Stay Slim Forever

One of the most depressing things about a diet is that as soon as you have taken off the weight, you gain it right back.During a diet we don't have to control only diet but we also have to change our mental attitude.
Mental attitude is directly related to appearance. When a person is fat, he hate himself,become unhappy and eat to make himself better. So to breakout this destructive cycle he must adopt a new mental attitude.
The very first step to losing weight is the acknowledgment that "You can do it".When you get up in the morning look up into the mirror and say, "Today I'm going to do better". Positive suggestion would wipe out the negativity in your subconscious.
All day you face the decisions about food.For example, after a few hours of dinner,  due to loneliness and boredom you may want to eat something.Before going to the refrigerator, stop a moment and ask yourself that do you really want this piece of cake.You must control yourself this time.
End your day with some comforting words before starting to exercise in evening. You must say yourself that weight is not going to come off over night, but eventually it will. "Tomorrow will be a better day."
Reinforce the love and respect for yourself.
You need to eat the proper balance diet. Food has been broken into four major groups: Protein,
vegetables/fruits ,milk and bread/cereal.You must take a balance amount of food from every major group.By paying attention, keeping tuned into what you are eating , and adjusting your appetite to your body's needs, you can find the perfect balance of your body.
You must also take care of timings before having a food. The later in the day you eat, the lighter you must eat. You can take heavier foods during day time because you have a chance to burn high calories.Don't buy fattening foods and always fill your fridge with vegetables like radish, carrots or cauliflower. Put some grapes in your freezer and whenever you have an urge to eat something cold and sweet ,pop in a frozen grape. You will love its sweet , refreshing sensation.
Now come to exercise, some people think that exercise is bore. But heavy hips, bulging thighs and gigantic waistlines are not  exciting alternates.
Everyone must begins with breathing exercise. First turn on some music.The music makes exercise an enjoyable activity.
Deep breathing
For deep breathing, stand up straight, shoulders back, neck tall and feet apart.Inhale through the  nose and exhale through the mouth. You are expanding your lungs and getting your heart started.
Arm Circles
With legs together and chin up, extend both arms ,tighten them and flattens the palms of your hands.Begin rotating arms clock wise and counter clockwise, first do small circles then make them bigger. During this process, inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth.
Mini Situps
Lie down on the floor. Bend your knees and spread your feet . Rest your hands at the base of your thighs, Inhale, with your back and head flat on the floor.Exhale while you slowly glide your hands all the way up to your knee caps.Keep your chin tucked into your chest. Inhale as you go down.
Mini Pushups
Get down on all fours, with your feet up , knees, hands and feet spread about two feet apart. Make sure your head,neck, back and bottom are on the same angle.This position releases any pressure from your back. Your arm and your chest will be doing all the work.
Inhale in the up position and exhale when you slowly lower your body. Inhale and come up until your elbows are straight again.
Tootsie Rolls
Sit up straight, legs together tight, and extend your arms out.Now all you have to do is lift up your rear, one side at a time, and rock from side to side.Inhale while lifting the right side and exhale while lifting the left side.Remember to lock those legs, lift your rear as high as you can, and make sure your stomach is held in.
These simple stretches have activated your whole body. When you begin your morning with this ritually you'll be in total control.
 Mental attitude, control of diet and exercise, all will work  together.Do not give up and don't ignore. You must also understand that you will be exercising for the rest of your life.You are never finished taking care of yourself, and that's as it should be.

Common makeup mistakes

Makeup is one of main requirement in modern time. Women feel themselves incomplete without makeup. No doubt make up is an art . You can look attractive if you have applied the makeup in an expert way , on the other hand you look awful if you ignore your complexion, type of skin, face features, dress, demand of occasion before applying it.
As we choose colors and dresses according to the weather,we must also choose our makeup colors by watching the weather conditions. Here i am mentioning some of the common mistakes women make while having a make over.

1- Cleansing and Moisturizing
Have you noticed white or oily spots on your face after using foundation and face powder, the main reason behind this is, you are not paying attention on regular cleansing and moisturising of your face.
Women should cleans their face for at least two times in a week with a quality cleanser.It would remove all the dirt from your face.
Usage of moisturizer is also very beneficial because it remove all the effect of dryness. PH balanced face wash also plays an important role for enhancing the skin freshness and natural glow.


2-Use concealer carefully

Every skin has some problems. There are few lucky women that have no such problems.Women want to hide the scars or blemishes with the help of dark makeup that can be harmful.
The better solution for this is usage of concealer. Before choosing a concealer you must check its color.You must pay attention if  it is matching your skin tone or not.Use your finger to spread it on the spot. Use a mirror while you do this.

3- Overuse of glitter in your makeup

If you use an excessive amount of glitter in your makeup, that would give a bad effect on your personality. It will not only snatch the freshness of your skin but also it will give you a weird look. Always use it in a balanced amount.

4- Golden and Silver shades both at a time

Usage of golden and silver shades both at a time can never give a decent and natural look to your makeup. Always use one of those at one time, silver shade enhances the beauty of fair skin where as the golden shade refreshes your wheat complexion.

5-Lipstick and Lip liner

Lipstick is the main part of makeup. Use lip liners of neutral shade and merge it with lipstick.

Most of all if you are going on a party, dont apply makeup in hurry. Always take time and give proper attention for this task.Remove the makeup well before going to sleep.

Some kids do not like drinking milk so the mothers can give then other dairy products to meet their calcium needs like yogurt or custard or any fruit shake.
If your age is between nine to eighteen years old you need 1300 mg of calcium daily because the growth of bones are faster in this age interval. Instead of milk you can take green leaves vegetables as a source of calcium but the better and easy  source is milk..
Acidity and the burning of chest can be cured with the help of milk because the milk has the ingredients that make Alkali and for which the stomach has to use acid in it, to digest it.That is how the acidity of the stomach is cured with the help of milk.

Patient can suffer if the right ailment is not diagnosed and treated in time.Especially in case of cancer, hepatitis and heart diseases, if the sickness is not diagnosed in time. It can make the situation worse.Its unfortunate that many patients came to know about their sickness very late and the doctors let them know that they have very less days of life left.
Unluckily we have very less trained medical staff as compared to the patients in our country.As a result a doctor has to cure many patients. The situation is almost same in clinics and hospitals.That's how the chances of mistake by the medical staff increases.
According to the experts, people must be very careful about choosing the right doctor. Before consulting a doctor, consider the following points and then decide that whether to go to him or not.

1-Does the doctor have the right degree? 

You must know that the doctor to which you are going has the degree or he is a quack.People must beware of this fact that the quackery in our country is increasing with each day.You have the complete right to know his registration number.In our country most people are illiterate and do not pay attention to doctor's qualification and then regret afterwards.

2-Doctor's experience

There is no doubt  that the experienced doctor is more reliable then an inexperienced. At second step we must know that whether the doctor is experienced or not.Experienced and specialised doctor can save their patients from complications.

 3-Communication with the doctor

 Doctors and patients must coordinate with each other and patient should trust his doctor.The devoted and sincere doctors must ask the family history of the patient, diet habits, daily routine and many other questions to diagnose the ailment in a better way.Doctor should not hide any fact about you about your sickness. And if he is unable to diagnose the ailment , he must admit it and recommend another doctor.Often the ladies prefer lady doctor to consult for their problems because the females feel it more comfortable to discuss their problems with a lady doctor.
