We commonly hear that our hair, nails and skin reflect the overall health of our body. Are nutritional deficiencies staring back at you from your mirror each morning?  Healthy hair and nails may be difficult to achieve because so many of us may be deficient in silica, which could be the most difficult trace minerals to get in our diet. Eating healthy is always the best source of good nutrition, but when our days are busy and we need a little help, a health supplement that goes hand in hand with Summer may be just what we need.

Healthy Skin and Nails Supplement helps strengthen nails, bones and connective tissues while enhancing your overall outward beauty. The horsetail extract herbal supplement which is a natural source of calcium and silica really puts this product above the rest. Known as the "beauty mineral", silica can help keep your hair strong, your nails supple and even your skin clear. Also, the patented form of black pepper called Bioperine enhances the absorption of the other ingredients for better results.

It may sound crazy, but I have found the best body and facial lotion, bug bite soother, scrape and burn healer, and eczema reliever in the Coconut. We may be familiar with Coconut oil as a cooking aid and food enhancer because of its health and wellness properties. Consumed as a food Coconut oil is nature’s richest source of healthy medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs). These include Lauric Acid and Capric Acid and Coconut is one of the only foods that contains these rare healthy fats.

But, let me share the health benefits I have personally experienced for external uses of Coconut Oil. First and foremost, Extra Virgin, Expeller pressed Coconut Oil is paraben free, chemical free, phthalate free, sulfate free, and void of all the other additives and preservatives that are potentially harmful for us. Because of its natural healing properties, acne prone skin benefits incredibly from applying a thin layer on the face at bedtime. Remember to dot your eyes with a bit as well for a restorative overnight moisturizer. Try dabbing a bit of coconut oil on your child's scrapes, boo-boos, and bug bites for amazingly quick healing. Got Eczema?  A daily body rub down with Coconut Oil after a warm bath or shower works wonders for dry and irritated patches of skin. Safe for children, my 3 year old has greatly benefited from this routine and his eczema is healing nicely.


So, Go nuts with Coconut Oil for your skin's health and beauty.  Please visit our Antioxidants, Vitamins and other Wellness Supplements for even more health benefits at http://www.stylishhealthandfitness.com/category_81/Antioxidants-Vitamins-Minerals.htm

After researching the many benefits of eating dark chocolate, I want to shed some light on the subject matter. After all, dark chocolate does not get as much good press for taste as milk chocolate gets, but it scores very high as an antioxidant, mineral and health supplement, and energy and mood enhancer.

Dark chocolate is packed full of minerals and is a great health supplement. Essential to good health, Potassium and Cooper help protect against cardiovascular disease and strokes, which seem to affect women more often these days.  The Magnesium in dark chocolate helps to prevent against Type II diabetes and high blood pressure. I will offer more on our Magnesium deficiency on a separate health topic blog at http://behealthybefitbewell.blogspot.com/.

Among the underlying and preventative health benefits of eating dark chocolate, there are certainly those benefits that we can realize right away. Dark chocolate tastes good and comes in a variety of flavors including with caramel, sea salt, and with almonds just to name a few. Eating dark chocolate before a weight lifting workout or cardio pump class will not only give your more energy, but will help you perform at an optimal fitness level. The endorphins and anti-depressant benefits realized from this super food go hand in hand when it comes to enhancing mental wellness and easing PMS irritability.

When my son came home with a low grade on a math assessment I felt sick to my stomach. After so many hours practicing the math facts, exercising his brain and getting passing grades on his basic math facts, I was now alarmed. Did he forget everything he had learned? Why did he get this low grade? Or was he just memorizing for the moment...and the test to get through it?  Was math FUN for him or was it simply a chore to do his math homework?  Kids need to realize the fun in something while practicing it in order to learn and excel, and so do adults.

How many times have you dragged yourself to the gym, dreading the hour or so ahead of you of fitness practice? Yep, fitness practice. In order to become proficient at something it takes practice until it makes sense in our brains, and in this case, in our bodies. Are you having FUN while working out? Do you enjoy the fitness exercises and weight lifting and body building exercises that you are doing? Or, are you just going through the motions to get it done? Think about it, the more fun you have doing what you are doing, the more endorphins are released, the more pleasure you get from the exercise, and the more you want to workout. Whether it is yoga mat class or the core strengthening Pilates routine, try to find ways to have fun while working into each pose or position.  Certainly challenge yourself by adding a heavier dumb bell or pushing through one more abdominal crunch, and have FUN!

Did I mention the FUN benefits of just getting into shape?? Let's just list them: increased energy to hang with your kids, improved body image for pool and beach parties, strengthened muscles for summer long activities, and enhanced confidence in everything you do.

So, count on achieving your optimal performance while working out. Just as you achieved the best grades in the classes in which you had most fun, so too you will realize the best results when you have fun with your fitness routine.  Take your fitness routine to the next level with StylishHealthandFitness.com.

The Fitness Benefits of a Simple Beach Workout

The beach is a perfect place to get a simple yet effective workout. A fitness routine for our bodies is right there at our feet as we enjoy walking miles in the sand...and then back. Use the warm cross winds as resistance and gently tone your arms. While keeping your arms strong, simply stretch them out to the side and make small circles as you push forward against the wind. Keep doing these arm exercises until you feel a slight burn or the muscle feels tired. Be stylish with a comfy cotton t-shirt, sexy sports bra or racer back tank top while you burn fat and calories with a quick run or walk along the water. A brisk walk against that blowing wind can certainly tone and tighten gluteus, quad and calf muscles without any fitness equipment to drag along. You can take your sticky mat down to the beach with you, but core strengthening Yoga and Pilates exercises can be done right from your beach chair. Or, as my fit friend Aliene likes to remind us, from the seat of our car while sitting at a stoplight or driving to the beach. Just pull in your tummy muscles and slightly pump your muscles in and out with each breath to strengthen them while just sitting in your beach chair or car. Multi-tasking CAN be good for your health.

Remember during Summer Camp when we had to "buddy up" with someone so we or they did not get lost on the trails, in the lake or left behind at the campfire? This person was the one who looked out for us throughout the day or week to make sure we were keeping in line with the rest of the campers. We came to bond with this new partner in life because many times this person became our reasoning side, our protector and of course, a new friend and pen pal for life. We told our "buddy" everything and swore each other to secrecy. Our camp buddy relationship provided an early experience with trusting another with not only our secrets, but with our well-being. The camping days of our youth are far behind us, but we can still enjoy the buddy system as grown-ups through a relationship with a personal trainer.

As Summer fast approaches and getting in shape becomes more paramount to your level of confidence and well being, why not choose a personal trainer as your adult "buddy?" Just as the camp buddy was key to our youthful camping experience and helped us through tough moments, our personal trainer can become a friend for life, helping us through various adult level challenges.  If you are just getting started in a fitness routine your buddy will instruct you on what exercises to perform on the fitness equipment. He or she will motivate and encourage you through a core strengthening workout on the yoga mat or cheer you on as you finish 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer. Or, if you have been working out regularly, your buddy will push you to the next level so you see optimal results from your strength training and body building workouts. Perhaps you are at the peak level of performance and you now need social interaction because you have spent all your time at the gym sculpting your body that you have have forgotten how to start a conversation. Your personal trainer will most likely share things with you and ask you questions about your life, thus igniting interesting conversations. Regardless of what camp you are in to enhance your physical fitness, choose a buddy to take a long on your health and fitness journey. You will have another friend for life.

Yoga is a fabulous form of exercise to get into shape and to stay healthy and fit. Yoga helps to calm your mind and body, relieve stress and it puts your day ( ahead of your or behind you) in perspective.  By relaxing your mind and soul, you are better able to focus and work harder trying to master each yoga pose. Working deeply into yoga poses provides an excellent workout as it helps to strengthen and tone your abdomen, arm and leg muscles. Another intrinsic benefit of practicing Yoga is the release of toxins that occurs internally from your body organs while you are squeezing your muscles together. There is a trigger point in the muscles as you perform related poses that will actually work on the related internal organ. Wearing comfortable yoga clothes while working out is important so that you can bend and stretch into poses without any workout clothes material binding unnecessarily.

StylishHealthandFitness.com offers a great selection of comfortable and organic Yoga clothes for women and men. We are thrilled to offer Yoga Starter Kits, Sticky Yoga Mats and various Yoga DVDs to help you get you on your way to peace of mind, internal cleansing and a beautifully tone body!
