    Pimples could be because of toxic substances accumulated in the body apart from stress.

    Early morning start your day with warm
    Water.two glasses and have a banana after that.Then resume coffee.

    Apart from banana,soak black grapes with saffron and have it.Actually helps in
    Regulating hormones and also PMS.Also,you can have some
    Soaked almonds.

    After that resume coffee.

    A healthy gut is needed for clearer skin.So be more Mindful of what you eat.

    Thirdly change the oils you use.Go more for cold pressed oils.

    All the above is simple and will help a lot for clear skin.

    Also,with weight loss all you need to do in the beginning is..reduce a little bit of food amount for each usual meal which you usually consume everyday.
    You will surely notice a change in your weight.then you can follow other routines.

    Hope it helps.Try it and see

    It is a bit weird, but now I don't feel old, actually I am pretty determined to feel younger. I strongly believe age is a mental thing than physical. I was introspecting a few days back about what changed from now to 20 yrs back, - actually not much has changed in the last 14-15 years. I had pretty much the same challenges, the only difference was in how I reacted - till 5 years back, I would just move on, nowadays I am not able to. I have entered that phase of self-doubt again. When one has decided mentally to retire, nothing can stop them from going down, that is where I did a mistake, one should plan for long term, not short term. I feel like I am running out of steam. A few things have happened in the recent past that have slowed me down. I am trying to get up, but I feel so lost.

    Primary issue is Health after this age and perhaps health of our elder family members/parents in india etc. The main thing (health of 40+ person) seems to be good, then not much to worry.
    And yes 18-25 folks may call you anika aunty, but thats just life progression. There will be a time when they call us paatti too.

    At every grand milestone in one's own aging, people have to stop and wonder if there is some grand truth they had divined, because of that additional 10 years of "whatever" that had gone by.

    Here is someone else's revelation in a Venn Diagram....:

    My mom got super-irritated when the Amazon delivery guy called her Paati. For some reason she got even more annoyed when I pointed out that she is actually a Paati.....
