Lose your cool quicker (temper)

You tend to be more impulsive which makes it easier to lose your calmness. You get overwhelmed and say things you wouldn't normally say.

Try thinking twice before responding to anything. Go for a walk. Get away from the situation. Breath deeply and slowly.

Being forgetful

When stressed its so much easier to forget things. Why is that? Because stress affects your memory. For the brain when stress increases emotions becomes stronger and memories becomes weaker. So even your brain is affected when stressed.

If you actually try thinking or changing your thoughts it may make it worse. best suggestion is to do something that helps by minimizing distractions. Thus helping you gain focus.

Slower problem solving.

Our brains respond to stress by releasing the stress hormone norepinephrine. Affecting our ability to help solve problems.

Best advice is start practicing relaxing methods, or avoid such situations that causes the stress. If you find you cant handle that its always advised to get medical help.

Negative thoughts.

This one is a very serious one. As it affects our whole outlook on life. If you find that you have recurring negative thoughts. You also know it isn't easy to change your thinking. Realize it doesn't mean you are a negative person.

When you think positive. It means that you are starting to find ways to deal with tension. If you have to. Start talking to yourself. The way you talk to yourself affects everything you do. SO why not make your thinking positive when reasoning with yourself. Be around those who are positive. Have fun. Set goals for yourself. If you love reading. Read more. If you are creative.

So be aware of posture as it helps dealing with pains. As said we tend to become vulnerable to illness when tense. Best advice would be avoid tension. But that isn't always likely.

Seven day plan for Detox

1 Start the morning with lemon juice. Squeeze the juice of one half lemon into a cup of hot water. It helps to cleanse and kick start the digestive system. Even before breakfast have a cup of lemon water.

2 Exercise. Try to exercise for an hour during this detox time. The idea is that you must sweat, pant and puff is good. Examples like jogging, walking uphill, hot yoga, boxing. When exercising vigorously lymph flow and circulation is increased. That means toxins is removed from the body by sweating.

3 Raw foods. When following a detox the idea is to eat food raw. As it is loaded with nutrients and enzymes. Food is most nutritious when it is uncooked and raw. So why not consider salads every day.

4 Drink. Try for 3 liters daily. It helps in removing toxins from the body. It cleans the kidneys. Try for spring water, Filtered water. Herbal detox teas. Vegetable juice. Or if you want you can make your own drink by mixing Dandelion root and nettle, cleavers, calendula, burdock and red clover. Add a teaspoon of these mixed herbs to boiled water in a cup. Leave for 5 minutes. Strain and drink.

5. Mind detox. Detoxing the body is good. But why not consider clearing the mind too. Meditation is a good way to clear your mind. How to meditate? Place your hand palms on your lower belly. Breath in through your nose. Slowly count to 3 or 4 counts. With every breath your tummy should rise. Breath out slowly. This will allow your tummy to drop. 15 minutes a day will be good for mind detox.

6. Brushing body. By following the body brushing technique you improve circulation. That in turn will improve skin detoxification. Use a loofah or a body brush to brush. You should use firm circular strokes before taking a shower. By starting at your feet and hands. Going upwards to your legs and arms. (Also please note to avoid any sensitive areas like throat face sore places and any type of rash. It will only make the skin feel bruised and aggravate it.) Now take that refreshing shower. But remember to end your shower with a 1 minute burst of cold water. That will improve blood circulation.

7. Chewing. When eating remember to chew every mouthful 10 to 12 times. It improves digestion. Also you will avoid overeating.

Some changes to your diet can make a great change to your (LDL) cholesterol levels. Which is called the bad cholesterol And can improve (HDL) cholesterol that is called the good cholesterol.

Oats.

Salmon and fish that is fatty.
Omega three fatty acids is a true natural wonder for the body. It prevents heart disease and other serious illnesses. It raises good cholesterol (HDL) about 4%. Fish such as salmon, sardines and herring.

Nuts.

Walnuts, almonds and cashew nuts lowers cholesterol naturally.

Beans.
In a study researchers said that by adding half a cup of beans to soup. You will lower cholesterol by about 8%. The secret? The high fibre which is abundant in beans such as  pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans.

Olive oil.
This isnt just an ordinary oil. It may be viewed as expensive by many. But the health benefits makes it worth it. It is full of mono unsaturated fatty acids that lowers cholesterol. In the process it may even reduce belly fat.

Avocado.
Many may know that avocado has fats. But it has good fats. It may raise HDL (good) cholesterol and lower bad (LDL) cholesterol. Another benefit of avocado is that reduce the amount of cholesterol that gets absorbed into the body. Please remember that it is high in calories. So it us advised to use moderate portions.

Spinach.
Recent studies has concluded that half a cup of spinach help to avoid heart attacks. Which in turn protect the artery walls from being clogged.  It contains gluten which already is known to be of benefit to guarding against age-related muscular degeneration.

Chocolate.
 This treat that is so sweet isnt just for the taste buds. But is also a powerful antioxidant. It helps to build the good cholesterol (HDL) In a study it was seen to increase HDL cholesterol to 24% in a twelve week period. But please note the dark bittersweet is higher in antioxidants than the normal milk chocolate.

So what is it? That can slowly affect our lives so badly? Cholesterol. But we can not live without cholesterol. Problem is with LDL (low density lipoprotein). High levels of LDL fats is dangerous to our health.

What is Cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a substance that is fatty. Very essential to the human body. Its most basic need is for production of hormones. Like Estrogen and testosterone. Also it is used bile production for digestion.

Cholesterol comes from two main sources.
1. It is made by the liver.
2. From the animals we ingest.

The "good and the bad" cholesterol.
HDL (High-density lipoprotein)
This is known as the good cholesterol. If these cholesterol reach  high levels. It actually protects the body. More protein than fat.
LDL (Low-density lipoprotein) This is the bad cholesterol. More fat than protein.

HDL contains little fat with more protein. It helps to getting rid of any cholesterol that is left in the body, by carrying it back to the liver to be disposed of.

Read : Compulsive Snacking

LDL increases the risk of atherosclerotic disease. When reaching very high levels of LDL it can cause and lead to heart attacks, stroke and angina.

LDL is mostly made up of fat and a quarter protein. It is carried from the liver to other parts of the body where needed for repair or other activities. It tends to move these cholesterol to artery walls and other places in the body.

When this happens. It can cause a blockage which can lead to serious health problems as mentioned earlier. So with all this in mind. Always be careful of the food you eat. Next article will discuss causes of high cholesterol. As its best to be aware of what causes high Cholesterol.

Soda

Many of us rely on fast and quick meals. So we tend to go for foods that is high in sodium. Packaged goods is very high in sodium. Filled with preservatives. Processed and packed for convenient use. Yes your favorite brand of chips is included. Also some cereals soups and salad dressings. Makes us want to read the label before we buy. 

Consider healthier foods like fruits, vegetables and grains. It is naturally low in sodium.
Snacking or eating before going to bed. Many eat at least an hour or two before going to bed. If you eat within an hour before going to bed. You will wake with a bigger belly.Remember that when we lie down we affect digestion of foods. Also our bodies use less energy when we sleep.

Food allergies:

Some food allergies mean belly expansion. Example. if you are have a food allergy to wheat. Your body cant digest gluten which means that bloating and belly expansion occurs. It includes those who are lactose intolerant.
