The Red Dress Campaign for Women's Hearts

February is devoted to celebrating women’s hearts. Red dresses become a symbol of strength, empowerment and awareness. Through the National Institute of Health and the American Heart Association, we are reminded that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, and that early screening and detection can actually prevent disease. People ask, “What’s so different about women’s hearts?” In short: everything. We love differently, mourn differently, celebrate differently and ache differently. And that is just the beginning.

Wedding Dress Ready

 Every bride dreams of looking and feeling her best on her wedding day. Very often, as soon as the engagement ring is slipped on her finger, she begins planning for the big day. This is also the best time for your fitness plan and program to begin. Using a calendar countdown is helpful in setting both short and long-term goals. Keeping the goals realistic helps avoid failure.

Cosmetic Surgery Today - The Latest Technology

Now is the perfect time to consider what you can do for yourself to make a significant and immediate improvement in your appearance.  Do you ever look in the mirror and find yourself disturbed with the loose skin on your upper arms?  Have you noticed an increase in the cellulite on your thighs? Are those dark, puffy circles under your eyes more noticeable than they were before?  Have you seen a difference in your breasts after childbirth or just with age?  Studies have shown that 90% of people agree with at least one of these questions!  Why wait any longer, now is the time to improve your appearance and gain back that youthful confidence in yourself.

Many procedures can effectively eliminate the signs of aging and dramatically improve your body tone.  Most of us notice the loose skin under our arms as we age, especially if we had a significant weight loss.  It is a known fact that the effects of time leave both men and women with the loss of skin tone.  An “arm lift” (Brachioplasty) can be your salvation.  Although loose upper arm skin is most often related to weight loss, even those of average weight can experience this as a result of the natural aging process.  If you were ever overweight, you more than likely developed heavy upper arms.  After weight loss, skin often fails to tighten, and so it sags. This arm lift procedure is performed to remove excess skin to restore a more youthful appearance to the arms. The results of this procedure are long-lasting and can produce a dramatic and significant improvement in the appearance and the firmness of the upper arms leaving you with a more youthful and firmer looking arm contour.  Why not wear those sleeveless tops and strapless dresses and be able to show off, with confidence, younger looking and thinner arms that are toned and firm.   Another procedure that is very effective in returning that youthful look is an ‘eyelift’.

Taking Control, The Holiday Eating Plan. 

When someone says, “I’ll take the lesser of two evils” or truly believes that they are “Damned if you do or damned if you don’t,” that is probably the person who is going to gain weight during the holiday season. Feeling doomed before you even begin is a common problem, especially among those who find it difficult to manage their weight and take care of themselves.
 I frequently have a conversation about the eating plan during this time of year. Inevitably, it leads to negotiation: “I will only have one cookie, so I can eat a little extra turkey …” This odd rationalization is intended to make oneself feel better, when it is simply a case of self-sabotage. I recently read a brilliant statement: “Getting healthy is not a punishment. It is a gift.” Getting healthy by not overeating isn’t punishment; it is learning how to take care of yourself.

Feeding Into Fitness

Fitness enthusiasts who want the best results combine healthy eating with their fitness routines. Living on the North Shore of Long Island, we have many fabulous restaurants to choose from. My students are always expressing concerns about where to go out for dinner to eat as healthily as they would at home. There are many places to choose from where the chef will specifically cater to your dietary needs.
