Coconut Water Benefits for Skin

Coconut Water Benefits for Skin

Coconut is well-known for its health benefits and healing properties. Coconut is this one gift of nature that can benefit you by both internal and external application. In fact, consumption / application of coconut water can save you from various health related troubles. How? This is discussed as follows.

Do you know that the Hawaiians refer to coconut water as noelani, which means 'dews from the heavens'... and indeed, as you learn more about the benefits of coconut water, you will truly understand why they say so! The coconut has many religious aspects to it, especially in India. Sri Sathya Sai Baba, also quoted that "There is sweet water inside a tender coconut. Who poured the water inside the coconut? Was it the work of any man? No. Only the Divine can do such a thing." You would be surprised to know that in India, whenever a new endeavor takes place, a coconut is smashed to the ground so that its water leaks out. This is considered as a sign of success. Anyway, enough about the religious aspect. Coconut is a pool of natural blessings in itself. Not only its water, the oil, the milk, and even the meat of coconut is useful for various purposes. However, in this article we shall focus on the benefits of coconut water for your skin. This Buzzle article will tell you as to how you can rejuvenate your skin just using this naturally gifted solution which consists of the 'miracles of nature'.

Benefits of Coconut Water for Skin

They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder... however, when it comes to 'beholding' someone, your outer body is the one that helps form an opinion about you! Take your skin for example. A person with fresh, glowing, and flawless skin will always seem more healthy and beautiful than a person who is dealing with various skin issues. As a matter of fact, your face can also speak a lot about your inner health. For example, a pale and dull face may indicate low hemoglobin, or a dry skin may indicate dehydration! There are many skin issues like acne, pimples, dry skin, dark spots, that can lower your self-confidence in terms of appearance and looks. If you are tired of trying out those expensive cosmetics and medicines but still can't find a satisfactory solution to your skin problems, then relax and just go through the benefits of coconut water mentioned below.

Skin Hydration

Tired of the dull and dry skin? Looking for some natural glow and shine on your skin? If the answer to these questions is a definite yes, then all you need to do is apply some tender coconut water directly on your face. The coconut water has natural properties to hydrate your skin and give you the natural glow and smoothness that you always wanted. So stop spending on all those chemical based cosmetics and let nature take care of it all!

Boosts Oxygen Circulation

Do you know that half of the skin problems that you suffer from are because of the impurities that are deposited in your skin cells? This happens due to poor circulation of oxygen in the body. Each and every cell in the body needs an adequate amount of oxygen, which is possible only through proper blood circulation in the body as it is the blood that carries oxygen throughout the body. Coconut water is very effective in boosting proper circulation in the body, thereby allowing your skin to breathe a lot of healthy oxygen which in turn promotes a healthy and flawless skin.

Anti-aging Properties

Have you ever been to places where the main ingredient in food and drinks is coconut and coconut only? Well, if you ever get a chance to visit the Southern region of India, then you will find that these people consider coconut to be the ultimate source of health. I remember I once visited a small village in Kerala, South India, and met this lady who seemed to be around 35 years old. I was surprised to find out that she was actually 55 or more, and was a grandma of 3! This was the case with all the population, everyone seemed way younger than their real age. Could it be because of coconut water? Well, yes! Coconut water contains cytokinins, which is known for regulating the aging process of a person. It keeps your skin fresh, healthy, and prevents the sagging.

Natural Scar Eraser

I am sure most of us have this one scar on our body that we desperately want to get rid of! I mean, I have a horrible burn mark on my calf which makes me conscious when it comes to wearing shorts and skirts. But then, when I started applying coconut water on the mark I was surprised to see that within a month it faded away to a great extent! All you need to do is wash the scars, or acne marks too for that matter with coconut water at least three to four times daily. Also, do not wipe the excess water, let it dry naturally. Try this simple method and see guaranteed results!

Bye-Bye Sun Tan

I am a piscean who loves water. In fact, I can swim and spend an entire sunny day in the pool with my lime water. However, when I think of getting rid of the horrible sun tan afterward, I prefer skipping the plan at times. I mean one can always use a sunblock or sunscreen to prevent tanning, but then I remember reading that using sunblock can actually prevent the formation of vitamin D in the body, which by far is one of the most important vitamins that the body requires. So now, I know a better way to get rid of the sun tan, and allow vitamin D production as well! All you need to do is to apply a pack of coconut water mixed with Fuller's earth. Scrub it well and say bye-bye to sun tan!

Prevents Skin Infections

Another skin problem that most of us suffer from is skin infection, especially during the moist weathers like the monsoons. Coconut water has many healing, anti-viral, anti-microbial, and anti fungal properties which can keep the skin safe from infections. You can either apply it directly on skin, like a moisturizer, or you can mix it with your bath water. So now when the weather acts funny, just don't worry about skin infections.

No More Oily Skin

We have already discussed the benefits of coconut water for dry skin, but not only that, coconut water can actually prove to be a blessing for oily skin as well! It helps in washing away the excess oil of the skin and tones and cleanses the oily skin making it more even, smooth, and healthy. Now your skin won't shine because of the excess oil, it is the natural glow that will attract others towards you.

Coconut water is known as the 'fluid for life'. In Sanskrit, which is an ancient Indian language, the coconut tree is known as 'Kalpa Vriksha', which means 'tree which provides all that is necessary for a healthy living'. Coconut water is also known for its overall health oriented properties. It helps in controlling diabetes, obesity, and acid reflux diseases. Coconut water is known for increasing the metabolism of a person, which eventually helps in weight loss. I hope you will now try this immensely blessed gift of nature for all your skin problems and let go of all the products that you have been spending on in vain. Believe me, natural remedies are healthier and more effective in the long term as compared to chemical based products... and coconut water is definitely worth a try! So try it and stay naturally gorgeous!

6 essential ingredients for a long, happy marriage

A good marriage starts with a spark that grows with careful attention to its needs. The following essential ingredients have been an important part of our almost 30 year marriage. Without them, I don’t think we could have managed the trials that have come and will continue to come our way.

Always hold hands — even when you’re at odds with each other

I remember the exhilaration I felt the first time my husband and I held hands. This simple gesture confirmed he loved me as much as I loved him.

After almost 30 years of marriage, we’re still holding hands. I love my husband more than the day we married and can’t imagine not having his hand in mine — in the car, during walks, watching a movie, when we pray, shopping and when and wherever we are.

Hold your spouse’s hand. It’ll warm your hearts.

Do what you can to look and feel good for yourself and your spouse

Remember dating? We picked out our best clothes and shoes. Every single hair was in place. We smelled great, looked great and felt great. And we did it all for our date. Then marriage and life stepped in and some of us let ourselves go.

I often think about this. I’m guilty of letting myself go. How do I know? I decided to take better care of my health. Statistically, based on our family genetics, I’m nearing the end of my life due to diabetes, heart disease and cancer. None of these have manifested in me, but to keep them away, I’ve decided to take better care of myself. You can follow this process at my blog.

I hadn’t realized the state of my body until I lost weight. In my mind I’m still in my 20s. I feel better, look better and, even though our marriage didn’t seem in any danger, my husband and I see and feel the difference. His, now, regular comments, once almost forgotten, have told me he likes the changes.

Plan a date with your spouse and take some time to get ready for it. You might feel 10 or 20 years younger.

Don’t point

Many times, when I berated my husband for his faults, I accomplished nothing but to anger him. He didn’t change and we were at odds. I began to wonder if I had made a mistake in marrying him. I didn’t want our marriage to end, but I didn’t know how to find the joy that belonged with our love.

A really good friend advised me to point the finger at myself. If I changed, he would change and, most likely, in the ways needed. I tried this and our marriage is stronger, tighter and more joyful. I also learned those little things that didn’t change are part of him and I discovered I didn’t want those parts lost to me.

Now, when I’m thinking about pointing, I remember when I point at him, my remaining fingers are pointing at me.

Kiss

Kiss when you separate, when you meet, when you get home, before exiting the car — whenever it feels right. There is nothing as reassuring as the reminder of your spouse’s love through a kiss.

I remember our first kiss. I knew he loved me. I knew he was mine (I told him forever). I still know this. Even when it’s a quick peck as he leaves for work in the morning.

Always start and end with a kiss, even if it’s in public.

Have fun together

My husband is an automotive technician. I am an animal lover. He collects cars, I collect animals. It’s not been easy to see eye to eye in our collections. Over time I’ve grown to enjoy our car talks and the times he’s shown me how to fix them and he has fallen in love with most of the animals I’ve brought home.

As our children have grown older and we spend more time together outside the home, we’ve learned to enjoy nature together. Walks in the Everglades, trail rides in his Discovery, photography and walks along the beach. In the past these activities didn’t often involve both of us and the children. Now the children join as often as their schedules allow.

Check out your spouse’s hobbies and job. Look for things to do together and have fun. You may fall in love again.

I love you

Right along with always holding hands and kissing as often as possible is saying, thinking and writing on little notes, "I Love You."

My husband said these words to me while dating. I didn’t reply. He asked why and I told him I didn’t want to say, "I Love You," unless he knew what I meant. We discussed the meaning of these three important words. He learned when I say, "I Love You," I mean forever and not only for yesterday or today. I love him not only for the joy he has brought, but also for the challenges that have matured us and the growth we’ve done together and will continue in the future.

Consider adding these essential ingredients to your marriage. Discuss them with your spouse and you may strengthen and add years to your union.

Left Brain vs Right Brain

Understanding the Myth and Reality of Left Brain and Right Brain Dominance

Have you ever heard people say that they tend to be more of a right-brain or left-brain thinker? From books to television programs, you've probably heard the phrase mentioned numerous times or perhaps you've even taken an online test to determine which type best describes you.

What Is Left Brain - Right Brain Theory?

According to the theory of left-brain or right-brain dominance, each side of the brain controls different types of thinking. Additionally, people are said to prefer one type of thinking over the other. For example, a person who is "left-brained" is often said to be more logical, analytical and objective, while a person who is "right-brained" is said to be more intuitive, thoughtful and subjective.

In psychology, the theory is based on what is known as the lateralization of brain function. So does one side of the brain really control specific functions? Are people either left-brained or right-brained? Like many popular psychology myths, this one has a basis in fact that has been dramatically distorted and exaggerated.

The right brain-left brain theory grew out of the work of Roger W. Sperry, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1981. While studying the effects of epilepsy, Sperry discovered that cutting the corpus collosum (the structure that connects the two hemispheres of the brain) could reduce or eliminate seizures.

However, these patients also experienced other symptoms after the communication pathway between the two sides of the brain was cut. For example, many split-brain patients found themselves unable to name objects that were processed by the right side of the brain, but were able to name objects that were processed by the left-side of the brain. Based on this information, Sperry suggested that language was controlled by the left-side of the brain.

Later research has shown that the brain is not nearly as dichotomous as once thought. For example, recent research has shown that abilities in subjects such as math are actually strongest when both halves of the brain work together.

The Right Brain

According to the left-brain, right-brain dominance theory, the right side of the brain is best at expressive and creative tasks. Some of the abilities that are popularly associated with the right side of the brain include:

• Recognizing faces
• Expressing emotions
• Music
• Reading emotions
• Color
• Images
• Intuition
• Creativity

The Left Brain

The left-side of the brain is considered to be adept at tasks that involve logic, language and analytical thinking. The left-brain is often described as being better at:

• Language
• Logic
• Critical thinking
• Numbers
• Reasoning

The Uses of Right-Brain, Left-Brain Theory

While often over-generalized and overstated by popular psychology and self-help texts, understanding your strengths and weaknesses in certain areas can help you develop better ways to learn and study. For example, students who have a difficult time following verbal instructions (often cited as a right-brain characteristic) can benefit from writing down directions and developing better organizational skills.

Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski's Beauty Regimen

Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski. A name we haven’t heard and a pretty face we haven’t seen in a while. For those who follow her on Twitter (and for those who haven’t, check her account now), it’s still quite a surprise that she looks exactly the same as she did in the 90s. No kidding! And here on Style Factor (not that we see time as the enemy) we always try to look for ways to stop the clock. We asked for Mikee’s two-cents worth on how she keeps herself youthful.

Her skincare regimen consists of two things: moisturizer and sunblock. “I just apply light moisturizer in the morning and at night. I use sunblock when I need to be out in the sun for a long period of time.” Mikee doesn’t experiment much on beauty products and stick to what works. “For my body, I pretty much only use virgin coconut oil.”

But the real secret to her youth lies in her family. “My three boys keep me youthful,” she says. She also still keeps an active lifestyle. She plays basketball and swims with her kids. She is also still an equestrian and an instructor to young girls. She believes that this is a great advantage to her in feeling young.

Mikee admits that she is afraid of aging but it’s the kind of fear that goes beyond the aesthetic. “More than anything, I am afraid not to be able to do the things I do.” Mikee may still look like she is in her 20s but she is wise beyond her years and understands that aging is a chance to grow old around the people she loves.

I remember my high school year seeing mikee. I feel like high school teenager again. Those were the days. She still look the same. I followed her in facebook. Everytime I saw her, I feel like young again.

How to Drink Honey & Cinnamon Powder to Lose Weight

Honey and cinnamon are both purported to have many health benefits. Cinnamon has been credited for helping lower LDL, the bad cholesterol, and honey contains antioxidants, which protect cells from damage. The reason cinnamon and honey may promote weight loss is due to their involvement in digestion and metabolism. A study in France found that cinnamon improves the body's ability to process sugars. According to MayoClinic.com, honey is a prebiotic. These are nondigestible nutrients that are used as a food source by probiotics, healthy bacteria that aid in digestion.


Step 1
Boil 1 cup water.


Step 2
Place 1/2 tsp. cinnamon powder in a cup. Pour the water over the cinnamon. Allow to steep for 30 minutes.

Step 3
Once the mixture has cooled, add 1 tsp. honey. Use raw, unprocessed honey. Stir well.

Step 4
Drink the mixture twice daily, before breakfast and about 1/2 hour before you go to bed.

10 Things Every Marriage Needs

1. Open Communication
Marriage is sometimes difficult - don't compound it by keeping secrets. Tell each other everything and your relationship will show the results.

2. Teamwork
Working together is a part of any successful marriage. However you need to, carry the load equally.

3.Focus on Spirituality
Stay focused on what matters by praying, studying, and learning together.

4. The Same Goal
While you may have different interests, you need the same goals. Kids? Where you want to live? How much you want to travel? This is where you need to be on the same page.

5. A Clean Home
It is undeniable that having a nice place to spend your time will increase happiness and keep your relationship strong. Work together to keep your place nice and it will ease your stress!

6. Budgetting
One of the biggest mistakes couples can make is not keeping up with their money. Budget together and keep the power out of just one person's hands, and money won't stress you out!

7. Time Alone
While it's always fun together, taking a little time alone can make your time together that much sweeter.

8. Sex
Yeah, I wrote it. Physical intimacy is an important part of any marital relationship. Be on the same page about it, but always keep the passion alive.

9. Others
Having good friendships and good relationships with family is essential for a good marriage. They can give you fun times, good advice, and a lot to think about.

10. Love
The most important ingredient in any marriage is simple - love. If you love each other selflessly everything else will fall into place.

10 Surprising Health Benefits of Cinnamon

Who doesn’t love a sprinkling of cinnamon on fresh apple pie or atop a chai latte?  It’s just one of those spices that tastes fantastic.  But taste is not the only reason to love cinnamon.  Here are 10 health reasons (plus an extra reason) to love this super spice:

1. Numerous studies show that cinnamon regulates blood sugar, making it a great choice for diabetics and hypoglycemics alike.  That’s also great news for anyone who wants stable energy levels and moods.

2. It reduces LDL cholesterol levels.  LDL is also known as the harmful cholesterol.  Reducing it may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

3. It has natural anti-infectious compounds.  In studies, cinnamon has been effective against ulcer-causing H. pylori bacteria and other pathogens.

4. It reduces pain linked to arthritis.  Cinnamon has been shown in studies at the Department of Internal Medicine, Kangnam Korean Hospital, to reduce cytokines linked to arthritic pain.

5. Research at the University of Texas, published in the journal Nutrition and Cancer, shows that cinnamon may reduce the proliferation of cancer cells, holding promise for cancer prevention and sufferers of the disease.

6. It is a natural food preservative.

7. It contains fiber, calcium, iron, and manganese—albeit small amounts to the typical dose of ground cinnamon.

8.  It’s been proven effective for menstrual pain and 9. infertility.  Cinnamon contains a natural chemical called cinnamaldehyde, which studies show increases the hormone progesterone and decreases testosterone production in women, helping to balance hormones.

9 Cinnamon holds promise for various neurodegenerative diseases, including: Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, brain tumor, and meningitis, according to research at the Cytokine Research Laboratory, Department of Experimental Therapeutics, The University of Texas.  Their research shows that cinnamon reduces chronic inflammation linked with these neurological disorders.

10  Not a health benefit, but a great reason to love cinnamon, it’s versatile.  It works with sweet and savory dishes alike.  Consider that many curries and savory Moroccan dishes include cinnamon.  It’s not just for apples anymore.

I like cinnamon in loaf bread especially in the morning

I like her music, wit, humor and as a mother. She's so spontaneous and she's my idol. Good luck pink!

Willow Sage Hart - Perfect

Made a wrong turn, Once or twice
Dug my way out, Blood and fire
Bad decisions, That's alright
Welcome to my silly life

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss "no way, it's all good", It didn't slow me down
Mistaken, Always second guessing
Under estimated, Look, I'm still around

Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than perfect.
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You are perfect to me.

You're so mean,
When you talk, About yourself, You were wrong.
Change the voices, In your head
Make them like you Instead.

So complicated,
Look happy, You'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game.
It's enough, I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same.

Oh, Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than less than perfect.
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/perfect-lyrics-pink.html ]
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You are perfect to me.

The whole world stares so I swallow the fear,
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer. So cool in line and we try, try, try,
But we try too hard, it's a waste of my time.
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
We change ourselves and we do it all the time

Why do we do that? Why do I do that?
(Why do I do that?)

[Yeah~, Ohh~ pretty pretty please, Ohh~]

Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than less than perfect.
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You are perfect to me.

You're perfect, You're perfect
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than less than perfect.
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You are perfect to me.


Every mothers wish for their children so like the music.

Don't Give up

When about to give up, think of these people. Learn from your mistakes and don't lose hopes.

This is the most critical stage which happens after it has been several years from when first stage of gout has happened and in this stage there will be permanent harm done to the joints with a possibility to even spread this damage to the kidneys.

Some of the common symptoms which help in identifying gout include too much pain, redness and joints swelling which usually include the big toe joint which is commonly affected. One of the best methods in which gout can be avoided includes keeping a control on the diet and keep check on the increase in uric acid levels in the body.

Our body has natural substance named purines which when are divided form uric acid, there are also foods which have purines which have to be avoided in order to have check on the uric acid being produced in the body.
