Think Clean Green Skin Care



Introduction



Let’s accept the fact: many of us are skin conscious. As much as possible, we wanted to
have a fresh, good looking skin. However, many of us failed to recognize that simple
steps are the best ways to attain it. We just tend to ignore what is actually right or wrong
for our skin. We tend to buy some beauty products that just worsen whatever skin
imperfections we have as it turns out in the end. So, now is the time for change. We
must do something to beat up all those bothering skin conditions we have.

Think GREEN

Today, there is what many dermatologists call as “Spring”. In Chinese medicine, spring
is the season when the liver cleanses and heals naturally by way of driving out the
dangerous toxins that were accumulated in the body through the refined foods that we
eat. Many experts suggest green foods, including chlorella, as they are said to be
excellent for the liver. Note that green foods refer to those green leafy veggies such as
spinach, kale, dandelion greens and broccoli. These foods are what many people
consider as the “especially wonderful foods”. Now, for a healthy and beautiful skin,
have them cooked, raw, juiced and even cultured.

Why Family QoL is important?

QoL of family caregivers is closely related to the QoL of patient 
Families may experience major impact on their lives e.g. physical and mental exhaustion, social disruption, marital problems, and financial implications
Efforts to improve patient’s QoL should also address the QoL of family.
It should be analysed independently and additionally to QoL of the patient.
In some specialties family QoL is considered an important outcome of services and policies.
