A week or so ago, I was in the check-out line at the supermarket and saw a blurb on the cover of a magazine. The headline read: “Breakthrough! FAT LOSS VITAMIN!”, and the text beneath it said, “95% of us don’t get enough. Safely boost your intake and:
*Lose 5 lbs a week!
*Burn 30% more fat every day!
The magazine was Woman’s World.
Being in the business of health, fitness, diet and weight loss, this claim intrigued me so I threw a copy of the magazine in the buggy, and read the article when I got home.
Very briefly, here’s what the article had to say: Most people don’t get enough Vitamin C, and Vitamin C can help your body burn more fat.
Now, this was interesting, and since I believe most people don’t get the nutrients they need, I was willing to go along with the idea of increasing your normal intake of Vitamin C, either by increasing the amount of things such as orange juice, which is good for you anyway and it contains a lot of Vitamin C, or by use of Vitamin C supplements.
The information in the article made sense, and, when I did a little independent online investigation, I found that apparently the article was reasonably accurate. I don’t have a particular problem with the information in this article, and agree that increasing Vitamin C could help someone lose weight.
This brings us to the slightly exaggerated title of this article.
Everyday, it seems we are bombarded with all these claims about weight loss, fat loss, diets and health. One person says their pill will deal with cortisol, which is the cause of weight gain. Another says their diet will “melt” the fat. Someone else wants to hypnotize you, and that will do the trick. The covers of many other magazines at the checkout on the day I bought my magazine had different tips, hints, diets, and weight loss solutions.
All these people can’t be telling the truth, can they?
Is weight gain the result of cortisol, poor diet, lack of exercise, not enough Vitamin C, lack of sleep, stress, too much beer, or just bad genes?
Actually, the answer to both questions is, “Yes…sort of…”
The actual biological process by which people get fat is known. The solution is also known, and it doesn’t have much to do with Vitamin C, cortisol, genes, or a lot of other things…directly.
A runner who wishes to run faster gets there by training at running and trying to run faster. However, that runner can also strengthen his or her legs by using weight training. They can improve their performance, or perhaps reach their goal faster, by eating a certain type of diet…maybe even making changes in that diet at different points of their training or competition schedule. If stress is inhibiting their performance, learning to meditate might help them put that stress behind them or at least relieve it enough so that their times improve. If their home life or work schedule is such that it interferes with their training, rest, or nutrition schedules, then making a change in those areas may improve their athletic performance.
Even so, the main thing in their running training is…running! Everything else just helps with the speed of development or the amount of progress that is ultimately made.
The same thing applies to most weight loss situations and so-called solutions. Increasing physical activity and eating reasonably are the two major things that bring about healthy, permanent weight loss. If, in your exercise program, you choose to supplement with Vitamin C, or get more sleep, or take something which reduces the effects of cortisol, or quit your job because it interferes with your weight loss program, then you will probably enhance the results. You will lose more weight over time, lose the weight a bit faster, or just find the whole process easier. However, the major portion of the weight loss (and improved health and enjoyment of life), comes from the basics of exercise and nutrition.
So what about the people who DID lose weight by breathing properly, or taking Vitamin C, or adding Chocolate to their diet?
People are all different, and so are the facts and factors of their lifestyles, education, upbringing, and genetic makeup. Someone who is one dress size bigger than she wants to be may get all the weight loss she needs from increasing HER Vitamin C intake. That does NOT mean that every woman will experience the SAME results. Another woman may need to lose a lot more than one dress size, and taking Vitamin C, while it might help her shed a few pounds and be more healthy overall, will probably NOT produce anywhere near the total results she hopes to achieve. If, however, she IS doing the right things to bring about weight loss, adding the Vitamin C may speed the process a bit and help get her to her goal a little faster,
Just as in the title of this article, the key word in all these claims is “help” whether it is stated or merely implied. True healthy, permanent weight loss will be the result of a combination of activity and nutrition. All the other things, which may certainly be of value, are just helping.

Staying Smooth: Anti-aging Skin Care Tips
Julie Health asked:
There’s no reason why anyone in the movies and magazines should look better than you, including the way that their skin looks. Even if you don’t have millions of dollars, you can make sure that your skin continues to look young and healthy. By taking the proper steps, you can reinforce the cells in your skin for a younger and fresher look. Following are some anti-aging skin care tips that you can follow.
The easiest way to take care of aging in your skin is to make sure that it does not start to wrinkle. Your skin will begin to wrinkle in one of several ways. When it is inflicted with substances that are not natural, such as UV rays, it will cause the collagen, or cells in the skin, to break, loosen and die. Over time, it will cause crow’s feet, lines around the mouth, and other wrinkles to appear over the face. Even if you don’t see the wrinkles yet, you can take steps to make sure that your skin stays in the best shape possible.
One of the most important anti-aging skin care tips that should be common knowledge is to make sure to not inflict it with substances or stress it out. If you are going out in the sun, wear a hat and put on sun screen. If your face gets dirty, find ways to scrub and clean it. If the air is dry, make sure that you enrich your skin by adding in extra moisture to the skin. Balancing out the exposure of your skin is an easy way to start when helping the anti-aging process.
If you want to take extra measures to prevent aging, then there are a variety of other things you can do. One of the most important nutrients to remember for anti-aging skin care is vitamin C. By adding this into your skin, it will help to add in additional care to the face. It not only will produce anti-oxidants in the skin, but will also help to begin reproducing cells at a faster rate. Even if you only put extra vitamin C on your skin once a week, it will help to keep your skin healthy.
For several, they will choose all natural ways to help improve their skin. You can do something as simple as washing with all natural soaps that have extra vitamins in them. Anything from extra Vitamin C and E to green tea can help you to rejuvenate your skin and keep it looking young.
There are several who will work with fruits and vegetables, applying them to their skin for a prolonged amount of time. Avocadoes, oranges, and other fruits and vegetables with high amounts of vitamins and antioxidants are known to be great agents to help your skin stay young.
If you are uncertain about what to do for your skin, then finding creams that are for anti-aging can provide the best skin care. There are several places that offer mixtures of the best ingredients for your skin, all which will help to rejuvenate the cells and other parts of the skin from the damage that has been done. Daily creams to weekly masques are helpful in keeping your skin healthy and happy while you are in the process of aging.
For those who want to indulge in complete skin care, they can look into things such as ******* and skin peels. These will help to take away the old skin that is blocking the cells from receiving the right balance of oxygen and reproducing at the normal rate.
There are strong solutions that you can add into your products in order to ensure that you are getting the best and most with special products and procedures. These can either be done by a professional or in the comfort of your own home, as long as you find the right mixture of ingredients.
If you are working at staying and looking younger, then it never hurts to try new and different anti-aging skin care tips. All of these can help and benefit you from the process that Mother Nature may not be intending for you. By taking preventative measures and finding products for your individual needs, you will have the ability to stop the aging process and stay young forever.
