6 Ways Drinking Warm Water Can Heal Your Body

No comments :
Most of us start our mornings with a fresh, hot cup of coffee or tea to warm our bodies after getting out of bed. When we drink water, we tend to prefer it cold, but according to Ayurvedic medicine, we have it all wrong. Regularly drinking very warm water, especially in the morning, can heal our bodies, providing digestive power and reducing metabolic waste that could have built up in our immune system.

“Physicians recommend drinking warm water in the morning, usually, with a polyphenol-rich lemon immersion, or with a tea shown to decrease free radical activity in the body,” Stella Metsovas, clinical nutritionist and media health expert in Food and Nutrition Sciences, told Medical Daily. The consumption of warm water increases the tightening of the intestines, which optimizes elimination. Unlike hot water, processed cold water is devoid of many essential minerals that could become very unfavorable to the digestive tract when consuming a meal. For cold water drinkers, Metsovas recommends refraining from drinking 20 minutes before eating — even if the source is natural spring water.

Watermelon Pizza with Passionfruit Yoghurt

No comments :
When you have just faced a 35 degree day and you are staring down the barrel of a week of mid-high 30′s, watermelon and air conditioning are two of your best friends. In all honesty, when it is that hot I don’t really feel like eating much (okay, that doesn’t stop me though!). I could easily survive on a few salads and fresh, cold fruit… my favourite being anything tropical.

I originally created this in honour of returning to work. I was trying to think of some healthy, back to school afternoon, post school snacks. I remember the days that my cousins and I would all file through the door of Grandma’s, my aunty’s or my house. There would be a wide selection to choose from- fruit, cakes, biscuits or warm pikelets, pancakes and like all good Hungarian grandmas… Frankfurts in winter with our own little coloured forks. One for each of us… mine was pink and I wonder whatever happened to that…


Sit-Ups Are The Best Way To A Flat Tummy

No comments :

FACT : Firstly, lots of sit-ups or crunches alone won't tone a flabby belly - you need to combine any exercise with an overall weight-loss programme: eat a balanced diet and take regular varied exercise. Exercise does not have the ability to change the size of an organ.

 However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t exercise to help shrink your waist line, since performing abdominal exercises can help tighten the muscles in the abdomen. Plus, being active will help burn off the layers of fat that accumulate on the outside of your body, as well as the internal fat layers that you can’t see.

Sit-ups target the most superficial 'six-pack' core muscles, but too many of these will cause the tummy to bulge out, leading to a pot belly.

If you perform a dynamic movement such as a walking lunge while rotating the top half of your body at the same time, you target all the abdominal muscles as well as other large muscle groups that burn more calories and body fat - it is these kinds of moves that will help give you the tummy of your dreams.

Sports and exercise that are great for this include yoga, Pilates and even golf. Many dancers and gymnasts have fantastic flat midriffs due to the varied movements that they perform, rather than as a result of sit-ups.

Castor Oil is the Best For Thickening and Regrowing Hair

No comments :
Historically, castor oil was used as an oral laxative. However, today castor oil  is mostly recommended and used as a topical application. It’s an effective and cheap remedy for many ailments. Castor oil has been used for many practical applications. The textile industry in Russia uses the stem of the plant.

The plant from which castor oil is extracted, Ricinus communis is native to India. Along with amazing health benefits, the plant itself is known for being one of the most toxic plants on earth. Any way, castor oil is not toxic – there is nothing to worry about. When castor oil is extracted,  the toxic part is left behind in the pulp of the seeds.


Prenatal Workouts

No comments :

Pregnancy can be pretty exhausting (more so than I realized!), but I’ve been determined to keep some movement in my life for these nine special months. It’s not always easy, but I imagine it would be even more difficult trying to get back into an exercise routine after the baby arrives, if I didn’t.

In some ways, my workouts haven’t changed much. I’ve definitely cut myself some slack when it comes to sticking to any sort of schedule or time limit, but I’ve been happily surprised to find that I’m still comfortable doing the same types of workouts I was doing pre-pregnancy, with just a few modifications.
