Una cosa è certa: le foto sono gratis da vedere. Soprattutto quelle che sono state già fatte. Le foto ancora da fare possono invece essere molto care da guardare. Dipende dal fotografo. Ma se l'occhio che vuole la sua parte la ottiene gratis, non è detto che il resto non si paghi. L'uso commerciale delle foto può non essere gratis affatto. Forse non è neppure permesso mangiarle gratis, le foto. D'altra parte, come si fa a mangiare una foto? Mah... Non vi resta che guardare.

  • RELIEVING STRESS THROUGH HAND MASSAGE
    Photobucket

    We are always face with stress in our lives, whether you like it or not. Stress at home and work, although there are some activities which we can do to lessen stress, some of it cannot be done in our workplace. But there is one solution, you can perform hand exercise routines that you can do while sitting in your office cube. Here are some hand exercise to help you relieve stress.

    • Take a dab of lotion or massage oil and slowly work it through your hands. Give special attention to the folds between the fingers, the ball like muscles beneath the thumb, the wrists, and the tip of the fingers. Once you have lavished the lotion or oil on your skin, run your right thumb repeatedly at the muscles comprising the base of the fingers of your other hand. Do this for 10 to 20 counts before doing the same with your other palm.
    • Link your fingers together, like you were praying (elbows bent). Push inwards, keeping you palms several inches from your chest. Elevate your elbows to shoulder level. Hold this position for 10 counts and then release.
    • Push your right arm forward with palm flexed upward. Take your left palm and gently pull back your right palm toward your body. Do this gently for 5 counts. Make sure that you are doing this exercise without causing pain, and only until you feel your muscles stretched but not strained. Release for 5 counts, and do this again for 5 to 10 repetitions. Do the same on the left arm.
    • Press palms together in front of your chest. Fingers should be extended and space apart. Elbows must be either at shoulder level or parallel to the floor. Push hard on both palms until you feel your forearms straining. Hold this position for 10 counts and release for 5 counts. Twenty reps should help ease the symptoms of stress on your shoulder.
    • Stretched your fingers by opening them widely and slowly making a fist, one finger at a time. It does not matter if you want to start with the thumb or the little finger as long as you let the fingers stretch while making a fist. You can do this one palm at a time or both palms at the same time. In between the stretching, you can shake your hands in the air to release the tension.
    • Clapping loudly relieves stress. So go and clap your hands a few times, but try to add more pressure at the point of impact, particularly on the heels of the palm.
    These exercise work better if you incorporate stress relieving breathing exercise aw well. And as you do these exercise routines, freeing your mind of negative thoughts.

  • PERMANENT MAKEUP CAN SCAR YOU
    I have a friend during college days a we call her "instik" or "Jong" because shes Chinese. Jong, likes to put on makeup (well all girls are) but what shes concerned about is her very thin eyebrows, which she usually covers it up with and eyebrow pencil. Sometimes when shes in a hurry the eyebrows are not even when she draws it. And we usually laugh and tease her. But when we graduated she had it tattooed permanently (that's what she said to us so that she wont have to use an eyebrow pencil everyday). Then yesterday i read a magazine that warned consumers that injecting inks as eyeliner, lip liner or eyebrow coloring could possibly cause disfigurement. Although it said there POSSIBLY, but it concerned me cause shes my friend and also to other women who'll do anything to make themselves beautiful.

    Side effects are swelling, cracking, peeling, blistering, scarring and the forming of granulomas - chronic swelling and infection int issue near the eyes or lips.

    Some cases reported serious disfigurement, resulting in difficulty in eating and talking.

  • STEPS TO A HEALTHY BODY
    We all know health is one of the most important things in life cause if we are healthy we can serve more, you can love your family more. Here are some steps to a healthy body.

    1. Learn to relax. Release stress. A group of researchers made an experiment asking two groups of people to write on their diaries. The researchers asked one group to write superficial things that happened to them during the day. They asked the other group to write about their traumatic experiences, the deeply painful events in their lives. After a few months, the researchers found out that the second group strengthened their immune system. In the other group. nothing happened.

    You can release stress by writing on your journal, talking to someone or through prayer ( for me it is one of the best form of relaxation).

    2. Live with a clear conscience. When you keep sinning against God, your body knows it. And sometimes, what you didn't confess comes out through your body in forms of tumors and cancer and cysts. Live with a clear conscience if you want to stay healthy.

    3. Invest in friendship. Medical studies have proven that people who spend time building gret friendship are healthier than people who don't.

  • WHEN YOUR SPOUSE IS HAVING AN AFFAIR
    Photobucket

    A nice article i found on our library archive about relationships. Marital infidelity doesn't mean the end of a marriage, although it may feel that way. Believe it or not, many affairs have served to jump start dying relationships and moved partners out of their comfort zones. If you find yourself in this situation, here are some tips from relationship experts:

    1. The news will hit you hard and will hurt a lot but hold off making any hasty decision about your future.

    2. Your spouse should agree to end the illicit relationship. If not, leave him or her.

    3. When both of you are calm, have a serious talk about the root and causes of the affair.

    4. Answer the question: What needs to change in your marriage to prevent future infidelity?

    5. Seek counseling as a couple.

  • MONEY SAVING TIPS
    Photobucket

    Living in a tight budget is not the easiest thing to do, but it can be done. If you find that you overspend every month, here's a list of practical money saving tips you can apply to help keep your expenses down.

    • Pay cash whenever possible. This will help you from making a purchase unless you have actually have money available. If you decide to make a credit card purchase, be prepared to pay the balance off monthly.
    • Bring your own baon. Eating out whether at a restaurant or at the office cafeteria, cost a lot more then bringing your own lunch.
    • Cut down unnecessary texts and cellphone calls. Schedule calls that are not time sensitive on Sundays and off peak hours. If you can postpone your call until you get to a land line, then wait.
    • Get a piggy bank and pour your change into it on a daily basis. What's important to remember is that saving a peso here and there eventually adds up. Avoid the temptation to splurge a little more just because you don't think it would save that much money. If you can shave off P300 a month from your regular expenses, that amounts to 3,600 a year.

  • ABCs OF GETTING HIGH GRADES
    I found a great article while visiting the city library. This one is a good article for all students to read. Getting ahead in school is not just excelling mentally but socially, physically and spiritually as well. Achieving high grades will be as easy as memorizing your ABC when you live a balanced life.

    Attend classes regularly. Avoid making unnecessary absences.

    Begin your day with God. Pray and read the Bible for your spiritual and intellectual growth.

    Come to class early. This will give you time to review your notes or do advance reading.

    Divide long term assignments/projects into small tasks that you can work on a daily basis.

    Engage in profitable or intellectually enhancing hobbies. Join sports activities, enjoy the beauty of God's creation, keep a diary, do one random act of kindness each day.

    Focus on what you are doing at the moment for maximum efficiency.

    Go out and make friends. Make amends with your enemies. doing so does not only add colors to your life, they also complete the circle of life.

    Help a classmate who is lagging behind. You'll master your lesson in the process.

    Invite the Lord to be your Guide, Partner, and Friend and you'll always be on the right track.

    Jot down notes. They come in handy during reviews.

    Keep track of time. Wasted time equals lost opportunities.

    Laugh often, love life, and live one day at a time.

    Make a daily schedule. List the things that you need to do for the day to avoid forgetting them.

    Never ever skip breakfast. Doing so is one of the biggest brain damaging habits.

    Offer your heart, soul and mind to your Creator and King.

    Participate in discussions. You'll learn more if you interact more.

    Quit minding other people's business. You have no idea what they are really going through.

    Research. Don't just settle with the things that you learn inside the classroom.

    Stay fit. Eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. A healthy body is a must to a healthy mind.

    Take time alone to reflect and count your blessings.

    Use your talent, knowledge, and skills for the glory of God.

    Vent your feelings and opinions only after spending careful thought about them.

    Wait, if you can, until you graduate in college before having a sweetheart.

    Xerox or photocopy materials that you missed and study them.

    Yearn to learn something new each day.

    Zoom in on worthwhile opportunities that come your way. A missed opportunity is lost forever.

  • BENEFITS OF TAKING POWER NAPS
    Photobucket

    Sometimes when we feel that we are running low on energy, we get a sudden attack if drowsiness, or get bombarded by information overload, a power nap is a very good way to recharge your batteries. Here are some benefits you get from power napping.

    1. Increase cognitive functions. NASA researchers found that 15-30 minutes power naps increased cognitive faculties by approximately 40 percent. The nap must be short in order to produce maximum effectiveness though. Sleeping beyond forty five minutes causes the beneficial effects of napping to disappear. 30 minutes is the max time to get both rested and recharged.

    2. Better decision making and productivity. If you get the chance to power nap, particularly if you lack sleep, by all means, take one. You will feel more alert and energetic afterwards. Once rested, your mood, efficiency, and alertness level will greatly improve.

    3. Reduced risk of heart disease. Taking 40 winks in the middle of the day may reduce the risk of death from heart disease, say researchers, because they improve the levels of cortisone in the blood.

    4. Mood improvement. Curling up in a sofa, laying your head down on your desk, or snoozing in the car results in relaxation galore. Research shows stress hormone levels lowered in those who take stress reducing naps. Napping does help to make you a more agreeable person.

    5. Memory improvement. Tests show that those who sleep better remember more things and perform better in exams and problem solving situations. Napping is directly related to academic or task performance.

  • TIPS FOR A BETTER EYESIGHT
    Photobucket

    Sometimes we take our eyes for granted, our eyes is one of our most precious possessions. Here are some tips to make our eyesight better.

    1. Eat more fruits. A study revealed that those who ate the greatest amount of fruits were the least likely to develop age related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older people.

    2. Sneak in spinach. Eating spinach twice a week gives sufficient supply of lutein, a nutrient that prevents age related macular, degeneration and cataracts. For best absorption, get you lutien in combination with some form of fat (olive oil works great).

    3. Take car precautions. Dry, air conditioned air sucks the moisture out of our eyes. Aim the vents away from your eyes or wear sunglasses as a shield. Dryness can lead to corneal abrasions and even blindness if left untreated.

    4. Monitor your monitor. Moving your computer screen just below your eye level will cause your eyes to slightly close. This minimizes fluid evaporation and dry eyes.

    5. Feast on fish. A group of Harvard researchers evaluated the diets of 32,470 women and found that those who ate least amount of fish had the highest risk of dry eye syndrome. So eat fish twice a week or, if you can't stand fish, try fish oil supplements to get your omega 3s.

    6. Be cool. Turn down the heat in your house. Heat dries out the air, which in turn, dries your eyes.

    7. Hide behind shades. It protects your eyes from the harsh glare of the sun and its damaging ultraviolet rays. Wear sunglasses even when it's not sunny outside to protect your eyes from the drying effects of the wind.

    8. Wear a hat or use an umbrella. Doing so will block roughly about 50% of the UVradiation that may enter your eyes from about ot around sunglasses.

    9. Binge on beets. Roasted fresh beets make for an eye saving dish. The deep red color beets is derived from phytochemicals called anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants that protect the smaller blood vessels in your body, particularly your eyes.

    10. Give yourself a spa treatment. Dab an essential oil of jasmine, peppermint or vanilla on your arm and sniff. Jasmine increases the beat waves in the frontal lobes of the brain, promoting wakefulness and enabling you to focus better and see things more acutely. These scents stimulate the limbic system in your brain, which in turn, stimulates the rods in your eyes, helping you to see in dim light.

  • TIPS ON SAVING MONEY WHILE EATING OUT
    Photobucket

    Although eating in your house and cooking for yourself and your love one would greatly save you money. But its also nice to go out with your family or your love one and treat them to a restaurant from time to time. Here are some tips on how you can to that without breaking your budget.

    • Go for lunch specials. Lunch specials are usually cheaper than dinners, and breakfasts are even more so. Always ask for the daily special as it can often be a good deal.
    • New restaurant. Keep an eye out for newspaper ads regarding new restaurants. Often a restaurant that has just opened for business will want to attract new customers with discount and freebies.
    • Drink water. You go to a restaurant for the good food, not for the drinks. You can get those for much cheaper at a grocery store. Drink water instead.
    • Just order side items. A salad and an appetizer can often make for a delicious but affordable meal for one.
    • Don't order two dinners. If you go to a restaurant with your partner, order one dinner and an appetizer and split it. Many restaurant usually serve way too much, which is costly and unhealthy if you finish it.

  • MAKE YOURSELF INDISPENSABLE
    Its hard to find a new job now a days. So make yourself indispensable to your company. Employers often say that the key to keeping one's job is not about the skills you have, but its more of the person's qualities, habits and capacities. Here are some tips for you:

    1. Focus on your company's success, not your own. In challenging times, your employer wants a selfless, highly collaborative team player who meets and exceeds his commitments.

    2. Be open to change. Be flexible and open minded. Say yes to any and all changes that management throws your way. And this includes tightening of your expense budget, more work with the same resources, higher goals, and so on.

    3. Everything is your job. Take on tasks that fall outside your job description. This will serve you well come performance appraisal or downsizing time.

    4. Throw away your negative mindset. Employers value employees whose positive attitude contributes to a more productive team. Whatever it takes, keep the negative mindset out of the pffice. Focus on what can be and not what can't.

    5. "Unwritten rules" are now engraved in stone. Be prepared to show up early or stay late, or go beyond what's expected of you. Management now notices people who leave on the dot or take very long breaks, and so on.

  • WAYS TO LEARN TO FORGIVE
    We all know that forgiving someone who has hurt us can be very difficult. Frederic Luskin, PhD, author of Forgive for Good, states however that "people who forgive show less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness." Here are ways to go about the process of forgiving:

    • Calm yourself. Focus on something that makes you happy: a beautiful scene, a person you love, a happy event.
    • Don't wait for an apology. You might have to wait for forever to let go of your anger if you wait for an apology from whoever has hurt you - some people either don't know that they have offended you or don't want to apologize. Why don't you forgive the person even if he or she doesn't ask? Forgiving doesn't mean that you condone whatever he or she has done.
    • Remove the person's control over you. When you forgive, you remove the person's power over you. You release yourself from his power to make you angry, depressed or whatever feeling he may provoke in you.
    • Put yourself in the other person's shoes. Gain a probably enlightening perspective by putting yourself in the other person's shoes. The person may have acted out of ignorance or maybe even love in what he or she did.
    • Forgive yourself. Some people are their own harshest critic. Learn to accept and forgive yourself of your own failings.

  • HOW TO IMPROVE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP
    This is article are for a mother or a daughter, or both. Here are five typical types of relationships and how to improve them:

    1. Best Friends. Others envy your relationship with one another. While this is good as you operate on a level playing field, you must also remember that at times, a daughter needs a parent. So both parties need to respect their roles and acknowledge the generation gap.

    2. Sisterly. Though not quite best friends, you have a deep connection with each other and like each other. Usually in this type of relationship, there is some sense of competition, even though many families want to repress it. So try to understand what the other is feeling and be especially supportive in those areas.

    3. Clashing Personalities. You're always butting heads against each other, which can be difficult. Mothers should not underestimate their power and overestimate their daughter and vice versa. Adult daughters should listen to their mother's advice even if they don't necessarily have to follow them so that the mother wont feel ignored.

    4. Reverse Nurture. Your roles are switching because of age, health, finances or culture. This usually improves relations as daughters feel needed and mothers feel loved. But it's important for daughters to make sure mothers feel more valued as they become less dominant in the family. Take time to talk about traditions and values that you share.

    5. Enmeshed. No decision gets made without the others approval in this type of relationship. While you can always count on the other, it's tough to create boundaries. Because this type of relationship is often driven by fear of abandonment, it is good to slowly bould boundaries while still emphasizing the mother's value.

  • TIPS ON IMPROVING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR IN-LAWS
    Having problems with your relationship with your in laws? here are some tips to help you improve it:

    1. Be realistic. You have to accept that if there is anything you don't like about your in laws behavior, you cannot change it. Only they can change it. But you can change how you react to their behavior. So focus on your part and accept them as they are.

    2. Understand the deeper issues. You might think you just don't mesh well with each other, but sometimes there may be deeper reasons why you and your in laws cannot seem to get close. For example, your in laws coldness toward you could be because they feel threatened losing their son or daughter to you. Try to understand where they are coming from and bridge the gap.

    3. Make an effort to get to know you in laws better. It might be initially awkward to do this but it will get easier as time goes on. Invite them to lunch or call them. Get to know the persons behind the facade they present to you.

    4. Stay out of fights between your spouse and his family. As much as possible, let your spouse handle any difficult subject or confrontation with his or her family and relatives.

    5. Make you in laws feel welcome in your home. Treat them as valued members of the family, which they truly are, instead of inspector-generals, which is how you might feel. Your warmth and hospitality will rub off on them and improve your relationship.

  • A GUILT FREE GUIDE TO SAYING NO
    Yup i know its hard to say no to someone. For some people saying no i a major decision. "Saying yes when you need to say no causes burnout. You do yourself and the person making the request a disservice by saying yes all of the time," says author Duke Robinson. Here are some advice to help you.

    • Saying No for the Sake of Your Wallet. If a friend in need asks for a huge loan, you can say. "I wish I could, but as a rule, I don't lend money to friends." By not singling out the person, you're not saying he or she is untrustworthy. According to communications trainer Don Gabor, "It can change the nature of your relationship if the person doesn't pay you back."
    • Saying No for the Sake of Your Time. You are offered a promotion that you don't want and demands more hours and more responsibility. You can reply, "I'm flattered that you want me, but for personal reasons I'm not in a situation where I can take this on. Can we talk again if my circumstances change?" By saying this, your boss will understand that you have personal priorities that take precedence.
    • Saying No for the Sake of Your Sanity. A guest offers to bring a dish that doesn't go with the theme of your party. Just say, "What a kind offer - thank you. I have already planned the menu, but do you have and dietary restrictions I should know about?" If she's just being nice, then acknowledging her offer lets the person know she did all she could. Of course, if she has dietary restrictions then you can change your mind and let her bring a dish that she can eat.

  • MILLIONAIRE'S MONEY MANAGEMENT SECRET
    Who doesn't want to be rich? of course almost all people want to be rich, me including. So how do we get rich? well its nice to know a thing or two from those who are rich themselves and to know their secret on how to be one. We might think millionaires have it lucky. Check out their answer below and find out some of their secrets:

    1. Start early to avoid financial pitfalls. Adrian Cartwood, 49, author of the blog, How to Make Million in 7 Years, lived frugally while building his technology related business. He said, "Learn how to live within your means and how to delay gratification; there are the habits that you need to maintain on the way up, so you can keep your millions when you get there."

    2. Believe that you can do it. According to Alan Corey, author of A Million Bucks by 30, who became a millionaire by investing in real estate, said that he read as many biographies and autobiographies of millionaires before he became one. "What I found was they all had an incredible self belief that they would be financially successful," he shared.

    3. Work Hard - and you'll get lucky. Donald Trump attributes his success to hard work, explaining inhis book, Think Like a Champion, "If your work pays off, which it most likely will, people might say you're just lucky. Maybe so, because you're lucky enough to have the brains to work hard!"

  • HOW TO AVOID RELATIONSHIP TRAPS
    If you want your love life to be successful, here are some relationship don'ts to keep in mind.

    1. Don't try to change your partner. People who say, "If he/she loves me, then he/she will change" will soon find out how destructive this is in a relationship. If you love someone, you have to accept them - flaws and all.

    2. Don't reject your partner to protect yourself. Those who feel the need to protect themselves by rejecting someone they love out of fear of being rejected need to sort out personal issues. If they feel they can't hold on to their partner, they have to first learn to accept themselves.

    3. Don't expect your partner to be a mind reader. Communication is the lifeblood of relationships. A woman who thinks her man should know her needs is putting unrealistic burdens on him. Know what you want, ask for it clearly, and be ready to accept a yes or no.

    4. Don't think that it's your partner's role to make you happy. Your happiness is your responsibility.

    5. Don't accuse your man of refusing to talk. Men will talk when they feel safe under the right circumstances. Don't coerce them into a dialogue if they're not ready.

  • FOODS TO HELP YOU FLATTEN YOUR BELLY
    Here is a nice article i found on a magazine. Which states that there are certain foods and styles of eating that can help you flatten your belly. It isn't just giving up on carbohydrates and munching on rabbit food.

    1. Give me a C. Research says that food rich in Vitamin C, such as citrus, cantaloupe and red pepper, reduces fat absorption. You can meet your daily Vitamin C intake of 75 milligrams by snacking on an orange or a cup of strawberries.

    2. Tea up. Women with the highest consumption of catechins, the plant based antioxidants in tea that may boost fat burn, put on fewer pounds than those who drank less tea. The green or white varieties contain the most catechins.

    3. Peel it off. Banana, which contains 422 mg of potassium, controls the amount of puff producing sodium in your system. snack on a banana and you'll banish bloat fast.

    4. Go low. A meal of low glycemic index foods, which the body digests slowly, makes you feelfuller. These includes oatmeal's, vegetables and some fruits like grapefruits and blueberries.

    5. Stroll away your sweet craving. Can't resist chocolates? A little dark chocolate is fine, but if you've already hit your limit, it's time to lace up your sneakers! a 15 minute walk is reported to reduce yearning of sweets during and even after the walk.

    6. Ditch high fructose corn syrup. Research suggests that high fructose corn syrup causes a surge in blood sugar and messes up your hunger and satiety signals, leaving you less satisfied and causing you to eat more. The extra calories you eat get deposited as fat. So next time you shop, scan labels and trade packaged foods with high fructose corn syrup for ones with healthy fats and fiber.

    7. Snap your snack. Take a photo of everything you eat for five days and chances are, you will consume fewer snacks and less likely to go back for seconds.

  • UNDERSTANDING YOUR LOVED ONES PERSONALITY
    Understanding the personality of our loved ones can help us dal with them better. Knowing your loved one's dominant predisposition can help you relate and communicate with them more effectively. There are many different ways to determine an individual personality. Hippocrates identified 4 major personality types: Choleric, Sanguine, Phlegmatic and Melancholy.

    Cholerics are dynamic and active people who are born leaders. They have a compulsive need for change and feel they must correct wrongs. They are strong willed and decisive and are not easily discouraged. They are also independent and self sufficient.

    Sanguine people are messy but energetic, optimistic and cheerful. They're enthusiastic when starting something but usually quit before they're done. They live in the present and have a good sense of humor.

    Phlegmatic have low key personalities and are laid back. They are detailed oriented people who are calm, cool and collected. They can be precise to a fault(nit picky perfectionist) and somewhat boring.

    Melancholy people are the genius prone. They are analytical, artistic or musical, philosophical and poetic. Because they live to the extreme, some would call them moody.

    It'll take a little effort to see life from the standpoint of your loved one, but being able to relate better is worth it.

  • TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
    Are you having problems with high blood pressure? It will do you good if you cut down on sodium. Studies shows that while 2,400 mg is the recommended daily intake of sodium, those who eat less than 1,500 mg a day had improved blood pressure.

    Here are some tips to improve your blood pressure:

    • Most of your sodium intake comes in the form of table salt(sodium chloride). Salt can come in other forms like sodium benzoate or sodium citrate. Read food labels and choose those that contain less salt.
    • Add little or no salt when cooking your food. Also, avoid adding salt to food served on your table.
    • Use herbs and spices to season your food. Onions, garlic, parsley, lemon and lime juice and rind, basil, tarragon, marjoram, thyme, curry powder, cumin, paprika, vinegar, celery, red pepper, yellow pepper, green pepper and wine are just some things you can add to enhance the flavor and aroma of foods.
    • Choose fresh foods over canned or packaged foods as much as possible.

  • 5 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR METABOLISM
    Metabolism, involves a complex network of hormones and enzymes that not only convert food into fuel but also affect how efficiently you burn that fuel.

    The process of metabolism establishes the rate at which we burn our calories and, ultimately, how quickly we gain weight or how easily we lose it. Of course, not everyone burns calories at the same rate.

    So here are 5 easy ways to improve your metabolism:

    1. Do not skip breakfast. The morning meal jump-starts you metabolism and helps to prevent binging later in the day. Breakfast should include complex carbohydrates like whole grain(granola or oatmeal) with protein and fat(low fat milk or yogurt).

    2. Eat more often. Get into the habit of eating every three or four hours, or at least four times a day. Eating frequently stabilizes blood sugar. When you go many hours without eating, the body tends to slow the effect of energy and causes difficulty maintaining your weight loss.

    3. Eat protein at every meal. Protein helps reduce your appetite. It takes mote time and energy to digest. Research shows that eating more protein can help you loose weight without cutting calories. Try these protein possibilities: chicken fillet on whole wheat pita, vegetarian pasta or pizza, fruits and nuts, or protein bar that contain 12 or more grams of protein.

    4. Stay away from snacks. Many of us take a quick snack for energy when feeling tired. But do not confuse a certain fatigue with hunger. If you are tired, walk 15-20 minutes. This will increase your heart rate and give you an energy boost. Follow with a full glass of cold water. If you're really hungry, have a protein-rich complex carbohydrates as a snack-wheat crackers with peanut butter or cheese.

    5. Consume enough for your body's needs. Eating too little slows you body's metabolism the same way if you rarely eat. If you want to lose weight, don't cut calories too drastically. Instead, cut some of the extras in food such as soft drinks, fruit juices, fresh or packaged products. Processed foods end to be high in fat and calories and low in vitamins, minerals and fiber.

  • IS HE MR. WRONG?
    Here's a nice article for ladies out their are having second thoughts about the guy they are dating. Do you have a feeling that the guy you're dating might be more of a dud then a stud? Take a look at some telltale signs.

    1. He is selfish. If the word compromise is alien to your man's consciousness, chances are he's only thinking of himself. Healthy men know how to make compromises, relationship experts say.

    2. He doesn't appreciate you. The guy you're dating should not only appreciate you but also respect you, your friends and family.

    3. He has no drive. Does your guy spend more time on gimiks with his buddies or watching TV than anything else? If he's busy doing things that don't take his life to new places, he might be a dud.

    4. He doesn't show emotion. To be in a healthy relationship, both parties need to be open and honest about their vulnerabilities - and not be afraid to show their emotions. If you find that you're giving more emotionally to the relationship than he is, it might be time to move on.

    5. He doesn't have a good relationship with his mother. If a guy's relationship with his mother is constantly strained, it's not a good sign for your relationship. He does not have to be a mama's boy but a guy - at any age - must have a loving and healthy relationship with his mother.

    6. He has no friends. Not having many friends, or having friends that are rude, is a sign that he's not easy to get along with. And men who are not easy to get along with must not impose themselves on women who seek a loving relationship.

    7. He makes you feel bad about yourself. Why would you want to be around someone who doesn't make you feel happy, successful and fulfilled? If he doesn't listen to you and constant;y puts you down, it's a sign of trouble.

    8. He's untrustworthy. if you are unable to trust your partner, you will spend countless time and energy wondering about his capacity to be honest and straightforward about your relationship.
