如何才能夠安全的使用跑步機

現在跑步機是很普通的一件東西，很多人想要鍛煉身體所以會在家裏買一臺跑步機，但是保健品到小編提醒大家我們一定要安全地使用跑步機，一定要做好護理保健，不要讓自己出現危險，那麼如何才能夠安全使用跑步機呢!

　　運動意外傷害，這件防不勝防的事最近又帶給我們一條令人難過的消息。Facebook營運總監桑德伯格的丈夫因在跑步上不慎跌倒，頭部受重創身亡。

　　一份來自美國聯邦消費產品委員會的數據顯示，每年有大約5萬人因使用跑步機、健身球啞鈴等運動器材而受傷，其中由跑步機引起的損傷比例占了絕大多數，有數千人會因此走進醫院急診室，其中，最常見的損傷是在跑步機上不慎摔倒。

　　你真的會安全地使用跑步機嗎?不是會使用，而是安全地使用。如果你有在跑步機上跑步的習慣，以下八個建議趕快收好，culturelle 香港也能買到，康萃樂主要採用的益生菌菌種為鼠李糖乳桿菌，它是目前研究最多的益生菌，對人體健康很有好處。雖然culturelle是美國品牌，但在香港也能夠買到，兒童益生菌很受香港人歡迎，它能夠呵護孩子的腸胃健康提升孩子的免疫力。

　　要穿對，跑步的衣服還有什麼穿不對的嗎?跑步機上的服裝和戶外跑可是有所不同的哦。在戶外你可能會穿防風衣之類比較寬鬆的衣服，但是在跑步機上最好穿貼身的，以免衣服掛到機器上引發事故。

　　要“安檢”，使用跑步機的第一步不是設置模式和時間，而是要給跑步機做“安檢”。檢查它的放置知否穩定，臺面是否乾燥、沒有異物，扶手是否乾燥。只有確定這些才能保證你不被滑倒和絆倒。

　　要夾好，夾什麼?衣服啦。跑步機上配有緊急制動夾，如果有，就把夾片夾在衣服上，萬一摔倒，夾子會帶動制動片從安全端口拔出，這時跑步機會緊急停止運行，就可以避免被轉送帶拖拽了。

　　要熱身，在跑步機上跑步也需要熱身，這和你在戶外跑步沒有什麼區別，拉伸腰部和腿部肌肉及韌帶，活動膝關節、踝關節，常規的熱身動作都必不可少。

　　要專心，跑步時就一心一意地跑，最多聽聽音樂，看看正前方電子螢幕上的節目，這些動作和活動已經足夠身體負荷了，就不要再玩手機、和同伴聊天了，也不要左顧右盼、突然扭頭。專心專心專心，重要的事情說三遍，選擇有效的手癬藥膏醫治，當選普利膚軟膏！手癬發作多因搔抓組、體、股癬傳染而來，如有外傷更是常見的誘因。其實手癬和足癬是很相似的，相同處是都以紅色毛癬菌為主，不同的是足癬多為雙側累及，手癬則多見兩側受累。

　　要減速，如果你設定的速度比較快，那麼在喝水、更換手機音樂、調整衣服時就需要適當減速，必要時要暫停，等這些動作結束後再恢復原來的速度。這些“小插曲”也就10幾秒20幾秒的樣子，幾乎對你的成績沒有什麼影響。

　　要慢下，結束訓練時最好讓自己的心率下降到每分鐘120下以下再按停止鍵。下跑步機的的時候一定要等臺面完全停穩，很多事故都是在運動結束時發生的。

　　上面幾點就是保頻道小編為大家的如何安全地使用跑步機，告訴大家跑步速度不要過快，不然的話可能會導致危險問題出現，同時一定要專心，不要分心，只有專心專意的跑步才能夠有好的減肥效果，最後祝願大家都能夠健康瘦身，養和醫院做激光嬌視最為靠譜，位於旺角的養和 激光 矯 視清晰眼科全科及手術中心都可以選擇，能夠為患者提供專業可靠的眼科服務。且硬性條件過關，擁有符合標準的無菌眼科手術室，在這接受眼科檢查可以得到最全面最專業的治療。

不同膚質用不同的補水方法

膚質：幹性肌膚

　　幹性肌膚缺水的原因是因為肌膚缺乏鎖水的能力，肌膚含水量低導致肌膚細胞因缺水而破損，尤其是到了乾燥的秋冬季節，受外界來說，除了補充肌膚表面的水分之外，更重要的是從肌膚深層改善自我保水能力,生日開心時刻，唔想好友做「最上鏡毛毛小姐」手毛盡露?!立即為好友送上 dermes「上唇+腋下」激光脫毛體驗*。完成免費dermes 脫毛體驗。

　　補水保濕方法：

　　幹性膚質水分容易流失，護理肌膚時要很注意保濕，更要注重鎖水，可是使用質感柔潤、含有天然植物成分的保濕產品，有效促進皮脂分泌，防止水分流失。

　　保濕精華對深層保濕很有效，提升肌膚水分保濕度的同時，還能為肌膚長效鎖水。相反，若肌膚在日間較易泛油光，則可以在晚上才使用，讓肌膚在夜間睡眠時來加強吸收的效果。

　　膚質：混合性肌膚

　　T區較油，其餘部位較幹，這屬於混合性肌膚。混合性肌膚內部底層，經常會產生脂質層及油脂，再加上內在與外在因素，導致肌膚油水分泌失衡，使面部肌膚油脂不均，某一地方油，某一地方幹。

　　補水保濕方法：

　　平時要以質地清爽溫和的保濕產品為主，最好選擇乳液質地的，這樣能為肌膚補充充足的養分與水分。適當的選擇控油產品，之後再用保濕啫喱面霜，加強水分補充，利用天然植物的消炎及保濕成分，可穩定混合性肌膚回復水油平衡的狀態,一直對reenex hydrafacial好有興趣，今日同小花去一試reenex效果。成日返工都化妝，皮膚積咗大量污穢，又無時間做深層清潔，皮膚愈來愈污糟～reenex HydraFacial可以做皮膚嘅吸塵機幫我吸乾淨，再導入110種人體生長因子，皮膚更加健康～。

　　膚質：油性肌膚

　　油性肌膚要做好控油保濕工作。因為皮膚本來是處於油水平衡的狀態，水分少而導致油脂分泌過多，所以保濕工作能讓肌膚中的油水含量達到平衡，從而亦有效調節過量的油脂分泌。

　　補水保濕方法：

　　清潔是首要工作，選用溫和型潔面產品，但是潔面的次數不宜過多，護膚品則使用不含油脂保濕啫喱。為了幫助油性肌膚的油水平衡達至正常，平時的護理不僅要減少分泌過剩的油脂，更需要從肌膚內部改善，喚起肌膚本身的調理均衡能力。

夏天必做的美白方法

炎熱的夏季如約來到我們身邊，我們也都換上了清涼的夏裝，在這個露腿露臂的季節，白皙已然成為最美的風景線。於是追求美白是每個女孩迫不及待的事情，誰都想成為男生眼中的白富美!但是如何美白也是大夥所煩惱的。今天小編就來和大家聊聊：夏天必做的美白方法。讓你在這個夏季美白一夏,講起膠原，reenex膠原自生其實可以話係呢方面嘅專家。其實坊間有話水同膠原缺一不可，但其實只要肌底pump滿膠原BB，水份同外塗護膚品嘅營養就自然可以lock住。

　　老廢的角質會使肌膚的毛孔堵塞，造成肌膚無法透氣。所以我們要定期的去角質哦。去角質死皮後，肌膚會變得有光澤。然後在沖洗後及時塗抹上修復的保濕面霜，就不會泛紅乾燥了。頻率大約一週一到兩次就可以了。

　　夏天的紫外線強，我們所對抗的就是塗抹防曬霜和佩戴防曬工具。說起塗防曬霜，它的用量其實很重要，如果不夠量的話，再高的SPF都會變小。所以哦，如果拿不准用量的親，可以找一把小茶匙，擠滿半茶匙才算夠哦。

　　夏天因過多的皮脂而膚色暗沉的油性肌膚女性要增加白天的洗臉次數。尤其在溫度最高的時候用冷水洗臉的話肌膚溫度會下降，幫助遏止皮脂生成和毛孔鬆弛。洗臉後使用打底精華來供給水分，同時使用油分較少的滋晶美白防護乳霜。為了防止臉上堆積廢物，儘量要做簡單的彩妝。

　　夏天熱氣容易出現在臉部，因此在臉上容易發生肌膚問題，通過泡澡減少臉部的熱氣而增加身體的熱氣。在十分鐘泡澡的同時泵取五次的打底精華做潤致面膜。用水洗臉後再次塗抹打底精華，幫助恢復氣血的正常迴圈，締造健康光亮的肌膚。

　　夏天因油光的T區苦惱的混合性肌膚女性應該要改變第一階段的護理方式。洗臉後將沾有打底精華的化妝棉在鼻子部位放十分鐘後，塗抹調理皮脂的精華露。打底精華減少T區的過多皮脂，幫助保持水油均衡的肌膚。使用粉底時，在臉頰使用霜型粉底、在鼻子周圍使用啞光粉底後利用散粉控制皮脂。通過此方法，可以完成乾淨的妝容. 做得reenex facial當然想要效果。好多人問究竟reenex 效果好唔好? 最近我就試了reenex膠原自生facial。Reenex價錢同坊間差不多，所以今次我會重點分析下reenex的技術、專業性同效果。技術同專業性reenex都有保證，效果…。

　　別以為只有身體要做運動，其實臉部都要哦。平時除了給肌膚做基本的護理護膚以外，還可以為肌膚來做運動哦。每天晚上塗抹護膚品的時候，用比較大塊的卸妝麼沾濕爽膚水，然後輕輕地拍打肌膚大概50次，這樣不僅能促進血液迴圈，還能肌膚細胞的活力，堅持下去的話，還會使肌膚比之前更有光澤。這樣的運動比按摩造成的刺激相對小一點哦。

　　石榴、綠茶、咖啡豆等，它們都是有著抗氧化成分的護膚成分哦。很多皮膚專家們都建議，應該使用含有這些成分的抗氧化護膚品，這樣能幫助肌膚做好對抗自由基傷害的準備。在使用防曬霜之前先用抗氧化的護膚品，這樣就能萬無一失了。

　　當肌膚曬傷後，可拿用冰鎮過的面膜敷10-20分鐘，但如果發紅的面積較大，則可以用紗布或是化妝棉浸泡在冰水中，包裹發紅的部位，於達到冰鎮的作用。除此之外，也可用精華液等護膚品，用溫和的化妝水或潤膚露來保濕即可,講起膠原，reenex其實可以話係呢方面嘅專家。其實坊間有話水同膠原缺一不可，但其實只要肌底pump滿膠原BB，水份同外塗護膚品嘅營養就自然可以lock住。

　　綜上所述，上面為我們介紹了夏季美白的一些小常識，可能MM們會說了，不就是去角質、防曬、飲用抗氧化成分的飲料嗎?我們平時就是這樣做的，但是卻不見什麼效果呀?別急，我們再來仔細分析一下，你做的方法是否正確，比如塗抹防曬乳、精華露的方法和時間是否正確，同時你是否適時地為肌膚做運動了等。我想信你一定能找到答案的。

the progress of aging will slow

The Years Take Their Toll

As we age, our blood no longer circulates as quickly or as well, and our skin dehydrates; the production of collagen slows and our skin becomes less elastic. Years of exposure to the sun and harsh elements helps create lines, wrinkles, spots, and broken blood vessels; hormones production decreases with time and skin becomes thinner and duller, and pores enlarge. The pull of gravity causes aging skin to droop around the mouth and eyes, and the chin begins to sag. We produce fewer melanocytes as we grow older, which means our skin pigmentation changes, and skin color fades or becomes blotchy. Our bodies become less flexible and we become stiff and less active.

Start Anti Aging Treatments from the Inside

A balanced diet helps us receive the nutrition necessary for good health, which is reflected in thicker, shinier hair, clearer, healthier skin, and increased energy, all of which helps us look and feel younger. Choose foods from all the food groups to ensure that you are receiving at least minimum amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals necessary for good health. We have an increased need for particular nutritional elements as we age and at various stages in life, and when we have specific health concerns. We also know that soil in which fruits and vegetables are grown is often depleted in nutrients, and more nutrients are lost in food processing, handling, and cooking. Fortunately, this doesn't mean you have to find a plot of land and grow your own produce, nor do you have to chew your way through raw food every day, and, yes, you can treat yourself to fast food and processed food now and then. The solution is to take anti aging supplements.

Your primary anti aging supplement should be a multivitamin, and you can add individual supplements as needed. Choose a multivitamin formulation suitable for your age and sex that includes an antioxidant or two, such as vitamins C and E, to protect your skin and vital organs from free radicals. B vitamins are important for healthy hair, skin, and gums; calcium and magnesium protect against osteoporosis; and vitamin A against cancer, stroke, and heart disease. Since collagen is the cellular glue in the fibers that support the outer layer of skin, as well as the main protein in bones, cartilage and connective tissue, adding a collagen supplement makes a lot of sense, too. For best results, take your supplements with meals as they work synergistically with other nutrients.

Don't forget the importance of water. Drink it - lots of it - at least eight glasses a day.

Exercise is one of the most important elements in your arsenal of daily anti aging treatments. Get out of that chair, tear yourself away from the television set and start moving. Walking is an easy and beneficial form of exercise, and doesn't require any special clothing or equipment. Go for it!

Cleanse and Moisturize Skin with Anti Aging Skin Care Products

Anti aging skin care products include cleansers and exfoliates that will help keep your skin scrupulously clean. Gently remove your eye makeup and then your face makeup with an oil-based cream or milk lotion before washing your face. Forget the harsh soaps and cleansers and the hot water. Use lukewarm water on your face and pat your skin dry rather than rub it. For extra-deep cleansing, use an exfoliate or a cleansing mask weekly, or if your skin is very sensitive, monthly.

After cleansing, use a toner or a skin firming product and then apply a moisturizer of which there are two types. One is the group of humecants such as glycerin, sorbitol, lactic acid, and urea, which attract and hold moisture; the other is the family of emollients such as petroleum jelly, lanolin, and mineral oil that form barriers to seal in moisture. Both are effective, and you will have to experiment to discover which type you prefer and works best for you. Use a light, easily absorbed moisturizer during the day, and apply a heavier moisturizer at night.

You can find cleansers, toners, and moisturizers designed for oily, dry, and combination skin. Over-active oil glands can cause acne to erupt at various ages, and your skin will become drier with age. Select skin care products suitable for your skin type.

As well as a toner and the essential moisturizer, you can find anti aging products designed specifically to lighten age spots, to protect the tender skin under the eyes, to treat dry lips, and to manage acne and blemishes. If you would like to reduce wrinkles, alpha hydroxy acids and Retin A are the modern miracle treatments and they can be prescribed by your doctor.

Whatever cleansing, moisturizing, or problem-solving skincare products you use, if you forget your sunscreen, it is all a waste of money and effort. Skin has no greater enemy than the sun - protect it well from those harmful rays. Use a sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 15, and slap it on summer and winter, on sunny days and under heavy cloud cover. Those damaging rays can reach right through the clouds and find your unprotected skin. Don't forget to put sunscreen on your lips, too.

Choose Anti Aging Products When Buying Makeup

People use makeup to enhance their best features and to conceal flaws, such as blemishes and scars. If you wear makeup, choose products compatible with your anti aging treatments. There are cosmetics designed for people with blonde, brunette, red, or gray hair, and skin tones that range from very pale to black. Many are created specifically for oily, dry, and combination skin. Read labels and shop carefully to receive the benefits of these particular anti aging treatments. Their use will help you look younger and help protect your skin. There is makeup for long-term use and for emergency fix-ups. It is wonderful to have products on hand that will conceal under-eye dark circles or puffiness, as well as pimples and broken capillaries when these misfortunes strike.

necessarily all rouge and roses

I’ve worked very hard at maintaining my role as a good husband and father of eight-month-old twins. I wash dishes, change diapers, and most importantly, try to maintain some form of communication with my wife. Sometimes the topics for discussion are not my favorite, but I honestly do try and resist the urge to start singing a random tune over and over in my head HIFU.

Recently, however, I’ve had to draw the “line” on one subject in particular—makeup and cosmetics. The topic is inevitable. It constantly arises due to the fact that my wife is always applying some form of cosmetics as I drive to our destinations. Honestly, I had no clue that cosmetics had so many facets and points of interest, but still … do I really need this information?

There’s usually a complete course on her current choice of lip liner. Obviously, the thickness of said liner is of great importance. She will inevitably hold the liner about 2 inches from my right eye (in my direct line of vision of the road) to ask, “Can you tell the difference in this new one? Clearly it’s better than that other one I had last week. This new one has great definition and contrast.” Usually at this point I am repeating her words, “definition and contrast.” Are we still talking about lip liner? It sounds like she could be admiring the work of a Renoir or Botticelli.

Then there’s the “shimmer factor” in her makeup selection and application. This is the one that I always have trouble with. My wife is a beautiful woman with big blue eyes. Is she supposed to shimmer? If so, how much shimmer is too much? I have noticed that most of her shimmer questions are about lip gloss, which, as I understand, goes over the lipstick, between the lines of the previously discussed lip liner. Seriously, this one always stumps me. Gloss, to me, would indicate a great deal of shimmer, much like a piece of furniture with a high gloss finish. But to my wife, there is a certain “gloss” line that, if crossed, ruins all previous lip applications reenex.

Somewhere during this intricate process, mascara will inevitably be contemplated. The clumping factor, the longevity, the waterproof-ness, the application tool, the method of containment, and again, the definition and contrast.

It never fails to amaze me that among all of these factors, price is never mentioned. Price, the first thing that a man would consider and the factor that often dictates his decision, is of no relevance at all. In fact, if I ever inquire about the price of a really good mascara, I am usually told, “Priceless.” This is followed by a lesson of the new mascara’s incredible ability to do what last week’s mascara couldn’t possibly do. The new mascara has answered all of her cosmetic prayers. Funny how in a couple of weeks the industry will introduce another miracle that her lovely lashes cannot live without. Priceless reenex.

Plus-size models trending in China

A plus-size figure is no longer a barrier for people aspiring to become models but an advantage sometimes.

Now in China, plus-size modeling has become an emerging career opportunity, which is led by the introduction of Western fashion trends, along with the rise of China’s online shopping and people’s needs for foreign trade clothing travel jobs.

With a weight over 154 pounds and a height of more than 1.65 meters, those people who are aged below 25 meet the basic requirements of a plus-size model.

Some media reports suggest the top plus-size models can earn as much as 2,000 yuan (around US$292) per hour, and their monthly income could easily surpass 70,000 yuan.

"Currently the industry is mainly composed of university students, majoring in English, architecture, foreign trade, music, art and even diplomacy. Many of them are taking this part-time job as a way to earn tuition fees, “said Huang Fei, an agent of plus-size models Polar M600.

Huang says she has hired over 40 male and female models, from places including Zhejiang, Shanxi and Henan provinces; some are even from foreign countries like Germany, Mexico, Brazil, and Russia.

"This job offers a new world to those ’big’ girls, which encourages them to regain confidence and to live a healthy, happy and beautiful life," said Huang

Asleep At The Wheel: Shutting Down

Shutting Down

Nate Pickett, a 23-year-old insulation sales rep, had just finished lunch and was leaving Tooele, Utah, in his small pickup truck, headed for his next job. It was about 2 p.m., and he was driving on a long stretch of highway when his head began to bob and his eyelids grew heavy and started to close Neo skin lab.

Pickett frequently drove while drowsy. He was married, working full-time and attending school part-time. He and his co-workers joked about the times when they had caught themselves falling asleep at the wheel. But that day in October 2004, Pickett was unusually sleepy and decided to pull off at the next exit and nap. What Pickett didn't realize is that although parts of his brain were relatively alert, other parts were already shutting down. Sleep had crept up on him.

Before Pickett reached the off ramp, he dozed off and drifted to the right. He was jolted awake only when his tires thumped along the rumble strips on the edge of the highway. Adrenaline pumping, he was suddenly alert and careening off the road at 70 miles an hour. Pickett stomped the brake and swung the steering wheel first left, then right, trying to regain control bull market.

"It was too late," he recalls. "The cab of my truck was just thrown to the ground." Strapped in by his seat belt, he held the steering wheel tightly while his truck rolled five times down an embankment. "All I could hear was smashing metal and breaking glass Hong Kong itinerary."

Factors that can Influence Your Skin Type

Normal skin type

Normal skin is smooth, finely-textured, soft and supple. If you are lucky enough to possess this skin type chef jobs in hong kong, treasure it by using light cleansers and lotions and mild toners and fresheners.

Dry skin type

Dry skin is usually thin and delicate and often flaky and prone to fine lines. It sometimes feels tighter than it should. Extremely rich and greasy creams are not good for it because they strangulate the pores, often enlarging them and so creating an extra problem. Use light oils and lotions for moisturising and choose herbal toners, which are mild and not too astringent. Try to restore the pH or acid-alkali balance with the application of such things as cucumber juice or diluted vinegar so that the sebaceous glands are encouraged to function.

Generally speaking, the emollient and hydrating herbs (chamomile, comfrey, cowslip, elderflower, fennel, marshmallow, orange blossom, rose, violet) are the best to use in lotions and toners for dry skin. But there is no hard and fast rule. Astringent herbs can be good for dry skins, for example, if blended with emollient herbs or oils and gels, and many herbs are suitable for all skin types. If the skin is sensitive as well as dry, see the notes on sensitive skin below.

Oily skin type

Oily skin is shiny and coarser-textured, often with enlarged pores. It is prone to blackheads and spots. Don't use alcohol to reduce the oiliness of the skin, as it will only worsen the problem. Many herbal toners are suitable for reducing oiliness and tightening the pores (see list of suitable herbs below). Egg-white makes a nice mild face-mask. Don't over dry the skin; moisturise with a light lotion. Aim to restore your skin's acid-alkali balance so that the sebaceous glands cease to produce such large amounts of oil aviation engineering.

Astringent and cleansing herbs are generally the best to choose when treating an oily skin. These are: cinquefoil, clary sage, comfrey, cucumber, dandelion, horsetail, houseleek, hyssop, lavender, lemon balm, lemongrass, lemon verbena, marigold, mint, parsley, sage, witch hazel and yarrow. But don't forget that many herbs are suited to all skin types and that many of the strengthening and anti-inflammatory herbs (chamomile, cowslip, fennel, lettuce, elderflower, orange blossom, rose, violet) are suitable for oily skins.

Combination skin types

The person with this skin type will have to follow two beauty routines, one for the dry areas, and another for the oily. I think the oily areas balance up more easily in this type of skin than when the whole face is oily, so don't despair.

Sensitive skin type

This skin is usually fine-textured and often prone to reddish veins and patches. Keep to light oils and lotions for cleansing and moisturising, and mild herbal toners and compresses to soothe the skin and reduce redness and veins. It is usually wise for people with sensitive skins to stay away from the stimulating herbs (lavender, lime flower, mint, nettle, sage, southernwood, summer savory, thyme).

Dull skin

Dull skin has lost the bloom of vitality and the soft glow of renewal. It looks matt and lifeless. Its acid balance has slipped. If it is oily or large-pored skin use diluted cider vinegar or lemon juice, or cucumber juice to balance it. If it is dry skin, use buttermilk or cucumber juice.

Mature skin type

Older skin can be toned and softened and restored to much of its former beauty. The skin is a wonderfully regenerating organ, given encouragement. Use a light hand with makeup if you must use it, as this dries and ages the skin.

Other Factors that can influence you skin

The foundation of a healthy beautiful skin is diet. Are you getting sufficient polyunsaturated fats? These are essential to a healthy skin and do not cause facial oiliness. They are found in cereal grains, nuts and cold pressed nut and vegetable oils.

Plenty of vitamin C is fundamental to a beautiful skin, because it builds collagen and elastin, the bonding and structural substances which give tone and resilience. There is no need to resort to tablets. Eat bean sprouts, green and red peppers, black currants, oranges and lemons. Then there are guavas and rosehips, so your diet need not be restricted or dull. There is infinite variety to suit every palate.

Lack of vitamin A can cause dryness of the skin. Eat dandelion, parsley, watercress, carrots, pumpkins, celeriac.

If your skin is unbalanced, either flaky or too oily, or if your lips peel, then check your intake of vitamin B foods. Oats, years, bran, goat's milk, whole rice, sunflower seeds, sprouted seeds and grains are some of the sources.
