12 Ways To Be Healthier For A Better Life
By Staff Writer

Want to lose weight, sleep better, and boost your immune system?

1. Have a lie down

Back pain can be avoided and the damage repaired with one easy exercise, which is lie down on the floor with your knees bent, hip width apart, feet on the floor. Do this daily for about five to fifteen minutes to release and lengthen your spine.

2. Note your nibbles

Crash diets don't work for long enough; instead maintain a food diary to note your daily eating habits. With this, you'll be conscious of what you eat, and make healthier choices.

3. 10 deep breaths

Our breath power our lymphatic system, which removes waste from cells. By taking 10 deep breaths, three times a day, you'll clear more toxins and boost your thinking power by getting 20% more oxygen to your brain.

4. Put your fork down

Put your fork down between every mouthful of food, it makes you chew your food properly, preventing digestive problems, and also prevents you from over- eating.

5. Make a list

The most effective stress buster is to make a list. Your short-term memory can only remember, on an average, seven things. So when you overload it, your stress level escalates. Making a list clears out all the stress from your brain you feel tension free. This saves you from headaches, depression, and high blood pressure.

6. Massage your feet

Poor circulation could be robbing you of much needed sleep. Your temperature needs to drop slightly before you fall asleep, so your body dispels heat via your face, hands, and feet. But many women have poor circulation, which constricts the blood vessels in their hands and feet and prevents them from dispelling heat. A hot bath before sleeping or a hand and foot massage will increase your circulation.

7. An organic apple a day

If you buy one organic item a day, make it an apple. Research found that pesticide residues in 71% of apples- the highest in fruits and vegetables.

8. Change your tea bag

When it comes to tea white is the new green. White tea comes from the same plant as green and black but is harvested earlier and undergoes less processing, which means it contains more cancer fighting anti- oxidants.

9. Eat dried apricots

The most common nutritional deficiency is iron. Tiredness, irritability, and lack of concentration. Prevent it by having two helpings of lean red meat a week, or three dried apricots a day.

10. Stop skipping meals

Eating three meals a day is very important for a healthy body. It's the simplest way to balance blood sugar levels, which will keep your mood, energy and concentrations balanced and strengthen your stress tolerance.

11. Keep it crunchy

Include some raw vegetables in every meal. Many of the vitamins and minerals are in vegetables are lost through cooking, so raw food is as good as it gets.

12. Focus on your feeling

Take two minutes to boost your resolve to do walk, jog or aerobics class. The instant gratification of that exercise high is far more motivating than the promise of thinner thighs two months down the line.

What is Hoodia and how does it Work For Weight Loss?
By Robert Kokoska

In older times, it was malnutrition and infectious diseases that led to death. But now it is obesity and global feasting that kills human beings. From the time of Hippocrates, obesity was not only considered a medical disorder but as a harbinger of many other diseases. It is reported that Indian surgeon Sustrutha (6th century BC) related obesity to diabetes and heart disorder and recommended physical exercises as a remedy for this. The sedentary lifestyle and the fat laden fast food culture to which we are slaves are the real cause of obesity. Now scientists have come up with solutions to burn those extra calories.

Hoodia, a flowering plant popularly known as "Bushman's hat" and "Queen of the Namibia" is a small cactus like plant belonging to the Apocynaceae family. These succulent plants or fat plants are also known as cactiform due to their semblance with cactus.

Who is to blame if the waistline expands when there is a global feast around? With junk food marketing thriving, throwing health hazards to millions even the most resolute can fall prey. At this juncture hoodia appetite suppressants come as a boon. Of all the Hoodia species, it is the Gordonni that has the property to burn fat.

Hoodia is natural and has no known side effects. Hoodia gives the brain the impression that the stomach is full, restricting further intake of food. Hoodia, the natural enhancer of mood has several takers these days as it helps you to shed those extra pounds with out overeating.

Hoodia comes in the form of tea, gums, pops, and pills. Hoodia tea, rendered time tested, burns fat and increases body metabolism and restricts calories from converting to fat. Had Oscar Wilde drank this tea he would have thought twice before saying "I can resist everything except temptation" for this Hoodia tea controls even temptation - the temptation to eat more. How about licking away your expanded waistline? Sounds great! No, I'm not kidding. Hoodia pops are all you could ask for - a sweet candy to curb your appetite. The unpleasant smell and bitter taste is a past story as Hoodia pops are sweet and taste yummy.

A natural dietary supplement with no side effects to burn off the extra calories? That's Hoodia for you. An herbal diet pill that can effectively control those late night hunger pangs. It differs from other pills as it functions in a different way. While other pills cater to weight loss by mainly increasing the metabolic rate, Hoodia works by suppressing your hunger. Hence, it is free from side effects like the shakes and cardiovascular disorders. When you are on Hoodia, your blood sugar level remains the same but the hypothalamus in your brain that senses blood sugar sends the message to your brain that you are full even when you have not touched food.

From the Dark Continent comes a solution for the menace that grips the west - the menace of obesity. Hoodia, which kept the native Bushmen hunger free in their long journeys in the Kalahari Desert, has come to the aid of people who fight hard to keep their weight under control. It is clinically tested and proven that Hoodia supplements can considerably reduce food.
