read moreCholesterol Levels… Do you know yours?
About two weeks ago I went to my doctor for a routine check up and asked him to measure my cholesterol. I actually expected that my cholesterol will be low, and here is what came out:Total cholesterol : 179 mg/dl ( range is between 140-199 is norm) so , I thought, there is nothing to worry about, but I kept reading… Triglycerides – 61 mg/dl ( range is 49 – 149 is norm) so that was fine as well. But HDL cholesterol ( good cholesterol) was 53 mg/dl, where you want it as high as you can, prefferably of course somewhere about...
read moreRegiment for beautiful skin
Did you know that the best you can do for your skin is to eat right? That’s where you start, eating fruits and vegetables and taking vitamins. It is important to support your skin from inside, as well as from outside. I have extensive experience with different cosmetic lines and know a lot about vitamins, collagen, skin structure and such, without this knowledge it is impossible to advise customers with face cream choices or choices of skin care regiment. So every time I meet someone who is obviously in their 50 – 60 but looks...

You are capable to do anything. Really. That’s what you tell yourself every time you get on that elliptical, “I can do it, I can!”. Any professional athlete knows it, that you have to push yourself to your limits to achieve results. Every day, tell yourself, I can do it. I can. Take it to everything. Take it to everyday life, you will see that your dreams will become true. This is just one example we all Russians read about when we were growing up. There was a World War II, and one Russian pilot’s airplane crushed in...

read moreBEFORE AND AFTER
So it had been 3 years since I started to really watch what I eat. I had been meat eater whole my life and I could not imagine to eat anything without a bread. Even pasta. I loved potatoes, loved meat balls and steak. I had horrible migraine headaches once in a while and they were horrible, just horrible. You cannot talk, listen to anyone, read, watch TV or anything like this. The only way you can better your headache was to go throw up and it will take the edge off. If head start hurting it was for a couple of days and get ready to hate your...

I ordered this book because of the article I read in Shape Magazine for November 2010. It was an article about Mariska Hargitay and her eating habits. I had no idea she was 46 years old, judging how she looks. I also heard of another eating theory that is followed by Surgeon General of Russia ( Russian Health Minister)...
