So I need to drink this Kangen Water to avoid dehydration and degeneration of my cells and tissues.

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT 10

2012-07-31T03:30:00.000-07:00

9:30 to 11 PM: Go to sleep.

Crawl under the covers at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning, even on weekends. Having a regular sleep-and-wake schedule helps you fall asleep faster over time.

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT 9

2012-07-31T03:26:00.001-07:00

9 to 9:30 PM: Have a presleep snack.

Enjoy a carb-based bedtime snack, such as a serving of low-fat frozen yogurt. Nighttime carbs create tryptophan, which helps your brain produce serotonin. This feel-good chemical triggers your body to make melatonin, the sleep hormone.

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT 8

2012-07-31T03:23:00.000-07:00

5 to 7 PM: Time to dine.

To ensure you don't wake up hungry in the middle of the night, add a serving of healthy fats, such as flaxseed or fish oil, to your meal. If you're a wine drinker, pour a glass now. Drinking later can delay dream (REM) sleep, waking you frequently during the night.

4 to 8 PM: Trim and tone.
Now's the time to do your strength training, plus any additional cardio. This is when your body temperature is highest, so you're primed for peak performance. In one study, subjects who worked out in the late afternoon or early evening built 22% more muscle than morning exercisers.

12 to 1 PM: Have your midday meal.
Galanin, another hunger hormone that makes you crave fat, rises around lunchtime. However, dietary fat causes you to produce more galanin, which then tells you to eat more fat. Instead, fill up with complex carbs and protein, such as chicken-vegetable soup or black bean chili.

7 to 9 AM: Eat breakfast.
The alarm clock also wakes up ghrelin, the "feed me" hormone made in your stomach. Ignore ghrelin and your body will produce even more, eventually making you ravenous. To suppress ghrelin's effect, eat a mix of complex carbs and protein, such as eggs and whole grain toast, within an hour of waking.

Slathering chemicals on your skin
Putting harmful chemicals on your body can be just as dangerous as putting them into your mouth. "We absorb chemicals through our skin, so your makeup and skincare products should be clean," says Tivichi. "Today we have a choice about buying products that are full of chemicals or that are organic and made with natural ingredients." Apart from checking labels to ensure your products are phthalate and paraben-free, you can find out if your favorite products contain harmful ingredients by checking out the Environmental Working Group's database.

5 Bizarre Weight Loss Tricks that Work

1. Sniff a Banana, Apple, or Peppermint

You might feel silly, but it works. When Dr Alan R. Hirsch of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago tried this with 3,000 volunteers, he found that the more frequently people sniffed, the less hungry they were and the more weight they lost - an average of 30 lb each. One theory is that sniffing the food tricks the brain into thinking you're actually eating it. - Five Minute Fixes

2. Hang a Mirror Opposite Your Seat at the Table

One study found that eating in front of mirrors slashed the amount people ate by nearly one-third. Seems having to look yourself in the eye reflects back some of your own inner standards and goals, and reminds you of why you're trying to lose weight in the first place. - Five Minute Fixes

3. Surround Yourself with Blue

There's a good reason you won't see many fast-food restaurants decorated in blue: Believe it or not, the color blue functions as an appetite suppressant. So serve up dinner on blue plates, dress in blue while you eat, and cover your table with a blue tablecloth. Conversely, avoid red, yellow, and orange in your dining areas. Studies find they encourage eating.- Five Minute - Five Minute Fixes

4. Shoot Your Food

Rather than writing down every morsel, take a picture of it, and file the photos on your phone or computer by date. A visual account of your consumption may help you curb your intake. "Snapping photos and then looking back at them can make people stop and think before indulging," nutritionist Joan Salge Blake says. It needn't be a big production: your cell phone will do. Think about it: there you are at the salad bar, making a plate of vegetables. Don't pat yourself on the back quite yet, though. A simple snapshot of your heaping dish may "show your extra helping of cheese or deep-fried croutons," Joan cautions. A visual reminder might be just enough to give you pause next time before you ladle on the blue cheese dressing.

5. Tie Yourself Up

You could try fitness guru Valerie Orsoni's "Le Petit Secret": "A number of French women wear a ribbon around their waist and underneath their clothes when they go out for dinner. It keeps them conscious of the tummy-particularly if the ribbon starts to feel tighter as the evening goes on!"

This number 5 has been my trick since I was a child to maintain a smaller waistline. Now, you know my secret.

Number in my list is CAMOTES or sweet potatoes obviously for so many reasons.

In addition to the benefits I wrote on the photo, Camotes are easy to prepare. In my case, I just boil them to avoid artificial sweeteners and oil.

Their natural sugars are slowly released into the bloodstream.

Yellow or orange camotes help strengthen our eyesight and boost our immunity to diseases.

Sweet potatoes are powerful antioxidants.

They help ward off cancer and protect me against the effects of aging.

HOW TO HAVE FLAT ABS AND A BEAUTIFUL VOICE?

2012-03-07T23:34:00.000-08:00

These pictures show my favorite workout movements that help me maintain my flat abs. I need my abs to be stronger so I can sing songs of praises to my Father in Heaven with a pleasing voice. Through these movements, I am able to keep smooth breathing when I am singing. I can project my voice very well.

Thanks to my Father for giving me strength to do these twice or thrice a week.

You can also do the same moves so you can have flat abs and can also possess a lovely voice. There are many good effects these exercises can give you. You can discover them by yourself.

HOW TO BECOME HEALTHY DESPITE THE DEGENERATIVE DISEASES IN YOU?

2012-01-16T09:21:00.001-08:00

I was a blue baby. Now, I'm a blue woman. Oftentimes, I have mild heart attacks due to tiredness and over fatigue. Before, I couldn't accept that I am sickly. I often asked my GOD the "why" questions.

But as I went on and passed through the stages of my life, I realized that a Congenital Heart Disease and an acute renal failure are not hindrances or snags for me to succeed or to do whatever I want to do or to achieve whatever I plan to fulfill.

All through the years, over grief and strife, I came to understand that my sicknesses are GOD's blessings. Because of my physical deficiencies, I became much closer to the Almighty Father. I moved closer to HIS side because I knew, NO ONE CAN GIVE ME STRENGTH AND LIFE. I owe my vigor and longevity to the TRUE LIVING GOD, the CREATOR of the universe.

In 2003 during the darkest moments of my life, when I was ''vegetable'', I GOT RID OF MEDICINES, DRUGS, AND DOCTORS. I REFUSED ANY MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE MY FAMILY AS POOR AS WE WERE BEFORE when we were still kids IF I WOULD DIE THAT YEAR. Since Dr. Ong, a nephrologist, told me that I ONLY had 50/50 chance of surviving even if I underwent dialyses and surgeries, I declined to undergo any operations. Operations because Dr. Ong told me to undergo first the operation for the myoma that I still have in my uterus right now, then the next operation would be for the multiple stones in my ureter, and the last operation could be for the surgical incision of my kidney.

Since I know that myoma is a benign tumor, I was not bothered of removing it inside my body. I knew I wouldn't die having myoma inside my uterus.

And since I didn't want my family, my brothers and sisters to suffer what we suffered before when we were still kids, we were very, very, very, very, very, very poor: our poverty was raised to 1000 exponential power, I REFUSED TO UNDERGO ANY OF THESE SURGERIES RECOMMENDED BY DR. ONG, A NEPHROLOGIST assigned to treat me at the New Era General Hospital in Quezon City, Philippines.

Because of that ordeal, the heaviest ordeal, I learned to COMPLETELY TRUST MY LIFE TO THE ALMIGHTY. I SURVIVED THAT SITUATION WITHOUT ANY MEDICAL HELP. IN FACT, I started walking a little better in December 2009. And as I re-learned how to walk properly, I STARTED ATTENDING THE CHOIR PRACTICES. And now, I am back to the choir loft singing praises to MY ALMIGHTY FATHER FOR HEALING ME, FOR TREATING ME, and FOR GIVING ME BACK MY LIFE.

I HAVE BEEN SICK BUT I AM HEALTHY. I have a good judgment. I have a right disposition. I have a bright and firm conviction. And my faith in GOD has been strengthened because of tribulations, difficulties, and ordeals in life. I know what is right. I know what is wrong.

I know what the truth is. And the truth is the WORDS OF GOD WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE. I just followed them, that's why I AM HEALTHY and still alive though I AM SICK. And because of the MIRACLES of GOD in my life by means of FOLLOWING HIS WORDS and COMMANDMENTS, I WILL NEVER DEFY MY GOD'S WILL! I WILL OBEY HIM TILL MY LAST BREATH. THIS IS HOW I BECOME HEALTHY DESPITE HAVING A MYOMA, A CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE, AN ACUTE RENAL FAILURE, AND SEVERE FOOD ALLERGIES.
