HEALTH & WELLNESS Feeling Good, Looking Good, Doing“Good” By Sara Starkoff-Green In our vanity obsessed society, men and women are constantly searching for ways to fight aging,lose weight and improve their overall appearance.Finally, however, it seems that the goal of looking better is being coupled with becoming healthier. For decades, men and women were engaging in treatments, procedures, surgeries and the like without considering the long-term consequences. Looking great was far more important than feeling great and many people would compromise their health for the sake of beauty. For example, after worshipping the sun for many years, and then utilizing the invention of tanning beds without restraint, many of these individuals are suffering the long-term repercussions of severe sun damage often leading to skin cancer. We are bombarded with beauty magazines and commercials all of which equate youth to beauty. It is only recently that large, successful, beauty product companies, such as Dove, are working to change the way society in general views and interprets beauty. After launching a print and media campaign using real women of all ages and sizes as models, Dove has helped to redefine the true meaning of natural beauty…beauty that can be found in people of all ages, sizes and colors. However, this “real” interpretation of beauty is still more the exception than the rule when it comes to media and publicity.Thankfully, the overall idea of beauty seems to be gaining a greater tie-in with health and wellbeing. It has been proven that there is a true relationship between feeling good, looking good and doing “good”, i.e., what is best for the environment. For instance, biking as a means of transportation improves overall health, which in turn improves the physique and benefits the environment. It’s a win-win situation. …Dove has helped to redefine the true meaning of natural beauty…beauty that can be found in people of all ages, sizes and colors. According to Christina Byrnes, owner of Florida Relaxing Massage, herbal detoxifying wraps have the same effect. “By detoxifying the body through the use of herbal detox wraps, clients are reaping benefits in a multitude of ways.” Detoxifying the body improves overall circulation, providing countless health benefits such as increased energy and mental clarity. It also tones and tightens the skin, providing a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Lastly, the ingredients contained in the herbal detox wraps include only organic and natural products, thus benefiting Mother Earth as well. So, while society continues to struggle with the ideal definition of beauty and the acceptance that aging is in fact one of the only certainties in this lifetime, there is solace in knowing that we can feel good, look good and do “good” simultaneously. Rather than trying to defy the inevitable process of passing time, embrace the challenge of finding practices to live a healthier, more enjoyable and earth-friendly existence and you will surely exude an undeniable beauty inside and out. 24 SEPTEMBER 2008 Sara Starkoff Green, a freelance writer from Boca Raton, is owner of Impressive Occasions, a special events company and Sara Green Consulting, a PR and marketing firm for wellness related companies.
