Staying Well and Fit: Health Tips

Power of Hot Peppers to Fight Obesity

<br />
<br />
<br />
Capsaicin is the compound found in spicy hot peppers which makes them spicy hot. It has been found to have many health benefits, and the new research on its relation to mitigating obesity is exciting.<br />
<br />
         Obesity is caused by an imbalance between calorie intake and energy dissipation. In our bodies, white fat cells store energy and brown fat cells serve as thermogenic (heat produced by burning fat) machinery to burn stored fat. Eating calorie-rich food and a lack of physical activity cause an imbalance in metabolism that leads to obesity.<br />

hot peppers have been found to aid weight loss in several other ways. Previous research has linked capsaicin (specifically in cayenne pepper) to appetite suppression, and reduced cravings throughout the day. Hot peppers in general have been associated with boosting metabolism.<br />
Hot peppers, including cayenne, chiles, serranos, jalapenos and all your frightfully-hot favorites, are also high in antioxidants, which help keep oxidative stress and inflammation down. Chronic inflammation has been linked to accumulation of belly fat, along with many other illnesses. These peppers are also great for detoxifying the body – an important step in healthy weight loss.<br />
<br />
Whether you are trying to lose weight or not, with all the health benefits of the many amazing hot peppers out there, it may be worth it to include some in your diet somewhere, even in small amounts. A little bit of fire may be just what that recipe needed!

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Too much heat can cause a lot of computer problems, particularly in portable machines. While manufacturers go to great lengths so their products will stay cool, there are still factors that cause computer temperatures to go beyond normal, resulting in more need for laptop repairs</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">But how can you tell if your computer is getting too hot?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> indications of overheating include the appearance of BSOD (Blue Screen of Death), freezing, and randomly shutting down. You may also notice a decline in performance – your computer may be running much slower than usual, for instance, or there is increased incidence of it restarting automatically. These may occur while your computer is performing one or several demanding tasks, since heavy apps tend to make your CPU and GPU work more. You may, of course, feel that your laptop is a bit hotter than usual, but if you want a more precise temperature check, you can use a temperature monitor.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">If you’re familiar with using your BIOS, you may be able to see your unit’s temperature in the BIOS screen. You can also use software programs and hardware devices to observe your unit’s heat level , such as HW Monitor , Core Temp , SpeedFan , and Temperature Monitor for Mac . However, your computer must be equipped with thermal sensors in order for these to work. You can also use devices like a heat probe and a temperature gun</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">But rather than waiting for your computer to heat up too much, it’s recommended that you take steps to keep your laptop cool , including:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Letting your laptop breathe. Make sure that you use your computer where there is enough air flow. Using your machine on a pillow or mattress, unfortunately, obstructs the cooling system, so it’s not advisable to use it in bed. If you do wish to use your computer in bed, then place it on something that will allow cool air to get in and hot air to get out. Also, if you think it’s getting too much heat or too much dirt in your favourite location, such as by the window where it’s getting too much direct sunlight, you may need to move your area of work</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">There are cooling pads designed with fans to blow air on the underside of your unit. You can also opt for cooling mats that draw heat away from your machine.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Keeping your computer clean. One of the most common causes of overheating is accumulation of dust and dirt. Make sure to regularly dust your unit, especially the ventilation openings, and regularly take it to a service technician for internal cleaning if you’re untrained to do it yourself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">If you suspect that your computer is always getting too hot, then it’s a good time to back up your files, if you haven’t been doing so already</span></div>

8 TIPS FOR LOSING THAT STUBBORN BELLY FAT

One of the most frustrating parts of your body is the belly; it never seems to want to shape up like the rest of you! And it’s not like you’re asking for a six-pack to scrub your laundry on, you just want to make sure those cut-offs fit without a baker’s dozen rolling over the waistband. Totally makes sense, we all want this.<br />
<br />
Here’s the thing: it’s not all sit ups and exercise balls (did you just give a big sigh of relief?). Getting rid of stubborn belly fat includes a focused diet and a healthy lifestyle, but here’s the thing, these aren’t big changes. These are things you can do every day that will help you lose belly fat, and even better, improve your life in general. It’s like the ultimate life hack!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>1. Sleep Right</b><br />
<br />
The fat in your belly hides deep between your organs and is known as visceral fat, it’s quite a pesky beast. A study conducted by Wake Forest University showed that five hours or less of sleep per night can increase your levels of visceral fat. Makes getting a full 8 hours even more enticing, doesn’t it?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>2. Keep that Schedule:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It might be a hard habit to break, but you need to try to keep a steady sleep schedule. That means not sleeping in on the weekends (plus side: you can get to brunch on time, for once!). Women who keep a sleep schedule have less body fat. Your body has a harder time regulating itself when its internal clock is off. Stress, anxiety, and headaches can all be caused by throwing your internal clock off as well, so this isn’t important just for belly fat, but your entire body.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>3. Increase Your Protein, Lower Your Carbs:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Believe it or not, protein is your friend (say hello to pork chops) and carbs are your frenemy (croissant how could you?!). A diet high in protein is helpful in protecting you from your body producing too much insulin, which in turn, promotes fat storage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Carbs, on the other hand, can cause the glucose in your blood to rise rapidly, which signals your pancreas to produce a large amount of insulin to get that glucose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We’re not saying cut carbs, but if you’re really trying to shed some fat, consider skipping the morning pastry to help even out your protein and carbs intake.</div>

5 FOODS THAT CAN REDUCE YOUR RISK FOR CANCER

We know know that one of the most effective ways to reduce your risk for breast cancer is to be cautious about how you take care of your body and what you put in it. While there is no single food that can stop you from getting cancer, research indicates that what you eat can strengthen your immune system, helping your body fight disease and keeping your risk low.<br />
In order to keep your body in fighting shape, be sure to get in at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity exercise per week and include the following foods that have been proven to help prevent breast cancer.<br />
<br />
1. Orange and Yellow Foods:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtwn08J-RwxoCvf71J11lhq4_3OABGiPV7VVPhyphenhyphenXH0aO3eJaVjBCxTbeWpmVYHacvC4_z4Y-pML-iu29OadOc6uqF4V1A9fEF-IrQM8uK-w4ctoi8JN28U2hq-AbSEPu2Z1N5jIylLPC-1/s1600/pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtwn08J-RwxoCvf71J11lhq4_3OABGiPV7VVPhyphenhyphenXH0aO3eJaVjBCxTbeWpmVYHacvC4_z4Y-pML-iu29OadOc6uqF4V1A9fEF-IrQM8uK-w4ctoi8JN28U2hq-AbSEPu2Z1N5jIylLPC-1/s320/pic.jpg" width="316" /></a></div>
<br />
Sure all fruits and vegetables are great disease busters but when it comes to breast cancer, orange and yellow produce appear to have an edge. A study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute concluded that women that had high amounts of carotenoids (the pigment that gives orange fruits and veggies their color) may be at reduced risk for cancer. Give your body a boost by including at least 2 servings of carrots, paw paw, sweet potatoes, pumpkin and other orange and yellow fruits and vegetables a day.<br />

</script>
2. Cruciferous Vegetables<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL1ci4HUzUjIq9ewcl4HbLJ-JRDdg1VKRLMO7gIJ_a-U2NmjANdyWI5iCzkneA5PTUg6QRGY7eAqZ64jPLKKxtYWmoBxyuCupv3QNjOSx2DswAhBHhCpqr_ZPocppAFJ58IRVtgLwSvajj/s1600/pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL1ci4HUzUjIq9ewcl4HbLJ-JRDdg1VKRLMO7gIJ_a-U2NmjANdyWI5iCzkneA5PTUg6QRGY7eAqZ64jPLKKxtYWmoBxyuCupv3QNjOSx2DswAhBHhCpqr_ZPocppAFJ58IRVtgLwSvajj/s320/pic.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
           There’s a reason to add cabbage, cauliflower, kale, broccoli, collard greens, turnips and other vegetables from the brassica family to your diet. Rich in the sulfur-rich compounds known as glucosinolates, these vegetables protect the body from breast and other cancers by inactivating cancer causing agents and protecting the body from cell damage. But, how should you cook them? Boiling tends to destroy the disease fighting properties. Steam or lightly saute cruciferous vegetables to retain the full nutritive value. Also, adding a dab of olive oil may increase the amount of nutrients the body absorbs.<br />
3. Fatty Fish<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwZMRGUuFo7ntPg0VHvSSAGFSZpgAfIdCdp9-Ug3eKleF5lxfomURdwMf7LQQlV2ppM4X4-OK933j_Y3y_ZZk0RorjOEV090qdgHs3vtTfwQaeyKP2vB6LEZqwGpB2ntiJ1JdxLkIAIYRC/s1600/pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwZMRGUuFo7ntPg0VHvSSAGFSZpgAfIdCdp9-Ug3eKleF5lxfomURdwMf7LQQlV2ppM4X4-OK933j_Y3y_ZZk0RorjOEV090qdgHs3vtTfwQaeyKP2vB6LEZqwGpB2ntiJ1JdxLkIAIYRC/s320/pic.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
        Nigerian favorite fish such as mackerel and sardines are rich sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, which although are represented with conflicting information, may be a strong ally in the prevention of cancer. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation, suppress the formation and growth of tumors and keep cells healthy. Get regular doses of this essential nutrient by substituting 2-3 servings of fish for red meat every week. Besides sardines and mackerel, herring, trout, whitebait, cod and salmon are great additions. Plant-based sources of omega 3 fatty acids include chia seeds, flax and walnuts. Enjoy the nuts in small portions and sprinkle 1-3 spoons of the seed in your cereal or smoothie.<br />
<br />
4. Curcumin<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPAvMgo_DVvazyEHgbsYId2AobV7kSKbQLsPEF7AiohfVTnHHcNXGB5FsV_KtR-hPCYRsISJyBmRtV4JSRVwcv9m6x9nBpd01cO56fa5q3SpxV9pcSruuVx8h7qXDDh90n7kym4ex6qzBo/s1600/pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPAvMgo_DVvazyEHgbsYId2AobV7kSKbQLsPEF7AiohfVTnHHcNXGB5FsV_KtR-hPCYRsISJyBmRtV4JSRVwcv9m6x9nBpd01cO56fa5q3SpxV9pcSruuVx8h7qXDDh90n7kym4ex6qzBo/s320/pic.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
           Yet another yellow/orange food with terrific benefits. In animal studies, Curcumin, an anti-oxidant found in turmeric slows the growth and spread of cancer. Human studies are underway and appear promising at this time. Reap the potential benefits of curcumin by adding turmeric to your stews, grating a small piece into your salad or adding a small chuck for some spice and glam to your favorite smoothie.<br />

<br />
           When most people think of garlic, they think of the powerful scent it exudes. Turns out the same allyl sulfides that give it that pungent smell help the body cycle cells and interrupts the cells that may become cancerous. Fortunately, you do not have to eat the whole bulb to reap the benefits, the World Health Organization recommends that people consume a daily dose of 2 to 5 g of fresh garlic (approximately one clove), 0.4 to 1.2 g of dried garlic powder, 2 to 5 mg of garlic oil, 300 to 1,000 mg of garlic extract, or other formulations that are equal to 2 to 5 mg of allicin.<br />
Rev up your body’s defense system by including these foods in your diet today.<br />
Here’s to your health!

So how do this wholesome treat help shrink your waistline? Let’s find out.<br />
<br />

Explanation<br />
<br />
The research involve two groups of participants who all had high LDL or bad cholesterol levels. The two groups followed a healthy diet for 12 weeks. For the first 6 weeks, the first group ate 1.5-ounce portion of almonds for snacks, while the other group ate a carbohydrate-rich muffin for snacks. The two groups were given the same diet, except for the snack. Then the groups switched snacks for the second 6 weeks, but also followed the same diet.<br />
<br />
The study revealed that when the 2 groups snacked on the almonds rather than the muffins, their total cholesterol level and LDL were both reduced. Also, eating the almonds raised their good or HDL cholesterol levels, while eating the muffin decreased their HDL levels.<br />
<br />
<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7757537488267773" data-ad-slot="7898105447" style="display: inline-block; height: 90px; width: 728px;"></ins><script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

It is important to note that, though overall body weight did not change when the participants consumed almonds rather than muffins, their belly fat and waist circumference went down.<br />
<br />
Both the almonds and muffin contained nearly the same number of calories, 253 and 273 respectively and both diets had the same overall number of calories.<br />
<br />
Conclusion<br />
<br />
The study revealed that it’s not just the quantity that constitute a healthy diet, but rather the quality of calories. Almonds are rich in fiber, protein and vitamin E nutrients compared to muffins. So the next time you reach for a snack, opt for nutrient-rich ones.<br />
<br />
Also past studies have shown that the nutrients in almonds can help improve the function of the cardiovascular system. Substituting almonds for less healthy snacks can help protect your heart and arteries while lowering your risk of carrying around too much belly fat.<br />

CASHEW NUTS NUTRITION FACTS

Cashew is one of energy rich nuts. Its kernels are excellent sources of minerals and vitamins.<br />
<br />
The toxin anacardic acid (urushiol) present in cashew apples, shells, and nuts is responsible for allergic reactions.<br />
Delicately sweet yet crunchy and delicious cashew nut is packed with energy, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins that are essential for robust health. Cashew, or “caju” in Portuguese, is one of the popular ingredients in sweet as well savory dishes worldwide.<br />
Health benefits of Cashew nuts<br />
Cashews are high in calories. 100 g of nuts provide 553 calories. They are packed with soluble dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals and numerous health-promoting phyto-chemicals that help protect from diseases and cancers.<br />
<br />
They are rich in “heart-friendly” monounsaturated-fatty acids like oleic, and palmitoleic acids. These essential fatty acids help lower harmful LDL-cholesterol while increasing good HDL cholesterol in the blood. Research studies suggest that Mediterranean diet which is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids help to prevent coronary artery disease and strokes by favoring healthy blood lipid profile.<br />

</script>
Cashew nuts are abundant sources of essential minerals. Minerals, especially manganese, potassium, copper, iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium are concentrated in these nuts. A handful of cashew nuts a day in the diet would provide enough of these minerals and may help prevent deficiency diseases. Selenium is an important micronutrient, which functions as a co-factor for antioxidant enzymes such as Glutathione peroxidases, one of the most powerful antioxidants in the body. Copper is a cofactor for many vital enzymes, including cytochrome c-oxidase and superoxide dismutase (other minerals function as co-factors for this enzyme are manganese and zinc). Zinc is a co-factor for many enzymes that regulate growth and development, gonadal function, digestion, and DNA (nucleic acid) synthesis.<br />

<br />
Cashews are also good in many essential vitamins such as pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), riboflavin, and thiamin (vitamin B-1). 100 g nuts provide 0.147 mg or 32% of daily-recommended levels of pyridoxine. Pyridoxine reduces the risk of homocystinuria, and sideroblastic anemia. Niacin helps prevent "pellagra" or dermatitis. Additionally, these vitamins are essential for metabolism of protein, fat, and carbohydrates at the cellular level.<br />
<br />
Further, the nuts are also hold a small amount of zea-xanthin, an important pigment flavonoid antioxidant, which selectively absorbed into the retinal macula lutea in the eyes. It is thought to provide antioxidant and protective UV ray filtering functions and helps prevent age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) in the elderly.<br />

10 EFFECTIVE HABITS FOR WEIGHT LOSS

Ways to Lose Weight Without Even Trying<br />
Some of the most effective ways to drop a size or two don't involve exercising or restricting foods<br />
Losing weight takes a lot of sweat and discipline, but even if you're not powering through a treadmill interval workout or counting calories, there are a lot of simple ways to see those pounds drop on the scale. Employing these 10 little tricks daily will help you lose weight, no gym or diet required.<br />
<br />
1. Start Each Meal With a Glass of Water: You'll stay hydrated and feel fuller instantly, which can help you from overeating.<br />
<br />
2. Make Simple Swaps: Going for a vinaigrette dressing instead of a Green Goddess dressing at lunch can save you 80 calories, while opting for fresh fruit instead of dried can save you dozens as well.<br />
<br />
3. Have a Piece of Dark Chocolate for Dessert: Instead of opting for the cookies in the break room, quiet your sugar cravings with a piece of dark chocolate. It may not feel quite as satisfying the first few times, but as you wean yourself off your sugar addiction, you'll be glad you're saving calories while having a healthy yet decadent treat.<br />
<br />
4. Be Diligent About Portion Control: If you want to lose weight, sticking to the right portions at every meal is important. Measure out snacks beforehand instead of eating from the bag, use smaller plates to visually signal that your meal will satisfy, and put away leftovers so you're not tempted to go back for seconds.<br />
<br />
5. Move More: Even if you're not dedicating an entire chunk of time to a workout, you can burn a few extra calories by making an effort to move a little more during the day. Taking breaks to walk around the office, opting for the stairs instead of the escalator, and parking a little farther from the office entrance are all simple ways to up your calorie burn.<br />
<br />
6. Don't Drink Your Calories: It's a common reason why you're not seeing results—those empty calories from a daily soda, morning juice, or large glass of wine at dinner can really add up. Stick to water flavored with a fresh ingredients like cucumber, lemon, or mint in order to save on important calories.<br />
<br />
7. Don't Go Hungry Too Long: A little hunger can be good for you, but starving yourself all day in order to "splurge" on dessert at night is both unhealthy and diet sabotage. Eat well-timed meals and snacks in order to avoid low blood sugar levels that cause you to crash.<br />
<br />

8. Snack on High-Protein, High-Fiber Foods: When it's time to snack, make your food work for you. Steer clear of the empty, high-calorie options like chips and crackers, and go for protein- and fiber-rich foods that taste good and fill you up too. You'll be able to eat fewer calories while still feeling satisfied. One of these 150-calorie snacks will surely hit the spot.<br />
<br />
9. Eat a Light, Early Dinner: Try to keep your dinner to about 25 percent of your daily calories, and have it at least two to three hours before going to bed. Eating too much too late can cause digestion and sleep issues that make it hard to stick to a healthy routine.<br />
<br />
10. Get More Sleep: Lack of sleep can cause you to eat more throughout the day and not have enough energy for your workouts, so aim for at least seven hours of sleep every night. It's an easy and effective way to keep your weight-loss goals on the right track<br />

BENEFITS OF SINGING IN THE SHOWER

First, singing is perfect for early in the day because it was important early in our lives. It's the earliest form of entertainment we experience. Mothers and fathers instinctively raise their infants with lullabies, and it actually helps prepare young brains to process language. So when you sing to yourself, you're calling back to a fundamental period in your life.<br />
<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<br />
<ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7757537488267773" data-ad-slot="7898105447" style="display: inline-block; height: 90px; width: 728px;"></ins><script>

</script>

<br />
At the same time, you do concrete good for your body in that moment. Researchers have found that singing (particularly in a choir) leads to a higher immune competence, meaning singers are less likely to catch the latest bug going around — a good corrective for the damage that a poor night's sleep might have done.<br />
<br />
Even more substantially, you do longterm good for your heart. People who sing (or even just surround themselves with singing) have lower cortisol levels than those who don't. Cortisol is linked to stress levels, which, in turn, are linked to heart health. Those who sing are far less stressed, and that means their hearts do better in the long run.<br />
<br />
Even beyond cortisol, singing has a massively positive effect on the heart and mind simultaneously — one similar to another early morning ritual: yoga. Another study led by Swedish musicologist Björn Vickhoff found that vocal cooing has a dramatic effect on heart rate variability, which leads to a reduced risk of heart disease. Vickhoff revealed to the Telegraph that it "gives you pretty much the same effect as yoga breathing."<br />
<br />
Like yoga, singing actually triggers the release of both endorphins and oxytocin in the brain. This release has a combined effect of simultaneously heightening your sense of pleasure while relieving anxiety and stress, much like the well-known yet elusive runners' high. And as in meditation, group singers' heart rates synch up when they sing together. Now watch this performance of "Seasons of Love" from Glee and think about the fact that their hearts are probably beating in time:<br />

<br />
<br />
Whether you've woken up on the wrong side of the bed or just had a bad day, shower singing gets to the core of the problem and helps turn those negative feelings around. Research proves that singing combats sadness, anxiety and depression. And in the long term, it's been tied to increased life expectancy and improved coping with chronic pain. So get the water temperature right, suds up and let it go.<br />

7 Steps To A Healthy Living

Healthy living is within your reach, starting today. Sure, healthy living is a long-term commitment, not a flash-in-the-pan fad. But there are steps you can take right now that will make today healthier than yesterday and pave the way for healthy living tomorrow, too.<br />
<br />
Here's your checklist of practical healthy living tips that are ready to go. Let's get started.<br />
<br />
Healthy Living Step No.<br />
<br />
1: Take stock.<br />
Your first step toward healthy living is to get a handle on your health status right now. Here's your to-do list:<br />
<br />
2. Make appointments with your doctor and dentist:<br />
Catch up on your routine screening and immunizations, and take the opportunity to ask your doctor any questions you might have.<br />
<br />
3. Gauge your girth: Measure your height and weight to check your BMI, and measure your waist circumference to see if you're overweight and if your waistline is putting your health at risk.<br />
<br />
4. Assess your activity: How much physical activity do you get in a typical week? How intense is that activity? How much variety do you get in your activity, and how much do you enjoy it? The CDC recommends that adults get at least two and a half hours per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or one hour and 15 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, plus muscle-strengthening activities at least two days per week.<br />
<br />
5. Keep a food diary: Write down everything you eat for a day - and no fair skipping the items you're embarrassed about. The idea is to write it down ... without judgment, You can't change what you're not aware of or don't acknowledge.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUiWbt589ystv4jdIRDvlIIdbf54dp4QHcLCkt8IuTWGeZAw9ipwXgwDhfqLX3vFC08Q8Nj_Y0m0dy2cy4-Rr1o8aSEpn2o1ZEJBplMNhjLT_nin3nKlDn850yfhl9OTmhJKznSSXdZUgN/s1600/pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUiWbt589ystv4jdIRDvlIIdbf54dp4QHcLCkt8IuTWGeZAw9ipwXgwDhfqLX3vFC08Q8Nj_Y0m0dy2cy4-Rr1o8aSEpn2o1ZEJBplMNhjLT_nin3nKlDn850yfhl9OTmhJKznSSXdZUgN/s1600/pic.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
6. Check your mood and energy: Healthy living includes emotional wellness and adequate rest. How has your mood been lately? Are you experiencing any symptoms of depression or anxiety? Do you usually sleep well for seven to eight hours a night?<br />
<br />
7. Consider your social network: How strong are your connections with family and friends? Are you plugged in with social or spiritual groups that enrich your life? People have a fundamental need for positive and lasting relationships.<br />
<br />
If you're not thrilled with the answers to some of those questions, remember that the point is to figure out where you are today so you can set your healthy living goals. It's not about being "good" or "bad," "right" or "wrong."

PLEASE STOP TAKING SODA!!!!

The following are ways to Stop drinking Soda for good:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdcHx7o1JoMrCSlB-jCEgoRSYHa-rdq9ORKtTpuWHMAiL9-PxnpX-QYcODMTHr8oMwpVJRX-dbKcek1WOLKbArz3FJCs_CjIbk-3avt534I7eJxYqv88nVxcYEQFjjerLTlF1JK0SmYwow/s1600/pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdcHx7o1JoMrCSlB-jCEgoRSYHa-rdq9ORKtTpuWHMAiL9-PxnpX-QYcODMTHr8oMwpVJRX-dbKcek1WOLKbArz3FJCs_CjIbk-3avt534I7eJxYqv88nVxcYEQFjjerLTlF1JK0SmYwow/s320/pic.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
You know soda's not exactly good for you—but at the same time, it can be hard to resist. Its sweet taste, pleasant fizz, and energizing jolt often seems like just what you need to wash down your dinner, get you through an afternoon slump, or quench your thirst at the movies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But the more soda you consume (regular or diet), the more hazardous your habit can become. And whether you're a six-pack-a-day drinker or an occasional soft-drink sipper, cutting back can likely have benefits for your weight and your overall health. Here's why you should be drinking less, plus tips on how to make the transition easier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The biggest risk for regular soda drinkers is the excess calories, says Lona Sandon, RD, assistant professor of clinical nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. "The calories in regular soda are coming entirely from added sugar, and you're not getting any value in terms of vitamins or minerals, or even good quality carbohydrates," she says. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinBFS9Ml-F3m2T_Oszohme6K7sava2M7ht3qKe1xKh7Y615Sa-rYq-Xc4KcPa52U0VkqlF4OQwO_5XdB_QBrkQqHXF3d_fLNy7UW4i0JI0AYM03MH4fJUwU6584bGJ4Z0bmBHH4mWGRVGJ/s1600/pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinBFS9Ml-F3m2T_Oszohme6K7sava2M7ht3qKe1xKh7Y615Sa-rYq-Xc4KcPa52U0VkqlF4OQwO_5XdB_QBrkQqHXF3d_fLNy7UW4i0JI0AYM03MH4fJUwU6584bGJ4Z0bmBHH4mWGRVGJ/s320/pic.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But soda may also be causing other types of harm. Studies have shown that its consumption is linked with tooth decay and diabetes, and it also seems to be bad for your bones. It may have something to do with the phosphorus in soda, or it could be that people are drinking soda instead of other beverages—like milk—that have nutrients necessary for healthy bones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
someone will ask,  But what about diet soda?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Sugar-free sodas may not have any calories, but that doesn't mean they're any good for you. In fact, they may not even help you lose weight. (Research on this topic has been mixed, at best, but several studies have shown that diet soda drinkers are more likely to be overweight or obese than regular soda drinkers.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Plus, diet drinks have many of the same health risks as regular soft drinks, including tooth decay and bone thinning, and they've also been linked to heart disease and depression in women. Switching to diet sodas may be a smart first step if you're trying to eliminate excess calories, but your best bet is to eventually give them up, too. </div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>These are the reason you should stop taking soda:<br />- it gives you ugly teeth (see the picture above)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The phosphoric acid in soda weakens your bones and rots your teeth so bad. There have been reports of people who have put a broken tooth in a bottle of soda and then in 10 days the acids in the soda dissolved the tooth completely.</div>

- You wouldn't drink toilet bowl cleaner would you?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If you got shitty toilet stains and nothing to clean it with then don't worry… Just use a can of soda and let the carbonic, citric, and phosphoric acids in soda breakdown the stains exactly the same way they weaken your bones and rot your teeth. You can also use soda to clean tough stains off vitreous china, soda removes grease stains from clothes, soda removes rust spots from chrome car bumpers and soda cleans corrosion off car battery terminals.</div>
