Healthy Protein Tips

Protein supplies the basic building blocks of life. They are the body’s main structural element. The proteins, in its original form, are too large to be absorbed through the intestines. The body breaks them down into smaller components called amino acids. The amino acids are small enough to penetrate the intestinal wall and are absorbed into the blood stream. The amino acids are used to build and maintain the body’s structure. The amino acids not used for this are used for energy.

 When you look in the mirror you are seeing protein in action. Your hair, eyes, skin, bones, heart, veins, muscles and genes that carry your personal blueprint are made of protein. While other foods are important, it is protein that actually builds your muscles.

 Protein gives your body what is necessary for growth, recovery and repair. We need protein for growth. Enough intake of protein is essential to our health. Protein is needed for:
Growth and development in child
Cell maintenance and repair
Regulation of body functions
Various tasks that fat and carbohydrates cannot do

Protein is consists of amino acids. Proteins from different types of foods contain different types of amino acids. These amino acids are used by our body to create protein that we need. Amino acids can be categorized into two broad types, non-essential amino acids and essential amino acids.

Protein Type	Food	Protein (g)
Animal Protein	Chicken breast (without skin)	42
	Ostrich / 100g	39
	Roasted lean beef /100g	32
	Cod / 175g	31
	Venison / 100g	22
	Prawn (peeled) 100g	17
Plant Protein	Soya beans / 50g	18
	Lentils / 50g	12
	Red kidney beans / 50g	11
	Baked potatoes / 225g	8
	Tofu / 100g	8
	Pasta / 50g	6

 Essential amino acids are provided from our daily diets. Our body cannot create these amino acids from other amino acids. Unlike essential amino acids, our body can make non-essential amino acids from other amino acids that we consume. The daily intake of protein can be up to 15% of the total nutrients we eat. One way to work out how much protein you need for a day is multiply your weight with 0.75 protein per day. So if you weight about 51kg, you need about 38g of protein a day. If you weight about 70kg, you need slightly more than 52g of protein a day.

Easy Gym Tips

Do Something You Enjoy 

Exercise doesn't have to mean spending hours at the gym peddling away on a stationary bike. It doesn’t mean you have to spend money on exercise gadgets you will likely never use, either. Anything you do to get your body moving is going to be better than doing nothing. Walking is an easy exercise that you can do just about anywhere, in any climate. Bike riding, dancing, gardening, weight lifting, swimming, playing a favorite sport, house cleaning and even playing in the yard with your children are just some of the ways you can add exercise into your daily routine. 

Schedule Time for Exercise 

As you would a meeting or a doctor appointment, sometimes the only way to make time to exercise is to put it on your daily schedule. We’ve all got busy lives and we’re often so busy taking care of others that we never seem to make time for ourselves. Once exercise becomes part of your daily To-Do list, you’re more likely to do it. Some people have only a certain time during the day available for exercise while others will have to vary the time each day. Some people need a nudge and for them, exercising with a friend is a good solution. Choose whichever way works best for you. Just remember to actually go and do it!

 Remember that Exercise Can Energize

 Even though you might feel too tired to exercise, give it a try anyway. You might be surprised to find how energized you feel while you’re at it and afterwards, when you’re finished. Exercise is a great stress-reliever too and if you know anything about stress, you know that it is one of the body’s biggest energy-sappers.

Don’t be Afraid to Mix it up 

Like anything that is done over and over again, exercise can become mundane. When you get bored with exercising, you’re less likely to keep at it. To keep from getting bored with your workout routine, change it. If you’re tired of walking, try cycling. If you’re into weight lifting, try alternating this with cardiovascular exercises throughout the week. Go bowling or play a game of tennis once in a while, and if you find you enjoy these t
ypes of activities, join up with a team.

Always Begin by Warming up 

Regardless of the type of exercise you choose, it is very important that you begin each session by warming up your muscles. Stretching helps prevent damage to muscle tissue and it gets your blood flowing. It gets your heart pumping, too. Just five minutes is all it takes to get your exercise session off to a good start.

Hair Loss Tips

1. Hot oil treatments: Take any natural oil - olive, coconut, canola - and heat it up so that it is warm, but not too hot. Massage it gently into your scalp. Put on a shower cap

and leave it on for an hour, then shampoo your hair. 2. Natural juices: You can rub your scalp with either garlic juice, onion juice or ginger juice. Leave it on overnight and wash it thoroughly in the morning. 3. Get a head massage: Massaging your scalp for a few minutes daily will help stimulate circulation. Good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Circulation may be improved through massage by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base. 4. Antioxidants: Apply warm green tea (two bags brewed in one cup of water) on your scalp and leave this mixture on for an hour and then rinse. Green tea contains antioxidants which prevent hair loss and boost hair growth. 5. Practice meditation: Believe it or not, most of the times, the root cause for hair loss is stress and tension. Meditation can help in reducing that and restore hormonal balance.

Healthy Dinner Tips

Every week is a constant flurry of work, cooking, cleaning, errands, and getting the kids everywhere they need to be. Busy is just, well, normal. So, with lives like this, how do we get real food on the table? The first step is to take a deep breath, exhale, and relax. Real food doesn’t mean making a five-course meal after a ten-hour day. Here, some tips to help you get healthy dinner on the table and stay sane. 1. Teach your family to love leftovers Some meals, like braised meats, lasagna, or chili actually taste better the day after you make them because the flavors develop overnight. Cook extra helpings and serve them for dinner the next night or pack them in lunch boxes; you'll not only save time and reduce food waste, but also skip a trip through the drive-thru! 2. Cook once for two meals Roast two chickens instead of one. For the first night's dinner, you have a warm, perfectly crisp bird. On the second day, you'll have cooked chicken, ready for soup, chili, and salad. Hate to eat the same thing two days in a row? Still make the extra portion and freeze them for the following week. 3. Instill weekend family time in the kitchen I love it when the whole family spends time together in the kitchen with me, prepping Sunday night dinner. Cooking is minimal during the week: I prepare most of our meals on Saturday and Sunday. Monday through Wednesday, I alternate the leftovers to make my weeknights as easy as heat and eat. Thursday nights we have a simple meal. Our book has some fantastic ideas for from-scratch dinners you can whip together in minutes—think grilled cheese with leftover roasted vegetables, nutritious wraps, and egg dishes. Frida
ys are a good night to eat out or make pizza together.

Real life wellness begins with healthy eating habits. These include changing a man’s eating habits—not his diet—to eating healthier foods such as greener, leafier vegetables and fresh fruits each day, cutting down on salt intake and cutting out starches and sweets, and drinking lots of water. Daily servings of whole grain foods help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer. Switch from high fat to low fat diet—regular milk to skim milk and regular cheese to light cheese.

Start out slowly and try to progress each week from moderate to vigorous.

Summer makeup tips

Before starting the makeup process, apply an ice cube on the clean face as this clogs the pores and the skin becomes more matte. If you have a mixed or oily skin, apply a gel-cream or a moisturizing lotion in order to prevent the sebum outbreak.

Say no to foundation. When it comes to foundation, specialists say that it is better to avoid it during summer. Therefore, you should avoid applying foundation and go only for some blush in order to emphasize your cheekbones. Still, if you really need foundation, choose a moisturizing, matte one.

Powder. For a more natural look, you can successfully replace foundation with powder. Even though powder is not strongly recommended either, if you still decide to use it, choose it in a light, smooth texture and colors such as golden-brown, raspberry pink, dark red or a darker pink.

Bronze powder. Always avoid applying bronze powder just after applying moisturizing cream. This will make the process much more difficult. Therefore, your skin should be dry. Apply it along the forehead, Nose Bridge, cheeks, a bit on the chin and neck.

Blush. For a more natural, daytime makeup use creamy and smooth, fluid textures, rather transparent, and warm colors. If you want a sun-kissed effect use a brush and apply some blush on the nostrils.

At the beach. Everyone knows that at the beach makeup is totally forbidden. This is not just because you cannot tan, but when you'll get out of the water you'll look rather strange and scary. Moreover, the substances in makeup products combined with sun rays can really harm your skin. Nevertheless, there are two products you can use on this occasion. First, there is the water proof mascara applied in one lightly coat. Then, there is the lip gloss in shimmery shades.

Daytime makeup. For this type of makeup, a blush is the secret weapon. However, make sure it is bronze for brunettes, and pink, coral or peachy for blondes. Blush plays the role of refreshing the skin. Use natural colors for eyeshadow such as beige, warm shades of brown, pink and orange. You can use black or brown mascara as long as you don't overload your eyelashes. Replace your eyebrow pencil by colorless mascara. Avoid lip liner and go for lip gloss and colors such as pink, beige or peach.

Shimmery makeup is appropriate for a daytime look in order to accentuate the bronze effect. If you are looking for an easy and quick makeup choose a concealed and a self-tanning balm or gel.
Balm is perfect if you want to cover red spots and it gives the illusion that nothing has been applied on the skin. It also acts as a sunscreen. If you want to accentuate the tanned effect, apply a bronze illuminating powder or a creamy blush for a fresh look. The eyeliner is essential as it intensifies the look.

Evening makeup now you are allowed to use foundation, but still try not to exaggerate. As for the makeup, choose what part you want to accentuate: the lips or the eyes. In both cases you can use mascara. For a night out with your friends, in a club, you should avoid using foundation. Use the powder instead and take it with you if you feel like refreshing your makeup. For the eyes you can choose metallics and a holographic lip gloss for your lips. Make sure all makeup products that you choose are transfer resistant.

Femme fatale. If for a casual, daytime makeup it is advisable not to exaggerate with your makeup, for an evening makeup you can dare more and play with colors. You can accentuate the eyes using false eyelashes and shimmery eyeshadow. Moreover for a “femme fatale” look, you can use a black eyeliner and iridescent eyeshadow to brighten up your look

Important Healthy Tips

When you are in the process of losing weight, your body is eating away at your largest fat deposits, so it is important to know how to flush fat out of your system. This is not only important for ridding your body of roaming fat cells, but also for removing the toxins that have embedded themselves within these deposits. By consciously adding a daily flush regiment to your diet, you can accelerate your weight loss.

1. Water
Even though bathroom visits may increase, the result of maintaining a continued flow of water intake will be worth it. If you can consume water at room temperature it will enable you to drink more without constantly shocking your system into warming it. Our bodies are approximately 75 percent water, so it’s no wonder that this is the best method for flushing out fat. Interestingly, obese and elderly bodies have as little as 40 percent water.

2. Soybeans

This protein rich legume contains lecithin and choline, which have been proven to maintain a healthy metabolism and block fat absorption by cells. This is an essential combination because it enables the body to continue a metabolic burn, while flushing fat due to its inability to properly absorb. Soybeans can be found in many products, but the less refined, non-GMO (genetically modified organism) they are, the more advantageous they will be. Look for organic edamame, tempeh and tofu.

3. Fruits

Fruit is nature’s street sweeper for the body. It contains plenty of water and is full of key nutrients including fiber and vitamin C. These two ingredients work hand in hand. The vitamin C accelerates fat burning properties and the fiber sweeps the fat out of your system. Many diets that claim to flush fat recommend citrus fruits for an optimal cleanse. Oranges, grapefruits and tangerines are easy to transport and can give you an energy lift in the middle of the day. Eat fruit for breakfast as well as a lunch or evening snack. Be sure and try not to mix too many kinds, and to eat bananas last to avoid indigestion.

4. Vegetables

It is no surprise that vegetables are right up there with fruit. Vegetables also contain high water content and offer a large variety of vitamins, minerals and fiber, enhancing the excretion of roaming fat molecules. Eat them raw when you can and do not overcook. Vegetables are most beneficial when they still have their ’snap.’

5. Tea: Green – Yerba Mate’ – Lemon Cleanse Mixture

Green tea and yerba mate’ contain properties such as theobromine, catechin polyphenols and botanical caffeine which are highly effective in expelling fat. The combination of the caffeine and theobromine offers a slow, energetic metabolic boost which in turn can burn and flush away fat deposits. The catechin polyphenols thwart fat buildup and reduce bad cholesterol. There is also a lemon tea cleanse which is high in zinc and potassium, removes fat accumulation and increases circulation.
It is a mixture of:
7 oz. boiling water
2 tablespoons of grade B maple syrup
1 lemon
2 to 3 dashes of cayenne pepper
Squeeze lemon into boiling water, add maple syrup and pepper. Two servings.

Healthy cooking tips

Partially freeze meat to make slicing into thin strips easier. This is ideal for Oriental meals like Chinese dishes or Thai dishes. By partially freezing meat ingredients, slicing is cleaner and the fibers do not stretch and tear as easily. However, be sure to allow the meat strips to thaw before cooking them, for even cooking.

Ensure that your baked fish is moist and tender by cooking "en papillote". This is a French technique that refers to fish baked in a parchment-paper packet. Place the fish and vegetables of your choice in the center of a large piece of parchment-paper. Bring the edges of the paper together, crease them tightly to form a seal, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 450 degrees. The fish and vegetables steam in the packet, keeping them moist and tender, and creating a tasty, healthy dish. (Clean-up is just as easy - simply throw away the paper after eating!)

Before you start cooking or baking make sure you have all the ingredients gathered together. This will save you time and prevent cooking mishaps. You'll have a better product in the end.

For stir fry with an authentic Chinese touch, try using their velveting technique! Prepare a mixture of corn starch, egg whites, seasonings and sherry and set your pork, chicken or shrimp in it for about half an hour. Then, blanch it in hot oil or boiling water for shiny, tender and delicious restaurant quality stir fry.

When seasoning your food, remember that it is much easier to add more seasoning if needed, but you cannot take it away if you add too much. That is why it's important to go light when seasoning with herbs and spices. You want to compliment the flavors of the food and not overpower them.

Keep a few cut up, washed, and prepared vegetables in your freezer. This will reduce your prep time when you're cooking a recipe. Onions and peppers are great to freeze. Just buy them fresh, wash and cut them when you have time, and store them in individual zip lock bags.

mells from transferring to the food you handle next.

We’ve put together a list of 10 tips and tricks that can give you that smooth and shiny hair you’ve been waiting for.

Take care of those curls: It can be hard to completely embrace your natural look, but once you ditch the straightener and any other method that damages your hair, you will notice a huge change in the health of your hair. You will start to notice less frizz and damage, and instead you’ll see shine and have smooth curls.
Condition often: Conditioner is key to get the smooth and shiny look you are looking for. Find a conditioner that your hair absolutely loves and run with it. Remember, there are many people who only wash their hair with conditioner for a reason!
Be careful with that comb: If you come out your hair, start at the bottom and work your way up. Starting at the top can cause breakage and damage which leads to frizzy hair. Many people with curly hair only finger comb their hair, but if you do use a shower comb, be careful how you use it.

Tips for hair maintenance

Less or no heat when blow drying, use a cooler setting and do not blow dry until is completely dry.
2) Use acidifiers. Acidifiers close the cuticle down and lock in moisture. Acidifiers have a pH of 2.5 to 3.5. They have a lower pH than hair does in an aqueous solution.
3) Color, perms, relaxers, and other chemicals are sometimes a necessary evil. They rob the hair of humectants. Humectants attract and retain moisture (water) in the cortical layer of the hair. Try to use low ammonia -low peroxide color. Do not leave neutralizer on too long with perms. If possible avoid relaxers.
4) Treat your hair. Replace lost humectants with essential fatty acids (lipids), acidify your hair, use low pH products, and use cool water. Replace what was taken out to make your hair dry. Also eat a diet full of essential fatty a

cids (in moderation and non-animal [no cholesterol]).

Oily Skin Treatment for mens

Wash your face three times a day using soap and hot water. Hot water is much more effective at dissolving and washing away skin oil than cold water. You can use regular bar soap or try a medicated soap, such as Neutrogena Oily Skin Formula or Clearasil soap for oily skin.
Exercise regularly to boost circulation, improve blood flow and unclog pores Contrary to what many people believe, sweating is actually healthy for the skin and can help stop oily skin and reduce the frequency of acne outbreaks.

Apply a mud or clay mask to your face several times each week. Darker masks are typically the most absorbent, but rose-colored clay may be less irritating to sensitive skin.
Use an astringent that contains acetone to help stop oily skin. In most cases, rubbing alcohol and witch hazel work just as well as expensive astringents. You can also purchase astringent pads at most pharmacies and grocery stores to carry with you when you are away from home.
Purchase only water-based cosmetics, as oil-based products can increase oil on the face. Set foundations with a light dusting of baby powder, which is more absorbent than many cosmetic powders. Powder will not stop oil production, but it can minimize the appearance of oily skin.
Stop or change the type of oral contraceptive pill you use to help stop oily skin. Hormones play a major role in oily skin, which is why oil and acne increase during puberty and pregnancy. If you are not currently using birth control pills, you can ask your doctor about the benefits and risks of using oral contraceptives to treat oily skin.
Avoid over stimulating your skin. Exfoliating too often is a common trigger of excessive oil production. Frequent or severe sunburns or constantly rubbing or picking at your skin can also cause over-stimulation. If you exfoliate, do so only once or twice each week to prevent an increase in oil production.
Try an over-the-counter or prescription medication that contains retinol to control oily skin. Use these products spa

ringly to avoid skin irritation, redness and flaking.

Tattoos Tips

It can be very difficult to select from the many tattoo designs on the spot. Even if you have already selected a design, the artist may be able to present you with several different options to make your tattoo designs even more personable.
Before arriving for the application of a tattoo, it is best to have a selection of tattoo designs in mind before you enter the parlor. Although there are some exceptions, most men and women will naturally be drawn to different tattoo designs. Men, for instance, would likely prefer something masculine, while women often prefer something dainty and sexy. Of all tattoo designs, women commonly select hearts, butterflies, flowers, lettering, etc. The most popular placement, for women, is the shoulder, lower back and ankle. Men, on the other hand, often prefer that their tattoo designs be placed on the upper arm, chest or back.
While there are tattoo designs that are gender specific, it is important to keep in mind that getting a tattoo is a very personal thing and the image that is ultimately chosen should be one that reflects something that is important to the wearer. Upon discussing the various tattoo designs with the artist, the customer will gain a better understanding of the different options and designs available.

Many individuals select tattoo designs from those presented at the parlor, while others prefer to do some research and help ensure that their design is unlike any other. For certain tattoo designs, some people prefer to look at real life photos or browse through artwork for ideas pertaining to their tattoo designs. If you find an image that you like, simply take it to the artist for an evaluation as to whether or not the image can be recreated in the form of a tattoo.
