Life saving health and beauty routine: exercise Whether you're a workout fanatic or cardiovascular-ly challenged, remember that the payoff is sweet: "Weight maintenance, lean muscle tissue, better mental clarity and happiness, a regular metabolic rate, less yoyo-ing with weight, and much more, the list is endless!" says Borden. Cardio exercises and rebounding (jumping or bouncing) help the lymphatic system, keeping you physically and mentally young -- allowing you to stay active and do things you enjoy longer, she says.
How often should you workout?
"Three to four days a week for 60 minutes is ideal," says Borden. "That can be a mixture of cardiovascular and strength training." She suggests things like weight training, rebounding, full body circuit strength and conditioning training, but above all -- doing any physical activity that you love (for her its Jiu Jitsu, but for you maybe it's tango or tennis.) Plus, a healthy diet should accompany your workout. "Healthy fat is your friend," adds Borden. (She loves Udo's oil, and recommends two tablespoons per 50 pounds of body weight per day.) "It helps with lean muscle tissue, digestion, skin problems, sun sensitivity and better mental health. Also, I can't stress it enough -- drink water, water and more water. Start with your body weight in ounces of water per day, especially if you have not been a big water drinker," she says.
Ideally I would love to do all these when required to, but I foresee that becoming very expensive. Except for working out and eating healthy I can't afford to do everything at all the times necessary. Ah!
I believe that for the busy person who really does not take care of their skin this is a very good article. We know that they will not heed to all the suggestions, but, if they take one or 2 points away it will be to their benefit. Face it, if they are busy, they are probably not going to read the entire article anyway!!
Wow! Good luck convincing my husband to let me get a massage once a week! I would love to, but I usually only get one every several years. I work a very stressful job, so perhaps it may be worth looking into!

Interesting piece. Some of the "impact without treatment" portions seem a bit dramatic.
