Improve complexion

    So I'm working on my new years resolution... get fit and healthy.


    I need help with my complexion and dark circles.


    A bit of background...
      28 year old male. Recently came off a year of regular binge drinking (5 sessions per week 6-8 pints each). Smoking 10 cigarettes a day. Diet is brutal bad. It basically consists entirely of chinese takeaways. Exercise was non existent. I'm tall, skinny and pale. I feel fatigued a good amount of the time.


    So... onto the new years resolution...

      I have started jogging almost every day (I was sporty in my teenage years so it wont be a problem to work through the pain and get fit relatively quickly). I am starting to cook more healthy meals at home which basically is more potatoes and veg. I'm taking a multivitamin and the high strength seven seas cod liver oil. Cut down to one night out a week (6 to 8 pints). Quit smoking. Getting to bed earlier.


    I'm starting to feel better. What else can I do to try to get fit and healthy while gaining about 2 stone.


    Thanks.

    Try to drink 8 glass of water a day (sip through out the day).

    Do weights if you want to put on weight.

    Try to cut down on tea, coffee and minerals.

    How many litres of water per day for someone like me?

    what is bad about tea? I do drink about 8 to 10 cups a day.

    Everyone should drink about 8 glasses of water a day. I think you may need more the days you jog.

    I also think you need to take a closer look at you diet. Eating less take aways is good but it still doesn't mean you are getting all the nutrition you need.

    Were you always pale with dark circles? There could be an underlying medical cause.

    These links might help.
