Sadly, non of those experiments worked( and I did get a tremendous whacking for the breakage of the bottles) but I did manage to get educated about the science of aromatherapy when I grew up. Aroma therapy deals with the fragrances of perfumed oils to soothe or even treat-the human body and mind.

And all of you must have felt the effect.Isn’t the scent of a warm cup of coffee oh so relaxing on a tired and wintry morning?

Basically essential oils are highly purified natural plant extracts.which form the life-blood of the plant, protecting it from any type of infections, cleansing injuries and delivering oxygen and nutrients into the cells as well as boosting and protecting the plant.These purified oils are also used to promote overall health, vitality, and longevity.They can also support and tune up immune, respiratory, circulatory, endocrine, digestive, nervous, and other body systems.

Although these essential oils are readily available there is no regulatory authority to control the oil formation and distribution. Very little can be done to prevent mislabeling, misrepresentation and adulteration. You have to very careful or people can suffer from reactions like dermatitis to diarrhea to fever from the contaminated essential oils.

• Red wine is a great antioxidant with the best protection against cardiovascular disease, tooth decay, and wrinkles. According to a 40- year-old Dutch scientific study wine drinkers are more likely to live longer as compared to non-drinkers.
• Opt for fish. Oily fish like mackerels and salmon contain a larger amount of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids which plump up the skin making it smoother and healthier. They may also reduce the chances of Alzheimer’s disease, increase the IQ of children, and protect the cardiovascular system.
• Drop some kilos with constant exercise. Even 30-mins of brisk walking is sufficient to keep the body fit and healthy.
• Eat a lot of oatmeal. Oats contain an important material called as beta glucan which boosts the immune system. There are also a group of complex carbohydrates which don’t cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels. Oatmeal acts like a sponge scrubbing away the excess cholesterol present in your blood.
• Eat a balanced diet of fresh fruits and vegetables. And try to eat brightly colored veggies which are rich in healthy fiber, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.
• Pop a few supplements. No one, no matter how experienced, can really eat a balanced diet. So try to pop a few multivitamin capsules or extra supplements to keep your requirements fulfilled.

Finally try to be more optimistic. There’s nothing more off putting to others than a negative attitude.

So when a close friend of mine started raving about the negative-calorie foods diet, I wasn’t really impressed.

Been there, done that, didn’t work, was my attitude.

But imagine my surprise, when she actually managed to stick to the negative calorie foods diet and lose weight in the bargain. I thought, its time to take a peek at this. A diet which promises to allow you to eat unlimited amounts of selected food so that you can lose weight while eating only those foods, sounded boring. But anything to lose a few pounds!

I did do a little research and here’s what I found,

All foods have calories and they have to be broken down to provide energy to the human body. No food is actually without calories. But according to nutritionists a few foods have calories so tightly tied up that the body expends more calories then the food actually contains to break down the food. So the energy used by the body to digest the negative calorie food is more energy than the food actually contains! The logic being, more the food you eat, more energy utilized by the body and concurrently more weight loss by burning calories.
