What Is High Blood Pressure:High Blood Pressure

February 9th, 2011

What Is High Blood Pressure:High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure” is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. If this pressure rises and stays high over time, it can damage the body in many ways.

High Blood Pressure

High Blood Pressure

Overview:High Blood Pressure

About 1 in 3 adults in the United States has HBP. HBP itself usually has no symptoms. You can have it for years without knowing it. During this time, though, it can damage the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other parts of your body.

This is why knowing your blood pressure numbers is important, even when you’re feeling fine. If your blood pressure is normal, you can work with your health care team to keep it that way. If your blood pressure is too high, you need treatment to prevent damage to your body’s organs.

Blood Pressure Numbers:High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure numbers include systolic (sis-TOL-ik) and diastolic (di-a-STOL-ik) pressures. Systolic blood pressure is the pressure when the heart beats while pumping blood. Diastolic blood pressure is the pressure when the heart is at rest between beats.

You will most often see blood pressure numbers written with the systolic number above or before the diastolic, such as 120/80 mmHg. (The mmHg is millimeters of mercury—the units used to measure blood pressure.)

The table below shows normal numbers for adults. It also shows which numbers put you at greater risk for health problems. Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people who have normal blood pressure. If your numbers stay above normal most of the time, you’re at risk.

Categories for Blood Pressure Levels in Adults (in mmHg, or millimeters of mercury)
Category Systolic (top number) Diastolic (bottom number)
Normal Less than 120 And Less than 80
Prehypertension 120–139 Or 80–89
High blood pressure (Stage 1) - 140–159 Or 90–99
(Stage 2) - 160 or higher Or 100 or higher 

The ranges in the table apply to most adults (aged 18 and older) who don’t have short-term serious illnesses.

All levels above 120/80 mmHg raise your risk, and the risk grows as blood pressure levels rise. “Prehypertension” means you’re likely to end up with HBP, unless you take steps to prevent it.

If you’re being treated for HBP and have repeat readings in the normal range, your blood pressure is under control. However, you still have the condition. You should see your doctor and stay on treatment to keep you blood pressure under control.

High Blood Pressure

High Blood Pressure

Your systolic and diastolic numbers may not be in the same blood pressure category. In this case, the more severe category is the one you’re in. For example, if your systolic number is 160 and your diastolic number is 80, you have stage 2 HBP. If your systolic number is 120 and your diastolic number is 95, you have stage 1 HBP.

If you have diabetes or chronic kidney disease, HBP is defined as 130/80 mmHg or higher. HBP numbers also differ for children and teens.High Blood Pressure

Tips on Getting Rid of Dandruff:Getting Rid of Dandruff

Dandruff is a mysterious ailment. Mysterious, because there is no commonly agreed upon theory about what actually causes this condition. Sure, you will read different things about its cause. It is estimated that as much as 97% of the population of the United States will at some point in their lives have a form of dandruff, but there is still a lack of total agreement about this condition.

Getting Rid of Dandruff

Getting Rid of Dandruff

Use the Lemon Juice:Getting Rid of Dandruff

This is easiest if you use the lemon juice that comes in squeeze bottles, not fresh lemons. Over a sink, squirt lemon juice directly on your scalp and gently massage the juice in with the tips of your fingers. Make sure you cover your entire scalp to get best results. Let the lemon juice work its wonders for about 15 minutes, then wash your hair as you normally would. If you used enough lemon juice, your scalp shouldn’t itch after the first or second treatment.

Dandruff may require multiple treatments to the full effect (keep in mind that this is a temporary treatment, repeat this process if you get dandruff again later). This is a common Indian treatment that my mom did to me when I was younger and is great because all it requires is a cheap product most of us already have and doesn’t require us to do anything sketchy like putting aspirin in our hair.

Never use the brush or comb:Getting Rid of Dandruff 

Getting Rid of Dandruff

Getting Rid of Dandruff

Never use the brush or comb of the person suffering from dandruff as it is dangerous and contagious. Likewise, make sure that you wash your comb/brush after every shampoo if you have dandruff yourself! Many medicines, medicated soaps and shampoos are available to counter dandruff, but the most effective is cleanliness of hair. Brush your hair thrice a day and shampoo at least once a week. While washing your hair, take care the water does not trickle down your face. There are chances that you may get pimples.

Dandruff can be caused by coming out of a warm or hot shower, with the warm or hot water on your scalp. It has something to do with the temperature change.

Mix two tablespoons of cosmetic vinegar and six tablespoons of hot water. Dab with water into the scalp, parting the hair with a comb apply all over the scalp. Next morning wash the hair with shampoo. After the hair is thoroughly cleansed pour over as a last rinse a mixture of three tablespoons of cosmetic vinegar and one cup of hot water. Then dry the hair thoroughly. This should be done twice a week for three months.

The use of fenugreek seeds is one of the most important remedies in the treatment of dandruff. Two tablespoons of these seeds should be soaked overnight in water and ground into a fine paste in the morning. This paste should be applied all over the scalp and left for half an hour. The hair should then be washed thoroughly with soap-nut (ritha) solution or shikakai.

Give your hair a hot steam bath. Massage hot oil with a hot damp towel and leave it on the head like a turban so that the steam can fight dandruff. You may use two towels for this purpose. This will improve the moisture of your scalp skin to fight against forming dandruff.Getting Rid of Dandruff

How is diabetes diagnosed?:Diabetes Diagnosed

February 9th, 2011

How is diabetes diagnosed?:Diabetes Diagnosed

The fasting blood glucose (sugar) test is the preferred way to diagnose diabetes. It is easy to perform and convenient. After the person has fasted overnight (at least 8 hours), a single sample of blood is drawn and sent to the laboratory for analysis.

Diabetes Diagnosed

Diabetes Diagnosed

This can also be done accurately in a doctor’s office using a glucose meter.

* Normal fasting plasma glucose levels are less than 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl).
* Fasting plasma glucose levels of more than 126 mg/dl on two or more tests on different days indicate diabetes.
* A random blood glucose test can also be used to diagnose diabetes. A blood glucose level of 200 mg/dl or higher indicates diabetes.

When fasting blood glucose stays above 100mg/dl, but in the range of 100-126mg/dl, this is known as impaired fasting glucose (IFG). While patients with IFG do not have the diagnosis of diabetes, this condition carries with it its own risks and concerns, and is addressed elsewhere.

The oral glucose tolerance test: Diabetes Diagnosed

Though not routinely used anymore, the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is a gold standard for making the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. It is still commonly used for diagnosing gestational diabetes and in conditions of pre-diabetes, such as polycystic ovary syndrome. With an oral glucose tolerance test, the person fasts overnight (at least eight but not more than 16 hours). Then first, the fasting plasma glucose is tested. After this test, the person receives 75 grams of glucose (100 grams for pregnant women). There are several methods employed by obstetricians to do this test, but the one described here is standard. Usually, the glucose is in a sweet-tasting liquid that the person drinks. Blood samples are taken at specific intervals to measure the blood glucose.

For the test to give reliable results: Diabetes Diagnosed

# the person must be in good health (not have any other illnesses, not even a cold).
# the person should be normally active (not lying down, for example, as an inpatient in a hospital), and
# the person should not be taking medicines that could affect the blood glucose.
# For three days before the test, the person should have eaten a diet high in carbohydrates (200-300 grams per day).
# The morning of the test, the person should not smoke or drink coffee.

The classic oral glucose tolerance test measures blood glucose levels five times over a period of three hours. Some physicians simply get a baseline blood sample followed by a sample two hours after drinking the glucose solution. In a person without diabetes, the glucose levels rise and then fall quickly. In someone with diabetes, glucose levels rise higher than normal and fail to come back down as fast.

People with glucose levels between normal and diabetic have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). People with impaired glucose tolerance do not have diabetes, but are at high risk for progressing to diabetes. Each year, 1%-5% of people whose test results show impaired glucose tolerance actually eventually develop diabetes. Weight loss and exercise may help people with impaired glucose tolerance return their glucose levels to normal. In addition, some physicians advocate the use of medications, such as metformin (Glucophage), to help prevent/delay the onset of overt diabetes.

Recent studies have shown that impaired glucose tolerance itself may be a risk factor for the development of heart disease. In the medical community, most physicians are now understanding that impaired glucose tolerance is nor simply a precursor of diabetes, but is its own clinical disease entity that requires treatment and monitoring.

Evaluating the results of the oral glucose tolerance test

* Normal response: A person is said to have a normal response when the 2-hour glucose level is less than 140 mg/dl, and all values between 0 and 2 hours are less than 200 mg/dl.
* Impaired glucose tolerance: A person is said to have impaired glucose tolerance when the fasting plasma glucose is less than 126 mg/dl and the 2-hour glucose level is between 140 and 199 mg/dl.
* Diabetes: A person has diabetes when two diagnostic tests done on different days show that the blood glucose level is high.
* Gestational diabetes: A woman has gestational diabetes when she has any two of the following: a 100g OGTT, a fasting plasma glucose of more than 95 mg/dl, a 1-hour glucose level of more than 180 mg/dl, a 2-hour glucose level of more than 155 mg/dl, or a 3-hour glucose level of more than 140 mg/dl.

Essential Health Informative Tips

Essential Health Informative Tips:Health Informative

1.Move More:Health Informative

Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators.Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it’s a stress buster. Think ‘move’ in small increments of time. It doesn’t have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that’s great when you’re up to it. Meanwhile, move more.

2. Cut Fat:Health Informative

Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise.

3. Quit Smoking:Health Informative

The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we’ve seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or ‘tough guy’ stance of Hollywood smokers. Also, the trend to quit smoking has been slow to follow in France.

4. Drink Plenty of Water:Health Informative

Drinking water is still one of the healthiest things we can do. Water is essential for virtually every function of the body. The average person needs eight 8-ounce glasses a day. Drink with meals, as well as before, during and after exercise. During exercise, cold water is more readily absorbed.

5. Reduce Stress:Health Informative

Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e., Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible.

6. Avoid Excessive Alcohol Consumption:Health Informative

While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day can help protect against heart disease, drinking more than that can cause health problems such as liver and kidney disease as well as cancer.

7. Keep a Positive Mental Outlook:Health Informative

There’s a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life. Remember, you can’t be unhappy when you’re smiling!

8. Protect Yourself from Pollution:Health Informative

If you can’t live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when the air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It’s a good pollution and dirt deterrent.

9. Floss Your Teeth:Health Informative

Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing. Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it’s because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don’t?

10. Choose Your Parents Well:Health Informative

The link between genetics and health is a powerful one. But just because one or both of your parents died young in ill health doesn’t mean you cannot counteract the genetic pool handed you. Follow these ten basic tips for healthy living and you can better control your own destiny.

What are the Causes of Stress?

February 8th, 2011

Leading Causes Of Stress:Causes Of Stress

Stress can be caused by many events or factors, but certain issues increase the risk of stress more than others such as financial difficulties, illness, and family problems. These are common issues that many people are faced with during their lives, and are, therefore, considered to be leading causes of stress.

Causes Of Stress

Causes Of Stress

Financial troubles – Financial problems are the leading cause of stress in our society. Western culture promotes materialism, making the most us feel as if we can never have enough money. Not only that, but the cost of living can be quite expensive, especially if you have children, are barely making ends meet, are a single parent, or unemployed. Serious money trouble such as debt, bankruptcy and poverty, can cause chronic stress.

Job – Careers can cause stress in relation to:Causes Of Stress

• Promotion – Being given a new responsibility, and not sure if you’ll measure up to it.
• Dissatisfaction- Not being happy with the job you do, feeling underpaid, overworked and not receiving the recognition you fell you deserve.
• Feeling trapped- Want to quit your job because you are unhappy with the people you work with, or are harassed by your boss or co-workers, but can’t quit because you need the money to support your family.
• Overworking – Workaholics don’t know when to quit and are either at the office all the time or bring their work home with them. People who work too much tend to have poor diets, lack exercise and don’t take breaks.

Life altering event – Suffering the death of a loved one, moving far away, or being diagnosed with a serious illness are all life altering events people all over the world are faced with each day. Humans are creatures of habit, and most of us have a difficult time adapting to a sudden overwhelming change. If we don’t properly express our emotions, we can sufferer prolonged periods of stress.

Caring for children – Children are very demanding of attention and can be a handful. If you work and have young children to take care of, it becomes difficult for you to find time to yourself and relax. Raising children and working a full time job can burn you out.

What are the Causes of Stress?:Causes Of Stress

Problems with spouse or partner – Divorce, an affair, or an abusive relationship can be extremely stressful situations that are difficult to cope with. When we fall out of love, our trust is betrayed, or feel unloved by others, we are deeply, emotionally hurt. We may suffer feelings of low self esteem, hopelessness and self-pity. All of which are negative emotions that feed stress.

You will notice that many of the stress factors listed above are things which one has no control over. This lack of control makes one feel uneasy and can cause a person to worry about the future, yet another cause of stress.

To give you an idea of how serious stress is in our society, it has been discovered in studies that more than 40% of adults suffer from stress related health problems; over 80% of doctor visits are stress related; and more than 59% of employee absence are a result of psychological stress.Causes Of Stress

How To Lower Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally

February 8th, 2011

How To Lower Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally:Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally

Doctors mention two numbers when reading the blood pressure. If the blood pressure is 130/90, the number 90 is diastolic blood pressure. Keeping a low diastolic blood pressure level is important. Higher level has a great risk of developing hypertension, which can lead to serious conditions such as heart attack or stroke. In this article there are many tips to lower the diastolic blood pressure naturally.

Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally

Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally

Blood pressure is the amount of force that blood exerts on the walls of the blood vessels as it passes through them. There are two pressures measured for blood pressure. Pressure while the heart is beating is known as systolic blood pressure and Pressure while heart is relaxed is known as diastolic blood pressure.

If the diastolic pressure is too low the blood is not able to bring oxygen and nutrients to all the body’s cells and remove waste matter. This can cause the cells to die. The diastolic blood pressure is considered low when the blood pressure reading is below 60.If the diastolic blood pressure is too high, a person is said to have high blood pressure, which is also known as hypertension. High blood pressure means that the diastolic blood pressure reading is higher than 90.

To reduce Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally:Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally

Stay Active:Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally
When the body is involved in a lot of physical activity, then it helps the heart to grow stronger and allow the heart to pump blood all through the body smoothly. Sedentary lifestyle promotes high blood pressure. Physical exercises are the best way to remain physically active and maintain normal blood pressure. Spend at least half an hour of the day in activities like walking, jogging, swimming, etc. to lower the blood pressure reading naturally.

Lose Weight:Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally
Lose extra pounds. Being overweight can also affect your diastolic blood pressure. The blood volume in an obese body is higher which forces the heart to work harder while pumping out the blood, and thus the blood pressure increases. So it is important to shed those extra pounds. It can be achieved with a right kind of diet with low calorie content and proper exercises. After weight loss one can find a marked difference in the blood pressure level.

Reduce Sodium Intake:Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally
One of the easiest changes you can make to lower blood pressure is to reduce the amount of sodium in your diet. High sodium increases your diastolic blood pressure. While cooking use very less quantity of salt and do not keep table salt on your dinner table. Do not eat frozen and processed foods as they are laden with sodium. Drink water adequately, it also helps to wash out extra sodium from the body.

Reduce Stress:Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally
The phrase “stress is a killer” is not overvalued. This is a fact. Stress is a major factor that contributes towards high diastolic blood pressure. When our mind is under a lot of stress, our heart rate raises which results in increase of blood pressure. There are various techniques that can help in relaxation of mind. Meditation and yoga are good stress relievers so you may do these to relax.

Alcohol:Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally
Stop doing anything which can aggravate high blood pressure. In a lot of instances, alcohol intake and smoking elevates blood pressure. For this reason, you have to stop smoking completely and limit your alcohol drinking to the minimum.

Herbal supplements:Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally
Various herbal supplements reduce diastolic blood pressure naturally. Magnesium relaxes arteries, which helps to lower blood pressure. The herb hawthorn also helps to relax arteries, and after taking it for a while blood pressure level reduces you can stop taking it. Garlic has strong blood pressure-lowering properties. Eat as much fresh garlic as possible. Garlic is safe to take indefinitely.

Eat Healthy Foods:Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally
The foods you eat should consist of fresh fruits and vegetables that lower blood pressure. They have high content of calcium, potassium and vitamin C which play a major role in reducing the blood pressure. Low fat dairy products and whole grains prove to be beneficial in this regard. Avoid all kinds of fried food and junk food as well as food that are high in cholesterol and saturated fats. Strive to eat at least two bananas per day. Fruits and vegetables also supply a lot of fiber, which is another food component that can help to lower blood pressure.

Exercise:Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally
Regular exercise is vital for lowering blood pressure and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Thirty minutes of aerobic exercise four times a week is optimal. Regular exercise relaxes the arteries and decreases stress. It also can aid in weight loss; being overweight puts you at risk for high blood pressure.

Fish Oil:Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally
Lower your intake of artery-clogging saturated fat and boost levels of omega-3 fatty acids. The beneficial, omega-3 fats are found in cold-water fish and can help to lower blood pressure. Eat fish daily or even twice a day if possible. Salmon, mullet, sardines and lake trout all have high levels of omega-3. If you can’t stand the thought of eating that much fish, take a fish oil supplement. Take seven capsules per day, each containing 1,000mg per capsule.

Home remedies to reduce Diastolic Blood Pressure:Diastolic Blood Pressure Naturally

* Eat 1 Papaya on an empty stomach daily for a month. Do not eat anything after for about 2 hours.
* One tablespoonful each of fresh amla juice and honey mixed together should be taken every morning.
* Take two teaspoon of half onion juice and half honey once a day for 1-2 weeks.
* Meat and egg cause blood pressure to rise more than any other food. Avoid meats, sugar, tea, coffee, pickles, and fried food. Eat Garlic and Amla.
* Watermelon is another safeguard against hypertension.
* Drink 8-12 glass of ionised water daily.
* Garlic is regarded as one of the most effective home remedy in lowering the blood pressure. It is excellent for thrombosis, hardening of arteries and high blood cholesterol.
* Grind equal amounts of watermelon seeds and khas khas and keep together. Take one teaspoonful with an empty stomach and one in the evening with water for lowering blood pressure. This can be taken 3-4 weeks according to the requirement.
* In half of the cup of lukewarm water add one teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Drink it when needed. Squeeze half a lemon in 100 grams of water and drink it every two hours for immediate relief.
* One or two pieces of garlic rolled in raisin also lower blood pressure.
* Take four leaves of Tulsi and two leaves of Neem with 2-4 teaspoonfuls of water, empty stomach for 5-7 days.
* Take one teaspoonful of fenugreek seeds morning and evening with an empty stomach for 10-15 days with water.

Best Hairstyles for Long Face Shapes of cute & Hairstyles just for long face shapes:Best HairStyle

How to Get the Best Haircut and Style:Best HairStyle

Have you ever come home from the salon in tears because you feel that your hair was ruined, and worst of all — you paid for it? It’s probably happened to just about all of us at some time or another but you can prevent it in the future. On a quest to the most fabulous haircut and style just for you, here are important five steps to ensure you get just what you’re looking for.

Choose a Reputable Stylist:Best HairStyle

Seek out others for referrals. Ask you friends with great-looking hair which salon they go to and the name of their stylist. More important, ask those who have similar hair texture, thickness and styles that you prefer. If you see a stranger whose hair you adore, don’t be shy. Flatter that person with compliments and get the information you need. Most people are happy to share their stylist and can often get discounts for giving

Take Along Pictures:Best HairStyle

It’s not always easy to describe what haircut and style you want. Your description may bring up something completely different in the stylist’s mind, leading to a bad cut that can take months or even years to recover from.

Best HairStyle

Best HairStyle

Salons are full of magazines and styling guides for a reason. If you bring along a picture from home or select one from an in-house pictorial, you’re more likely to get just what you want. Be reasonable. Not all cuts and styles may work with your texture and some can accentuate facial flaws. The best insurance is to bring along a few pictures and ask the professional for advice.

Be Precise

If you want your long hair to stay long, say just that. If you just want a trim, tell him or her how much hair you want cut and make a show with your fingers. Don’t be reluctant to interrupt while your hair is being cut. If you just sit there, knowing you’re on the wrong track, you’ll kick yourself later on. A stylist who asks plenty of questions about how YOU want your hair to look is one that wants to make sure that you walk out happy.

Hair Styling – Watch Closely

Don’t get into heavy chatting and then discover that you have no idea how to achieve that fantastic look. A great hairstyle is one you’ll want to replicate over and over so it’s important to watch carefully and see how it’s done. Again, ask questions and you can pick up some good tips for manipulating your hair into the style that’s just perfect for you.

Be Decisive

There are times when you’re just not happy with the cut. If you know this before you leave the salon, make it known. If the salon is not busy, this may be able to be corrected then and there. If you feel rushed, tell the stylist and let him or her know that you may be in touch soon. If you discover that the haircut is not to your liking after you get home, make another appointment to follow up. After all, you wanted to look better, right? The best way to do this is communicate with the professional.

Natural beauty is akin to an overall healthy appearance. Start with a better lifestyle. Your own attitudes and daily life reflects in how you look to others. Take care of your body and it will take care of you.

Eat a proper, well-balanced diet. Food that’s good for your body helps your internal organs function properly and shows on the outside as well. The trick is to read the labels carefully and eat healthy foods with minimal preservatives. Good nutrition is key to your outward appearance and longevity.

The best skin in the world will not overcome a flabby body. Get in good physical shape if you’ve been slacking off. Set some reasonable fitness goals to get your body fit and trim. Begin with short-term goals and set new ones once they’re achieved. Smile

Water plays a crucial role. For radiant skin, drink plenty of water to keep it hydrated and supple. Seal in water externally after a shower by applying lotion to damp skin.

Look for all-natural, organic and herbal recipes for basic skin problems. Whether it’s dry skin or blemishes, you can target the areas that need it most, foregoing chemicals that can be irritating to your skin.

As you age, you’ll hit some bumps along the way. Care for your skin as you do your most prized possession and you’ll see the benefits quickly, as well as years from now.

Don’t want leathery skin? Lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by reducing exposure to the sun’s dangerous rays.

Reduce Stress: Skin Care

Stress is an unfortunate fact in today’s fast-paced lifestyle and often reflects in your skin and eyes. Make it routine to relax and pamper yourself, daily if possible. This will give you time to slow down and plan the following day.

Become aware of the facial expressions you often make when stressed-out.

If you raise your eyebrows often, you could very well end up with permanent wrinkles on your forehead. If you squint because you don’t understand something, lines between your brows may become evident.

Don’t expect to live without facial expressions, they’re part of you. What you can do is be aware of those expressions you make when nobody is looking. Replace those with something else, such as fidgeting and ease up on your face.
