Gained a few pounds? Gradually getting unhealthier? These are two of the most common problems that millions of us have to face, but with a little change in your diet and an active lifestyle, you can really make a difference to your body and your health.

Think about your lifestyle. Consider the type of food you eat, and how much of it you eat. Focus on the basics, such as how much fruit you eat, how much water you drink, and why you're not getting enough. Remember to eat a healthy breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, as it keeps you going and fills you up. Try low-fat margarine, spread on a piece of wholemeal bread, a small bowl of cereal, with fruit, and always have a drink of water or a fruit smoothie to wash it down. Choose the right snacks. Instead of munching on cookies, or guzzling down some cola, choose something that will keep you going until your next bigger meal. If you're feeling peckish between lunch or dinner, pick up a piece of fruit or a wholegrain nutrition bar, as this should cure any sudden cravings.

Make sure you eat a balanced dinner! Try to add a few carrots or broccoli. Chicken, veggies, and brown rice make for a perfect, nutritional meal. Make sure to get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. This could be done by walking, jogging or cycling around, or joining a few sports clubs. Dancing is also a great way to lose weight. Make up your own routines and practice them for an hour each day, if you have no other options.

Make a list of all your unhealthy eating habits and try and resolve them one by one. Try the library or a bit of Internet research for help. Surprisingly, cleaning the house is also a good way to lose weight, in which you can burn up hundreds of calories an hour! Drink plenty of water and carry a small bottle with you wherever you go.

Do not starve yourself! You could end up doing serious damage to your internal organs, and it can ultimately result in hospitalization, or even death. Don't overdo the exercise.

Love the smell of gingerbread? Well, here's a scrub that smells so good, it's good enough to eat!

Ingredients:
* Ginger spice (a few pinches)
* Vanilla extract (a few drops)
* Cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice (tsp each.)
* Almond oil (as the moisturizer) - other oils are also suitable, e.g. jojoba oil, apricot kernel oil, safflower oil, olive oil or grape seed oil3/4 cup
* brown sugar (yummy, gentle & nice fragrance) or salt (as the exfoliate) 3/4 cup
* Honey - See above
* Beeswax - Adds constitution to the mix and allows for some interesting fragrances.

Steps:
1. Pour your dry ingredients into a bowl. Add the oil and mix until you have a slushy mixture. (Use a wooden spoon to mix if possible to prevent any possible fragrance reactions with a metal spoon.)
2. Add to your small container.
3. Let it firm a bit overnight. Leave in the refrigerator if you like but make sure you put the lid on to prevent fridge smells from contaminating it.
4. Decorate your container if desired to make it look like one of your make-up products.
5. Massage into your skin and leave on for 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse off and your skin should be left feeling silky and soft.

You can put sesame oil in it. It's really good for the skin. You could also try ginger and avocado - avocado is a soothing and moisturizing. Mash into a paste and keep the pit for massaging.
