Your body is burning calories even if you are not working out

Did you know your body is constantly burning calories, even when you're not working out? And that watching television can actually lower your metabolism?

The body converts fat into energy, to fuel its functions and the calories stored in the body provide us with this energy. The level of fat-burning depends upon the type of activity being done. You burn more calories running around than just working at a desk, like taking stairs instead of lift, walking while taking on phone...

Nonetheless, the body is like a machine which needs an inexhaustible source of energy to run. So even when you’re at rest, you’re still burning calories.

So don't be lazy bumps....even if u have a desk job or watching Tv...get up at frequent intervals for water break....gear up.....keep your metabolism going.

Lemon honey water and weight loss

Lemon honey water and weight loss

Many a times people complain I drink honey lemon water everyday but still not even a gram down

In majority of the cases, this is probably the only effort being taken by many weight-watchers to shed those extra pounds!

Warm water with lemon and honey is not a magic potion! It has its own health benefits, but it doesn't burn calories for you...

Weight loss is all about burning calories, eating right and maintaining good health. If you are not eating healthy foods or are overeating, the lemon water cannot MELT all those extra calories you have consumed...NO SHORTCUTS

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS 
Drinking water anyway helps keep kidneys healthy.

Lemon is very alkaline and helps bring the body back to an ideal balance, which is important for overall health. Plus, downing a big glass of water right after you wake up is a great way to get your digestive system moving.

Lemon gives you vitamin C, which in turn helps you to boost immunity, fight infections, fight food cravings, have supple skin, absorb calcium efficiently and much more... But don't expect this vitamin to just burn your body fat!

Honey being a form of carb, is an instant source of energy and has many health benefits. It acts as an antibacterial agent, gives you a shot of energy to start your day fresh.

Exercising regularly is the only way to burn body fat mass effectively...

Lots of vegetables, fruits, sufficient carbs and proteins with a dash of exercise - this will make a perfect potion for weight loss!

Drinking lemon water everyday will not harm you.... You could reap the health benefits of lemon and honey, but it may not help you reach your weight loss goal! It won't do any magic to that stomach paunch you've got!

Get started people.... Shed those extra pounds in the right way!

Kids nutrition - giving regular food a twist

Giving regular food a twist

Mommas dilemma .....how to keep the food healthy and interesting for their children. Kids throw a fit when they are served something they dislike.

You could always have an alternative for 'unhealthy' food, and create a healthier and nutrition-rich meal.

Try turning the boring roti and sabzi into a vegetable wrap with loads of salad leaves, tomatoes and onions for the crunchiness.

Cheese and butter are a child's weaknesses. So, how do we make it healthy? for children, any dish with a top-up of cheese is too good to resist. But, you could use paneer instead or if they just can't do without it, try the cheese made from cow's milk.

It's all about giving the regular food a twist, making it look interesting and giving your old recipes a new look. Just a few changes here and there, and you have a healthy version of fast food. So gear up all MOMS create something healthy n interesting.

Moms are the best cooks after all!

Are you tired all the time, you eat, eat, sleep and repeat, then read on

Are you tired all the time, you eat, eat, sleep and repeat, if yes then read on

Did you know that the human brain uses about 20 to 30% of a person's daily energy intake.That's why people who don't consume enough calories in their diet are more likely to experience lower motivation levels & mental alertness.

With the demands of today’s hectic lifestyles combined with too few hours of quality sleep and poor eating habits, it’s no wonder many people complain of fatigue and low energy. Nutritional deficiencies are also associated with fatigue.

Just  like the car needs the right type of fuel; don’t expect a standard car to run on diesel fuel. “Similarly  the body uses energy-yielding carbohydrates, protein, and fat in very specific ways, consuming each in proportion to the other is essential to ensure sufficient energy  to complete daily tasks, feel good, and to maintain an optimal state of health.”

Just as undereating can lead to fatigue, overeating puts the body in overdrive, channeling tremendous amounts of energy to digest and absorb the large amounts of food consumed.

How can a person feel refreshed after eating too much? It’s only natural to want to curl up and nap after a big meal; the resulting insulin overproduction can leave too little sugar available for immediate energy, resulting in lethargy.

Unfortunately, just as eating too much can lead to fatigue, fatigue can lead to eating too much, creating a vicious cycle of weight gain and decreased energy. Clients in this predicament must break the cycle by focusing on portion control, adequate sleep, and stress management.

  EAT RIGHT TO FEEL BRIGHT !!!!!!!

February is National heart month

February is National Heart Month

You’re thin, your cholesterol and blood pressure are good, and nobody in your family has ever had a heart attack – so you figure you must be safe from heart disease. New research suggests you could be dead wrong.A new study shows that a large proportion of normal weight, and apparently healthy, young people already have some thickening in their blood vessel walls.

One in Five Indians has cardiovascular disease, but not all of them are senior citizens. http://shilpsnutrilife.com/?p=5252
