Body|Weight|Exercise

There are several factors that contribute to a beautiful, healthy body.  Much of how we view our body is our state of mind.  Even models have some part of their body that they would like to change.  Most of how we look is genetic--blame or praise our parents.  Having said that, at the end of day, we have just what we need to make us the unique, special, individual that we are.  Learn to accept the flaws that you can not change--even love them.  Barbara Striesand would never have a nose job.  

Elizabeth Taylor would never shave those eyebrows.  Monique, Beyonce, and Neicey Nash embrace their curvy bodies, and they all look fantastic!

At Embellir, we suggest that you avoid fad diets and punishing stomach crunches.  Take the sensible approach and eat healthy, exercise regularly, keep a positive attitude, love others, and take advantage of all the wonderful products out there that can help you to maintain weight, have great hair and skin, and avoid common illnesses.  Be sure to try the exotic body treatments of scrubs, baths, wraps, heat, and massage.  The right products can be very effective in maintaining a healthy body.

We hope the following information provided below will encourage you, inform you, and get you to take responsibility for the way you look.  One cosmetics mogul said that she had never met an ugly woman, only a lazy one.  At Embellir, we feel the same.  We are all beautiful! Just be sure that you treat your body with the respect that it deserves in order for the beauty within to be revealed outward.  

Use our "pure nutrition inside & outside" products to assist your efforts.  A toned-healthy body, healthy hair, glowing skin, healthy nails, and a kind heart contribute greatly to a beautiful persona.

Weight Loss Tips--Weighing In
A Sane Word About Weight

Sorry, There Are No Magic Potions
We are excited to know that you are becoming interested in a more natural approach to staying healthy.  More and more people are finding out that not only are mainstream products riddled with harmful chemicals---they oftentimes do not work.  When there is a choice, you should choose natural over synthetic.  We are not advocating not seeing your doctor regularly; however, we are strongly suggesting that you practice preventive care to eliminate the need for numerous trips to the doctor and the taking of numerous prescription and over-the-counter medications.

Avoid all extreme diets.  The one true way to lose weight is to watch what you eat and exercise regularly.  Be sure to check with your doctor before starting any kind of special diet or exercise routine.

As you begin or continue your goal for perfect health, the questions that you should always consider are…
Is my body free of viruses?
Is my body free of bacterial infections?
Is my body free of candida and other fungi?
Is my body free of parasites (worms)?
Is my body free of allergic reactions?
