Benefits Of Drinking Warm Lemon Water
Hot Lemon Juice Water
The way you start each day is incredibly important. Whether
you're a mom, a coach, a writer, a small business owner or a yoga teacher.
what
you do first thing in the morning matters.
According to Ayurvedic philosophy, choices that you make
regarding your daily routine either build up resistance to disease or tear it
down.
Ayurveda invites us
to get a jump-start on the day by focusing on morning rituals that work to
align the body with nature's rhythms, balance the doshas and foster self-esteem
alongside self-discipline.
Your mind may say you have to check emails, take the dog
out, get the kids out the door, that you can't be late for work or that you
just don't have enough time to cultivate your own morning rituals.
But, if you can only make time for one ritual that will
improve your health, let it be this.....
Start the day out with a mug of warm water and the juice of
half a lemon.
It's so simple and the benefits are just too good to ignore.
Warm water with lemon:
1. Boosts you're
immune system
Lemons are high in
Vitamin C and potassium. Vitamin C is great for fighting colds and potassium
stimulates brain nerve function and helps control blood pressure.
2. Balances pH
Lemons are an incredibly alkaline food, believe it or not.
Yes, they are acidic on their own, but inside our bodies they're alkaline (the
citric acid does not create acidity in the body once metabolized). As you
wellness warriors know, an alkaline body is really the key to good health.
3. Helps with weight
loss
4. Aids digestion
The warm water serves to stimulate the gastrointestinal
tract and peristalsis—the waves of muscle contractions within the intestinal
walls that keep things moving. Lemons and limes are also high in minerals and
vitamins and help loosen AMA, or toxins, in the digestive tract.
5. Acts as a gentle,
natural diuretic
Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials because
lemons increase the rate of urination in the body. Toxins are, therefore,
released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.
6. Clears skin
The vitamin C helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes. Lemon
water purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin clear as well.
7. Hydrates the lymph
system
This cup of goodness helps start the day on a hydrated note,
which helps prevent dehydration (obviously) and adrenal fatigue. When your body
is dehydrated, or deeply dehydrated (adrenal fatigue) it can't perform all of
it's proper functions, which leads to toxic buildup, stress, constipation, and
the list goes on. Your adrenals happen to be two small glands that sit on top
of your kidneys, and along with your thyroid, create energy. They also secrete
important hormones, including aldosterone. Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by
your adrenals that regulates water levels and the concentration of minerals,
like sodium, in your body, helping you stay hydrated. Your adrenals are also
responsible for regulating your stress response. So, the bottom line is that you
really don't want to mess with a deep state of dehydration!
Adopting just this
one practice of drinking a cup of warm water with lemon in the morning for a
month can radically alter your experience of the day. Don't be surprised if you
begin to view mornings in a new light.
Like I said, the recipe is really simple - a cup of warm
(not hot) water and the juice from half a lemon.

15 Helpful Uses for Baby Oil
Learn about these 15 helpful uses for baby oil!
In contrast to the popular joke, baby oil is not made of
babies, it is actually a byproduct of the oil refining process. Baby oil is a
fantastic lubricant for massaging and nurturing the skin of the baby, but it
has many other uses that can benefit the adult, some of which may surprise you.
1. Clogged ears
Drip a few drops of warm baby oil into the clogged ear. Lay
on your side or make sure the ear is in a horizontal position, and gently drip.
Let it stay like this for a few minutes and then reverse your head and let it
dribble out, cleaning the ear with a paper towel.
2. Cracked heels
To treat dry and cracked heels, rub a little baby oil before
bed time. Cover your legs with socks to keep the bed sheets and blankets from
getting dirty.
3. Removing a stubborn ring
To remove a ring from your finger that just won't budge, use
baby oil as a lubricant. Smear a generous amount on your finger and gently
start turning the ring, until it slides off.
4. Removing bandages and Band-Aids
If you have sensitive skin, reduce the discomfort by
smearing a coat of baby oil on the sticky parts of the bandage. Start peeling
the bandage gently, until it is removed.
5. Removing paint
If you've used paint and got dirty, spill some baby oil and
rub, then wash with soap and water for full removal of the stain.
6. Removing stickers from purchased items
If the price sticker won't come off (or leaves half of it
behind), smear a bit of baby oil on the sticker until you see it absorb, then
wipe with a soft cloth for an immediate and easy removal of the stubborn
sticker.
7. Removing make-up
Baby oil can be an efficient tool for removing eye make-up,
and also soften the skin around the eyes - doubly useful.
8. Massage
Use baby oil to massage parts of the body. Baby oil is
refined and adds moisture to the skin. It also makes the massage feel much
nicer.
9. Preventing stretch marks
Baby oil helps soften the skin and prevents stretch marks
during pregnancy.
10. Maintaining moisture
After a hot bath or shower, keep the moisture on your skin
and prevent skin dryness by smearing baby oil on your skin while it's still
moist. Be sure to smear in the area of the elbows, the knees and the heels.
11. Unraveling knots
If your silver or gold necklace has become a big knot, use
baby oil to unravel the knots. Simply drip a bit of the oil directly on the
knot, then use sewing needles to gently open the knot. It should be much easier
now that the links slide instead of stick together.
12. Aromatic bath oil
Instead of spending a lot of money on expensive cosmetics
for the bath, add a few drops of perfume to a 1/4 cup of baby oil and mix. When
you step into the bath, shake the bottle well and pour a few drops in.
13. Returning luster to leather items
Return the shine to old handbags, wallets, shoes and belts.
Drip a bit of baby oil on a soft cloth and wipe the leather items. After
rubbing, remove the leftover oil and rub again with a clean cloth. The items
will shine like new!
14. Cleaning stainless steel sinks.
Drip a bit of baby oil onto a soft cloth and shine the
stainless steel sink. You can also use this technique to remove stains from
stainless steel electrical appliance and bathroom accessories.
15. Getting rid of water and soap stains on the shower door
If you have a shower door that is constantly stained by
water and soap marks that won't come off, a bit of baby oil and a clean cloth
should get rid of those for you!

Prevent-hair-loss
How To Protect Your Hair
Hair fall creeps up on you slowly and chances are that you address the problem only when it is severe. Several factors could lead to it, including genes, lifestyle, diet and hair care routine. While you can’t control factors such as heredity, you can definitely make certain modifications to prevent this problem from aggravating.
There are certain hair oils for hair loss that have excellent nourishing properties. Although growing back lost hair is a tall order, the judicious use of these hair oils can help you stem further hair loss and give your hair that volume and a healthy sheen.
Coconut oil
 Probably one of the best oils for hair loss, coconut oil penetrates well within the hair shaft and prevents hair from losing moisture by acting as a sealant. As a result, hair is less likely to suffer damage and stays dense as well as strong. It also protects your hair from other infections of the scalp as the lauric acid in this oil has a significant action against viruses, bacteria and fungi. Know other beauty benefits of coconut oil.
Sweet almond oil is highly effective because of its emollient or softening action. Rich in vitamins D and E and minerals such as calcium and magnesium, almond oil acts as a natural moisturizer for your hair, preventing it from turning dry and brittle. As a result, there is lesser hair loss. And the nutrition your hair receives ensures it stays healthy, thick and strong, and also grows faster. However, if you have an allergy to nuts, it is best to avoid almond oil.
It may be expensive but olive oil certainly nourishes the hair as it can penetrate the hair shaft more effectively than other oils and also has moisturizing properties. If you use the extra virgin variety, your hair also receives vitamin E and monounsaturated fatty acids that play an important role in promoting hair growth.
Castor oil
Lavender oil
Along with the regular use of herbal oils, consume a healthy and balanced diet rich in minerals and vitamins and keep yourself away from stress and you are bound to notice a definite improvement in the quality of your hair. Here is how you can choose a suitable hair spa treatment.
