Eyes

We need to take care of our eyes. Sometimes, we take eyes for granted-- we tend to always focus on our face. There are ways to have healthier eyes. Take adequate rest and sleep to refresh the eyes and help them function well. Eat fruits and vegetables such as carrots, spinach, papaya and mangoes. These are rich in beta carotene. Beta carotene helps to have healthy eyes. Exercise for blood circulation to make sure the eyes get enough oxygen for function. Don't ever rub your eyes. Just blink your eyelids. It is a good exercise to the eyes. Drink at least 12 glasses of water to avoid any kind of puffiness in the eyes. Hope these tips are helpful.

Aluminum in deodorant

Aluminum is a common ingredient in deodorant and antiperspirant. It is linked to Alzheimer's disease, brain disorder, breast cancer etc. Aluminum compounds or aluminum salts, such as aluminum oxide are key ingredients in almost antiperspirant. They are powerful ingredients that close pores and stop sweat and odor. Antiperspirants may leave the outside of the body smelling fresh and clean but unfortunately toxins will remain inside your body. This explains that antiperspirants have been connected to problems with the sweat glands and lymph glands in and around the underarms.

I stopped using deodorant that contains aluminum. I am using now Naturally Fresh crystal deodorant. It is 100% all pure and natural and does not contain toxic ingredients. It is made of pure mineral salts that provide 24-hour odor protection, fragrance-free, and non-staining. It allows the pores in our armpit to excrete toxins naturally.

The Fat Loss Guru

Losing weight takes a lot time and hardship. There are many ways for losing weight nowadays like taking weight loss products, exercising, following fat loss plans and many others. These ways should always involve serious commitment. There many overweight people lost hope that they can lose weight with full commitment while others become paranoid and disgusted with their bodies, which affects their relationship with other people.

Are you trying to lose weight? If you have a positive outlook for this matter, I will congratulate you. One should have a good perspective on losing weight. As I said, it involves commitment, thus, it is voluntary—it should come from your heart. So, you can dedicate yourself to losing weight. Better yet to consult a doctor before you jump into such any program because it can be harmful if you just do it on own your way or if you do not know what you are doing. Let me recommend Dr. Raj Banerjee--- The Fat Loss Guru at TheFatlLossGuru.com. This is not like Jenny Craig--- which takes longer for you to lose weight and involves eating only selected foods. He has been serving many patients for over 10 years now. His patients had successfully lost weight by simply following his fat loss and wellness plans. He designed a long-term weight loss program for those who are suffering from obesity, hormone imbalances, & serious health problems. There are many overweight people who are calorie conscious. They skip meals especially, breakfast, which is the most important meal of the day. They tend to be cut their carbs intake too. They don’t know that there are good and bad carbs. By doing Banerjee’s wellness plans—you will be able to understand more about your problem. In this program, “you will eat more and still lose weight”. You don’t have to follow any Weight Watchers Plan. Because you can still eat the food that you love. Isn’t it great that you will still be able to eat more? His program doesn’t forbid you from eating at all. He guarantees that if you just follow his fat loss program, you will be able to see some differences fast.

Reducing calories

Are you calorie-conscious? There are ways to reduce calories. I am not conscious of calories as I am not big. I tiny bulges in my abdomen; I just have to exercise so I can get rid of them. haha Anyway, as I said, there are ways to reduce calories in our diet. Take these steps to losing weight. First, include more vegetables in your diet. I really love vegetables and they more tasty than meat. Vegetables can be boring sometimes but you'll get used to it. When you eat more raw vegetables, the fewer calories you'll get. Second, avoid snacks in between meals, especially junk foods. When you eat junk foods be sure to read the Nutritional facts-- avoid high saturated fats, sodium and cholesterol. Those are bad for you. It is funny how my husband always says that those are "junk, crap and garbage". Third, dairy products-- always look for low fat and non-fat ones and as much as possible, get the organic kind. Those are my tips for today! Enjoy and good luck!

Vegetables salad

Do you like salad? The other day, I had vegetables salad on the other day. I loved it! I liked Soup Plantation, they have a huge salad bar. But you have to be picky when it comes to this situation. Here are many tips I got from Yahoo to get a healthy salad; less fat and calories:

  • Go dark on greens
  • Go bright on veggies: Next, add about 1 cup of the most colorful crudités - broccoli, carrots, cherry tomatoes, green and red peppers, beets, like that.
  • Choose lean proteins: Aim for about ½ cup of these. Chickpeas and kidney beans are nifty sources of fat-free protein (6 grams each). Sliced hard-boiled eggs (8 grams) are another smart choice; just limit the yolk to limit the fat
  • Sprinkle on extra flavor and crunch: Like cheese
  • Dressing: Now swirl on about 1 tablespoon of heart-healthy olive oil, a splash of vinegar, a grating of pepper, and toss.
That's all enjoy your salad!!!

Springtime Tips

Springtime is the season of allergies. Pollens are every where. If you are susceptible to allergies, then I have a few tips for you.

  • Stay indoors on dry, windy days — the best time to go outside is after a good rain, which helps clear pollen from the air.
  • No lawn mowing, weed pulling and other gardening chores
  • Remove clothes you've worn outside. You may also want to shower to rinse pollen from your skin and hair.
  • Ban your pets from your bed or couch.
  • Don't hang laundry outside — pollen can stick to sheets and towels.
  • If you do outside chores, wear a dust mask.
  • Run the air conditioning in your house and car.
  • Vacuum carpets weekly
More springtime tips later....

Tea

Do you love tea? I love tea especially flavored fruits. I really like the celestial seasonings brand. It is 100% natural. And it is more flavorful than other brands. Study shows that tea contains flavonoid compounds that lower the risk of developing cancer especially ovarian cancer. It protects the cell from DNA damage and helps normalize cell growth. Kaempferol, a flavonoid found in tea, however, can also be found in broccoli, kale and spinach and luteolin, which are provided by peppers, carrots, cabbage and celery, were both recognized as cancer protective. The more vegetables we eat, the less risk we are prone to cancer or diseases. Therefore, it is highly recommended to include a wide variety of vegetables and fruits in our diet; exercising regularly and controlling weight.

Detoxification

I started to be more conscious with my health when I became a vegetarian. And now I am on the way to be a vegan. It takes time, efforts and sacrifices to go that route. But once you are there, it’s worth it. Today, I would to talk to about detoxification. Detoxification is the removal of toxic substances in our body. This may sound so vague to you. You might be thinking about taking some cleansing medicine. Well, I have another alternative for you. They are detox foods that contain cleansing agents. Eating clean will give you a fresh start.
  • Green Leafy vegetables- I love these vegetables, especially
  • “Malunggay”. I know malunggay has cleansing effects to our body. It can even heal a wound. Eat the green leafy vegetables raw, throw them into a broth, and add them to juices. Their chlorophyll helps mop out ecological toxins (heavy metals, pesticides) and protects the liver.
  • Lemons - It contains vitamin C- the detox vitamin. It helps convert the toxics to a water soluble substance so it can easily be flushed away.
  • Green Tea- I love tea. This antioxidant-rich brew is one of the healthiest ways to get more fluids into your system. It contains catechin that speed up liver activities
  • Broccoli sprouts - They are 20 to 50 times more cancer-fighting, enzyme-stimulating activity into each bite than the grown-up vegetable.
  • Cabbage - There are two main types of detoxifying enzymes in the liver; this potent veggie helps activate both of them. I love cabbage so much, may it be raw or cooked.
  • Fruits - rich in vitamin C, fiber, nutritious fluids, and all kinds of antioxidants.
  • Garlic - it gives benefits to cardio or heart, it activates liver enzymes that help filter out junk. I really love garlic. I don’t know if I can eat without it. Hehe just teasing. I love roasted garlic. It is so mouthwatering.

That’s all people! Make sure you have these foods in your list before you go to the grocery. Have a good chow!

Tips to improve emotional health

Tips to improve emotional health

Do you feel oversensitive sometimes? You might be thinking that something is really wrong with you. Well, I hope this article helps and guides you in improving your emotional health.

Recognize your emotions and trace the root cause. Sort out the causes of sadness, stress and anxiety in your life. These are the following helpful tips:

Express your feelings in appropriate ways. If feelings of stress, sadness or anxiety are causing physical problems, keeping these feelings inside can make you feel worse. It’s OK to let your loved ones know when something is bothering you. Sometimes, we tend to displace our emotions so bad. More often, we use any escapes to deal with our emotions. We have to face our emotions and feel it. Share it with God.

Live a balanced life. Try not to obsess about the problems at work, school or home that lead to negative feelings. This doesn’t mean you have to pretend to be happy when you feel stressed, anxious or upset. It’s important to deal with these negative feelings, but try to focus on the positive things in your life too. You may want to use a journal to keep track of things that make you feel happy or peaceful. Some research has shown that having a positive outlook can improve your quality of life and give your health a boost. You may also need to find ways to let go of some things in your life that make you feel stressed and overwhelmed. Make time for things you enjoy.

Calm your mind and body. Relaxation methods, such as meditation, are useful ways to bring your emotions into balance. Meditation is a form of guided thought. It can take many forms. For example, you may do it by exercising, stretching or breathing deeply. Ask your family doctor for advice about relaxation methods.

Take care of yourself. To have good emotional health, it’s important to take care of your body by having a regular routine for eating healthy meals, getting enough sleep and exercising to relieve pent-up tension. Avoid overeating and don’t abuse drugs or alcohol. Using drugs or alcohol just causes other problems, such as family and health problems.

All the things I mentioned here are helpful. It takes courage and time to be emotionally healthy.
