If you’re a cheerleader, a dancer or someone whose active lifestyle demands a lot of cardiovascular exercises and muscular training, heed these orders from the doctor.

A young, sports-oriented adult should follow a balanced diet – her meals should include each food group as often as possible:

• Carbohydrate (CHO) as her main source of fuel. It should comprise about 60% of her diet. CHO is extremely important for athletes or even regular active people, since it’s the most readily available energy for use in any physical activity. Good sources of CHO are grain products (i.e. rice, pasta, noodles, bread) as well as fruits, vegetables, and simple sugar.

Note that all COH are nutritionally dense such as refined starches and sugars which are found mostly in our “feel good” food: cakes, pies, pastries, powdered juices, chocolates, etc.

Choose less process products such as whole grains (dark grains) over highly refined or processed grains (white grains). (more…)

No time to visit the vet or a pet grooming center? Try these wise cent-saving tips to keep your pet well-groomed and healthy.

Sure you’ll have to take your pet to be groomed by a professional sometimes or get the needed dog supplies, but with the expense, it makes more sense to keep him clean and healthy at home.

1. Don’t let your pet romp in tall grasses or thorny patches. Burrs and thorns will stick to his fur, causing it to become matted. Thorns might even cause injury.
2. Set up a ritual. Comb through your pooch’s hair at least twice a week. Do this at a regular time so it becomes part of the routine.

For you who’s always on the go, always caught up in the fast pace of the corporate world, here are good recommended survival kits:

You can look fresh and glowing this summer with just a hint of color to accent your features. Simply add a wash of color to your eyes and you’ve instantly updated the “nude look” to incorporate a little bit of glamour and fun. Find a product with a subtle glow and easy to use water-based formula that will help you achieve this look.

The best part about these products is that aside from a good blush brush, everything can be done with your fingertips, giving you more control and an even finish, especially when you’re spreading the liquid color over your eye. For more adventurous makeup try purple or blue to give your peepers a pop. If you’re a bit unsure, brown eyes look great with a bit of green eyeshadow.
