BURN CALORIES- THE NATURAL WAY

There are several strategies you can do to burn calories in the body. No need to spend long hours at the gym or a strict diet.

The following ways can be done in about one minute. The key, do it as often as possible.

Talking while walking
Try to talk or sing while walking or doing other activities. For example, cleaning the table (85 calories burned) or watering the plants (burning 102 calories). It would be better if you do it more than a minute, because the calories you burn even more.

Drinking green tea before walking
Before walking into the place of lunch or "window shopping" at the mall, drink a glass of warm green tea. The content of natural caffeine frees fatty acids, making it more flammable. It's polifenol content will increase the amount of calorie burn. So, before a walk, make sure you drink green tea first.

Bring lunch
Eating at restaurants can make you eat more calories and more than 300 calories. Should take food from the house or if you go to restaurant, wrap and eat at home to avoid "hungry eyes".

Replace butter
For the bread greasing, replace butter with olive oil. Besides being more healthy, olive oil makes you eat less. The average calories are 52 fewer calories than using butter.

Select the fish menu
If you really want to eat in restaurants or other eating places, make the fish as the main choice menu. The content of omega 3 in fish, help increase fat burning process through metabolism. Choose processed fish made soup or baked, processed fish should avoid "deep fried".

The Right Jeans for Your Body


Trying to find the best jeans to fit your body type used to mean an exasperating tour of dressing rooms at the shopping mall. Thankfully, denim manufacturers are finally getting hip to our hips … and other body parts. Today, they’re designing jeans to flatter curvy figures, long torsos, petite proportions and everything in between. Major fashion brands such as Gap, Banana Republic and Victoria’s Secret offer petite and tall sizes. Online fit guides, such as Levi’s Curve ID, direct shoppers to the cuts most suited to distinct shapes.
The new attention to fit means that shoppers can select jeans not only by style, but also by inseam, rise and leg opening. There’s a lot to know, so here’s a handy guide to finding the right jeans for your figure.

If You’re Apple-shaped
You have a larger waist and upper body with slimmer hips and thighs.
  • Choose midrise jeans, ideally with 1-2 percent spandex to avoid muffin top and spillover.
  • Avoid pleats and gathers; a flat front minimizes the waist.
  • Select boot-cut or flared jeans to balance a heavier upper body, says Jill Roberts, owner of three eponymous boutiques in Southern California.
  • Don’t despair: Upcoming fall styles feature wider flare-leg jeans that are better proportioned for the apple shape, says Hollywood stylist Tod Hallman.
If You’re Pear-shaped
You have curvy hips, bottom and thighs; a defined waist; and proportionately narrower shoulders and bust.
  • Chose moderately low-rise jeans, preferably with a boot cut or slight flares to balance proportions, says Roberts. She suggests Rag & Bone’s fit for customers with the pear’s typically shorter torso.
  • Look for new stretch blends (Lucky Brand has a 4 percent spandex blend) and shape-enhancing engineered fits — such as those from Not Your Daughter’s Jeans or Yummie Denim by Heather Thomson — to help visually contour the hips and thighs and prevent gaps in the waistband.
  • Opt for dark washes; they’re more slimming than light hues.
  • Choose patch back pockets with simpler stitching designs.
If You’re Rectangular
You have a flatter rear, an undefined waist, and shoulders and hips that are in equal proportion to your bottom half.
  • Select a higher rise (10-12 inches) that sits at or above the waist and balances a long torso.
  • Try the skinny and pencil jeans from J Brand, which tend to fit the typically longer rise of the rectangular figure, says Hallman.
  • Trouser-style jeans that are fuller through the thighs and sit higher on the hips can add elegant shape to a rectangular figure.
  • To add a curvaceous boost to thin legs, look for washes that are lighter in the seat and along the front of the thighs.
If You’re Petite
You’re less than 5 feet 4 inches with a small overall frame.
  • Investigate brands that cut small sizes, such as 7 For All Mankind’s size 23 waist, and CURRENT/ELLIOT’s size 22 waist. True Religion, Gap, Levi’s and Not Your Daughter’s Jeans offer petite sizes that are specifically proportioned for shorter women.
  • Beware of back pockets with elaborate embroidery or flaps that can overwhelm petite figures.
  • Find a good tailor who can hem jeans that would otherwise drag or crumple on top of your foot, says Hallman.
  • Flaunt it! This spring’s colorful skinny jeans look great on petite physiques.
  • A final note of advice from Hallman: “No body type looks great in all jeans. When you find a brand that works for you, stick with it!”

Know Your Body Shape First

Finding your body shape is also helpful to dress-up right as per your body type.  Knowing the dress styles aid you to recognize which style will be best look for your body
.
Apple Body Shape:
If your top portion is relatively heavy, but your waist down area is small, then your body type is apple body shape. You may have fabulous legs and breasts, so your dressing should be showing off best bits and avoiding volume around your middle. Realm line and longer length tops will praise your figure.  Avoid shorts and jackets instead go for high neck and fitted jeans for a slimy look.
Pear Body Shape:
If you have a bottom heavy look, bigger around the hips and thighs then your body type is pear body shape.  Balance out your curvy half with bright tops or tops with lapels or sleeves. Avoid fishtail skirts, especially tight fitting ones.
Strawberry Body Shape:
If you have a figure that’s bigger up top than on bottom because of broad shoulders in relation to waist and hips. Long skirts and wide trousers will balance out your body shape beautifully. Try bright color on bottom half. Choose v-necks and avoid shoulder pads and narrow trousers.

If your figure has curvy body with balanced breasts and hips then your body type is hour glass figure body shape. You are blessed with a very sexy shape, go with wide leg jeans.

WHY NATURAL HEALTH?

Why not, would you rather be unnatural? Think about it, huge amounts of money go into our medical system – mostly from pharmaceutical companies that are pushing drugs that are most definitely not natural.

If you are wondering what is wrong with drugs, I was astonished by the number of drug advertisements in Prevention magazine – based on the majority of their advertisers, they should consider changing their name. But the point here is the total # of pages dedicated to the warnings and side effects of each drug. Each drug had 2–3 pages and the print required some pretty strong reading glasses.
Now what I really object to is that none of the drugs do more than control symptoms. I will be the first to say that there is a time that controlling symptoms is absolutely necessary, but should our entire medical system be dedicated to this??

Under these rules, the sick just get sicker. Follow the average person over a few years. First they take a blood pressure medication, then add one for cholesterol and then they need to add another one because they now need 2 for blood pressure, and then they have to control acid reflux, then they need some to sleep and so on.
Something just is not right about this kind of system. Who gets rich? And whose health is better?

Don’t we all just want better health? And there just has to be a better way than conventional medicine as we know it. My better way is natural. Now it may not be natural to take as many supplements as I do, but I feel great, my blood pressure is low normal, my cholesterol is usually around 200 with good ratios, I rarely get sick, and I have plenty of energy to cook, clean, have fun with my family and ride my horses
.
Most people on medication do not make the same claims as I do. In fact, many want help controlling symptoms caused by their medication. Go figure it out.
