Indian-Inspired Recipe for Brighter Skin

India is a country with a distinct beauty. The cinema known as Bollywood shows radiant colors, and beautiful women adorned with jewels, mendhi patterns, and black smoky eyes.
Grooming practices in India are very traditional. Indians believe that a healthy diet, oiling the body, and avoiding the use of chemicals are the best way to maintain a healthy lifestyle. That’s why in India many oils, plants, and herbs substitute the consumer goods used in the West.
India has a connection to the feminine power represented by the Devi (goddesses) in the Hindu religion that showcases natural beauty, and untouched skin. During my visit in 2012, I discovered that in this place called India, life lives in everything. Drop a seed and it will grow overnight.

What does it mean to be beautiful in India?

Both the elder and modern Indian woman embraces her beauty.
It’s always about what’s in the inside, the intention, the truth behind the smile. Beauty is celebrated by the connection to oneself and the quiet of the mind in this magical land.
From these cultural values, Indian women are more involved in inner beauty than outer beauty.
Wedding ceremonies are one of the most beautiful times for young women to take part in culture-rooted traditions. Among many of the elaborate traditional wedding preparations is one that any woman can easily do for herself to create brighter skin.
To prepare and clean the skin, turmeric powder is applied to the body as a mask (see below) and a bath of oils and powders are mixed to create a relaxing rejuvenating treatment.

Nothing But Sweat Workout Posted by Lisa-Marie   Warning : Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/sites/bodyrock.tv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/bodyrock.tv/wo-breakdown.php  on line  528 . Hi BodyRockers, . Face it you are weird. In today’s world if you train like a warrior, flex your discipline when it comes to your diet, and pass on grazing on donuts in the break room at work chances are you are chided on some level by those around as being weird. Get used to it. Embrace the smell of your sweaty socks. Not many people make a daily practice out of pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones for one workout a day. Not many people step out of what is comfortable for themselves period. This is a niche movement. Not everyone will get why you train this way or why you train at all. Thankfully we don’t need anyones permission or approval, and if we are looking for support we have a place to go where people get it. Being weird requires a good measure of independ

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects. The health of our lungs and entire respiratory system is affected by the quality of the air we breathe. In addition to oxygen, this air contains other substances
