5 Foods A Woman Should NEVER Eat

In a world where the list is king, doesn’t it make sense to know what not to eat in addition to what you should eat?

That’s how I look at it and you know how much I love me a good list!

The foods you should never eat are deserving of their own list too, doncha think? But I’ve done one better on this particular list. While I’ve named the culprit in disturbing your peace (health and weight), I’ve also named the hero in restoring your well-being (begin applause now).

Let’s get right to business then and get rolling with this list. If you stick with me, you’ll know how to dodge these negative nutritional bullets and make better choices at the grocery store and when dining out.

Culprit #1: Deep-Fried Anything
Sorry, but if you order deep fried, make deep fried or even use the words deep fried, you might as well look for a cardiologist at the same time. Deep frying is positively the worst possible choice for having anything prepared. And don’t let the words, “lightly fried” fool you either, as in tempura! It’s all wickedness!

Hero #1: Sauteed for Flavor
This cooking technique uses minimal oil (preferably olive oil) and gives your food the flavor and complexity you’re looking for. I sauté my green beans after steaming them in olive oil (not virgin, that’s too fine an oil for heat), a lot of fresh garlic, a little sea salt and a liberal grinding of fresh pepper. Unbelievable taste with very little fat and no bad fat, either.


Culprit #2: White Bread
Thud. Did you hear that? That’s the sound of white bread landing in your gullet. It’s squishy, gooey and gluey and it’s adhering to the sides of your intestines, do you feel it? Blech. Considering the negative nutrition associated with denatured flour, why would anyone make that choice in this enlightened century? Lose the white bread already!

Hero #2: Sprouted Wheat Bread
Okay, check this out. When you sprout grain, then make it into bread, not only is a lot easier on your digestion, it’s packed full of nutrients traditional bread doesn’t have! Consider this nugget: your body looks at sprouted grain as veggies, not starch! That’s good news if your thighs sprout inches just by eating a sandwich with two pieces of bread!

Culprit #3: Shortening and/or Margarine
Solidified fats get that way through a process called hydrogenation, which in turn, makes a multitude of sins called trans fats. Yes, we’ve all heard how bad trans fats are, right? Well, not only does margarine lower your HDL (good cholesterol) it also raises the bad (LDL). Ixnay all the way on margarine (and it’s evil twin shortening…which is essentially unflavored margarine).

Hero #3: Butter
Hallelujah and pass the butter already! Butter, though a definite saturated fat, will raise your good cholesterol unlike margarine. Just use it very moderately. Try Better Butter: half unsalted butter and half extra virgin olive oil whipped together and kept in the fridge in a covered dish. Just like soft spread margarine only 300 times better!

Culprit #4: White Rice
Oh. My. Gosh. Are you really still eating white rice? This depiction of a grain is full of nothingness. The fiber is missing, the B vitamins are virtually unheard of and the glycemic load will take you one step closer to Type 2 Diabetes, if that’s your go-to carb! Dismiss this!

Hero #4: Brown Rice
With three times the amount of fiber, more B vitamins as well as other nutrients, the carb load on brown rice is much easier on your body and a smaller amount will satiate, too. What’s not to love about that, especially if you’re trying to lose a few pounds?

Culprit #5: White Sugar
To quote Gomer Pyle, “Surprise, surprise, surprise.” I bet you knew sugar would be on the list, didn’t you? How can it not. Did you know that consuming white sugar will actually stun your white blood cells from doing their important health preserving work? Yes, sugar impacts your immune system! It doesn’t just eat your teeth and add to your belly fat, it disrupts immune function. Repent from your sugar eating ways and return to the healthy fold!

Hero #5: Dark Chocolate and Fruit
You thought I was going to list alternative or artificial sweeteners, didn’t you? Studies have shown that people who consume diet drinks tend to gain weight doing so. Why is this? The hypothesis is you can’t fool your body like you think — if it tastes sweet, your body may still react to it and gain weight.

Stinks, doesn’t it? But we need to LOSE our sweet teeth, people! That’s the problem, not finding the golden panacea that tastes just like sugar. If you want something sweet, have some fruit and an ounce of very dark chocolate (FULL of phytonutrients, yay!) Once you get over your addiction to sugar, this decadent treat (a bowl of fresh raspberries with melted dark chocolate drizzled over the top) will knock you flat. You’ll happily say NO to donuts!

That’s it for now, y’all! Stay tuned… there is always more to come! http://www.diet.com/

Tea Better Than Water

New research in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition indicates that drinking tea is as good for your health -- or better -- than just drinking water.

A team of researchers from King's College London examined previously-published studies in search of the health benefits of tea consumption, and found that it contains powerful antioxidants called polyphenols, which prevent cellular damage. The researchers concluded that drinking three to four cups of tea per day reduces the risk of heart attack, protects against cancer, strengthens bones and protects against tooth plaque and decay.

"Drinking tea is actually better for you than drinking water," says Dr. Carrie Ruxton, a public health nutritionist at King's College London and the study's lead author. "Water is essentially replacing fluid. Tea replaces fluids and contains antioxidants, so it's got two things going for it."

Though many consumers believe that tea -- which often contains caffeine -- is dehydrating, Ruxton says such an idea is an urban myth. "Studies on caffeine have found very high doses dehydrate and everyone assumes that caffeine-containing beverages dehydrate," she says. "But even if you had a really, really strong cup of tea or coffee, which is quite hard to make, you would still have a net gain of fluid."

Ruxton's team found that average tea consumption was less than three cups per day in the UK, and that many younger people were replacing tea with sugary soft drinks. The study's findings were backed by the British Nutrition Foundation and the Tea Council, which funded the research.

"These findings help confirm the extraordinary health benefits of drinking tea, a drink that is essentially made of herbs soaked in water," said Mike Adams, a consumer health advocate and holistic nutritionist. "What consumers need to keep in mind, however, is that adding cream or sweeteners to the tea can nullify any potential health benefits and actually make the drink harmful to health. If you're going to use sweeteners," he added, "always use either stevia or agave nectar."

Audrey Hepburn's Beauty Tips

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen within her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole.
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman with passing years only grow.

Exercise 30 mins every day and you'll lose weight. Yea, I think everyone knows that. Lol. No, hang on. I've got something to share.

This diet really works for me. I lost 2kg in a week.

However there are some house rules girlies.

#1- Follow this diet strictly for 3 days in a row
#2- Follow your usual diet for the remaining four days of the week

The 3 Day Diet

First Day of "3 Day Diet"

Dinner

2 beef franks or chicken
1/2 cup carrots
1 banana
1 cup broccoli or cabbage
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
Black coffee or tea (Sweet & Low or Equal) or water


I just love coffee. That's why I love this diet so much!

Expected Benefits derive from 3daysdiet plan:
1. Increased energy
2. Weight loss
3. Healthy skin
4. Enhanced sexual drive
5. Reduced allergies

These expected benefits are from reviews of this 3 Day diet not from personal experience mind you. What's important, I managed to lose 2kg in a week.

Substitutions

I use the following substitutions for the 3 day diet:

* Orange instead of Grapefruit
* Tuna instead of Cottage cheese (and vice versa)
* Frozen yogurt instead of Ice Cream
* Cauliflower instead of Broccoli (and vice versa)
* Green beans instead of Broccoli or Cauliflower
* Papaya instead of Carrots

Remember the rules. It's not healthy to eat like this EVERY day.

That's all. Good luck!

How to Whiten Teeth the Natural Way!

There are many natural teeth whitening home remedies out there. Many of them can help you acheive a whiter smile. However, many of these natural remedies are also abrasive or acidic, and without proper usage, will damage your teeth and cause cavities.


Baking Soda

Baking soda is well known for its ability as a cleaning agent to get rid of stains in the home, but it can also work equally great on your teeth as well.

Stains on your teeth occur in the filmy layer that develops from the food and beverages that you intake. The best way to get rid of this layer and remove surface stains is to brush them away. Baking soda is a gentle abrasive that can work away the filmy layer and eliminate stains.

If you want to use baking soda to remove stains, use the following method:

- Get your toothbrush wet.
- Dip it into a small amount of baking soda.
- Use a circular motion to scrub the front surfaces of your teeth for at least two minutes.
- Rinse with clean water.

Some people also like to blend baking soda with a few drops of white vinegar and brush with the foaming mixture, followed by whitening toothpaste. Baking soda is safe to swallow, but it is important not to use it every day or as a long term solution to whitening teeth since it is quite abrasive and can damage the enamel.


Lemon Juice

Brushing the teeth with lemon juice mix with a quarter teaspoon of aloe vera gel or one teaspoon of salt is another frequently mentioned home remedy. The lemon's natural bleaching properties can help make the teeth brighter.

Unfortunately, lemon juice itself is also very acidic and will cause the teeth to lose calcium. If too much calcium is lost, the teeth can become very susceptible to decay. In addition, brushing the teeth with lemon juice can also soften the tooth enamel and this may lead to tooth sensitivity. Therefore, lemon juice as a natural teeth whitener is not recommended.


Strawberries

You might have heard that strawberries can give you whiter teeth too. This is perfectly true as strawberries contain an enzyme that acts as a natural teeth whitening agent although the effect is fairly mild.

Apply mashed strawberries to your teeth, or just rub with the whole fruit for the tastiest natural home remedy for whitening teeth.

Again, strawberries contain sugar and malic acid, which removes stains and whiten the teeth but also softens the enamel, so you will need to brush your teeth immediately after this treatment to remove any natural sugars and acids they may leave behind.


Wood Ash

Hard wood ash is a natural teeth whitening agent for teeth. It contains potassium hydroxide (lye) which has tiny crystals that help scrape off stains to give you whiter teeth. However you should be aware that hard wood ash is also one of the most abrasive natural teeth whitening remedies available and can damage the teeth with frequent use, so be sure to use it sparingly.



Mustard Oil

Rubbing a few drops of mustard oil and a pinch of salt on the teeth can help remove stains however be aware that this formula may produce a stinging sensation to the gums.



Hydrogen Peroxide

Another common home remedy for whiter teeth, albeit one that is not really natural, is hydrogen peroxide. The basic whitening agent for many clinical and over the counter tooth whitening products, hydrogen peroxide works very well to whiten your teeth, either on its own or mixed with some baking soda. However due to it's awful taste, most people who use hydrogen peroxide at home often dilute it with water before applying it directly onto their toothbrush.

While hydrogen peroxide is safe to gargle, one should be extra careful not to swallow any of it as it poses a health hazard to the body. For pregnant or lactating women, any accidental swallowing of the whitening gel could be potentially harmful to the unborn fetus.

When using hydrogen peroxide, you may also experience gum irritation. This is perfectly normal and natural however you should avoid using it if you have any sores inside your mouth.

Make Up Tips by Tyra Banks

I find this 5 minute make up tips very useful. Don't forget! Your base foundation, eyeliner and mascara should be expensive so that they don't go all runny on your face after 3 hours of application. Bobbi Brown and MAC will do the trick.

You can save on lipstick, blusher, loose powder, and eye shadow. These can all be from pharmacy brands like Maybelline and Revlon. Most of us reapply our lipstick anyway. If you want your eye shadow to last longer, use make up primer before you apply your make up - especially if you are going to attend a dinner or a wedding!

Good luck looking good girls!

Is Stress Giving You Wrinkles?

Stress and Skin Wrinkles

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco enlisted 27 students, who all had healthy skin, in a clinical study that found that stress effects cause a decrease in the skin's ability to function properly, heal wounds and fight disease.


Over eight weeks of time, the researchers measured the stressed student's levels of anger, confusion, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and tension while also taking sample of student’s surface skin on the forearms. The scientists then monitored when they reduced stress levels how quickly the participants' skin recovered its ability to essentially "breathe" properly.


The researchers discovered that skin recovery was directly linked to reduced stress levels. Throughout the duration of high stress anxiety levels in exam week, there was a marked decrease in the ability of the aggravated skin to return to normal function. The scientists claim that they have found the first direct link between stress effects and a decrease in the capability of the skin to resume normal functioning after disruption. This stress health link may place a stressed individual at greater risk of common skin disease, such as psoriasis or dermatitis, besides premature wrinkling of the skin



Stress and Premature Aging

While studies have demonstrated evidence that stress symptoms can compromise the immune system and elevate blood pressure, new findings at the University of California, San Francisco have found that prolonged exposure to psychological stress can accelerate the aging process of people's cells and cause them to die at a faster rate than normal.


In the study, published in the Proceedings of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, scientists were able to exactly identify the protein-DNA complexes, known as telomeres, which act as genetic timekeepers and communicate to the cells how long they will live. More specifically, the researchers were able to determine that chronic stress effects and perceived emotional stress had a significant impact on three biological factors -- the length of telomeres, the activity of telomerase, and levels of oxidative stress -- in immune system cells known as peripheral blood mononucleocytes.


Telomeres cap the ends of chromosomes and promote genetic stability. Each time a cell divides, a portion of telomeric DNA dwindles away, and after many rounds of cell division, so much telomeric DNA has diminished that the aged cell stops dividing. Thus the telomeres play a crucial role in activity of a cell and its life span. Telomerase is an enzyme that replenishes a portion of telomeres with each round of cell division. Oxidative stress, which has been proven to precipitate cellular damage, has been identified as to possessing the ability to accelerate the shortening of telomeres in cell culture.


The most stunning result of the study was that the telomeres of women with the highest perceived psychological stress anxiety had undergone the equivalent of approximately 10 years of additional aging, compared with those who had the lowest degree of being stressed! The authors of the study commented that their study is the first time that stress symptoms have been linked to a cellular indicator of aging in healthy people.

Say NO to stress! SMILE :D

Food for Clear, Smooth, Tranlucent Skin

By Lucy Danziger, the Editor-in-Chief of SELF magazine



If you’re craving clear, smooth skin (and who isn’t?), you don’t have to spend a fortune on cleansers and creams. In fact, you might already have everything you need to battle blemishes in a surprising place: your fridge. Turns out, what you put in your mouth is as important as what you slather on your face when it comes to curing and preventing common complexion woes.



We all heard this advice as teenagers—to try to fight breakouts by swearing off french fries or chocolate chip ice cream (I know, painful then and now!). But researchers are beginning to hone in on exactly which foods have acne-fighting powers, and lucky for me, they happen to be some of my favorites (Nuts! Spinach!). So if it’s flawless skin you seek, don’t think about what you can’t eat—toss these yummy bites in your shopping cart and try SELF’s delicious recipes to be your most beautiful inside and out.



Nibbles with Zinc

My go-to snack, almonds are rich in zinc, which may help banish existing blemishes and prevent new ones from forming. The mineral works to reduce inflammation to shrink bumps, and it also slows sebum production to reduce shine and prevent more breakouts from forming. Munch on a handful, or toss them into a savory Almond-Pear Galette.

Great sources of zinc:

1. almonds

2. baked beans

3. beef

4. chickpeas

5. oysters

6. pumpkin seeds



Snacks with Carotenoids

Mango packs powerful pigments called carotenoids that turn into vitamin A inside your body. Think of A as kryptonite for acne. It attacks blemishes in three ways: reducing inflammation, encouraging cell turnover (aka natural exfoliations) and strengthening your skin’s defense against bacteria. All of that can add up to clean, clear pores that are less prone to pimples. Spoon up some mango sorbet, or try this refreshing Mango and Melon Dessert.

Great sources of carotenoids:

7. mango

8. cantaloupe

9. carrots

10. spinach

11. sweet potatoes

12. tomatoes



Fare with Fiber

If you really want to clear up unsightly spots, it’s time to give up the white starches: When people cut refined carbs from their diet in favor of high-fiber grains like brown rice, they had half as many blemishes after 12 weeks, an American Journal of Clinical Nutrition paper reports. Eating unhealthy carbs, such as white bread, cookies and pastries, signals the pancreas to send out a surge of insulin. This triggers a hormone-level change in your body that increases oil production and tells cells to multiply, all of which jams pores. But the fiber in whole grains helps your body absorb and burn carbs more slowly, which keeps blood sugar and insulin levels steady. Experiment with brown rice in Sweet and Sour Chicken With Short-Grain Brown Rice and Baby Spinach.

Great sources of fiber:

13. brown rice

14. whole-grain bread

15. popcorn



Make sure all these 15 items are on your shopping list and your on your way to clear, glowing skin!

Pesanan Untuk Orang Cantik

http://www1.iluvislam.com/



Setiap orang adalah unik. Setiap orang ada kelebihan dan kekekurangannya yang tertentu. Tidak ada manusia yang sempurna kecuali Rasululluh s.a.w kerana baginda telah ditentukan maksum.



Selebihnya tidak terkecualai daripada sifat lemah, buruk, hina, sakit san bermacam-macam perkara lagi. Anda tidak perlu berasa susah hati lantaran gemuk, tidak menarik, terlalu rendah malah cacat.



Biar bagaimana keadaan anda, anda tetap unik dan tanpa anda alam ini tidak sempurna.



Memang Allah menjadikan manusia pelbagai rupa dan gaya. Disitulah berkuasanya Allah. Dia berhak dan mampu berbuat apa saja mengikut kehendak-Nya.



Kita memang tidak ada pilihan untuk mempersoal itu ini, mempertikai itu ini. Anda mungkin berasa rendah hati melihat kekurangan-kekurangan yang ada pada diri anda.



Nah, anggap ia satu kelebihan. Jika anda sangka anda buruk, ia satu kelebihan yang tiada pada orang cantik. Anda sangka kecantikan sentiasa membawa untung? Tidak, tidak selalunya begitu.



Kadang-kadang kecantikan memusnahkan. Setelah anda dikenali sebagai cantik, ketakutan anda terhadap keburukan lebih besar daripada jika anda semulajadinya buruk. Orang cantik fobia menjadi buruk.



Setiap kedutan di wajah akan dirawat dan setiap kedutan begitu menyusahkan dirinya. Saat menjadi buruk pasti tiba, bagaimanakah perasan si cantik meghadapi hari tua mereka? Bukankah rasa susah yang tiada kesudahan?



Kadang-kadang seekor semut diberikan sayap oleh Allah supaya dia boleh terbang dan menerjah api.

Samalah halnya, kadang-kadang seseorang manusia itu diberikan kecantikan supaya dengan kecantikan itu dia boleh berbuat sebanyak-banyak mungkar untuk diberikan balasan setimpal di Akhirat.



Tontonlah filem atau drama-drama di TV. Kisah hidup orang cantik selalunya penuh duri. Jika anda buruk setidak-tidaknya anda bebas rasa riak dan takbur.



Penghuni neraka kebanyakkannya wanita sebagaimana disabdakan Rasullah s.a.w wanita itu tentu yang cantik tapi gagal memahami untuk apa kecantikan itu diberikan Allah kepadanya.



Dan wanita itu tidak terkecuali juga yang buruk sebab dia berterus-terusan saja mempertikaikan kerja Tuhan.



Siapakah wanita penghuni syurga itu, barangkali yang cantik dan dia sentiasa faham kecantikan itu ukuran manusia . Cantik pada pandanagn Allah adalah ketaatannya terhadap semua perintah dan laragan Allah.



Barangkali juga yang buruk tapi dia faham Allah tidak memandang rupa paras tapi apa yang ada di dalam hatinya.



Wahai orang cantik, orang buruk, orang rendah, orang cacat, semuanya itu hanyalah ukuran manusia dan ukuran manuisa selalunya sasar.



Hargai diri anda sebab kewujudan anda mambuktikan kekuasaan Allah!



Setiap ciptaan ALLAH s.w.t. itu semuanya cantik dan indah, cuma akal manusia sahaja yang membezaknnya.

Oleh itu, tiada istilah yang buruk atau yang cantik!

YOUR BODY SHAPE

Which body shape do you have?

Fact: If you think you're bottom-heavy or top-heavy,then you probably are!
Don't try to size it down.
You will NOT get a smaller bottom.
Your shape will remain the same no matter how skinny or fat you get.
Research has proven that you will always get the SAME bust/waist and hip/waist ratio no matter how small or large you get.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SPOT REDUCTION!
You have one body, learn to love it, live with it, and look your best out of it.

(Source:http://beauty.suite101.com)
Follow these simple steps to determine your body shape:

1. Start by changing into your best bra and underwear. Making sure the bra is fitted properly. Having a properly fitted bra will help give accurate measurements.
2. With a measuring tape measure the bust, waist, and hips. Keep the measuring tape firm against the skin (not too tight but not too loose either) and keep it parallel with the floor. It may be helpful to have a friend or loved one help to make sure the measurements are accurate. Write down the number so that the information will be correct.
3. Measure the bust at the fullest part of the breast line keeping the measuring tape straight across the back.
4. Measure the waist at the narrowest part of the waist line, this is usually at or slightly above the belly button. Feel for the natural curve of the waist at your side.
5. Measure the hips at the fullest part of the bottom, around the curve of the hips, again make sure to keep the measuring tape straight across.

Now for some simple math to determine your body shape:

* Divide the hip number by the waist number. (hip/waist)
* Divide the bust number by the waist number. (bust/waist)
* Divide the waist number by the hip number. (waist/hip)
* Divide the waist number by the bust number. (waist/bust)

With your numbers, figure out your body type.



Apple shape: If your waist/hip and waist/bust ratio is greater than .75 you are considered an apple. The apple body shape usually have average size breast, a larger belly and a flat butt.


Pear shape: If your hip/waist is greater than 1.25 and your waist/bust is greater than .75. Pear shapes usually have small breast, long waist, a flat tum

Hour-glass shape: If your hip and bust measures within two inches of each other or your waist/hip and waist/bust ratio is less than .75 you have an hour-glass body shape. The hour-glass body shape is considered to be the ideal or perfect body shape. An hour-glass usually has large breasts, short small waist, big hips and large thighs.

(Cello Shape: combination of Hour-glass and pear shape)

Ruler shape: If you are lean with long legs and the shoulder width is equal to the hip width, think model. If your waist/hip and waist/bust ratio is greater than .75 or your hips and bust are the same.

Reverted Triangle: If your bust/waist ratio is greater than 1.25 or a waist/hip greater than .75, your upper body dominates your stature. This can be known as a strawberry or goblet shape. Usually the breasts are large with broad shoulders with a small or no waist and narrow hips.
