Face Exercise Part 2 (Compiled)

                                         Face Exercise :

Correcting Flabbiness Under Chin
Step 1	Lift chin slightly upward.
Step 2	With flat point of index and middle fingers press against indentation (hollow) formed by the two upper nodules of the larynx located at the curve from chin to neck. Do not be concerned in the beginning as to the precise location of pressure which you will discover through practice. Regard finger pressure as the resistance against the working muscles.
Step 3	Now press your back teeth firmly together * and while maintaining this position.
Step 4	Press the tip of your tongue against the inside of lower front teeth (gum line) increasing pressure with the tip of tongue ** in 10 or more gradual and definite steps (Count to 10).
Step 5	Hold end position of pressure for 6 seconds (count slowly to six).
Step 6	Release muscle work for 10 gradual steps (count to 10).
Step 7	Remove finger resistance.
	Repeat 4 more times. Results Note Suggestion Visible in approximately one week. * If resistance is kept at the right place you will feel the muscles pushing against your finger resistance. ** For each increase of pressure with tip of tongue you will sense a stronger push against your resistance. Since the pressure of the finger tips against resistance may be felt unpleasantly and also may slip, it is advisable to cushion finger tips with cotton.

If you have those circles under your eyes, frowning and squinting left tracks on your face then here are a few face exercises that will help you look great and beautiful. By following these few exercises religiously you will have a young and dazzling look without going for surgery or face-lift. Let us begin with forehead. This exercise should be done 10 times daily to the count of six at a time.

Forehead :

1. Join your fingers together with your thumbs folded in and place your fingers near your temples i.e., where your scalp meets your head. Push straight up and hold and then, raise your eyebrows, hold for six counts and release.

Benefits: This face exercise removes the lines above the brow. It targets the muscles of the forehead and the muscles at the back of your head.

2. First, place the middle fingertip of each hand in the centre of each eyebrow. Pull the eyebrows apart or outwards, and at the same time try to frown. Hold for six counts. The next step is totally the reverse exercise. Place the middle fingertip of each hand in the centre of each eyebrow; push brows together or inward and at the same time raise eyebrows and hold.

Benefits: This face exercise helps remove the mark on your forehead and the area between the eyebrows. This face exercise targets the muscles right above the brow area.

Eyes :

1. Place the three centre fingers of each hand underneath the eye, pull down, and try to close your eyes. Hold for six counts and release.

Benefits: This face exercise eliminates puffiness as it targets the muscles under the eyes.

2. Place the ring and middle fingers of each hand at the outer corners of eyes. Pull the corner of the eyes toward the hairline and hold. At the same time, squeeze eyes shut; hold for six counts and then release.

Benefits: This face exercise helps remove the wrinkles around the eyes.

Cheeks :

1. Put your head back. Take your three centre fingers, place them on the apples of the cheeks and push down. At the same time, raise your cheeks as hard as you can by smiling.

Benefits: This exercise targets the muscles of the cheeks.

2. Put your thumb in your mouth right in the centre of the cheek and push. At the same time, bring the cheek back towards the teeth against your thumb. Hold for six counts and then repeat on the other side.

Benefits: This face exercise will fill out the cheek hollows, firm the face and lift.

Mouth :

1. Take your middle fingers and pull down on either side of your lower lip thus exposing your teeth. At the same time try to mope.

Benefits: This exercise tones the muscles around the lip area.

Chin :

1. Take your three centre fingers, pull the chin down and at the same time curl the lower lip over the bottom teeth.

Benefits:  This face exercise tones the muscles of the chin.

Here's a sample exercise for the double chin, an area that seems to bag around on us as we age no matter what our body weight. It's called the Tongue Press:

          Purpose:  Firms the Area Under the Chin

          Place your thumb pads, one in front of the other, resting under the chin, fingers resting against the jawbone.

          As you press the tongue against the roof of the mouth, press and slide your thumbs, alternately, from front 

          (directly under the chin) to back (to where the under chin meets the neck), making a rhythm of one thumb 

          slide for every tongue press.

                *  Repeat 40 times

          Feel the muscle work as you slide your thumbs against the underneath part of your chin.

          Try this exercise twice a day for two weeks and you'll start to see the double chin area firming up. 

Double Chin

***********

To decrease a double chin and eventually take it away, lie

on your back on a flat surface. Raise your head, slowly, and touch your chin to your chest. Slowly return your head back to the ground. Repeat this chin to chest exercise 10 times, and work up to 50 a day once the muscles are stronger.

Sagging Jowls

 ***********

To help tighten up cheeks and neck that sag, pull

your bottom lip over your top lip and smile. Tilt your chin slightly upwards until you can feel it pulling on your neck. Hold this position for a 10 count, and repeat 5 times. Once you are accustomed to this exercise, try repeating the exercise 10 times per day, once in the morning and once at night.

Crows Feet

**********

This simple exercise is easy to do at night while applying face and eye cream. Close your eyes tightly and slide thumbs from the corners of your eyes towards your temples. Rest your other fingers on the top of your head. Do this exercise 10 times in the morning and at night for best results.

Upper Eyelid

**********

As age sets in, the upper eyelid often tends to fall and sag. To firm the upper eyelid, place your index fingers just under your eyebrows. Push your fingers up while closing your eye and stretching your eyelid down. Repeat this several times a day.

Facial Stretch

***********

This exercise can be used to tone the whole face. Open your mouth as wide as you can and stick your tongue out as far as you can. Open your eyes wide, and hold this position for a count of 10. Repeat 5 times for a full cycle. Be careful not to take this position too quickly to avoid jaw discomfort.

The news that will be of interest to many women, is that by devoting just ten minutes a day to a few simple facial exercises can make you look more youthful, more beautiful and more healthy! In fact, these exercises can be performed anywhere, although it might cause a few odd stares if you carry them out in public! This is not just a question of vanity. Strangers initially judge us by our faces, unfair as that may seem. During interviews, for example, your face is under constant scrutiny and it stands to reason that if you feel confident about the way you look, you will exude an aura of confidence.

Body tricks

SOME SPECTACULAR TRICKS FOR

YOUR BODY !

(Someone shared it with me)

 If you've got an itch in

your throat, scratch your ear.

When the

nerves in the ear get

stimulated, they create a

reflex in the throat

that causes a muscle spasm,

which cures the itch.

Having trouble hearing

someone at a party or on the

phone?

Use your right ear it's better

at picking up rapid speech.

But, the left is better at

picking up music tones.

 Clear a stuffed nose or

relieve sinus pressure by

pushing your

tongue against the roof of

your mouth then pressing a

finger between

your eyebrows. Repeat that

for 20 seconds it causes the

vomer bone

to rock, which loosens your

congestion and clears you up.

 If you ate a big meal and

you're feeling full as you go to

sleep,

lay on your left side. That'll

keep you from suffering from

acid re-flux it keeps your

stomach lower than your

esophagus, which will helps

keep stomach acid from sliding

up your throat.

 You can stop a toothache

by rubbing ice on the back of

your

hand, on the webbed area

between your thumb and index

finger.

The nerve pathways there

stimulate a part of the brain

that blocks

pain signals from your mouth.

 Stop a nose bleed by

putting some cotton on your

upper gums right behind the

small dent below your nose and

press against it hard. Most of

the bleeding comes from the

cartilage wall that divides the

nose, so pressing there helps

get it to stop.

 Nervous? Slow your heart

rate down by blowing on your

thumb. The vagus nerve

controls your heart rate, and

you can calm it down by

breathing.

 You can prevent BRAIN

FREEZE by pressing your

tongue flat against the roof

of your mouth, covering as

much surface area as possible.

Brain freeze happens because

the nerves in the roof of your

mouth get extremely cold, so

your brain thinks your whole

body is cold. It compensates by

overheating which causes your

head to hurt. By warming up

the roof of your mouth, you'll

chill your brain and feel

better.

13.) If your hand falls asleep,

rock your head from side to

side. That'll wake your hand or

arm up in less than a minute.

Your hand falls asleep because

of the nerves in your neck

compressing so loosening your

neck is the cure. If your foot

falls asleep, that's governed by

nerves lower in the body, so

you need to stand up and walk

around.

This is

 a nice trick.

Have soQeone stick their arm

out to the side, straight, palm

down. Press down on his wrist

with two fingers. He'll resist,

and his arm will stay

horizontal. Then, have him put

his foot on a surface that's

half an inch off the ground,

like a stack of magazines, and

do the trick again. Because his

spine position is thrown off,

his arm will fall right to his

side, no matter how much he

tries to resist.

Got the hiccups? Press

thumb and second finger over

your

eyebrows until the hiccups are

over - usually, in a short

while.

DON'T FORGET TO SHARE :)

8 Proven Weight Loss Tips By: Beth Scott

8 Proven Weight Loss Tips 
By: Beth Scott 

There are a lot of “crash” diets out there that promise that you’ll drop a considerable amount of weight in days or a week. 

I have tried a few of these, and in my experience the weight always comes back on, just as quickly since the weight loss tips given are not something that will work with your body. 

One thing you don’t want to do if you are actually serious about losing weight is to follow these fad diets and their ridiculous weight loss tips. 

After their ineffectiveness has been proven time and again, people will start to wise up to that particular diet, and will head off in search of a new craze. 

Lets be honest, people are always searching for new weight loss tips because they want to lose pounds and they want immediate results, but this is just wishful thinking. 

To lose weight permanently and effectively it will be a rather slow progress, all depending on your metabolic rate and how much you need to lose. 

There are however some proven tried and true weight loss tips for aiding in the weight loss process, and I can make you familiar with them. 

~~Weight Loss Tip 1 
Don’t skip breakfast. Whatever you do follow this advice, because otherwise you are much more likely in fact prone to binge later in the day. 

~~Weight Loss Tip 2 
Don’t eat anything for at least an hour before going to bed. 

~~Weight Loss Tip 3 
Don’t snack while watching TV. It’s acceptable to eat a meal while watching television, but never is snacking at this time acceptable. 

~~Weight Loss Tip 4 
Substitute fruits like; bananas, watermelon, plums, peaches, and oranges for sugary treats like; cookies and candy. 

~~Weight Loss Tip 5 
Substitute honey for sugar, and carob powder for chocolate in all recipes. These taste just as good if not better when used properly. 

~~Weight Loss Tip 6 
Eat more vegetables. This can even be enjoyable if you have a good cookbook like Good housekeeping's latest edition. 

~~Weight Loss Tip 7 
Avoid unnecessary high calorie foods. Instead of a high calorie salad dressing for instance try cottage cheese or yogurt to improve the salads taste and peel of the pounds. 

~~Weight Loss Tip 8 
Exercise at least a half hour each day for five days out of the week. Biking on a stationery bike while reading is a great form of exercise to slim legs. 

In conclusion there is nothing stopping you from losing weight except yourself. Get off the "I can't do anything about my weight problem" bandwagon and start dropping pounds today!

Why Drinking Water Really is the Key to Weight Loss~by Maia Appleby

Why Drinking Water Really is the Key to Weight Loss

by Maia Appleby

Don't roll your eyes! The potion for losing that excess body fat is all around you. It covers two thirds of the planet. If you eat right and exercise at the intensity, frequency and duration proper for you, but still can't get rid of a little paunch here and there, you're probably just not drinking enough water. No need to get defensive. You're actually quite normal. Most people don't drink enough water. Most people are also carrying around a few more pounds than they would be if they did drink enough water. If you can't seem to get that weight off, try drowning your sorrows in nature's magical weight-loss mineral. It works, and here's why: "What on Earth is 'metabolism', anyway?" People use the term all the time, but ask them what it means and you'll get all kinds of answers. Merriam Webster defines it as, "The process by which a substance is handled in the body." A little vague, but that's really all it means.

There are many forms of metabolism going on in your body right now, but the one everyone is talking about it the metabolism of fat. This is actually something that the liver does when it converts stored fat to energy. The liver has other functions, but this is one of its main jobs. Unfortunately, another of the liver's duties is to pick up the slack for the kidneys, which need plenty of water to work properly. If the kidneys are water-deprived, the liver has to do their work along with its own, lowering its total productivity. It then can't metabolize fat as quickly or efficiently as it could when the kidneys were pulling their own weight. If you allow this to happen, not only are you being unfair to your liver, but you're also setting yourself up to store fat. "I've tried it and I couldn't stand it!" The problem is that, though many decide to increase their water intake, very few stick with it. It's understandable. During the first few days of drinking more water than your body is accustomed to, you're running to the bathroom constantly. This can be very discouraging, and it can certainly interfere with an otherwise normal day at work. It seems that the water is coming out just as fast as it's going in, and many people decide that their new hydration habit is fruitless. Do take heed , though. What is really happening is that your body is flushing itself of the water it has been storing throughout all those years of "survival mode". It takes a while, but this is a beautiful thing happening to you. As you continue to give your body all the water it could ask for, it gets rid of what it doesn't need. It gets rid of the water it was holding onto in your ankles and your hips and thighs, maybe even around your belly. You are excreting much more than you realize. Your body figures it doesn't need to save these stores anymore; it's trusting that the water will keep coming, and if it does, eventually, the flushing (of both the body and the potty) will cease, allowing the human to return to a normal life. It's true. This is called the "breakthrough point." One recent finding, as irresponsible as it may be, that caffeine increases the body's fat-burning potential has many people loading up on coffee before going to the gym. This finding may hold some degree of truth in it, but caffeine is, in essence, a diuretic, and diuretics dehydrate. Caffeine may increase the heart rate, causing a few more calories to be burned, but this is at the expense of the muscles, which need water to function properly. This isn't doing your heart any favors, either. It's already working hard enough during your workout. Never mix caffeine and exercise. In fact, your best bet is to stay away from caffeine all together. It's a big bully that pushes your friend water out of your system. Water is the best beauty treatment. You've heard this since high school, and it's true. Water will do wonders for your looks! It flushes out impurities in your skin, leaving you with a clear, glowing complexion. It also makes your skin look younger. Skin that is becoming saggy, either due to aging or weight loss, plumps up very nicely when the skin cells are hydrated. In addition, it improves muscle tone. You can lift weights until you're blue in the face, but if your muscles are suffering from a drought, you won't notice a pleasant difference in your appearance. Muscles that have all the water they need contract more easily, making your workout more effective, and you'll look much nicer than if you had flabby muscles under sagging skin. "Eight glasses a day? Are you kidding?!" It's really not that much. Eight 8-ounce glasses amount to about two quarts of water. This is okay for the average person, but if you're overweight, you should drink another eight ounces for every 25 pounds of excess weight you carry. You should also up this if you live in a hot climate or exercise very intensely. This water consumption should be spread out throughout the day. It's not healthy at all to drink too much water at one time. Try to pick three or four times a day when you can have a big glass of water, and then sip in between. Don't let yourself get thirsty. If you feel thirsty, you're already becoming dehydrated. Drink when you're not thirsty yet. Do you think water is yucky? Drinking other fluids will certainly help hydrate your body, but the extra calories, sugar, additives and whatever else aren't what you need. Try a slice of lemon or lime in the glass, or if you really think you hate water, try a flavored water. Just make sure you read the labels. Remember that you're going to be consuming a lot of this fluid. It's probably a good idea to stop drinking water a good three hours before you go to bed. You know why. "How cold should it be?" This is debatable. Most experts lean toward cold water, because the stomach absorbs it more quickly. There is also some evidence that cold water might enhance fat burning. On the other hand, warmer water is easier to drink in large quantities, and you might drink more of it without even realizing it.  Do whatever suits you, here. Just drink it! When you drink all the water you need, you will very quickly notice a decrease in your appetite, possibly even on the first day! If you're serious about becoming leaner and healthier, drinking water is an absolute must. If you're doing everything else right and still not seeing results, this might just be what's missing.
