Tips To Prevent Excessive Sweating...

* Yoga is one of the most natural ways to control excessive sweating.
   Yoga calms down the nerves and subsequently lessens sweat production.
* Hydration keeps body temperatures low and thus, less sweat will

   be produced. Water effectively flushes out excess minerals and pushes

   out all toxins and waste products.
* Stress and nervousness triggers the sweat glands and hence those
   who suffer from excessive sweating should lower their stress levels.
* Caffeine tends to cause anxiety, which in return triggers the body
   to excessive sweating.
* Deodorants cause more bacteria to build up on the skin, which
   end up setting foul odour. That's why it's important to choose a
   deodorant or soap that suits your body.
* Instead of having hot tea and coffee, go for fresh juices, lemonade
   or iced-beverages to regulate your body temperature, which will
   prevent excessive sweating.

Michelle Williams is Working to Reduce Barriers to Exercise for Single Moms

As I got my hair cut on Friday, I paged through the February 2011 issue of Marie Claire Magazine. As a major "Dawson's Creek" fan in the 90s, I am always excited to read about the old cast. What a pleasure to read the interview with February's cover girl- Michelle Williams.

As always, she was asked the question about how she coped with the death of her ex-fiance Heath Ledger. This time she spoke about the practice of yoga and how it helped her work through the grief.

The interview introduced us to a project which Michelle helped create called The "Yoga for Single Moms"Project. The project pilot is in Boston and seeks to effectively address key barriers to exercise for single mothers:

1. Expense (of a gym or yoga studio)

2. Childcare

3. Social Support

Michelle tells the magazine, "The idea behind the program is that if you can clear the time, we do the rest. It provides childcare while the mum is in the yoga class, and it's all free."

I'll be watching to see how they evaluate the program and how/if it rolls out nationally. But it appears to be off to a good start as it goes beyond simply educating women about exercise and telling them that they should. The program seeks to work for a single mom's environment, schedule, and unique challenges. Great job Michelle.
