How To Lose Fat Naturally

Our urban lifestyle often leaves us with unhealthy body fat and losing it is one of the strongest concerns today. There are many ways of losing fat fast such as using fat burners like Leptovox, but losing it fast might be unhealthy for your body, and it's not certain you will be able to maintain the loss. However, if you go through organic dieting then it will be safer for you and the loss of fat will last longer because your body will have more time for the fat burning process.

Here are some tips for a natural weight loss:

Lessen the white carbs in your diet!
White carbs are highly-processed carbohydrate rich foods. These would include anything made with refined flour and/or refined sugars. The most common examples are breads, cereals, and pastas. Other common foods to avoid are white potatoes and white rice. Obviously avoid all non-diet sodas/soft drinks and candies.

Eat more lean proteins, veggies, beans/legumes and "good" fats.
Maintaining one's energy level while on a diet is essential to losing fat. Try eating small balanced meals containing protein, fresh or frozen vegetables, beans/legumes, and healthy fats several times per day. This lessens your calorie-rich food intake while providing your body enough nutrition to get through the day. It's very important to not starve your self!

Good protein choices include just about any lean meat, fish, eggs, egg substitutes, and low-fat/low-sugar dairy products. Fresh or frozen veggies, beans and legumes, and small amounts of fresh fruit are the best carbohydrates sources when you're trying to lose weight. While good "fats" can be sourced from nuts, seeds, avocados, olives, olive oil, coconut oil, and fish oil.

Shorter, more intense workouts with strength and cardio training will help you lose fat more!
Interval training, hill running, wind sprints, and fast swimming are better than jogging, bike riding, walking and other forms of low-intensity exercise in helping you lose fat.

Make a few changes in your lifestyle
- Sleeping at least 7-8 hours per night - Studies have even shown that people who are chronically tired tend to have slower metabolisms and store more of their body fat in their bellies than people who get enough sleep.
- Limiting your alcohol intake - Consuming alcoholic beverages (including beer, wine, and liquor) slows down your body's natural fat burning processes due to the way alcohol affects the liver.
- Reduce stress levels - People who have chronically elevated stress levels tend to produce certain hormones -- such as cortisol -- that make it extremely difficult to lose abdominal fat. Learning how to minimize your stress will do a lot of good things besides help you lose weight (e.g. boost your energy levels, reduce your risk of developing certain health problems, etc).

Following these tips won't hurt much. Who knows? They might be effective in helping you lose body fat.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

A sample of sulfur (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Despite its acrid smell, a bar of sulfur soap brings many health benefits to your skin through its antiseptic, anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities. In olden times, individuals had to take a dip in sulfur-rich hot springs located at a distance from an active volcano. Spas often appeared around these areas to provide patrons privacy and comfort while they visited the pools of heated water and sulfur. Many people frequented these places because the hot water therapy soothed their aching muscles and the sulfur healed their skin problems, such as acne vulgaris, whiteheads, blackheads, eczema, rosacea, scabies, and seborrheic dermatitis. Now, sulfur's cleansing properties are packaged neatly in soap bars. The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme...

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti...

A brief vacation

I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
