Sleep Is The Best Way To Beauty

You do not need any Botox session or any luxurious cream to give you that relaxed and refreshed look when all you have to do is get a sufficient amount of sleep. At least this is what Science tells us that getting 8 hours of sleep will definitely make you more attractive – but still most of us disregard this.

A recent study was made by the Karolinska Institute saying that in their particular study, the participants who did not drink alcohol and did not smoke at least 48 hours prior to getting sleep for eight hours for a night looked well when they woke up. This is as compared to those who did not get eight hours of sleep.

To view the complete difference, the two sets of participants were taken photographs without any make up on and it proved that the ones who are sleep deprived are not just less attractive but also not as healthy.

During these fast paced days, one of the most effective ways to get into a good sleeping habit is by sticking to a routine. Nothing else can be better to give your brain some calmness before you hit the sack.

If you want to work a lot and be more effective, you must also get to sleep a lot whenever there is a chance. Or better yet, make time for sleep.

Get Those Popeye Muscles With Some Real Spinach

A new study from Sweden says that spinach is really the one that gave the famous Popeye The Sailor Man all the big muscles. Spinach is considered a superfood that is an ideal source of inorganic nitrate that when taken can also help in powering up our cells.

Its effect can be so potent that you can feel it working in just three days. However, the researchers still do not recommend taking supplements that have the inorganic nitrate component. They advise instead for people to eat about a plate of spinach or a couple of red beets. If you would include a sufficient amount of such fruits and vegetables in your daily diet, then you can be sure to be a lot healthier. However, there are also some studies that reveal how the use of strong mouthwashes can reduce the level of nitrate. Hence, it would not hurt to steer away from those very powerful mouthwash products since they only just sting your mouth.

So if you want to build those muscles, you have got to give some love for spinach.
