Obesity is becoming a main factor for health issues in the world. Drink lots of water, eating fruits, vegetables, proteins etc on a daily bases is very important in keeping up with a healthy diet. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020, a healthy eating plan:

  • Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products
  • Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts
  • Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars
  • Stays within your daily calorie needs

Many persons don’t enjoy eating healthy because they maybe don’t like the foods. But eating healthy can be rather fun. Instead of eating a regular apple or single fruits, a fruit salad could be made with the various colors. Families should take it into consideration that obesity and not eating healthy can lead to drastic things such as cancer or even death. According to the US National Library of Medicine 2018, obesity and its repercussions constitute an important source of morbidity, impaired quality of life and its complications can have a major bearing on life expectancy.

Obesity is seen in our children very regular. Children don’t go outside and play and be active anymore.

Every individual is beautiful from their head to their toes but you can be more beautiful by eating right.

EDTK3004- Water and Skin Care

EDTK3004- Water and Skin Care   When I was younger my mother ensured that my siblings and I drank at least 5 bottle of water a day. I never liked that fact that we had to drink so much water a day because I used to always say that I don’t sweat a lot so I’m not losing any water from my body. As I got older, I realized the level of importance of drinking water. According to UWHealth, drinking an adequate amount of water daily is important for overall good health because water aids in digestion, circulation, absorption and even excretion. The skin is an organ and with every organ has cells. Within each cell it contains water. If someone does not drink enough water a day, their skin will become flaky, dry and tight. There will not be any moisture in the skin. There are various kinds of products that could be used to moisten your skin. According to Everyday Health, there are five best ingredients that lotions should have to ensure moisture and good skin:Drinking water edtk 3004.jpgLotion skin

If your lotion does not these five ingredients, I can assure you it has no moisture and you are basically putting nothing on your skin. Every individual is beautiful from their head to their toes and with the right lotion your skin can be just as beautiful.

EDTK3004- Hair Treatment

Everyone has a different type of hair. Some have kinky, straight, wavy and curly. Many persons believe that what you do with one texture of hair can be done for the other for example, many persons believe that what can be done with curly hair can be done with kinky hair. In the past, straight hair was seen as the “in thing” because women felt as though they needed to have straight long flowing hair to look beautiful. However, things and time have been shifted where women who used to straighten their hair whether with relaxer or flat iron, are now going and staying natural, that’s if their hair wasn’t naturally straight. With curly hair, you can just add the products or maybe use conditioner to get that curly, wavy look, on the other hand for kinky hair, individuals have to go through the process of shampooing and conditioning and combing out, to get that nice texture. Your hair products are the first and most important step to achieving a desired look or hairstyle (Luxy Hair, 2018). There are many products that are available for each type of hair to get that nice flow that women and some men want. For straight hair, women have to put curling rods in to get that natural flow because their hair isn’t naturally curly. Nonetheless, each and every woman is beautiful from their head to their toes whether with straight hair, kinky hair, wavy hair or curly.

What brand of products do you use, whether male or female, to get that nice smooth look and feel?
