Let Your Diet Help You Quit Smoking

Smoking has become a plague of our times. Many people are addicted to cigarettes and Shisha;we see that all the time in public places.Today, women are even more addicted and are not ashamed to be seen holding a cigarette in public places, or even in their homes and among their children. Smart women know what smoking really does to them: smoking causes early wrinkles and changes the color of skin, teeth and nails. It harms our bodies and it’s a major cause of serious illness in adults as well as children. The best option for these women is that they should try to stop smoking. And for this reason, we are trying to highlight some of the nutrition rules that will help women who smoke to get rid of addiction and return to a healthy lifestyle.

The right food:
In a meeting with Nutrition Specialist Dr. Dina Ahmed, she provided us with simple rules for the smoking cessation period that will enable you to adapt to the new situation of being smoke free. You can do this while maintaining your ideal weight, so that your food helps you get rid of toxins and prevents the infamous weight gain that often occurs after quitting.

There are a number of foods that can help people who are trying to stop smoking. For example, bananas are one of the best fruits you can eat during the initial cessation period, because they contain vitamin B6 in addition to other nutrients like potassium, which helps the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Another good food to try is tomato -- this vegetable helps to decrease the appeal of cigarette smoke, especially the scent of it.

Since tomato and tobacco plants are in the same family, tomato juice helps you stop smoking because it helps your body believe you are still smoking, but without the harmful ingredients.

Another important substance is vitamin E, which is found in breads, nuts, and whole grains. Selenium is also important. This substance is supports the absorption of vitamin E in the body, and fights malignant diseases that may be caused by smoking. Selenium is found in fish, liver and mushrooms.

Vitamin A and Carotene are two essentials nutrients to help you stop smoking; they are found in carrots and tomatoes. These elements help your body to resist cancer development, particularly lung cancer, which is a particular risk in former smokers. One of the important food enzymes is Q10 coenzyme, which helps to reduce the proportion of toxins in the smoker’s body in general. If taken with vitamin C for example, it helps in removing all the toxins caused by smoking in a more effecient manner.

Eating foods that contain B vitamins helps in quitting smoking as well. The vitamin B group is one of the that is often destroyed and depleted in the body as a result of smoking, so we must compensate for this loss. Some of the most important vitamins in this group are:
♦Vitamin B12, which reduces damage in body cells. It’s found in liver, milk and eggs.
♦Vitamin B3, which is found in full grain, fish and liver. It’s also responsible for the reopening and energizing the blood circulation that might be constricted by nicotine.
♦Vitamin B5 helps your body to resist the psychological pressure resulting from withdrawal. It helps in reducing cravings.

Quick tips:
Dr. Dina also had some quick tips to ensure access to adequate good nutrition at this critical period; they are as follows:

* Eating vegetables, fruits and dairy products make cigarettes taste as horrible as possible, so eat lots of them. This can help you if you have a relaspse because the unpleasant flavor of the cigarette may help you stay on track with quitting.
* Avoid eating lots of red meat, coffee and carbonated drinks, because they accentuate the taste of cigarettes and can increase cravings.
* Calming herbs like Anise and Chamomile for example, reduce the cravings and irritability and help in stress control.
* Fiber-rich foods like spinach and lettuce help in the fast disposal of residual toxins that have built up in former-smokers’ bodies.
* Eating fish twice a week reduces the adverse impact of tobacco on the body.
* Taking the appropriate quantity of vitamin C (recommended by the doctor) is important, because smoking eliminates this vitamin in the body.
* Warm herbal baths and massage help to speed up the process of toxin disposal from the body, and thus help to reduce the chances that you'll want to smoke again.
* Fasting is the best remedy. Try fasting two days a week during the initial period to help your body get used to the new situation. Of course any fasting must be done under the supervision of a specialist doctor.
* Try a diet consisting of natural juice rather than canned. This will rid your body of nicotine in a very short time.
* Drink large quantities of water, especially when you feel the desire to smoke.
* Exercise is essential. It reduces tension resulting from nicotine withdrawal symptoms. It also produces the same substances produced by the brain that makes the smoker feel happy and satisfied when smoking. Exercise also prevents weight gain that can occur after you after quit smoking.

Pretty Women Make Men Nervous

Pretty women make men nervous

It's now established. Pretty women make men nervous, for a new study has revealed that blokes can lose their minds while talking to beautiful blondes.

Researchers in the Netherlands have found that talking to an attractive woman really could make a man lose his mind, a finding they claim may have implications for the performance of blokes who flirt with women in the workplace.

According to them, the reason may be that men use up so much of their brain function or cognitive resources trying to impress beautiful women, they have little left for other tasks, 'The Daily Telegraph' reported.

Women, however, are not affected by chatting to a handsome man -- this may be simply because men are programmed by evolution to think more about mating opportunities, the study found.

In their study, the researchers recruited some 40 male students. Each one performed a standard memory test where they had to observe a stream of letters and say as fast as possible if each one was the same as the one before last.

Opera VS Firefox

I was Mozilla Firefox candidate and my friend was on the side of Opera. He had been using Opera for quite a long time and he would never change that. We decided to test our claims. After arranging two PCs for the test, I opened Firefox at mine and he opened Opera at his PC. Plan was to open several websites again and again but at the same time at both PCs, one website at a time and see which browser loads the website faster.

I am a great fan of Firefox and have trust in my choice of browser. We selected a website and typed URL in browsers. At the same time we hit enter key. I was at the Firefox while my friend was at Opera. I was taken aback when Opera loaded the website page before Firefox could. Okay! I told my friend that it could be a coincidence. So we tried again. Same result. Opera showed up the page before Firefox and loaded the website with greater speed. We tried different websites after that, but to my surprise, Opera was leading every time and in case of every website. Even we hit enter for Firefox first and then for Opera, but Opera loaded the page faster then the Firefox. It was clear that Opera is way more faster then the Firefox.

Opera is Turbo charged, having new features and technology. Many people like Firefox and consider it to be the fastest browser for internet. But the case was different here. I have also noticed that Opera loads the images in slightly low quality at first load for better performance / speed and when you hit refresh button, it loads the high quality version of images. Firefox popularity is majorly due to the Plugins and Add-ons support.

What have been your experience for Firefox? Do you prefer Opera? If so why?

How to attract woman?

How to attract woman?

You've got your car gleaming, your muscles flexing and a stash of pick-up lines ready to go. Tnk that you'll attract hordes of women with ts tried and true approach? Tnk again. What men women want and what really interests women are two different tngs. If you're aiming to meet a woman who will appreciate you for who you are, you need to be aware of the impression that you create.

"I used to dress up in flashy, designer clothes whe I went to a club," says Ricardo, an easy-going software engineer. "I thought that's what I had to do to get women but it isn't really me. I did get attention, but from superficial, flaky girls that I dated more than twice." Remember to be yourself. If you love to wear khakis and pullovers, don't wear suits every time you go out. If downing beers and burgers thrills you, don't pretend to like martinis and escargot. Women like men who are comfortable with themselves. Even if all the women appear to be interested in only a certain type, there will always be someone who likes your type.

"I know women like aggressive men so I'm always very direct when I meet them," says Tony, a gregarious waiter. "I make sure I carry the conversation." Translation: Tony is overbearing. Ts does not attract women, it repels them. As a talkative guy, Tony meets lots of women, but he dates very few because he allows them to get a word in. It's great to be confident and friendly but remember that it takes more than one person for a conversation. Ask her about herself and her opinions. Listen when she replies, don't sft your attention, ing about what you will say next.. Women love men who are good listeners.

Good listening skills can also you develop an eye for detail. Does she always sing along to a certain artist on the radio? Get her the CD. Has she expressed an interest in Asian culture? Take her to an exbit on the Far East. Thoughtfulness and acknowledgment of her interests tells her that you are paying attention and value her opinions. Women tend to appreciate ts more than any expensive trinket or showy excursion.

"I always got lots of women because I drive a fancy car and have a huge expense account," says Randy, a trty-sometng record industry executive. "It was great for awle, until I realized that they weren't interested in me, only what I could give them. Now I don't tell women what I do or let them see my car until I've gotten to know them a little." Ts is a very important point. Never use your job or money to try to impress women. If you want them to be impressed by you, reveal your personality, spirit and interests, not what you have. Ts will take you a lot further in terms of meeting a sincere woman than any fast sports car ever will.

Decide The Purpose of Study...

Many of students that the first step of study is reading their note and text book . I am sure that before you do it , the first tng that you do is decide the purpose about the result that you want to reach . What score that you excpected ?

Ts is important . Why ? Because the purpose that you have decided will make your own way to study amd of course the result ! If you decide 100% for your Match , Will you study using the different way with if you target 60% ? Of Cource Yes ! When you target 100% , your brain know that you mayn't make any mistake . Because of that you will study every important point that there in teh cylabus(The chart of study) ! The Result , You can get 100% score or maybe you will get 90% .

But if you only target 60% , your brain know how to tolerate the 40% of mistake . Because of that you won't be study all what you've to study , you will miss some chapters . You won't be know the 40% of 100% . And of course the result you may get 60% , sometimes 50% by hard and maybe failed !

Get Rid of Curly Hair

Your curly hair is just like your boyfriend/girlfriend. You need to take care of it and give it utmost importance. If you don't take extra effort to make the relationship more beautiful each day, it won't take too long before you grow tired of it. The same is true with your curly hair. If you don't take good care of it, expect it to freeze anytime soon.

When you have curly hair, you need to look after it properly to stop it from getting dry and frizzy. If you have the patience, then you can blow dry it straight everyday, or use straightening iron for maintenance. If you indeed choose this path, then you have to take special care of your hair to keep it well conditioned and protected from the heat.


Living With Curls :

If you think that it is just too much of a hassle and you just want to adapt to your curls, then get a hairstylist who can help you decide on what style you should wear. A good stylist knows what hairstyle is easy to maintain. Choose one that does not need a lot of styling especially, if you have to go early to the office or to school. Easy-to-maintain hairstyles are also less likely to frizz.

Layered hairstyles are good for curly hair, but make sure that your hairdresser does not use razor to create the layers. Layers made with razors encourage split ends. Do you want to go back to the salon every two weeks just to get rid of your hair's dead ends? If you don't trim your hair on a regular basis, then expect your hairstyle to lose its shape.


Washing Curly Hair :

Your stylist may have told you that having curly hair does not require everyday washing since the natural oils are needed to have the frizz at bay --- there is nothing wrong with that. Still, not everyone is comfortable getting out of the house with unwashed hair so you may want to just wet your hair a little and then apply some conditioner on it before you leave the house.

Washing your curly hair everyday is not a bad thing. It only becomes dangerous if, after washing your hair, you make it a point to dry it with a blow dryer. Heated tools designed for your crowning glory will damage your hair, so it is better to just choose a good moisturizer to rid your hair of frizz and give your curls better definition.


Bye Bye Frizzy Hair :

The truth is, before you get rid of your curly hair, you should consider getting rid of frizzy hair. If you've tried this already and it didn't work, you may have followed the wrong techniques for getting rid of frizzy hair.

Keep frizzy hair at bay before finally deciding to say goodbye to your curls. First, do not comb your curly hair when it is dry. This doesn't mean that you should never make an effort to look good. Looking good is possible even without combing your hair. Instead of using a comb, use your fingers. Run them through your hair. If you have to use a comb, you should at least use the ones with wide teeth.

Wearing hairstyling products is also a good idea, but make sure that you use the product recommended by your hairstylist or by other users who have tried the product. Go for hairstyling products with little build up because any residue left will make your hair dry and more difficult to maintain.


The Anti-Curl Process :

What if you have finally decided to get rid of your curly hair? No more anti-frizz products. No more leave-in conditioners. No more wide-toothed combs. No more excuses.

If you are more than willing to sit in a salon for one whole hour, then you can go through the anti-curl process --- a technique designed to relax your curls. Once your curls are relaxed, your frizz will go away. For males, the anti-curl process is the ideal technique when it comes to taming your waves.

The baby curls are cut back, helping you get rid of the Afro-weed look. Aside from that, the anti-curl process leaves your hair with just enough wave body to make your crowning glory look natural.

If the anti-curl process does not appeal to you, why not try these alternatives instead?

Styling Products May Be a Big Help -- Styling products can only do so much. They are effective when it comes to styling your hair, but these are not designed to help you get rid of curls. Try using products that straighten your hair.

You can visit your nearest local department store to get some instant hair straightening products. To achieve best results, blow dry your hair while brushing it. If this doesn't work, then use your favorite hairstyling product and apply another hair straightener this time.

Keep It Short -- Cutting your hair is not enough because you will have to keep it that way. Learn to live with a short style from now on. Very short strands lack space to curl up, so expect your short hair to look straight, or maybe just wavy. Once your hair grows a little longer, you will notice that the strands will start to curl up. Sure, you can use a straightening iron everyday, but you can't trust tools that damage the quality of your beautiful hair.


Be Happy With What You Have :

Hair straightening may be the most recommended technique these days but in the long run, it won't do you any good. Having naturally curly hair is a blessing and straightening it can ultimately damage your hair. The chemicals alone can torture the strands of your crown.

In case you haven't noticed already, a growing number of people have resorted to maintaining curly hair because its beauty cannot be denied. Maybe the only reason why you think your hair looks bad is because you haven't done anything for your hair's natural beauty to come out.

10 Fitness Tips For Women...!!!

There is some fitness tips for women who really want to look beautiful and healthy...
1) Listen to your body. As you are training it is easy to become preoccupied with the repetitions you are doing, or the time you have been exercising. Leave your watch at home and slow down or walk when your body hurts- but on the same note do not be afraid to push yourself, the gym should not be a leisurely walk in the park if you are wanted to get sculpted. You must learn you understand your body

2) To improve your fitness health you need to eat a varied diet. Five fruit and vegetables a day should be your minimum target. Your health will improve if you eat at least five different kinds of fruit, then any vegetables will be a bonus.

3) Take a complete day off from exercise every once in a wle. It does not have to be every week, but doing extra training when you are tired may have a detri effect on your health and fitness. You become fitter and healter through rest as much as exercise. My off day is generally Sunday

4) For muscle increase up protein intake: make sure every meal includes good protein sources: lean meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, and beans are great examples. Do no be afraid to include protein shakes in your diet: WHEY is a great source and it takes awesome

5) Understand technique before trying anytng new. Ts will insure that you will not cause injury and you will maximize the results you want. If you have questions consult a gym professional or another reliable source.

6) You will improve your health and fitness by stretcng more. Your muscles get shorter through exercise, and if you stretch you will get injured. One method is to warm up slowly first, then spend several minutes stretcng before the main workout. Stretch thoroughly after exercise as well.

7) You need to stay hydrated if you are exercising more. Ts means drinking water and sports drinks if you are sweating a lot. You lose minerals in your body wle sweating. It is recommended to drink five glasses of water a day, but if you are working out you need to drink more than ts. Do not get carried away, though, because it can be just as dangerous to drink too much as too little.

8) Exercise with other people. You will meet new friends, and your fitness will improve if you have other people to motivate you.

9) Do not become too competitive as ts may harm your health. Motivation from other people is good, but you should only compete against yourself. Try too hard to keep up with someone else, and you could become injured. Ts goes back to understanding your body: if you know it can not handle sometng then PLEASE do not do it.

10) Have fun! Your health and fitness will improve if you are having fun because you will stick to your exercise program.
