These habits prevent your body from burning fat and turning fat into energy. Burning calories and maintaining your weight is no easy task. For years research has indicated that the amount of calories you consume and burn off is how to manage your weight. Unfortunately that is no longer the case. There are, in fact, different everyday habits that can keep a person’s body from turning fat into energy. #Fat #Diet #Health Timestamps: Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 8 Perfectionism: This is a well-known habit, just like smoking or a daily glass of wine. It's not the same as striving to be the best or to be healthy. In the case of losing weight, most people use this habit as an excuse to not do the right things for their body. 7 Over Exercising: There is such a thing as too much exercise. Certain forms of exercise can trigger excess amounts of cortisol, which breaks down lean muscle tissue. Cortisol also blocks your growth hormone, which is one of your fat-burning hormones. 6 Laziness: Your fat cells only flourish if your body is not constantly mobile. Without any form of exercise, there are very little fat-realising lipolytic enzymes to compete with the fat cells. 5 Low Carb Intake: By trying to cut carbs, you’re not doing your metabolism any favors. It causes it to become slow and sluggish and will almost certainly cause you to gain weight which will be almost impossible to lose without carbs. 4 High PUFA Intake: PUFA stands for Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids, which are unsaturated vegetable oils. These oils damage your metabolism more than you’ll ever realize. Oils like peanut, safflower, soybean, sunflower, and canola slow down your thyroid by blocking mitochondrial respiration. 3 Skipping Meals: Many people think that if you skip meals it will help you lose weight, but in reality it’s the exact opposite. By skipping meals you’re actually lowering your metabolic rate and will gain more fat. 2 Overeating: In this case, most people who are overeating are doing so with unhealthy food. When you eat more calories than your body needs, your fat-storing enzymes are activated. Despite making your fat cells happy by overeating, the issue is that not all calories are created equally. 1 Dieting: In simple terms, diets do not work. In most cases people who diet will either be unsuccessful with it, causing stress, frustration and loss of motivation. Or they are successful with it but damage their body in the process.

Here are some truths about being single versus married that you should know. The single life and the taken life are worlds away from each other. Whether you’re in a long-term relationship, engaged or married, you can relate to the life that once was, and the life you’re living now. Finding a partner in life is something most people strive for, but are we ever really prepared for the sacrifices? #Single #Marriage #Married Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1. Flirting: Oh, the irony. Why is it when you’re single you can’t seem to catch anyone’s attention, yet when you’re taken you have to start swatting them off like flies? It’s likely that old mindset that people want what they can’t have. When people first get married, they have that “newlywed” glow about them. They are happy and excited, and it shows on their face. They tend to give off more positive energy, which could explain why more people are attracted to them. On the other hand, single people are notorious for sometimes being negative and down on themselves. Nobody likes a negative nancy, so it’s entirely possible that the reason that more people flirt with married people is because of the energy they are giving off! 2. Money: When you’re single, you can be selfish with money. You can spend your paychecks on clothes for you, food for you, drinks for you and nights out for you. When you’re taken, money that was once spent on you now gets spent for two. Dinners for two, dates for two and don’t forget the extra money you’ll be spending on birthdays and holidays. Once you get married, you begin to share your finances with your spouse. Any debt he or she has accumulated is now your debt. Your finances are tied for life, and any money you or your spouse spends has a direct affect on your finances. And don’t forget all the money that has to be spent on children once you have them! From a mortgage to daycare to car payments, marriage just seems to drain couples of all their finances. In the single life, all you’ve got to worry about is yourself. No kids, no fancy dates or birthday presents - it seems like single people have got it made! 3. Personal grooming: Things can get a little…untamed when you’re in a comfortable relationship. While you spend your single days constantly grooming in hopes of attracting a mate, those in long-term relationships are lucky if their partner bothers to shave. There’s no doubt we spend a lot more time on our appearance when we’re single. There’s no need for a face full of makeup or styled hair when you’re at home with your man! 4. Conversations: Conversations become a lot deeper when you have a serious partner. What used to be your buddies calling to say, “Hey, let’s go out!” is now your wife calling to talk about her day and her indecisiveness about applying for a promotion. Because married couples are so close and comfortable together, they can have conversations which are about deeper things like having children, finances, their goals and dreams, and what they hope to accomplish as their children grow. These types of conversations bring couples closer together, and are simply not conversations that many single people have amongst each other. Long, deep conversations allow married couples to talk about their dreams, desires, and fears, and brings them that much closer together. 5. Stress: Stress can manifest itself in a lot of different ways. As fulfilling as marriage can be, there’s no doubt it also comes with stress. After a while, packing on pounds or going bald is hard to avoid. Although single people stress out about things - just like everyone else in the world does - there are certain things that come with marriage that bring about stress more than the single life does. For example, not being able to pay the bills on time, or worrying about raising children, or perhaps even getting laid off from a job - there are all sorts of things that can lead to stress in a marriage. This can cause a rift between a married couples, resulting in arguments, unhealthy diet decisions, and possibly even divorce. 6. Privacy: What’s mine is yours, right? Men and women alike have a terrible habit of always needing to go through their significant other’s phone. If you’ve got a snoopy partner, you’d better have one heck of a complicated password.

According to psychologists here are the phrases signifying that your man doesn't love you anymore. #Love #Psychology #LoveAdvice Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 7. I Really Love You: This might sound a bit ridiculous, but there is a certain way that men will tell you they love you that could mean they’re manipulating you. If the man says “I love you,” chances are he means it. But if he says “I really love you,” the “really” usually means that your partner feels guilty for something he did and is trying to prove to you that he still loves you. If your man has nothing to hide and has treated you with the utmost respect, there is no reason why he needs to add the “really” into “I love you.” This is a hidden sign that your man doesn’t love you anymore. 6. Do Whatever You Want: Your man doesn’t love you anymore if he starts telling you to do whatever you want. This signifies that he has become distant and indifferent to you. By saying this, it shows that he doesn’t care what you are doing or want to do. It also shows that he doesn’t care if you’re able to get out of a difficult situation or not. If your man really loves you, he will help you with difficult situations and will never leave your side at a crossroads. But if your man doesn’t love you, he won’t help you when you need it the most. 5. You’re Overthinking It: If your man is trying to make you feel guilty, he may tell you that you’re overthinking things if you complain about a problem. It is possible that you may be overthinking things. But, if this situation occurs on a regular basis, it could be a red flag. The best way to deal with situations that end in “you’re over thinking it” is to sit your man down and explain to him what is worrying you. Just remember, the statement “you’re over thinking it” is not an answer to your question and could signify that your man doesn’t love you anymore. 4. Find Someone Else If You Don’t Like It: If your man says this statement, it means that he’s never going to change and expects you to live with his flaws. It also shows that he cares very little about your opinion and also about you. It’s important to remember that a successful relationship that is full of love is also full of compromise. Both parties need to respect each other and their opinions. But if your man doesn’t love you, he won’t care if you leave and find someone else. If he tells you to find someone else, it’s a sign that he doesn’t value your opinion and that he doesn’t care about you enough to change his bad habits. A man who can admit his faults and change for the woman he loves is a keeper, so don’t settle for anything less than that! 3. I Don’t Believe You: If you hear your man use these words, it usually means that he is not very confident or wants to try and dominate the relationship. In other cases, they may demand an excuse for a situation that is not even your fault. They constantly pick fights because they’re secretly looking for a reason to break up with you. Your man doesn’t love you if he always looks for a sign. Loving someone means that you want them to to be constantly happy, not angry or sad. 2. I Don’t Have to Explain Myself: In a relationship, no one should ever be interrogated and either party shouldn’t have to explain everything little thing they do. It is normal to express how you feel, especially if you’re worried about your partner, but if your man constantly tells you that he doesn’t have to explain himself to you, there is a chance he doesn’t love you anymore. If you politely explain to him that you were really worried about him, he should feel bad but also glad that you’re showing emotion to him. Each person in a relationship should be accountable for their actions, and if their actions warrant any suspicion, they should be addressed in a mature and adult way. 1. It’s Your Problem Not Mine: One telltale sign that your man doesn’t love you anymore is if he stops caring about your problems. In a loving relationship, both parties have problems, but it’s the ability to make time to help each other solve those problems that will make a relationship last. One of the biggest ways to determine if a relationship will fail or succeed is how a couple deals with problems. When a person is going through something, their partner should be there by their side to offer support and help in any way they can. If your man no longer does this, and you find that your partner is not supporting you through the harder times in your life, it may be time to say goodbye.

Here are the brutally honest difference between loving someone and being in love with someone. #LoveAdvice #Love #Dating Timestamps: 8 Loving Is An Uphill Battle, Being In Love Is Simply Effortless: 7 Loving Means Ownership, Being In Love Is A Partnership: 6 Loving Means How The Person Makes You Feel, Being In Love Means How You Make Them Feel: 5 Loving Is a Rush, Being In Love Has Many Emotions: 4 Loving A Person Means Always Needing Them, Being In Love Means Having A Balance: 3 Love Can End, Being In Love Cannot: 2 Love Means Wanting the Best, Being In Love Means Putting Them First: 1 You Choose to Love Someone, Being In Love Isn’t A Choice: Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 8 Loving Is An Uphill Battle, Being In Love Is Simply Effortless: Often, you will hear someone complain about their relationship. They will say things like “it shouldn’t be this hard,” and there is some truth to that. Naturally, if you really are in love with someone, things shouldn’t be difficult. You shouldn’t have to work overtime to get the spark back or try to stop fighting, these things should never be a problem. I’m not saying that being in love with someone will all be roses and rainbows, but I am saying that the love aspect should never take work. Also, after a rocky month or two, you will still be in love with the person if it is real. 7 Loving Means Ownership, Being In Love Is A Partnership: When you love someone, you want the whole world to know that they are yours, so you label them and make them your property. You constantly need them to tell you that they are your girlfriend/boyfriend, and you also need them to constantly tell you that they are yours. When you are in love, labels such as boyfriend and girlfriend do not matter. 6 Loving Means How The Person Makes You Feel, Being In Love Means How You Make Them Feel: This is one common mistake people often make when it comes to love. When someone is asked, “Why do you love this person?” They often respond with “I like how they make me feel.” That answer is fine, but it doesn’t mean you are in love with the person, it just means you love them. If you are more concerned about how you make your partner feel, then it is true love. 5 Loving Is a Rush, Being In Love Has Many Emotions: There are many highs and lows with being in love. The problem is they do not balance each other in a way that makes you feel good. The love can last for a while, but the second there is a problem, it could all go away. It’s like a rollercoaster, but the problem is that the ride eventually ends. But if you are in love with someone, no matter what happens in the relationship, you never feel like things are crashing and burning. 4 Loving A Person Means Always Needing Them, Being In Love Means Having A Balance: Always wanting someone around isn’t a bad thing, it just means you love them and enjoy their company. But when you are in love with someone, you would like to have them around as much as possible, but you do realize that there needs to be a happy balance between you and their personal time. You want them to be happy, so you understand that the balance is necessary. 3 Love Can End, Being In Love Cannot: Love does not last forever and can end at any moment. According to statistics, almost 50 percent of married couples in the United States end up divorcing each other at some point. That just proves my point that love on its own can end. Once the honeymoon phase in a relationship is over, that is when things get tough. 2 Love Means Wanting the Best, Being In Love Means Putting Them First: When you love someone, you will always want the best for them. But does this mean that you are willing to make sacrifices to help them reach their goals? If you are in love with someone, that question doesn’t even cross your mind because you would never have any doubts about it. You would put the person first and do everything in your power to make sure they succeed. 1 You Choose to Love Someone, Being In Love Isn’t A Choice: You have all the power when it comes to loving someone. You make a decision based on their personality and you choose to trust their abilities and morals. If things do not work out, then you also have the power to stop loving them and release them from your life. The same cannot be said if you fall in love with someone. It can happen at any time, there will be no warning, and it’s something you cannot walk away from.

Emotionally and mentally exhausted people display these warning signs. A long, stressful day at work, followed by a full house with children running around and leaving a mess in their path can really take a toll on someone’s mental and emotional state. #Psychology #MentallyExhausted #MentalHealth Timestamps: 7. You Focus Inwards Instead of Outwards: 0:14 6. Irritation: 1:07 5. Lack of motivation: 2:44 4. Sleeping Disorders: 4:02 3. No Patience: 5:36 2. Disruption of Appetite: 6:31 1. Sadness: 7:22 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 7. You Focus Inwards Instead of Outwards: Someone who is depressed or mentally and emotionally exhausted will tend to focus on things that reflect them on the inside rather than look at the bigger picture. Everything becomes about them, even when it shouldn’t. People will also isolate themselves and detach themselves from the rest of the world. 6. Irritation: Is there a connection between irritation, depression and mental exhaustion? There sure is. In fact, depression and mental exhaustion are intricately tied. When everything is going well in someone’s life, they don’t stress or worry about anything. But when someone is unable to cope with certain things, whether it is small or big, they begin to become irritated. When it becomes a pattern, it’s basically the straw that breaks the camel’s back. The stress becomes too much for the individual and because it has now become part of his or her daily life, they stay irritated because they can’t seem to break the pattern. 5. Lack of motivation: Lack of motivation may be a sign that a person is suffering from mental exhaustion. One of the reasons people become unmotivated in life is because of exhaustion. Think about people who like to run marathons. If you are a sprinter or a runner who runs a marathon, you’re not going to feel like running once you complete it, and you’ll be depleted. Mental and emotional motivation are much the same. If you’re too tired to feel motivated, you become unmotivated. In many cases of mental and emotional exhaustion, especially depression, anhedonia is often present. Anhedonia is when people lose interest in activities they used to enjoy and have also decreased their ability to feel pressure. 4 Sleeping Disorders: Sleeping disorders can be a direct sign of depression and mental and emotional exhaustion. When someone first suspects that they might be depressed or mentally and emotionally exhausted, one of the first things they notice is that their sleep has been affected. There could be two aspects of sleep that can be a warning sign. If someone sleeps too much, or if someone sleeps too little. 3. No Patience: As explained earlier in the video, irritation, which can also include lack of patience, is a common sign of depression and mental and emotional exhaustion. Lack of patience and irritability are often common for younger people, where sadness is more prominent with someone who is much older. The reason why people often become short with their colleagues and family is because they are overwhelmed. They don’t feel like talking because their mind is in a million different places and they cannot concentrate on just one thing. The small things become big things, and big things become larger. This can be overwhelming for someone suffering from mental and emotional exhaustion, resulting in stress and anxiety. 2. Disruption of Appetite: The body has certain hormones and neurotransmitters, and when we become hungry, certain ones are produced by our body. But when the body has a hormonal imbalance, like low levels of serotonin, it leads to impaired functions of all the hormones and neurotransmitters involved in this process, which leads to loss of appetite. Leptin and ghrelin both play essential roles in regulating a person’s appetite. When you have high blood levels of leptin, your appetite is reduced, and when you have high levels of ghrelin, your appetite is increased. 1. Sadness: Sadness is more associated with the older generation. The reason why people become sad when they are depressed or mentally and emotionally exhausted is that they cannot handle the stress that is associated with it. When a person becomes mentally and emotionally exhausted, their mind races with feelings of stress and anxiety.

You can spot any psychopath by looking for these warnings. When you picture a psychopath, usually the image you think of is a weapon-wielding individual with a crazed look in their eye. That’s the image that popular culture has portrayed, but how accurate is that definition? #Psychopath #Narcissistic #Psychology Timestamps: 20 Lack of guilt: 0:11 19) Lack of empathy: 0:28 18) Enjoy making others feel guilty: 0:49 17 Only value themselves: 1:22 16 Believe they are better than others: 1:43 15 Liars: 2:00 14 Often well-liked: 2:22 13 Lack of accountability for their actions: 3:04 12 Early behavioral problems: 3:39 11 Juvenile delinquency: 4:03 10 Walking contradiction: 4:37 9 Don’t believe that rules apply to them: 5:05 8 Shallow emotions: 5:36 7 Rage: 5:57 6 Unfazed: 6:28 5 Sucker for thrills: 6:56 4 Short personal space: 7:32 3 Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom: 8:03 2 Parasitic lifestyle: 8:38 1 Lack of realistic long-term goals: 9:00 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 20 Lack of guilt: A psychopath will not feel guilty for his or her behavior, even if it hurts the people around them. Watch out for this clear cut sign of a psychopath before it’s too late! 19) Lack of empathy: A psychopath is unable to place themselves in another person’s shoes or see things from their perspective if it is not beneficial for them. 18) Enjoy making others feel guilty: One obvious warning sign that you may be dealing with a psychopath is that they like to manipulate people’s emotions in order to get them to do what they want. 17) Only value themselves: The only reason a psychopath will do anything is to benefit themselves. 16) Believe they are better than others: They tend to lie about things and sometimes even convince themselves of these lies so that they can see themselves in a better light. 15) Liars: Psychopaths will lie to make themselves look better, even going so far as to make up complete lies about their past, their lifestyle, and their relationships. 14) Often well-liked: Because of their manipulation skills, they can convince almost anyone that they are good people, making them seem likeable when in all reality they are extremely evil. 13) Lack of accountability for their actions: They feel no responsibility whatsoever and will stop at nothing to get what they want. 12) Early behavioral problems: Most psychopaths have a long history of manipulative and questionable activity. This type of behavior typically starts early on in a person’s life, and only gets worse as they grow into adults. 11) Juvenile delinquency: A study shows that youth with high psychopathic traits start engaging in criminal activities earlier in life, come into contact with the justice system earlier in life, and have higher levels of conduct disorder, behavior problems, and delinquent behaviors. 10) Walking contradiction: This is because psychopaths lie about almost everything. They tend to get caught up in their lies and contradict themselves regularly because of this. 9) Don’t believe that rules apply to them: Much like narcissists, they are so self-centered that they believe they are not held to the same standards as others. 8) Shallow emotions: This means that events that may engender an emotional response from a neurotypical may have little to no effect on a psychopath. That, however, does not prevent them from feigning these emotions in order to fit in or manipulate. 7) Rage: Of the few emotional responses that have been attributed to psychopaths is anger, which appears to be intact and perhaps enhanced in psychopathy according to one study published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. 6) Unfazed: Psychopaths are unfazed not only by social, moral, or legal consequences of their actions. 5) Sucker for thrills: A psychopath is also partial to adrenaline-inducing activities. Some of the crime that they commit is also as a result of them seeking a thrill. 4) Short personal space: Individuals with high levels of ‘cold-heartedness’ preferred shorter interpersonal distances. 3) Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom: If a psychopath gets bored and feels the need to be exhilarated, they may feel the need to do something dangerous to relieve their boredom. 2) Parasitic lifestyle: Meaning they will leech off those around them and take credit for accomplishments achieved by others. 1) Lack of realistic long-term goals: Because of their inflated sense of self, they have a tendency to establish unattainable goals.

How to make yourself more attractive. Attraction is a tool that is used in order to procure someone from the opposite sex (or the same sex.) There are certain things that we can do to ensure that we appear more attractive (for example, avoiding loose, dark clothing can help! #Attraction #Tricks #Tips Timestamps: 7. No sense of humor: 0:11 6. The color of your clothing: 1:07 5. Playing hard to get: 2:21 4. Not having a pet: 3:27 3. Being kind: 4:20 2. Your hygiene: 5:22 1. Have friends: 6:30 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 7. No sense of humor: According to anthropologist Gil Greengross, having a sense of humor is a great plus in terms of attractiveness. ‘The effect of a great sense of humor on women’s attractions might be partially explained by the fact that funny people are considered to be more social and more intelligent, things that women seek in a mate,’ says Greengross. So by contrast, people who do not have a sense of humor or can’t ‘laugh things off’ are generally regarded as less attractive. Thus, having a smile on your face and generally being upbeat, positive and fun can help increase one’s attractiveness. 6. The color of your clothing: Alec Beall, who has a Ph.D. and is a psychologist, says that wearing bright colors, like a white top, can enhance one’s attractiveness. In a study that Dr. Beall authored, researchers found that wearing the color red can help one appear more attractive. Dr. Beall said: ‘this red-attractiveness link is partially explained by men’s perceptions of implied sexual receptivity among women wearing reddish garb. In 2013, my colleagues and I even noted this effect among a small-scale society in Burkina Faso, West Africa, suggesting that men’s attraction to red is a cultural universal.’ 5. Playing hard to get: Playing hard to get is a surefire way to appear less attractive. A Reader’s Digest article looked at a study conducted in Germany which showed that people are rated as more attractive when they can easily understand the emotions that are displayed. Silke Anders, who is the author of the study said: ‘Partners must understand and continuously update information about their partner’s current intentions and motivation, anticipate the other’s behavior, and adapt their own behavior accordingly. 4. Not having a pet: Not having a pet can make you less attractive. In a Psychology Today article, psychology professor Hal Herzog said: ‘women should be more sensitive than men to how their dates treat their own dogs and cats. Men, on the other hand, should be more likely to use their pets to attract sexual partners.’ So having a pet, more specifically a puppy, can increase one’s attractiveness while not having an adorable pet can hurt one’s appearance. 3. Being kind: As mentioned earlier, being a good person that people want to hang around with can obviously be beneficial in terms of attractiveness. A study conducted in China found that people were more willing to rate someone as attractive if they found out they had ‘positive attributes.’ So being kind and nice to those around you can help you appear more attractive while displaying the opposite attributes will make you appear less appealing. 2. Your hygiene: It doesn’t take a research study to know that hygiene is essential in attraction, but nonetheless, psychologist Jeremy Nicholson wrote in Psychology Today: ‘the most attractive physical features fall under ‘self-care’—things like good grooming, clean hair, nice fitting and quality clothing, good posture, and healthy weight.’ Nice fitting clothes, as opposed to baggy clothes, can drastically improve one’s appearance. So if you are catering to that shaggy look right now, maybe try getting a trim, a nice haircut and some form-fitting clothes to watch your appearance skyrocket. 1. Have friends! In a Business Insider article which looked at a study in 2014 by the University of California at San Diego, they found that people who were surrounded by friends were more likely to be considered attractive. Drew Walker and Edward Vul, who were authors of the study, said: ‘having a few wingmen or wingwomen may indeed be a good dating strategy, particularly if their facial features complement and average out one’s unattractive idiosyncrasies.’ So by simply having some friends around you, you can seriously increase your attractiveness while constantly being by yourself can be rated as less attractive.

Stop worrying so much and reduce stress, this is how. There are several ways that you can train your brain. From exercising to eating right and talking to a friend or family member, there are many simple things that you can do to help ease your mind - even in the most stressful of situations. Remember, you are not alone. Everyone worries about things in life - it is just a matter of being able to handle these worries! #StopWorrying #Mind #Relaxation Timestamps: 1. Write things down: 0:09 2. Meditation: 1:27 3. Exercise daily: 3:26 4. Talk to a friend or family member: 4:33 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1. Write things down: The first way to train your brain to stop worrying so much is to write things down. This method is said to help clear your mind, organize your thoughts, and improve your memory. It is good to write your worries down on paper or on your phone. Writing things down gives your brain a break because there is no longer a need to remember the details. They are now in written form for you to use as a reference in the future. Writing things down lowers the amount of energy your brain needs to remember the details if they were not written down. It’s also practical because you can work your way down what you wrote and try to find solutions to the problems. 2. Meditation: another great way to train your brain to stop worrying is to meditate. Meditation does not take long to do, even though some people believe it does. According to research in the Journal of Psychosomatic Medicine, meditation is extremely beneficial for reducing cognitive anxiety for individuals, especially those who find themselves constantly worrying. It is good to stop paying attention to your worries for a few moments at a time during your day. For example, a good way to practice this is to clear your mind for 30 seconds at a time, once or twice a day. You can increase these “breaks” every few days or weeks as you see fit. Meditation calms your brain and allows you to gain clarity and peace. It can also help you focus better right after. It takes some dedication to get good at meditating successfully, but in the end it is worth it. 3. Exercise daily: another great way to train your brain to stop worrying is to exercise daily, whether it is going to the gym or even going for a run or a walk. Exercising can help release endorphins, reducing your stress and giving you more energy. Exercising can also help relieve physical symptoms of stress, and it can even lower your blood pressure. Exercise is especially necessary if you spend entire days sitting in front of a desk. 4. Talk to a friend or family member: If you find that you are worrying and it is starting to overwhelm you, speak to a friend or family member for advice. It is always helpful to get an outside perspective from someone who can give you a different point of view. Your friends and family members know you best. If you come to them for advice, they can help you navigate through whatever it is you are worrying about and help you along the way.

A kiss on the hand: Just like a kiss on the forehead, a kiss on the hand can also signify respect and adoration, although this type of kiss is not necessarily just between two people who may like each other more than friends. It is a gesture which can indicate courtesy, respect, admiration or devotion between two people. It doesn't necessarily have to be shared between two people who are attracted to each other, and is generally used as a sign of respect. Fun fact, the kiss originated during the 17th and 18th century in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. 1. The Eskimo Kiss: Eskimo kisses have been around for quite some time, and are typically used as the romantic option for those who live in cold climates. It occurs when two noses rub against each other, moving back and forth. Most people believe that this type of kiss was used because people who lived in cold areas had to do it or else they’d get their lips stuck together. That’s not the case, though! This kiss originated in colder cultures when people would meet outside with very little exposed except for their eyes and nose. An eskimo kiss is considered a friendly greeting in various different cultures. In Inuit culture, an eskimo kiss is a called a kunik, and is considered a traditional greeting between loved ones and family members.

The things that happen before and after you die. If there is one thing that is certain in life, it’s that we can never prepare for death. Also, few people actually know what to expect when our life clock ticks down to zero. But according to science, death, much like life, is a process. #BeforeDeath #AfterDeath #AfterYouDie Timestamps: 1 Loss of Appetite: 1:25 2 Slow Moving: 2:12 3 Slipping Away: 3:14 4 Changes After Death: 3:54 5 Livor Mortis: 4:19 6 Tardieu Spots: 4:56 7 Algor Mortis: 5:20 8 Tache Noire: 5:55 9 Decomposition: 6:14 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1 Loss of Appetite: Dr. O’Connor explains that a person’s appetite could begin to dip for various reasons when they’re dying. The first reason is that the body could be producing excess catecholamine, which is a chemical in the bloodstream that suppresses your appetite. The other reason why a person’s appetite might diminish is that their intestines are not functioning at normal capacity. This prevents food from being processed properly, so it might sit in their stomach which can make them feel nauseous. 2 Slow Moving: Dr. O’Connor states that physical fatigue and weakness is profound when someone is nearing the end of their life. The person may talk slower, move even slower, and one of the reasons this may occur is because of the medications they are taking. According to Dr. O’Connor, many people who are in the final days of their lives are on heavy painkillers, which can slow them down. She also adds that having out-of-balance electrolytes can add to this as well. In addition to weakness and fatigue, Dr. O’Connor says that in the final hours, some people have what is called a “death rattle” when they breathe. This occurs because the person is unable to cough up or swallow discharges. It’s painless for the person, but can be troubling for loved ones. 3 Slipping Away: According to Dr. O’Connor, when a person dies, physicians will check for two types of death; cardiac death and brain death. If a person is a ‘vegetable’, that means that they have no brain activity and life support is what is keeping the organs functioning. Dr. O’Connor states that at that point, life support is turned off because they have passed on. But she also mentions that it can be trickier when it comes to cardiac death. In many cases, a person’s heart stops but is then restarted and functions normally. 4 Changes After Death: According to Medscape, there are stages that the body goes through immediately after death. The first stage is Rigor Mortis. This is when the body begins to stiffen. In most cases, this begins to occur within a couple of hours after the person has died. Rigor mortis begins to pass within 24 hours after death. 5 Livor Mortis: Livor mortis is also known as hypostasis. It is the discoloration of a person's skin after blood pools in the dependent parts of a person's body after death. After rigor mortis occurs, livor Mortis begins. Livor Mortis is when purple-red coloration appears in certain areas of the body. This occurs because the blood begins to settle in the body under the force of gravity. The reason the blood begins to pool is because the heart no longer circulate the blood. 6 Tardieu Spots: When the body dies, certain vessel areas begin to rupture. Medscape states that Tardieu spots are hemorrhages that develop in areas of dependency. The increased pressure and gravity is what causes this to occur. Tardieu spots are characterized by purple or black spots on the skin which can develop after death. 7 Algor Mortis: Algor mortis is considered the second stage of death. This occurs when the body's temperature begins to change. Naturally, our bodies are extremely warm. It’s the only way for blood to properly flow through the body. But once the body dies, the temperature begins to cool off. With no blood to flow through the body, it’s natural that it begins to cool down. This can happen gradually, but if the temperature is cooler than the body temperature at the time of death, it can happen immediately according to Medscape. 8 Tache Noire: When the eyes are not completely shut when someone dies, tache noire occurs. Medscape explains that this happens because post-mortem drying begins to occur. It’s a dark, red-brown stripe that appears across the eyes. 9 Decomposition: According to Medscape, decomposition is a process of endogenous autolysis and putrefaction. Autolysis is the destruction of cell tissues by their own enzymes. Putrefaction is rotting or decaying of a body.

Early ovarian cancer symptoms, that should never be ignored. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. For many years scientists and researchers have worked around the clock to try and find cures for every type of cancer. To the present day we are still learning about this deadly disease, and without a cure, we are left watching out for signs and symptoms that can help lead to a diagnosis. #OvarianCancer #OvarianCancerSymptoms #CancerSymptoms Timestamps: 1. Constant Bloating: 2. Pain In Your Pelvis or Lower Abdomen: 3. Eating Issues: 4. Urgent Need to Urinate: Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1. Constant Bloating: If you are experiencing constant bloating that is out of the ordinary (usually lasting for three weeks or longer), this could be a sign of ovarian cancer. The best thing to do in this situation is to consult your doctor to get a proper diagnosis. If you are experiencing unusual bloating that lasts for more than three weeks, you should speak to your doctor to rule out the possibility of ovarian cancer or any other type of cancer, particularly if you are over the age of 50 or if there is a history of breast or ovarian cancer in your family, which can put you at higher risk for developing those types of cancers. 2. Pain In Your Pelvis or Lower Abdomen: It is normal for women to feel pain in their stomach, pelvis and abdomen area during menstruation. But when that pain does not subside long after the woman is done menstruating, it could be a sign of ovarian cancer. This sign is particularly important for women to watch out for because it is often mistaken for period pain. If you experience any unusual pain in your pelvis, lower abdomen, or even feel fatigue in your legs, it is best to speak to a doctor. In addition to pain in your pelvis or lower abdomen, another symptom of ovarian cancer is extreme fatigue. If you are feeling extremely tired or weak, or your body and muscles do not feel as strong as they used to, monitor your body. If this continues over a period of weeks, it is best to consult your doctor. Be sure to mention any other unusual health issues or symptoms you may be experiencing. 3. Eating Issues: If you notice that you are becoming less hungry over a three-week span, you should go consult your doctor. It could be issues with your stomach or intestines, but it could also be a sign of ovarian cancer, so it’s best not to leave it up to chance. In addition to losing your appetite, another common symptom of ovarian cancer is a constant feeling of being full, increased weight loss, or excessive weight gain. In addition to these types of eating issues, you may also experience heartburn and gastrointestinal issues such as burping. Other symptoms or signs of ovarian cancer include constipation, diarrhea, nausea, indigestion and heartburn. If you are experiencing issues with weight loss or gain, or have noticed that you have developed unusual or painful stomach issues, speak to your doctor immediately to rule out the possibility of ovarian cancer. 4. Urgent Need to Urinate: If you notice that you are constantly running to the bathroom to urinate and you have made no changes to the amount of liquid you consume, this could be an early sign of ovarian cancer. Also, if you feel fine one minute and two minutes later you are running to the bathroom, it could be a bladder infection but also ovarian cancer.

The health benefits of walking every day. Staying in shape can be difficult, but it’s something that everyone should do to ensure their health. However, you don’t need to join a gym or run five kilometers every day. Regular walks can be enough to improve your health and keep you fit. The health benefits of walking regularly are numerous. #Walking #Walk #Health Timestamps: 1. Improves mental health: 1:34 2. Effectively aids in weight loss: 3:03 3. Decreases the risk of certain cancers: 4:50 4. Helps to boost your immune system: 5:50 5. Reduces cravings for sweets and the need for “stress eating”: 7:42 6. Helps with mobility into advanced age: 8:30 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1. Improves mental health: One of the main benefits of walking is that it can improve your mood. According to the Mayo Clinic, walking can help improve symptoms of depression and anxiety. Exercise is a huge part of our mental health. It's no coincidence that you find yourself in a good mood after a workout! Exercise releases endorphins, which is the body's "feel good" hormones which improve mood. Exercising does wonders for both our mental and our physical health, and can help reduce stress. It can also reduce depression and can improve anxiety. If you find that you are stressed out all the time or become anxious about things that you can’t control in life, try incorporating exercise into your life. A short, brisk walk when you are feeling stressed or anxious can do wonders for your mind. It will clear your head and reduce the stress that you are feeling. Not only can a walk help reduce your stress and make you happier, but it is also great for your physical health! When you start noticing that your body is changing and you are getting into shape, you will feel much better about yourself. Your overall mental and physical well being will have greatly improved - try it out! 2. Effectively aids in weight loss: Researchers at Harvard Medical School found that walking regularly can reduce the effects of 32 obesity-promoting genes in the human body. If you are trying to lose weight, try combining an exercise regimen and good diet plan into your life. Eliminate fatty, greasy foods from your diet and add in foods that are nutrient rich and good for your health. If you change your diet and start exercising regularly, you will start to lose weight and feel much better about yourself. All it takes is a bit of a lifestyle change, and, of course, consistency! 3. Decreases the risk of certain cancers: Two studies from the American Society for Clinical Oncology showed that walking three hours a week can reduce the risk of dying from breast or bowel cancer by half. 4. Helps to boost your immune system: Walking at least 30 minutes a day was shown to increase the level of cells in the body’s immune system in a study done at Appalachian State University in North Carolina. 5. Reduces cravings for sweets and the need for “stress eating”: Studies from the University of Exeter found that walking for just 15 minutes can help to curb cravings for sugary foods. It was also found to reduce cravings during stressful situations. So if you are trying to lose weight but just can’t seem to kick those cravings, go for a brisk walk. Not only will it take your mind off of your hunger, but it will also help burn extra calories! You can also try drinking water any time you get a craving. Water makes us feel full, so if you get a craving and want to kick it, try gulping down a big glass of water to eliminate the urge to indulge in sweets. 6. Helps with mobility into advanced age: A study by the American Medical Association concluded that one of the greatest benefits of walking is that it promoted better physical health in people aged 70 to 89. Those who got regular exercise in their younger years dramatically decreased their chances of having any physical disability. Another great benefit of walking is that it helps cardiovascular health. A study from the Harvard Medical School found that walking roughly 20 minutes a day can reduce the risk of heart disease by 30%.

Gross beauty habits that some girls really do. Girls go through an awful lot to appear ‘presentable.’ From hours of makeup, to straightening (or curling) their hair, to having their nails and toenails done days prior, the effort and time that it takes for women to get ready is astronomically higher than men’s. For an important event, a guy might shower and put on a pair of jeans, but other than a wedding or the NBA Finals, a guy is rarely ever slipping out of his basketball shorts or baggy sweatpants. #LifeHacks #Tips #BeautyHacks Timestamps: 6. Shameless selfies: 0:09 5. Hair: 1:36 4. Makeup bad habits: 2:42 3. Bad nail habits: 3:24 2. Not cleaning or sterilizing items: 4:17 1. Not cleaning makeup utensils: 5:30 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 6. Shameless selfies: Okay, this is one most people are guilty of - but girls more so than males. Believe it or not, the selfie that you saw on Facebook or Instagram likely took over 50 shots from different angles. That’s right, when girls are taking selfies, they will try the same shot multiple times to get that one perfect photo. And when their friends are taking pictures of them, they will often go to great lengths to ensure that the photo is Instagram worthy (lying down on the floor or climbing on top of a book shelf for that perfect angle, for example). In fact, when most girls take selfies, it’s a huge process. From putting on the makeup, to doing the hair, to getting the right outfit, it’s almost as if they’re getting ready for a real photoshoot! 5. Hair: Just like girls tend to have bad habits when it comes to their hygiene, make up, and nails, they also tend to have some pretty gross habits when it comes to taking care of their hair. Some girls, for example, leave loads of hair on a hairbrush and refuse to clean it up for a very, very long time. This can accumulate to a massive hairball just sitting on the hair brush, growing and growing after each use. At least it’s not a wet hairball at the bottom of the drain, right? 4. Makeup bad habits: There are so many bad habits associated with makeup, that it deserved its own section. Not only do lots of women avoid cleaning up their makeup tools at all costs, but they also lend their unhygienic and dirty makeup to friends! And just like sharing dirty makeup amongst friends is never a good idea, girls tend to do the same thing with sample makeup. Using sample makeup without cleaning or disinfecting it first is a bad habit that most girls are absolutely guilty of. It’s bad enough not cleaning your own makeup utensils, but using one that is open to the public without cleaning it first is just a giant no-no. 3. Bad nail habits: Many people bite their nails - whether they are males or females. But believe it or not, some females have the bad habit of biting their fake nails. Not only do some females bite their fake nails, but some of them even have the bad habit of throwing said bitten off fake nails at an unsuspecting target. Watch out, folks! 2. Not cleaning or sterilizing items: This can go for lots of different things. For example, lots of girls won’t bother cleaning their earrings, belly button rings, and studs for an extended period of time (and when I say an extended period of time, I mean an extended period of time). This can lead to potential infections or skin issues. Aside from the fact that it’s just plain gross and unhygienic. 1. Not cleaning makeup utensils for months at a time. Not only will this ruin a contour or a shade that you are trying to create, but it also stores bacteria, germs and dead skin on a brush for months on end. Despite all this, some females (actually, a lot of them) don’t clean their makeup products for months at a time. Sometimes they are too lazy, or just flat out forget.

Has your dermatologist told you about these facts and secrets? Dermatology is defined as the branch of medicine that deals with the treatment and diagnosis of skin disorders. The human skin, on average, covers an area of 2 square meters, it accounts for 15 percent of our body weight and on average weighs about 9 pounds (with 11 miles of blood vessels too). So it is no surprise that dermatologists have to deal with a person’s entire body. #Dermatologist #SkinCare #Skin Timestamps: 1. Sunscreen: 2. Dermatologists are doctors: 3. Infections can do a lot of damage to the body: 4. Cleaning your face: 5. Expensive doesn’t always mean the best: 6. Drink water - and lots of it: 7. Shaving: Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1. Sunscreen: Dermatologists ALWAYS advise the use of sunscreen. Sun damage isn’t solely determined by the naked eye; a UV lamp would paint a much better picture. In the United States, melanoma kills one person every hour. This is why dermatologists always recommend using sunscreen, even if you will be out in the sun for shorter periods of time. It protects your skin and will help you in the long run. Although this should be common knowledge, dermatologists say that most people don’t actually know how dangerous the sun can be, and recommend wearing sunscreen for this very reason. Not only does your body need protection from the sun's harmful rays, but sunscreen can also help prevent skin discolorations as well as facial brown spots. Sunscreen can also reduce the appearance of veins and blotchiness and even slows down aging skin. Wearing sunscreen can help slow down the development of wrinkles! And, most importantly, scientists have discovered that cancer rates are significantly on the rise - and sun screen is a proven method of reducing the risk of developing skin cancer. 2. Dermatologists are doctors: Dermatologists are ‘skin care doctors’. They specialize in the care of skin, the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases, and more. They are required to go to medical school and treat medical conditions and also perform operations for skin cancers such as melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinomas. 3. Infections can do a lot of damage to the body: The skin can be a marker for a lot of things that are going on inside the body. Vasculitis, for example, can be indicative of an infection, lupus, autoimmune disease or rheumatoid arthritis. Some skin infections don’t have the most pleasant smell. Fungal infections and oozing skin are not generally things that smell great and pus that is drained from cysts and abscesses can downright stink. 4. Cleaning your face: It is always recommended to use a ‘comedone’ or a blackhead extractor tool when getting rid of blackheads. Using your fingers to clean your face can leave your skin pinched or inflamed and can also spread infections. Dermatologists also advise patients not to pick their scabs or pimples with their fingers. This only leads to scarring and puts more dirt and oil on the face or scab. Dermatologists recommend cleaning your face daily, exfoliating, and avoiding touching your face with your hands at all costs. Cleaning your face doesn’t have to be rough and violent, dermatologists say. It is recommended to use a mild, non-soap cleanser to wash your face about once or twice a day. 5. Expensive doesn’t always mean the best: This is a secret that the beauty industry has been trying to hide from people for years. The truth is, the most expensive moisturizers aren’t always the best ones. Dermatologists recommend instead looking for ones that have ceramides because they are one of three types of fats that can help the skin retain water and thus moisture. 6. Drink water - and lots of it: This may seem like common knowledge, but believe it or not, most people don’t know the importance of staying hydrated. There are all sorts of benefits to drinking water. Not only does it flush out toxins and improve your complexion, but it also provides people with energy, boosts their immune system, helps with weight loss, and can even help reduce the appearance of blemishes on your face. 7. Shaving: Shaving hair, whether for men or women, does NOT cause it to come back thicker. Dermatologists recommend not shaving when possible as it can irritate the skin and cause ingrown hairs. Shaving also dries out your skin if not done properly, and can leave welts, marks, and cuts over your skin.

Unusual facts about females that are actually true. You hear the cliches or the stereotypes, but some unusual facts about women are actually true and there are scientific reasons behind them. From a woman’s incredible multi-tasking capabilities to her heightened sense of smell, there are several unusual facts that are uniquely female and only pertain to women. For example, did you know that heels were actually worn by men first? They were considered a type of riding footwear, a symbol of status that made men look taller. Women of the 1600s started wearing heels to show their equality and “masculinise their outfits.” #Females #FactsAboutFemales #Women Timestamps: 1. The heart: 2:28 2. The Brain: 3:58 3. Strength and Health: 5:23 4. Pregnancy: 6:11 5. Emotions and Senses: 7:17 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1. The heart: The female heart is actually very different from a male’s heart. For example, did you know that the female heart beats slightly faster to make up for the fact that it’s smaller? An average adult female heart beats 78-82 times a minute while an average male’s heart only beats 70-72 times a minute, says consultant cardiologist Miles Behan. 2. The Brain: Studies show that although men’s total brain size is larger than women’s brains, a woman’s hippo­campus, a small organ associated to learning and memorization, is larger than a man’s and works differently. Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine also conducted a study which suggests that women are more talkative due to the presence of higher levels of “language protein”, FOXP2, in the brain. Believe it or not, women on average speak 13,000 more words per day than men do! 3. Strength and Health: Although men are generally stronger than females because of their body structure and composition, women do have some body parts which are stronger than their male counterparts! Dr. Katherine Whitcome of Harvard University says women have a stronger and more flexible lower back than men thanks to evolution, as mothers need to stay mobile during pregnancy. 4. Pregnancy: There are all sorts of interesting facts about pregnancy and women. For example, according to The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, pregnant women are more likely to develop Pica, an eating disorder where one has intense cravings for non-food items, such as dirt or chalk. 5. Emotions and Senses: The German Society of Ophthalmology concluded women, on average, cry for 6 minutes while men cry for 2 to 4 minutes. They also concluded that in 65% of cases for women, crying will turn into sobbing versus 6% of cases for men. Women also have a better-developed sense of smell, and certain biological evidence may explain why: it is believed that a woman’s superior smell is cognitive or emotional rather than perceptual.

Avoid eating these 9 foods, if you care about your health. It’s no secret that there are many foods that have been portrayed as healthy when they actually are bad for you. In this video, you will find foods you should never eat that, presented by Jared Koch, who is the founder of Clean Plates. The problem with most food is that it is promoted by companies in such a way that it is convincing to most people. Companies use the words “sugar-free” and “all-natural” on their labels, but that doesn’t necessarily ensure that the food is healthy to eat. #FoodsToAvoid #Foods #Nutrition Timestamps: 1 Canned Tomatoes: 0:54 2 Processed Meat: 2:31 3 Margarine: 4:25 4 Vegetable Oil: 5:22 5 Microwaved Popcorn: 6:18 6 Non-Organic Potatoes: 7:46 7 Table Salt: 8:21 8 Soy Protein Isolate: 9:18 9 Artificial Sweeteners: 9:59 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1 Canned Tomatoes: Canned food contains BPA; which is a toxic chemical that is linked to reproductive abnormalities, increased risk of breast and prostate cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other health problems. The Consumer Report’s testing states that only a couple of servings of canned food can exceed the safety limit for daily BPA exposure for children. 2 Processed Meat: According to a 2011 review of more than 7,000 clinical studies that examined the connection between diet and cancer, processed meats are not healthy and everyone should avoid eating them. This report was commissioned by The World Cancer Research Fund. Koch adds that processed meats are typically made with meats from animals that are raised in animal feeding farms. This means that they are fed growth hormones and other drugs. 3 Margarine: Margarine contains trans-fat, which according to Dr. Mercola, is an unnatural fat. The U.S. Dietary Guidelines states that Americans should consume as little trans-fat as possible. Why? Well according to researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, they estimate that trans fat causes between 72,000 to 228,000 heart attacks, which includes almost 50,000 fatal ones, per year. 4 Vegetable Oil: Mercola states that vegetable oil is highly processed. Mercola adds that when heated, vegetable oil can cause damage by converting good cholesterol into bad cholesterol by oxidizing it. When the oil is heated and mixed with oxygen, it becomes rancid. This is a chemical that should never be consumed because it can lead to vascular disease. According to WebMD, some vegetable oils can also contain trans fats, which you now know is quite harmful to the body. 5 Microwaved Popcorn: Microwaved popcorn contains perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). Both these chemicals show up as contaminants in blood, and when heated up, leach onto the popcorn. These chemicals have several health dangers. The first danger is infertility. According to a study that is published in the journal Human Reproduction, researchers found that PFOA and PFOS increased the odds of infertility. 6 Non-Organic Potatoes: If you are looking for healthy fruits and vegetables, buy organic. Under the USDA organic rules, synthetic agricultural chemicals are not permitted in them. With that said though, not all conventionally grown fruits and vegetables have the same pesticide load. In 2013, 48 fruits and vegetables were tested by the Environment Working Group. Potatoes were among those that had the highest pesticide load. 7 Table Salt: Our bodies need salt in order to live. But the table salt that is found in processed foods is not the same as the salt that our bodies need, says Mercola. Mercola adds that processed salt is 98 percent sodium chloride and the other two percent is man-made chemicals such as moisture and added iodine, which is as harmful to the body, like ferrocyanide and aluminosilicate, which can also be found in processed salt. 8 Soy Protein Isolate: Mercola explains that the number one problem with soybeans is that 90-95 percent of them that are grown in the US are genetically engineered so they can create soy protein isolate. They are grown to withstand other lethal doses of herbicide. 9 Artificial Sweeteners: According to a report found in Appetite, artificial sweeteners such as aspartame have the ability to stimulate your appetite, stimulate fat storage and weight gain and increase carbohydrate cravings. The report also proved that aspartame and saccharin were found to cause more weight gain than sugar.

Did you know that each week, over 3,000 Canadians are diagnosed with some form of cancer? #Cancer #Wellness #HealthTips Timestamps: 1 BPA Lined Cans: 1:46 2 Smoked Foods: 2:49 3 Farm Fish: 3:49 4 Grilled Meat: 4:25 5 Hydrogenated Oils: 4:58 6 Microwaved Popcorn: 5:31 7 Non-Organic Vegetables and Fruits: 6:25 8 Sugar: 6:42 9 Soft Drinks and Sports Drinks: 7:33 10 Soy Protein Isolate: 7:58 11 White Flour: 8:35 12 Processed Foods: 9:28 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1 BPA Lined Cans: A lot of the major food companies coat the lining of their canned foods with Bisphenol A (BPA). According to studies done on human and animal cells, BPA has been linked to several health issues. These include cancer, infertility, obesity, and diabetes. 2 Smoked Foods: Smoked meats contain harmful carcinogens called nitrates and nitrites that help prevent it from spoiling. But when the smoked meat is cooked, those nitrates and nitrites turn into N-nitroso compounds which include nitrosamines and nitrosamides. N-nitroso compounds can increase your risk of developing cancer. 3 Farm Fish: A lot of the fish that you get at the grocery store come from a farm. You might think that it’s safer to get your fish from a farm instead of the wild. Unfortunately, you’d be mistaken. Fish contains high levels of omega-3. Wild fish get their omega-3 from the aquatic plants in the water. Farmed fish are fed an unnatural, high-corn diet which includes other pollutants and chemicals. Some of these chemicals also include pesticides which help prevent sea lice from spreading. 4 Grilled Meat: Nothing is better than cooking grilled meat under a nice fire. But what if I told you that this can increase your chances of getting cancer? Well, it’s true! Cooking meat under a fire can create carcinogenic compounds called heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. According to research and studies done on animals, these dangerous chemicals have been shown to cause cancer. 5 Hydrogenated Oils: You increase your chances of developing breast cancer of you constantly consume hydrogenated oils. In order to prevent the product from going bad, manufacturers have processed the oil by creating a chemical reaction with hydrogen. 6 Microwaved Popcorn: The bags are lined with Perfluoroalkyls, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). These are used to prevent the oil from seeping through the package when it’s heating up. Unfortunately when you heat up the bagged popcorn, these chemicals end up in the popcorn. In many studies, PFOA has been associated with tumors in animal organs. Not to mention the PFOA plant workers are also at risk of developing prostate cancer as well. 7 Non-Organic Vegetables and Fruits: Crops that are conventionally grown and induced with pesticides, GMO seeds, and herbicides. All three of these chemicals are dangerous for your health because they contain carcinogens. 8 Sugar: If you have a sweet tooth, you might want to try and cut down. Cancer cells feed off of sugar. What sugar does is it feeds tumors and encourages cancer cells to grow. 9 Soft Drinks and Sports Drinks: Studies have confirmed that there is a link between cancer and soft drinks like soda. They can increase the insulin production in the pancreas which can double the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Not to mention most soft drinks and sports drinks contain no nutritional value and also rob your body of its essential vitamins and minerals. 10 Soy Protein Isolate: According to statistics, between 90 to 95 percent of all US-grown soybeans that are used to create soy protein isolate are genetically altered. If the body is unable to digest and absorb nutrients, it won’t be able to properly fight developing cancer cells. 11 White Flour: If you’re buying commercially-grown white flour, you should know how it’s processed. The seeds are treated with fungicide. Then they are sprayed with pesticides. Then they are stored in bins that are coated with insecticides. 12 Processed Foods: As I have mentioned already with smoked meats, processed foods also contain nitrates and nitrites that can increase the risk of you developing stomach cancer and other cancers. A lot of processed foods also contain large amounts of white flour, which I just mentioned goes through a dangerous process and contains many harmful chemicals.

The Glute Bridge: Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1. The Plank: The plank is a core exercise which strengthens your abdominal area, shoulders and back. It is one of the most important exercises you can do because it strengthens your core and helps with posture. It also helps to reduce or prevent back pain and improves your balance. A strong core will improve your overall performance and also help with the overall daily tasks you perform every day. By working out your core, you strengthen your entire body and also protect your body from undue injury. The plank also helps strengthen and develop your abs. To perform a plank, get down on the floor into a push-up position. Bend your elbows 90 degrees and rest your weight on your forearms. Make sure that your elbows are directly underneath your shoulders. 2. The Push-Up: Push-ups are one of the oldest and most important exercises in the book. They work as a full-body exercise and build strength in your forearms, chest, shoulders, back, abs and legs. They also engage your core and increase your strength. 3. The Squat: The Squat is another compound movement which effectively works multiple muscles in your body. It is one of the essential exercises to strengthen your core, your legs (quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and glutes), hips, and your back. Squats are a staple exercise in increasing your lower body strength. They also stimulate muscle growth, strengthen your joints, and even improve your balance. Squats also engage your core and lower back while improving your posture at the same time. 4. The Bird Dog: Like the plank, the bird dog works your core as well as your lower back, and helps to improve your overall balance. The bird dog will also strengthen your back, especially your lumbar spine. It is beneficial in strengthening your core and your stabilizer muscles. 5. The Glute Bridge: The glute bridge is an exercise which primarily targets your glutes, but it also targets your core as well as your hips and is a key exercise in preventing lower back pain. You don’t have to use any equipment for this exercise so you can do it anywhere you please, even in the comfort of your own living room.

This dentist refused to perform root canals for over 20 years, here is why. For an adult, a root canal is a common procedure. It might seem like a wise choice because it helps treat and also protect any tooth that has become toxic. Thankfully, Dr. Robert Kulacz, a dentist and author of the book The Toxic Tooth: How A Root Canal Could Be Making You Sick, has done extensive research to answer the question: “Is it wise to get a root canal?” #Dentist #RootCanal #RootCanalTherapy Timestamps: 1 - What Is A Root Canal? 1:19 2 - Root Canal Bacteria Can Worsen Other Diseases 03:48 3 - Root Canal Teeth Can Get Infected Over Time 4:52 4 - Necrotic Tissue Can Cause Problems 05:16 5 - How to Avoid A Root Canal 05:52 6 - Brush With Toothpaste Containing Fluoride 07:27 7 - Root Canal Alternatives 07:59 8 - Extraction 08:46 9 - Dental Bridges 09:14 10 - Cantilever bridges 09:52 11 - Maryland Bridges 10:04 12 - Implant-Supported Bridges 10:14 13 -Pulp capping 10:28 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: let’s analyze why Dr. Kulacz has refused to perform root canals for over 20 years. What Is A Root Canal? The Canadian Dental Association defines a root canal procedure as the process of removing infected, injured or dead pulp from a tooth. When bacteria enter your tooth through deep cavities, cracks or even flawed fillings, your tooth can become abscessed. An abscessed tooth is a tooth that has become infected with pulp. If this pulp becomes infected, doctors will recommend that it needs to be removed. If it’s not, it can cause pain and swelling. Root Canal Bacteria Can Worsen Other Diseases: Because a root canal tooth is technically infected, it can contribute to certain health problems which include heart disease, according to Kulacz. Root Canal Teeth Can Get Infected Over Time: Kulacz explains that because root canal teeth no longer have a blood supply, the bacteria is essentially hidden from the immune system. What’s worse is that the root canal can become more infected because of the influx of bacteria from the gum tissue that is surrounding the tooth. Necrotic Tissue Can Cause Problems: When someone gets a root canal, the tooth is no longer alive. This means that it should never be left in your body. Take appendicitis for example; the doctor doesn’t just isolate it; he completely removes your appendix. Unfortunately, when it comes to a root canal, this rule is not applied, according to Kulacz. He adds that when patients came to him as a last resort, their chronic health issues were resolved once he removed their root canal and the infection was treated. How to Avoid A Root Canal: According to Main Street Dental Clinics, there are a few ways you can avoid having root canal treatment. The first way is to maintain a healthy diet. According to Ramiel Nagel, the author of Cure Tooth Decay, the human body can protect itself from infection when we consume food that keeps our body balanced. According to Colgate, eliminating sugars from your diet and replacing them with fruits and vegetables also helps. Brush With Toothpaste Containing Fluoride: The Carlson Biological Dentistry states that brushing your teeth every day with fluoride toothpaste can help scrub away the bacteria that is causing cavities. Fluoride gives your teeth extra protection against decay. Extraction: One alternative to root canal is extraction. When a tooth is extracted, it is completely removed from a patient’s mouth. This form of treatment is not usually performed unless the tooth is so severely damaged that it cannot be saved any other way. It is often used as a last resort in the event that the tooth cannot be saved with any other type of treatment. Dental Bridges: In the event that a dentist determines your tooth needs to be extracted, you may want to consider dental bridges. Dental bridges help to close the gap between two missing teeth. They are made of multiple crowns which are found on either side of the gap around an artificial tooth. Cantilever bridges: These bridges are very similar to traditional bridges, but are supported by a crown on just one side. Maryland Bridges: Maryland bridges are held in place by a piece of framework made of two wings of metal on each side of a crown. Implant-Supported Bridges: Implant-supported bridges are used to support multiple gaps in a person’s teeth, and are supported by dental implants rather than dental crowns.

Don't ignore these warning signs that show your liver is full of toxins. The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body. Its main job is to filter the blood that comes from the digestive tract before it is passed to the rest of the body. Every minute, it receives about 30% of the blood that circulates through your body, making it the hardest working organ. There is always a risk that there are toxins in your liver. #Liver #LiverHealth #LiverDisease Timestamps: 1. Pain In Your Liver - 1:16 2. Your Ankles and Legs Will Swell - 2:00 3. Weight Gain - 2:45 4. Allergies - 3:20 5. Yellow Eyes and Skin - 4:05 6. Chronic Fatigue - 4:44 7. Dark Urine Color - 5:41 8. Nausea and Vomiting - 5:56 9. Loss Of Appetite - 6:15 10. High Levels of Cholesterol - 6:30 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: Here are signs that your liver could be full of toxins. 1. Pain In Your Liver: According to Healthline, the first direct sign that your liver is full of toxins is a pain in that general area. The liver is located on the upper right portion of your abdomen, under your stomach and beneath your diaphragm. It is extremely large. The pain that you will feel can be compared to a dull pain. However, depending on the toxins in it, the pain can become unbearable. 2. Your Ankles and Legs Will Swell: The worst thing you can do is ignore your liver issues. If you do this, your liver will be forced to try and repair itself by forming scar tissue. Increased scar tissue makes it extremely tough for the liver to function properly. This will eventually lead to portal hypertension. Portal hypertension is the increased blood pressure within the portal veins. 3. Weight Gain: This can be an easy sign to notice, especially if you live a healthy and active life. If you exercise on a daily basis and have a healthy diet, weight gain should be a red flag for you. If you notice that you’re gaining weight, and it’s not from overeating or a hormonal imbalance, go see your doctor. When the liver is unable to deal with all the toxins coming through, it has to store the unfiltered toxins in fat cells. The only way to start losing weight again is if you help clean out your liver. 4. Allergies: In a lot of cases, your liver being overloaded can cause an allergic reaction. The reason is that there are too many substances entering the bloodstream, and the brain will recognize them as allergens. The brain will immediately release antibodies and chemicals that cause itchy rashes, according to the Daily Health Post. However, if your liver is healthy, it will clear away any potential harmful allergens. Pay close attention to your body. If you notice that you are unusually itchy or have developed a rash, your liver may be overloaded with toxins. 5. Yellow Eyes and Skin: Unless you were born with yellow eyes and skin, this sign is an immediate red flag that there is something wrong with your liver, says the Mayo Clinic. Unnatural yellow eyes and skin mean you’re suffering from jaundice. It’s not an illness but it’s a symptom that your liver is damaged. 6. Chronic Fatigue: Everyone gets tired at times, but fatigue related to liver damage is no normal fatigue. If you have been suffering from constant fatigue for at least 6 months, you could be diagnosed with chronic fatigue, according to the Mayo Clinic. The whole reason why you’re chronically fatigued is that your liver has become toxic. 7. Dark Urine Color: According to Healthline, dark urine is usually a sign of dehydration. But it can also be a sign that your liver is full of toxins and can even signify that you have a liver disease. 8. Nausea and Vomiting: The Mayo Clinic explains that when your liver is full of toxins, you may experience nausea and vomiting because the liver is unable to break down the toxins so they can be properly digested. Watch out for nausea and vomiting along with the other signs in this video. 9. Loss of Appetite: According to the American Liver Foundation, if you have too many toxins in your liver or are starting to develop an acute liver disease, one of the first symptoms you will experience is loss of appetite. 10. High Levels of Cholesterol: A study from the Harvard Medical School in 2005 explains that when your cholesterol levels begin to rise, one of the reasons is because your liver has become extremely toxic.

Reasons why you should sleep on your left side, and how to sleep better. Did you know that over 40% of the American population doesn’t get enough good sleep? This leads to serious health complications such as depression, weight gain, and high blood pressure. But even those who do manage to get the recommended 7-8 hours of sleep may be complicating their health by how they sleep. #Sleep #Sleeping #BestWayToSleep Timestamps: Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: Here are the top reasons why you should sleep on your left side and not sleep on your right side. 1, Digestion: If you are constantly feeling bloated, or having digestion problems, there could be many issues. One issue you might want to look into is how you’re sleeping at night. The stomach and the pancreas are on the left side of our body, so sleeping on the left side will actually help them function properly, says Douillard. When you go to bed, the undigested toxins move from your small intestine to the large one, and then finally make their way to the colon. Once they’re in the colon, they are excreted in the morning. This is why you should sleep on your left side; it helps this process run more smoothly. In fact, experts also suggest that after a big meal, people take a quick power nap on their left side. It will help digest the meal and give you more energy. 2. Heart Health: Your heart is located on the left side of your body. So it makes sense when experts like Dr. Douillard say that you should not sleep on your right side, but instead, sleep on your left side. By sleeping on your left side, you allow for a smoother blood flow towards your heart. The last thing you want to do is put stress on the heart, so sleep on your left side and give your heart and the rest of your body a rest. 3. Pregnant Women: Women need to spend as much time as possible sleeping on their left side, says WebMD. It helps take pressure off their backs and also helps with blood flow to the uterus and fetus. Many pregnant women develop issues to their spine, so by sleeping on their left side, they will help relieve pressure on their spine. It also helps with the flow of nutrients to the placenta, which will help keep the baby healthy. The best position to sleep for pregnant women is on the left side, with their knees bent and a pillow in-between. 4. Snoring: Are you up at all hours of the night because your partner is snoring? If this is the case, there is no harm in trying to tell them to sleep on their left side. Snoring occurs when air flows past the relaxed tissues in a person's throat. This air flow causes the tissues in the throat to vibrate when we breath. This is what creates the sounds of snoring. This occurs as the muscles in the roof of your mouth, tongue, and throat begin to relax. The more narrow a person's airway is, the more powerful the airflow becomes, and the louder the snoring. Sleep specialist W. Christopher Winter told CNN that by sleeping on the left side, you are actually keeping your tongue and throat in a neutral position. This will help keep your airway clear so you can breathe properly. It’s also known that sleeping on your back makes snoring even worse because it pushes your muscles to the back of your throat.

The 8 most addictive substances on the planet. It’s no secret; drugs play a big problem in our society, and over the years we have seen certain drugs become increasingly popular, which has led to them becoming more addictive. Ranking them on their addictive qualities can be difficult though, since people react differently to different substances. Despite that fact, a group of addiction experts that includes specialists from the Royal College of Psychiatrists as well as scientists, chemists, and pharmacologists took a stab at it. #Addiction #MostAddictive #DrugAddiction Timestamps: 1 Heroin: 2 Crack Cocaine: 3 Nicotine: 4 Methadone: 5 Methamphetamine: 6 Alcohol: 7 Cocaine: 8 Amphetamines: Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: let’s find out what the top 8 addictive drugs on the planet are. 1 Heroin: It’s been called the king of narcotics for a long time, so it’s no surprise that it ended up on the rankings, and also as the #1 addictive drug. It has the ability to quickly penetrate the brain and activate the brain's “reward system”. 2 Crack Cocaine: Crack is the purest form of cocaine. It appears as yellowish-white rocks, and is mainly ingested through a heated glass pipe. Exactly like heroin, crack cocaine activates the brain's reward system and causes large amounts of dopamine, the neurotransmitter that is directly responsible for the release of feelings and pleasure. 3 Nicotine: People really underestimate the addictive potency of nicotine just because it’s legal. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, nearly 35 million smokers attempt/want to quit each year. However, 85% that attempt to quit, relapse in a week. 4 Methadone: This addictive drug is usually used to treat heroin or morphine addictions, so from a clinical aspect, this is a good drug to be addicted to. Though becoming addicted to this drug from while under direct supervision is low (1%), those who take it recreationally can quickly become addicted. The effects of this drug are very similar to heroin, but the withdrawal can be very painful and difficult. The average time frame is a month. The dependence rating for methadone is 2.62. 5 Methamphetamine: Two chemicals in the brain are imitated when this drug is consumed: dopamine and norepinephrine, both which are responsible for feelings and alertness. 6 Alcohol: Like many other drugs on this list, alcohol triggers the brain's reward system and produces satisfaction and pleasure. It also increases the brain’s levels of endorphins, which is the brain's natural painkiller. Which is why when most people get drunk, all their problems go away. 7 Cocaine: Cocaine is a powerful stimulant drug which is made from the leaves of coca plants which are native to South America. It is a fine white powder which is sometimes mixed with materials like cornstarch or powder by street dealers. Cocaine is snorted through the nose and creates a feeling of extreme mental alertness, extreme happiness or energy, irritability, paranoia, and more. Though cocaine does not have the same withdrawal symptoms as alcohol does, it does trick the brain in the same way. It drastically increases the level of dopamine which causes intense cravings. 8 Amphetamines: Not as addictive as meth, but still preys on the brain's reward system. Aside from causing quick tolerance and cravings, amphetamine offers a wide range of effects.

These are the differences between genuine and fake people Surrounding yourself with people that have good values, a strong head on their shoulders and are loyal to a fault is essential for moving forward in life. But you have to ask yourself this question: are they actually the person they portray themselves to be? #FakePeople #FakeFriends #RealFriends Timestamps: 1 Respectful vs. Condescending: 1:12 2 Seek No Recognition vs. Needing Recognition: 2:22 3 Hidden vs. Spotlight: 3:25 4 Humble vs. Conceited: 4:23 5 In Front of You Vs. Behind You: 5:40 6 Walk vs. Talk: 7:16 7 Imperfection vs. Perfection: 8:35 8 No Ulterior Motives vs. Ulterior Motives: 9:14 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: Here are some helpful hints that could help you separate a fake person from a genuine one. 1 Respectful vs. Condescending: Someone who has a genuine personality will do everything in their power to respect everything and anyone. They take a person’s feelings into consideration and will do everything in their power to make someone feel comfortable no matter the situation. Someone who has a fake personality will only respect those who are in power because they always want to gain something out of any situation, so if they have to put on some acting skills to get what they want, they will. 2 Seek No Recognition vs. Needing Recognition: When it comes to making someone happy, a genuine individual will never go out of their way to get recognition; all they want is for the person to be happy. Sometimes they will keep their actions hidden. Fake people are the total opposite. They will do everything in their power to help you and tell everyone about it because they want to be seen as the favorite and they want everyone to know it. 3 Hidden vs. Spotlight: Spending time alone can do wonders for the mind, and genuine people understand that. They have no problem staying in their comfort zone, even if that means spending hours alone. People around them respect and understand their decision and will often follow their lead at times. Fake people are the total opposite. They crave attention and will do whatever they need to stay in the spotlight because they believe that the world revolves around them. 4 Humble vs. Conceited: It’s nice to be recognized for special achievements in life, but nobody likes a bragger. That is why genuine people are humbled by their achievements and prefer not talking about them. They would much rather hear about other people’s achievements. Because fake people need to be the center of attention, they will constantly brag about their achievements, you might even hear them tell the same story more than once. They need to be the alpha of the group at all times. 5 In Front of You Vs. Behind You: If someone is a genuine individual and they have something to say about you, they will tell you to your face. They have no hidden motive and respect you enough to tell you. They hope that the conversation will resolve any issue that may have surfaced. Fake people are cowards when it comes to confrontation. They will smile when they see you, but the second you turn your back, you become their enemy. They love to gossip and enjoy drama. 6 Walk vs. Talk: Someone with a genuine personality will do everything in their power to not break a promise. If they do not follow through with it, they take ownership of it and do not resort to excuses. A fake person will talk a big game and will rarely come through. Unlike a genuine person, a fake person will give you a long list of excuses, and you might even notice that they will constantly use the same ones. 7 Imperfection vs. Perfection: Genuine people are always looking to learn new lessons from others. They are also very gracious and admirable to people. They know that they’re not perfect and will thank someone anytime they learn something from them. Fake people will go out of their way to be critical in any situation. They will constantly be looking for mistakes people make and will criticize them for it. They feel accomplished when they are able to spot mistakes. 8 No Ulterior Motives vs. Ulterior Motives: When someone with a genuine personality helps you, it’s because they want to. They don’t need any recognition or any praise, they want to make sure that you’re happy and safe. Fake people have that “I scratch your back you scratch mine” type of mentality. If they help you, they want something in return. If they sense that there is no reciprocation, they won’t lift a finger.
