Problem: Article: Part of getting a nicer and healthier body may be to lose or gain some weight.  Being at a healthy weight will help you look great, but also make sure that you're a healthy person.  If you're either underweight or overweight you're at increased risk for a variety of health issues.  Underweight individuals are at increased risk for infection, osteoporosis and other nutrient deficiencies, hair loss and loss of lean muscle mass.  On the other end of the spectrum, being overweight can lead to increased risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.  To find out how many calories you need each day, input your height, age and gender into an online calorie calculator.  This will give you an idea of how much you should be eating daily. If you want to lose weight, try subtracting 500 calories from your total calorie goal.  This generally results in a 1-2 pound weight loss each week.  If you're interested in gaining some weight, try adding in about 250 calories to your total goal.  You'll generally gain about 0.5-1 pounds per week. When you're trying to lose weight and improve the health of your body, it's important to focus on consuming a well-balanced and nutritious diet.  A well balanced diet is one which contains foods from all 5 food groups most days.  In addition, you should eat a wide variety of foods from within each food group as well - this helps with the overall variety of your diet. When you consume a well-balanced diet you will most likely consume adequate amounts of each nutrient that you need each day.  It also reduces your risk for any possible nutrient deficiencies. Also follow appropriate portion sizes of each food and include the right amount of servings daily. Include a serving of protein foods at each meal, 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day and 2-3 servings of whole grains daily.  One serving of protein is 3-4 oz, 1/2 cup of fruit, 1 cup of vegetables or 2 cups of leafy greens, 1/2 cup or 1 oz of grains. When you're trying to eat healthier to support a nicer body, try to choose more nutrient dense foods.  These types of foods will help support any weight loss but also support a healthy body.  Nutrient dense foods are those that are relatively low in calories, but very high in nutrients.  They could contain a lot of fiber, vitamins, minerals or antioxidants. Examples of nutrient dense foods include:  berries, dark leafy greens, tomatoes, sweet potatoes or yams, lean proteins, legumes and nuts. In regards to fruits and vegetables, those that are darkly colored or more saturated in color are generally higher in nutrients.  For example, spinach is much more nutrient dense (and darker in color) compared to iceberg lettuce. Try to limit higher fat, higher calorie processed foods.  These foods may cause you to eat too many calories or consume fewer nutrients than you need each day.  Although not all processed foods are considered unhealthy, many contain higher amounts of fat, sugar, sodium and overall calories.  When you eat many of these foods you'll increase your risk for weight gain.  Stay away or limit processed foods like:  pastries, candy, desserts, fried foods, processed meats, frozen meals, chips and crackers. In addition, foods that are overly processed and made from white flour have recently been associated with increased acne flare ups.  If you want to maintain a clear face and body from acne, limit these foods. It's very important to drink adequate fluids everyday.  It can help maintain your hydration status and help you lose weight.   Most health professionals recommend consuming at least 8 glasses of water daily, but even up to 13.  It'll depend on how active you are in addition to your age and gender. Drinking water has also been associated with more controlled hunger and a decreased desire to eat or snack.  This may help you stick to your weight loss plan.  Stick to clear, no calorie fluids.  These will be the most hydrating.  You can try:  water, flavored water, black decaf coffee or unsweetened tea.
Summary: Monitor calories. Eat a balanced diet. Go for nutrient dense foods. Limit processed foods. Drink adequate fluids.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It is important to apply your blush in a well-lit location, otherwise you might underestimate how much you've applied. Natural light is best, however a well-lit bathroom or a lighted make-up mirror will do just fine. Your blush should only be applied after primer and foundation. The primer helps to neutralize any redness and will keep your make-up looking fresh for longer, while the foundation evens out skin tone, providing a flawless finish. Although traditional blush application involves applying blush only to the apples of the cheeks, this advice does not work for everyone. Instead, you should take the shape of your face into account when you apply blush:   Round faces: To slim a round face, apply blush to your cheekbones (which you can find by sucking your cheeks in like a fish) and blend outwards and upwards towards the temple.  Long faces: To soften a long face, apply blush slightly below the apples of your cheeks (the roundest parts) but don't extend the blush any further.  Heart-shaped faces: To balance heart-shaped faces, apply blush beneath the apples of the cheeks and taper off towards the hairline.  Square faces: To soften a square-shaped face, apply the blush straight across your cheeks, beginning about an inch away from either side of your nose.  Oval faces: Oval faces can get away with just applying blush on the apples of their cheeks, and blending well around the edges. To find the apples of your cheeks, just smile! The technique you use to apply your blush will vary according to the type of blush and application tool you're using.   Powder blush: To apply powder blush, lightly pound the brush into the powder, then tap the handle to remove any excess. Use a swirling motion to lightly apply the powder to your cheeks,  Cream blush: To apply cream blush, dab your flat-bottomed brush or fingers into the blush and lightly apply to the areas of your cheeks you wish to color. Then use a swirling motion to blend in the cream, working from the outside towards the center of your cheeks.  Liquid or gel: Use your fingers to apply two dots (no more) of the liquid or gel high on your cheek bones, then use your ring finger or a synthetic sponge to work the product into your cheeks using a dabbing motion. Most people are afraid of going overboard with their blush, so they tend to apply too little.  However, you want your blush to be somewhat obvious - it shouldn't just blend into your skin like foundation. Just keep in mind that it's easier to add more blush than it is to take it away. Therefore, you should apply your blush little by little, adding additional layers until the color is just a shade or two past what you think looks natural. If you accidentally apply too much, use a dry washcloth to buff away any excess color. To finish the look, get your hands on a translucent powder with a slight sheen.  Use a small brush to apply a little of the powder beneath the outer corners of your eyes, then use a swirling motion to blend it into the top edge of the blush. This will highlight your cheekbones and help the blush to appear more natural. Some people are confused about the difference between blush and bronzer and how each of them should be used.  Blush is used to add a pop of color and life to your cheeks, mimicking a natural blush, whereas bronzer is used to give a healthy, sun-kissed glow to the entire face. To apply bronzer, use a powder brush to sweep a light layer over all the areas of the face that the sun would naturally touch - the forehead, the cheeks, the chin and the bridge of the nose.
Summary:
Choose a well-lit location. Apply your primer and foundation first. Apply blush to suit your face shape. Use the right technique. Know how much blush to apply. Finish with a layer of translucent powder. Understand the difference between blush and bronzer. Finished.
