A few years ago, lip balms that contained mild irritants were all the rage. Plump up your lips instantly! No need for injections!

I had a few, admittedly, but I rarely wore them. I found it hard to concentrate when my lips were on fire.

We say it all the time. That true beauty is only skin deep—meaning that a person can’t be beautiful if he or she is ugly on the inside.

But don’t we also take a rather literal approach to the saying? We buy creams and moisturizers, body sprays and wrinkle reducers, injections and waxes, tinted serums and exfoliators.

Many of us put a lot of time, money and effort into our surface level beauty. There are myriad reasons why, and I think it’s closed-minded to throw a blanket of judgment on people’s personal choices concerning the way they want to present themselves to the world or the products they choose to do so. I feel more confident and comfortable in social settings with a bit of blush and mascara, and I know I’m not alone in that.

In this issue, we took a look at skin care from a health perspective. Is there a safe way to tan? What advice do practitioners have for those wanting to supplement their looks with botox or other injectables? If you’re thinking about expressing yourself through tattoos, how should you prepare for your first visit and what should you look for in an artist? What foods promote healthy, radiant skin?

And as in each issue of Good Health, we strive to promote health and wellness in the community with spotlights on local fitness inspirations, advice from our personal trainer and workout guides to use at home. I hope you enjoy this issue, and any feedback is appreciated. You can reach me by emailing patterson@commercialappeal.com

As the French say, “il faut souffrir pour etre belle.”

One must suffer to be beautiful.

Although this is an old saying, a recent dermatological study has

demonstrated that some people

inadvertently take the concept literally to

meet society’s gold standard of beauty. Worldwide, the number of skin

cancer cases due to tanning has officially

exceeded the number of lung cancer cases

due to smoking, according to a study

released January 29 by JAMA Dermatology.In addition, 419, 254 new skin

cancer cases in the United States can be

attributed to indoor tanning each year, and

6,199 of them are malignant melanoma

cases.

Every hour, someone in the United

States dies from malignant melanoma, the

American Cancer Society estimates. And

those who tan in indoor tanning machines

are 74 percent more likely to develop

melanoma than those who have never

tanned indoors.

Scared? “Good,” says Dr. Kathryn

Schwarzenberger, chair of the new Kaplan-

Amonette Dermatology Department at the

University of Tennessee Health Science

Center.

“As a dermatologist, I hate indoor

tanning because every day I see what I

believe to be are the consequences of

it,” she said. “Some days, it’s just young

women with much more sun damage than

they should have at their ages. But the

most devastating cases are young women who walk in and take off their clothing and I see a skin cancer that I know is going to kill them.”

Before joining UTHSC, Schwarzenberger was professor of medicine in the Division of Dermatology at the University of Vermont College of Medicine. While there, she was among a group of dermatologists who, in 2012, helped pass legislation banning the use of tanning beds by minors in Vermont. Currently, California, Illinois, Nevada, Texas and Vermont ban the use of tanning beds for all minors younger than 18. In Tennessee, minors need parental consent to use tanning beds.

Despite laws and research, the JAMA Dermatology study shows that use of tanning beds among young women and minors is on the rise: 55 percent of university students and 19.3 percent of adolescents reported that they had been exposed to indoor tanning in their lifetime, up from 43.1 percent of university students and 18.3 percent of adolescents the year before.

“I think at this point nobody can successfully argue that there isn’t a link between melanoma and tanning,” Schwarzenberger said. “In 2009, the World Health Organization reclassified indoor tanning as a Class 1 carcinogen, which means that it is known to cause cancer.”

In response to that classification, the International Tanning Association President Dan Humiston noted in a press release that other items in the Class 1 carcinogen category are the actual sun, red wine, beer and salted fish.

“The ITA has always emphasized the importance of moderation when it comes to UV light from either the sun or a tanning bed,” Humiston wrote.

Tom Barzizza, spokesperson for Palm Beach Tan, which has franchise locations

throughout the country, as well as locally

in Memphis, Germantown, Collierville and

Cordova, echoes the moderation message.

“Palm Beach Tan has always advised

our members on the importance of

moderation and responsible tanning

when it comes to UV light from either

the sun or a sun bed,” Barzizza said. “In

addition, in a controlled environment such

as Palm Beach Tan, trained operators

properly maintain UV tanning equipment

and control all tanning exposure times to

minimize a client’s risk of overexposure

and sunburn.”

Palm Beach Tan offers both sunbed

tanning and spray tanning, with sunbed

tanning being the more popular option, Barzizza said. A “cocktail” of using both methods also is gaining in popularity. Per state regulations, the salon requires written parental consent from customers younger than 18 who want to tan in the beds.

“We also feature an industry-first ‘Under 18 Sunless Tanning Membership,’ which is discounted so our under-18

New Department of Dermatology tackles complex skin conditions

The Kaplan-Amonette Department of Dermatology at the University of Tennessee

Health Science Center is working to expand the range of dermatological subspecialty care

available in the Mid-South.

The university partnered with UT Medical Group Inc. to launch the department in

November of 2012, with a focus on the treatment of complex cases and skin conditions

that result from systemic disease.

The department includes an outpatient clinic at 930 Madison Avenue, where a

team of board certified dermatologists specializes in the management of skin disorders

including allergies, dermatitis, lymphomas and infectious diseases. The staff also treats

conditions related to rheumatologic and other medical conditions, such as lupus and

scleroderma. The department has six exam rooms and a procedure room for skin surgery.

Doctors offer topical and systemic therapies, including phototherapy for severe or

resistant cases of psoriasis, refractory atopic dermatitis and eczema, vitiligo, urticaria

pigmentosa and other skin disorders.

customers can enjoy unlimited spray tanning for the price of our most economical sunbed membership,” said Barzizza, who added that less than one-and-a-half percent of Palm Beach Tan’s customers are minors.

Sunless tanning has Schwarzenberger’s blessing, although she says people need to remember that a spray tan doesn’t protect the skin from sun damage.

“It’s not without the risk of complications — some people do have allergic reactions to the chemicals used. But other than that, it’s generally a pretty safe and benign temporary color on your skin,” she said.

“However, in an ideal world we would teach people – particularly young women – to love the skin they’re in. If we could get people to embrace their own natural skin colors, we would all be better.”

Tanning Sunlesstips for the perfect application4

Aesthetician Emily Van Epps, owner of Gia Marina boutique beauty salon, offers the following tips for applying self tanner:1. Don’t be a flake: Start exfoliating several days before

you apply self-tanner. “You always want to be freshly exfoliated all over your body. If your skin starts to flake at all, that will flake off the self-tanner.”

2. Work your way up: Start with your feet, followed by your legs, stomach, chest and arms. This order will prevent creases made by bending over before the self-tanner is dry.

3. Go hands-free: “After I apply self-tanner, I rub my palms together with hand soap – only the palms – and run my hands under the water. That keeps my palms from turning orange.”

4. Shine on: For a subtler, luminous look, Epps mixes a temporary bronzer with lotion and rubs it on her arms and chest. Then, she dusts her face with a mineral bronzer on spots where the sun would naturally hit: over the brows, along the nose and on cheekbones.

Twenty-six thousand pounds. That’s how much an ambulance weighs.

And for physical therapist and amateur strongman Taylor Weglicki, that’s nothing.

Weglicki, a former competitve runner in high school and college, joined the team at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital last September, around the same time that he began to seriously compete in strong man competitions around the country.

What he noticed in the strength community, he said, was the opportunity for more charity events.

“Every 5k, every marathon or half-marathon, they all support a cause,” Weglicki said. “I think the strength community isn’t as ‘on the ball,’ and I’ve been looking for ways to get us involved in the community.”

Weglicki’s idea is to strap teams of competitors to ambulances on April 26 and have them haul the vehicles down a 100-foot course. The event he has planned, in conjunction with the hospital, may seem daunting in theory, but it’s easier in practice, Weglicki assures.

“Four fairly athletic women could pull an ambulance with some speed,” said Weglicki, who has single-handedly pulled a 42,000-pound fire truck six feet. He also recently hauled a Hummer down a 50-foot course in 16 seconds. Rock-climbing shoes help, he said.

“The hardest part is the first steps, but once the vehicle gets rolling, it’s not

bad,” he said. The inaugural

“pulling for a miracle” charity event is open to individuals and teams of two to four. There are no entry fees, but registration contains a fundraising requirement for each team. Proceeds will go to Le Bonheur.

Interested parties

can find more information on Facebook

by typing “pulling for a miracle” into the

search bar. Harnesses and rope assists will

be provided for each team.

And if you’d like to sign up but

aren’t sure you can pull your weight,

Weglicki says he’ll be offering basic

strength and pulling seminars on

Saturdays at NBS Fitness in Cordova.

“If you’ve never pulled anything

before, come to a training seminar and we’ll help you,” said Weglicki. “This is going

to a be a fun event—it’s our first year and

we haven’t done anything like this before—

so I’m just really excited and looking

forward to it.”

emerge from underground

Story by Sara P. Shirley • Photos by Jason Terrell

When Sarah Forbess told her mom that she wanted to become a tattoo

artist, her mother told her she still needed to go to college.

Forbess heeded her mother’s advice, but after obtaining a degree in psychology, she decided that tattooing would offer her more career stability than her degree.

And with the increased number of people who have been getting inked in the last decade, Forbess had a point. She completed an apprenticeship at Underground Art in Midtown Memphis and now works at the studio full time as a tattoo artist and piercer.

The studio, which has several female artists on staff, is certainly not as “underground” as it was when it opened 21 years ago in the Cooper Young neighborhood.

“If I could get away with changing the name, I probably would,” owner Angela Russell said with a laugh.

In a 2007 study on the generation known as “millenials,” about half of the young adults surveyed said they had gotten a tattoo, dyed their hair an untraditional color or had a body piercing in a place other than their ear lobe. The Pew Research Center, which conducted the study, estimates that one in three millenials, who were defined as having been born between 1981 and 1988, have at least one tattoo.

Russell said that while millenials may be leading the boom in body art, they aren’t the only ones coming to her studio for their first tattoos.

“Over the years, it seems like the biggest difference in our customer base has been with age,” Russell said. “Twenty years ago, it used to be mostly pretty young folks who came in, but now we have a diverse age group and people from all sorts of socio-economic backgrounds. We see a lot more upper-middle class people, and people from the suburbs.”

While Russell said she thought it was “pretty great” that tattoos seem less

taboo now, she and other artists in her studio said there are stigmas that still exist in business and public health sectors, as well as in certain social settings.

“A few years ago, you couldn’t give blood for a year after being tattooed,” Russell said. “It was really causing problems, and we wrote letters advocating on the side of people with tattoos, explaining how far we had come in terms of safety and sterility. It was such an old, antiquated rule and that’s changed now.”

Lifeblood, the Memphis region’s only non-profit volunteer blood center, states on its website that donors must currently wait two months after being tattooed to donate.

Workplace dress codes can also cause problems for people with visible tattoos. Russell likened the Starbucks policy of requiring employees to cover any visible tattoos with long sleeves or bandages to a discriminatory practice.

“It’s just crazy, but I think all of this stuff is going to play out,” she said. “In bigger cities, you see tattooed people in all industries.”

Vanessa Waites, a 35-year-old tattoo artist who is married and has a toddler, said that while having tattoos might change some people’s perceptions of her, she doesn’t let it change how she interacts with others.

“As a woman, I think there is

something about being able to claim your

body—to take ownership of yourself—that

is a part of getting tattoos,” said Waites.

“When I was younger, I always hated my

arms; I felt like they were matronly, but

with every new tattoo I got, the more I like

them. How could I not? They are decorated

with the things that I love.”

Waites said she’s tattooed clients with

requests ranging from a chest piece tattoo

for a woman who had undergone a double

mastectomy to other works covering scars

or stretch marks.

“I’ve met so many women who, as

a result of getting tattoos, have become

more comfortable in their own skin,”

Waites said. “And I think that’s really

awesome.”

F-A-Qs

1. Television shows about tattoos are great, and the publicity from them has been fantastic, but they seem to give people the idea that you walk in to a shop, tell your story and walk out with a tattoo. That isn’t how it works. There’s a process involved and you have to be patient.

2. Come in with some sort of understanding of what you want. If you have no barometer, we’ll help steer you, but try to be proactive. Look through artist portfolios and put some thought into what you want to have done.

3. A good tattoo is worth waiting for and worth paying for. In Memphis, you’re likely to find artists who charge from $100 to $150 an hour to complete larger pieces.

4. Don’t come in sunburned, and stay out of the sun, chlorinated water and salt water for at least two weeks after getting tattooed.

5. All Tennessee tattoo shops must be licensed, and they are checked periodically and given scores just like restaurants. When you’re looking for the right studio, I always say to go with your gut. If the shop doesn’t seem clean, then don’t stay. If the artists don’t have examples of their work in a portfolio, go somewhere else.

6. Tattoo artists are human and a printout won’t look the same on you as it looks on a flat sheet of paper.

7. It’s rude to walk up to a stranger and ask them why they have a tattoo or what the meaning behind the tattoo is. For many people, tattoos are very personal. It would be the same as asking a stranger with a visible scar what happened to them. It’s also bad etiquette to ask a stranger how much they paid for a tattoo, the same as it’s rude to ask people you don’t know how much their shoes or clothes cost.

When Hollywood sex symbol Kim Novak appeared on the Oscars

earlier this month, there was an audible social media gasp at the manmade

changes to her face. The tweets were ruthless comparing her face to “Frozen,” the winner of the Best Animated Feature. With Hollywood’s relentless demand for

youth, it’s no wonder that an 81-year-old ex-starlet from the 1950s felt like she needed to overhaul her face, since it was her looks that made her a star in the first place.

While some botched facial surgeries can forever freeze a face in a bizarre look that never goes away, millions find success in less invasive measures such as non-surgical procedures.

“People shouldn’t be trying to look 30 when they are 60 or 80,” said Sarah Carpenter, a registered nurse and co-founder of McDonald Murrmann Skin and Laser.

Carpenter considers herself an artist who tries to create balance on a face. Everything needs to be in proportion to ensure that clients feel better and gain more confidence, she said.

“If someone comes in demanding that I do a procedure that will totally mess up the balance in their face, I won’t do it,” Carpenter said. “They can go places that will do anything you say you want, but this is my reputation. It’s my art. I want that face to be beautiful—not out of proportion because someone thinks they need to have huge lips.”

It’s all about injectablesEven though Botox remains at the

top of the injectable chain, science has advanced in the direction of Hyaluronic Acid injectables. Most people call them fillers. They include Restylane, Juvederm and the hottest new filler Voluma.

None of these products are cheap. Most average around $500 per cubic centimeter (cc). It usually takes at least two ccs to do the job. Fillers soften the face, adding volume to areas of the face, such as above the cheekbone, which in turn gives a little pull to straighten out some crow’s feet and under-eye wrinkles. Botox and Dysport are the only neurotoxins available. They block transmissions from the muscles to the brain, thus preventing the muscles from contracting and forming a wrinkle. Botox only lasts about three months. Its price varies, but the average cost is $200 to $350, depending on how much is used.

Botox can also be used under the arms to prevent sweating. That typically costs around $950 and again only lasts a few months.

Fillers have a cumulative effect that extends the times between visits. People may use fillers every three or four months, but over time they may be able to spread it out to every five or six months.

That’s where Voluma comes in. The new product costs $800 in the Memphis area, and around $1,000 on the west coast. It’s supposed to last more than a year and offer a different kind of contouring that will benefit certain areas of the face.

A new product that will hit the shelves in coming weeks is a cream called Neotensel that is supposed to relieve under-eye bags and wrinkles immediately. The effect only lasts for about 24 hours but it’s perfect if you are going out or headed to a big party. Cost will be $500 a jar.

Most professionals will advise you to do whatever it takes to make you feel confident and happy. The decision to undergo a cosmetic procedure is a personal one, and often, very private.

The best results are the ones no one else notices.

performed in the United States in 2012, according to a study by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. People who were between the ages of 35 to 50 had the most procedures, followed by people between 51 and 64, the study showed. Surgical procedures accounted for a mere 17 percent of the total number but, because of the cost, 61 percent of the $11 billion industry went to those procedures.

Botox still remains the No. 1 injectable treatment for wrinkles. It’s a form of botulinum toxin type A, which is a

neurotransmitter that stops signals from the brain that tell muscles to move. It works for about three months.

The second largest category of cosmetic procedures is injectable line removers and softeners called fillers. The plastic surgery society says 83 percent of the total procedures performed in 2012 were non-surgical. These are big fixes done in minutes in the offices of plastic surgeons, dermatologists and specialists. Some women come on their lunch hour.

But even though those procedures are less invasive, they should still be taken

seriously. That’s why most professionals frown on people who hold Botox parties.

It’s wise for people to seek referrals to professionals who do the best job at creating a better face, but not an unnatural one. If you don’t, sometimes the consequences can be devastating.

Rhonda Boyett wanted to look fresh, relaxed and beautiful—at least, that’s what she told the doctor who handled her treatment. She wanted fuller lips, fewer wrinkles and more lift. The doctor injected as he was instructed. Instead of creating a masterpiece, his work resulted in a horror

story for Boyett.Her lips were so tightly filled that she could barely move

them. A smile was out of the question. Her face looked scary, she said. It was so full of fillers that there was barely any motion.

“It was catastrophic,” she said. “I cried all the time. When I came home with that face my husband said I looked horrible and ugly. I didn’t want people to see me. I sneaked to the grocery store and tried to hide my face, but people stared, not for the reasons I had hoped but because my face looked horrible. I was convinced I would have to live with this for the rest of my life. I didn’t know who to turn to for help. Doctors don’t want to touch someone else’s bad work.”

A friend recommended that Boyett go see Carpenter at McDonald Murrmann. Carpenter agreed to help.

“She (Boyett) was very sweet and it was so sad that someone really messed up her face,” Carpenter said. “I told her that I could

fix her up. She didn’t even want me to take a before picture, which I needed to see the areas that I needed to work on.”

Carpenter got to work, dissolving the filler in Boyett’s lips and finding ways to minimize the filler damage by using small amounts to pull the skin away. After a few months, Boyett found the face she wanted.

“I look beautiful now,” she said. “There’s no better feeling. It makes me happy and confident.”

Many clients come in with unreal expectations that Botox and fillers are going to restore them to their younger days, Carpenter said.

“When you use Botox or a filler, you don’t want people to see that you’ve had a procedure,” Carpenter said. “Comments should be how rested and happy you look. I’ve done a good job if I can make someone beautiful and no one can tell what was done.”

Sometimes Carpenter has to tell customers that she won’t do the work they are asking for.

“I can show them things I can do that will give them the best improvements, but some come in with their minds made up,” Carpenter said. “I tell them I can’t do it. I won’t do it. They can find someone who will do exactly what they ask for, but they don’t realize how one thing they do can affect the rest of the face. They won’t be happy.”

Here are a few dress choices separated into cool and warm categories. If you’ve never considered your skin’s undertone while

shopping, try to incorporate a few colors from your spectrum of the color wheel into your wardrobe. Depending on the results,

you may start buying clothes with an eye for your most complementary colors.

Different colors look better on different people, and a lot of that has to do with undertones in the skin.

The easiest way to figure out your skin’s undertone is to flip over your

wrist and check out your veins. Do they appear more bluish-green or more bluish-purple?

If your answer is bluish-green, you most likely have warm undertones in your skin.

The yellows in your skin allow you to wear earth tones, as well as reds, yellows and oranges, very well. You may also prefer gold jewelry to silver.

But if you look better in silver, and have a bluish-purple tint to your veins, you most likely have cool undertones. Members of the

cool family will shine in metallic colors, as well as in blues, greens, and violets.

That’s not to say that a person who has warm undertones can never wear purple. Knowing your undertone simply helps to explain why some colors look different on your skin than on a hanger.

You don’t have to be a fighter to train like one. Good Health Editor Sara P. Shirley

and team member Sean McQueen headed to the UFC Gym in Germantown on a recent Wednesday night to try a class. The gym is one of two UFC franchises in the Memphis area (the other is in Cordova) and the variety of classes offered reflects the wide range of skills employed by mixed martial arts fighters.

Sean and Sara tried a Daily Ultimate Training (DUT) class, but the gym offers classes in boxing and kickboxing, as well as training in mixed martial arts for kids and adults. Neither Sean nor Sara had taken a DUT class before.

Sara: As soon as I walked in, my eyes were drawn to the Octagon in the back left corner of the facility. People really fight in that ring! In front of the Octagon were rows upon rows of 150-pound punching bags and to the right were various cardio machines. I walked up to the counter, filled out a “guest” form and received a pair of boxing gloves to use during the class. Our instructor for the night, Terry Johnson, helped me wrap up my hands and I was ready to go!

Sean: I’ve done muay thai and jiu-jitsu before, and I thought that this class was pretty hard. We were constantly moving and there weren’t really any breaks.

Sara: We were told that people in the class who have measured the number of calories burned during the hour have come close to 1,000. I believe it. We warmed up with kicks and jumps and skips and lunges and jumping jacks and punches and my heart rate zoomed from beginning to end. The class was

really challenging for me. I had to stop and take breaks quite a bit, but I didn’t feel like quitting at any point.

Sara: After warm ups, the class was divided in half and one group worked on the bags while the other went to stations. We

started on the bags and our instructor, Terry, walked me through the basics. As a means of stress relief, there’s probably nothing as fun as letting it all out on those bags! Other members of the class were rapid-fire punching, and it was both impressive and intimidating.

Here’s what happened:

Sean: Terry kept it fun, and I really felt the burn in my arms and shoulders. Also in my legs, but more in the arms.

Sean: The hardest part of the class, for me, was the “stations” portion. The stations were similar to some of the exercises we did in a CrossFit class a couple months ago. One of the stations used an undulation rope and that was the hardest.

Sara: I had never seen an undulation rope before, and I could barely pick the ends up. We were supposed to make them wave, but my effort caused more of a ripple.

Sean: We also did some exercises with large medicine balls, and after that, everybody headed back to the bags.

Sara: But don’t forget, throughout the class, Terry would send us to the ground to do pushups or hold a plank position or attempt some torturous form of an abdominal crunch. We seriously NEVER stopped. It reminded me a bit of a boot camp fitness class, in that respect.

Sean: The class is all about pushing yourself, and you can go at your own pace or stop when you need to. I do think that it would be helpful to be in some basic sort of shape before you try this class.

Sara: There were more boys than girls in the class, but the gals were only outnumbered by a few. Most of the people working out at the UFC Gym in Germantown—at least when we went—looked like they were in great shape. I think this gym would be great for someone who is willing to work hard to get in the best shape of his or her life. Our classmates were kind to us, and during the workout I didn’t feel like I was in competition with anyone but myself. I think going several times a week would yield fast, apparent results.

Sean: I’d absolutely go back. I thought it was a great workout and the instructor was very active in the class. He kept it high energy, and he made me laugh. It was fun.

The mouth is frequently involved in conditions that affect the skin or other multi-organ diseases.In many instances, the mouth will show signs or symptoms of problems before lesions or

symptoms appear on the skin. Some common medical disorders which have lesions on the skin andin the mouth are pemphigus, shingles, psoriasis, lupus, scleroderma, erythema multiforme, HIV,and lichen planus. Many other medical conditions can also produce lesions in the mouth, includingCrohn’s disease, Sjögren’s Syndrome, diabetes, Addison’s disease, GERD, and anemia. Carefulexamination of the mouth by a dentist may reveal signs and symptoms of an underlying medicalcondition and allow for early diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Mary Aubertin is an Associate Professor in Diagnostic Sciences and Oral Medicine at theUniversity of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Dentistry. She has received advanced

training in general practice, dental care for patients with chronic medical conditions, and geriatric dentistry.

Q: Is it important to monitor your heart rate during workouts? I’ve noticed that when I run, my heart rate stays in the “max” range more than the “target” range for my age. What difference does that make? – Stacey B., Memphis

a: Monitoring your heart rate is a great way to keep track of your fitness. For most people, pushing their body into their max range for heart rate for an extended period of time can be harmful. However, pushing past your max for short burst of time can be a great way to burn fat and get a great calorie burn in a short amount of time. You can accomplish this with interval training. For example, go for 30 sec-onds of exercise in your max range followed by a minute of less-intense

exercise. The important thing to re-member about interval training is that your heart rate should drop into the 130s or 140s before tackling your next intense interval.

If you are able to work out in your max range for an extended period of time and feel like you are not straining yourself, then you should be fine. As important as heart rate is, how you feel during the workout is as good an indicator of your wellbeing.

Q: I’ve heard that working out every day is bad for you. Is this true? – Mike P., Cordova

a: Rest is key for your body and muscles to recover. So working back-to-back days on the same muscle group won’t get you the results you’re

looking for and makes you more prone to injury. Instead, when you’re going to be working out back-to-back days, try to spread muscle groups out over dif-ferent days.

For example, if you work chest out on Monday you should wait until at least Wednesday to work it again. The main thing is that you give your body enough rest, eight hours of sleep a night and at least 48 hours of rest for muscle groups. Your body does a good job of letting you know if you are not getting enough rest, so listen to what your body tells you.

What is progress? It’s moving forward

toward a destination. It’s getting

closer to a goal. It’s that positive feeling of

accomplishment. And it is seen in the smile on

your face and in jeans that fit a little better. I

have felt all of these things.

Now, do you know what “stagnation” is? I

certainly do. That was my past month. It was

a son with whooping cough one week and a

stomach virus the next. It was a tired mom

with the flu and a respiratory infection. It was

a “winter weather alert” that closed schools.

It’s the wall that I’ve hit.

I have written about changing my attitude

and my routine, and my difficulties along the

way. It is hard to be disciplined with working

out and with eating right, especially when you

don’t want to. I get that there are people out

there that love to go to the gym. That adore

the fresh air when they bike 100 miles or run

10. Unfortunately, that’s not me. What do I

most enjoy? I like to read. I like to sit and

watch mind-numbing TV. I like to sleep. No, I

love to sleep! So when life threw me a bunch

of curveballs, the routine that was so difficult

to get myself into was super easy to break.

Now what? The good news is that being

sick allowed me to maintain my weight. I am

not starting over, at least with the number

on the scale. I am, however, struggling to

self-motivate all over again. Life seems easier

when you stop caring about your own well-

being. I know. I have totally been there. I am

kind of stuck there.

I am writing this in a melancholy mood.

We have talked about how health is not just

your body, but your mind, attitude and your

soul. My life consists of a few main goals:

Keeping the kids healthy and happy; Doing well

at my job; Tending to my relationship with my

husband; Making my parents proud. But notice,

there is nothing really about myself in this list.

It is all about someone or something else. I

am not really sure if I know how to change

that. I have been trying, but something as

small as a miniscule

virus can easily knock

me back down.

What is the

answer? Maybe you

other moms out

there know. How

do you implement

these things daily in

your life? How do

you make yourself a

priority? Right now,

it’s a good day if I can

shower alone without

my son beating on the

glass door!

Let’s end on a

positive note. My

weight and body fat

are still the same, and

that could be worse. I

love my life, my kids,

my husband and

my work. I know that tomorrow my attitude

can be different. What I don’t know is how to

do this for me. How do I make healthy living

a part of all the things I love? If you know,

please share your advice with me. “Like” Good

Health on Facebook and send me a message

with #GoAmy. I could use it.

About the author

When you put good stuff in, you tend to get good stuff out. This

is true for so many things in life, such as quality-time in a relationship, whole foods in a meal, and, of particular interest this month, nutrients’ impact on skin health. You’ve probably heard about inflammation in the media or even at your doctor’s office. Inflammation, in short, is when your tissues become irritated and disturbed in some way. In addition to links to several chronic diseases, inflammation and nutrient deficiencies have been connected to skin issues like adult acne, rosacea, and even eczema.

If you’re trying to improve your diet with complexion in mind, here are a few research-based suggestions. Diets high in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and Vitamin D have been associated with reduced inflammation and healthier skin. Start by focusing on getting a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Berries,

particularly blueberries and cranberries, pack a powerful antioxidant punch. Other fruits and veggies to include in your weekly menu are carrots, sweet potatoes, tomatoes (not just the red ones), apples, onions, garlic, and citrus fruits. If you are adding fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet, it’s hard to go wrong.

You don’t want to miss out on the glowing benefits of a diet high in omega-3 fats either. Omega-3 fats have not only been linked to reduced inflammation and beautiful skin, but also have been associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease and depression. So as you’re planning meals make sure to include omega-3-rich foods like salmon, halibut, and fresh tuna. Given that fresh seafood isn’t always that easy to come by in our area, you can add foods fortified with omega-3s like eggs, organic milk, and some juices. Don’t forget to throw some walnuts in your

snack bag for omega-3s on the go. Vitamin D not only plays a critical

role in promoting bone health, immune function and reduced inflammation; studies suggest deficiency is linked to several types of cancers. We still have so much to learn about this powerful nutrient and are realizing that even a well-balanced diet may not provide all we need. As we protect our skin with clothing, by staying indoors, and with sunscreen moisturizers, we also block the absorption of this crucial “sunshine vitamin.” Food sources of vitamin D include wild-caught salmon, catfish, cod liver oil, mushrooms, fortified dairy and eggs.

Remember, quality ingredients inside tend to produce better quality outside. A diet high in whole foods and reduced in processed foods is the way to go for an overall quality diet. If you don’t eat fatty fish and feel you’re not getting enough vitamin D, consider discussing supplementation (omega-3 and/or vitamin D3) with your physician or dietitian.

Eat your way to radiant skinQuote of the month: “A healthy outside starts from the inside.” -Robert Urich

Feed your skin with these three

Omega-3s Think salmon,

halibut and tuna. Throw

some walnuts in your bag for an extra boost

Antioxidants Berries, particularly blueberries and cranberries, pack a powerful antioxidant punch
