how many pills of fish oil do you take daily? and do you freeze them before taking it? because I heard that it prevents a person from having that fishy odor.

[Ichigo100%]

Well it definitely helps to clean out your pores and flush you out internally, but I don't eat fish oil pills anymore.. I haven't done so in years so i couldn't give you an honest answer..

But while I was taking them, I didn't freeze them at all, just took em the way they were, drank a nice glass of water and I was fine.. Perhaps Headcoat can provide more info

[m1sterko]

the names slipping my mind but what are those plastic sheets that people use to dab their face and it collects oil?

i believe clean&clear has them.. but not sure what theyre called.

[Ichigo100%]

Facial wipes? I believe that's what they're called..

[myms]

I think they're called oil blotting paper.

Although this may come off as disgusting to some, I tend to eat sardines a lot..They're very rich in omega 3 fatty acids which maintain a healthy heart... It also helps to control blood sugar level and helps to prevent Alzheimer's disease..

I drink 3-5 bottles of water a day on average with the occasional 6 in there if necessary..

i dont even eat that shit for medicinal or health purposes. i fuckin like sardines and anchovies. i still take the canned shits to bbq parties. open the top and throw it on the grill (while in the can). shit cooks in the oils/can. eat when crispy.

anyway i do coke and smoke alot, so i drink vitamin c and chocola bb every night.

i use kanebo skin wash, shiseido whitening lotion, and some various oil removing pads throughout the day. i go to a chiropractor once a week, get a massage once a week, and get a foot massage at least once a month.

[ROYALEFATALE]

i drink 32 ounces of water every 2 hours while i'm awake, i'm not sure what that equates to during the day, but i think it's alot, sort of a routine i've gotten into

[Guest doubletap]

odwalla b-monster, superfood, or oxi-dance

no processed food, I also dont eat mammal or bird, except for eggs & dairy

red wine

lots of fresh fruit.

[Ichigo100%]

Wow, these are all excellent ways to keeping healthy.. I'm noticing that a lot of people are using fish oil pills and are into sardines..

I personally love sardines as well, as i mentioned earlier.. I used to eat them a lot when I was a child.. Jmatsu, do you ever add any sort of seasonings to your sardines when you put them on the grill? I tend to just chop up onions into small peices and place them on top of the sardine while cooking to give it a very nice smelling aroma.. Then I add sliced tomatoes and sometimes if im feeling hungry I'll make some rice and mix the sardines in with it.

Perhaps I'll look into shiseido products..

Isnt canned fish usually high in sodium?

[Ichigo100%]

It's said not to eat canned food often.. Canned tuna for example has high sodium and also contain mercury. A lot of the sodium is in the broth so just drain it and do what you will with the fish after.. That's what i've realized..

Tuna only has 210mg of sodium per serving which is about 9% of your daily intake.. Sardines have just a bit more with 280mg which is 12% of your daily intake.. But if you look at the positive side, sardines carry 20g of protein per serving, 5g of omega 3 and 3g of omega 6 both which are good for your brain and heart..

So don't worry so much about the sodium, the pros outweigh the cons a lot still..

i bought this facewash at an asian market, and am quite fond of it. it's composed of many earthy, less-abrasive elements -- and makes your face feel great after using it during a hot shower.

dior homme skin care range. get that shit in your life

[cernunnos]

are sardines so much better than, say, tuna? i like tuna, but don't usually eat sardines.

i reckon, that there is much less fat in tuna. am i right?

Health wise sardines are much better than tuna in terms of their benefits.. Tuna does in fact have less fat than sardines.. Tuna has 0.2g of fat per serving whereas sardines have way more but provide more nutrients..

Sardines also provide more protein, but personally I would eat both. So I wouldn't say sardines are better all together, but in terms of essential nutrients, sardines provide more by far imo

[cheeseball321]

I usually buy these omega3 things that are like 'chews'. Like this:

They're good.

[Ichigo100%]

I'm looking into this Shiseido brand for men.. Seems like a nice change from the nivea products that I often use. I find that nivea products contain some weird chemicals whereas shiseido uses more natural botanicals. For those who use shiseido, are the mens products good for all types of skin?

Also, anybody use ZIRH at all? I know Shiseido used to own them recently but sold them to some company which I cant remember off the top of my head right now.. How are their products?

kiehls. ftw.

for health, everyday i take:

multivitamin

rhodiola

branch-chain amino acids

creatine

fish oil

flax-seed oil

green tea extract

[Boredom]

Fish oil is great shit, my mom used to give them to me when I was younger.. Really great for the skin, keeps it looking firm and luminous. I haven't used them in a long time though, I guess because lately I've been in school and havent had much of an opportunity to really do much searching for organic products..

This is unrelated to what I was just talking about but I know lips are important too.. After brushing i tend to massage my lips with the bristles to remove any dead skin then i apply vaseline to conceal the moisture.. I find this works extremely well and I don't have dry lips as much as I used to

this works hella well.

Rhodiola is the absolute balls. Great stuff, natural stimulant/antidepressant.

Almost on the life-changing tip.

[m1sterko]

is creatine safe? supposedly theres no "bad effects" to it but it all seems kinda funky to me...

seeing all the meatheads at the gym is scary when they start talking on and on about creatine and how bomb ass it is.

[kunk75]

creatine is safe. it's like all the juicers who used to say they were taking andro only.

it has been proven safe.

[alexryb]

Retin-A is the nectar of the gods.

Multivitamin (x2 a day) w/o iodine (it promotes acne).

[Guest youkinorn]

Walk, run, or bike everywhere that I can.

Lots of sleep.

Coffee, tea, and water in place of carbonated drinks as much as possible.

Except beer, you need plenty of beer.

And pizza.

Lean meats.

Avoid the bitchassness.

Play basketball (and watch basketball).

Brush teeth lots and wash face twice a day. Olay oil free lotion + spf 15 sunblock.

Smoke as little as possible.

[Ichigo100%]

I cant remember where I read this but, how you sleep can also help attribute to healthy looking skin..Such as sleeping on the sides of your face isn't good for facial bone structure.. Not too entirely sure about this though..

Avoid eating foods that increase your blood sugar level rapidly before bed, because it interferes with your growth hormone production, which can reduce your anti aging hormones..
