The chemisrty of smiling

Smile!The chemistry of smiling —
Try it and see!

Did you know that smiling:

  • Makes you appear more attractive to others
  • Lowers your blood pressure
  • Boosts your immune system
  • Lifts your mood, releasing endorphins and serotonin
  • Releases natural pain killers and relieves stress
  • Makes you appear confident and more successful
  • Makes you appear younger to others

    Natural mood lifters without side effects

    One very effective way to lift your mood is to optimize your dopamine levels — and you can do this naturally with an amino acid called L-tyrosine. You see, dopamine is the body’s “feel good” neurotransmitter put out by your brain, and L-tyrosine is the building block for the dopamine. The bottom line, you need L-tyrosine to feel good.

    What they’ve found is that L-tyrosine creates mental energy, alertness, and feelings of enthusiasm. It even has an overall energizing effect on your body, improving physical stamina.

    “While Energy Vitalizer boosts your energy quickly, stops fatigue, and even clears a foggy mind, it’s the ‘happiness’ factor that makes you feel so good.

    While you can get some L-tyrosine by eating lots of fish, poultry, soybeans, and sesame seeds, many women lack L-tyrosine. This may be due to low protein intake or because digestive issues interfere with absorption of the protein.

    The answer is to supplement with L-tyrosine, but the secret is taking the right amount so your body will produce optimal levels of dopamine. What I’ve found is that 500 mg a day is the ideal dosage, and that’s why it’s the exact amount you get in Energy Vitalizer.

Beauty tips for women over 40

Anti-Aging Make-up Tips for Women Over 40—They Really Work!

DO wear less foundation or switch to a tinted moisturizer. Heavy foundation will settle in wrinkles and exaggerate facial lines.

DON’T wear matte make-up. Use dewy, sheer formulas that reflect light, instead of dulling your skin.

DO use as many all-natural products as possible. As skin ages it becomes far more sensitive and reactive to artificial ingredients.

DON’T line the lips with dark lip pencils that feather and bleed. Use moisturizing lipsticks combined with soft glosses and go for depth instead.

DO use the new transparent, light cream blushes. Stay away from drying powders or heavy creams that “stain” the cheeks.

DON’T create sharp, dark eyebrows with hard lines. Use more natural colors with a fuller shape.

DO CELEBRATE YOUR AGE and the wisdom that comes with it! Confidence and happiness will always make you look more beautiful!

Have you found a solution ?

I am on a quest to find a solution to Menopause problems.
My girlfriend Lollo, said the other day: " Menopause " is not a small thing" It is huge !!"
I have to agree... it is not something we women talk about as much as we should.
I for one was totally in the dark when Menopause hit .
I honestly though I was dying.. Heart palpitations from he.., numbness in my left arm, dripping with sweat and dizzy.
I called a girlfriend as I could not take any decision myself.
I was truly like a cow on ice. I drove myself to the hospital on the advise of my friend.
Arrived scared to death. They hooked me up to EG and all sorts of things. My blood pressure was through the ceiling.. I was so scared !!!
One of the nurses, said :
" My dear, welcome to the club, I can still remember the day and time it hit me ". All the other nurses joined in and agreed.
Thank heaven for girls .. they did not make me feel silly or stupid.
Tired is more the word that comes to mind.

I found some homeopathic patches with belladonna in them ... worked wonders for a year,
then all hell broke loose again.......I was melting.. every 15 minutes around the clock.
Couldn't wear make up , clothes or leave the house......as I started to smell and looked like I just came in from a marathon run, all the time. Sleeping went out the door and so did my sense of humor. I didn't want to live ........started loosing my mind and my hair and gained weight around the middle. People told me " It is natural, you are no different then all of us , so cop it on the chin". Well, I don't believe this would be a "cop on the chin" story if men had menopause. Do you know the true meaning of the word, menopause?
MEN O PAUSE...... there you have it!!

Found Dr Cabot, who is an alternative to HRT.....but very expensive.
I tried the lozenges and had an allergic reaction.. then we tried the cream, and it worked very well for 2 months. We increased the estrogen , still not good......girls it is a struggle.
What works for some doesn't work for others so it is a trial and testing.

I have found an UK device, and hopefully I will be able to tell you about this shortly.
