According to a recent report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, ANY DIET that limits calorie intake to 1500 calories per day will result in weight loss. However, this groundbreaking report emphasizes that only a diet that is moderate in fat and high in complex carbohydrates will help you keep weight off permanently. In addition, this moderate fat, high carbohydrate diet — which is what we serves up in our daily meal plans–is the only proven way to produce long term health benefits such as lowering cholesterol and blood pressure levels and reducing cancer risks.

A facial is the best treatment you can give yourself. It not only improves the circulation of blood but also stimulates the muscles of your face. It eases tension and gives a fresh glow to your skin. Tie up your hair, then clean your face with one tablespoon rice flour mixed to a paste with curds, add a pinch of turmeric powder and apply on your face. Rub nicely into the skin, then remove with a piece of cotton-wool soaked in warm water, wash with cold water and pat dry.
