<u><b>7 Habits That Guarantee Weight Lose</b></u><br />
Making little changes can make a big difference<br />Weight control is all about making small changes that you can live with forever. As you incorporate these minor adjustments into your lifestyle, you'll begin to see how they can add up to big calorie savings and weight loss.<br />
Here are <u>7 Habits That Guarantee Weight Lose </u>to help you turn your dream of weight loss into a reality:<br /><br /><i><b>1. Evaluate your eating habits. </b></i><br />Are you eating late at night, nibbling while cooking, finishing the kids' meals? Take a look around, and it will be easy to identify a few behaviors you can change that will add up to big calorie savings.<br /><br /><b><i>2. Be consistent</i></b><br />What ever be the exercise regime you take up to support your weight loss plans- swimming, running, yoga or squash, be consistent with it. This will take a lot of will power and some co-operation from your loved ones. But, being consistent with your weight loss workout regime will do you good in the long run. Vary the kind of workout you do every few months or weeks, but do not skip sessions except for on rest days. <br /><br /><i><b>3. Eat on time</b></i><br />By now, you already know a lot about what you should eat to support weight loss. It is just as important to eat on time. Eat your meals at regular intervals- whether it is six small meals a day or three big ones; do no skip any. Skipping meals or eating irregularly can lead to many other health complications like bloating and acidity, apart from sabotaging your weight loss plans. Tip: Keep yourself hydrated, so that you do not go on a binge.<br /><br /><i><b>4. Always shop with a full belly. </b></i><br />It's a recipe for disaster to go into the grocery store when you are hungry. Shop from a prepared list so impulse buying is kept to a minimum. Eating right starts with stocking healthy food in your pantry and refrigerator<br /><br /><i><b>5. Sleep well</b></i><br />Sleep well and sleep right. Your body needs to recover and regenerate itself after a long working day. You need to give it enough time for that. Seven-eight hours of sleep every night is essential. Sleeping lesser or more could lead to accumulation of fat. So make sure you get enough rest.<br /><br /><i><b>6. Do not skip your breakfast</b></i><br />Some of you may think skipping breakfast can save the calories, but in a way it can make you feel hungrier and encourage you to snack more throughout the day. Eating breakfast will help you burn your calories all day, instead of causing fluctuations in your metabolism rate, which in turn can aid in weight loss.<br /><br /><i><b>7. Strike a balance</b></i><br />Remember: When planning for weight loss, It pays to be patient. You are not going to lose weight overnight. So don't be discouraged and don't punish your body if you don't see instant results. Starving yourself or putting in overtime at the gym is never the answer. It will only lead to exhaustion, fatigue and will eventually lower your immunity. In fact, you will benefit a lot if you take breaks in between your routine workouts. And occasionally, treating yourself to a piece of chocolate or a slice of pizza will not do any harm to your weight loss plans<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-70752300671460646172015-06-23T13:28:00.002-07:002015-06-23T13:28:40.546-07:009 Food To Help Lose Weight Fast<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><u>9 Food To Help Lose Weight Fast</u></b><br />
Certain foods can help you shed body weight because they help you feel full longer and help curb cravings.<br />Some even kick up your metabolism. So take list of <i>9 Food To Help Lose Weight Fast</i> when you go to the supermarket:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>1. Potatoes</i></b><br />"Many people still think that because potatoes have a high glycemic index they will induce cravings and weight gain, but research shows this isn't the case," says Joy Dubost, PhD, RD, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. In fact, potatoes ranked number one on the famous satiety index, which was published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 1995. During the low-carb years, they fell out of favor, but lately there's been a renewed interest in studying their effect on diet and weight loss. After all, even though a potato is carb-heavy, it is a vegetable—one medium spud contains 168 calories with 5 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber. Some experts argue that they are particularly satisfying because of they contain resistant starch<br /><br /><b><i>2. Beans</i></b><br />Inexpensive, filling, and versatile, beans are a great source of protein. Beans are also high in fiber and slow to digest. That means you feel full longer, which may stop you from eating more.<br /><br /><i><b>3. Hemp hearts</b></i><br />Also known as shelled hemp seeds, these have only recently made their way into mainstream grocery stores. Hemp—a relative of marijuana—is perfectly legal, and packs more protein than chia or flax, in addition to fiber. Since it contains a complete essential amino acid profile and is rich in essential fatty acids (EFAs) such as omega-3, it's a great option for vegans who want to add more staying power to their meals.<br /><br /><b><i>4. Apples</i></b><br />Skip the apple juice and the applesauce and opt instead for a crunchy apple. Whole fruit blunts appetite in a way that fruit juices and sauces don’t.<br />One reason is that raw fruit has more fiber. Plus, chewing sends signals to your brain that you’ve eaten something substantial.<br /><br /><b><i>5. Yogurt</i></b><br />Whether you prefer Greek or traditional, yogurt can be good for your waistline.<br />A Harvard study followed more than 120,000 people for a decade or longer. Yogurt, of all the foods that were tracked, was most closely linked to weight loss.<br />That doesn't prove that yogurt caused weight loss, but it stood out among other foods.<br /><br /><b><i>6. Lemons</i></b><br />Add the juice and pulp of this citrus fruit to pump up the flavor of everything from your ice water to salads, smoothies, and cooked fish, for almost no calories, recommends Koff. In addition to making the food taste better, the pectin fiber in this citrus fruit may help you fight off hunger cravings. "Lemons are also an alkaline-forming food that helps promote an optimal pH in the intestines," she explains, which some say can help with digestion and aid in weight loss, though these claims have not yet been proven with scientific research.<br /><br /><b><i>7. Dark Chocolate</i></b><br />Want to enjoy chocolate between meals? Pick a square or two of dark over the milky version. In one study, chocolate lovers who were given dark chocolate ate 15% less pizza a few hours later than those who had eaten milk chocolate<br /><br /><b><i>8. Eggs and Sausage</i></b><br />A protein-rich breakfast may help you resist snack attacks throughout the day.<br />In a study of a group of obese young women, those who started the day with 35 grams of protein -- that’s probably way more than you’re eating -- felt fuller right away. The women ate a 350-calorie breakfast that included eggs and a beef sausage patty. The effect of the high-protein breakfast seemed to last into the evening, when the women munched less on fatty, sugary goods than the women who had cereal for breakfast.<br />
<b><i>9. Avocado</i></b><br />Just thinking about rich, creamy avocado is satisfying. Yes, it's high in fat—but the good kind. Its plant-based fatty acids have anti-inflammatory benefits, which can help ease arthritis and lower risk of heart disease. Plus, half an avocado packs 7 grams of fiber. In a study published in Nutrition Journal, researchers found that adding half an avocado to lunch increased subjects' satisfaction by 26% and reduced their desire to eat by 40% for 3 hours.<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-91722182576033319892015-06-22T10:00:00.000-07:002015-06-22T10:00:01.937-07:0010 Tips Guaranteed to Lose Weight Fast <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u><b>10 Tips Guaranteed to Lose Weight Fast :</b></u><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u>
<b><i>1. Decide how much weight you need to lose</i></b><br />
Most people start their weight loss journey by claiming to be xyz kilos overweight. This isn't a healthy way to project or aim for weight loss. Calculate your desired weight against your height by using reliable methods like the BMI, and set a healthy weight loss target. This is often half the battle won.<br />
<br />
<i><b>2. Put away the (food) scale</b></i><br />
Portion control isn't about measuring; it's about ordering two appetizers instead of an entrée and cutting back on bread if you have pasta.<br />
<br />
<i><b>3. Stock your kitchen</b></i><br />
Keep your house well-stocked with fruits, vegetables, healthy meats, grains, cereals, spices, and flavourers. Follow our tricks to healthy cooking, cooking vegetables for the week, and low-fat cooking posts to understand how best you can stock your kitchen with healthy and delicious ingredients. All of this will go into helping the next step - cooking healthy meals at home.<br />
<br />
<i><b>4. Eat healthy homecooked meals</b></i><br />
Whether it's you who's cooking, a family member, or house help, ensure that every one practises healthy cooking methods, and ingredients. Ask any person who's lost weight the healthy way, and you will always hear about how healthy homecooked meals were a big reason behind it. Use less oil, low salt, fresh produce, and you'll start seeing results in no time.<br />
<br />
<i><b>5. Kick the salt habit</b></i><br />
Salt is a big contributor to weight gain and often a reason why the numbers on the scale aren't going down.leading to weight gain, bloating, and the inability to lose stubborn pounds. Salt can also make you feel hungrier and thirstier, so check the nutrition labels for high sodium levels and choose fresh over packaged or restaurant foods. You'll see a puffy face and belly go down quickly just by cutting back on your sodium intake and choosing more natural foods<br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b>6. Start a cardio + weights workout</b></i><br />
A healthy weight loss programme is incomplete without a good exercise routine, and weight training mixed with cardio is the best way to lose weight. Of course, variations and forms exist, but any workout that stresses on muscle tone and increased heart rate will always help you lose weight and keep it off. You can either start a home workout today, or rely on gyms for fitness training.<br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b>7. Eat right post-workout</b></i><br />
People are notorious for overestimating how many calories they burn during physical activity, which is often far less than actual calories burned. When you overestimate the calories you burn during exercise, you may eat more than you need, making weight loss and maintenance difficult. High-intensity exercise may drive to eat more, and moderate exercise may be the key to easier weight control.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Sleep away weight gain</b><br />
Make a point of turning in earlier and you’ll see weight loss within a week. Recent research from the University of Pennsylvania found even just a few nights of sleep deprivation can lead to almost immediate weight gain. Scientists asked participants to sleep about 10 hours a night for two days, followed by five nights of sleep restriction and four nights of recovery. After the 11 days, the sleep-deprived group gained almost 3 pounds, compared with a well-rested control group.<br />
<br />
<b><i>9. Find a solution to combat stress</i></b><br />
As we pointed out in our post about stress and weight loss, stress is always detrimental to healthy weight loss in the long run. Find ways to combat stress and you'll soon realise that your diet and exercise aren't sabotaged anymore, and that you truly do see results. Look at yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or simple hobbies like reading to fight stress.<br />
<br />
<b><i>10. Drink plenty of water</i></b><br />
You've known that your body relies heavily on water for all important bodily functions, and yet you skimp on drinking adequate quantities of water every day. Well, it's time to stop that. Check out some exciting ways to make water interesting and you'll be packing it away in no time. Do not forget to carry a water bottle to your workout, and take a few sips after every 2-3 minutes of exercise.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-82623730177715004232015-06-21T10:00:00.000-07:002015-06-21T10:00:00.768-07:00How to Avoid Thinning Hair With Best Foods<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u>How to Avoid Thinning Hair With Best Foods</u><br />
On the other end, there are certain foods that make your hair healthy and strong. Hair like other tissue is largely made up of protein.<br />
<br />
Here <u>How to Avoid Thinning Hair With Best Foods:</u><br />
<br />
<b><i>1. Salmon </i></b><br />
This fish is loaded with the strong hair supporters like Vitamin D and protein, but it also contains omega-3 fatty acids that promote hair growth by keeping your scalp healthy<br />
<br />
<b><i>2. Eggs</i></b><br />
Eggs are rich in biotin, a B vitamin essential for hair growth and overall scalp health. People ask about biotin for hair health all the time — usually, they've heard about it on a shampoo commercial or read a magazine article that recommended biotin supplements. Because our bodies make their own biotin in the intestines, and it is plentiful in many common foods, deficiency is very rare. But in those few cases in which people are very ill and don't have use of their intestines, biotin deficiency causes hair loss. So yes, biotin is important for hair health, but you don't need to take supplements. Just eat a balanced diet that includes some high-biotin foods: eggs, peanuts, almonds, wheat bran, salmon, avocados, and low-fat cheese.<br />
<br />
<b><i>3. Pumpkin seeds</i></b><br />
One ounce of whole, roasted pumpkin seeds (about a ½ cup) supplies 19% of your daily requirement of zinc, a mineral which may help prevent scalp dryness, says Rebecca Kazin, MD, assistant professor of dermatology at Johns Hopkins University. Incorporate other zinc-rich foods like fortified cereals, pork, yogurt, and cashews, to help you reach the 8 mg you need each day.<br />
<br />
<b><i>4. Yellow Peppers</i></b><br />
Yellow bell peppers have nearly five and a half times more vitamin C than oranges (341 milligrams, as opposed to 63). This is good news for your locks since vitamin C is an antioxidant that strengthens the hair shaft and hair follicles, as well as prevents breakage.<br />
<br />
<b><i>5. Spinach</i></b><br />
This leafy vegetable is excellent for your body for many reasons, not the least of which is hair health. The power players here are folate and iron. Folate is a B vitamin that aids the creation of red blood cells, and iron (which spinach is high in) helps the red blood cells carry oxygen. With iron deficiency, a condition known as anemia, cells can't get enough oxygen to function properly. The result can be devastating to the whole body, causing weakness, fatigue, and maybe even hair loss.<br />
<br />
<i><b>6. Chicken</b></i><br />
You may not be able to stop normal, everyday hair loss (we lose an average of 50 to 100 strands per day), but you can help build the count back up by taking in enough protein, the building blocks for hair. Without enough protein, your body can’t replace the hairs that you naturally shed every day,<br />
<br />
<i><b>7. Sweet Potatoes</b></i><br />
These are loaded with beta carotene, the precursor for vitamin A that not only promotes a healthy scalp but promotes hair growth. But choose foods loaded with beta carotene over supplementing with high doses — like over 2500 milligrams — of vitamin A from retinol since it can be toxic at very high levels.<br />
<br />
<i><b>8. Oysters</b></i><br />
The mineral zinc is involved in tissue growth and repair — and that includes hair growth. It also helps keep the oil glands around the hair follicles working properly. Low levels of zinc can cause hair loss, slow growth, and dandruff. But the amount you get from eating foods rich in zinc — such as oysters, crab, clams, liver, lean beef, most nuts and seeds, peanut butter, wheat germ, fat-free yogurt, and cheese — is plenty to keep your tresses gorgeous. Aside from a multivitamin that provides up to 100 percent DV, I don't recommend taking extra zinc supplements because excess zinc can inhibit the body's ability to absorb copper, a minor but necessary mineral.<br />
<br />
<i><b>9. Almonds</b></i><br />
These nuts will make your hair grow faster and thicker due to their high biotin content. One cup contains nearly one-third of your daily requirement. You should be able to see the results in a month or two of adding them to your diet.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-8765628059213714352015-06-20T10:00:00.000-07:002015-06-19T12:10:37.710-07:007 Foods That Will Damage Your Teeth<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><i>7 Foods That Will Damage Your Teeth</i></b><br />
For children, trips to the dentist are scary, mostly because it’s unknown territory. They can still be scary for adults, only now it’s because we know what to expect—and how much it’s going to cost. So keeping our teeth clean and healthy is high on the priority list, which is why we’ve compiled this list of 7 Foods That Will Damage Your Teeth<br />
<br />
Here <u>7 Foods That Will Damage Your Teeth</u><br />
<br />
<i>1. Apples</i><br />
Apples are high in acid, are surprisingly hard on your enamel. While a daily apple may keep the doctor away, the acid might keep your dentist on speed dial. Eating apples is fine, just be sure to rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash shortly after.<br />
<br />
<i>2. Hard candy</i><br />
A post-meal mint may seem like a smart choice, especially if you indulged in the Caesar salad at lunch, but Dr. Vogl says you could be doing more harm than good. “Mints, cough drops or hard candies that you suck on have a demineralization effect," he says, "because usually the lozenge ends up sitting in one area for longer periods of time and you get a very concentrated build-up of acid.” But don’t think you're doomed to have bad breath. “If you use lozenges of any kind on a regular basis," Dr. Vogl suggests, "you should consider getting sugar-free versions.”<br />
<br />
<i>3. Ice is for chilling, not chewing</i><br />
You’d be surprised at how many people think ice is good for their teeth. It’s made of water, after all, and doesn’t contain any sugar or other additives. But chewing on hard substances can leave your teeth vulnerable to a dental emergency and damage enamel. Advice: Break the habit and enjoy water in its liquid form. <br />
<br />
<i>4. Pickled vegetables</i><br />
Pickles are made with vinegar, which is acidic, and often sugar as well. While the vegetables are healthy, the brine is can damage your teeth. Drinking water with your meal helps wash away acids and sugar, but remember to brush an hour later.<br />
<br />
<i>5. Sodas and fruit juices</i><br />
Once again, sugar is the bad guy when it comes to these sweet beverages. But don’t stress out too much over them. “Unless you’re keeping the soda in your mouth for extended periods of time, or have the habit of swishing the soda around your teeth before swallowing, the demineralization effect can be minimized by drinking some water right after. In addition, keep a stash of straws on hand at all times, to keep the liquid away from your teeth as much as possible.<br />
<br />
<i>6. Watch your citrus intake</i><br />
The truth is that frequent exposures to acidic foods can erode enamel, making teeth more susceptible to decay over time. So even though a a squeeze of lemon or lime can turn a simple glass of water into a fun beverage, it's not always the best choice for your mouth. Citric fruits and juices can also irritate mouth sores. Make sure to drink plenty of plain water<br />
<br />
<i>7. Popcorn</i><br />
Popcorn is notorious for getting stuck in your teeth, and the areas between your teeth will cultivate more bacteria for that reason. It’s okay to treat yourself to a bag of popcorn as long as you rinse with water and remember to floss and brush after.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-64957438476902594322015-06-19T10:00:00.000-07:002015-06-19T10:00:00.686-07:00What Causes Insomnia and How Can it be Treated<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u><i>What Causes Insomnia and How Can it be Treated</i></u><br />
Insomnia can be caused by psychiatric and medical conditions, unhealthy sleep habits, specific substances, and/or certain biological factors. Recently, researchers have begun to think about insomnia as a problem of your brain being unable to stop being awake (your brain has a sleep cycle and a wake cycle—when one is turned on the other is turned off—insomnia can be a problem with either part of this cycle: too much wake drive or too little sleep drive). It's important to first understand what could be causing your sleep difficulties.<br /><br />In order to properly treat and cure your insomnia, you need to become a sleep detective. Emotional issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression cause half of all insomnia cases. But your daytime habits, sleep routine, and physical health may also play a role. Try to identify all possible causes of your insomnia. Once you figure out the root cause, you can tailor treatment accordingly.<br /><br />Sometimes, insomnia only lasts a few days and goes away on its own, especially when the insomnia is tied to an obvious temporary cause, such as stress over an upcoming presentation, a painful breakup, or jet lag. Other times, insomnia is stubbornly persistent. Chronic insomnia is usually tied to an underlying mental or physical issue.<br /><br />Examples of medical conditions that can cause insomnia are:<br />
<ul>
<li>Nasal/sinus allergies</li>
<li>Gastrointestinal problems such as reflux</li>
<li>Endocrine problems such as hyperthyroidism</li>
<li>Arthritis</li>
<li>Asthma</li>
<li>Neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease</li>
<li>Chronic pain</li>
<li>Low back pain</li>
</ul>
<i>Psychological problems that can cause insomnia</i>: depression, anxiety, chronic stress, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder.<br />
<br />
<i>Medications that can cause insomnia: antidepressants</i>; cold and flu medications that contain alcohol; pain relievers that contain caffeine (Midol, Excedrin); diuretics, corticosteroids, thyroid hormone, high blood pressure medications.<br />
<br />
<i>Sleep disorders that can cause insomnia: </i>sleep apnea, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome.<br /><br />If you have trouble sleeping on a regular basis, it's a good idea to review your health and think about whether any underlying medical issues or sleep disorders could be contributing to your sleep problems. In some cases, there are simple steps that can be taken to improve sleep (such as avoiding bright lighting while winding down and trying to limit possible distractions, such as a TV, computer, or pets). While in other cases, it's important to talk to your doctor to figure out a course of action. You should not simply accept poor sleep as a way of life—talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist for help.<br /><br />

<u>How to Manage Menopause Symptoms With Foods</u><br />
Every woman experiences different menopause symptoms. Most women have some hot flashes, some feel irritable, a smaller number of women battle headaches, nausea or night sweats.<br /><br />Menopause Symptoms. That not-so-eagerly anticipated, but inevitable time in a woman’s life when our estrogen and progesterone hormones take a downward dive and those hot flashes sneak up on us.<br /><br />Understanding what's really going on in our bodies can help us find natural solutions to the health challenges this phase of life brings us. Because estrogen levels decrease, our risk for heart disease and osteoporosis increases. Menopause is also linked to high blood pressure and weight gain, as well as a higher risk for breast cancer. While hormone replacement therapy can help, we can also battle these negative forces with proper nutrition.<br /><br />here are<i> How to Manage Menopause Symptoms With Foods</i><br />
<i></i><br /><i><b>1. Processed foods. </b></i><br />Potato chips or cookies might taste good, but they’re usually high in sodium or loaded with added sugars (or both), which can make you retain water and feel bloated, Jamieson-Petonic says. If you’re craving a snack, try a healthier alternative like string cheese, carrots dipped in hummus, or a few whole-grain crackers with peanut butter — they’ll satisfy your need to nibble without filling you up with the bad stuff.<br /><br /><i><b>2. Eat More Tofu and Soy</b></i><br />Soy may give relief from hot flashes,we do know that soy may help protect our heart and arteries by lowering bad cholesterol. Many studies have suggested that this occurs because we substitute soy for meats and animal fat in our diet. So give it a try!<br /><br />Eat or drink two servings of soy a day. Soy foods will take 4 to 6 weeks to show an effect.<br /><br /><i><b>3. Spicy foods. </b></i><br />Think twice before you add that extra-hot salsa to your taco. Foods that rate high on the heat scale can actually trigger hot flashes, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. If you’re looking to add some kick to a boring dish, Jamieson-Petonic suggests skipping the jalapenos and sprinkling on spices that provide flavor without as much heat, like cumin, curry, turmeric, and basil.<br /><br /><i><b>4. Eat More Fruits and Vegetables</b></i><br />Fruits and vegetables offer many health benefits -- fiber, vitamins, minerals and naturally low -fat. But there are also many menopausal reasons to eat these foods. Plants have chemicals that help protect our bodies' health and well-being. Phytoestrogens are particular plant chemicals that are very similar in structure to estrogen, and may act as weak estrogen in our bodies. Simply put, phytoestrogens may trick your body into thinking it has more estrogen than it really does -- potentially diminishing some of the discomforts caused by lower estrogen levels during menopause.<br /><br /><i><b>5. Alcohol. </b></i><br />Although it may not be necessary to swear off all cocktails and wine, there are plenty of good reasons to keep your alcohol consumption moderate. As suggested in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, moderate drinking for women is defined as one drink per day or less.<br /><br />According to the North American Menopause Society, women who have 2 to 5 drinks a day have 1.5 times the risk for breast cancer as those who don’t drink at all do, and heavy drinking also can increase your risk for cardiovascular disease. Plus, some women find that alcohol makes them more susceptibleAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-70765614725867523052015-06-12T11:39:00.000-07:002015-06-12T11:39:00.085-07:00How to Recognize Stages of Dementia : 7 Stages of Dementia<br />

<i>How to Recognize Stages of Dementia : 7 Stages of Dementia</i><br />
<br />
<br />
One of the main topics of discussion when someone is diagnosed with dementia is the “stage” of the disease — a marker of how far it has progressed<br /><br />The word dementia gets used a lot when talking about aging and certain diseases. A common misconception is that dementia is a disease in itself. It is, in fact, a set of symptoms, which can be caused by a number of disorders.<br /><br />The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. Brain damage from an injury or a stroke can also cause dementia, as can other diseases like Lewy body dementia and Huntington’s disease.<br /><br />Here <b>How to Recognize Stages of Dementia : 7 Stages of Dementia</b><br /><br /><b><i>1. No impairment</i></b><br />In this stage the person functions normally, has no memory loss, and is mentally healthy. People with NO dementia would be considered to be in Stage 1.<br /><br /><i><b>2. Very mild. </b></i><br />Dementia signs are barely noticeable and simply appear to be the kind of forgetfulness associated with aging — such as misplacing keys but finding them again after some searching.<br /><br /><i><b>3. Mild Cognitive Decline</b></i><br />This stage includes increased forgetfulness, slight difficulty concentrating, decreased work performance. People may get lost more often or have difficulty finding the right words. At this stage, a person's loved ones will begin to notice a cognitive decline. Average duration: 7 years before onset of dementia<br /><br /><i><b>4. Mild. </b></i><br />At this stage, patients are “usually able to do basic activities of daily living,” says Shah — which means they can perform their daily routines, such as getting up, going to the bathroom, getting dressed, and so on, without difficulty. Symptoms of dementia at this stage may include:<br />
<ul>
<li>Some forgetfulness and memory loss</li>
<li> Repetition </li>
<li>Losing items without being able to retrace steps to find them</li>
<li>Slight trouble managing finances, such as balancing a checkbook</li>
<li>Confusion while driving</li>
</ul>
<i><b>5. Moderately Severe Cognitive Decline</b></i><br />People in this stage have major memory deficiencies and need some assistance to complete their daily activities (dressing, bathing, preparing meals). Memory loss is more prominent and may include major relevant aspects of current lives; for example, people may not remember their address or phone number and may not know the time or day or where they are. Average duration: 1.5 years<br /><br /><i><b>6. Severe. </b></i><br />Caregivers have to help a lot more with day-to-day activities at this stage. Dementia signs at the severe stage include:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li> Needing help to get dressed</li>
<li>Requiring help with toileting, such as wiping and flushing</li>
<li>Wandering and becoming lost if not supervised</li>
<li>Inability to recall the names of family members or caregivers, but still being able to recognize familiar faces</li>
<li>Sleep disturbances</li>
</ul>
<i><b>7. Very Severe Cognitive Decline (Late Dementia)</b></i><br />People in this stage have essentially no ability to speak or communicate. They require assistance with most activities (e.g., using the toilet, eating). They often lose psychomotor skills, for example, the ability to walk. Average duration: 2.5 years<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-55270083715672486672015-06-11T10:38:00.000-07:002015-06-11T10:38:08.288-07:006 Things That Can Make Labour More Painful<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u> 6 Things That Can Make Labour More Painful</u><br />
Labour can be a real pain. And for women who choose to be brave and go for a natural delivery without the help of pain relief, labour pains can be unbearable. However, there are times when some simple things done in a wrong way Can Make Labour More Painful<br /><br />
So, lets cut to the chase – Here <i>6 Things That Can Make Labour More Painful</i><br />
<br />
<i><b>1. Lying on your back</b></i><br />When you lie on your back, the baby’s weight presses down on your spine, and cuts off your blood supply. It also puts you in a position that is against gravity, making it harder for you to push. Instead, choose upright or forward-leaning positions, and rest on your side when you get tired.<br /><br /><i><b>2. Fear </b></i><br />What has fear got to do with it? When we’re fearful, we tense up. When we’re tense, we don’t breathe deeply, our body is tight and and we feel more pain. So, how do you combat the fear? I believe the best things a woman can do for herself (and her partner) to help prevent fear is get informed and educated with good quality information and surround herself with great support.This includes: <br />
<ul>
<li>Getting independent birth education</li>
<li>Reading books that give you great information</li>
<li>Considering a homebirth </li>
<li>Look into Calmbirth/Hypnobirth classes </li>
<li>Join pregnancy or birth groups that are supportive of your choices</li>
</ul>
<br /><i><b>3. Shallow breathing</b></i><br />This automatically follows fear. Usually, when you are afraid, you breathe from your chest and not your belly. Consciously try belly breathing by taking a deep breath and holding for a second before breathing out. More the oxygen you take in, more relaxed your body is and more you are capable of fighting pain. Also, oxygen will help produce more oxytocin that will help move the labour along.<br /><br /><i><b>4. Being dehydrated</b></i><br />If you’re dehydrated, your uterus cannot contract as efficiently as it normally would. Dehydration affects every single cell in your body, so you will also feel tired sooner and will not be able to focus or concentrate. Try to sip on water throughout your labour, to keep your system working at optimal levels. It’s a good idea to keep bendy straws with you, so that your partner can hold the glass and you can drink the water easily<br /><br /><b><i>5. Not knowing any natural pain relieving techniques</i></b><br />Labour is painful, with or without pain relieving techniques. You should make it a point to learn some natural techniques that relieve pain, like breathing exercises, or visualisations. They will help relax you and give you something to focus on apart from the pain. You can also opt for a water birth, to make the birth more soothing and less painful. <br />
<br />
<i><b>6. Giving birth in a stressful environment</b></i><br />During your pregnancy, screen the nearest hospitals, before you decide where you want to have your baby. Talk to other people who have given birth at those hospitals and ask them about their experience. If the environment around you is stressing you out, you will tense up, and that will make your labour more painful. Ask them questions like the number of people in the birthing room, whether there were unwanted people around, whether it was chaotic and noisy or calm and peaceful, etc.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-14586186712101185522015-06-09T10:00:00.000-07:002015-06-09T10:00:03.354-07:008 Steps How To Become a Vegetarian<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There are many possible reasons for becoming a vegetarian. Some people do it to improve their health, while others are concerned about the treatment of animals or a desire to have less environmental impact.<br />
<br />
Here 8 Steps How to Become a Vegetarian<br /><b><i> </i></b><br />
<b><i>1. Consider your reasons for becoming vegetarian.</i></b><br />Sorting out your reasons for becoming a vegetarian and having strong convictions concerning your diet will help you stick to your new lifestyle. Knowing your reasons is also important to help you explain to other people why you are a vegetarian; having a ready answer for the inevitable questions makes the journey a little easier. <br /><br /><i><b>2. Reveal your choice to the world.</b></i><br />Start with those with whom you're close, such as your parents or partner. This will alert them to the need for dietary changes in the home and also gives you the first opportunity to explain your choice to people who are close to you and are hopefully likely to be supportive. Be ready for disagreement from some people. It is not considered the "norm" in many cultures to eat vegetarian only, and while few people ever ask a meat eater why he or she chooses to eat meat, very few people hold back on asking a vegetarian why he or she does not eat meat. <br /><br /><i><b>3. Find good recipes. </b></i><br />You don’t need to go out and buy a bunch of new cookbooks, although that’s certainly an option. But again, there are many great recipes online. Try GoVeg.com but don’t worry, you don’t need to decide on anything. Just look through the recipes, take note of a few that look really good, and decide to try a few of them. You have the rest of your life to test out other recipes!<br /><br /><i><b>4. Try one recipe a week.</b></i><br />Try one new vegetarian recipe a week. If you like it, add it to your collection of staple recipes that you eat on a regular basis. If the recipe isn’t that great, try another next week. Soon, you’ll have a good list of 5-10 great recipes that you love to cook and eat. And really, whether you’re vegetarian or meat eater, that’s probably all you really eat on a regular basis anyway (for dinner, at least). Most people only have 7-10 recipes that they cook regularly. Once you have that many vegetarian recipes, you are good to go.<br /><b><i><br />5. Start shopping like a vegetarian.</i></b><br />You'll find a wide variety of vegetarian food available once you start searching for it specifically in grocery stores, health food stores, and farmer's markets. When you stop putting meat in your shopping basket, a new world of possibilities opens up<br /><br /><i><b>6. Research your nutritional needs.</b></i><br />Make sure that you're still getting enough vitamin B12, calcium, protein, and other vitamins and minerals that come primarily from meat. It may help to take vitamins and calcium tablets if you don't already, but aim to get most of your nutrition from good quality food. <br /><br /><i><b>7. Start with red meat.</b></i><br />I suggest a gradual transition into vegetarianism … although you can do it all at once, I’ve found that for many people, a gradual transition works better. There’s no need to give up all meat at once. Try a few new recipes, maybe eat one vegetarian meal for the first week, two for the second, and so on. If you do this, start with red meat, as it is typically the least healthy.<br />
<br />
<i><b>8. Make sure you eat enough food.</b></i><br />If you aren't getting enough food, you might start craving meat. There is protein in almost all kinds of food, so you can rest assured that you'll almost definitely get enough protein, as long as you eat 1200 calories or more a day. If you are trying to gain weight it is important to eat a wide variety of legumes, nuts, and seeds into your diet to make sure you get enough calories and healthy fats. <br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-58570025596301869362015-05-12T17:23:00.001-07:002015-05-12T17:23:38.320-07:00How to Lose Weight With Eating Right<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u><b>How to Lose Weight With Eating Right</b></u><br />
Successfully managing your weight comes down to a simple equation: If you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight. And if you eat fewer calories than you burn, you lose weight. Sounds easy, right? Then why is losing weight so hard?<br /><br />Here 6 Steps <u><i>How to Lose Weight With Eating Right</i></u> :<br /><br /><i><b>1. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. </b></i><br />Fruit helps to satisfy your sweet tooth thanks to its natural sugars, while fresh vegetables help you fill up more quickly. Fruits and vegetables contain fiber to help you feel full quickly.<br />Use vegetables as a main dish. For example, make a stir-fry or a hearty salad and add just a few ounces of cooked chicken, salmon or almonds.<br /><br /><i><b>2. Eat early, weigh less. </b></i><br />Early studies suggest that consuming more of your daily calories at breakfast and fewer at dinner can help you drop more pounds. Eating a larger, healthy breakfast can jump start your metabolism, stop you feeling hungry during the day, and give you more time to burn off the calories<br /><br /><b><i>3. Eat more whole grains and cut simple carbs. </i></b><br />Whole wheat bread, oatmeal, whole wheat pasta, sweet potato, and brown rice are all excellent sources of energy and sources of nutrition. Combined with the right combination of proteins and vegetables, whole grains are perfect all-around nutrition.<br />Simple carbs are things like white bread, processed flour, and white sugar. This gives you energy quickly, but then comes with a crash. It gets transferred into fat very quickly.<br />Eat only naturally-occurring carbohydrates instead of processed carbohydrates. Avoid processed foods, like white bread, semolina pasta or crackers, or processed sweets like candy bars or sugary vegetables.<br /><br /><i><b>4. Serve yourself smaller portions. </b></i><br />One easy way to control portion size is by using small plates, bowls, and cups. This will make your portions appear larger. Don’t eat out of large bowls or directly from the food container or package, which makes it difficult to assess how much you’ve eaten. Using smaller utensils, like a teaspoon instead of tablespoon, can slow eating and help you feel full sooner.<br /><br /><i><b>5. Choose lean proteins instead of fatty ones. </b></i><br />Protein is important for organ function and building muscle while, if you plan on working out. Select lean cuts of beef or extra-lean ground beef when you're eating red meat. If you use different cuts of chicken, then remove the skin.<br />Skip the fatty deli meats like bologna and salami. Choose lean turkey or roast beef as a replacement.<br />Vegetarians can get plenty of protein from soy, nuts, beans and seeds. Lentils, legumes, and beans are excellent sources of fiber and protein.<br /><br /><b><i>6. Plan your meals and snacks ahead of time. </i></b><br />You will be more inclined to eat in moderation if you have thought out healthy meals and snacks in advance. You can buy or create your own small portion snacks in plastic bags or containers. Eating on a schedule will also help you avoid eating when you aren’t truly hungry.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-6748408216942048322015-05-11T17:53:00.001-07:002015-05-11T17:53:29.103-07:00How to Control High Blood Pressure With Healthy Habits<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u><b>How to Control High Blood Pressure Healthy Habits</b></u><br />
Hypertension is a serious problem that affects 1/3 of adults. It can often have no symptoms but still needs immediate attention -- especially if you are overweight, sedentary, eating improperly and/or it just runs in your family.<br />While medication can lower blood pressure, it may cause side effects such as leg cramps, dizziness, and insomnia. Fortunately, most people can bring down their blood pressure naturally without medication.<br /><br />here <i><u>How to Control High Blood Pressure Healthy Habits :</u></i><br /><i><b>1. Go for power walks</b></i><br />Hypertensive patients who went for fitness walks at a brisk pace lowered pressure by almost 8 mmhg over 6 mmhg. Exercise helps the heart use oxygen more efficiently, so it doesn't work as hard to pump blood. Get a vigorous cardio workout of at least 30 minutes on most days of the week.<br /><br /><i><b>2. Reduce your sodium intake. </b></i><br />Limit your sodium to about 2,300 milligrams (mg) per day.If you don't feel like you eat a ton of salt, it may just be an issue of not knowing what's in the food you eat. An easy way to cut out the salt is to skip on the processed foods; when you prepare your own food, you know just what goes into it.<br /><br /><i><b>3. Breathe deeply</b></i><br />Slow breathing and meditative practices such as qigong, yoga, and tai chi decrease stress hormones, which elevate renin, a kidney enzyme that raises blood pressure. Try 5 minutes in the morning and at night. Inhale deeply and expand your belly. Exhale and release all of your tension.<br /><br /><i><b>4. Switch out coffee for tea. </b></i><br />We'll get to the caffeine argument in a bit, but for right now let's cover coffee's morning (and noon and night for some) counterpart, tea. Not only is there less caffeine in tea (which constricts blood vessels), but it can lower blood pressure on a permanent basis<br /><br /><b><i>5. Indulge in dark chocolate</i></b><br />Dark chocolate varieties contain flavanols that make blood vessels more elastic. In one study, 18% of patients who ate it every day saw blood pressure decrease. Have ½ ounce daily (make sure it contains at least 70% cocoa).<br /><br /><b><i>6. Check your blood pressure regularly. </i></b><br />Get cholesterol and other readings (possibly at public health clinics or health fairs) and see your medical professional regularly to assess any cardiovascular and other health issues discovered. The more proactive you are, the better grip you'll have on the issue. <br /><br /><i><b>7. Watch your weight. </b></i><br />As your weight increases, chances are your blood pressure and related heart-stresses are increasing too. Just a loss of ten pounds can show you a decrease in your blood pressure levels. Consult your doctor on a healthy target weight.

<u><b>How To Save Yourself From Cold And Flu</b></u><br />
You may not be able to completely prevent colds and flu this time of year, but by practicing good hygiene and being careful to avoid cold germs, you may escape cold and flu season unscathed<br /><br />Here <u><i>How To Save Yourself From Cold And Flu</i></u><br /><i><b>1. Wash your hands well and wash them often. </b></i><br />The best way to prevent catching a cold is to wash your hands after going to the toilet, before a meal and after sneezing. Sometimes it is necessary to wash them at other times too. <br /><br /><i><b>2. Wipe Down Germy Areas</b></i><br />It's probably common sense not to shake a sick person's hands when you want to prevent a cold — but that's far from the only place that you can pick up cold germs. A recent study looked for the presence of viruses on classroom surfaces and found that the flu virus was found on as many as 50 percent of surfaces. So take some time when you clean up your office or home to wipe down germy areas — light switches, doorknobs, your phone, your computer, and your TV remote — with your favorite cleaning product.<br /><i><b><br />3. Drink plenty of fluids. </b></i><br />It is possible that simply drinking water can save you from a cold, but that does not always work. You can take anti-flu medicines or you could try hot drinks like Hot Orange and Lemsip. <br /><br /><b><i>4. Exercise to Strengthen Your Immunity</i></b><br />Exercise not only makes you feel great and helps you stay fit, but it also boosts your immune system and can help prevent cold and flu viruses from making you sick. Additionally, warding off extra weight is important for overall health, particularly when it comes to preventing colds and flu. A recent study found that overweight and obese people were more likely to fall ill or be injured, and researchers determined that higher BMI indicated an increased risk of injury and illness<br /><br /><i><b>5. Bundle up with layer clothing. </b></i><br />As you may have worked out from the name, a cold can be caused by getting too cold. Maybe you should keep your central heating on more often or you could wear coats every time you go outside. After playing sport matches it would be sensible to have a nice warm meal when you get back. <br /><br /><i><b>6. Get Plenty of Sleep</b></i><br />Getting enough shut-eye each night offers bigger benefits than staying awake during a long afternoon at the office. Studies have found that getting enough sleep is essential for healthy immune function, and that insufficient sleep or poor sleep quality is associated with lowered immune function.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-4252177683444163562015-05-09T17:30:00.000-07:002015-05-09T16:30:18.628-07:00How to Burn Tummy Fat With Healthy Diet <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One of the most common questions I get is How to Burn Tummy Fat. Tummy Fat is actually the most dangerous type of fat – besides aesthetics, large waist lines are indicators of –disease-disease-disease.<br />
<br />
One easy way to find out if you're carrying too much abdominal fat is to wrap a measuring tape around your body at the top of your hipbones. If your number is more than 35 inches, it may be time to take action. With the right plan, it's actually easier to lose than stubborn lower-body fat or the seemingly impossible to tone back-of-the-arm flab<br />
<br />
<i><u>Here How to Burn Tummy Fat With Healthy Diet :</u></i><br />
<br />
<i><b>1. Avoid refined sugar. </b></i><br />
White bread, cake, cookies, ice cream and candy all contain high levels of "bad" carbohydrates and refined sugar. Your body has trouble converting these carbs and refined sugar to energy and instead resulting in fat. Focus on foods with "good" carbs and no refined sugar such as whole wheat pasta, oatmeal, apples, bananas, broccoli and yams.<br />
<br />
<i><b>2. Healthy Fats</b></i><br />
In addition to helping maintain heart health and keep inflammation levels under control, monounsaturated fatty acids, or MUFAs, may stop belly fat before it starts. Research in the journal Diabetes Care found that people who got roughly 25 percent of their total daily calories from MUFAs gained no visceral fat over the course of the study, while those who ate less MUFAs and more carbs added fat to their midsections. My favorite MUFA-rich food is olive oil because you can use it in so many meals (check out the belly-blasting breakfast I recommend), but avocados and nuts are other excellent sources. Pine nuts are particularly great because they also contain high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. These acids increase levels of two hormones that signal your brain when you're full. Try snacking on one ounce of pine nuts (about the amount you can fit in a shot glass) 20 minutes before mealtime to avoid overeating.<br />
<br />
<b><i>3. Slowing down your breath</i></b><br />
This is a very simple method that you can use even when you’re in the midst of doing something else. Whenever you notice you’re feeling tense and uptight check and see how you’re breathing. Most people under stress either alternate holding their breath with short breaths, or take rapid shallow breaths. After you become aware of your own breathing, consciously relax your belly and slow down the breathing. This works best if you focus on slowing down the exhalation rather than your inhalation. With each exhalation you can say to yourself “slow down”. That is all there is to it- Simple but surprisingly effective!!!ting breakfast I recommend), but avocados and nuts are other excellent sources. Pine nuts are particularly great because they also contain high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. These acids increase levels of two hormones that signal your brain when you're full. Try snacking on one ounce of pine nuts (about the amount you can fit in a shot glass) 20 minutes before mealtime to avoid overeating.<br />
<br />
<i><b>4. Eat more dark chocolate. </b></i><br />
In addition to a variety of beneficial vitamins and minerals, dark chocolate also contains cocoa, which is proven to reduce the risk of blood clots. Dark chocolate also gives you more energy by increasing serotonin and endorphin levels.<br />
<br />
<i><b>5. Green Tea</b></i><br />
A 2012 study in the Journal of Functional Foods found that people who drank one and a half cups of green tea enriched with a total of 609 milligrams of catechins (a group of antioxidants that have been shown to help burn fat cells) every day for 12 weeks lost almost 16 times as much visceral fat as those who consumed green tea without the added antioxidants. To achieve similar results with store-bought green tea, you'll need to brew two to four cups daily (many varieties can contain 160 to 470 milligrams of catechins per cup).Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-74461179998484342322015-05-03T10:00:00.000-07:002015-05-03T10:00:02.243-07:00How to Choose the Right Kind of Yoga for You<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yoga has been around for centuries. It's used for exercise, meditation, and better health.<br />Some of yoga's popularity has to do with its (well-deserved) reputation for being an excellent stress reliever. But a big part of yoga's popularity surge is it's just plain good exercise.<br /><br />Here <i><u>How to Choose the Right Kind of Yoga for You</u></i> :<br /><br /><b><i>1. Go online </i></b><br />Do research the different kinds of yoga to see what they have to offer.<br /><br /><i><b>2. Hatha: Good for Beginners</b></i><br />This mellow form of yoga focuses on simple poses that flow from one to the other at a very comfortable pace. Participants are encouraged to go at their own pace, taking time to focus on the breathing and meditation in their practice. This yoga is ideal for winding down at the end of a tough day. <br /><br /><i><b>3. Ashtanga & Power Yoga:Good for Weight loss</b></i><br />These two combine the regular benefits of yoga with a killer cardio session. Both styles focus on flowing from one pose to the next without rest—making for a terrific calorie burn (about 500 per hour). "The practice is meant to generate heat in your body," says Mandy Ingber, the yoga instructor behind Jennifer Aniston's ageless body. So, yes, you will sweat. A lot.<br /><br /><b><i>4. Bikram Yoga:Good For yoga veterans</i></b><br />Done in a sauna-like room at about 40.6 degrees Celsius and 40% humidity, a series of 26 poses and two breathing exercises are performed during every class.<br />The high heat allows you to dig deep into the stretches, simultaneously building your stamina and flushing toxins from your body through intense perspiration.<br /><br /><b><i>5. Iyengar: Good for: Injury-prone people</i></b><br />A softer on the body classical style of yoga,It uses props such as chairs, straps, blocks and pillows, and even sandbags, to compensate for a lack of flexibility, which is helpful for anyone with back or joint problems. <br />Benefits include toning muscles, eliminating tension and easing chronic pain. When we strengthen weak areas of ourselves and open and stretch tight ones, our bodies return to their correct alignment.<br />Practicing Iyengar yoga will give you a good knowledge of classic yoga poses so that whatever other style you practice, you will have the basic fundamentals of how to do each posture.<br /><br /><b><i>6.

<u><b>How to Lose Weight Fast & Easy Naturally in a Week</b></u><br />
Majority of the people nowadays are not only interested in knowing how to lose weight, but they are now more interested in learning how to lose weight fast. They want to achieve weight loss fast because it’s a sign that their hard work at trying to lose weight is actually working. When it comes to weight loss, natural weight loss is also considered nowadays and is in fact more advisable than other procedures. But the question is can you lose weight fast through natural weight loss? Is it possible to lose weight fast naturally? The answer is yes.<br /><br />Here 5 Steps <i><u>How to Lose Weight Fast & Easy Naturally in a Week :</u></i><br /><i><b>1. Drink Plain Water</b></i><br />A sports or energy drink, fruit smoothie, or light beer — each serving contains about 100 calories.<br />Water, on the other hand, has zero calories and carbs and little to no sodium, making it the perfect slim-down drink. And strangely, it actually helps flush out excess water weight as well as jump-starts your metabolism. If it's just too boring, add lemon wedges or mint leaves.<br /><br /><b><i>2. Do not overeat.</i></b><br />Just as you should not starve, you should also not overeat. Overeating is useless. Just because you can eat the food you want doesn’t mean you should overeat. You may stuff yourself with nutrients but excess of these nutrients that are no longer absorbed by the body can be stored as fats in your body. No matter how you eat the right foods if you overeat, losing weight would still be slow. <br /><br /><i><b>3. Ban White Bread and Pasta</b></i><br />Cutting out all white grain products — such as white rice, spaghetti, sandwich rolls — will instantly slim you down because the simple carbs in these foods cause bloating, especially around your belly. Simple carbohydrates wreak havoc on your weight because they're digested very quickly, leaving you hungry and more likely to overeat later<br /><br /><b><i>4. Choose the natural supplement with the right ingredients. </i></b><br />The reason why not all natural weight loss pills are effective is because not all contain the right ingredients that can really aid in burning fats, suppressing appetite and blocking fats. Even if some may be complete in ingredients, they do not contain the right amount of these ingredients so they rarely have any effect at all. <br /><br /><i><b>5. Do Cardio 30 Minutes a Day</b></i><br />Any workout that gets your heart rate up will burn calories. But you'll use more calories if you pick a cardio routine that engages multiple muscles simultaneously<br />Three to consider: spinning, cardio kickboxing, and boot-camp workouts. Half an hour of each torches 200 to 300 calories while toning up your arms, legs, and core so everything appears sleeker and tighter.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-53294494875159953262015-05-01T17:30:00.000-07:002015-05-01T17:30:00.887-07:00How to Be Healthy and Slim<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you would like to live a happy, healthy lifestyle as well as keep slim and feel confident in your own skin, then you've come to the right place. It's very easy to slim down as well as live a healthier lifestyle. All you will need is determination, commitment, and desire.<br /><br />Here 7 Steps <i>How to Be Healthy and Slim</i><br />
<br /><i><b>1. Eat</b></i><br />Eat well, eat often--4-6 small meals a day to optimize your metabolism and keep your body energized and in balance. Don't deny yourself treats, but make sure that the majority of your food choices are high in nutrients, fiber, "good fats," and lean protein. Local, in-season, and organic when possible? All the better.<br /><br /><b><i>2. Limit junk food. </i></b><br />Junk food is probably the main reason why you're not healthy or not at a good weight. Of course you can still eat it. If it's a Friday night and your friends are going out to get ice cream, why not join them? Just be careful with sugary sweets.<br /><br /><i><b>3. Snack on Berries, Help Stave Off Cancer</b></i><br />Cancer is a frightening thing. Fortunately, some of the most powerful anticancer weapons can be found in your pantry. The foods you eat might be able to starve cancer cells. need access to the blood supply. Your blood vessels are a highway of nutrients. When a cancer cell starts to grow, even before it's detectable by your doctor, it must build a ramp so it can hijack nutrients from the blood supply. Berries may help prevent that ramp from forming. They also contain antioxidants, which reduce inflammation and oxidative stress and may help guard against certain cancers.<br /><br /><i><b>4. Get enough sleep.</b></i><br />If you don't get a healthy amount of sleep, 1, you won't be healthy at all, and 2, you might put on some extra weight. Your body burns more calories when you're asleep, so try to squeeze in at 8-10 hours, 6 MINIMUM.<br /><br /><i><b>5. Love</b></i><br />Falling in love feels great, we all know that. Love triggers the release of all manner of feel-good brain chemicals that bathe our bodies in happiness and well-being... even protection from illness.<br /><br /><i><b>6. Exercise. </b></i><br />Don't do extreme weight lifting, especially if you're young, because this can wreck your body, and even though you may get big, you'll weigh more because of all that muscle. Instead, do light exercising. You know, yoga, running, biking, sports, and stuff like that. Also make some time to exercise. Park a bit further away from school and walk!<br /><br /><b><i>7. Drink lots of water. </i></b><br />Water is very good for you, and there's nothing bad about the taste, even though it may taste kind of boring and plain.

<u><b>How to Treat a Child With a Cold</b></u><br />
Colds are the worst. They can keep you in bed, and can cause you to miss school or work. They can also be very painful, especially if your child has it<br />
<br />
Here 6 tips <i><u>How to Treat a Child With a Cold</u></i><br />
<i><b>1. If the child is coughing</b></i><br />
set them upright in their beds at night, and turn on the humidifier. Add some salt to it, it helps the steam come out more profusely. <br />
<br />
<i><b>2. Keep them home</b></i><br />
If your child has a fever over 101°, or any fever just as he is starting to get sick, keep him home,Even if your child doesn't have a sky-high fever, consider keeping him home if he's too sick to take part in school activities or if he is contagious.<br />
Staying home may help your child get better more quickly and avoid spreading germs to his peers.<br />
<br />
3. <b><i>For sore throats, use a mix of apple cider vinegar (about 2 tbsp) in one cup of cool water, and a tablespoon of honey. </i></b><br />
Heat that up in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and have your child drink. It doesn't taste very good, but it soothes the throat within seconds. <br />
<br />
<b><i>4. Prevent dehydration</i></b><br />
Keeping children well hydrated is especially important when they are sick.Frozen Popsicles and even good old-fashioned chicken soup will also ensure that your child is sufficiently hydrated.<br />
<br />
<b><i>5. For runny/stuffy noses, </i></b><br />
The humidifier works as well, but always make sure the child has tissues somewhere near them; if they suck back the nasal mucus, it will give them ear infections, making the cold worse.<br />
<br />
<i><b>6. Keep their hands clean</b></i><br />
Teach your children to wash their hands regularly, especially after coughing or sneezing and before eating. This habit can go a long way to stop the spread of disease and keep them healthy. A good trick to make sure they wash thoroughly is to tell them to sing "Happy Birthday" twice.<br />

<u><b>How to Get Kids to Eat Healthier</b></u><br />
Most kids do not particularly enjoy eating "healthy" foods. So what your children learn to eat at home early in life sticks with them well into adulthood.<br />
<br />
Here are 5 tips <u><i>How to Get Kids to Eat Healthier</i></u><i><b> </b></i><br />
<i><b>1. Give foods fun names</b></i><br />
i.e. Tally's wiggle macaroni and cheese. You can also name things after them or fun T.V characters they like, for example Micky Mouse. <br />
<br />
<i><b>2. Be a good role model.</b></i><br />
Most of the parents we know complain that their children refuse to eat healthfully. The real problem most often lies with the parents, not the kids<br />
Most of us are so accustomed to eating out and buying prepared foods in the grocery store that we don’t even know what good food is anymore. In order to be good role models we must educate ourselves first and then practice what we preach.<br />
<br />
<b><i>3. Don't nag about unhealthy choices.</i></b><br />
When children choose fatty, fried, unhealthy foods, redirect them by suggesting a healthier option.<br />
<br />
<b><i>4. Experiment with fun colors and shapes. </i></b><br />
Could you cut that sandwich or fruit into a star or heart shape with a cookie cutter? <br />
<br />
<i><b>5. Sit down to family dinners at night.</b></i><br />
If this isn't a tradition in your home, make it one. Research shows that children who eat dinners at the table with their parents have better nutrition and are less likely to get in serious trouble as teenagers. Start with one night a week, and then work up to three or four, to gradually build the habit.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-88246113879472175592015-04-30T10:00:00.000-07:002015-05-01T00:34:38.397-07:00How to Burn Belly Fat Fast With Lifestyle Changes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u><b>How to Burn Belly Fat Fast With Lifestyle Changes</b></u><br />
Losing that belly fat is about more than just aesthetics; having excess weight around the midsection can increase your likelihood for a variety of illnesses, including diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and certain cancers.<br /><br />Here <u><i>How to Burn Belly Fat Fast With Lifestyle Changes</i></u><br /><b><i>1. Take the scenic route. </i></b><br />Park your car as far as possible from the entrance to your office, the shopping mall or a restaurant and get those legs pumping. Ten minutes of daily moderate paced walking (five minutes each way burns about 20 calories) can take off over 4 pounds a year<br /><br /><i><b>2. Exercise</b></i><b class="whb"> <i>regularly</i></b><br />While not everyone has time to spend two hours at the gym every day, it is still possible to get enough daily activity to help your body burn off unwanted belly fat. Try to fit in three five minute sets of vigorous exercise per day, five days out of the week. Some great examples of workouts that will get your heart pumping and help you lose belly fat include<br /><br /><i><b>3. Get enough sleep. </b></i><br />People who are sleep deprived tend to feel sluggish, causing them to overeat to compensate for the lack of energy.Getting at least six to seven hours of sleep a night is crucial to maintaining your overall health, and can help you manage your weight in the long run.<br /><br /><i><b>4. Relax</b></i><br />Stress causes our bodies to pump out a hormone called cortisol which causes us to build and retain belly fat. If you’ve tried every health food, trick, cheat, and exercise under the sun but you just can’t seem to lose the weight around your waist, relax. It may be the stress itself that is to blame. Instead of worrying about your weight, set aside some time each day to do something you love. Think about what makes you happy and find a way to include that in your daily routine.<br /><br /><i><b>5. Don't try to "spot-reduce." </b></i><br />Crunches and other ab-busting workouts are great if you are trying to build muscle, but if you have excess belly fat, these types of exercises will build muscle underneath that fat without targeting the fat itself. Instead of trying to tone up your stomach only, focus on total-body toning exercises that build overall muscle mass.<br /><br /><b><i>6. Eat the Right Foods</i></b><br />Depending on who you ask, the lineup of foods that can magically burn away unwanted weight is a long one. However, many of the items included on that list are questionable at best. Here is some foods<a href="http://avicennanotes.blogspot.com/2015/04/how-to-lose-belly-fat-naturally-with-foods.html">(how to lose belly fat naturally with foods)</a> that really will help you to shed belly fat when included as part of a balanced, healthy diet.<br /><br /><i><b>7. Cook meals at home when possible</b></i><br />Use olive oil or cooking spray rather than butter. When eating out, opt for protein-rich foods over starchy foods like pasta. Ask for dressings and sauces on the side to cut down on extra calories.<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-12524352593159842762015-04-29T17:30:00.000-07:002015-05-01T00:36:27.265-07:00How to Lose Belly Fat Naturally with foods<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u><b>How to Lose Belly Fat Naturally with food</b></u><br />
Here <u><i>How to Lose Belly Fat Naturally with food :<br /></i></u><i><b>1. Oatmeal</b></i><br />
Your morning snack attack is caused by a dip in blood sugar levels. Fiber-rich oatmeal stays in your stomach for hours, staving off a doughnut run.<br />
<br />
<i><b>2. Switch out refined grains for whole grains. </b></i><br />
In a scientific study, people who ate all whole grains (in addition to five servings of fruits and vegetables, three servings of low-fat dairy, and two servings of lean meat, fish, or poultry) lost more belly fat than another group that ate the same diet, but with all refined grains<br />
<br />
<i><b>3. Protein Powder</b></i><br />
It's not just for gym rats! Protein powder contains amino acids that burn fat and build muscle. Add two teaspoons to a smoothie for a fat-busting drink. Find it at health food stores.<br />
<br />
<i><b>4. Drink plenty of water. </b></i><br />
Studies suggest that consistently drinking water throughout the day can lead to a more active metabolism, regardless of dieting.Drinking more water also helps your body flush out waste/toxins and improves your overall health. <br />
<br />
<b><i>5. Olive Oil</i></b><br />
Everyone needs a little fat — it controls hunger. Go for monounsaturated fats like olive or canola oil. They will help keep your cholesterol under control and satisfy cravings.<br />
<br />
<i><b>6. Berries</b></i><br />
Berries stuff a lot of filling fiber into a tiny package: Just one cup of raspberries has six grams. <br />
<br />
<i><b>7. Meats and Fish</b></i><br />
Your body burns more calories digesting protein than carbs or fat. Want the leanest meat out there? Opt for turkey, but to cut down even more on saturated fat, choose fish. Go for tuna and salmon; they are full of omega-3s, which help prevent stress chemicals that promote fat abs.<br />
<br />
<i><b>8. Avocados</b></i><br />
In addition to containing lots of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, avocados are a terrific source of filling fiber (11 to 17 grams per avocado!), making them a great food for staving off hunger, says Bowden.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-89500600382425415082015-04-29T10:00:00.000-07:002015-05-01T17:33:55.155-07:00How to Lose Belly Fat Fast<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u><b>How to Lose Belly Fat Fast</b></u><br />
There are many dangerous and ineffective gimmicks about how to lose belly fat. While there's no "magic bullet" that will target abdominal fat in particular.<br />
<br />
Here <i><u>How to Lose Belly Fat Fast :</u><b>1. Never stop moving</b></i><br />
There's one thing to like about visceral fat: It yields fairly easily to aerobic exercise. Vaporizing calories by running, biking, swimming—anything that gets your heartrate up—wins over resistance training when it comes to getting rid of the stuff. A recent study from Duke found the sweet spot: Jogging the equivalent of 12 miles a week.<br />
<br />
<i><b>2. Decompress. </b></i><br />
Research indicates that the secretion of cortisol (a hormone your body produces during times of stress) is correlated with an increase in belly fat.Some strategies for combating everyday stress:<br />
Enough sleep. Most adults need at least 7 hours of sleep every night to function properly.<br />
Set aside time to relax. Even if it's only 15 minutes on your lunch break<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b>3. Eat protein</b></i><br />
Of course you know that protein's essential for a slimmer you. But here's why protein really needs to play a prime roll on your plate: Your body starts to produce more insulin as you age, since your muscle and fat cells aren't responding to it properly. And insulin promotes fat storage, especially around your belly. A diet high in protein may protect you against insulin resistance<br />
<br />
<i><b>4. Drink plenty of water.</b></i><br />
Studies suggest that consistently drinking water throughout the day can lead to a more active metabolism, regardless of dieting.Drinking more water also helps your body flush out waste/toxins and improves your overall health.drink an 8-oz. glass of water 8 times per day, or 64 ounces total.<br />

<u><b>How to Cure Headache Naturally at Home</b></u><br />
Headaches, including migraines, are extremely common. Because headaches can stem from a variety of causes, some headache sufferers seek treatment on a near-daily basis. Fortunately, there are several home-remedy treatments that can help alleviate migraine pain and other types of headaches.<br /><br />Here <i><u>How to Cure Headache Naturally at Home</u></i><br /><br /><i><b>1. Crush it with cayenne</b></i><br />Utilizing something spicy may not sound headache helpful, but cayenne is somewhat revered in the kingdom of natural remedies to treat pain and inflammation. The secret behind its success lies in an ingredient called capsaicin, which inhibits something in our body that is one of the main elements in pain perception called Substance P. In short, Substance P is part of what makes us feel pain, and the capsaicin depletes it. Numerous studies, the first in 1998 in The Clinical Journal of Pain, support that when applied topically to the nasal passages; people experience a significant decrease in the severity of their headaches, all thanks to capsaicin.<br /><br /><i><b>2. Lavender Oil</b></i><br />Not only does lavender smell great — it’s also a useful home remedy for headaches and migraine pain. Lavender oil can be either inhaled or applied topically. Two to four drops for every two to three cups of boiling water are recommended when inhaling lavender-oil vapors as a headache treatment. Unlike many medicinal oils, this home remedy can also be safely applied externally without the need to dilute it. Lavender oil should not be taken orally. <br /><br /><i><b>3. Feverfew and ginger</b></i><br />Feverfew, an herb with a long history of use for migraines, has been combined with ginger, a known anti-nausea therapy, in a sublingual tablet called LipiGesic. A recent study, authored by Cady, found that 63% of migraine sufferers using LipiGesic found some relief compared to 39% of those taking a placebo. Of those taking LipiGesic, 32% we're pain free at two hours after the onset of a migraine, compared to 16 percent of those on placebo.<br /><br /><i><b>4. Peppermint Oil</b></i><br />Peppermint is a soothing home remedy that has been shown to benefit tension headaches. This fresh-smelling oil has vaso-constricting and vaso-dilating properties, which help control blood flow in the body. Headaches and migraine pain are often due to poor blood flow, and peppermint oil helps to open and close the vessels that promote flow. Peppermint home remedies also open up the sinuses so that more oxygen can get into the bloodstream. <br /><br /><i><b>5. Go nuts</b></i><br />Instead of popping a pill when you get a headache, toss back some almonds. For everyday tension-type headaches, almonds can be a natural remedy and a healthier alternative to other medicine. It acts as a pain reliever because it contains something called salicin, which is also an agent in popular over the counter killers. Try eating a handful or two of these wholesome nuts when you feel the ache start to set in.<br /><br /><b><i>6. Basil Oil</i></b><br />Basil, the strong-scented herb used as a topping for pizzas and pastas, certainly tastes and smells good. And for people in need of a natural headache treatment, the oil derived from basil plants can also be a useful home remedy. Basil works as a muscle relaxant, so it is especially helpful for headaches caused by tension and tight muscles<br /><i><b><br />7. Apple cider vinegar compress</b></i><br />Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has a long history in realm of natural remedies. It’s been used to relieve everything from scurvy to hay fever, and just about any other ailment that falls in between. Some modern day studies have proven its effectiveness in treating certain illnesses, but most of its clout lies in the reports of people throughout the centuries who have benefited from it. If you find yourself coming down with a throbbing headache, try getting some quality ACV time into your day in the form of a steam-style treatment.<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289394014683486258.post-3570259204281553162015-04-28T10:00:00.000-07:002015-04-28T10:00:04.505-07:00How to Bleach Your teeth using Wonderful Herbs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Citrus fruits are natural teeth whitening agents and hence mixing with any citrus fruit will exert a whitening effect on the teeth. Brush your teeth with this bay leaf and citrus mixture. However, do not add too much citrus juice as it can damage your enamel. So doing this thrice a week should be sufficient to leave your teeth white<br /><br /><i><b>6. Apples</b></i><br />Apple helps in increasing the production of saliva. It also helps in maintaining a fresh and clean breath. Eat one apple a day to remove stains from teeth.

<u><b>How to Bleach Your Teeth Yourself at Home</b></u><br />
Do you have yellow or discolored teeth? The sad truth is some people, no matter how many times they brush their teeth, have stained teeth from drinking coffee, tea, and or smoking.<br />Whitening or bleaching your teeth can create a more appealing and youthful smile. When done correctly, whitening is a safe and effective process that does not harm your teeth. If you want to brighten your smile<br /><br />
Here 7 steps <u><i>How to Bleach Your Teeth Yourself at Home</i></u><br /><br /><b><i>1. Brush After Drinking or Eating</i></b><br />The best way, but not always the easiest is to simply brush your teeth after eating or drinking something. This takes a lot of persistence and can even be kind of difficult depending on where you are at the time. Most food does not stain teeth, but if you are a coffee drinker or if you smoke, you can pretty much count on having discolored teeth from staining.<br /><br /><b><i>2. Baking soda. </i></b><br />If this stuff can be found in toothpaste, it's got to work. Turns out there are free radicals in baking soda that can penetrate through your enamel, turning stains clear. Just dip your toothbrush in the stuff and scrub away for a couple of minutes, just like you're brushing your teeth<br />There has been some uproar about just how safe this is, for the record. While it is effective, some say that it damages the enamel of your teeth, weakening it or destroying it entirely. To be safe, you may not want to rely on this option in the long-term.<br /><br /><b><i>3. Coconut Oil Pulling</i></b><br />Coconut oil to clean your teeth? Can it be true? Just when you thought you heard it all when it comes to coconut oil, along it comes to the rescue as a teeth whitener. Some people are attesting to their teeth becoming whiter by applying coconut oil to their teeth after they brush. But for most people, they are praising the results of oil pulling. Simply put a spoonful of coconut oil in your mouth and swish it between your teeth for 5 to 20 minutes. Or add a few drops to your tooth brush and simple brush it on, or add the coconut oil to a corner of a clean wash cloth and rub it on. Also, coconut oil has antimicrobial properties so it’s great for your gums as well.<br /><br /><b><i>4. Bleach your teeth with hydrogen peroxide. </i></b><br />As long as you don't swallow this stuff, hydrogen peroxide can be just the ticket you were looking for. Try it as a mouthwash, too! <br /><br /><b><i>5. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)</i></b><br />It makes sense that apple cider vinegar would eventually remove stubborn stains on the teeth, especially from coffee and nicotine. It has been proven that it does work but you have to be consistent and it takes a least a month of continuous usage to see results. Some say that using ACV looks like you just got your teeth professionally cleansed.<br /><b><i><br /></i><i>6. Buy a teeth-whitening kit. </i></b><br />As if it could get any easier, right? Your local big box store or pharmacy probably carries a few options when it comes to teeth-whitening kits. Some are rather expensive and some aren't -- but all will warrant results (it's just a matter of time). If you can spring for it, do so.<br /><br /><b><i>7. Get a kit from your dentist. </i></b><br />He has access to super powerful gels and trays that you won't find at your local pharmacy. And if he doesn't, for some reason, have any available, he probably knows someone who does.<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06159418923623250391noreply@blogger.com0
