Come winters and you realize that your ever so glowing skin is radiant no more. One can’t help but notice that the winters bring with them little more than just warm clothes, bonfires and snuggling up in a warm quilt. They bring dry and unsightly skin. Certain simple pointers can help fight the flaking and cracking dry skin of the winter season:

1. Moisturizers

A good oil based moisturizer is your best bet to banish that dry winter skin. The frigid weather absorbs all the moisture of the skin. The essential body oils vanish with the winter season as well. Hence it becomes all the more important to use artificial means of keeping your skin moist. It is also essential to use an oil based winter ointment only and not a water based one because oil forms a protective layer over the skin to shield it from the harsh weather by retaining natural body oils and moisture.

When you see high fiber foods around you, the first thought in your mind would be what fiber actually is?

Firstly, let me tell you about fiber. Fiber, sometimes called roughage, is the portion of plants which is indigestible by humans. It majorly consists of two components — soluble fiber that is readily fermented in the colon into gases and byproducts, and insoluble fibers which are inert, absorbs water from digestive system and eases defecation.  It acts by changing the nature of the contents in the alimentary tract, and by changing the absorption process of other nutrients and chemicals.

High fiber foods are low in calories, fats or minerals and the human body is not able to break the fiber. So it gets drained from the body without getting digested. Most importantly high fiber foods act as natural appetite suppressants i.e. it swells in your stomach and make you feel full. When a person feels full he is likely to eat less food or snacks. In this fashion it helps the people who are planning or trying to reduce their weight.

How many of us honestly believe in the phrase “it’s not about quantity, it’s about quality” when it comes to our life expectancy? Not many I bet. I’ am not trying to suggest that humans as a race do not thrive for a better quality of living. All I’ am saying is that today we yearn for a life which is satisfying and long. Longevity is directly proportional to the food we consume. A healthy diet is the key to higher life expectancy.
