Health Notes

 

Skin Care Part 1
Is day-to-day mental stress taking a toll on your skin? Take our quiz to find out if you have a Vata-related skin imbalance. Give yourself one point for never or seldom, two for sometimes and three for often or always.
 
Does your skin lack glow and natural radiance?
Does your skin look and feel dry even just after you rinse with lots of water?
Does your skin look thin and loose?
Is your skin flaky?
Does your skin feel cold to the touch?
Is your brow constantly knit?
Do you see more wrinkles and fine lines than there were a month ago?
Do relaxing treatments make you feel temporarily better?
  If your score added up to twelve points or higher, your skin may benefit and look younger longer if you keep Vata in balance.

Eat plenty of fresh juicy fruits to restore moisture balance from within. Oranges, grapes, cherries, peaches, melons, berries, plums, pineapples, mangos and papayas are examples of Vata-balancing fruits.

Eat cooked green leafy vegetables. Chop the greens before cooking and season them with Vata-balancing spices such as cumin and ginger or Vata Churna.
Include a little Ghee in your diet to provide lubrication and natural radiance.
Eat a handful of nuts each day - blanched almonds are considered excellent.
