Beauty Tips |

The
modern lifestyle consumes a lot of body energy, and
the natural body processes are unable to produce enough
energy to keep us going. Factors like eating too much
of fast food, not eating enough natural foods, over-indulgence,
using too many medicines, drugs, lack of proper exercise,
excess anxiety and pollution etc. further weaken our
energy. Thus the vital power of the body which maintains
the beauty, luster and glow, will be affected and reduced
in the body. This has to be prevented and supplemented
in a natural way, wherever possible.
