Say NO to Psoriasis

Say “NO” to Psoriasis

There are five different variations of this auto-immune disease, therefore what works for one, will not

necessarily be effective for the other.

Although Psoriasis is not a lifestyle disease, both stress and diet have an influence on the severity of

the condition. Controlling insulin levels and breaking down insulin resistance have a positive impact.

Insulin transports not only sugar but also minerals (e.g. magnesium). The latter plays a major role in

normal cellular development.

Chemicals will only temporarily alleviate pain, so to effectively treat Psoriasis follow these two easy,

yet effective steps:

1) Drastically reduce the acid and heavy metal content in your body and detoxify

 Supplement your meals with the essential vitamins and minerals your system needs to

function properly. These ingredients cannot be found in our food in sufficient quantity. Use

OptiVite, OptiC and OptiMega daily.

 Take a tonic like Bio Harmony to boost your immune system on a regular basis.

 Use OptiClear to eliminate heavy metals and OptiToniQ+ to eliminate acid in your body. In

other words, detoxify your body.

 Apply creams such as Resque Crème and Sensi Crème to your affected skin to help the

regeneration of cells.

2) Help your body naturally generate the ingredients necessary to ease your plight

 Reduce or even eliminate alcohol, tobacco and carbohydrates from your lifestyle. Remember

that your skin is composed of a sub-layer of fat. To help maintain this layer, your diet should

compose of good, high-fat foods such as eggs, avocado, cheese, etc. (NO low fat products).

Both wheat and gluten should be excluded from your diet. Most, but not all people can

tolerate dairy.

 Vitamin A is another important component in the skin-healing process. If you do not get

enough vitamin A, you should take a supplement. OptiVite capsules will provide the dosage

you need every day. The effect may be very slow in the beginning (it could even look

negative), but as soon as your skin can absorb the benefit of the vitamin, the results will

become positive.

Annique products that help treat Psoriasis

1. OptiToniQ+ to restore your pH Balance, rendering your gut inhabitable to viruses, bacteria,

fungi and cancer. Every cell in your body needs minerals to function properly. OptiToniQ+

provides 84 bio-available minerals. It helps cells, including immune system cells, function at

an optimal level, thus identifying and eliminating diseases. Hyperacidity (too much acid in the

body) can be detrimental to your health (not only for psoriasis sufferers). This wonder

product helps the body regain balance, eliminating the negative (and often unnoticed) effects

of too much acid in the body.

2. Detox Tea to get rid of all impurities in the body. In fact, all teas are beneficial and a cup of

Green Rooibos Tea daily works wonders.

3. OptiClear to get rid of the heavy metals poisoning in your body

4. OptiDerm and OptiMega for their essential fatty acids and skin benefits

5. OptiSolve as a Vitamin A supplement.

6. Resque Crème and Rooibos Tea to assist in reducing skin itchiness.

7. Bio Harmony will get rid of nasty toxins, as well as ensures that nutrients are absorbed.

8. OptiCalMag supplies magnesium.

9. OptiFlora to help detoxify and support the absorption of nutrients from food and other

supplements.

10. ActiLess helps control insulin levels.

5 reasons why you should use a facial scrub

 

 

1. By exfoliating your skin you remove dead skin cells to reveal more radiant skin.

2. Cleansing removes some of the build-up, but not all of it. Using a scrub at least twice a week helps remove the additional impurities, eliminating any remaining build-up that could ruin an otherwise perfect complexion.

3. Exfoliating at least twice a week helps create an even skin-tone.

4. Only one third of products penetrate the skin if you do not exfoliate your skin regularly.

5. Exfoliating at least twice a week allows products to penetrate the skin better, which enables the products to give your skin the benefits they were designed for.

Tzar: My Beauty story

 

 

#Beauty Bulletin #Lipstick Effect

Nothing beats a clear and fresh face.

As women, we constantly strive to improve not only our appearance but every aspect of our lives as well. It is during this journey that we realise and discover true beauty.

 

My story begins much like any other. As a teen I did not experience much acne up until about the age of 17 and when it came it hit me really hard. As a young girl, we are very conscious about our skin, especially the skin on your face. It represents beauty and acne and scars just make you look so unattractive and even ugly. It’s a dream and wish to have perfectly flawless skin especially for an event as crucial as your matric farewell.

My acne was a real confidence breaker and really made me feel terrible about myself and how I look. I tried various products some of which aggravated the problem, left my skin dry and blotchy or simply was just a huge waste of money. I was at the end of my rope and just wanted to try anything.

Nevertheless, my matric farewell was smooth thanks to a face full or make up and a good makeup artist. Even that, did not make me feel better because I knew deep down it was not the solution to my problem. After school, job interviews was a nightmare; do you have any idea how uncomfortable a face full or make up can become during the day? Plus, no matter how educated you are, if you cannot speak about if confidently in an interview because you are worried people will judge you because of the marks on your face you will never get the job.

My Id picture was the absolute worst, a skin full of marks, scars which I simply regret. For approximately 3 to 4 years of my life my confidence took a huge knock. I felt ashamed by the state of my skin and had almost give up hope when .....................................

At age 21 I discovered something that changed my life forever. While listening to a  radio broadcast on herbal home remedies, which I am all for, I called in to the show and shared with the listeners my own home remedy and won a free facial from a brand called Annique. I was excited and hopeful that this would solve my skin problems. The day of the facial came and I looked forward to the pampering. I met with the beautician and at first glance, you could see on her face exactly what she thought of my skin condition because she scolded me for not taking better care of my skin.

I felt so embarrassed that I immediately retracted into my shell. While doing the facial, which was absolutely heavenly by the way and cleansed my skin, she explained the importance of investing in a good skincare regime and products at a young age for you to reap the rewards later. This was also mentioned to me again at a skincare training workshop I attended for Annique.

The products used on my skin consisted of the Annique Normal Cleanser, Detox Facial Mask and Herbal Moisturiser. Incredible products which I can say made my skin glow with radiance and cleanliness. Later, I discovered the other products in the range.

The beautician recommended the most suitable products to use on my skin which I only went back after about 3 weeks, i was thinking about it, to buy the full range. I figured I was worth it!!

What I enjoy most about this product range, apart from the fact that it cleared up my skin, is the fact that it contains Rooibos; a herb I have grown up to love and adore very much and I get to enjoy the great anti-ageing  properties it presents too. Cleansing only happens at night, which is a big plus and the products are reasonably sized too.

My favourite products, the ones I believe have truly made the biggest difference is my skin care condition has to be the Rescue Cream, Miracle Tissue Oil and Detox Mask. Together, they worked wonders to clear up my blemishes (which were plenty), reduce inflammation and swelling and soothe the acne. Incredible!

 

It is approximately 10 years later now and I have never looked back. My skin has never felt more radiant, healthy, glowing and I have never felt more confident, empowered, rejuvenated and brave.

All of this would not have been possible if it had not been for the dedication and consistency in improving my self -image by improving my skin and by taking te first steps towards this great goal.

I feel so much happier, with a positive outlook on life with enough courage to speak about my experiences. I still get the odd pimple from time to time but it doesn’t bother me because I know I have a good skincare plan in place.

 

My message to all women is that confidence should not be measured by level of beauty and never ever sells yourself short or put yourself down because of a flaw you believe to be a flaw. If you don’t like the way you look, change it, if you have acne or scars and marks, invest in a good skincare products and treat it.  We are only as good as what we believe ourselves to be.

THE BATTLE - A POEM FOR YOUTH DAY, SOUTH AFRICA

The Battle – A Poem for Youth Day

I am too young to remember
Yet I have inherited this.
I played no part as an innocent child,
But I must face the consequences.

Because the wounds have not healed.
We try to make it better,
But the hurt, the bitterness, runs so deep.
Sometimes it feels like we’re fighting a losing battle.

It is an undeserved part that we play
In trying to undo the injustice.
It is a burden, a sorrowful load
That we never asked to carry on our shoulders.

As the youth of the new millennium
We do not have the experience, the memories
To guide or hinder us on our journey –
We see the world through untainted eyes.

And yet we feel it, we feel it every day.
We sense the anger and the pain.
The blood spilt has dyed society,
It is a dark shadow, always in the back of our minds.

And yet, there is hope;
A light shines that cannot be put out.
It has burned throughout the dark night of the past,
And continues to give courage to the youth today.

Because to those who are brave enough,
To those who know that they must stand up and fight,
The future has been given –
They are the inheritors of the rainbow nation.

The journey will not be an easy one,
Its nature is such that it will not be over quickly.
But as soldiers we accept the challenge –
Together we stand, together we can be victorious.

We accept the past as part of our history,
Yet we do not live by it.
Forming new links and relationships every day,
We find strength in our shared humanity.

As children of Africa, united,
The burden becomes lighter.
The future has been handed to us
And it is a bright one.

Happy Mother's Day

"Happy Mother's Day" means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say

It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.

But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love.

 

 

 

Word of the Month: Cultivate

Networking is not a new generation concept, but a very ancient Biblical concept. Networking is relational, connecting and bridge-building. Networking is the relational work that is done on a genuinely consistent basis, creating those invisible, but powerful connections that invite skills sharing, value-adding ideas and creativity - and trading of services which can ultimately result in new business and greater profitability. This is the essence of how we CULTIVATE our business (and other) relationships for long-term growth.

What I do believe is that you’ll remember those moments in your life when you were fully involved, fully belonging and fully appreciated, those moments when you gave yourself  completely to whatever it was you were doing. You will see those times for what they were – times when you were fully alive! ~ Robert Sieger

CULTIVATING your team starts with having a vision and a sense of purpose that is far bigger than something you are able to achieve on your own. To CULTIVATE your business requires having a spirit of generosity, of being aware of how you can deposit good seed into good soil of the people in your team. To CULTIVATE is based on the law of sowing and reaping. If you help others support their God-given dream and vision, God will help you build yours.

You will find, as you look back upon life, that the moments that stand out are the moments  when you have done things for others. ~ Henry Drummond

To CULTIVATE is to make heart-to-heart connections and build your networks around relationships rather than focusing solely on the returns you will get. Good CULTIVATION demands working with a good code of ethics, treating everyone courteously, running your business professionally and with great integrity. Essentially networking is about treating people the way you wish to be treated.

Begin with the end in mind. Where you would like to see yourself finishing is the clue as to where you need to sow, how you nourish, nurture and CULTIVATE to reap an abundant harvest. So go out and CULTIVATE your network, your team, your relationships and your success!
