Ten Natural Teas That Help Weight Loss

This is a guest post by Parkar Atkins of fastestwayloseweight.com
There are many people who are in search of ways to lose weight. Several ways are available to help these people in this regard such as herbal treatments, natural treatments and products. How to lose weight fast is a question that comes to the mind of lots of people.
The answer to this question is to use natural treatments. Most of the people prefer using natural treatments rather than fat loss products because of the effectiveness of the natural treatments and they do not give side effects.
Here we have some tips on how losing fat is possible using 10 different types of natural teas.
1. Green Tea: It is the best natural remedy to help you in burning extra calories. Burning extra calories with green tea is easy as it consists of high catechin polyphenols.
These elements work with other chemicals for strengthening the fat oxidation levels, where heat is created in your body by burning fuels like fat. Drinking green tea daily in the morning will increase your metabolism and as a result you can burn fat naturally.
2. Hawthorn Tea: This kind of natural tea is great for your health. Hawthorn barriers consist of antioxidants that help in reducing those extra fats. It works to lessen water retention in your body and helps you in getting rid of that fatty look.
3. Hibiscus Tea: This type of tea is an efficient natural supplement for help you in losing those extra kilos. It helps you slow down absorption of fats and carbohydrates with the help of its enzyme inhibitors. Everybody’s body produces enzyme amylase that breaks down carbohydrates as well as fats.
But, if you drink a cup of hibiscus tea, you can slow down the process and as a result your body does not absorb fats if you eat.
4. Fennel tea: You can easily reduce extra fats by drinking fennel tea as it works as an appetite suppressant. It works by suppressing your appetite therefore you cannot eat so much and as a result you lose fat. Another benefit of drinking this type of tea in terms of losing fat is it has the ability to lessen gas and make your digestion better.
5. Herbal Lemon Tea: It is an effective tea as lemon consists of antiviral and antibacterial properties that help you in fighting different diseases. Lemon tea helps your metabolism by strengthening your immune system and as a result you can reduce your weight. Drinking lemon tea is the best way to lose weight naturally. You only need to drink a cup of lemon tea every morning.

6. St Johns Wort Tea: If you get depressed and feel down you begin abusing yourselve by eating foods that make you obsessed. The benefit of drinking St Johns Wort tea is it helps you to stay away from the depression and as a result you do not eat comfort foods and fulfill the aim of looking fit by burning extra calories.
7. Ginseng Tea: Has an boosting metabolism boosting effect. It gives your metabolism a boost and consequently you can reduce your fats fast by burning more calories. Other benefits of using this type of tea are resistance to stress and increased circulation, which prevent cancer.
8. Licorice Root Tea: Is another kind of tea to help to reduce cravings and as well keep your blood sugar stable. It is naturally sweet and therefore helps stop sweet food cravings. The great benefit of drinking this tea to lose extra kilos is the ability of stopping your cravings. Another benefit is it helps your digestion.
9. Nettle Tea: Is another wonderful tea that helps to burn your extra calories. It provides you with nutrition and nearly no calories. Nettle consists of minerals and vitamins. Nettle provides you with serotonin and acetylcholine that work as natural appetite suppressants.
Hence, by drinking nettle tea you can easily curve unhealthy eating habits. It also has a diuretic effect on your immune system that makes you lose water fat.
10. Dandelion Tea: This kind of tea works best to help you to reduce your extra pounds. It helps you by boosting your metabolism. If you drink a cup of dandelion tea everyday, it prevents you from absorbing fatty acids and as a result you can lose extra pounds easily. Dandelion prohibits detoxification.

Pass the Banana

2012-03-20T11:56:00.002+08:00

Thanks for my dear friend who shared this to me...i would like to share it here for everyone.

A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas.

He said the expression 'going bananas' is from the effects of bananas on the brain.

Read on:

After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again. Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!
This is interesting.
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia : High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey.. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. InThailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood Enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.
It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe it's time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'

PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!!

FB: 10 things a girl probably doesn't know about a guy

2012-03-15T08:41:00.001+08:00

Quoted from FB:studentsmantra

10 things a girl probably doesn't know about a guy :

1. Guys are more emotional then they think, if they loved them truly.

2. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.

3. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.

4. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.

5. Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.

6. Girls are guys' weaknesses.

7. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.

8. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me."

9. No guy can handle all his problems on his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.

10. When a guy sacrifices his sleep and health just to be with you, he really likes you and wants to be with you as much as possible .. ♥

Put The Glass Down

2012-03-15T08:40:00.000+08:00

nowadays there's lots of sharing in FB that I find them quite true and interesting...so i thought of sharing here then...cos at certain times when i wanna look back, i can't track them in FB.

Quoted from Pravin Janardhanan

Put the Glass Down
When you leave office today.

A Professor began his class by holding up
a glass with some water in it.
He held it up for all to see & asked the students
“How much do you think this glass weighs?”
'50g!' ....
'100g!' ..... '125g'
..the students answered.
“I really don't know unless I weigh it,”
said the professor,
“but, my question is:
What would happen if I held it up like this
for a few minutes?”
'Nothing' …..the students said.
'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.
'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student.
“You're right, now what would happen
if I held it for a day?”
“Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis &
have to go to hospital for sure!”
… ventured another student
& all the students laughed …
“Very good, But during all this,
did the weight of the glass change?”
asked the professor.
‘No’…. Was the answer.
“Then what caused the arm ache &
the muscle stress?”
The students were puzzled.
“What should I do now to come out of pain?”
asked professor again.
‘Put the glass down!’ said one of the students.
“Exactly!” said the professor.
Life's problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head &
they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time &
they begin to ache.
Hold it even longer &
they begin to paralyze you.
You will not be able to do anything.
It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life,
but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to
‘PUT THEM DOWN’
at the end of every day before
You go to sleep.
That way, you are not stressed,
you wake up every day fresh &
strong & can handle any issue,
any challenge that comes your way!
So, When you leave office today,
Remember my friend to …
'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!
