8 HABITS OF SLIM WOMEN.

We all want to have our healthy weight and luckily we can! I believe that with just a few tricks and habits you are on the right track to know how to maintain and maintain that healthy body. So check out these habits of people who never put on too much weight and let us know what you think!

1. You don't have to starve yourself

This may seem funny, but it's the truth. And some people will tell you to do this often, but that is not what your body needs. Many people find that starvation only makes them want to eat more and indulge in binging.

All you have to do is aim for your healthy weight for your body type, that's it! You don't have to reach for impossible standards that negatively affect your mental health.

2. Drink enough water

Water is good for your body, and thankfully, drinking enough water can help you maintain a good weight.

3. Regular exercises

Maintaining weight is not a coincidence or a coincidence. It's an exercise, and to be sharp and healthy, you need frequent exercise, especially in the areas where you're likely to gain weight (e.g. stomach, buttocks, etc.)

4.  Avoid sugar

The more sugar you eat, the harder it will be for you to lose weight. So it's always a good idea to look at the ingredients in your meal and see how much sugar there is in it. If it's high in sugar (or doesn't need sugar like bread), then you can look for sugar-free or low-sugar options.

5. Avoid self-hatred

Why beat you up This will not help you achieve your goals at all. It is a good idea to love yourself now and work on seeing yourself attractive. Because once you get to the weight you want, you will better understand that your worth does not result from it.

6. Sleep

Always make sure you have a good night's sleep. This will not only help you mentally but also physically. There are certain functions our bodies perform during sleep that help us lose weight. So if you get a decent amount of sleep every night, you will stay at a healthy weight.

7. Alcohol

Lots of people don't like to think about it, but drinking alcohol is a great way to absorb empty calories and gain weight. So try to find healthier options that will help you stay sharp.

8. Don't go overboard on fraudulent days

It can be easy to think that on fraudulent days we can just eat what we want. And we can! But ... how much of it do you eat? The best course of action for fraudulent days is to make sure you are not making yourself sick and consuming thousands of calories.

HAIR CARE TIPS EVERY MAN SHOULD KNOW.

Whether you like classic type hairstyle or latest and trendiest hairstyles, a well balanced and simple hair care routine is important for great looking manly locks.

Hair is made up of protein and keratin with no blood supply or nervous system and has no reparative qualities. Hair is not alive, so it cannot be healthy. Therefore, in order to get healthy hair you should have a well maintained hair care regimen in order to preserve strength, elasticity, and shine.

Here are some hair care tips for men:

The first and foremost tip for hair care is to try to stay healthy. Hair health often reflects the overall health of the body. Therefore:

• Eat a balanced diet.

• Live stress-free.

• Get a lot of sleep.

• Drink plenty of water.

• Do sports regularly.

Pat dry

• Do not rub your hair with a towel.
• Shake out the excess water and stroke your hair in the direction it's growing.
• If you want to keep using a blower, use a thermal styling spray or detangler to coat the hair and protect it from damage.

Avoid hot water

• Avoid using hot water on your hair as hot water removes too much essential oil from the hair and scalp and leads to dryness.

Chemical treatments

• To keep hair healthy, avoid chemical treatments like perming, straightening, and repeated dyeing.
• Use herbal hair care products to protect your hair from chemicals.
• Use the right tools
• Do not use a brush on wet hair.
• Brush with natural bristles.
• Choose a wide tooth comb, especially if you have curly hair.
• Avoid irons and dryers.

Avoid tight hats and stay cut:

• Avoid tight hats and ponytails.
• Hair cutting is very important to prevent split ends like condition. Even if you let your hair grow out, you should have it cut every six weeks or so.

Reduce frizz

• Low levels of moisture and protein in the hair can lead to frizz. Use a good moisturizing conditioner to minimize this problem.

Volume

• Before using shampoo, massage your scalp gently with natural hair.
• Avoid circular patterns on long hair.
• Use your fingertips like a spider doing pushups. This is an often skipped part of hair care. It helps the scalp release natural oils from the sebum or oil producing glands.

HOW TO GROW STRONG, HEALTHY NAILS AT ANY AGE.

Struggling with brittle nails? Just like your skin and hair, nails require proper care. They are an integral part of your look and reflect your overall health. If they split, crack, or refuse to grow, your diet and personal care routine might not be as good as you think. Any changes in nail color and shape can indicate an underlying health issue.

What Your Nails Say about Your Health

Fingernails aren't just an aesthetic feature. They act as a protective shield and protect your fingertip from external damage. Your nails also increase the sensitivity of the fingertip and allow you to perform certain actions such as scraping or cutting. Thickening or discoloration of the nails is often a sign of anemia, heart disease, kidney disease, or diabetes.

In general, yellow nails indicate psoriasis, thyroid disease, or lung disease. Dry, brittle nails can be caused by a fungal infection, toxin build-up, or hypothyroidism. They can also indicate a deficiency in biotin, vitamin A, or vitamin C. If your nails are bent down, inflammatory bowel disease or liver disease can occur. Horizontal ridges are a sign of zinc deficiency or uncontrolled diabetes. Vertical ridges are caused by a magnesium or vitamin B12 deficiency.

Simple Ways to Keep Your Nails Healthy

Regular nail care can improve your health and appearance. Start by optimizing your diet. Eat foods that are high in biotin and essential fatty acids, such as tuna, salmon, and avocado. Consider taking a biotin supplement to strengthen brittle nails. Make hand cream and cuticle oil part of your beauty routine.

Apply a protective layer before using nail polish. Before bed, massage your cuticles with a small amount of petroleum jelly to help moisturize your nails. Wear rubber gloves when washing dishes or doing chores. The chemicals in detergents weaken your nails and surrounding tissues. Note that the quick-drying nail polish is high in alcohol and formaldehyde, which can split and dry your nails. So better avoid it.

8 OF THE BEST YOGA POSES TO FALL ASLEEP FASTER

 I think we all agree that having a good night's sleep is important, right?

A sleepless night often leaves you feeling zombified, moody, and unproductive the next day. More importantly, it's not healthy in the long run.

For some, falling asleep and getting a good night's sleep could be a daily struggle. But here's a natural way to solve that - yoga!

Practicing yoga has many benefits for your body, mind, and even your sleep.

While some yoga poses focus on helping you build strength and energy, there are other yoga poses that can help you relax your body and mind. Putting yourself in a relaxed state can help you fall asleep, sleep soundly, and wake up refreshed for the next day.

Best of all, you can achieve relaxation and better sleep by performing a short, gentle yoga sequence in the comfort of your home.

Think of it as a healthy, relaxing session after the end of a busy day.

Let's roll out your yoga mat, practice these bedtime yoga poses to help you fall asleep faster, or at least get the sleep you deserve!

1. Standing Forward Bend

The Standing Forwards Bend helps to relieve stress, headaches and insomnia as it calms the brain.

You don’t need to keep your knees straight if you can’t.

Just bend your knees a little to ease the strain and release tension in the legs and hips.

• Begin with standing with your feet six inches apart.
• Gently fold your torso towards the ground. Just like all forward bends, the emphasis is on lengthening the torso as you enter the pose fully.
• With your knees straight, bring your fingers to the floor beside your feet or slightly in front.
• If you cannot straighten your knees, don’t worry. You can cross your arms and hold the opposite elbows.
• On Inhale, lengthen the front torso slightly. And on exhale, relax and release into the forward bend a little deeper.
• Let your head hang between the shoulder blades.
• Hold this pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• When coming up, bring your hands to your hips, press your tailbone down into the pelvis and slowly come up with a long front torso.

2. Cat and Cow Pose 

The Cat and Cow Pose looks pretty easy to do, yet it is very beneficial for the mind.

This pose provides a gentle massage to the spine and neck by lengthening the spine to the discs between the vertebrae. This will calm the mind and relieve stress from the back and neck.

Start by entering Cat Pose and then Cow Pose. The flow between these two poses creates space between vertebrae by loosening up the spine.

• For Cat Pose, start on your hands and knees (tabletop position). Your knees are directly below your hips and your arms straight with your wrists directly under your shoulders.
• On exhale, round your spine, pull your belly in and release your head towards the floor without forcing your chin to your chest. Make sure to keep your shoulders and knees in the same position.
• Enter Cow Pose on inhalation by lifting your chest, lower your belly, bring your tailbone up towards the ceiling and look towards the ceiling.
• Perform this flow for 5 breaths or as long as you like.
• When you’re done, recover to a tabletop position.

3. Child’s Pose (Balasana)

The Child’s Pose is often used as a resting pose. It stretches the thighs, hips, back.

Practicing this pose helps to relieve fatigue and calm the mind as well.

If you have any discomfort in your back or neck, this may also help to relieve the pain.

• From the previous tabletop position, Sink your hips back and sit on your heels.
• Gently bring your head towards the floor and chest between your thighs.
• With your forehead resting on the floor, stretch your arms in front.
• Breathe deeply into your lower back.
• Hold this position for 30 seconds to several minutes or however long you like.

4. Legs Up the Wall Pose

This pose also improves blood circulation for the upper body and head, rebalancing your body after you have been sitting or standing for a long time.

It gives you a gentle hamstring stretch and helps to relieve lower back pain, stress, fatigue and headaches.

It also helps drain lymph and lactic acid from the legs. This will decrease the soreness and fatigue accumulated in your legs if you spend a lot of time standing.

• Begin with your legs straight up the wall.
• Bring your tailbone to the base of the wall as close as possible.
• If you can, try to have your glutes touching the wall.
• Make sure to feel comfortable, not stretched.

5. Supine Spinal Twist

This Supine Spinal Twist stretches the back muscles, spine and hamstrings. It also eases back tension, improves breathing and soothes frazzled nerves.

Practicing this pose is great for unwinding after a long day!

The reclined position penetrates deep into the spine, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

• Lie on your back and bring your arms out to the sides with the palms facing down.
• Bend the right knee and place the right foot on the left knee.
• On exhale, drop the right knee over to the left side of your body. If you’d like a neck stretch, gaze towards your right fingertips. Make sure your shoulders are flat on the floor.
• Allow gravity to pull your knee down, so you don’t have to use any effort. Close your eyes and relax into the posture.
• Hold this position for 1 minute or as long as you like.
• To come out, roll the right hips back and right legs back down to the floor.
• Repeat on the other side.

6. Happy Baby Pose 

Just like mimicking a happy baby by holding your feet and ankles, this pose offers a full-body relaxation.

This pose is perfect for practicing right before bed to relieve stress and encourage a great night’s sleep.

• Lie on your back and bend your knees into your belly.
• Grasp the insides of your feet with your hands.
• Then pull your heels up to the ceiling while keeping your tailbone down.
• Your ankles are directly over your knees and your knees should be pulled towards your armpit area. Keep your heels flexed.
• Rock back and forth gently to massage the spine.
• Hold this pose for 1 minute or as long as you like.

7. Reclining Bound Angle Pose

This is a classic yoga pose often practice in restorative yoga. It helps to relieve the symptoms of stress, mild depression and menstruation.

The Reclining Bound Angle Pose is one of the best yoga poses to fall asleep faster because it’s easy to do and can be adjusted for any level of hip or groin resistance.

• Continue from the previous Happy Baby pose, let your feet down to the ground.
• Bring the soles of the feet together so that they touch each other.
• Let gravity pull your knees down while keeping your heels close to your pelvis. The key here is to feel as comfortable as possible.
• Breathe deeply and evenly. Close your eyes and relax deep into the posture.
• Stay in this pose for 5 minutes.

8. Corpse Pose

Finally, enter the Corpse Pose, a total relaxation yoga pose that ultimately helps to reduce headache, fatigue, and insomnia.

When doing this pose, it’s crucial that the body is in a neutral position.

• From the previous Reclined Bound Angle Pose, release both legs down to the corner of your bed or mat. Keep your groins soften and feet turn out.
• Place your hands a few inches away from your hips with both your palms facing the ceiling.
• Close your eyes and let your mind free of any thoughts. Breathe deeply and naturally.
• Hold this pose as long as you like.

Get better sleep naturally with yoga!

We've all been through this! Whether it falls asleep faster or just gets a good night's sleep.

Studies have shown that practicing yoga frequently can help improve the quality of your sleep

A good night's sleep after a long day is critical to long-term productivity and health. While some may solve their sleepless nights with sleeping pills, why not sleep better naturally with yoga?

If you practice these yoga poses for just 20 minutes or less, you will find that it is easier to relax in your sleep. Before you know it, you'll be sleeping in dreamland!

5 Foods To Avoid To Lose Belly.

 On a personal level, I saw a huge difference in my stomach as I dropped these foods that I'll talk about below.

And believe me, it will be worth it to see your tummy shrink when you stop clinging to these foods.

The foods listed below may be your staples or you think they are good for you.

I understand you if you just enjoy eating them. You may even think that it is impossible to remove them from your diet.

However, a change is required!

Still wondering what foods to avoid to lose belly fat? Continue reading!

1- White Rice/Pasta/Bread

The first on the list of foods that you should avoid losing your belly fat is refined rice, pasta, and bread.

White rice, pasta, and bread are low in nutritional value in terms of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

This fact is enough to put it on the list of foods not to eat while trying to lose belly fat.

Fiber is important for those looking to reduce belly fat as it provides a longer feeling of satiety.

If a food doesn't contain what is needed to lose weight, let alone reduce your belly fat and then throw it away!

Alternatives: brown rice, pasta, bread

2- Artificial Sweeteners/Refined Sugar

As I explained earlier, the source of sugar is essential for your body.

The main source of energy for the body is glucose, which is carbohydrates that are converted to sugar during digestion.

Unfortunately, refined sugar, which we call table sugar, is deprived of all of its minerals and vitamins.

Artificial sweeteners have been popular since 1998 and many people consider them the best alternative to white sugar.

For a long time I also thought that I was doing the right thing if I swapped white sugar for an artificial sweetener.

In fact, artificial sweeteners do not contain any calories, but they are definitely healthy as some may think.

Studies have shown that consumption of these sweeteners is linked to weight gain and belly fat over time.

They can cause an imbalance in your metabolic system because the type of sweetness the brain perceives on the tongue and the actual blood sugar the brain receives are not the same.

The brain senses a certain interruption. To make up for the lack of calories, the brain sends signals that you need to eat more.

I now understand why diet soft drinks or foods containing artificial sweeteners are never satisfying.

You'll always want more of that Diet Coke, more of these so-called healthy baked goods.

Over time, I've come to understand the effects artificial sweeteners can have on my body.

Sincerely, I now see these sweeteners as real dangers.

Alternatives: stevia, raw honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar

3- Deep-Fried Foods

Did you know that when you deep-fry the food, the water content is removed to absorb the oil?

Deep-frying a food actually adds more calories to it, especially fats.

My advice to those looking to get rid of their big belly is to avoid fried foods for as long as possible.

Alternatives: oven-baked foods, air-fried foods

4- Processed Foods

Convenience is an important consideration for a customer when shopping for groceries these days.

It's so easy, cheap, and convenient to simply have your favorite pre-cooked turkey lasagna or margherita pizza that you simply reheat it in your oven instead of preparing and cooking it yourself.

Processed foods include prepackaged meals, pastries, nuggets, cheese, sausages, and the list goes on.

These foods are your enemies !!! They are one of the words foods to avoid losing belly fat.

Since they have lost their taste in the process, manufacturers have to add sodium, sugar, additives and trans fats.

The purpose of these supplements is to help with flavor enhancement, color preservation, and of course, they add up on the shelves for long months.

All of these ingredients slow down digestion.

You also need to know that processed foods are highly addictive.

You will never feel satiated and you will always want more because of these extra elements, especially sodium.

Again, added sugars, trans fats, and sodium are ingredients that will only add to your weight.

Alternatives: Homemade meals, chickpea burgers, grass-fed beef burgers

5- Soft Drinks

When I say soft drinks, I am also referring to sugar-free drinks or diet drinks, which are also included in the list of foods to avoid losing belly fat.

Studies have shown that soft drinks have this tendency to arouse appetite and suppress the feeling of satiety.

Not to mention, they are loaded with sugar, which will eventually raise blood sugar levels and increase your fat storage.

Alternatives: amniotic fluid, smoothies, protein shakes, natural fruit juices.
