Stress

Did you know that much of the stress you undergo is linked to your diet?
Well a good way of preventing this is by following these "rules":
- Do not consume too much caffeine for it increases the liberation of adrenaline in the body and this also contributes to stress.
- Alcohol is also very dangerous because it not only increases the adrenaline in your body, but it also makes you more irritated, tense and you may have difficulty sleeping.
- Salt is horribly dangerous as well because it increases arterial pressure and it jeopardizes the glands that control your stress levels. (Attention: salt is present in many things; it is not only salt alone that causes these problems)
- Sugar is very good but yet very problematic. Too much sugar also jeopardizes the gland that leads with stress and this leads into irritability, bad concentration and even depression.
- Try to eat every 3 hours because when your body has no sugar in it, the adrenaline levels increase making you more likely to get stressed.

Now obviously there are things which you can abuse of like:
- Water. You should take at least 8 cups of water per day. Someone whose dehydrated has more problems leading with stressful events. Do not wait until you feel thirsty, because feeling thirsty is already a symptoms of dehydration.
- Make sure to have your intestines working well. For this you need to eat lots of fiber, drink a lot of water, do exercise, control liquid during your meals and eat every 3 hours. When you are stressed your intestine has problems working, this way you have to take care so when stress arrives you will not have any serious problems like constipation.

Say No to the purple eye shadows

Are you sick and tired of the purple shadows under your eyes? Are you tired of having people ask you if you sleep well or if you have cried all night long, and none of those have happened? Well I have a couple of solutions for you. The first thing you should know is that everyone need good sleep every night. This means 8 hours or more per night! You may be 18 years old or 50 and this won’t change. Our body needs to rest, intensely for a minimum of 8 hours. Now this doesn’t mean that if you lay down in bed at 10 p.m. and wake up at 6 a.m. that you have slept for 8 hours, you haven’t. The 8 hours of sleep only start counting when you have intensely fallen asleep, when you start having dreams, not when you shut your eyes trying to sleep!
Also, alcohol, smoking and stress really worsen the purple shadows. If you do this daily or even 3 times a week, get prepared to look 20 years older than you are! Now, if you have gone out to a party and drank a bit, smoked a bit I have a tip. The next morning prepare a very rich juice. Put as many fresh fruits you can and drink it with no sugar. This will help disintoxicate your body. Also, try to eat lots of fruits during the day.
Now, it is obvious that only this won’t make you end with the purple shadows, it will help and so will the under eye concealers. Go to a beauty store, there the professionals will help you to choose the best color. It should be the same color as your skin color and a creamy on, this way it will look natural. But, if your eye is purple and a bit yellowish probably you will need to mix two or three.
Never forget your sun block, they are essential. Even if you are only going to the grocery store and coming back home they are essential. Also it is good to put some ice and small sponges with chamomile tea to relax the skin.
Finally, never forget your lotions. The special ones for the eyes are rich in many vitamins and really help eliminating the purple shadows under the eyes.
