You know how much I hate headaches. Everything can cause them. Even when your body is relaxed, and your mind is somewhere deep in the ocean, the problem could come knocking on your door.

Headaches are common. People are addicted and can’t stop taking medications when they have one.
In my previous posts, I shared some preventive measures you can take for headache relief.
This time is different. Somehow I came to Dr. Sakib Quereshi. He is an experienced neurologist. The video you are about to see will explain everything you need to know about his work.
Dr. Sakib focuses on the warning signals your body sends while suffering from a headache. He makes sure you understand and can differentiate a pure pain and severe headache.
Take a look.
He’s got a point.

Headaches became trending this week. Everything moves around them.

Whenever I open up to read something new, there they are. Headaches and their possible cures.
Maybe the Internet wants to tell me something. This holiday season could give me lots of headaches.
I’m not worried. I’ve read and shared with you a couple of solutions. I’m ready.
Jokes aside, no one wants to feel this pain. However, every time you get a headache something is different.
I mean, the pain is there and takes over your head, but sometimes it’s a different spot and intensity.
Depending on that place where your head hurts the most, it might mean you are on the verge of developing a serious health problem.
Now, I don’t mean to scare you and stuff like that. I just want what’s best for you. That’s why I share these things.
If you are waking up with a headache every morning, you should check that up with your doctor. It could indicate sleep apnea, high blood pressure or even tumor in your brain.

Healthy food Star

Very often, headache types vary according to location. I have found the most common ones.

•      Pain only in the half of your head

If you suffer from constant headaches that target only one-half of your head, then it’s a sign of a migraine.
You will definitely recognize this pain because it’s constant and it could last up to 72 hours. The pain slowly starts with moderate strength. Then, it transforms into severe.
Nausea and sensitivity to noise and light are very common.

•      Feeling like someone squeezes your head

Have you been feeling a little bit tensed for the past few days? If yes, then this headache is from tension.
It holds that nervous medium intensity of pain while you are feeling like someone squeezes your head.
It occurs to large stress. You will feel better if you get some nice sleep.

•      Pain in one side of your face followed by swelling on the eyelids

This is called the seasonal headache. It’s strong and last in cycles. You could feel this pain from 2 weeks up to a month.
It comes and goes in a certain period of years. The duration of pain is different every day. But it usually occurs at the same time of the day or night.

•      Forehead Pain

Maybe this is the most common of all. Inflamed sinuses cause it. This pain could be felt from your cheekbones and up to your forehead.
In this case, take a steamy shower or do an inhalation. It will improve your condition right away.

•      Pain in the back of your head

If you are having problems with your spine or neck, it leads to a headache. This goes for those who have a sitting job.
This headache occurs from sitting for too long.
If you catch yourself not getting up for a longer period of time, get up. Stretch a little bit. Do some simple movements or stretching with your head.
This will definitely make you feel better.
There you have it. Some experts believe keeping a diary of your headaches will help you determine what’s wrong with you.
The diary should include how often your headache appears, at what time, the point of pain, how strong and how long it lasts.
Based on this, your doctor will be able to diagnose your headache.
Is someone of your friends suffering from a headache? – Show this to them.

A Natural Formula for Growing Your Nails at Home

All those manicure procedures you are doing on a regular basis are slowly damaging your nails.

I don’t know this for sure, but I can assure you it has its effect on the damages.
Visiting the nail salon once or twice a week can’t be a good sign. Plus, some women even go with artificial nails that increase the damages.
Let’s leave that for some other time. The damage is done, and now it’s not the time to cry for what happened and swear that it won’t happen again.
Nail treatments to get a new and healthy nail could be expensive. The procedure is a few hours a day for a couple of days. After that, you need to hope the nail grows healthy.
What I have here will help you regrow nails and grow them faster if you want big and beautiful nails for your manicure.
People, who had the same problem, tried all the home remedies you’ll see below. They left some excellent comments about how these treatments helped them.
So, you can try some of them. They are completely natural.
Here is the video:
Before I rap this up, I want to tell you something about maintaining healthy nails.
Maybe you don’t know this, but having healthy nails is not something we get from our parents or grand parents.
You have to keep an eye of your bad habits. Many people are still using their mouth to trim their nails. It’s extremely unhealthy for your organism and your nails.
The poor diet can also affect the health of your nails. Eating foods rich in protein, iron, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D. The road to healthy nails might be long, but productive.
Using too much and different excellence products or strong detergents without proper protection could also affect the health of your nails.
So, keep your nails as healthy as possible and you won’t feel the need of using remedies.

Is that time again? I can see some of your nails are broken or too thin. Why is that?

When we were little kids our parents often warned us about biting our nails. Everybody has done it. All those bacteria getting into our mouths. Ough! That’s really gross.
But we were just kids and that was one of the nastiest habits we could’ve achieved. The worst part is that many women still continue to bite their nails.
They know what to do. I don’t need to tell them they should quit immediately.
My mother always said that our nails are like mirrors to show how disciplined we are. How well we take care of our health and hygiene.
She was right. If you doubt this, let’s play a game. It’s a test actually. It has only one question.

What do you think of a woman with damaged and “rusty” nails?

I would like to see your answers in the comments section below.
No, visiting your manicure artist and money are not the problem. It’s the habits. You have developed the worst habits that are damaging your nails.

www.leadinglady.com

You don’t have to visit the manicurist every week to make your nails look perfect. It’s like covering something that’s already damaged.
When I say healthy nails I think of nail-care habits. You need to develop and do them every day.
You think this is too much to do? You brush your teeth every day, right? Your nails need good care, too.
They are not hard to do. I promise. They are very simple and helpful.
By doing these things every day, they will become our personal habits. Your nails will look shiny and “like new”. Everyone will want to know your secret.
Here they are.

1. Keep your hands clean

Your hands are always dirty. Everything you touch is covered with dust. That’s our enemy number 1. It’s really important to keep your hands clean as much as possible.
When you remove your nail polish, do it with acetone-free nail remover. Expensive scrubs with dangerous chemicals could damage your nails and skin.

2. Trim your nails regularly

Remember what I said about hygiene and brushing your teeth? Well, your nails require regular trimming. I know you want to have long nails.
Having long but damaged nails will not do you any good.

3. Don’t cut the cuticles

The first thing your manicure artist does is cutting your cuticles. This makes the nail vulnerable to bacteria and different infections.
The healthier way of removing the cuticles is pushing them back once a week. Use a wooden orange stick to do that. It’s preferable to do this after you get out of the shower.
It’s less painful then.

4. Be gentle on your nails

You know how soft they are. You need to be really gentle with them. Scrubbing them too roughly could damage them. It exposes them to bacteria.
Avoid using metal nail tools under the nail. Digging under them could separate the nails from the skin. This leads to irregular arch nail tip.

5. Prioritize nail health

Like I said before every woman wants to have long nails. They often think long nails mean healthy nails. This is wrong.
Long nails are exposed to snags or breakage. This is too painful and damaging for your nails. And they look ugly when they are broken.
Keep them short and round. They are easier to manage and keep them clean and healthy.

audubondermatology.com

6. Moisturize your nails

I like to think of them as they are part of my skin. When I’m moisturizing my skin I never forget to do the same with my nails.
If you want to use a homemade moisturizer, here is a recipe you can make – a mixture of avocado and almond oil. This will keep them moisturized overnight.

7. Protect your hands and nails

We are women. We do everything around the house with bare hands. Forget about this immediately. You need to protect them. They are often exposed to dangerous chemicals.
Use those protective gloves you can find everywhere.

8. Eat well

Yes. You need to eat healthy for your overall health. This includes your nails as well. You need to keep the keratin strong.
Enrich your diet with protein-rich food. There are tons of foods you can use that will help your nails and your overall health.
This is how I made my friend eat healthy. She was overprotective over her hands and nails. I mentioned that protein rich foods maintain good nail health and now her nails are even healthier.
You should see her nails. A true masterpiece!

9. Give your nails the break they deserve

Too much nail polish, wearing it for too long, changing different nail polish every day is wrong. You don’t give them an opportunity to rest.
Compare this to yourself. Can you carry something difficult 24 hours a day without rest? – It is even hard to imagine this. Give them the rest they deserve.

10. Keep yourself away from acrylic or gel manicures

Your acrylic nails really look astonishing. I’ll lie if I say otherwise. But they are really hard on the nails. Doing this to your nails, exposing them to the UV light, damages your skin around the nail.
It’s like a direct exposure to skin cancer. The UV light makes your skin very soft and prone to skin cancer.
This could be funny to you, but if you want to protect your skin, apply sunscreen factor 50 before you undergo this procedure.

11. Read the labels of the nail polish

It’s like picking up food. You read the labels. You need to make sure there isn’t anything that could damage your nails. Stay away from suspicious and toxic chemicals.
They are usually written as dibutyl phthalate, toluene, and formaldehyde.

12. Keep it “base coat”

The base is the best. It’s like the personal security of the nails. If you do your manicure don’t forget the base coat. It prevents staining of your nails.

13. Add gloss with a top coat

This is like going a step further with your manicure skills.
This is the final step to glossy nails. If you add another coating layer after 3 or 4 days, it will lower the risk of chipping your nails.

14. Take care of your nail tools

Disinfect them before using them. Wash the metal nail tools with soap and water. Wipe them up with rubbing alcohol.
Developing these habits in your beauty routine will help you with other things as well. It’s not just your nails, you can modify and use them for your hair treatment, makeup, etc.
Keep doing your best by keeping your overall health on a top level.
Do these things for a month. See if you can notice the change. I would be really happy if this helps you.
Now start doing them and don’t forget to tell your friends about this. They have nails, too!

A Neuroscientist Says “Pokémon GO” is Playing Games with Your Brain

Pokémon Go is like a disease. It took the lives of the people by storm.

Businesses started using this game to grow profits while people enjoy spending time outside.
It’s time for me to tell you that I started playing this game recently. This period is when I like morning jogs. I said, “why not”?
Since I started playing it, I regularly read stuff like Pokémon Go is good for your system, the game is not good for you, the game is taking over your life, and it’s a bad thing…

I felt like I’m going deep into some mental state without a way out.

virtualrealityobserver.com

It came out that the game is fresh and I don’t feel the addiction like some people.
The last thing that I’ve read is a statement from a neuroscientist. He says that Pokémon Go is messing with your brain.
It attacks certain neuro groups that make you experience pleasure and positive reinforcement. They stand guilty behind the addiction of drugs and junk food.
That’s why players quit their jobs, break into homes trying to catch rare Pokémons, and we see people hit by a car or falling off cliffs.
Elan Barenholtz, an associate professor in the Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences at Florida Atlantic University, admits that these virtual reality games are creating a dangerous path by offering a rewarding alternative to reality.

“It’s doing something really that drugs do in that it’s artificially stimulating your reward centers. We’re messing around with giving ourselves stimulants and feedback that we’ve never encountered before. And just like drugs, you never know where this is going to go.”
We’ve seen opinions like this earlier. In 1998, a study found that playing video games release levels of striatal dopamine.

It’s the right chemical that triggers the reward system. It’s often connected to the chemicals found in different kinds of drugs.
Another study from 2011 says that the brain of a 14-year-old video gamer looks similar to those who use drugs.
However, the last research shows how your brain reacts to video games when you play them in your room in front of the TV.
Barenholtz says that the old-school Play Station or X-Box games, in which you are aware that the behavior you see on the TV is not real, your mind measure the awards like “fake.”
On the other hand, playing Pokémon Go is different. Here is how:
“When you’re going out and running around in an environment, and you’re getting the video game feedback at the same time, you’re now recruiting a much richer representation, your brain is now falling for it in a much deeper way, even though you know cognitively it’s fake. Just like illusions, you know they’re wrong, but there’s a good chunk of your brain that buys them. I think you’re going to buy them more deeply now, so that should make the reward that much more compelling and that much more addictive.” – Barenholtz explains.
I find this speculative at this point. But, to understand the whole purpose of Pokémon Go you need to start playing it and see how interactive this game is.

The Neuroscientist adds:
“It’s like when you watch a movie, you know it’s fake and if somebody’s telling a story you know it’s made up, but here you’re engaging your whole body, and you’re moving around, and it’s no longer something you have to imagine or make up. “It’s almost real life. It’s much closer to reality.”

A New 7-Days Lemon Diet Will Detox and Burn Fat

Today I’m going to show you a simple detox drink that will fit right into your diet.

It doesn’t require much from you. It’s an effective way to release the fat and detoxify your body.
The main ingredient of this drink is the lemon. It’s the super fruit back at it again with its ability to remove the toxins from the digestive track.

Reading through the blog posts and comments on different forum subjects, I can see that lots of people are satisfied form this drink.

One woman said that this became her routine. She prepares the night before consumption.
Even the label of the lemon diet says that you need to consume it, especially in the morning to detoxify your body.

Before I head down to the diet, let remind ourselves of all the benefits you can get from consuming lemon.

Organic Facts

Now, the simple 7-days lemon diet that will become your routine and habit.

Day 1: Magic on an Empty Stomach

Take a glass from the shelve and fill it with warm water. The water should be brought to a drinkable mild level. Put the lemons inside and let it sit for a few minutes.
This will give you an opportunity to finish up your morning routine.
After that, drink up!
You should do the same thing in the afternoon on an empty stomach. Don’t get confused here. You should have breakfast. Consuming a glass of this lemon juice should be half an hour before you consume lunch.

Day 2: Detoxify and Mineralize!

Strengthen up your day with a mineral water.
Repeat the procedure of drinking one glass of the lemon juice in the morning and afternoon. During the day, consume 2-3 liters of mineral water. You can add fruit in the mineral water for better results.

Day 3: Richer Lunch

Don’t avoid the lemon water on an empty stomach in the morning. The only change here is that you are allowed to drink the warm lemon water during lunch.
You should continue drinking mineral water with lemon.

Day 4 and Day 5: Repeating the Process

Follow the same program from Day 3.

Day 6: Limiting

Follow the same plan from Day 3, but limit your lemon juice intake to 2 glasses in a day.
I prefer to be in the morning and before dinner.

Day 7: The Habit

The final day of this diet should make you drink lemon water on an empty stomach in the morning.
It should become a habit you will enjoy the rest of your life.
Consume only one glass of this lemon water in the morning, and you are ready to go.
Don’t forget to drink 2-3 liters a day to keep your body and soul hydrated.
There you go. The 7-day lemon diet that will detox your body and burn fat.

You thought you will never gain back fat, didn’t you?

You’ve gained some weight and you can notice that on your back.
Let me say one thing: It’s not the end of the world.
I won’t lie it’s harder to get rid of it, but I know you are up for the challenge!
This whole “how to” post is all about your back fat.
When a problem pops up you need to do your best to find the proper solution.
I’ve tried to complete a full training resume for all of you to get that fat off your back.
I’m sharing this with you because 3 months ago my friend approached me saying that she messed up really bad.

I thought she killed someone or cheated her boyfriend, but turns out to be something else.
She completely forgot to pay attention on her back and it’s all messed up.


I did some research and completed the final training resume just for her.
Here we are now, 90 days later, and she is happy again.
That being done, I said to myself why not sharing this with all of you?
Who doesn’t want to look fit from any angle?
Let’s get it on!

First Month

Week 1

It’s important for you to prepare your body for what’s coming for the next 3 months.
Starting with something basic or as they say Beginner’s exercises is always the best.
I know you seek immediate results, but you just have to work to see them!
For beginner’s level do it like this:
– Perform every round for 1 minute with 45 seconds rest between rounds.

Day 1: Reverse Fly (Beginner’s Level – 4 Rounds)

Day 2: Standing Twist (Beginner’s Level – 4 Rounds)

Day 3: Alternating Superman (Beginner’s Level – 4 Rounds)

Day 4: Rest day or Yoga

Yes, you have to have a rest day. My friend was doing yoga because it helped her spiritually and helped her tighten up those loose ends on her body.
It came up pretty well!

Day 5: Seal Jumping Jacks (Beginner’s Level – 4 Rounds)

Day 6: Bent-Over Dumbbell Rows with a Twist

Day 7: REST

It’s Sunday, so go out for a walk with you family or friends!

Week 2

It’s time for updating the tempo a little bit.
– Perform every exercise for 1 minute and rest 30 seconds between rounds

Day 1: Mix Day 1 and Day 2 from Week 1

Day 2: Mix Day 2 and Day 3 from Week 1

Day 3: Yoga

Day 4: Mix Day 3 and Day 4 from Week 1

Day 5: Mix Day 4 and Day 5 from Week 1

Day 6: Mix Day 5 and Double Day 6 from Week 1

Day 7: Deserved REST!

Week 3:

Are you up for a bigger challenge?
– Increase the tempo and rest 15 to 20 seconds between rounds.
Do Week 2 all over again with the new increased tempo.
How do you feel so far?
Is your back getting tighter?
In case you forgot, it’s still important to keep your diet healthy. Don’t think that if you exercise your back the fat will vanish right away if you eat whatever you want.
Change your daily habits and keep up with healthy food.
It’s really important for you to get rid of the back fat in your kitchen.
Ready for week 4?

Week 4:

Congratulations for holding up this far!
You are on the right track for losing the back fat.
Now, let’s do another mix before we change the exercises.
This time, I want you to reduce the rest time to 15 seconds and bring in the cardio in play.
The cardio could be running, fast walking or riding a bicycle.

Day 1: Mix Day 6 and Day 1 from Week 1

Day 2: Mix Day 5 and Day 5 from Week 1

Day 3: Mix Day 4 and Day 4 from Week 1

Day 4: Yoga

Day 5: Cardio

Day 6: Do the ultimate finish: Mix Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6!

Day 7: Celebrating REST day.

Month 2

Now you are ready to change the routine.
It’s important for you to do some variations.
BTW, are you keeping your diet healthy?
Make sure you remember all exercises because you will need them through this month.
You are already prepared from month 1 so let’s see what kinds of challenges are “hidden” in this month.
Let’s go:

Week 1:

You’ll need 2-4 sets of dumbbells, chair, exercise ball, interval timer and a yoga mat.

Day 1:

Complete 3 circuits of these exercises you will see below. 12 reps rounds up one exercise.
10 seconds rest between exercises.
The rest period between circuits is 30 seconds.

Warm up: Seal jumps – 20 reps (perform once)

Bent-Over Row – 12 Reps

– 10 seconds rest

Single Arm Dumbbell Rows – 12 reps each arm

– 10 seconds rest

Push-Ups – 20 reps

Do it all over again for 2 more times!
Here are the videos that will help you make the exercises. Watch them before you start:

Bent-Over Row

Single Arm Dumbbell Rows

Push Ups

Day 2: Fat Burning Workout (Tabata Intervals)

The proper formula:
– Complete the whole routine 2 times

Now let’s head over the last 30 days and make everyone’s jaw drop.

Month 3

Tremendous work so far!
Your back fat is already screaming out.
It felt very comfortable sitting on your back for too long.

A Potato Diet: Is It a Dangerous Vow To Make?

Before I show you what this diet holds, I need to tell you that variety is the key to achieving any goal connected with food.

You need various foods to get all the needed nutrients for a healthy life.
Now, meet Andrew Flinders Taylor. He is a 36-year-old “wannabe sportsman” who is not very satisfied by his fitness.

This is called the SpudFit project. He vowed to eat only potatoes for 365 days. Yep. That’s right. Only potatoes and a little bit of seasoning with them. For the whole 2016!





According to him, he is determined to change the way he thinks about food. He doesn’t want to let it control his life. The food is fuel, that’s it.

He told this for 9news.com.au.

The best thing for this challenge is that Andrew is sharing his vow with all of his followers. He posts series of pictures and videos on Facebook and YouTube.

His first video was him telling the world he is not satisfied with the way he looks and with his weight.
So, he decides to pick one food and stick with it for a year.




Andrew declared 2016 as the year of the spud. He wants to show the world that potatoes are a healthy food once and for all. All of his calories will come from potatoes.

He doesn’t prepare his food with oil and won’t monitor his calorie intake. He will eat as much as he needs to satisfy his appetite.

In the first couple of weeks, Mr. Taylor already lost 10 pounds.

Is there any danger in this?

Here come the experts.
According to Dr. Joanna McMillan, Andrew’s diet will have an adverse impact on his health. There is no food on this planet that will give you all of the nutrients your body needs to function and support your body.

He is getting a huge amount of carbohydrates, but not proteins or fat. The first couple of weeks he doesn’t feel the need, but later on, he will fall short on zinc, iron, iodine, calcium, omega 3 fats, antioxidants, and few other vitamins.
This is where the danger comes. Without these nutrients, the body could become vulnerable to many diseases.

Andrew has answered this concern by saying that he is not seeing any potential risk. In fact, he is even getting the support from his doctor who is monitoring his healthy during this diet.

He remains positive and determined to finish this journey. He is driven and motivated by the desire to change the way he feels and sees food.

Andrew finished by saying that he is doing this as an experiment for him. He is not trying to promote this or make someone join him on the journey.

A Research Suggests That Diet is More Effective than Exercise

The first thing we need to address is: do you want to lose weight?

If the answer to this question is affirmative, then you need to be prepared to change the way you eat food and exercise.

You know what bugs me off every time? – People who think that they can eat everything and go to the gym hoping they will lose weight.

I don’t know if this is their friends and talking, but it’s wrong.


It’s awesome that you are visiting the gym. However, you need to know that the exercise has a small impact on your calorie management. A 100% of the calorie intake comes from food, right?
The exercises you do can burn as much as 10% to 30% of the total daily calorie intake. And that’s not all.

People think that they need to eat food right after they finished exercising because they overestimate how many calories they burned.

The study shows how people accept many unhealthy behaviors that give opposite effects on the minimal benefits you got by doing exercises.

These actions can be seen everywhere around you and include taking a bus all the way to your home, taking the elevator instead the stairs, lying down in front of the TV after a good gym session instead walking with your dog or friends, and much more.

It means that you are making things even worse, and you will end up gaining weight.
Don’t blame the gym, blame you for not taking care.

We came to the point where we concluded that the exercise is not the way to lose weight, it only helps the process if you are doing it right.

So, how do I lose weight?

Good question.


The secret to the weight loss hides in your diet. When I said earlier that 100% of the calorie comes from your diet, I meant it.

A simple cardio workout of 30 minutes will make you lose 350 calories. That’s equal to one can of soda. Eliminating it from your diet will save you time, and all that comes with it.

A study from 2011 says that the physical activity is an indigent determinant of obesity.

When you see an obese person, the first thing that comes to your mind is that he needs to do some cardio and lose weight. How about that she needs to cut some fatty foods to lose weight and go to the gym to bring fitness to her body?
It sounds better.

Another study from 2014 says that the most successful management program depends on a diet modification.

Okay, what should I eat to lose weight?

Everything clean.

Focusing on healthy food is the road you need to take towards the healthy life and losing weight.
You need fuel foods that will make your body carry out the essential functions. Minimize unhealthy fat and focus on fiber, healthy fats, and protein rich foods.

Don’t get me wrong. Exercising is still necessary for the whole process. Eating healthy foods that will make you lose weight and combine it with exercises is the road you would want to take.

We are not robots to follow something without emotions. People are like that. They get emotional about everything. And that’s okay.


The same thing goes for food. When you are following a healthy lifestyle, you get emotional and want to quit so badly. This usually happens during the first couple of months.
Your mind and body are getting used to the new experience and that transition could give you bad thoughts.

I’ve been there.

There was a time when I wanted to quit what I was doing. Luckily for me, there was my husband to keep me motivated all the time. I thought healthy eating wasn’t for me.

He was supportive and he was always comparing the fight with a little child learning how to walk.

“When a Child Learns to Walk and Falls Down 50 Times He Never Says to Himself: Maybe this isn’t for me?”

This became my motto and here am I now.

So, you are a little bit off the path you decided to walk. What now?
It’s time for you to focus and get back into it ASAP.

Here are 8 tips that will help you achieve any goal worth having. I took the low carb diet as a focus point.

1. Don’t beat yourself up for it

The damage is done. There is no time for you to whine about it. Stop beating yourself for the things you’ve already done.
It’s time to move on. My job is like that. I see many people who use to struggle to keep up with their healthy lifestyle and broke down emotionally.
Think about it. You are a human after all. You will have your moment of success and failure. They are cousins. It’s okay. Pick up your focus and keep on trying.
You didn’t lose anything. But, you have to shake it off and start working on yourself again.

2. Don’t excuse your behavior. Own it!

That pizza was so delicious, right? You probably felt really bad after you ate it, but it felt so good.
You are the one to blame. No one else. Be a brave person and admit that you did something wrong. Don’t look for excuses because no one wants to listen to them.
Ask yourself how did you fall under that influence? Find the answers and make sure you don’t do the same thing all over again.
Prepare yourself before you go out next time. Don’t go out hungry. That’s one of the key things.

3. Take Notes

Did you feel bad about eating carbs and sugar? – Write it down. This will make you feel better.
Whenever I want to learn something new, or be disciplined about something, I’m writing it down.
The next time I will get things wrong again, I go over this notebook and see if it has been written down before. The next time, I will remember the notes and stop myself from messing things up again.
Writing about the mistakes is more vivid and real. Make sure you write down how did you feel while doing that, too.

4. Salad for breakfast? Yes PLEASE!

I’m not a salad for breakfast person myself. I’m not holding on this low carb diet. I’m more of a balanced lifestyle with exercising. But, I have a large number of clients who are dedicated to this diet.
That’s how I know so much about it.
Salad for breakfast is completely the opposite of the other meal plans you had for the morning. Why holding on to those mental boundaries?
Eating low carb vegetables in the morning is like resetting your body from that good night sleep. It tastes and feels clean and will give you enough energy for the day.

Everything is in your head. After a while, you will feel addicted to the salad. Your mind will feel that it needs natural salad “poison” to function through the day.
It’s healthy and it’s beautiful!

5. Move!

Move your body. Start walking, running, exercising, yoga, and much more! Find your perfect exercise and hold on to it. Do well for your heart. Boost those fat burning abilities and improve your cardiovascular and mental health.

6. Bringing H2O

Every healthy lifestyle requires water. I usually say that water comes from heaven. It really does, you know.
There are many ways to drink the required minimum of water on a daily basis. You can consume a clear version of it, or you can alkalize it with fruits or some vegetables.
Alcohol and other beverages will give you headaches and inflammatory properties while water will flush your system and make you healthier.

7. Cut the alcohol

Don’t drink alcohol. That’s all I have to say to you. Maybe a glass of fine red wine during dinner won’t harm your health, but keep it just to 1 glass. Don’t make it a habit.
Alcohol is a toxin and you need to focus on flushing the toxins out of your body instead of welcoming them in.

8. Search for new fun recipes!

There are plenty of low-carb recipes that are fun and different than what you’ve been used to, so far.
It’s time for cooking. Your kitchen waits for you. Cook some new favorites and you will be back on your main plan at no time.

Do you think you can manage to follow these tips? Go ahead and try. I know you can make it!
Don’t forget to share this with your friends. They might be struggling right now and need a few tips on how to get back on track.

A Simple Technique: How To Fall Asleep Quick Every Night

Are you having trouble falling asleep? Counting sheep won’t do the trick?

Mr. Bean came up with that technique and I don’t know if someone still uses it.
Everything goes through a person’s mind when he is about to sleep. Sometimes you want to blow your head off.

It happens to me sometimes. The day has been perfect and when I’m just about to fall asleep, there are these thoughts that are not letting me float away in my dreams.
This is rare, though.

Some of you or your friends, often complain about problems like these. They can’t sleep, they can’t eat, and they don’t feel like doing anything.
If you ask me, I will tell you that physical activity will cure all this. When you are “wasted” you will sleep tight like a baby.

www.pinterest.com

I even give advice to some people to a 30-minutes workout routine right before they go to sleep.
This is how you get your body working when it doesn’t feel like doing anything. You getting tired from the workout is the goal.
In fact, it will burn calories, get you fit, and a nice bath after that will relax and prepare you for a good night sleep.
That’s one side of the story.
Dr. Andrew Weil has revealed that everything is in calming yourself through breathing.
He specializes in breathing and he knows how you can benefit from it.
He came up with a special method for falling asleep in a minute.
By making this method a habit of yours, you will counterattack the natural effects of adrenaline rushing through your veins and mind when you are about to sleep.
It slows your heart rate and releases chemicals in your brain. Those chemicals are the reason for you not being able to fall asleep.

What’s the method?

The method is really simple. It will take few nights to master it.

•      Breath through your nose for 4 seconds
•      Hold your breath for 7 seconds
•      Exhale through your mouth for 8 seconds

That’s it. Simple as one-two-punch.
When you first begin this method, you will feel like you are dying.
By continuing to do this every night, you will feel more and more relaxed every night.
Give it a try. Test it for a week or two. Come back in the comments section below and tell us if it works.
Everything is in the art of breathing.

This reminds me when I was taking swimming lessons. The trainer was telling me I need to master my breathing first.

The first month I never touched the pool. I didn’t even want to see it. I needed to calm down, learn how to breathe and then go in the water.
Luckily, I’m a fast learner.
As you can see, the art of breathing is all around us. Will you learn this routine?
It could be really helpful for those nights when you can’t fell asleep. Tell your friends about this.

A Town in Alberta, Canada Woke up to Pink Tap Water

I’ve never seen a story about pink tap water. When I saw this, I said to myself that this must be one of those pranks we see on TV. Well, it’s not like that.

A water treatment plant in Onoway is what’s behind coloring the water supply on Monday, March 6^th.

The potassium permanganate, a chemical used in water treatment plants to remove iron and hydrogen sulfide from the water.

If you are wondering how much would it need for the potassium permanganate to colorize the water, well, it’s a lot. Large amounts were released into the water slide after one of the valves malfunctioned during the whole procedure.

Lots of people woke up to a pink tap water. Twitter was full of these interesting tweets and quotes from people.

Deseret News

The media surrounded the problem pretty quick and got to the bottom of it.

Is the Pink Tap Water dangerous?

If you are living in this area in Canada, you should raise the panic button. However, consuming water with the significant amount of potassium permanganate could harm your well-being.
It could cause severe irritation to the skin on contact. On top of that, there will be gastrointestinal distress, throat swelling, and burning if you consume it. The authorities believe the level of potassium permanganate was successfully diluted not to cause any harm. However, the residents are still staying away from it and wait for further instructions.
Here is the full story about this happening.
I hope nobody got in bigger trouble from this thing. If so, there will be lots of consequences if this comes out to be a human error.
Can anybody living in Canada explain how was the experience with this pink tap water and what were the instructions from the authorities?

My husband never goes to bed without a glass of water lying on the nightstand. I thought everything is fine with that. He is getting thirsty through the night and he drinks it.

A couple of days earlier, I saw him drink it first thing in the morning.
I’m completely positive that everyone needs to do that in the morning, but I wasn’t so sure about that glass water that stayed there the entire night.
I mean, the water has been there the whole time. In the glass. Something was stuck on my mind and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
I asked him why he does that. He said, why wouldn’t I? – Aren’t you the one who says to drink a glass of water in the morning?
Men these days…

I then explained what I meant by that. He just listened and walked off.
After I finished my morning workout routine and made a delicious smoothie, I sat down on my computer.
The research took some time, but I finally found a shocking truth about this habit.
It seems my husband wasn’t the only one drinking water that stayed in a glass overnight.
Many people were concerned about this. I think the following scientific explanation answers all the frequently asked questions.

The Discovery News said that microbes could easily pollute plain water. Food contains proteins and sugar to prevent that, but water does not. When the water gets in touch with air after some time it absorbs a small amount of CO2. This means that the water partially is transformed in carbonic acid with changed chemical properties.

In other words, if you drank a glass of water that stayed overnight, you probably noticed how the taste has changed.
This is because the carbonic acid releases 2 protons and converts into bicarbonate or carbonate. This leads to decreasing of the water’s pH levels. That’s why the taste has changed.
Plus, the water is exposed to bacteria and dust for several hours. This reacts and changes the taste, too.
Maybe the side effects won’t be shown right away. Maybe your body is resistant to that bacteria and dust in your water. But why risking?
Isn’t it better when you drink fresh water in the morning?
Avoid water that stayed in the glass for several hours as much as you can. Fresh is always better.
Do you know some friends with the same habit? – Sharing this with them could change that.

Remove Back Fat Fast at Home

Back fat doesn’t do your outfit any good as that unsightly bulge can ruin your overall look. It may be that you are wearing the wrong bra size but if you are carrying excess fat in this area, you might want to look for alternatives to banish them completely. Fortunately, there are back fat workouts that you can do right at home. So let’s get started.

Jump rope

Remember those days when you were a kid and you’ve been jumping up and down with a rope? Well, jumping rope is actually one of the best ways to burn some serious calories and fats while working on your shoulders, arms, and back muscles. You should do this 2 to 3 times a week and you’ll see serious improvements on your physique.

Yoga

Another exercise that will melt those excess fats in your boy is yoga. Yoga not only teaches you on how to become flexible but also how to strengthen the muscles in your body to improve your posture, strengthen your core, and keep your body burning calories even after you exercise. Doing yoga also help improve your mental health as it teaches you to release the tension in your mind and body.

Hip twister plank


You should also try the hip twister plank if you want to remove back fat. To start, go into a forearm plank pose with your shoulders directly above the elbows. Keep in mind that your body must be in a straight, diagonal like from the head all the way to the heels. Engage your core as you rotate your torso to the right, dropping your left hip to the ground. Control your movement as you twist your torso to the other side while bringing your right hip to the ground to complete one rep. You should do 10 to 15 reps.

Increase cardio

Doing cardio workouts is a must if you want to banish back fat as fast as possible. Running, cycling, brisk walking, and other cardio workouts that will get your heart rate up and running will push your body to burn calories as much as possible. The best thing about cardio workouts is that you can do 10 minutes here and there until you complete a 60 minute session at least five times in a week. If you can spare an hour then go and perform your cardio routine. Just make sure that you rest afterwards to give your body time to recuperate.

Triceps dip

Beat your back fat fast at home by performing some tricep dips on a sturdy chair. Start this exercise by sitting on the edge of the bench or chair with your hands gripping the edge of the seat. Bend knees and then shift your body’s weight on your arms. Bend your elbows so that you will be carrying most of your weight while lowering yourself to the ground. Push yourself back up by extending your arms. Repeat the steps 10 to 12 times to complete a set. You should do controlled movements for this exercise while regulating your breathing.

IF YOU SUFFER FROM SCIATICA: THIS WILL UNLOCKS THE NERVE AND RELIEVE PAIN IN MINUTES!

People suffering from sciatica know how painful it can be. The sciatic nerve is the biggest nerve in the body, going from the hips and buttocks down to the toes. Due to the wear and tear, the nerve gets damaged over time, which causes symptoms such as sharp pain, difficulty moving, a tingling sensation in the legs and difficulty sitting and standing.


People over 30 are more prone to nerve inflammation and sciatica, although the condition is more common in pregnant women and the elderly. The pain is usually caused by a combination of inflammation and the loss of flexibility, which is why it hurts so much when you try to move. Conventional medications do nothing for the pain, but luckily for you, we’ll show you a few exercises that will improve your condition and reduce the pain.

EXERCISE 1


Lay down on a yoga mat on the floor on your back, then bend your leg like in the picture.

Now hold the other leg and pull it toward your shoulders, then keep the position for 30 seconds when you feel the stretch. Take a couple minute break and repeat the process twice more.

EXERCISE 2

Lay on a yoga mat on your back, then extend one leg and bend the other, bringing your knee to the chest. Keep the pelvis near the ground and feel the stretch in your bent leg. Hold the position for half a minute then go back to the original position and repeat the process 2 times.

ALTHOUGH THE EXERCISES ARE GREAT AGAINST SCIATICA, MAKE SURE TO PERFORM THEM AFTER CONSULTING A DOCTOR.
