17 facts and myths about great skin

http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-07-22/beauty/30275843_1_skin-type-facts-and-myths-hair

By increasing blood flow, exercise helps nourish skin cells and keep them vital. "Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to working cells throughout the body, including the skin," says dermatologist Ellen Marmur, MD, author of Simple Skin Beauty: Every Woman's Guide to a Lifetime of Healthy, Gorgeous Skin and associate professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. In addition to providing oxygen, blood flow also helps carry away waste products, including free radicals, from working cells. Contrary to some claims, exercise doesn't detoxify the skin. The job of neutralizing toxins belongs mostly to the  liver. "But by increasing blood flow, a bout of exercise helps flush cellular debris out of the system," Marmur tells WebMD. "You can think of it as cleansing your skin from the inside."

Exercise has also been shown to ease stress. "And by decreasing stress, some conditions that can be exacerbated by stress can show some improvement," says Brian B. Adams, MD, associate professor and director of the Sports Dermatology Clinic at the University of Cincinnati. Conditions that can improve when stress is reduced include acne and  eczema. Although researchers are still investigating the link between stress and skin, studies show that the sebaceous glands, which produce oil in the skin, are influenced by stress hormones.

I thought of starting this blog post after the following experience. Like how a suggestion from a friend helped me, I wish that this blog post including the comments would be of value to people. Most of the following isn't related to improving facial skin quality (do see the comments below for skin related updates):

Hi All,

I'd like to thank Ms. Shweta Pratap Singh to consent for the interview with the Health and Fitness India network. Our Q&A are as follows:

1. Why did you decide to enter the fitness industry?

I've been inclined towards fitness & good health from a very young age. Whilst in school I was actively involved in various sports. I've always been a firm believer of the age old belief that your Body is a temple so you ought to respect it like one. It was this passion of mine for fitness & well being that eventually led me towards taking on fitness as a full fledged career...

2. What are your specialties as a fitness professional?

My specialties as a fitness instructor are : I'm a certified Personal trainer and Aerobics Instructor with the following specialties :

(a) Step and Floor Aerobics
(b) Pilates
(c) Power Yoga
(d) Kick Boxing
(e) Circuit Training

I am also a licensed Zumba Fitness Instructor having done several specialty training's such as Zumba Toning, Zumbatomic and currently enrolled for Aqua Zumba as well.

3. What's a great piece of advise that you've given to a client?

Most of the clients I have come across in my career span are usually people who are looking for a quick fix solution for weight loss due to a big event such as a wedding etc. However my advice to them is always that there is no shortcut nor substitute for fitness as a whole and it has to be a part of one's daily life so that one can lead a genuinely healthy and hence rewarding life.

I also advise my female clients that weight training is really important for them as well because most of them think that weight training is the sole domain of men and if they were to do it, they would really bulge up and look manly. Nothing could be further from truth as correct weight training can help women also in a big way as it increases bone density thereby preventing osteoporosis in old age and corrects the metabolic rate as well and thus helps in reduction of weight much faster.

4. Can you please share any major mistakes that fitness professionals make?

Basically every human is designed differently and therefore as a a responsible fitness trainer, one cannot treat all clients in the same manner. Also, its very critical to check a clients past/ present medical history - a fact that is generally overlooked by instructors. The fitness trainer has to design a fitness programme that is commensurate with the clients individual health and fitness levels, their body type and lifestyle.

5. Where do you see yourself professionally in the next five and ten years from now?

Five years down the line I visualise myself as having traveled round the world learning different forms of fitness and exercise including specialised martial arts such as Krav Maga etc. and add onto my certifications in various specialties. By the tenth year i want to be firmly established in the field of fitness having increased my reach to maximum number of people by having established my own signature fitness centres.

Shot put is an athletic field event. It is well familiar in the Olympics and about every nation contributes in the occasion. Nations take a lot of pleasure in the Olympics. Just like every other athletic events, shot put also involves 3 places for winners. Gold for First place, Silver for second place and Bronze for third place. There are rules keep up for the shot put as well. The shot should be made of iron or brass, it should weigh about 7.26 kgs for men and its width should range between 110 to 130 millimeters. The woman's shot on the other hand consider about 4 kgs and its diameter is about 95 to 110 millimeters.

Competitors can touch the inside of the circle's rim or stop board but cannot touch the top of the rim or stop board while attempting a throw. There is a throwing circle and the shot put should not touch the external area of the throwing circle. The athlete cannot leave the circle while the throw is in progress as well. There is a general misconstruction that shot put is a game involving strength and brute force. The method is more difficult than what it sounds and the athlete performing the art is usually more exactly capable.

Techniques:

1. Always warm up before you get involved in practice sessions or a real happening. Warming up allows you to avoid injuries and give your best show. Muscle pulls and strains and even muscle tears are the regular injuries that can take place when warming up is neglected.

2. As you begin your throw, keep in mind to stand towards the back of the circle with the shot maintain at the back of your neck. This allows you to balance the shot's weight as well as keep away from over stepping the line whereas you throw.

Hi All,

I'd like to thank Dr. Chirag Sethi, Managing Director of Classic Fitness Group www.classicfitnessgroup.com, to consent for the interview with the Health and Fitness India network. Our Q&A are as follows:

1. Why did you decide to enter the fitness industry?

Fitness was always my passion so I thought of opting my passion as my profession. Having a master's degree in sports physiotherapy helped me alot to understand the basics clearly. Seeing the ongoing trend of obesity in India I hope I could make a difference.

2. What are your specialities as a fitness professional?

I hold a master degree in sports physiotherapy, I have done various international certifications from ACE / ACSM / NCSF.

My specialities are sports conditioning, kettlebell, TRX and BOSU ball workouts for whole body conditioning.

3. What's a great piece of advise that you've given to a client?

I always believe in chosing the right amount of exercise with correct technique. If the technique is wrong and we lift heavy we will only have injuries.

Good nutrition and right exercises are a key for a healthy body.

4. Can you please share any major mistakes that fitness professionals make?

The major mistake fitness professionals do is they make all the clients do the same workout. We have to understand every client is different and their goals are different.
One form of exercise will always not benefit all clients.

5. Where do you see yourself professionally in the next five and ten years from now?

5 years from now I would like to see me educating more and more people in India and spreading my network of training academies all over India which will provide training to all the aspiring professionals.
