Wrinkles Away Exercises

Okay, we may not agree but when we reach at the age of 40's our skin tend to change. Some see wrinkles as their prime problem. Some are the sagging skin from the face and we want to natural lift, right? Well I found an exercise that will keep away the wrinkles.


  1. To soothe puffiness and firm up eyelids: Open eyes wide and stare, then squeeze them tightly shut. Repeat several times.
  2. To discourage forehead lines and stimulate scalp muscles: Hold head still and look straight ahead. Raise eyebrows and forehead skin as high as you can. Feel the movement of the scalp and muscles around the ears. Relax. Repeat energetically several times
  3.  To discourage lines around the mouth: Force and exaggerated smile while mouth closed. Then relax lips. Pucker up lips as far as possible, then relax. With mouth shut, puff out cheeks and blow air from side to side several times. Then slowly blow air out. Repeat each exercise.
  4.  To firm up chin line:  Open mouth as wide as possible. Thrust lower lip out and up, try to touch nose. Repeat several times.
  5. To firm neck muscles and discourage wrinkles, repeat the following exercises several times: Throw head back. Jut chin and lower lip forward. Relax. Stick out tongue. Stretch it up to touch tip of nose. Relax. Sit at table. Place elbow on table and make fist under chin. Push down on fist with chin, at the same time, try to lift head upward with fist (Elbow must remain on table.) Relax.

The Stairs Test

Do not take this test if you are under medication such as blood pressure medicine, anti-depressants, tranquilizers, cold medicines.


Be comfortable. Remove your shoes. Pick a staircase with at least ten steps. Climb up. Climb down. Then up again. Nonstop. If, by the time you reach the top on your second climb, you are out breath, you need to do something about it. Immediately. If you are breathless on your first climb you need help. FAST!

Constipation Remedies


It can't be denied but we all somehow experience being constipated. I found a constipation remedies here. When afflicted with constipation your body is saying that it lacks fiber, water and exercise. Increase your intake of fruits, cereals and vegetable, drink six to eight glasses of water daily and exercise at least three time a week.

Four Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors in Order To Live Longer

We all want to live longer right? Somehow many of us don't live too long some even are too short that many of us couldn't believe. Here is what I read today that I like to share here.

Want to live longer? A study conducted by researchers at the University of Cambridge and the Medical Research Council found that  four healthy lifestyle behaviors made people live an average of 14 years longer than people without those behaviors. These include: not smoking, physical activity, moderate alcohol consumption, and eating fiver servings of fruit or vegetables a day.
The researchers interviewed 20,000 men and women, aged 45-79, who filled out a questionnaire about the four health behaviors. The participants, who had no known cancer or heart or circulatory diseases, filled out the questionnaire between 1993-1997 and were followed until 2006. A participant received one point for each healthy lifestyle behavior.
After they factored in aged, the researchers found that participants with zero points were four times more likely to have died over an average period of 11 years than those with four points. The researchers said that the results suggest that these four healthy people lifestyle behaviors could markedly improve the health of middle aged and older people.


Better live a healthy life!
