Lifestyles That Can Make You Fat


Do you know you can maintain a healthy weight throughout your life time?  Do you also know you can accomplish this without visiting a single Doctor?  Avoiding the following will help tremendously:

Sitting Too Long

Are you an office worker or a Writer who sits for too long in front of the computer? Are you addicted to movies and programs and sits for a very long time watching your television?  Are you the Boss or Madam of the house or the shop and surround yourself with errand boys and girls and then sits in a place dishing out instructions? 

Healthy Beverage for 40+ Moms and Dads


I have this amazing revelation to give to you if you are 40 years and above concerning beverage drinks.  I say 40 because at this age I presume you are already a mum or a dad and would have the understanding of what health problem is. Okay!

Before you hit age 40, you hardly understand or believe that one could have health issues and probably do not mind what you eat.  For example, when you talk to the younger ones on the dangers of eating sweet things particularly sugary drinks, they wave you aside.

I have however discovered that health problems do set in from this period of one’s life time and what you eat determines how healthy you will be.  If you eat and drink healthy food and drinks, you will be healthy but if you decide to eat junks, unhealthy foods and wash them down with sugary and cholesterol filled drinks, you will become sick and eventually die early.  

How to Recover Fast after a Stillbirth


Stillbirths do occur at different stages of pregnancy, some babies die in the stomach after about 28 weeks, while others may occur during labor and child birth. When it occurs earlier it will be regarded as a miscarriage.

Losing your baby no matter how old can be very overwhelming, mothers who have had miscarriages or lose their pregnancies can tell you better. 

A good friend of mine has just lost her baby immediately after birth.  When I visited her home, she did not come out to see me, she was so devastated that she has refused to see anyone or hear any word of advice. 

Most of us have had this type of experience in the past and to tell you the fact, it is definitely not a good experience, especially if you are a first timer.  I lost my first baby boy immediately after birth and it was like the end of the world then.  I remembered how I will cry for a whole day without eating until I was able to put myself together.

Kidney Failure Disease - How to Take Care of Yourself

The disease of Kidney failure is getting too scary by the day.  Few days ago we all received the news
of the demise of a young Nigerian Actor. His death is a typical example of millions of people that are dying daily as a result of this deadly kidney disease.  Since this disease is not a respecter of anybody, we owe ourselves the duty of taking care of our health to prevent or reduce its effect.

Here Are The Top 6 Preventive Measures We Can Take to Help Ourselves.

Don’t Keep Urine in Your Bladder.

Keeping urine in your bladder for too long or excreta in your bowl is a very bad idea. A full bladder can cause bladder damage. The urine that stays in the bladder multiplies bacteria quickly. Once the urine re-fluxes back to the urethra and kidneys, the toxic substances can result in kidney infections, then urinary tract infections, and then nephritis, and even uremia. When nature calls – do it as soon as possible.

Don’t Eat Too Much Salt (Sodium).

You should eat no more than 5.8 grams of salt daily.  Most of the foods we consume already have salt in them, so if you already have diabetes and or High Blood Pressure, do not add more salt to your food. Eating too much salt will raise your blood pressure which will affect your kidney.  Not eating salt at all is not the best, so do it in moderation to avoid the dangers of both ways.

Lemon and Its Many Uses

Lemon is in the class of Citrus and one of the most multipurpose fruits on earth.  It is found everywhere and very affordable. This common fruit can be useful in the following ways:

As Disinfectant:  Lemon juice is very acidic and can be used as a natural disinfectant.  Its scent is good for humans but very uncomfortable to pests.



 













Preservative:  Pour some quantities of Lemon juice on your food for preservation.  Use it to replace chemically based ingredients in preserving your food.  You can also use it to cleanse your meat or fish.

Kitchen & Home Cleaning:  Lemon juice can be used to clean your kitchen utensil.  It is perfect for eliminating odor and bacteria.  Cut a lemon in 2 halves.  Use each half to scrub your cutting buds and other wooden products.  Leave it on for at least 10 minutes and rinse with clean water.  The result will be amazing.





Apart from the household uses of this wonderful fruit, lemon is also used for health issues:

Elimination of Body Fats:
  Drinking of lemon juice daily will help eliminate the fats in the body especially belly fats.  Cut 2 or 3 lemons into 2 halves and squeeze out the water into a glass and add a little water.  Drink it in the morning and night to achieve good results.  You can also use this method to reduce stomach and menstrual pains.

Cure for Pimples and Acne: 
  Rub lemon juice on the affected parts to clear the pimples and other blemishes especially on your face.

How to Look Younger Than Your Age

No one wants to be referred to as old man or woman.  Everyone wants to look 10 years younger than his or her actual age.  Some will even go a step further to make declarations to reduce their age.  For you to achieve looking young, a few small lifestyle changes can set you in motion to actually achieve that youthful looks you feverishly wanted.



Avoid Skin Bleaching:  Many people especially women think that bleaching the skin will make them look younger.  Using harsh and dangerous chemicals will not only damage your skin, it will actually make you look much older than you should be.  As you age, use mild soap and moisturizing cream.  This will help keep your skin soft and young.

Eat More Natural Foods:  Twenty five percent of people admit that they do not eat natural foods; they depend heavily on processed ones.  This is a major mistake because when you miss these natural foods, you are actually missing out all the anti ageing nutrients that are contained in Natural foods.

Avoid Sugar Content Foods:  Sugar is a skin wrecker and the chief cause of all terminal diseases. Look for alternatives like honey, agave, brown rice syrup, fruit juice concentrate, evaporated can juice.  Some things that sound really innocent are actually sugar, and your body processes all sugar the same way.

Don’t Skip meals:  Apart from times when you perform the spiritual exercise of Fasting, make sure you have your breakfast even if you are not hungry in the morning.  It is just something to get your metabolism revved up.  Many people make the mistake of skipping breakfast because they think they are saving calories, but they just end up eating more calories later to compensate.







Snack Tactically:  If snacking is a must to you, snack on something that has fiber and protein because these are things that actually help curb your appetite.

Avoid Liquid Calories:  Your body does not record liquid calories, so it’s basically like you have not eaten.  For example, a glass of orange juice has about twice as many calories as an orange but no fiber, and that is the part that fills you up.

I hope these can help but if you know more ways, please add it in the comment box.You will be appreciated.
