Signs that your body is low on essential vitamins. Having a well-balanced and nutritious diet can provide your body with many health benefits. But with every balanced and nutritious diet, there is always someone who has a diet that is lacking certain nutrients. This can cause some unpleasant symptoms. We tend to get frustrated when these symptoms occur, but this is the only way your body can communicate that you have certain vitamin or mineral deficiencies. By recognizing them, you’ll be able to rectify your diet accordingly. Of course, if you think that you may have a vitamin deficiency, it is always in your best interest to consult with a doctor first before making any change to your health care or diet. #Diet #Health #Vitamins Timestamps: 1 Brittle Hair and Nails: 1:13 2 Mouth Ulcers: 2:26 3 Bleeding Gums: 3:51 4 Poor Vision At Night: 5:16 5 Scaly Patches and Dandruff: 5:43 6 Hair Loss: 6:36 7 White and Red Bumps On Your Skin: 8:24 8 Restless Leg Syndrome: 9:17 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1 Brittle Hair and Nails: One of the main vitamin deficiencies that can cause brittle hair and nails is biotin deficiency. According to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, individuals who constantly consume raw egg whites over long periods of time can become biotin deficient. 2 Mouth Ulcers: Have you ever gotten a canker sore or crack on the side of your mouth? If you have, chances are you may be suffering from low iron or vitamin B. According to one study published on PubMed, 144 patients in the United Kingdom who had oral disease were examined in order to try and resolve the controversy of whether or not levels of hemoglobin, blood cell numbers and indices, and blood film are adequate in the screening of patients with mouth ulcers. 3 Bleeding Gums: Sometimes when you brush your teeth aggressively, you end up with bleeding gums. Other times you may have a serious case of bad oral health, but sometimes a diet that is lacking vitamin C can contribute to your bleeding gums. According to the National Institute of Health, as vitamin C deficiency progresses, collagen synthesis becomes impaired and connective tissues in the body become weak. This can cause several health issues to occur, which includes swollen, bleeding gums and even loosening of teeth, because of how weak the tissues have become. 4 Poor Vision At Night: If your diet is lacking vitamin A, you may suffer from night blindness, according to an article published on PubMed. The article elaborated by explaining that if this symptom is left untreated; it can progress and become xerophthalmia, which is a condition that can damage the cornea and can potentially lead to blindness. 5 Scaly Patches and Dandruff: Scaly patches and dandruff can be caused by many different factors. According to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, vitamin B6 deficiency can be one of them. According to the book Human Vitamin B6 Requirements, one of the main causes of seborrheic dermatitis is vitamin B6 deficiency. If you are unfamiliar with seborrheic dermatitis, it is a common skin condition that mainly affects the scalp. The reason this occurs is that vitamin B6 is important for new cell production. 6 Hair Loss: According to a study published in the British Journal of Dermatology, vitamin D deficiency has been linked to alopecia, the autoimmune condition that causes bald patches on the scalp and other areas of the body. The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the status of vitamin D in patients who had alopecia areata and the relationship between vitamin D levels and the severity of the disease. 7 White and Red Bumps On Your Skin: If you ever have red or white bumps on your skin, you may be suffering from keratosis pilaris – small red or white bumps resembling acne and rough patches of skin on the arms, thighs and buttocks.

Without collagen, your skin becomes weak. 2 Switch to Natural, Organic Food: Your skin craves vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and protein. Nothing provides those better than natural, organic food. Fruits and vegetables are a good start, but if you don’t eat meat, you need to find a substitute to get your protein. Nuts are a good alternative, because they are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. In order for your skin to build elastin and collagen, it needs a sufficient amount of protein. 3 Eat Chocolate: Don’t get too excited, I don’t mean your favorite chocolate bar. I mean dark chocolate with little, to no sugar. A good source is cocoa; it contains two plant chemicals, catechin and epicatechin. These two chemicals help protect the skin against UV damage from the sun. 4 Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate: In order to rejuvenate your skin, you need to remove the dead skin cells.

In fact, studies show that topical vitamin C actually reduces the aging lines on your face. One study showed that participants who used topical vitamin C had an 84% higher satisfaction rate than the controlled group. 7 Use An Avocado Mask: Avocado oil helps your skin absorb nutrients that are essential for maintaining, and strengthening it. It’s a simple mask to make; all you need is one avocado. Remove the pit and mash it and apply it to your face. Leave it there for 10 minutes and then rinse it with warm water. Be careful when applying it around the eyes, you don’t want to irritate your eyes by getting some in them. 8 Try A Cucumber Mask: A cucumber mask is a mixture of cucumber and yogurt. The cucumber cools and soothes your skin, while the yogurt moisturizes it. To make it, all you need to do is mix together cucumber and yogurt and gently apply it to your face and neck and leave it there for 15 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water. 9 Egg White Mask: Egg whites are loaded with nutrients. They contain protein which helps with tissue repair, potassium which hydrates the skin, and magnesium which helps stimulate the skin cells.

When you are dealing with an evil person, these are the warning signs. The term evil is interpreted many different ways. When we’re talking about true evil, it’s much more intelligent and will often seem like it’s not even there. Are we born evil? Mankind is essentially good – no matter what they turn out to be, there is always good inside. But at the same time, no matter how much we want to see the good in people, there will always be someone who will use the good inside them to do something sinister. These people are genuinely evil, and they enjoy every second of it. #Evil #Person #EvilPerson Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: Now, let’s talk about the 12 warning signs that an evil/narcissist person will give off. Denying Reality: The truth that you know to be is not something that a truly evil person will agree upon. They know a much different truth and will never agree with the reality that really is. Twisting Facts: The secret to their craft is being able to twist any facts that they come across. In their situation, it would be any facts that that do not fall under their goals and the manipulative reality they’re trying to accomplish. Misleading: If they come across some information that they feel they could use, they will use some of that truth in a misleading way to make you feel afraid, vulnerable, attacked, or incompetent. Constant Lying: They lie as a way of constructing who they are. They cannot tell a story without adding in something juicy. The reason they constantly lie is because they take pleasure in fooling others around them. Feel No Remorse: They have no feelings of remorse for anyone they have destroyed, will destroy or are planning to destroy. People are just pawns in their chess game, and they feed off of good people because they see weaknesses that they can easily expose. Avoiding Responsibility: Evil people do not take any responsibility for the people they’ve harmed. The minute they start to sense some sort of blame, they will redirect it before it makes its way to them. Manipulative: They are champions of manipulation. They plan 10 steps ahead and always know the direct purpose of what they’re doing. They know exactly how to make you feel incompetent, and they know how to take all the credit for doing it. Fair-Weather Friends: If they come to your rescue, it’s not because they wanted to help you, it only serves the purpose of which involves them. You might find that they’re there for the good times, but can never be found when the bad times come around. Don’t expect support from these people. If they are giving you support, chances are they’re playing you in some sort of way. Steal Your Time: You may not notice that they will constantly try and distract you so you lose track of time. They sense that you’re better than them because of your obligations, so they try to disrupt them. Double Lives: They will never reveal that they are living a double life. Because they’re entire life is covered with lies, they will have a different picture painted of themselves for a variety of people. Very Controlling: With all the lies they are telling, they have to always be in control of the situation. The second they sense that someone is trying to earn their trust and be a genuine friend, they will get possessive and controlling. High Self-Esteem: Researchers found that people who expressed a high sense of authenticity also had a high self-esteem. They Share Their Thoughts and Feelings: Someone who is genuinely a good person will share their thoughts and feelings about the world. They are a big extrovert and are not afraid to dispute any arguments or conversations if they see necessary. They Openly Give and Receive Compliments: Everyone likes compliments, but it can be hard to tell if the comments are authentic or fake. They Love to Listen and Prefer Deep Conversations: If you notice that one of your friends is always asking you to talk about life and personal things, don’t be alarmed, they are just taking interest in your life and want to pick your brain. They Listen to Their Inner Voice Rather Than Their Surroundings: We have all made impulse decisions at some point in our life; but a genuinely good person will make an impulse decision based on what they feel from the inside.

Eating these Superfoods will help you lose weight fast. Weight loss is one of the most challenging things to do in life. Many people think the challenge is all physical; but if you look closer, there are a lot of mental challenges that come along with it. For instance, exercising on a daily basis can be hard, especially if it’s never been part of your daily routine. Another mental challenge is changing your lifestyle choices. This includes what you eat and how much you eat that can help you lose weight. #Diet #Health #Food Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: Here are the top 20 weight loss superfoods that you should be incorporating into your diet 1 Almonds: Sass says that almonds are a terrific source of mono- and polyunsaturated fats. These help lower your cholesterol and keep unwanted weight off your body. 2 Apples: Apples have pectin, which naturally slows down digestion and provides your body with a fullness feeling. But not everyone will substitute an apple for a meal, so Sass recommends that people try and incorporate them into their meals. 3 Artichokes: According to Sass, artichokes are extremely filling. In fact, she says that they are one of the highest-fiber vegetables in the world. One single boiled artichoke contains 10.3 grams of fiber. 4 Avocados: According to the Department of Internal Medicine and Nutritional Sciences Program of the University of Kentucky, consuming high amounts of fiber is associated with a lower risk of developing a coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, stroke, and obesity. Avocados also enhance weight loss. 5 Bananas: Sass explains that bananas are a great source of resistant starch – which is important in terms of weight loss. The body naturally digests resistant starch slowly, which helps you feel full longer. They also encourage your liver to go into fat burning mode. 6 Black Beans: These beans are members of the pulse family. This means that they help burn calories, reduce your belly fat, and give you that fuller feeling, says Sass. 7 Carrots: This vegetable can help you lose weight. Sass says that carrots have high water and fiber content, so they make you feel fuller. 8 Chili Peppers: Chili peppers have a great effect on your metabolism, says Sass. They contain capsaicin, which increases the body’s ability to burn fat. 9 Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is positive for your waistline. Sass explains that it contains healthy fats, which fills you up quickly and also helps you consume fewer overall calories. 10 Coffee: Drinking too much coffee can be harmful to the body. But Sass says that having a cup of coffee a day can actually speed up your metabolism. 11 Dark Chocolate: Sass says that there is no other food on the planet that contains the unique substances that dark chocolate has. It’s a great source of monounsaturated fatty acids, which have the ability to speed up your metabolism. 12 Eggs: Eggs are a great source of protein, which means they will curb your appetite, says Sass. In fact, egg whites are also a , which help keep your metabolism running smoothly. 13 Chickpeas: Sass states that chickpeas also contain 2 grams of resistant starch. As mentioned earlier, resistant starch is digested slower, this helps you feel full for longer, so you don’t consume too many calories. 14 Grapefruit: Grapefruit contains a compound that can lower your insulin, which can lead to weight loss. Sass adds that grapefruits are 90% water, which means they can also act as an appetite suppressor. 15 Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt is a very filling snack. According to a study published in the journal Appetite, people who consumed a high protein yogurt snack three hours before they ate lunch felt full and even ate dinner at a later time than the participants who did not eat yogurt. 16 Kidney Beans: Kidney beans also contain resistant starch, so you know they digest slowly and curb your appetite. But Sass also explains that the omega-3’s and calcium it contains are also extremely beneficial for your heart. 17 Kimchi: Kimchi contains vitamin A, B, and C, which help the body with digestion. 18 Lentils: Lentils are considered one of the world’s healthiest foods, says Sass. They contain protein, fiber, and resistant starch, so you will be full for hours, but will also have a lot of energy to burn off calories. 19 Oatmeal: According to Sass, oatmeal is another great source for metabolism-boosting resistant starch. 20 Potatoes: They are a great source of resistant starch, so if you eat them moderately, you can burn fat.

Learn which foods cause Cancer and avoid them. Learn how you can still get cancer even if you don't smoke or drink and eat well and exercise. Cancer is a very common disease in this day-and-age. According to statistics, 1 in 3 people will get it at some point in their life. This is a pretty big number, and may come as a shock to a lot of you. But facts are facts, and it is extremely important to understand what factors may put certain people at risk for certain diseases. #Cancer #PreventCancer #CancerFood Timestamps: 1. Pesticides: 2:03 2. Preservatives: 3:26 3. Adulterants: 4:54 4. Hygiene: 6:18 5. Degreening Agents: 7:09 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: Now, here’s how the quality of the food that you are eating can be setting you up for a cancer diagnosis. 1. Pesticides: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that a pesticide is "any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest". In simple terms, this means that pesticides help protect crops from outside factors or forces that can damage them. For farmers and those who grow their own crops, pesticides are essential because they are used to protect crops from insects. But there is always a risk of developing pesticide poisoning and even cancer. Avoiding fruits and vegetables is not the answer to avoiding these risks, but switching to more organic foods may be the best way to move forward. 2. Preservatives: Preservatives were used to keep foods safe and edible for long periods of time. Preservatives are chemicals which are added to foods to prevent them from spoiling. They can either be natural or man-made. Many of the packaged foods we buy require some type of preserving agent to protect us from food poisoning. Preservatives are acidic in nature. This prevents organisms from growing in food. Some examples include salt, sugar and vegetable oil. Doesn’t seem so harmless right? They not only preserve the food, but also provide the body with nutrition when consumed at required amounts. 3. Adulterants: Adulterants in food and beverages are considered to be substances which are not legally allowed to be put into the foods we consume. An example of a tampering chemical in the food we are consuming is food colorants. Companies used to use natural food colorants such as pure beet/ pomegranate juice, carrot juice, spinach powder, parsley juice, turmeric powder, blueberry juice and cocoa powder. But because their shelf life is low, they have steered away from them. But now food industries have started using adulterants which range from chalk powder, saw dust, non-permitted dyes to coal tar. Companies have also started using synthetic food colorants such as Red 40, Blue 1 and Yellow 5, even though they are aware that they have been proven to cause long-term health problems. Some other examples of the most common adulterated foods include: vanilla extract, maple syrup, grape wine, apple juice, coffee, orange juice, saffron, and more. 4. Hygiene: We all love street food. Whether it is a tasty hot dog, fresh cut fries, or a delicious hamburger, we all enjoy the nostalgia. Street food is also pretty tempting after a long night out on the town with your friends. Who can resist a little bit of grease after a fun night!? However, there are certain health risks that come from street vendors such as vehicular emission, carbon dioxide and air pollutants, which are all absorbed into the foods we eat. Some risks associated with eating street foods include food borne illnesses like diarrhea, fever, and food poisoning. So as tempting as that greasy street hot dog might seem after a long night of karaoke, it might not be worth it. Eat at your own risk! 5. Degreening Agents: Degreening treatment is used to stimulate the breakdown of chlorophyll in early season harvested citrus. This helps bring out the color of certain fruit peels (oranges and lemons, for example), and is a common commercial practice. As discussed earlier, we do not have the ability to store our vegetables and fruits for long periods of time. So when they are harvested, they are treated with degreening ripening agents such as calcium carbide and ethylene. Calcium carbide can be hazardous to our bodies. This is because calcium carbide is known to contain traces of phosphorus and arsenic. Studies state that eating fruits which have been artificially ripened can be harmful. We unknowingly consume these foods without knowing that we are reducing our life expectancy.

How to get rid of love handles and folds on your back and side. So many people are focused on getting the perfect abs and the perfect waistline. When this happens, they completely forget about their back. Our backs are constantly being used in our daily activities. Bending over to tie a shoe, carrying in groceries or hunching over to use a laptop puts a lot of strain on the back. This can cause us to become slouched and develop folds on our sides and back. Getting rid of these folds is no easy task, but there are effective exercises that can help. #LoveHandles #LoveHandle #FlatStomach Timestamps: 1. Forward Bend: 2:02 2. Side Bends: 2:57 3. Push Ups: 3:46 4. Bow Pose: 4:38 5. The Superman: 5:33 6. Upper Back Lifts On A Stability Ball: 6:15 7. Full Bridge: 7:06 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: Now, here are the top 7 effective exercises that will help rid you of the folds on your sides and back. 1. Forward Bend: This exercise will help you stretch out your back. Nothing helps get rid of folds than stretching them out. Start by standing up straight and keep your feet shoulder-width apart. Try to lean forward without bending your knees and try to touch the floor with both palms. If you can’t touch it with your palms, try and reach it with your fingertips. Try to do 2-3 sets and 10-15 reps per set. There are all sorts of benefits to the forward bend exercise. Not only does this exercise stretch your hips, calves, and hamstrings, but it also strengthens the thighs and knees and keeps your spine flexible and strong. This exercise is also known to help reduce stress, activate the abdominal muscles, and relieve tension in the neck, spine, and back. 2. Side Bends: This is the most beneficial exercise for getting rid of side folds. Start by standing straight with your feet spread wide apart. Raise either of your hands and place it on the back of your neck. On the other hand, you’ll have a dumbbell and begin to lower it. When you’re lowering it, begin to bend your head towards the arm with the dumbbell. Try to do 3 sets and 15-20 reps per set. This unique exercise targets both your external and internal obliques to strengthen the side ab wall. It can help tighten your core, sculpt your waist, and improve both your posture and your stability. Give it a go if you want a tighter core and smoothed out back! 3. Push Ups: Whether you exercise or not, everyone knows this exercise. Start by getting into the plank position with your hands slightly outside your shoulder width. Begin to lower your body until you feel your chest touch the floor. Take a brief pause and push yourself up to the starting position. Attempt to do 3 sets and 20-30 reps per set. 4. Bow Pose: This is a tough exercise to perform if you’re just starting. Begin by lying flat on your stomach. Then pull your arms forward and bend your back and slowly lift your head. Try and lift your legs and bring your heels close to your buttocks. Use both hands to grab your ankles and hold that position. Try and hold that position for 15 to 20 seconds. 5. The Superman: Watch out, Clark Kent! This is a relatively easy but effective exercise for getting rid of folds on the sides and back. Start by lying straight down on your stomach. Stretch out your feet and arms and begin to lift them up at the same time while bending your back. Hold this position for 10 seconds then return to the starting position. Do 3 to 4 sets and 15 to 20 reps per set. 6. Upper Back Lifts On A Stability Ball: This exercise might seem or even look a little bit confusing, but it’s actually pretty easy - and effective! To do this exercise, you’ll need a stability ball. Start by laying your belly on the ball with your legs shoulder-width apart and both palms on the back of your head. Keep your neck straight and lift your head while lowering your shoulders and upper back. Hold the position for 5 seconds then return to the starting position. For best results, do 1 set with 15-20 reps. 7. Full Bridge: This is a more advanced exercise and will require a lot of practice and supervision. Start by lying flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Then bend your arms and put your hands over your head. Begin to press your legs up and bend your back up and lift your body off the ground. If you’re just starting out, only lift your body halfway, this will form a half bridge. Once you get good at that, then you can try the full bridge.

These are the signs of depression that should never be ignored. It’s important to remember that depression is a brain illness that can be fatal if it’s not treated properly. Every year, depression affects more than 16 million Americans. Mental health is starting to get the recognition that it deserves, but there is still more work to be done. According to statistics, only 35.3% of Americans who are suffering from depression seek help. This is a major concern because it is extremely tough to deal with depression on your own. #MentalHealth #Depression #Depressed Timestamps: 1. Wanting to be alone: 2. Issues with sleeping: 3. Lack of energy: 4. Distractions: 5. Bad habits: Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: Here are the top habits someone with depression will develop and go through. 1. Wanting to be alone: If you are suffering from depression, you probably don’t like leaving your house/room. You want to be alone with your thoughts and in most cases want to feel sorry for yourself without anyone bothering you. Many people who suffer from depression just want to spend their time alone. They may completely give up on communicating with others. They will isolate themselves and give up on a daily routine. They may ignore calls, stop showing up to work, stop going to school, stop paying bills, the list goes on. 2. Issues with sleeping: People who are depressed tend to have trouble sleeping. Not only does this affect their physical well being, but it also significantly affects their mental well being. People who are depressed will pretend that they’re sleeping so no one will bother them, but they end up staying up all night and struggle to fall asleep because their mind is constantly racing with negative thoughts. 3. Lack of energy: Someone who suffers from depression will constantly cancel plans and appointments. They don’t have the energy or the desire to do anything. They just want to be left alone. Those suffering from depression may also sleep on the couch and binge watch television shows. Depression can cause people to become lazy, which translates into procrastination. They will avoid chores and stop taking care of their appearance. Because people with depression lack energy, they may begin to avoid doing regular daily tasks like cooking. There is nothing tastier than a home cooked meal, but because depression is extremely draining, people suffering from it will often buy takeout because they lack the energy and motivation to cook. In addition to this, people who suffer from depression sometimes do not even enjoy the taste of food, says WebMD. This doesn’t mean that the food tastes bad; it means that they’re so stressed about so many issues that they can’t enjoy their food. They may also start eating less or lose their appetite altogether. 4. Distractions: People who are depressed tend to look for distractions to help keep their minds occupied. This can range from listening to music, to cleaning, to even exercising. It’s never a bad thing to be addicted to cleaning. Some people suffering from depression will clean anything and everything, says WebMD. It’s a good distraction and helps them focus on something more positive instead of something negative. Running also helps many people dealing with depression. It gives them a sense of accomplishment, which is one of the main symptoms of depression - that they don’t feel that they have accomplished anything in life. Music can also be a telltale sign of someone’s mood. Someone suffering from depression may enjoy old rock and roll, but the second they develop a depressive episode, they may enjoy listening to something more soft and relatable to their situation. 5. Bad habits: Although some distractions can be good for a depressed person, there are also certain distractions which can lead to unhealthy habits. One example is picking skin until marks are left. Some people get satisfaction when they hurt themselves, which needs to be dealt with immediately before it becomes life-threatening. Some people will also suffer from other disorders that contribute to their depression. For example, some people will also suffer from trichotillomania, which is the disorder where the person will keep pulling their hair. After they pull it out, they will get a sense of relief.

If you do the Military Diet, it will make you lose 10 pounds in 3 days. That's very fast weight loss. There are many different types of diets that are constantly being advertised and recommended. The trouble is finding one that can actually “talk the talk and walk the walk.” According to Dr. Mark Hyman, a nine-time #1 New York Times bestselling author, states that one of the number one reasons diets fail is because the person doesn’t have a plan that fits them. Good health is not something that is just given to people, they have to plan and earn. These are some weight loss tips for you. #MilitaryDiet #DietPlan #LoseWeight Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: Here is the 3-day military diet that can help you lose 10 pounds! (This diet is intended for women, but men are recommended to add an extra 100 calories a day in the form of protein.) Breakfast may be one of the most essential meals of the day simply because it will give you that desired energy first thing in the morning and it can help kickstart your metabolism. For your first meal of this 3 day military diet you can have half a grapefruit, 1 slice of toast (preferably whole wheat or multigrain) with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. If you have a peanut allergy you can substitute it with almond butter, soy butter, sunflower seed butter, hummus, pumpkin butter, or bean dip. And any breakfast isn’t complete without 1 cup of black coffee or caffeinated tea. Please note, you cannot add any sugar, cream, milk or sweeteners into your coffee or tea. These beverages are not essential to the diet as you can substitute it with any amount of water. But green tea and coffee both have thermogenic properties (burns more calories) and black coffee has the ability to suppress your appetite. The next meal of the day (lunch) consists of half a cup of tuna, another slice of toast (but no peanut butter this time) and water, black coffee or tea. If you need to season your foods then go with alternatives such as garlic salt, pepper, honey mustard, and any other low or no calorie seasoning. For dinner, you can have 3 ounces of any type of meat, 1 cup of green beans, half a banana, one small apple and one cup of vanilla ice cream. As you can tell, there isn’t a lot of food in this diet and that’s because lowering calories is what causes weight loss. If you wanna drop the pounds, you got to cut the calories! The next morning, breakfast should include one slice of multigrain or whole wheat toast, one whole egg, and half a banana. This diet is intended to last three days, and then take 4 days off. Rinse and repeat until you achieve the results you desire. The 4 days off do not mean you can binge eat and eat yourself to sickness. The goal should still be to eat around 1,500 calories or less. For lunch, you are entitled to one cup of cottage cheese (or you can replace it with 1 slice of cheddar cheese), 1 hard boiled egg and 5 saltine crackers. Dinner is served! You can have two hot dogs (minus the buns), 1 cup of broccoli, half a cup of carrots, half a banana, and half a cup of vanilla ice cream. This diet dictates vanilla ice cream only (why? I have no clue) but you can substitute ice cream (who would do that?) with one cup of apple juice or one cup of vanilla, strawberry or banana flavored almond milk. The vegetables on this diet should be steamed, baked, boiled or eaten raw. Meat should be grilled or baked, and if you are a vegetarian then you can substitute the protein sources with tofu, lentils, beans and/or portobello mushrooms. The third and final day has arrived! You’re almost there, don’t give up now! For breakfast, you are to have 5 saltine crackers, 1 slice of cheddar cheese and 1 small apple. Saltine crackers can be replaced with rice cakes (one for one) and cheddar cheese can be replaced with ham, eggs, cabbage or soy cheese. Don’t forget your black coffee or caffeinated tea! This lunch is going to be a bit small but on the menu is one slice of whole wheat or multigrain toast and one hard boiled egg. You can switch the egg out for one cup of milk, or two slices of bacon or just one chicken wing. As you can probably tell, from day 1 to day 3 there is a slow and gradual reduction of even more calories (hence the rapid weight loss.) For the last meal of day 3, you can have 1 cup of tuna, half a banana and one cup of vanilla ice cream. And remember, there is no snacking allowed on this diet. You need to eat these foods and these foods only.

These facts about ancient women are not taught by most history teachers. Yes, Ancient Women Wore Bikinis! Women have taken a huge leap in regards to equal rights over the centuries. They have constantly fought to make a difference for women across the world. But what about the ancient times? Those are historic times, especially for women. But teachers are not teaching about the history of ancient women. There are many interesting facts that many people don't know about women in ancient history. #Women #AncientHistory #Facts Timestamps: 1 Ancient Women Had Equal Rights to the Throne: 1:24 2 The Right to Divorce: 1:54 3 Women Could Have High Religious Positions: 3:00 4 Ancient Women Were Highly Educated: 4:13 5 Ancient Women Wore Bikinis: 5:05 6 Ancient Women Were Very Athletic: 5:50 7 Chinese Women Could Be Abandoned By Their Husbands For Talking Excessively: 6:38 8 Ancient Indian Women Could Choose Their Husband: 9:32 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: Here are 8 Curious Facts About Ancient Women in History That Teachers Don’t Mention. 1 Ancient Women Had Equal Rights to the Throne: In Egypt, the government was actually more democratic than most ancient kingdoms. What made it more democratic is that any child, regardless of the gender, had equal rights to inherit the throne. As long as they were the child of the ruler, they had a shot at ruling! Men and women had close to equal rights at that time. 2 The Right to Divorce: In Ancient Greece, women were not considered citizens and their rights were extremely limited. But what they did have was the right to divorce. All the woman needed to do was have another male representative make the deal on her behalf. But what if the man wanted a divorce? All he had to do was throw her out the door. 3 Women Could Have High Religious Positions: In ancient Egyptian times, it was very common for women to hold high religious positions. In this day and age, you only see women as nuns. But in Egypt, they had the opportunity to hold the position “God’s Wife Amun.” The most important duty that God’s Wife Amun had was to assist the high priest. They would also be responsible for attending to God’s statue. 4 Ancient Women Were Highly Educated: The education that women possessed in Ancient Rome was very controversial. Women were generally taught very basic writing and reading skills. But some families did not agree with those teachings. So they would hire private tutors to give their daughters a higher education. The main reason for this is it would make their daughter a better option for husbands because of her intellect. 5 Ancient Women Wore Bikinis: When you think of bikinis, you think of the western civilization. But what if I told you that the bikini dates back to the ancient Roman days. Roman women wore something extremely close to what a bikini looks like today. 6 Ancient Women Were Very Athletic: Today, women are extremely athletic. Just take a look at Serena Williams, she’s absolutely dominant. But ancient women were also extremely athletic. Take Roman women for example; they were heavily involved in lifting weights and competing. They took part in many wrestling and boxing activities. 7 Chinese Women Could Be Abandoned By Their Husbands For Talking Excessively: Ancient China gave women almost no rights. If a woman was married, she was considered her husband’s property. In most cases, the first time a woman would meet her husband was at the wedding. As you could probably imagine, these types of marriages led to a lot of divorces. The reasons for divorce included unfaithfulness, theft, jealousy, and failure to bear a son. But the wife could also be abandoned by her husband if she talked too much. No one likes an excessive talker, but abandoning your wife because of it would sound crazy to society today. This goes to show how the history of ancient women is different than the everyday lives of women today. 8 Ancient Indian Women Could Choose Their Husband: This is an interesting fact because even in this day and age, arranged marriages are still very common in India. But in the ancient times, believe it or not, women were equal to men. Not only did she have the right to choose her own husband, but she could also get married whenever she wanted. Ancient Indian women also were highly educated because they received equal educational opportunities.

This means that you have to burn more calories than you are eating every day in order to lose weight. Because celery is so low in calories, it’s a great snack alternative to add into any diet. 2. Higher levels of hydration. Because celery is 95 percent water, it’s a great way to prevent dehydration when you make it a frequent snack throughout the day. 3. Anti-inflammatory. If you’re at risk for cardiovascular disease and cancer, adding celery to your diet can help you prevent chronic inflammation (which is a condition that’s closely related to those diseases). 4. It can stop heartburn and acid reflux. Celery has been recommended as a solution for these conditions because of its low acidity. 5. It improves cholesterol and blood pressure levels. A study by the University of Chicago found that a chemical found in celery called phthalide reduced cholesterol levels by 7 percent and blood pressure by 18 percent. 6. It improves digestion. People who suffer from stomach problems and constipation know the importance of including fiber in their diet. Celery’s fiber content can help keep your bowel movements healthy, among other things. 7. It can reduce the risk of diseases related to the stomach lining. Studies have found that the antioxidants in celery can reduce gastric ulcers and the risk of gastritis. 8 .It might be an aphrodisiac. Celery contains a high level of the male pheromones, androstenone, and androstenol. Some people believe that eating celery can increase the perceived level of attractiveness of the men who consume it. The more you know! 9. It can keep your eyes healthy. Vitamin A, one of the main vitamins found in celery, is known as a vitamin capable of protecting the cornea. This vitamin is also effective in treating dry eyes. Goodbye, dry eyes! 10. It has a soothing effect. The magnesium in celery is known to have a relaxing effect in the nervous system. In fact, Hippocrates, the father of medicine, once wrote that celery should be used to calm the nerves and for falling asleep. 11. It can regulate the alkaline balance of your body. Because of its low acidity, celery can help you stabilize the PH levels in your body and stop acidic buildup. 12. Mosquito repellant. You’ve probably heard your own grandmother preach about celery as a mosquito repellant. Studies have now shown that celery oil extract rubbed on the skin works effectively as a mosquito repellant. If you’re one of those people who is prone to getting mosquito bites, try eating more celery. You’ll thank us later. 13. UTI treatment. In some places around the world, celery is a common and effective way to treat UTIs. Celery has a diuretic effect, so it helps you expel water without losing too much potassium. 14. It can boost male fertility. In combination with Vitamin E, celery has been found to increase a man’s sperm count. Aldosterone, the male hormone we discussed earlier as having aphrodisiac properties, also creates a healthy environment for sperm to mature.

Which questions should you ask your partner before getting married? It’s not easy to decide if your partner is someone you should spend the rest of your life with. Usually making the decision becomes easier over time as you get to know the person and have a firmer grasp on their values. Though time does make it easier, there are other factors that can make the decision a challenging one. Typically when you fall in love, it becomes difficult for you to recognize the traits of your partner that may cause you to be incompatible. #Marriage #Relationship #Advice Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1) What does your relationship with your family and friends look like? It’s extremely important to understand (and accept) the role that your partner’s family and friends play in his or her life. A big part of how compatible two people are is how they engage with their partner’s family and friends. 2) What is your financial goal in terms of annual income and what are your expenses like? For your annual income, this includes how much you earn together and what your collective goal is, as well as your individual goals and how you anticipate achieving them. In terms of your expenses, this can include the percentage of income you’re each willing to spend on maintaining your home as well as your categories of expenses such as clothing, insurance, travel, and more. 3) Will you have children together? This is absolutely something you need to ask your partner before even considering engagement. This can also often be a dealbreaker for certain people. Many people get married and plan to have children after they get married. If you marry someone who doesn’t want to have kids but you do, it’s usually a sign that the marriage won’t work. 4) How ambitious are you? If you are ambitious, you probably want to be with someone who is as ambitious as you are. Are you comfortable with each other’s level of ambition? How will this affect how much time you spend at work and your commitment to your career/family? 5) Are you each satisfied with the frequency of your intimacy? A couple’s intimate life is a huge part of their relationship. Whether people like to admit it or not, there has to be a certain level of attractiveness and intimacy between two people in order for the relationship to strive and grow. Do your desire levels match and how do you cope if they don’t? 6) Are you happy with each other’s approach to health? If you have a healthy lifestyle, you likely want a partner who has one too. Does one of you have a habit or habits that concerns the other? How important is a healthy lifestyle to you and what does that encompass? These are important questions to ask, especially if you are concerned about how your partner’s lifestyle and health may affect yours. 7) Do you share a religion or spiritual practice and in what way does that play a part in your life together? This is a big question to ask your partner, and is absolutely something you two should discuss before even getting engaged. 8) How do you share responsibilities in terms of kids and household duties? You will have to determine the different types of responsibilities you and your partner will have once you get married. Who is responsible for the housekeeping and how do you divvy up your chores? Will having a child affect your work schedule or reduce your work hours? You will have to take all these things into consideration before getting married.

These cities can be extremely dangerous for tourists, even though they are popular tourist destinations. Travelling the world can really bring a sense of humility to a person. Seeing and interacting with different cultures and different lifestyles can open the eyes of an individual and make them see that there is more to this world than money and material things. But as beautiful as this world is, there are always dangers that surround it. This is why it’s extremely important to do all your research before you travel to a city you have never been to before. You should also always take the proper precautions and avoid traveling alone if you do decide to venture into a more dangerous city. #DangerousPlaces #Travel #City Timestamps: 1. Mexico (Juarez): 1:18 2. Russia (Karabash): 2:03 3. Thailand (Pattaya): 2:37 4. Egypt (Cairo): 3:17 5. Turkey (Ankara): 4:00 6. Philippines (Manila): 4:31 7. Brazil (Sao Paulo): 5:15 8.

United Arab Emirates (Dubai): 8:13 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1. Mexico (Juarez): The resorts are the safest place to stay, but for those who want to explore all New Mexico has to offer, you make yourself vulnerable to kidnappings, robberies, and carjackings. You might think that you will be safe with the police, but with all the organized crime that Mexico is involved with, safety can be at its minimum for tourists. 2. Russia (Karabash): If you do decide to travel to Russia, make sure you avoid traveling to Karabash. That area has been known for its ongoing civil and political tension as well as criminal gang activity. 3. Thailand (Pattaya): As a tourist, you will want to try different types of foods, but because of the pollution and dirt that surrounds the city, eating the wrong thing will give you food poisoning and ruin your trip. It’s best to eat like the locals do. 4. Egypt (Cairo): Tourists face the dangers of kidnapping and terrorist threats throughout the country and are advised not to leave the Cairo metropolitan area. The reason is that the country is constantly facing political instability, so the chances of violent protests are high. 5. Turkey (Ankara): Last year Turkey was the victim of 8 terrorist bombings, and some of those attacks occurred on popular tourist areas. So with the increased threat of terrorism, you might want to avoid visiting this country. 6. Philippines (Manila): Terrorism is high in the Sulu Archipelago and Mindanao areas, and tourists and even Filipino-Americans have been the targets of gangs and kidnappings. But tourists have also been susceptible to pickpocketing and even credit card fraud. 7. Brazil (Sao Paulo): With breathtaking beaches and mesmerizing rainforests, Brazil is definitely a sight to see, but with the constant political battles, an increase in Zika virus cases and one of the world’s largest crime rates, Brazil can be a dangerous place to visit. It is an extremely popular tourist destination, it is also known to be dangerous to visitors who venture out of the more populated areas. 8. Kenya (Nairobi): Since 2013, the crime rate has risen, along with terrorist attacks in Nairobi, the coast and the border of Somalia. 9. Haiti (Port-Au-Prince): In 2010, Haiti was the victim of a devastating earthquake. The country is still trying to rebuild itself and because of that living conditions are not ideal at the moment. Also, the Haitian police are understaffed and corrupt, making it extremely difficult for tourists to remain safe. 10. El Salvador (San Salvador): With political tension constantly on the rise, the violent protest rates have risen as well, specifically in San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador. If you are touring El Salvador, avoid these demonstrations because the law states that any foreigners who participate in political affairs regarding the country could be forced to leave. 11. Venezuela (Caracas): The recent increase in crime that has ravaged Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, this country is now known for the second-highest murder rate in the world. So avoid wearing anything expensive that would draw attention and leave you in a dangerous position. 12. United Arab Emirates (Dubai): If you are a woman traveling to Dubai, there are many restrictions. First of all, women need to ensure that they are completely covered up if you are leaving your hotel. This will stop women from being sexually harassed or even stared at.

Signs that your girlfriend is cheating on you. Have a feeling your girlfriend is cheating on you? You’re not alone! So in this video, you’re going to learn about the 11 warning signs that can help you detect this immoral act. If you notice any of these signs, you might want to have a serious talk with her. #GirlfriendCheating #CheatingGirlfriend #Cheating Timestamps: You’re No Longer A Team: 1:28 She Points Out Every Flaw: 2:04 Constantly Wondering Where You Are: 2:30 Dismissive: 2:56 Late Nights At Work: 3:19 She Stops Opening Up: 3:47 She Has Many New Friends: 4:08 Trouble In the Bedroom: 4:32 Her Phone Gets All the Attention: 5:07 Complete Makeover: 5:42 She’s Hiding Things: 6:26 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: You’re No Longer A Team: If you and your girlfriend were once a team, but now you notice she is going back to her independent ways, this could be a sign that she is planning on replacing or leaving you. This is one of the most common signs that your girlfriend is cheating on you. She Points Out Every Flaw: Everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect in this world, and your girlfriend knows that. But if you notice that she has been pointing out every flaw of yours, she might be trying to give herself some fuel to break up with you. She may also be trying to make it seem that the reason she’s breaking up with you is because of all the flaws she’s been pointing out. Constantly Wondering Where You Are: You might think it is sweet that your girlfriend wants to know what your plans are for the day, but there is a chance that she is only doing this so she can make sure you two don’t run into each other. When someone is cheating, the obvious goal is to never get caught, and the only way to do that is to know where your partner is at all times. Dismissive: If she stops listening to things you are telling her or shrugs off questions when you ask her, you might want to start looking for cheating clues. Late Nights At Work: Being supportive in a relationship is essential, especially if it involves your girlfriend trying to get a promotion at work. However, if someone’s occasional late nights turn into constant late nights every week, this could be a red flag. If she isn’t cheating, she’ll realize that sometimes there are more important things in life than work. She Stops Opening Up: Sometimes people think that cheating is only a physical act. But emotional cheating can be just as tragic if not more. If your girlfriend has stopped opening up to you despite your persistent approach to talking to her, she may have found someone else that she is opening up to. She Has Many New Friends: There is nothing wrong with having a large social circle. Different faces and personalities always make for good friendships. But if you notice that she’s making new friends and you haven’t been invited to meet them at any point, something might not be right. This could be a sign that she is trying to move to a different crowd that has no association with you. Trouble In the Bedroom: A healthy intimate life is an important part of an intimate relationship. It doesn’t mean that you have to constantly show your love and affection through physicality every single day, but if there is a lack of spontaneous activity, there could be a problem. Every relationship has its ups and downs and sometimes the intimate life can get stale. If your girlfriend’s interest in being intimate with you keeps decreasing, she might be getting her fix from someone else. Her Phone Gets All the Attention: If your girlfriend is on her phone more frequently than usual when she’s with you, she might be cheating. She might also be obsessed with her social media, which is also an issue as well. Complete Makeover: if you notice that she has bought new clothes, got a fresh new style to her hair and is wearing perfume every time she leaves the house, it could be a red flag. She might try and play it off and say she’s trying to look good for you, but you know that she looked good even before she did this transformation. She’s Hiding Things: if you find her changing her passwords or getting really jumpy as soon as you walk into the room. This is one of the strongest signs that your girlfriend is cheating on you.

You should always be searching for someone who embodies those qualities. 2. “You need to change him/her”: If you’re trying to change everything about your partner it’s the relationship that isn’t working, not them. 3. “Never Go To Bed Angry”: there’s actually nothing wrong with it; sleeping on it can help you both discuss the argument with a clear head in the morning. 4. “The fun doesn’t last”: The person you choose to share your life with should make your life better. 5. “Opposites attract”: Researchers from the University of California disproved this myth and suggested we do, in fact, find ourselves drawn to people who are similar to ourselves. 6. “Arguing is unhealthy”: Arguing is actually good for your relationship if the two of you are doing it right. 7. “Love is enough”: The idea that when you’ve met the right person it’s all smooth sailing is far from the truth. Like any success in life, it requires effort and hard work. 8. “Give him/her the silent treatment”: Whether you are purposely leaving the person hanging through text or you’re upset and not talking to your partner, the silent treatment is never a good idea. Communication is the key to a successful relationship. 9. “Learn to be irresistible”: Turning up the heat in a relationship is never a bad idea, but trying to become someone you’re not will almost always fail. 10. “Be strong but not too strong”: The healthy way, however, is to inhabit how you feel at any given moment or scenario in a genuine way: whether that’s anger or fear. 11. “Get married because ‘it’s time'”: Follow your own intuition and life path and if that means staying single until you’re 45 or forever. 12. “Relationships should be easy”: Think about it, when did you ever have or accomplish anything great without hard work? 13. “Jealousy means they love you”: Instead it probably means that there is some sort of self esteem issue going on with your partner. 14. “No one will love you like they do”: This is a phrase that is often used to keep an individual in an abusive relationship. Don’t allow this bad advice to keep you stuck in a harmful relationship.” 15. Be the boss: In a healthy relationship, each partner has a field where he or she shines and logically they take the lead in those situations. 16. “Love comes when you least expect it”: this is bad advice because “it takes the ownership off of you to go out there and find it.” 17. “Don’t make a small problem bigger”: bottling up your emotions is just about the worst thing you can do because the little things add up to a big thing and it’ll be much more difficult to solve a problem of that scale. 18. “We are supposed to meet each other’s needs”: According to marriage and family therapist Hal Runkel, this is the most horrible piece of advice imaginable. 19. “Cyber-snooping can save you from the wrong partner”: Snooping destroys trust, which is the foundation of a healthy relationship.”

Signs that your partner isn't your forever partner. Love is beautiful. Having a special bond with another human being where you can tell each other everything, carry each other through difficult times and support each other's growth (and yeah, maybe also kiss sometimes) is one of the few truly good things on this Earth, right up there with dogs, sunrises and cheese-flavored popcorn. #Love #Partners #Couples Timestamps: 1. You have different communication styles: 1:40 2. They’re really down on all their exes: 2:24 3. The people you love don’t like them: 3:09 4. They don’t respect your boundaries: 3:55 5. They can’t get excited with you or for you: 4:33 6. You feel like you have to make excuses for them whenever you’re talking about their behavior: 5:19 7. You aren’t happy: 6:04 8. You’re Googling, “how to know if my relationship isn’t going to work out”: 6:52 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: 1. You have different communication styles: Like they say, communication is key in every single relationship. Without proper communication, even the best of relationships can fail miserably. There are all sorts of different communication styles. Some people prefer to talk all the time, while others are fine with communicating a few times a day. It’s all about the balance - but sometimes, certain relationships can’t find that balance. If one of you is quadruple-texting until the wee hours of the morning and the other likes to live a monastic existence free of earthly attachments like Facebook, it’s unlikely to work out unless both of you are willing to make a serious commitment to bridging that divide halfway. Find the balance, people! 2. They’re really down on all their exes: Look, sometimes people make mistakes, and some of those mistakes are people. But if they describe all of their exes as “crazy” or “psycho” or “nuts,” then chances are 1) they don’t know how to deal with conflict without vilifying the other person and 2) someday, you’ll be their crazy ex too. 3. The people you love don’t like them: I mean, I’m not saying that you gotta let your friends dictate everything about the way you live your life (“If your friends jumped off a cliff” and all that). But if your friends are all, like, “they’re literally the worst person we know and we hate them,” then perhaps consider their perspective on it. Sometimes, you’re the one jumping off the cliff, and your friends are trying to stop you! 4. They don’t respect your boundaries: If your partner does stuff you explicitly asked them not to do, even minor stuff, then they’re waving more red flags than a Soviet parade. The unfortunate truth is that people who don’t respect small boundaries probably aren’t going to respect bigger ones. 5. They can’t get excited with you or for you: Partners should always support each other, and if your partner can’t support you and be happy for you through some of the achievements in your life, you should consider it a red flag. 6. You feel like you have to make excuses for them whenever you’re talking about their behavior: It might sound cliche, but you should never settle for less than you deserve. If someone’s behavior is uncalled for, mean, or just downright wrong, you should never make excuses for them. Cut your losses and leave. 7. You aren’t happy: Your happiness is more important than anything. You may think that you don’t want to make your partner upset or sad by breaking up with him or her, but at the end of the day, if you’re not happy, your relationship isn’t happy either. You have to put yourself first when it comes to your mental well being. 8. You’re Googling, “how to know if my relationship isn’t going to work out”: Do we really need to elaborate on this point? If you’re Googling anything about how to save a relationship or what signs to look for when a relationship is failing, here’s a news flash: your relationship is probably already failing. It’s best to give yourself and your partner the respect you both deserve and end the relationship. Google doesn’t have to tell you that, you should know this yourself!

When you stop smoking, this is what happens to your body. Some of us humans are known to have an addictive personality. There are many products like food or other devices that are designed to hook people in so that they will continue buying and using the product. Some of these can even be habit-inducing such as Chocolate, Alcohol and Cigarettes. Although you probably won’t run into that many problems if you eat a lot of chocolate, the other two vices are quite habit-inducing and over time can become harmful to your health, particularly smoking if it’s a daily habit. If you’re a long time smoker or just starting out, there are a ton of things that change within your body that you might not even have noticed. So, when you decide to quit, your body goes through more changes. #QuitSmoking #StopSmoking #Smoking Timestamps: 1. Blood Pressure: 1:10 2. Oxygen: 1:24 3. Heart Attack: 1:38 4. Senses: 1:55 5.

Did you know that scientific evidence proves that clutter causes anxiety? Clutter is defined as ‘a collection of things lying about in an untidy mass.’ While some people can work great in chaotic and messy environments, others need things to be precise and meticulous in order to function properly. But some research might suggest that the role clutter plays in our mental well-being is a lot more prominent than you might think. A study conducted by UCLA’s Center On Everyday Lives and Families showed that the relationship between clutter, anxiety, and stress is chemical. The study showed that women who live in cluttered homes have higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol than average. Another study by Princeton University found that working in a physically cluttered environment negatively affects your ability to focus and process information, which leads to stress. On top of the scientific literature on the subject, psychologists also agree that clutter can be a great source of anxiety for some people. #Clutter #Anxiety #Decluttering Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: - According to psychologist Sherrie Bourg Carter, who writes for Psychology Today, a messy home and/or work environment can lead to more stress and in some cases, the clutter itself can be ‘a significant source of stress and panic’ Sherrie says that there are 8 main components which contribute to clutter causing so much stress. - The first is that clutter causes an abundance of stimuli from the external world whether it be through sight, sound, touch, smell or taste. Sherrier says that this causes ‘our senses to work overtime on stimuli that aren’t necessary or important.’ - Secondly, clutter takes away our attention because we are no longer focusing on our goals or task at hand and instead we need to take time to focus on the clutter. - Thirdly, Sherrie says that clutter makes it hard for people to sit back and relax. Whether they have to physically clean the mess themselves or whether it be a mental taxation on the mind, clutter makes it hard for people to relax. - And fourth, Sherrie says that clutter sends signals ‘to our brains that our work is never done.’ - Because of the clutter and the mess, clutter causes our brains to think that we are never finished when in reality, you could have been done all your work! - Clutter can also cause anxiety in some people because they don’t know exactly where things are and they are unsure ‘what it’s going to take to get through to the bottom of the pile.’ - Sixth, clutter causes mixed emotions in some people. For those who need an organized and clean home or workspace, seeing clutter can cause feelings of guilt or embarrassment. - Seventh, Sherrie says that open spaces (which are free from clutter) allow people to be both creative and productive. Thus, on the contrary, a lack of open space prevents creativity and productivity which Sherrie says is necessary for thinking, brainstorming, and problem-solving. - And finally, clutter can cause feelings of frustration or even anger since we can get agitated when we can’t find what we need amidst the mess and clutter. - But have no fear, Sherrie doesn’t just offer the symptoms of anxiety with clutter, she also comes forth with suggestions to declutter and also de-stress. - Sherrie said: ‘tackle de-cluttering as a family. If clutter has invaded your entire house, don’t tackle the job alone. Get the whole family involved by starting with a room everyone uses and making each person responsible for a section. - If you’re on your own, start with one area at a time and finish de-cluttering that area before moving on to another. This will give you a sense of accomplishment as you see your successes little by little.’

Nutritionists recommend that you never eat these foods. A lot more people are becoming more health conscious over the past few years, with obesity and health complications as the topic of a growing concern. Nutritionists make it a point to advocate for the healthiest foods, with the exception that a cheat day can happen as long as it’s in moderation. There are, however, some exceptions to this rule in certain foods that you should try and always steer clear of. #Foods #Food #Health Timestamps: 1) Candy: 0:50 2) Processed Meats: 1:09 3) Ketchup: 1:33 4) Unnatural Beverages: 1:54 5) Tilapia: 2:24 6) Chinese Takeaway: 2:59 7) Foods With Hydrogenated Fat: 3:28 8) Margarine: 3:53 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: - Everyone knows that candy is bad for you, but there are certain types of candy that are loaded with chemicals, preservatives, and more sugar than any adult requires in one day. Sugary sweets have little to zero nutritional value and are terribly addictive. - A lot of processed meats including salami, hot dogs, bologna, or prepackaged lunch meats contain chemicals that are used to preserve the meat for unnaturally long periods. They also include flavor additives, coloring and poor quality trans-fats that are bad for your heart and body. Try sticking to fresh meat from the deli or local sources. - A lot of companies that bottle Ketchup will lace it with sugar and heavily process it. The same goes for most store-bought condiments. Fortunately, there are certain brands out there that make all-natural ketchup or any other condiments that have great flavor without all the additives. - Soda drinks or certain bottled juices contain excessive amounts of sugar and are filled with other harmful chemicals that are terribly addictive. Similarly, if you stick with diet drinks, many of these contain aspartame which is a known cancer-causing agent. Some beverages, like small bottles of ‘energy’ contain up to 10x your daily sodium intake. If you need a caffeine boost, stick with a natural coffee, espresso or tea. - A lot of boxed fish and cheap filets come from Tilapia. But what a lot of people don’t realize is that Tilapia farms often keep the fish in tightly confined tanks which tend to breed cancer-causing organic pollutants. Farm-bred fish also have lower levels of nutrition and contain sometimes dangerous levels of Dioxin, another cancer-causing chemical as the result of toxic water, which can take up to a decade to leave your system after consumption. Always stick to fresh market fish if possible. - “Westernized” Chinese food (not necessarily the authentic stuff) contains extraordinarily high levels of sodium fats and carbohydrates. Some Chinese food chains will add Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) to their food which, although recognized as ‘generally safe’, is met with a great deal of controversy. This food is also high in trans and saturated fats which are large contributors to obesity. - Hydrogenated fat is a special kind of fat where hydrogen is pushed through the fat at an extremely high temperature, altering the state of the fat from a liquid to a solid. This process can be harmful when consumed in excess and is almost like eating plastic. Foods high in hydrogenated fats should definitely be avoided. - A common misconception made by a study in the 80s determined that margarine was healthier for you because it helped you avoid consuming excess animal fats. However, this belief has since been debunked by modern science, proving that margarine is actually very high in trans fats which, when consumed long-term, can contribute to heart disease and raise the risk of death by almost 34%! Heavily processed vegetable oils are also high in trans fats. Stick to natural butter, olive oil, and coconut oil instead.

This is what eating a banana and an avocado every day will do to your body. Fruits and vegetables are vital for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. They contain vitamins and minerals that keep our body functioning at a high level. So, if you’re familiar with your fruits and vegetables, than you probably know that bananas and avocados both contain potassium and magnesium. These two fruits are considered powerhouses because of the endless benefits they provide, but it was only recently that scientists have found that bananas and avocados may also prevent a serious health risk from occurring. #Banana #Avocado #Nutrition Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: The heart is the biggest organ in the body. It keeps us alive and pumps blood throughout our whole body. But when it becomes compromised, scary things can happen, like a heart attack. Doctors and scientists are constantly researching ways to prevent heart attacks from occurring, and now they believe that consuming bananas and avocados could potentially be added to that list of ways to prevent one. The research was done at the University of Alabama and can also be found in the journal JCI Insight. What scientists gathered from their research was that if an individual consumes at least one banana or avocado per day, they could increase their chances of protecting their heart from heart disease. The research team also found that bananas and avocados could also lower the risk of arterial blockages, which often requires a major bypass surgery. Their reason behind their findings is that the potassium found in bananas and avocados actually reduced vascular calcification, which is one of the complications that kidney disease and cardiovascular disease encounter. In order to gather their findings, the team gave mice different diets that contained low, normal or high levels of potassium. What they found was that the mice who received the highest level of potassium had substantially more pliable arteries, while those who were given lower amounts harder arteries. This also goes the same for humans. When you include foods in your diet that have high levels of potassium and magnesium, it’s natural that these types of symptoms (soft and hard arteries) are alleviated, mainly the stiffness of the arteries. The reason why stiff arteries are a main concern for doctors is because they can cause the heart to work harder to pump blood through the body. Artery calcification is just one of the many problems a large amount of potassium in your diet can help prevent. Protecting your arteries can help you prevent serious related conditions such as: heart disease, a stroke, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, and hypertension. Now I’ve been using the word calcification a lot, and it is the buildup of calcium in your tissues, organs and blood vessels. While the calcium builds up, it can stop necessary processes that keep your body working properly. According to scientists: “Arteriosclerosis is a defect occurring in the artery (blood vessels carrying oxygenated blood) walls. It refers to hardening of the normally flexible walls due to loss of elasticity of the arterial musculature. When young, the arteries are flexible due to the presence of a protein called elastin.” They also explained that “As age advances, there is loss of this elastin causing thickening of the arterial walls. Atherosclerosis is another condition that refers to the deposition of fat plaques and cholesterol globules within the arteries causing narrowing of the lumen of the arteries.” Scientists also made reference that vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), also contribute to vascular calcification in arteriosclerosis. They also went on to state that “Arterial stiffness has become an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, representing an important health problem for the nation as a whole.” Bananas help balance your sugar level, because they don’t raise your glycemic index. They can help maintain your blood pressure level, and they can also help lower your chances of developing kidney stones because of the high amounts of potassium. Avocados provide loads of nutrients that positively impact almost every part of your body, but mainly your heart and arteries. They contain fiber, which like bananas, will provide you with energy. They also contain vitamin C, vitamin K and folate, which are all essential ingredients to maintaining a healthy body.

Know when to go to the emergency room for flu symptoms. If someone is lucky enough to live a long life, one thing that is guaranteed is they have experienced the flu at least once. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this is one of the worst flu seasons in recent years. With the New Year barely underway, there have already been three times as many cases of influenza compared to how many there were at this point last year. The trouble is learning when to go to the hospital when you develop flu symptoms and the treatment plan. What’s even more tragic is that at least 30 children have perished so far as a result of the flu. To shed more light on this recent problem, the rate of people being hospitalized for the flu in the first week of January was 22.7 per 100,000 people. Compare that to the 2014-2015 flu season where the rate was 29.9 per 100,000 people for the entire year. That year was considered the worst flu seasons in the last 15 years. When most people develop flu symptoms, they just lie in bed, rest and wait it out. But sometimes just waiting it out may not be enough. But how do you know when your flu symptoms require you to take a trip to the emergency room? One of the biggest factor is dehydration. #FluSymptoms #Flue #Influenza Timestamps: 1 Constant Vomiting: 0:57 2 Pain and Pressure in Your Chest and Stomach: 1:26 3 You Become Confused: 1:47 4 High Fever: 2:11 5 Who’s At Risk: 3:04 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Summary: - One of the first signs that you’ve developed the flu is vomiting, says Healthline. It’s your stomach trying rejecting the toxins in your body and forcing you to throw them up. Each time you vomit, your body not only gets rid of toxins, but it also loses nutrients as well. If you are constantly vomiting, you run the risk of becoming severely dehydrated. Go to the emergency room if you’re experiencing this for a few days. - If you’re experiencing chest pain or stomach pain, and it doesn’t subside after a couple of days, you should go to the emergency room, according to Healthline. Also, if you’re experiencing chest pain without exerting yourself, you should speak with your doctor or medical practitioner. - If you become dehydrated because of the vomiting, nutrients will not travel to the brain. Without sufficient nutrients, the brain can become disoriented and affect your cognitive function, says WebMD. If you start to feel confused, this is a red flag that you may undiagnosed medical issues and should visit your nearest medical clinic. - The average body temperature is 98.6 degrees. If you take your temperature or someone else’s temperature and it’s been least 103 degrees the past few checks, you need to contact a doctor immediately, says experts at WebMD. A body temperature that is up to 102 degrees can be helpful because it helps the body fight the infection. If it rises higher than that, it means that the body is losing the fight. - The temperature for children may vary though. According to the Mayo Clinic, if a newborn has a temperature of 100 degrees, you should call your doctor. For children who are 6 months and older, a fever of 102 degrees warrants a call to the doctor’s office. A fever that lasts for more than a few days, and has not gone down once, will require further medical attention. - For those who panic when they get sick, it’s important to know that most healthy adults who get the flu do not need to go to the hospital. The people who are most vulnerable are children who are under the age of 5-years-old, pregnant women, the elderly, and people who have other coexisting medical conditions such as diabetes, says the Mayo Clinic. - Flu symptoms for children are different than adults. Adults have a stronger immune system which allows them to fight off the infection. If your child experiences bluish skin, trouble breathing rashes, and unresponsiveness, it can be a cause for concern. But if these symptoms improve but then return even worse than before, contact a medical health professional immediately.

It’s Aloe Vera! Aloe Vera was first approved by the FDA in 1959 as an over-the-counter medication to heal burns. An article found in the Journal Burns touched base on four studies that were conducted that included 371 patients.

They based their results on healing time, pain score and lesion size. The results showed that the healing time, pain score and wound size were significantly lower than the controlled group. - There is evidence that suggests that Aloe Vera can slow down the aging of the skin.
