Face Balance

Wouldn't it be great if everyone's faces were perfectly formed and never changed? Unfortunately there are several things that happen in life that cause the face to change. Have you ever noticed people who drink their fair share of alcohol for years? They can have a bulbous nose, can't they? It is part of the body's process of breaking down. The nose has changed shape and expanded. Years of consuming certain things like medications, processed foods, alcohol and the lack of exercise breaks the entire body down in different areas and ways. Each body part responds differently. Also eating excess amounts of sugar for years breaks the body down. We call this aging.

Pulling on a particular part of the body also stretches that part so it sags or can look distorted. If you only itch one eye continually it will look different from the other. Pulling on the nose, cheeks, neck or any skin stretches it. Our skin especially on the face is delicate and stretches easily. This gives the face an aging look or out of balance look.

There are certain illnesses that cause areas of the face to distort. Shingles can damage the nerves of the face. A stroke can cause certain areas of the face to stop working. How do we fix all of this? First we make a conscious effort to change our habit and think about this. Start off very slowly and think about what you are doing with your hands. Be aware of your fingers rubbing or itching or pulling on your face. When you catch yourself stop and put your hand on the area you were rubbing and lightly pat that area with your finger tips and say to yourself " stop, no more rubbing!" three times. Continue this until you have completely stopped the problem. That time table will be different for each individual.

Secondly you need to think about what you are putting in your body. To love your body enough to want to feed it what keeps it not only working properly but staying or bringing back your youthfulness and health. You are what you eat!

One way to rid your body of the toxicity that builds up because of feeding it wrong is exercise. Every movement of the face and body is made by your muscle. The muscles of the face and neck are the same as the rest of the body. The best form of exercise for this part is face aerobics. Where you sit down and continuously exercise in a class with men and women to music. Like any exercise for the body you will notice your face becoming balanced and more youthful. Exercising is critical to life. You use it or lose it. It is just that simple.
