Acne Mapping: Your GPS for Beauty

Image
Good morning! Remember how I mentioned face mapping a couple of months ago? Well, quite a few of you had never heard of it before and seemed really interested in the topic, so when Hannah Do of Thank Your Skin offered to write a guest post for CNC, I just couldn’t refuse. (Plus, I wanted to learn more about it too!) I hope you find her post as interesting and helpful as I did! When you’re on a road trip and you’re unsure of the next turn, GPS can really be handy. For your skin issues, Traditional Chinese Medicine offers a similar tool- without the need for devices and gadgets. It’s called acne mapping. It suggests that the different zones on your face are connected with the various organs inside your body. This simply means that a pimple forming anywhere on your face can be an indication of something wrong inside you. But how’d you know? The following acne mapping ideas should help you out: Forehead If you’re frequently experiencing breakouts on your forehead, it could be relat

“A Little Bite Won’t Hurt”: The Failure of Moderation

Image
One of the biggest problems I had with the nutrition education that I received during my path to become a registered dietitian wasn’t the low fat, high carb recommendations. I was fully prepared for hearing that stuff. Instead, it was the “everything in moderation” approach to weight loss counseling that I had the biggest issue with. We were taught that unless you told people that no foods were “off limits” and that all foods are healthy “in moderation”, you could be doing people a disservice. The problem is, people don’t want to hear the truth…   Source: http://ift.tt/1WDJ3dS I think this mentality largely comes from the fact that many dietitians are themselves recovering from disordered eating. My instructor, while drinking her diet coke in-between powerpoint slides, would tell us how limiting food groups could lead to “orthorexia” and this led to an eating disorder. I remember raising my had and saying, “Don’t you think a certain level of orthorexia might be important in our

Why the Kind of Body Fat You Carry Matters

Image
All fats are not created equal. We know this because we’re constantly correcting people who get it wrong. There are good fats and bad fats and really really bad fats and fats that are conditionally good or bad. Butter isn’t corn oil isn’t fish oil isn’t monounsaturated fat isn’t palmitoleic fat isn’t linoleic acid. Sometimes trans fat isn’t even trans fat . The same thing applies to the fat on your body. Depending on its location and composition, healthfulness isn’t distributed equally among adipose tissue. Some types of body fat are worse than others. Fat is an endocrine organ. Like any other organ, it secretes hormones and other bioactive compounds that affect our physiology and determine our health. Subcutaneous fat sits just below your skin. It’s the most conspicuous and least aesthetically-pleasing fat, comprising love handles and big droopy bellies, saggy arms and flabby necks, but it’s less actively harmful than many other types of body fat. Subcutaneous fat is the primary s

Baobab: The Superfruit with the Silly Name

Image
It looks and sounds like something out a Dr. Seuss book, but the baobab is as serious as it gets when it comes to health benefits and nutritional bang. Native to the African savannah, the baobab tree is often called “the tree of life” because for centuries locals utilized all of its parts to create food, beverages, medicines, and fibers to weave ropes and mats. But the baobab had become undervalued by Africans who saw it as a famine food, and the fruit was virtually unknown to the rest of the world. “It’s considered a ‘lost crop’ because its value had been lost, but now Africans and Westerners are both rediscovering and re-appreciating the baobab’s health benefits,” explains Luc Maes, a naturopathic doctor and founder of Kaibae, maker of baobab superfoods and beauty products. There is no “fresh” baobab fruit. The football-sized, hard-shelled pods are ripe when they turn brown. Crack them open and the meringue-like fruit powder inside is already dried from the heat of the sun. The po
