How to Make Hips Smaller

Extra weight on the hips makes lots of women suffer. According to the experts, the unsightly deposits in this area can appear because of flabby buttocks.





Butt Exercise

If you do not want to have cellulite on the hips, and if your side silhouette needs to look fit, the experts advise to train middle and small gluteal muscles. To do this, make the movements sideways – your leg can be straight or bent, you can do the exercise while standing or lying, lying on your side or standing on all fours.
Cosmetic Procedures for Hips

You can tidy up the muscles of the hips with the help of myostimulation and lymphatic drainage. Myostimulation with current causes the muscle to contract and repairs damaged muscle fibers, thereby improving the circulation of blood and lymph circulation, activating metabolism, and making the fat cell volume decrease. Lymphatic drainage removes excess water from the muscles.
Fatburn Workout Tips

Slimming the hips requires fat burning workouts 3-5 times a week. Preference should be given to the exercises with a lot of hip movement – walking in waist-deep water, walking uphill, riding on rollers, etc.
Cosmetology

Cosmetic procedures to combat overweight on the hips include corrective massage, hydromassage and mesotherapy.

Orangeade

While most people know that eating the right foods in the proper amounts is essential for good health, a growing body of evidence suggests that certain foods containing vitamin C, fiber, folate and other vitamins or minerals may be especially beneficial to maintaining personal wellbeing.

Hundreds of studies have been conducted on the nutrients found in citrus fruit including orange, and the role these nutrients play in reducing the risk of such diseases as cancer and heart disease. Citrus fruits, which contain essential vitamins and minerals, are an important part of a healthy diet for all men, women and children.

In both fresh and juice form, citrus fruits-including oranges, grapefruit and other varieties such as temple oranges, tangerines and tangelos- have many important nutritional benefits. Some of these benefits are listed below:

An eight-ounce glass of orange juice supplies 100 percent or more of the Daily Value for vitamin C, a valuable antioxidant. Scientists believe that antioxidants may counteract the harmful molecules called ‘free radicals’ which they believe may contribute to the onset of several major diseases. Vitamin C also helps maintain collagen, a substance that helps the body repair body tissue.

Folate, a B vitamin commonly found in orange juice and green leafy vegetables, has been shown to help reduce the risk of certain types of birth defects.

Fresh oranges and grapefruit contain dietary fiber, including soluble fiber. Fiber aids in digestion and elimination, and, when part of a low fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables, may help reduce the risk of some cancers. And low fat diets rich in fruits and vegetables containing soluble fiber may reduce the risk of heart disease. Citrus juices like orange juice are natural sources of potassium, and all citrus fruit are sodium and cholesterol-free. Research shows that regular exercise and a balanced diet high in fruit and vegetables and low in fat can help maintain a healthy life. The following is an overview of some of the latest findings on how the nutrients found in citrus fruit may help reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, heart disease and some birth defects:

By making some simple changes to dietary and lifestyle habits, we may reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.

Recent studies have reported a direct link between the nutrients found in citrus fruit and reducing cancer risk. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute have long maintained that a low-fat diet high in vitamin C-rich foods may help reduce the risk of some type of cancer.

Grapefruit juice is certified as part of a heart-healthy diet. According to recent research, a low-fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables like citrus fruit and their juice may help fight against heart disease. The Food and Drug Administration of USA has concluded that diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease, FDA also has concluded that low fat diets high in fruits and vegetables containing fiber, including soluble fiber, may reduce the at risk of heart disease.

Citrus fruit and their juices are fat-and cholesterol-free and citrus fruit like oranges and grapefruit are high in fiber.

Birth Defects

Adequate Folic acid, the B vitamin in orange juice, may reduce the risk of certain birth defects. Research shows that women of childbearing age who eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables containing folate may decrease the risk of having children with birth defects. According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) women of childbearing age can dramatically reduce the risk of having a child with birth defects by consuming plenty of fruits and vegetables to maintain adequate levels of folate (the most frequently consumed dietary source of folate is orange juice).

Since most neural tube birth defects occur in the first six to eight weeks after conception, it is important that women of childbearing age consume adequate daily levels of folate before, and soon after, they become pregnant.

The old adage, “you are what you eat”, has taken on a whole new meaning. There is a growing body of medical research that supports the health benefits of antioxidants such as vitamin C, as well as folate, dietary fiber (including soluble fiber), and other vitamins and minerals found in citrus fruits.

Happier Couples Gain More Weight

The scientists have reached the conclusion that the more successful the family is, the higher the body mass index of its members will be.





Similar findings were made in the course of monitoring 169 young couples. The period of marriage by the time of the experiment was less than 6 months. When the experiment started, the husbands were on average 25 years old, and their wives were 23. The men were not fans of athletic training, but the girls were in good shape.

It was found that those who were lucky with their spouse gained weight after four years of living together. It could be caused by the fact that their married life resembled an affectionate period of presenting candies and bouquets of flowers. Moreover, when we feel good, we do not want to count the calories.

Interestingly, the people, who were considering divorce, took great care of their appearance – apparently, they hoped that their main meetings were yet to come.


Health Benefits of Dates from Ramadan Perspective

One of the oldest known species of plant, the date is today a food of preference not only for its delicious taste but also for its nutritious properties. It is believed that only one date & a glass of milk are enough to meet all of a person’s daily nutritional requirements.

Muslims, all over the world, break their fast during Ramadan with dates, a tradition that has transformed this into a much desired fruit.

Dates are a great source of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber comes in 2 forms – soluble and insoluble.

Insoluble fiber increases the rate at which food moves through the digestive system. Soluble fiber may help control diabetes by decreasing elevated blood glucose levels. Soluble fiber also had been found to help lower serum cholesterol levels, particularly undesirable LDL cholesterol.

According to researchers dates have the highest concentration of polyphenols among dried fruits. The findings suggest that dried fruits should be a greater part of the diet as they are dense in phenol antioxidants and nutrients, most notably fiber.

Dates are a perfect energy boosting snack. A serving of power-packed dates contains 31 grams of carbohydrates, making them a powerhouse of energy. Carbohydrates include 3 grams of dietary fiber and 29 grams of naturally occurring sugars such as fructose, glucose and sucrose to provide quick energy and are readily used by the body.

Dates are one of the best natural sources of potassium. Potassium is an essential mineral your body needs to maintain muscle contractions including the vital heart muscle. Potassium is needed to maintain a healthy nervous system and to balance the body’s metabolism as well.

Since potassium is not stored in the body, and much is lost in perspiration, it must be continually replenished. As you consume potassium you excrete sodium, helping to keep blood pressure down. As people age, their kidneys become less efficient at eliminating sodium. About a 400 mg increase in potassium intake has been associated with a 40% reduction in the risk of stroke. This roughly amounts to one additional serving daily of Dates.

Dates also contain a variety of B-complex vitamins – thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6 and pantothenic acid. These vitamins have a variety of functions that help maintain a healthy body – to metabolize carbohydrates and maintain blood glucose levels, fatty acids for energy, and they help make hemoglobin, the red and white blood cells.

Dates also contain Magnesium which is essential for healthy bone development and for energy metabolism and Iron which is essential to red blood cell production. Red blood cells carry all the nutrients to cells throughout the body.

In addition, Dates are fat and cholesterol free!

White Teeth Make You Look 5 Years Younger

White teeth help you look five years younger, and even get a good job. This is the conclusion reached by the researchers from the UK.

The study, commissioned by the Oral B company, showed that white teeth can be a key factor of success for the candidates at a job interview. If the applicant’s white teeth look perfect, he seems to be more successful, attractive and capable of working for the employer. Moreover, white teeth visually rejuvenate us for at least five years.

The British dentists say that 75% of the population are willing to undergo teeth whitening, and many of them want to look like their role models and different stars, like Victoria Beckham. The dentists’ patients want to enhance the whiteness of their teeth for two to three shades on average. Well, yellow teeth are the main reason for discomfort in the British people, if it concerns the health of the mouth. Caries and periodontal disease are much less frustrating for people. This is despite the known fact that the color of ivory is the sign of dental health.

The researchers studied the attitude of 2000 men and women to the color of their teeth and interviewed professional dentists. About one third of men believe that a white smile was the proof of the financial well-being and social status. In addition, it is also a sign that the person has received private education or graduated from university.

The study participants believe that white teeth increase the attractiveness of the person by 20%. But when it comes to romantic dates, the unpleasant breath and yellow teeth are the most important features of the partner’s being repulsive. According to the degree of their unpleasantness, the yellow teeth surpass even bad hair and acne. By the way, men are significantly more afraid of having bad teeth than of becoming bald.




Coffee Suppresses Appetite & Promotes Weight Loss

The fact that coffee has beneficial effects on human health has been known for a long time. Recently, the scientists have expanded the list of useful properties of the drink. It was found that it promotes weight loss.




The staff of the University of Queensland tried to find out whether coffee helped to lose weight by suppressing appetite. The results of clinical trials have confirmed that the fans of coffee really have a slender figure.

In the course of work, the scientists offered the volunteers normal or decaffeinated coffee, or caffeine pills during breakfast and observed their appetite before lunch. They recorded a decrease in hunger and weight loss in those who consumed usual coffee. According to Matt Schubert, such an effect was not observed in the participants, who drank decaffeinated coffee or took caffeine pills.

The drink helps to control weight. By reducing the appetite it reduces the amount of food consumed. The study is going on.

Earlier, Japanese scientists came to the conclusion that daily consumption of coffee could reduce the risk of stroke by one fifth. The employees of the American Cancer Society in Atlanta said that daily consumption of four cups of coffee reduced the risk of developing cancer of the mouth (even in smokers and alcohol addicts). But the scientists from the Norwegian National Institute of Occupational Health and the hospital staff at the University of Oslo found that one cup of coffee drunk before work reduced physical pain.

Water your Brain, it's a Smart move

You can increase brain power by drinking eight, 8-ounce glasses of water a day, rubbing the skin between your toes, chewing peppermint gum and coming up with wrong answers. Research says so.

Water purifies the blood going to your brain, which has more fluid than any other organ. The foot massage nearly triples blood flow to the brain. The scent of peppermint increase positives brain waves for learning. And testing different ideas some of them incorrect, builds the brain far more than knowing the right answers. While brain research is still in its infancy, it clearly shows that the first three years of life are critical, says early childhood educator Fred Barnes, as between the fourth and seventh months of pregnancy, for example, 15 million brain cells develop every minute.

Tremendous damage can be caused by alcohol, tobacco, poor nutrition, prescription, illegal drugs and radiation.

Once the child is born, parents and caregivers can best help a child’s developing brain by talking a lot, reading aloud, playing classical music daily and turning off the television. Hearing music and language changes the structure of a young child’s brain, improving the ability to learn math, reading and other skills later.

Similarly, if parts of the brain aren’t used, they die. When researchers covered a baby chick’s or kitten’s eye, when brain connections should form for vision, the chick remained blind in that eye even after it was uncovered.

Barnes also shared with the group these points based on brain research:

Foreign languages should be learned young, long before middle school or high school classes

Keep stringing beads, clay and other manipulative available. Small muscle exercise stimulates brain growth.

Adults should understand that children have different learning styles. According to research seven multiple intelligences, including spatial, linguistic and musical.

Kids need enough sleep to let their brain review what they’ve learned. Most adolescents, in particular, are sleep-deprived; they aren’t biologically programmed to awake early.

Emotion is closely tied to learning. Adults should help toddlers and preschooers learn to deal with their emotions and get along with others.

Barnes, who founded and continues to spend five hours a day at an on campus child care center, says even two-year-oldies can start learning to work out conflicts peacefully with other children

Kids, like adults, should be encouraged to drink lots of water no juices or carbonated drinks. By the time you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated, which is hazardous to the brain.

“A glass of water, in five minutes, will bring down the anxiety level of child,” says Barnes. So sip your way to intelligence, with water, the wonder drug.

How Can We Purify Polluted Water?

How Can We Purify Polluted Water?

Purification of water is of great importance. Urban Water supply is purified in three stages: storage, filtration and chlorination. Despite this process, water gets polluted when it is piped to users due to various factors.

Safe and Wholesome Water (Water)

Two-thirds of our body weight is water. It is possible to live without food for three weeks but impossible to live without water for more than three days. Unfortunately, even after being treated water gets polluted. Whenever there is contamination of the drinking water sources, especially when there is water logging after rains, there is an outbreak of infection.

What is potable water and what are its sources?

Safe and wholesome water is defined as water, which is:  Free from disease carrying micro organisms, free from dangerous chemical substances. The three main sources of water are: Rain, surface water - reservoir, stream, and tank etc, ground water - shallow wells, deep wells, springs, etc. In urban areas and big towns, the corporation or municipality undertakes the treatment of water from surface water sources and supplies it to users.

What are the pollutants common in water?

Naturally found water is not pure. It contains natural impurities of various kinds - both dissolved and suspended impurities. These are the impurities derived from atmosphere, catchment area and soil. They can be dissolved substances - hydrogen sulphide, oxygen, ammonia, sodium or suspended impurities such as clay, silt, sand, mud and microscopic plants and animals.

The more hazardous water pollution is caused by human activity like urbanization and industrialization. Sources of pollution resulting from these are:  Industrial and trade waste which contain toxic agents ranging from metallic salts to complex synthetic organic chemicals, sewage which contains decomposable organic matter and disease carrying microbes, Agricultural pollutants like fertilizers and pesticides such as DDT, Aldrin, dioxin, nuclear wastes.

What are the criteria for water quality?

Drinking water should be: Clear, colorless, odorless and tasteless, free of chemical substances such as chlorides, hardness, free and saline ammonia, albuminoidal ammonia, nitrites and nitrates, oxygen, and dissolved oxygen. Toxic substances such as arsenic, cadmium, cyanide, lead, mercury, and selenium etc. indicate chemical contamination of water, free of bacteria such as E. coli, and faucal streptococcus, clostridium perfringens, which indicate faucal pollution.

How can we purify polluted water?

Purification of water is of great importance. Urban Water supply is purified in three stages: storage, filtration and chlorination. Despite this process, water gets polluted when it is piped to users due to various factors. Therefore, further purification at home becomes necessary.

BOILING AND FILTERING

This is an easy, time tested and a satisfactory method of purification in households. Water must be brought to a rolling boil for five to ten minutes. It kills bacteria, spores, ova, cysts and sterilizes water. It also removes temporary hardness by driving off carbon di-oxide and precipitating calcium carbonate. There are some disadvantages in the process. The taste is altered. The precipitates have to be filtered out. It gives no residual protection, meaning, after boiling, if the water is transferred to another container, which is infected, the effects of boiling will be lost.

CHEMICAL DISINFECTION

This is useful when purifying stored water as in sumps, overhead tanks or well water.

BLEACHING POWDER

This is chlorinated lime. It is a white powder with a pungent smell. 2.3 grams of bleaching powder is required to disinfect one cubic meter of water. Bleaching powder is an unstable compound. When it is exposed to air, light or moisture, it quickly loses its chlorine content and becomes ineffective. Highly polluted and turbid water cannot be purified by this method.

CHLORINE SOLUTION

If 4 kg of bleaching powder with 25% available chlorine is mixed with 20 liters of water it will give a 5% chlorine solution.

Like bleaching powder this is also unstable and has to be stored in a cool, dark place.

CHLORINE TABLETS

These are available in the market under various trade names, such as halazone tablets. These are expensive but effective for small quantities of water. Smarter chlorine tablets have been introduced recently. These are about fifteen to twenty times as powerful as the halogen tablets. One pill of 0.5gms is enough to disinfect 20 liters of water. Potassium Permanganate and Iodine are disinfecting agent’s too but high costs and side effects are their drawbacks.

FILTERS

Porcelain Candle Filters

Water can be filtered with ceramic filters. The main part of a filter is, a candle made from porcelain or infusorial earth. The surface is coated with silver catalyst so that the bacteria coming into contact with it is killed. This method removes the bacteria found commonly in drinking water but is not effective with virus that can slip through the filter.

The candle has to be washed thoroughly once a week as it gets clogged with coagulated bacteria and other impurities.

U-V Filters

These are gaining wide acceptance in urban households. A U-V filter apparatus usually consists of a preliminary filter, which strains out physical impurities. An activated carbon cartridge rids the water of organic impurities like colour, odour, free chlorine etc. An ultraviolet beam eliminates bacteria and viruses.  As this is done on the line, as the water runs out of the tap, there is less risk of recontamination.  The activated carbon should be changed at intervals depending on the usage and quality of water supply.

5 Breakup Survival Tips

The author of the book Breakup Bible – Rachel Sussman – gives advice to the girls who are trying to survive a breakup.




1. Delete Ex-Boyfriend’s Phone Number

Erase his phone number from your mobile, Rachel Sussman says. But only if you’re sure that your relationship is really coming to an end. Otherwise you’ll take to a favorite game of all expansive girls that are doing it once a week. However, if you remember his number by heart, this trick will not work. And then you’ll need help.
2. Ask Your BFF for Help

Make a deal with a close friend that whenever you have an urge to dial the cherished number, you’re going to call her, and she will try to dissuade you from a stupid act. If it does not help, just imagine how he grimaces, seeing your name on the display, and rejects the call with the words: “I’m fed up with her!” Such visualization is enough for the first couple of weeks. And this is the most critical period.
3. Don’t Drink Alcohol

No matter how great the temptation is to hang out in the bars with friends and take comfort in alcohol, make it a taboo for some time. Beer tears are a terribly vile thing. First, you feel sorry for yourself. And then there is an overwhelming desire to call him and tell everything that is on your heart. And then you get very ashamed of the fact that you made a fool of yourself again.
4. Unfriend Your Ex-Boyfriend

Delete him from the list of your friends on social networks. Even if you decide on keeping “warm and friendly relations.” However, in this case it is better to explain the reason: “I’m not doing this because I want to hurt you. Simply it hurts me every day to see your photos and recall how great it was together. ”
5. Take Your Time

Any traumatic event goes through several stages: shock, denial, anger, depression and acceptance. Until you go through all of these five steps, do not count on good relations with yourself and the world around you.

Sugar Scrub

Pamper your body with a soft and sweet sugar scrub. This great home remedy will make your skin velvety soft and clean.





Why Choosing Sugar Scrub?

Tiny sugar granules, large and hard at the beginning, under the influence of water gradually become smooth and soft, gently cleansing the skin. If your skin is damaged, and it has cracks, sugar scrub will not cause discomfort or tingling, as salt scrub does.

In addition, sugar can be mixed with various ingredients, and you will always have guaranteed cleansing and soft, smooth skin.
Sugar & Olive Oil Scrub

Mix 4 tablespoons of sugar and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. The mixture is applied to the wet body in a circular motion. After the procedure, you don’t need to use shower gel or soap, just blot your skin with a towel and allow it to air dry. Olive oil, which is part of a scrub, contains vitamins, antioxidants and other active ingredients that soften the skin and give it a velvety texture.
Cocoa & Sugar Scrub

Take a little bit of cocoa powder and add it to the sugar, mixed with essential oils. Your skin will be grateful for such a sweet procedure.

Top 10 Professional Hair Care Tips

Top 10 Professional Hair Care Tips


Hair care is very vital for keeping the hair healthy and shiny. Hair of average quality can be improved by care and attractive hair can become dull if they are not taken care properly. Hair care refers to taking all steps that are required for maintaining the beauty of the hair. It is best to seek professional care tips to know about the best ways to care. We commit different care mistakes in our daily lives that have long term consequences for our hair so it is better to try to avoid such mistakes.

Different types of hair require different ways of treatment in order to look better. Hair stylists can provide professional hair care tips to people after taking into consideration the type of the person. Professional care tips can be helpful for people to minimize the damage caused and loss of hair.

Professional Hair Care Tips:

   1. If you want to recreate the salon look at home, pay attention to the products your stylist uses, and how she uses them. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Chances are you can purchase the exact styling products your stylist uses, either at the salon, or at a beauty supply store like Sally.
   2. Some hair care products can reduce the appearance of split ends, but the only way to eliminate them is by regular trimmings. These products are fine in between visits to the salon, but don’t expect miracles.
   3. We all want what we cannot have. While your stylist may be able to add curl and body to fine straight hair, doing this at home can be problematic. Choose hair styles and cuts that compliment the natural texture of your hair for styling ease at home.
   4. It really does not matter if the rest of your hair is sleek and glossy if those face framing strands are out of control. Use a small amount of smoothing hair product and a fine-tooth comb to coax your hairline into submission. Finish your style with a light to medium hold, anti-humidity hair spray.
   5. As a general rule, straight and sleek styles benefit from blow drying before styling. For wavy, or loosely curled styles, I recommend blow drying hair until it is only slightly damp before using hot rollers to achieve the desired style. For extremely curly styles, gently scrunching your curls after applying your hair product of choice is the best option to combat the frizzes.
   6. When you visit your stylist, don’t fib about your natural color or the frequency of coloring. We can tell when you do. By being honest, you are giving us the information that we need to ensure that you get exactly the hair color result that you want.
   7. If you like to extend the life of your blow out, going a few days in between shampoos is fine. Be aware that human hair does hold on to odors, so if you smoke or live with people who do, daily washing may be required. The growing selection of powder shampoos is making it easy to hold on to a great style, manage oily hair, and give your hair a shampoo-fresh scent.
   8. All too often people make drastic changes to their hair before they are ready. Growing out shorter styles is done gradually, and the same rule should apply for going from long locks to short styles. This will give you time to adjust in stages, instead of one dramatic cut that you may not be ready to deal with.
   9. Going one or two shades lighter or darker can usually be done safely at home. When you desire a more dramatic color change, or complicated highlights, it is best to trust your hair to the hands of a trained professional.
  10. Temporary hair colors can give you a much needed update without the commitment, or give you an idea as to how a new color will look on you. Wearing your hair up, or simply changing your part are also simple (and temporary) ways to switch up your look.

How To Stop Excessive Blinking in Children

How To Stop Excessive Blinking in Children

Do your eyes go wild twitching hysterically every now and then, or do you find yourself blinking really hard when in stress? Blinking is a voluntary eye action that not only protects the eye from external irritants but also keeps the eye on tears almost every time, though literally. A normal human being bats his eye for almost 15,000 times in a day, which is the average count for normal eye blinks.

If you notice your child blinking more often than you feel is normal, don’t bring attention to it at first, because this may cause her to blink even more excessively. While a doctor should evaluate excessive blinking, especially if it is accompanied by burning, itching, vision problems or other bothersome symptoms, most of the time the cause is benign and resolves on its own.

What Causes Excessive Blinking In Children:

Some of the common causes of excessive blinking in children are

    * Infection in eyes such as viral conjunctivitis.
    * Dry eye.
    * Refractory error in children.
    * Eye allergies.
    * Foreign particle in the eye.
    * Swelling of eyelid.
    * Tourettes syndrome.
    * Anxiety in children can also lead to excessive blinking.

How to Stop Excessive Blinking in Children:

    * Observe your child and take notes on when he blinks excessively, along with any other symptoms that you can see. Write down whether it seems to happen at a certain time of day, as well as whether he also rubs his eyes, squints or makes other uncontrollable movements. The Optometrist’s Network website also suggests observing your child while he reads to see if he holds the book closer or farther away than expected.
    * Ask your child if her eyes itch, hurt or sting. If she complains of headaches or vision disturbances, add these to your list of symptoms. If she is school-aged, ask her whether she can see the blackboard well enough.
    * Take your child to the eye doctor for an examination. According to Pediatric Ophthalmology, a complete vision exam can rule out or confirm disorders such as Tourettes syndrome, a seizure disorder, vision problems or other medical issues that may cause excessive blinking. Less serious issues that may cause blinking include eyelid inflammation or allergies. Treat any vision or health problems with the help of your child’s physician.
    * Avoid talking about your child’s excessive blinking if no medical issues are found. If your child simply is experiencing a tic, the less attention given to the problem will help it resolve with a minimum of stress for your child, says Pediatric Ophthalmology. Most tics go away on their own within a year.
    * Try to relax your child by storytelling, playing with him if the reason behind excessive blinking is anxiety.
    * Give him food containing zinc. Green vegetables, carrots and fruits will provide necessary natural zinc supplement.
    * Carrot and beetroot juice mixed with Indian gooseberry juice is good for eye sight. It contains Vitamin A, C etc.
    * Consult an ophthalmologist if the child’s eye is red, itchy and swollen, and if the blinking is continuous for a long duration.
