The glow on your skin is a reflection of your good health. Your skin and hair speak volumes about your health. If you are a healthy person but emotionally unsatisfied or stressed out about something it will reflect badly on your skin and vice versa. To have healthy skin you would need to balance both your physical health as well as your mental health. It is very easy to get healthy skin and hair. You just need to take care of some very simple and basic day to day things to achieve it and maintain the same. Follow the below mentioned routine for healthy flawless glowing skin:

Start your day with lots of water. You can follow the six glass wonder water therapy. Drink six glasses of water the first thing in the morning when you wake up. Sit in a cross legged position and slowly sip six glasses of water. That would be approximately a little over one liter of water. Then get up and walk around or do your housework but do not exercise immediately. The water will help to flush out the toxins from your body, will cleanse your stomach and intestines and will promote smooth bowel movements.

Next practice Dhyana or meditation for some time. Start with 10 to 15 minutes and then gradually extend the time. Use some music that is specially meant for meditation. This will greatly help to eliminate stress and tension, will boost your concentration, alertness and make you more calm and peaceful.

For your physical health after you finish meditation you can start with yoga. Start with Surya-namaskar or the Sun Salutation, as it is excellent for your entire body and easy to learn. Then gradually move on to other asanas or poses. Learning all the yoga asanas or poses from a qualified teacher will be safe and beneficial. There are a few do’s and don’ts about your eating habits that you need to keep in mind while practicing yoga that are listed below:
  • Eat your food in a calm and pleasant atmosphere. Do not read, watch television or talk while eating. Pay attention to what you are eating, feel the texture and taste of the food and enjoy the flavor. Chew your food thoroughly before you swallow it, do not gulp your food fast and half chewed, as it will cause indigestion.
  • Eat freshly cooked food preferably that is made at home. Consume fresh dark green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, milk, sprouts, whole grain cereals, curd, buttermilk, etc.
  • Completely avoid eating over processed and refined junk foods that are loaded with oil and spice. They increase the free radicals in your body that are very bad for your skin health.
