All of us dream of getting older with none of the wrinkles to give away our age. What if that was possible and not just a dream? What if there was an amazing 10 minute a day routine for anti-aging?

If you haven’t heard of the “5 Tibetan Rites” for anti-aging it’s time you did. This is a yogic system, originating in the Himalayas, made up of postures and exercises that are described as highly energized.

It all began two thousand years ago when Tibetan monks made a claim that aging could be reversed using the rites they developed. The Rites are simply a condensed version of 21 yoga exercises down to five exercises. Rather than having to engage yourself in yoga for a few hours now, you only need 10 minutes. Remember, the Tibetan monks must have known something because it’s not uncommon for them to live be 120 years of…

The Happy Musing for the Day: You can find something beautiful anywhere you look when you are looking for something beautiful.

I remember long ago in Psychology 101 my teacher explaining how a need or intention alerted the subconscious to bring to the forefront those things that fulfilled that need or intention. The example he gave at that time was that if you were driving along a highway and became hungry, you would continually notice restaurants along the way. Naturally, that’s an easy one and one that we have all experienced. But, in the same way you can find something beautiful anywhere you look, if you are looking for something beautiful.

Right now, it is very important to look for something beautiful, something positive, something uplifting. These things are everywhere. The intention sets your sifting mechanism and the things you are looking for will be found. There is much to see and…

They’ve been telling us for quite some time now that we need to watch what we eat. We already know that what we put in our mouth can cause obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and a host of other diseases and illnesses. But did you know that what you eat can either keep you looking years younger or make you look a lot older than you are?

That’s because our body stores sugar and when we have highs and lows of sugar in our body it’s not only not good for our health, it’s also not good for our youthfulness. For example, we should be avoiding eating foods that have a high glycemic index. Great – but then what should our diet be to make us younger? Glad you asked.

Different foods have different glycemic values. According to Dr. Giampapa, a well respected antiaging specialist, it’s important to eat foods with a low…

Can women get waves in their hair like their male counterparts? Believe it or not, the answer is a resounding yes. Black women can get waves in their hair just like black men can. Here’s some simple rules for the ladies looking to get waves going in their hair.

First of all, you must remember that waves come from curly (also known as nappy) hair. If your hair is too straight it will be much more difficult for you to get waves. This is a sensitive issue because a lot of black women like to straighten their hair, which goes against the natural curl.

The next step is to get a haircut. You will need to go to an experienced beautician or barber. Make sure they understand the look you are going for and have the experience to execute the look for you. You will need to get a shorter cut than…

Most people think that if they don’t have an hour to workout, than it’s just not worth it. That’s complete hogwash. Look at it like this, if someone asked you “How do you feel at 59 minutes and 59 seconds in your workout?” Nothing magical happened at 60 minutes did it?

The answer, of course, is “no”.

The thing you have to understand about your body is that it responds to consistency. It doesn’t respond any better on a longer slower approach than it does to a shorter, higher intensity workout. An effective workout can be had in any amount of time, depending on how you change the way you workout.
