“Beauty is always the result of an accident. Of a violent lapse between acquired habits and those yet to be acquired. It baffles and disgusts. It may even horrify. Once the new habit has been acquired, the accident ceases to be an accident. It becomes classical and loses its shock value.”
-Jean Maurice Eugne Clment Cocteau

Staying fit during winter can pose as a challenge due to harsh temperatures that may keep you shut up inside. However, maintaining a good exercise routine despite any of life’s many obstacles will help keep you healthy from the inside out. What are the many benefits of physical activity?
Physical activity supports the removal of waste, oxygenates cells and stimulates the lymphatic system. This stimulation is vital since unlike our cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system requires activity or movement to function properly. The lymphatic system uses our largest organ, our skin to release toxins. Therefore, when we exercise and work up a sweat we are thus releasing and removing toxins from our body. There are many methods to detox our bodies, but the good old natural way is always best.
Beauty Quickie: Dairy and sugar do not need to be completely stricken from your diet, but they should be kept to a limit. Starchy carbs, sugar and dairy all have something in common that can wreck havoc on skin. All three can cause spikes in hormones that in response cause acne. Experiment with how much dairy and sugar your body can handle without causing a breakout. If you love carbs (we know we do) stick to whole grains or fruits that have natural sugars.
