - Usually a two piece swimsuit that has very, very little fabric covering the back side of the bum, forming a Y shape in back.
Boy Leg - a swimsuit that has a low on the thigh cut and looks a bit like a boy's pair of pants.
Hipster Bottom - A bikini bottom that is like a woman's set of shorts, but is cut low on the hips. It offers a little more coverage than the average bikini bottom.
String Bottom- A bikini bottom that has strings at the hips that may tie, or may be stationary.
Tie-Side Bottom - A bikini bottom that has strings at the hips that tie. Euro-Cut Bottom - A bikini bottom that is cut with straight, triangular lines in back. It's skimpier than an American Cut, but not quite as trim, or curvy as a Brazilian cut and offering somewhere between minimal and moderate coverage in back.
American Cut Bottom - A bikini bottom that is cut shapely and slightly fuller in back than a Euro-Cut or Brazilian cut. In the 60's this was a very full cut in back, but now days, it is much trimmer, offering moderate coverage.
Brazilian Cut Bottom - A bikini bottom that is cut shapely and skimpy in back showing much of the bum and offering minimal coverage in back.
Moderate Coverage - This describes the amount of coverage, usually in the back, bottom half of a bikini, covering most of the bum in a fairly modest fashion.
Minimal Coverage - This describes the amount of coverage, usually in the back, bottom half of a bikini, covering about half of the bum. Not as skimpy as a thong, but less than a Moderate Coverage bottom.
Other Terms:
Separates - Bikini tops and bottoms that are sold separately as a single unit, which allows a customer to buy only a top, or only a bottom.
Separate Sizing - Bikini tops and bottoms that are sold together, but are offered in separate sizes. For example a Large top that is paired with a Medium bottom. All of the swimsuits at Sofine Fashions are sold this way.
Ruching or Shirring - A gathering and draping of fabric that gives detail to the swimsuit design.
Embellishment - Added detail to a swimsuit such as beads, sequins, embroidery, findings, etc
