Aerobic Training vs Weight Training for Weight Loss

If you are motivated to simply lose weight with exercise, aerobic training is most likely your best choice. However, if your goal is to sculpt your body shape you might want to cross train. 

Researchers at Duke University researched whether aerobic exercise or resistance training with weights, or a daily routine incorporating both would lead to the most weight loss. They divided a group of 234 overweight adults into three training groups: The first group performed aerobics only, the second group participated in resistance workouts, and the remaining group exercised using a combination of both. A total of 119 participants completed the study. Results showed that those in the aerobic group trained for an average of 133 minutes per week and lost weight; the resistance training group worked out for approximately 180 minutes per week and gained weight-they replaced fat with muscle, which is denser than fat. Participants who did both types of exercise didn’t lose as much weight as those in the aerobic group but had the largest decline in waist circumference. The study was published in the December 15, 2012 issue of the Journal of Applied Physiology.

Pure Paradise Facial Cleansing Oil

Oil cleansing is an amazing way to cleanse, restore and renew your skin naturally without harsh detergents or toxic chemical preservatives. The process is simple but the results are remarkable!

Pure Paradise Facial Cleansing Oil is a combination of 6 natural oils which cleanse, support, and nourish skin perfectly.  Oil cleansing produces much more nourished and moisturized skin that traditional soap and detergent based facial cleaners. The basic concept of this skin care and cleansing method is that the oil used to massage your skin will dissolve the oil that has hardened with impurities and found itself stuck in your pores. The steam will open your pores, allowing the oil to be easily removed. Should you need it, the smallest drop of Pure Paradise Facial Cleansing Oil patted over damp skin will provide the necessary lubrication to keep your skin from over-compensating in oil production.

Even Acne.org explains the benefits of oil cleansing:
"Your skin naturally produces oil for a reason. Oil helps lubricate, heal, protect and moisturize your skin. Contrary to popular belief and contrary to what the makers of acne products want you to believe, OIL does not cause acne. Hormones, bacteria, and dirt are to blame for that. So all these products we purchase to get rid of the oil…cause our body to compensate by producing MORE oil. Oil that then pools up on skin that is already irritated and inflamed from the chemicals and fragrances in the soaps we are using…no WONDER breakouts occur!"

What to Do:

Pure Paradise Facial Cleansing Oil is naturally antimicrobial antibacterial. Rich with emollients, vitamins and antioxidants, it contains coconut oil, avocado oil, rice bran oil, evening primrose oil and aloe oil which immediately go to work to restore and replenish skin while removing harmful oils and impurities.
To Wash Face With Oil Cleansing:

1. Massage - Pour about a quarter size amount of Pure Paradise Cleansing Oil into your hand and massage into dry skin (don’t wet skin first). Using smooth circular strokes massage for at least a minute (two minutes is better) or until you are sure that the oil has saturated your skin. This will also remove make-up very effectively, so there is no need to remove make-up first. You can even leave the oil on the skin for up to 10 minutes to really deep clean pores. 
2. Steam - Place a clean washcloth under very hot tap water until it is completely saturated. Wring it out and place over your face. This will steam against the skin to remove the oils and any impurities. Leave the wash cloth on for about a minute, or until it cools.
3. Remove - Use the same washcloth to gently remove any remaining oil. A thin layer of oil will remain on the skin and this is beneficial.

Typically, no moisturizer is needed after the adjustment period, but if you experience dry skin, add a few drops of oil to skin after cleansing. Or try Pure Paradise Facial Cleansing Oil as a night serum, packed with vitamins and minerals, Pure Paradise Oil helps skin repair a
