April is Alcohol Awareness Month

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has declared April Alcohol Awareness Month.
 
Most health and fitness professionals agree that a higher level of alcohol consumption is the kryptonite for a good health and fitness program. It can actually reverse your efforts, due to its negative effect on muscle growth. However, many nutritionists agree a glass or two of red wine per week is great for the heart. Moderation is key to any part of a healthy lifestyle, and if you do choose an alcoholic beverage, try one with added health benefits, like red wine.

Health Tip of the Month: Don't Forget Your Skin!

Renee Rouleau
,
skin care expert and esthetician to the stars,  has some great tips to beat summer skin care damage:

Don't Neglect Your Skin: Did you know that most skin aging occurs during the summer? Consistent application of sun protection, regular professional facials, and a good home skin care routine are your best defenses against fun in the sun...and heat.

Wearing Sunscreen Every Day Will Significantly Cut Back on Accumulative Sun Damage: Recent information from the UCLA skin research department indicates that 78% of all the sun damage incurred in a lifetime is from incidental exposure! You may say "I'm not out at all during the day" but just walking to your car, and even driving in your car will expose you to unnecessary sun damage. Windshields do nothing to protect you from UV rays! Wear a moisturizer that contains a sun block with a minimum of SPF #15.
