Who use Lip sticks

This will protect your lips from getting dried up. This should be followed especially in the winters to prevent dry and chapped lips.

Biting Lips?

• Lips secrete an oily substance in little amounts called sebum. This keeps the moisture of the lips locked.

This damages the lips and also sebum secreted will be of no use effecting the delicate texture of lips. So it is advised to stop this in order to prevent further damage.
• When removing the lip make up instead of simply wiping away with cotton,you can dampen the cotton balls with almond oil or olive oil and then remove it. This not only will act as lubricant,it also provides nourishment to lips.

Diets Are Just Temporary.

    No matter how much you are strict about your diet chart its likely to gain weight after 6 months or so. Many a time weight gain is more than weight lost (statistics reveal That people who diet have more chances to become obese than who eat normally).

Dieting Causes Chronic Effects

     Each year dieting is related to severe health damage such as sudden death from heart arrhythmia or electrolyte imbalance and deaths in the United States

Disorganizes Normal Body Mechanism.

    Swift weight loss puts the body into a stressful, defensive and aggravating state. The body tries to protect itself against weight loss by lowering metabolism, heart rate, temperature and sexual function. further, there is a drop in intellectual, emotional and social activity.

Dieting Causes Weight Cycling

    According to analysis higher death rates are associated with weight cycling(losing and gaining weight over and over)

Makes body infirm

      Most of the dieters feel exhausted, tired, lightheaded, and have difficulty concentrating because they may lack essential nutrients, including high quality iron, zinc, protein and sufficient calories.

Dieting Leads To Uncontrolled Eating

    Dieting disrupts normal eating. Dieters override inner signals of hunger and satiety, so they may no longer know when they are hungry or when they are full, and eat accordingly.

Primary Precursor To Eating Disorders

    Many profession believe the increasingly high rate of eating disorders in the U.S. is due, at least in part, to the high percentage of people who are dieting and restricting food.

Causes Food Obsession

    Dieters spend more time thinking about food and eating. This “drive to eat” when food is limited is believed to be a natural survival virtue defending against starvation and malnutrition.

Dieting Diminishes Women, and increasingly men and children

   Dieting focuses attention on appearance, rather than self-worth, talent and personal fulfillment. And unfortunately, dieting mothers become role models for dieting children.

Dieters put their lives on hold, “waiting to be thin.”
