<span class="large-txt"><span style="color: blue;">Make sure your swimmers are ready for the fast lane!</span></span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$3" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Not to be a negative Nancy or anything, but adulthood isn't always all it's cracked up to be. First, there's the entire having to go to work thing, and then there are these pesky things called bills. And to make matters worse, your friends aren't always around anymore to laugh about the pitfalls that come along with "adulting." If that sounds like the story of your life, it makes sense that you're contemplating the idea of creating your own clan of tiny humans that will be forced to hang out with you.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$4" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">But procreating isn't always as easy as dimming the lights, pouring some wine, and wearing your most alluring cologne. In order to make babies, you'll need the healthy sperm required to start the process. And one of best ways to ensure your swimmers are of Olympic quality is to increase the amounts of certain nutrients in your diet.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$5" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.01em;"><span style="color: blue;">In a small study of healthy men aged 22 to 80, researchers found that those older than 44 who consumed the most vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and folate had 20 percent less sperm DNA damage (an alteration in the chemical structure of sperm that affects fertility) than those who consumed the lowest amounts of these nutrients. Research has also found that supplementing with zinc and folic acid, the manufactured form of folate, can increase sperm count in both fertile and subfertile men. Thankfully, these nutrients are super common and found in a variety of foods. To help you pinpoint the best sources of these sperm-protecting nutrients, we've compiled the handy list below—consider it your new, go-to shopping guide.</span></span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$7" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">Because They're Rich In Zinc…</span></h2>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$9" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Not only does zinc improve sperm DNA quality in older men, it can boost testosterone levels and help enable erections. These are some of the very best sources.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$10" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">1. Lean Beef Short Ribs</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$12" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">If you're looking to beef things up downstairs, barbecue up some lean short ribs. They have more zinc than any other type of meat. A 3.5-ounce serving contains provides a whopping 114 percent of the day's recommended intake. To keep excess calories and fat at bay, opt for grass-fed protein.</span></div>
<div data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
</div>
<div class="Ov(h) Trs($transition-readmore) Mah(999999px)" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; max-height: 999999px; overflow: hidden; zoom: 1;">
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$13" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">2. Oysters</span></h2>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$15" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">These mollusks have long had a reputation as an aphrodisiac, and because of their chart-topping zinc content, they'll boost the chances of having tip-top sperm. Eight medium oysters, eaten raw on the half shell, contain almost four times the recommended intake of zinc. That means you could eat just two as part of a dinner appetizer and have fulfilled your zinc intake for the entire day. Oh, and they're also a great source of inflammation-quelling omega-3s.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$16" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">3. Pumpkin Seeds</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$18" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Aside from its positive effect on your swimmers, zinc has been shown to boost testosterone levels. And when combined with the mineral magnesium, the effects on testosterone are far more potent, according to a <em>Journal of Exercise Physiology</em> study. Pumpkin seeds are a source of both nutrients, making them a must-eat for every man. Add them to oatmeal, use them as a salad topper in lieu of croutons, or combine them with other raw nuts for a quick and simple high protein snack.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$19" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">4. Pork Chops</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$21" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Compared to other sources of protein, pork tends to have a bad rap—but it's totally unwarranted. A 3.5-ounce serving has nearly 25 percent of day's recommended intake of zinc and 19 grams of muscle-building protein for just 152 calories and 8 grams of fat.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$22" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">Because They're High in Folic Acid&Folate…</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$24" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">A deficiency in folate or folic acid (the manufactured form of folate) can cause an increase in sperm with chromosomal abnormalities, so you'll want to up your intake if you're trying to conceive.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$25" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">5. Marmite</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$27" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">This sticky, salty yeast extract spread looks like tar and has a unique and powerful odor all its own. Even its British manufacturers admit that Marmite—which is typically spread on hot buttered toast at breakfast— is an acquired taste. But if you love the idea of passing on your genes, it's worth trying to warm up to the taste. Why? Its main ingredient is yeast extract, which is one of the top sources of folate. In fact, one small smear of the condiment packs a whopping 25 percent of your recommended daily intake of the nutrient. Once smuggled into the U.S. by the families and friends of British expats, Marmite can be found at Whole Foods and Amazon.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$28" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">6. Black-Eyed Peas</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$30" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">When it comes to increasing your intake of the folate, black-eyed peas are a no-brainer. A half-cup serving contains more than half the amount you should eat in a day. Bonus: Although called a pea, they're actually legumes, which just so happen to be one of these 29 Best-Ever Proteins for Weight Loss. Add them to your salads, veggie burgers, and homemade soups to reap the benefits.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$31" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">7. Fortified Cereals</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$33" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">They may not be organic, but a fortified cereal is an easy way to load up on a host of good-for-you nutrients, including folic acid <em>and</em> zinc. Look for a variety that's made with whole grains and has less than 8 grams of sugar per serving. Many good-for-you brands have 100 percent of your RDA of folic acid (like Wheaties) so be sure to scan the label before tossing it into your cart to make sure you're buying the best of the lot.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$34" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">8. Spinach</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$36" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Popeye shouldn't be the only dude that loads up on spinach. Thanks to its high folate content it should be a part of every daddy hopeful's weekly diet. Use a cup or two of raw leaves as a salad base (15 to 30 percent DV) or sautée some up with a bit of EVOO and garlic as a side dish. A half-cup serving packs an impressive 33 percent of the day's intake. What's more, spinach is one of the best dietary sources of magnesium, a mineral that's essential for reproductive function in men both young and old.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$37" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">Because They're Rich in Vitamin C</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$39" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Though many people turn to the vitamin when they feel the sniffles coming on, vitamin C offers far more benefits to your bod than you might realize. The nutrient has been proven to counteract stress hormones that trigger belly fat storage, ward off sperm DNA damage, and even increase sperm counts.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$40" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">9. Strawberries</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$42" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">A mere cup of this vibrant berry has 148 percent of the day's vitamin C! They're also chock full of polyphenols, powerful natural chemicals that can help you lose weight–and even stop fat from forming, which can help you feel extra confident between the sheets.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$43" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">10. Brussels Sprouts</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$45" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">In addition to serving up nearly two day's worth of vitamin C, this cruciferous veggie is a good source of heart-healthy omega-3s. Not only is the healthy fat pertinent to maintaining good heart health, it also raises dopamine levels in the brain. This spike in dopamine improves circulation and blood flow, triggering arousal. If you don't care for fatty fish like salmon, sprouts and other foods rich in the nutrient like walnuts and flaxseeds are important additions to your diet—and your sex life.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$46" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">11. Red Bell Pepper</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$48" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Get this: a cup of raw red bell betters has more vitamin C than three oranges, which is good news for your swimmers. Dip slices of the veggie into an Eat This-approved hummus, add the veggie to sandwiches and salads or throw some lean meat in a corn tortilla with salsa, black beans, red pepper, and onion for a Chipotle-inspired dinner.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$49" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">12. Guava</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$51" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">The sweet fruit packs nearly seven day's worth of sperm-protecting vitamin C into a mere one cup serving. It also has a higher concentration of lycopene (a cancer-fighting antioxidant) than any other fruit or vegetable. Never eaten one before? You might be surprised to find the fruit overflowing with seeds. Don't bother trying to eat around them—they're edible, so just dig in!</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$52" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">Because They're Rich in Vitamin E</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$54" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Not only can vitamin E protect your sperm's DNA quality, it can also boost testosterone and increase libido, which will help get you in the mood for sexy time.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$55" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">13. Sunflower Seeds</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$57" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Sunflower seeds are a potent source of both vitamin E and folate, making them on the most sperm-friendly seeds on the planet. (Not that you were on the hunt for such a thing.) Toss some seeds into a homemade trail mix or salad, or stir some sunflower seed butter into your morning oatmeal.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$58" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">14. Almonds</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".ph075ddoio.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$60" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">According to the National Institutes of Health, adults should consume 15 milligrams of vitamin E each and every day. Just 24 almonds—which make a great on-the-go snack—will get you halfway there. Just don't go beyond the recommended serving size, or you could wind up with dad bod even before your lady gets a bun in the oven.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">15. Safflower Oil</span></h2>

<span style="color: blue;">Sure, safflower oil can help protect your swimmers, but that's not the only reason we're a fan of this high-smoke-point oil. It's also been linked to lower levels of cholesterol, lower blood sugar, and increased weight loss. A tablespoon provides 4.6 milligrams or 31 percent of the day's vitamin E. Curious how other cooking oils stack up in terms of weight loss benefits?</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">16. Beet Greens</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.15px;"><span style="color: blue;">If you typically toss the green leaves that are attached to bulbous shaped beets, you're missing out on some serious nutrition. Sautée some up with some chopped onion, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to get a solid hit of the day's recommended intake of vitamin E.</span></span></div>

<div class="first" id="yui_3_9_1_1_1476021483117_1015" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">After announcing special infinity post-paid plans for the newly released iPhone 7 series in India. Airtel has launched a special 'iPhone for Life' scheme, which allows consumers buy the new Apple devices for as low as Rs. 19,990.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">That said, Airtel's promotional campaign is similar to contract system we see in the west, wherein consumers, during the purchase of a device, are obliged to sign a deal with the network carrier for a minimum of one year with pre-set monthly bill.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Here in India, new and existing Airtel subscribers get to choose three iPhone 7 and 7 Plus series storage models—32GB, 128GB and 256GB by paying a down payment ranging from Rs.19,990 to Rs. 43,972. Rest of the amount will be paid by Airtel's finance partner Bajaj Finance Ltd (BFL) EMI plans at 0% interest rate.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">After completion of 12 months, buyers can upgrade to the new iPhone in 2017 or else continue to use by paying Balloon payment to Bajaj Finance.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">But, if you are really not happy with service, you can foreclose service by paying remaining amount of the device including penalty to Bajaj Finance.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">As of now, Airtel's 'iPhone for Life' offer is live in New Delhi and Karnataka. Based on the response in these regions, the company is expected to expand the service in other markets.</span></div>

<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1475933536847_1006" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">What makes someone uncomfortable depends on the person, but what's universally true is the value of recognizing boundaries and continually pushing them.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">As Quora user Joos Meyer explains in response to the question, "What uncomfortable things such as cold showers can improve your life?" pushing your comfort zone is the key to self-improvement.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"I think the best methodology is to every day or week set a task or find a situation that makes you slightly uncomfortable. Do that thing. This will incorporate the experience into your model of 'normality' and hence expand your 'comfort zone,'" he writes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Here are some uncomfortable things that other Quora users say have helped them grow:</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">1. Question everything</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"The most uncomfortable thing one can do is to question everything that is taken for granted and seek answers," writes Malli Gurram. "Try to see the other side of the norm."</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">2. Be 100% honest</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Being the most honest you've ever been with someone in your life will be one of the most uncomfortable things you can do, Ryan Brown says, but it could also be the most valuable.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">To do this, he suggests writing a list of all the people to whom you have something — good or bad — to say, writing down the honest feelings you need to convey to them in a letter, handing the person the letter, and writing down what happened and how the experience affected you and the other person.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"If you're being really honest, each letter you write should make you quite emotional as you are writing it," Brown writes. "That is how you know you have tapped into your actual emotions and feelings — that it actually means something to you."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"Don't forget what you have learned from the experience," he suggests. "Let it be with you forever."</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">3. Meditate</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Oftentimes, slowing down and finding inner calm can be especially difficult for those of us who are constantly on the go and thinking of the next things we need to do.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">But as Nathan Hershey points out, the benefits can include enhancing your cognitive capacity, emotional intelligence, and overall self-discipline.</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">4. Wake up extremely early</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Ekin Öcalan loves to wake up before sunrise because it provides the perfect study-and-work environment. Waking at 5 a.m., while everyone else sleeps, is the perfect, albeit challenging, way to begin the day in silence, he writes.</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">5. Do something creative</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"Many people say they want to be creative. Then they go home and binge watch TV episodes on Netflix while drinking red wine," Mark Toole writes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">While fear of rejection and failure are powerful demotivators, having a creative outlet can do wonders for our bodies and minds. What's more, "keeping your work to yourself also guarantees that nobody else will ever love it," Toole notes.</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">6. Watch your pennies</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Keep track of every penny you spend, from auto repairs and life insurance to coffee and french fries, for several months, suggests Bruce A McIntyre.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">And try paying for everything you can with cash. "If you have to reach in your wallet and pull out cash, you will often think twice about how much you need something."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">You'd be surprised how much debt you can pay off when you literally watch your pennies.</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">7. Volunteer</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Gurram suggests volunteering for a nonprofit or doing selfless deeds. Volunteering can make you feel like you're part of something big, Gurram says, using volunteer experience with TEDx as an example.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"It was such an overwhelming feeling I had on the big day, being part of the community," Gurram says.</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">8. Track what you eat</span></h3>

<span style="color: blue;">Keeping track of all the food you eat and all the exercise you do in a day can be challenging, butTina Marshall says using her MyFitnessPal app helped her see the harm she was doing to her body.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"I didn't realize how little of some nutrients I was getting and how much sugar and fat I was getting daily until I started to do this regularly," she writes.</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="color: blue;">9. Eat only nutritious food</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">After you track your food, start eating only what is truly nutritious — Doug Whitney says this will change your life forever.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"The short answer here is to prepare your own food, eat organic as much as possible — yes, it's expensive, but it's cheaper than the medical bills and lost performance — focus on lean meats and veggies, avoid grains (they're disastrous for most of us), and when you do eat something that isn't good for you, notice the difference in how you feel. This is key!"</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">He says this will be uncomfortable for a number of reasons: It's hard; it's socially limiting; it can be more expensive if you are used to eating off the dollar menu; it's not as tasty when you start, and it takes more time.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">But he says the outcome is 100% worth the effort. "Being a weird health nut and outperforming everyone else is so much more fun than blending in — and that's not just athletically. It's mentally as well."</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="color: blue;">10. Practice public speaking</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">It may be scary to think about, but you never know when you may be called upon to speak in public. Practice, while daunting, is the key to improving your communication skills.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Gurram recommends joining a nearby Toastmasters group or an improv group in your city: "It's scary as hell until you realize that everyone around you feels the same."</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="color: blue;">11. Talk to someone new</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"See someone you're interested in? Go talk to them," Toole suggests. "The worst that can happen is an epically catastrophic rejection, which gives you something funny to talk about. That and increased confidence in your abilities next time."</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="color: blue;">12. Leave your phone in your pocket</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"How many times have you checked your phone while reading this? The last time you were at a restaurant or bar, how many times did you pull out your phone to look something up?" Toole asks.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">There's something to be said of taking a digital detox and allowing our minds to wander. Rather than reaching for our phones when we're bored, research suggests that leaning into boredom can help make us more productive, goal-oriented, and creative.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Plus, it's just good manners when you're in social settings.</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="color: blue;">13. Pick just one thing to master at a time</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Your approach to self-betterment might be trying as many things as possible and seeing what works. But Rob Hanna says using the opposite tactic, though uncomfortable, is key.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"Intention is the key to mastery," Hanna writes. He explains this requires calling your shots and hitting them.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"The problem with most improvement seekers in life is that they really don't know what they're looking for, and then they keep casting about capriciously for the next new thing."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">If you're constantly changing interests, he says, you're never going to discover your own internal progress. "So pick one thing and become progressively committed to mastering it. It doesn't matter what it is, anything will do, as long as you do."</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">14. Accomplish an almost impossible goal</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">The most uncomfortable thing you can do, according to Rizwan Aseem, is to set and achieve a goal that's harder than something you've ever done before.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">To do that, he suggests you think about a thing you're comfortable doing every day and amplify it until you get to a point where you become really scared of doing it. If you run a mile every day, the idea of running seven might terrify you. Set this as your one-year goal.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"The hardest part is to actually go out there and take the actions steps that will help you achieve this goal," he writes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"You will have to use all your mental and physical strength to actually get yourself to achieve this goal. But here's the thing: Something very cool happens in your mind, your physiology, your internal makeup when you actually do this. You become invincible. You will be able to set any goal for yourself and then achieve it."</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">15. Seek help</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"I think the most uncomfortable yet healthy thing you can do is go to therapy," writes Sam Ham. "There, those defenses you've been utilizing for years, or perhaps decades, may be exposed, and it can be incredibly difficult to realize that you (and those you love or hate) are not necessarily who you thought."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">As Business Insider previously reported, roughly one in every five Americans, or about 43 million people, suffers from mental illness, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. About 60% of us received no treatment in the past. With cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), people start to change their thoughts, which in turn can cause behavior changes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"Learning that you, and those around you, are not so black and white and absolute can be, at the very least, uncomfortable and disorienting. And practicing awareness, acceptance, and forgiveness can be a rigorous and exhausting chore," Ham writes. "But damn, it's so worth it."</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Samosas are the ultimate moral war in the unhealthy world of Indian snacks. They are irresistible, but so unhealthy. If only there could be healthy samosas, life for many would be easy. Read to know what makes samosas dangerous?</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1pzrilpr6xo.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$1" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Well, we have some good news - a recipe for you to make healthy samosas. We still havent found a place where you can get healthy samosas, but we can tell you how to make them healthier.</span></div>
<ul class="canvas-list Pstart(40px) Mt(1.5em) Mb(1.5em) List(d)" data-reactid=".1pzrilpr6xo.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$2" data-type="list" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 1.5em 0px; padding-left: 40px;">
<li data-reactid=".1pzrilpr6xo.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$2.$list-item-0"><span style="color: blue;">The maida (refined flour) used for the crust acts inside your body the same way sugar would. It has a high glycemic index, so it spikes your blood sugar, and promotes fat storage.</span></li>
<li data-reactid=".1pzrilpr6xo.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$2.$list-item-1"><span style="color: blue;">So, you know, even samosas are not sweet, theyre not good for diabetics. Then, the samosa is deep fried, so the outer crust absorbs all the oil and gets loaded with calories.</span></li>
<li data-reactid=".1pzrilpr6xo.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$2.$list-item-2"><span style="color: blue;">To further drop its health quotient, the unhealthy samosa is stuffed with potatoes that are cooked in oil and fat!</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1pzrilpr6xo.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$3" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">But worry not, make the following three swaps in the samosa recipe, and your samosas will be much healthier.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1pzrilpr6xo.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$4" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">Samosa Recipe</span></h2>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1pzrilpr6xo.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$5" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-weight: bolder;">Step 1</span>- In the dough, instead of using only maida (refined flour), mix in equal amounts of atta (whole wheat flour). So, the samosa will still retain its flaky and crisp crust, but will have more fiber, protein and vitamins.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1pzrilpr6xo.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$6" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-weight: bolder;">Step 2</span>-Instead of deep frying them, bake them in an oven. This saves all the calories and your heart from all that saturated fat and cholesterol.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1pzrilpr6xo.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$7" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-weight: bolder;">Step 3</span>-Instead of the same potato stuffing, use other veggies like peas, carrot, cauliflower. You can even stuff them with any kind of cooked meat, and turn up their protein content.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1pzrilpr6xo.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$8" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">So, make these swaps in your samosa recipe, and load up on these samosas!</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1pzrilpr6xo.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$9" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">

<span class="large-txt"><span style="color: blue;">When it comes to the relationship between eggs and cholesterol, it seems like we've been served up some scrambled messages.</span></span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1va60pqjwe0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$3" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Have you ever thought you could reduce your high cholesterol levels simply by not eating foods that contain cholesterol (like eggs)? You're not alone. Heck, even the Dietary Guidelines recommended against consuming more than 300 mg of dietary cholesterol a day up until the newly-revised 2015 version. Now, the Dietary Guidelines have removed this limit, referencing the fact that all available evidence suggests there is no relationship between consumption of dietary cholesterol and levels of blood cholesterol. (In fact, a large body of evidence indicates that cholesterol-rich eggs can actually <em>improve</em> your cholesterol profile by raising the "good" cholesterol, HDL.)</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1va60pqjwe0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$4" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">We aren't saying that changing your diet won't help you reduce your numbers. Eating the right foods is one of the most effective ways to lower—or maintain healthy levels of—your cholesterol. So besides exercising more, cutting out refined sugars, and steering clear of foods high in saturated and trans fats, simply incorporate the foods below into your weekly routine and you might be able to toss your statins—stat.

<span style="color: blue;">Types of Cholesterol</span></h2>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1va60pqjwe0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$7" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Before we go into our list of foods, here's a general review of what types of cholesterol are found in your body:</span></div>
<h3 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1va60pqjwe0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$8" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span style="color: blue;">HDL CHOLESTEROL</span></span></h3>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1va60pqjwe0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$9" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Think—<span style="font-weight: bolder;">H</span>elpful. Known as the "good" cholesterol, HDL takes excess cholesterol to the liver, where it's passed from the body. It may also remove excess cholesterol from arterial plaque, slowing its growth. High levels of this type of cholesterol may protect against heart attacks, while low levels indicate a greater risk of heart attack and stroke.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Think—<span style="font-weight: bolder;">L</span>azy. "Bad" LDL cholesterol deposits excess cholesterol and fat molecules into your blood (rather than to your liver), leading it to build up in your arteries. When your arteries become blocked—what's known as atherosclerosis—it puts you at higher risk for heart attacks and stroke. What you may not know is that the size of LDL particles matters as well. And it turns out, bigger is better: "small, dense LDL" particles confer a higher risk of heart disease than "large LDL" particles. So even some foods that raise overall LDL levels may actually be enlarging the small, dense LDL, which actually slashes the risk of cardiovascular problems.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Not all carbs will shatter your weight loss goals. This nutrient-dense, fiber-rich cereal grain is loaded with the cholesterol-lowering, soluble fiber beta-glucan. Just three grams of beta-glucan has been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol levels from 5 to 10 percent and thus reduce your risk of coronary heart disease. The same fibers that cause your oats to double in size overnight, beta-glucans lower bad cholesterol by forming a layer in the small intestine that blocks cholesterol from entering your bloodstream, according to a review in the journal <em>Food&Function</em>.

<span style="color: blue;">Eat your heart out! And by that, we mean you should nosh on veggies of the same ruby red color, like radishes! Their red hue is due to anthocyanins, a group of phytochemical compounds that has been shown to burn fat and reduce inflammation, insulin resistance, and bad cholesterol. In a Japanese study, rats fed radishes for three weeks showed reduced levels of bad cholesterol and insulin and a boost in good cholesterol. Use them as a salad garnish, taco-topper, or eat them whole as a high-fiber, belly-filling snack.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Thanks to quinoa, ancient grains have won a place at many Americans' tables. But don't limit yourself to just quinoa; why not check out kamut as well? Native to the Middle East, kamut (or Khorasan wheat) is rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, is high in protein(nearly 10 grams per cup), and has a good amount of fiber (21 grams of the satiating nutrient per cup). And according to a study published in the <em>European Journal of Clinical Nutrition</em>, participants who ate kamut wheat products in place of refined wheat reduced total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and cytokines, which cause inflammation throughout the body, over the course of eight weeks. Toss it into salads or enjoy it as a side dish on its own.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">You can thank tree nuts'—pistachios, walnuts, and pecans—high levels of plant sterols for their cholesterol-lowering ability. These cholesterol-mimicking compounds found naturally in plants can block the absorption of cholesterol from being absorbed into your bloodstream. Instead, they help to ship it out with your waste. Don't just take our word for it. When UCLA Center for Human Nutrition researchers gave one group of participants pretzels and the other group an equal-calorie portion of pistachios for an afternoon snack, the pistachio group was able to reduce their BMI by a point (while the pretzel-eating group stayed the same) and improved their cholesterol and triglyceride levels over 12 weeks. Pistachios will also help you to bulk up—check out these 15 Nuts Better Than Protein Powder.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Onions are the unsung heroes of cardiovascular health. Thanks to their bioactive sulfur-containing compounds, the culinary staple can help lower cholesterol, ward off hardening of the arteries, and help maintain healthy blood pressure levels. According to a study published in the <em>British Journal of Nutrition</em>, onions may lower cholesterol by decreasing your body's synthesis of the compound as well as increasing conversion of cholesterol to bile acids. Onions are easy to throw into just about anything—just make sure to heat them up first. The same study found that heat-treated onions were more effective at lowering cholesterol compared to raw onions.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Don't overlook this tart fruit. The citrus can help with everything from keeping high blood pressure at bay to lessening the appearance of wrinkles. It doesn't just end there; University of Florida researchers found that grapefruit's pectin could lower total cholesterol and drop your ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol. Consider digging into half of a grapefruit before your morning oatmeal or slice a few segments on top of your starter salad.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Now you'll know why we sing the praises of beans for being good for your heart! Lentils—as well as all pulses, like chickpeas, peas, and beans—are packed with cholesterol-lowering soluble fibers. In a recent review of randomized clinical trials published in <em>The Canadian Medical Association Journal</em>, researchers found that eating just three-quarters of a cup of cooked legumes every day could reduce LDL levels by about fivepercent, compared to similar diets without them. That five percent reduction in LDL is also associated with a five to six percent reduction in heart attacks and other major cardiovascular events, according to the researchers. The benefits don't stop there. Because lentils contain some of the highest amounts of protein (nine grams per half cup serving), they also make a great replacement for meat protein that can contain high levels of cholesterol-raising saturated fats.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Need another reason to try out your new favorite avocado recipes? How about this: the fatty fruit is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that can help lower cholesterol levels and decrease risk for heart disease when consumed in place of saturated or trans fats. Not to mention, the avocado is a powerful hunger squasher, so you'll be less likely to eat cholesterol-raising foods (like sugary treats) after you've eaten some avo. Case in point is this study published in <em>Nutrition Journal</em>, which found that participants who ate half a fresh avocado with lunch reported a 40 percent decreased desire to eat for hours afterward.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Who knew that when you pulled out your phone to Google "how to get rid of bloating," you'd find both a solution to your troubled tummy <em>and</em> your high cholesterol levels? You heard us right. Famous for aiding in digestion, ginger has also been found to help reduce total cholesterol, LDL, and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels when subjects consumed three doses of three-gram ginger capsules. Researchers attribute ginger's health benefits to gingerols, compounds that are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial. Get the benefits by grating some fresh ginger into warm water with a squeeze of lemon to make some tummy taming tea.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">We know you didn't really need another excuse to nibble on that chocolate bar, but we'll give it to you anyway. A recent review published by researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Boston Veterans Affairs Healthcare System discovered that cocoa products, including dark chocolate, may be able to lower levels of LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol. The secret lies in the presence of cocoa flavanols, which previous studies have found to inhibit cholesterol absorption as well as the expression of LDL receptors. To reap the benefits, grab a bar that contains 70 percent or more cocoa solids or pure cacao powder, as these will have the highest amounts of flavanols.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Replace your morning joe with a cup of green tea to whittle your waist and ward off disease. What makes this hulk-colored elixir so powerful? It's packed with catechins: antioxidant compounds that blast through adipose tissue by revving your metabolism and relinquishing stored fat from fat cells. But that's not all—according to Harvard researchers, the antioxidants in green tea may also lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase levels of HDL (good) cholesterol.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Apples are quite ap-<em>peel</em>-ing to those looking to get a handle on their cholesterol levels. Why is that? It's because apple peels are rich in a type of soluble fiber known as pectin—the same fiber you'd add to jams or jellies to thicken them up. Pectin helps your body excrete the bad cholesterol by latching onto it and guides it out of your digestive system.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">We're highlighting this Korean fermented cabbage, but many other fermented foods (like sour beer, yogurt, pickles, cocoa, and sauerkraut) can also help lower bad cholesterol levels. The key here is the presence of Lactobacilli—a strain of lactic acid bacteria, or culture, that gives fermented foods their characteristic sour taste. A study published in the<em>International Journal of Food Microbiology</em> found that the specific strain in kimchi was able to lower cholesterol levels by preventing cholesterol from being picked up by your bloodstream.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Extra virgin olive oil is rich in cancer-fighting polyphenols and cardio-protective monounsaturated fats. And when it comes to looking lean, it's backed by some pretty strong facts. A recent study published in the journal <em>Obesity</em> found that an EVOO-rich diet resulted in higher levels of a fat-blasting hormone known as adiponectin than a high-carb or high-protein diet. As for cholesterol? An Italian study recently found that replacing corn oil with extra virgin olive oil was able to lower LDL levels in healthy individuals.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">One of the hallmarks of a balanced diet is to have a good ratio of omega-3s to omega-6s. A 1:4 ratio is ideal, but the modern American diet is more like 1:20. That leads to inflammation, which can trigger weight gain. One of the easiest ways to upgrade your diet is by sprinkling some ground chia seeds or flaxseed into your overnight oats, on top of baked goods, or mixed into your smoothies. Animal studies suggest a chia-rich diet can lower harmful LDL cholesterol and protect the heart, and a recent study in <em>The Journal of Nutrition</em> found that when patients who were susceptible to cardiovascular disease ingested just 30 grams (about four tablespoons) of ground flaxseed daily, they could reduce circulating LDL cholesterol levels by 15 percent in as early as one month.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="clear: left; color: blue; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsjMIeXdHx5CGTpHO0_webL8TekW0cx62BFxqdpYd_O6F_fFJJFS3Roz-IeJ64pHZJ2I0Q7CbwUPNblz33M7o5yNXq6n03i95uwhG9FWVtljhzFa8gIkGIZc7RCqQKtOanu7qm3GrOGTM/s400/Lack+of+sleep.jpg" width="400" /></span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$2" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Sleep: it’s wonderful stuff. A magic elixir, a miracle cure.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$3" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">But you probably don’t get enough, right?</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$4" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Most of us don’t get enough. Even though we’re told constantly that we should be getting eight hours a night, many of us go round permanently tired.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$5" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Because in our modern busy culture, it’s easy to send sleep to the back of the queue. You’ve got work to catch up on, or you’ve just got to finish that box set.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$6" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">But sleep isn’t just key to making us feel alert and preventing eye bags taking over our faces - it’s vital to genuine good health. And going with too little can have worryingly harmful effects.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$7" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">So in case tonight you’re tempted to watch ‘just one more episode’, we asked the experts what lack of sleep really does to your body and mind.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$8" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">“We know from our own extensive research that people are simply not setting aside the time they need to get the sleep their body requires,” says Lisa Artis from The Sleep Council.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$9" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">“The results of our most recent Great British Bedtime report showed that a third of us get by on just five to six hours sleep a night which, for most of us, is not enough to feel or perform at our best,” she adds.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$10" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Overall, Harvard Medical School found that those who don’t get enough sleep are 15% more likely to die unnaturally early than those who had good sleep habits.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$11" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">But long before you get to that stage, the effect of lack of sleep can be felt across spectrum of your health.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$13" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-weight: 700;"><span style="color: blue;">Short term sleeplessness</span></span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$14" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-weight: 700;">Physical issues</span> can include dizziness, feeling weak or fatigued and lacking the physical energy to perform basic tasks.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$15" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">You might also notice that you feel extra hungry and get major sugar cravings. This is because your body produces more of the hunger hormone ghrelin to get the energy it needs to operate.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$16" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">You’re also more likely to fall sick with common colds, infections and the flu. This is because your body builds and supports your immune system while you’re asleep - so if this complicated process is cut short, it won’t be able to fight the bugs.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$17" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Your libido could also take a hit.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$18" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Plus your skin and eyes might look dull as your body preserves its energy for more essential tasks than keeping them clear.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$19" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-weight: 700;">Mentally</span>, you might notice you have a shorter temper and suffer mood swings. And difficulty concentrating is common. </span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$20" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">This all happens because sleep deprivation leaves the brain exhausted and depleted - rendering it unable to perform its normal tasks efficiently.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$21" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">This can leave you feeling uncharacteristically blue and unable to get excited about things.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$24" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-weight: 700;"><span style="color: blue;">Long-term effects</span></span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$25" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">All of these are irritating but transient. However, continued sleep deprivation can be incredibly serious for your health.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$26" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">It’s now well known that lack of sleep can contribute to gaining weight - which can lead to a variety of worrying health conditions.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$27" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">These include diabetes, obesity, heart disease and even some cancers.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$28" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Lack of sleep messes with your hormone production and natural body rhythms, so to combat it, your body will overproduce hormones such as cortisol (stress) and insulin (which helps process sugar), both of which make your body store extra fat you don’t need.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$29" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">The disrupted insulin can also up your risk of developing type II diabetes.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$30" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">It can also cause you to feel continually hungry as your body forces you to eat to keep your energy up. But at the same time your ability to make rational decisions about healthy food reduces, further worsening your diet - and your sleep.</span></div>
<div data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.1" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
</div>
<div class="Ov(h) Trs($transition-readmore) Mah(999999px)" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; max-height: 999999px; overflow: hidden; zoom: 1;">
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$31" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Lack of sleep puts the cardiac system under strain too. Those who sleep less often have higher heart rates and blood pressure.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$32" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">And long-term poor immunity can lead to serious respiratory conditions such as pneumonia.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$33" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Studies have also linked lack of sleep to higher rates of Alzheimer’s.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$34" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Plus, on a day to day basis, your body has to keep you functioning, despite the lack of sleep. This can lead to hallucinations and micro-sleeps, which can obviously be extremely dangerous, particularly if you’re doing something active such as driving.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$35" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-weight: 700;"><span style="color: blue;">Mentally, lack of sleep can be just as harmful.</span></span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$36" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Depression and anxiety are common side effects of prolonged insomnia. The long-term effects of being unable to concentrate and take on board new things, as well as mood swings and feeling low can really take their toll.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$37" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Paranoia and suicidal thoughts can also occur and any underlying mental health concerns are generally exacerbated. For example, sleeplessness can cause a manic episode if you’re prone to them, or bring on a bout of extreme OCD.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$38" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Ultimately, sleep is as essential to us as food and water. And while everyone will go through periods of sleepless nights, it’s always worth taking the time to look at your problems with sleep and attempt to fix them for the long haul.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".vzkpktrw4g.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$39" data-type="text" style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">

<span style="clear: left; color: blue; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJmQEqxfknYnCjYM-w68dFBvD6NKYBUhj9oM5So9S7BHnFpydRpFSHLTb4TjXSGdCmLf1ZLYWqtvmRHUZJcfIx-FQ_chJLgucbFRqTcbXQQ_dMAZ9izaaE2MtNjk7I2MU9QUKJQsQKbNo/s400/Natural+birth.jpg" width="400" /></span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".y6hly55qyi.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$1" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">In a first of its kind, a baby has been born using the DNA of three people, through a procedure which is being hailed as a breakthrough in science. This procedure, which involves the transfer of mitochondria from parents, who are at the risk of transferring severe and life threatening genetic diseases to their children, has also courted controversy for the way in which it was carried out, on an experimental basis.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".y6hly55qyi.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$2" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">With the entire debate going on about surrogacy, and its legal and ethical issues, and with advancements in science which make concepts such as three-parent babies possible, birth, which is supposed to be one of nature’s biggest constant, has gone beyond the realm of being natural. And its not just conception, but the process of delivering babies is also becoming highly medical, where while unheard of in the olden times, many doctors and hospitals push for a C-section or a drug induced delivery, nowadays.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".y6hly55qyi.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$3" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">However, amidst all this is a small, but growing number of parents who are opting to go for alternative, and more natural methods to birthing, without any medical intervention. We take a look at the different natural birthing techniques that people are opting for:</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".y6hly55qyi.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$4" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-weight: 700;">Water birthing: </span>While in the mother’s womb, the baby is surrounded by amniotic fluid, through which it gets its nourishment and protection by cushioning it against potential blows to the mother’s abdomen. Hence, practitioners of water birthing argue that for the baby, water is the most natural environment. During water birth, and under the supervision of an obstetrician or a trained midwife, the mother enters a specially designed tub containing water, at the start of labour. While some mothers proceed to deliver inside the tub, with the doctor/midwife keeping the baby face up as soon as it is delivered, some may decide to get out of the pool once they have dilated. This process is also known to be relaxing for the mother, promotes more efficient uterine contractions and also helps to stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural pain relievers. Many birthing centres, and some hospitals, also provide water birthing facilities to expectant mothers. However, the method has to be performed under the supervision of trained doctors/mid wives, and is not recommended for high risk pregnancies, breach births, preterm births and multiple births.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".y6hly55qyi.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$5" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-weight: 700;">Home birthing: </span>While this may seem like going back to the olden days, some couples today opt for giving birth at home. Again, home births are only possible if the pregnancy is risk free, and in the presence of qualified mid wives, and a doctor on stand by. In India, however, home births are discouraged, because of the lack of qualified mid wives, and the risks involved with the process. However, there are specialised birthing centres which send their qualified teams to the expectant mother’s place, to assist with the birthing process. On the positive side, it allows the would-be mother the ability to remain and relax in the comfort of her home, instead of a sterile hospital environment.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-weight: 700;">Hypnobirthing: </span>Based on English obstetrician, Grantly Dick-Read’s 1944 manual titled, ‘Childbirth Without Fear’, Hypnobirthing is a process which helps women break away from the fear,tension and pain syndrome that kicks in when labour begins. In this technique, trained Hypno instructors teach women and their partners, relaxation, meditation and visualisation techniques, which allow the women to enter into a state of relaxation, and dispel all fear and tension. This helps make the process of delivery easier and reduces the need for medical intervention.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-weight: 700;">Lamaze Birthing technique: </span>Yet another technique that is slowly gaining popularity in India is the Lamaze method of childbirth. Developed by the French obstetrician, Dr Fernand Lamaze in 1940, the technique aims to increase the mother’s confidence and preparedness for the process of labour, thereby reducing the need for medical intervention. An organisation called The Lamaze International Organisation provides certification courses for practitioners who teach the technique. Some hospitals also conduct Lamaze classes, providing parents-to-be with information about what to expect during and after delivery, basic exercise techniques, self-care, breastfeeding classes, breathing exercises during labour, etc. among other preparatory information.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: 700;">The Bradley Method:</span> Also called the Husband Coaching method, the Bradley Method focuses on encouraging mothers to understand their own bodies, and uses natural techniques such as breathing, nutrition, exercise, relaxation and education to prepare them for child birth. It also relies on training fathers to be partners in the child birth process. The method was devised by Dr Robert A Bradley in 1947 to reduce the need for medication during child birth.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Italian police have recovered two Van Gogh paintings stolen </span><span style="color: blue; font-size: 1rem;">in 2002</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: 1rem;"> during a dramatic raid on an Amsterdam museum.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: helmet, freesans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 23px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">The works were recovered from the Naples mafia, they said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: helmet, freesans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">The Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam said the works were found during a "massive, continuing investigation" by Italian prosecutors and organised crime officials.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: helmet, freesans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">The paintings were taken when thieves used a ladder and sledgehammers to break into the museum.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: helmet, freesans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">They were eventually found wrapped in cloth in a safe in a house in the picturesque seaside town of Castellammare di Stabia, near Pompeii.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: helmet, freesans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">The works were among assets worth millions of euros seized from a Camorra organised crime group linked to cocaine trafficking, Italian reports said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: helmet, freesans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">Months earlier, police had arrested several suspected drug traffickers who had invested their proceeds in Dubai, Spain and the Isle of Man. They were reportedly linked to one of the biggest mafia clans in the Scampia area of northern Naples.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: helmet, freesans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">Among those arrested in January were suspected drugs gang leader Raffaele Imperiale and Mario Cerrone. It was Mr Cerrone who apparently told investigators about the two paintings.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: helmet, freesans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">The theft of the two works, valued by investigators at $100m (£77m; €89m), led to criticism of security at the world's major art museums.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: helmet, freesans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">The thieves broke into the museum through the roof during the night of 6-7 December 2002 and used sledgehammers to break a first-floor window.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: helmet, freesans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">They took the paintings off the walls of the main exhibition hall. Experts were baffled at the time of the theft because guards had been on patrol and infra-red security systems were in place.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: helmet, freesans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">Neither work was insured at the time, and both were on loan to the Van Gogh museum from the Dutch government. Two Dutch citizens were jailed for theft but always maintained their innocence.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: helmet, freesans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">The museum said it was so far unclear when the works would be returned to Amsterdam but in a statement it said they appeared to be in "relatively good condition".</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: helmet, freesans, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.375; margin-top: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: blue;">Dutch and Italian ministers were overjoyed by the news, and praised Italian investigators.</span></div>

<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$0" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">I would like to highlight the importance and value of sleep. Quality sleep can make or break how you feel the next day, your energy levels, how well children behave and focus in school and also the amount of healing and repair that occurs in your body.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$1" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span style="color: blue;">Do you have disturbed sleep? Is it difficult to fall asleep or maybe your problem is waking up in at 2-3am? Do you wake up refreshed in the morning or you are constantly pressing the snooze button?</span></span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$2" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Whatever your sleep story may be, I hear you and sympathize with you. I too struggled with sleep and fatigue for till a couple of years back due to my hormonal issues. I couldn't fall asleep until 1 or 2 a.m. and I couldnt drag myself out of bed in the morning.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$3" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">So I 've lived this situation like you might be experiencing it now, and Im here to tell you, you can fix this with lifestyle changes and paying attention to some laws of nature! Now, I sleep so well just like my daughter and I dont even need an alarm to wake me up in the morning.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$5" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span style="color: blue;">Why is this ideal?</span></span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$6" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Not because your elders told you to do it, but because it syncs perfectly with your adrenal glands production of hormone cortisol. <span style="font-weight: bolder;">Cortisol in the right concentration is actually a big part of what wakes you up in the morning without an alarm clock.</span></span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$7" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">Here is some wisdom and some considerations for quality sleep:</span></h2>
<ul class="canvas-list Pstart(40px) Mt(1.5em) Mb(1.5em) List(d)" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$8" data-type="list" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 1.5em 0px; padding-left: 40px;">
<li data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$8.$list-item-0"><h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">Sleep based on the body's natural design</span></h2>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$9" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Nature designed the earth, the sun, and people to work and function together. We are designed to get up when the sun rises and go to bed shortly after the sun sets. One reason we know this is because, after the sun sets, our body produces melatonin that drips into our spinal cord which makes us sleepy. If you are not outside and you are using fake lighting that stresses and fools the nervous system (tv, video games, cell phones, etc.) then your body may not produce melatonin properly. One reason we have such an insomnia problem is that we use technology and dont live out in the world nature designed for us! Have you ever been camping? My husband went on a Himalayan trek and he pointed out to me how his body aligned to the rhythms of nature and he quickly went to sleep after sunset. This is because you are outside and your body is working based on its natural design.</span></div>
<ul class="canvas-list Pstart(40px) Mt(1.5em) Mb(1.5em) List(d)" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$10" data-type="list" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 1.5em 0px; padding-left: 40px;">
<li data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$10.$list-item-0"><h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">Melatonin or Sleeping pills are not good for you.</span></h2>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$11" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">We live in a synthetic world. Man is recreating nature in a laboratory. Almost all melatonin supplements are made from PETROLEUM. This is why people become dependent on melatonin,continue to increase dosages to get an effect and it causes your own body to stop producing melatonin naturally! This is not a sleep solution, it is becoming drug dependent. Going outside for a walk as the sun sets will help produce melatonin. Sleeping in COMPLETE DARKNESS helps melatonin production too.</span></div>
<ul class="canvas-list Pstart(40px) Mt(1.5em) Mb(1.5em) List(d)" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$12" data-type="list" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 1.5em 0px; padding-left: 40px;">

<span style="color: blue;">Minerals are crucial for sleep</span></h2>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$13" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Magnesium is the #1 mineral deficiency in today's fast paced world. Taking magnesium before bed can calm the nervous system, relax blood vessels and turn off a busy brain. If you have trouble falling asleep, magnesium may become a good friend. Also, a magnesium bath before bed can be great for calming children and getting them prepared for bedtime. Other electrolytes are important as well, which would include calcium, potassium, and sodium.</span></div>
<ul class="canvas-list Pstart(40px) Mt(1.5em) Mb(1.5em) List(d)" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$14" data-type="list" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 1.5em 0px; padding-left: 40px;">

</li>
</ul>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$15" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Taking it easy during the hour before going to be, avoiding over stimulation of the nervous system through computer work or television, can make a big difference. Gently massaging the soles of the feet with a little sesame oil or massage oil can greatly calm the nervous system. This is how you can make overactive children become sleepy, too. It's a great practice to light some candles as the sun sets, and ALL technology in the house can be minimized (this means no bright lights, television, cell phones, computers, etc.) It's an amazing way to disconnect from the modern world and return back to the good old days. it a great way to unwind, relax and connect with our family. Without technology to distract us or entertain us, instead, we can connect with each other by talking, telling stories, reading books or playing games.</span></div>
<ul class="canvas-list Pstart(40px) Mt(1.5em) Mb(1.5em) List(d)" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$16" data-type="list" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 1.5em 0px; padding-left: 40px;">

<span style="color: blue;">Growth hormones are released during sleep, <u>but only if you go to bed on time.</u> Growth hormone is released in the body sometime between 9 p.m and midnight after going to sleep. If you go to bed at midnight or later, you miss it. Again, this is based on how nature designed us to go to sleep after the sun sets.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$18" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">

<span style="color: blue;">Many call it the antiaging hormone. Its what helps young ones to grow strong and for us older ones to stay young! Growth hormone is crucial for the body to heal, repair and grow healthy new cells and tissues.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">You read that right! Man, it seems, was never meant to be woken abruptly, in darkness, by loud, sudden buzzing,beeping, and/or sirentype noises. Rather, our ancestors woke naturally, and gently, each day with the rising of the sun.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$22" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-weight: bolder;">There are different levels of sleep, with the deeper levels (Deep Sleep and REM sleep) being utilized for repairing and rejuvenating your body.</span> The human body is designed to wake up during light sleep, either before entering this repair stage such as during a quick nap or after the deep sleep and REM stages when your body has been repaired and you have returned to a light sleep.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$23" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Waking up during deep sleep leaves you very groggy, very tired, and only partially recovered from the strain and stress of the previous day. This can be felt throughout the day as a sort of hazy fog and sore, tired muscles.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$24" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span style="color: blue;">Sleep is not just a single thing that happens to you at night. There are 5 stages of sleep and over the course of a nights sleep, you cycle through these stages, with each sleep cycle taking approximately 90 minutes.</span></span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$26" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">The traditional alarm clock has a set time to wake you up, but you could be at any stage of sleep when that happens. Nature did not intend for us to wake up during deep sleep.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$27" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">In a study conducted by the National Institute of Industrial Health in Japan, participants who were suddenly forced awake had higher blood pressure and heart rate than those allowed to wake up in their own time.Alarms can also add to your overall stress levels. The sudden noise triggers the bodys protective fight or flight response, pumping up your adrenaline levels. While this might be useful to get you to work on time, if this activated state persists over days, weeks and months, it can lead to chronic stress.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Scientists found that when people were woken during deep sleep, this affected short term memory, cognitive abilities and even counting skills, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association .</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$29" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Waking up naturally is far gentler on the body. Teach yourself to wake up on time by priming your body's internal clock stick to a regular bedtime routine and train yourself to wake at a certain time. Go to bed at the same time every night and allow yourself to sleep until you wake up naturally. No alarm clocks! If you continue to keep the same bedtime and wake up naturally, youll eventually dig your way out of fatigue and arrive at the sleep schedule thats ideal for you.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">The quality of sleep is often determined by what we do during the day. Going to bed with unresolved issues can greatly affect sleep. Making peace with yourself is the key to making peace with others. Conflict arises when we put up some kind of resistance. The resistance is what stresses the nervous system, and puts it on overdrive.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".hkhkmghy5o.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$32" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">My program may give a new perspective and experience of the things bothering your in your life and allow to make peace with that part of you that is in distress. All problems can be resolved. Not necessarily by working on them, but by seeing them from a different angle. Each one is an opportunity for growth and the problem usually, dissipates when the resistance to it goes away as well.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Wouldn’t it be cool to live with a health and nutrition expert? My ex-roomie sure thinks so. Determined not to gain weight even though it’s sweater season, she still asks me every fall which rapid weight loss foods she should make for dinner. And lunch. And breakfast. Oh, and what about her post-workout shake?</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".93xz0uyt1s.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$4" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Fortunately for her, there are many crisp-weather foods to enjoy once the leaves turn—and each one blasts fat with the perfect combination of fiber, protein and heart-healthy nutrients. Read on for the nutritionists’ top picks, load up on that pumpkin and get ready to spoon up some seriously delectable dinners. And to live your happiest and healthiest life ever—summer, spring, winter or fall.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">1. Pumpkin Seed Pesto</span></h2>
<div>

<span style="color: blue;">"Blend [pumpkin seeds] with basil, parm and garlic for a twist on a nut-free pesto,” suggests Rebecca Lewis, RD for HelloFresh, a leading healthy meal kit delivery service. Or, you can toast them and sprinkle onto salads in lieu of toppings. Lewis also suggests adding them to soups for a dose of added protein.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">"Just as the cool weather is coming, if you can drink 4-5 cups a day you may actually not only warm up but speed up your metabolism and even burn more calories (and fat, including belly fat!) in your sleep, thanks to its polyphenol called epigallocatechin-3-gallate, or EGCG,” explain The Nutrition Twins, Lyssie Lakatos, RDN, CDN, CFT and Tammy Lakatos Shames, RDN, CDN, CFT, and authors of The Nutrition Twins’ Veggie Cure. “It also contains the amino acid theanine that brings on a mental alertness and calmness that helps you to make rational decisions, so you can turn down fatty, caloric foods that you’d normally eat due to stress.” Editors at Eat This, Not That! found this to be true: Test panelists on The 7-Day Flat-Belly Tea Cleanse lost up to 10 pounds in one week!</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">"The perfect meld of delectably crispy and bright with fresh flavor, this cruciferous veggie is one of our favorite superfoods. “Roast them with spices and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast,” suggests Julieanna Hever, MS, RD, CPT, a plant-based dietitian and author of <em>The Vegiterranean Diet</em> and <em>The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Plant-Based Nutrition</em>. “They’re excellent weight loss foods because they are loaded with fiber and detoxifying glucosinolates.”</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">“Blend into hummus to turn it a pretty pink,” suggests Lewis. “When boiling beets, add two tablespoons of lemon juice to help them keep their beautiful vibrant color.” Then, when you add them to your chickpea, tahini and olive oil mixture for hummus, you’ll get a stunning, hot pink shade for your final spread. Also, try sneaking beets into your favorite brownies or pancake recipe. “Your kids will have NO idea they are there!”</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Summer may be alllll about those fresh fruits, but autumn is a great time to incorporate dried fruits into your diet. “Dried plums are one of the best natural constipation remedies. A serving of four to five dried plums packs three full grams of fiber,” shares Rebecca Scritchfield, RDN, author of the upcoming book, <em>Body Kindness</em>. “About half of that is insoluble, which helps speed food through the digestive tract. The other half is slow-moving soluble fiber, good for enhancing satiety, lowering cholesterol and regulating blood-sugar levels. They both add up to a very healthy gut.” And trim tummy!</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">“Just when the cooler weather has you craving warm, unhealthy comfort foods, spaghetti squash is one of the best replacements for spaghetti!” exclaim The Nutrition Twins. “It feels like a hearty meal, but one cup only has about 40 calories—more than 75% fewer calories than a cup of plain pasta.” Even better? It’s a good source of fiber, which means it will keep you fuller for longer and help keep belly bloat at bay.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">7. Kiwi</span></h2>

<div>

<span style="color: blue;">“They may be small, but these sweet-tasting fruits contain a hefty amount of actinidin, a natural enzyme unique to kiwifruit that aids in digestion by breaking down protein in the body. Kiwifruit also contains prebiotic fiber, which primes the gut for healthy digestion,” says Scritchfield. “Research indicates that a daily serving of green kiwifruit helps increase bowel movements. So, cut in half, scoop with a spoon, and pop into your mouth like nature’s Tums (SunGold kiwis, with a yellow flesh and tropical taste, offer 3 times the vitamin C of oranges and as much potassium as a medium banana).” Did we mention they’re just hankering for a heavenly breakfast bowl?</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">8. Fennel</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".93xz0uyt1s.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$28" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">“Almost all vegetables are good as they help to move gastric irritants out of the stomach that cause stomach distention and bloat, but fennel, which is in season and best in fall and winter helps ease gas and bloating that make the stomach look distended,” say The Nutrition Twins. “It also is a good source of potassium to help restore normal fluid balance and flush bloat.” Try slicing it raw into salads for a unique flavor profile or roasting it with salt and pepper and a squeeze of citrus. </span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".93xz0uyt1s.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$29" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">9. Mushrooms</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".93xz0uyt1s.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$31" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Game, set, ‘shrooms. As in, time to add a hefty helping of this potent and nutrient-packed fungi to your next meal. Fall’s the perfect time (and the start of their peak season) to sautée them into a tomato-based sauce or roast them until crisp to add as a topping to tasty salads brimming with autumnal bounty (think: squash, pumpkin seeds, massaged kale). “Swapping any of the infinite types of hearty, umami-flavored mushrooms for meat will keep your belly flat due to their very low fat and calorie count and super nutrient profile,” explains Hever.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">“Healthy eating may be triggering gas overload,” offers Scritchfield. “Rice is the only starchy food that does not cause gas, research says.” To keep things healthy, stick to a fist-size portion with your meals.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">11. Winter Squash</span></h2>

<span style="color: blue;">Yes, you can get ‘em in the fall (and should!). “Note: These winter squashes have thicker skins so require longer cook times than summer squash,” says Lewis. The outcome? A tantalizing, roasted veggie side that’s worthy of being an entrée (just stuff with beans, veggies and garlic or herbs for a tasty medley of flavors).</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".93xz0uyt1s.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$38" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">

<span style="color: blue;">“Nature's perfect autumn weight loss food are apples,” says Hever. “Eat them raw, sprinkled with cinnamon, or baked as a seasonal treat. You cannot overeat them, there are myriad varieties as options, and studies show that enjoying an apple before a meal decreases total caloric intake at that meal.”</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".93xz0uyt1s.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$41" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">13. Pistachios</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".93xz0uyt1s.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$43" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Bet you can’t have just one. And that’s okay, pop a handful of these nutrition superstars. “Pistachios are the perfect fall-flat belly food (harvested in early September with harvest lasting approximately six weeks and popular right through the holidays) are our favorite because they have a winning combination of protein, fiber and healthy fats to keep you satisfied throughout the day,” say The Nutrition Twins. In addition to keeping vending machine-cravings in check, the fact that you have to de-shell them, also helps you avoid mindless snacking. “Most snacks with a satisfying crunch also cause stomach irritation and bloat from salt, fat and from digestive distress, not pistachios! Also, their fall hues (green and red-purple colors) come from antioxidants!”</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">These antioxidant-packed powerhouses are perfect to toss into fall soups, stir fries and more. Some ideas: “Massage your kale to help break down the fibers a bit, then sautée it with garlic and olive oil; Blend spinach in your morning smoothie with bananas for a green power breakfast; add swiss chard to your hearty fall soup recipes — it's texture is able to stand up to the longer cook times.”</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">“Hot peppers, one of the greatest weight loss foods of all, are in season in autumn,” offers Hever. “Hot pepper's capsaicin stimulates the metabolism to help you burn more calories.” Crunch-enthusiast?</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".93xz0uyt1s.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$50" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">16. Kefir</span></h2>

<span style="color: blue;">Summer may be all about those slimming frozen desserts, but with fall in full swing? Enter: kefir. “This is like yogurt, but even better because it has more live active cultures to nourish your GI tract so the good bacteria thrive,” says Scritchfield. Worth noting: “Even though it's dairy, kefir is 99% lactose free because the kefir cultures break down lactose so you don't have to!” Try it with your breakfast or as a satisfying post-workout snack.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".93xz0uyt1s.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$53" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">

<span style="color: blue;">And add to that: yams and sweet potatoes. “They’re very low in fat, high in satiating complex carbohydrates and fiber that helps you stay lean and satisfied with delicious, comforting sweetness,” suggests Hever.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".93xz0uyt1s.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$56" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">18. Pumpkin</span></h2>

<span style="color: blue;">If you’re buying it from a can and not fresh, be sure to opt for the unsweetened variety of one of our favorite high fiber foods. “It makes a great, low-calorie dessert, just add cinnamon,” suggest The Nutrition Twins. “Pumpkin is only 40 calories and 5 grams of fiber per half-cup so it will keep your belly lean and flat while the fiber helps to flush unsightly belly bulges from constipation. You can also use pumpkin to replace oil in brownies and butter in other recipes to keep your recipes low-calorie and delicious and your belly flat.” Pumpkin brownies? Don’t mind if we do.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">This citrus fruit is well worth befriending in your autumn routine if you haven’t already. “If you drink alcohol it can cause gas to form in your face and belly. Cut your alcohol in half by swapping a water with lemon between drinks. Try it over ice, sparkling, or hot water with lemon,” suggests Scritchfield. “The vitamin C in lemon helps break down the bloat.” Making fish? “You can also zest [a lemon] and then slice it and add to any fish recipe,” offers Lewis. Green tea with lemon? Even better, you overachiever, you.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">“A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that dieters who ate whole grains lost more belly fat than those who ate refined grains,” say The Nutrition Twins. “Not only is quinoa made from the whole grain, but it contains 11 grams of satisfying protein per half cup to prevent crashing and binging. It’s fiber-rich too, [which helps to] flush wastes and toxins from the colon and flatten the belly.”</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".93xz0uyt1s.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$65" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;"><span style="color: blue;">Oh tomatoes, let us count the ways we love you. “They contain the magical combination of water and potassium, which brings on an instant flat stomach by flushing excess sodium, water and bloat from your body and belly,” explain The Nutrition Twins. “Plus, they’re fiber-packed (goodbye constipation and the puffiness that comes with it!) and super low in calories, so you can eat a lot of them without gaining weight.”</span></span></div>

<span class="large-txt" style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue;">Popping up on Pinterest more than ever before, turmeric is the newest “it” spice among healthy foodies. Here, the tastiest way to harness the spice's superpowers to lose 10 pounds—fast!</span></span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".380ojtvc0c.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$3" data-type="text" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">According to Pinterest’s 2016 Pinsights Flavor Report, the pumpkin spice latte is no longer the coolest kid in school. Not only is it filled with shady ingredients, it's more sugar-coated than a prom queen’s acceptance speech—and the nutrition nerds of the internet (ourselves included) are calling its bluff. If you find it hard to believe that the PSL is falling out of favor, the numbers speak for themselves. Pins of the infamous sugary beverage are down 15 percent, while a healthy yet comforting newcomer is quickly becoming the most popular beverage on the social sharing site. And yes, that newcomer is none other than the turmeric latte, a milk and spice-filled beverage that some fans refer to as golden milk. According to the report, pins for turmeric lattes are up a whopping 99 percent, with users saving twice as many turmeric latte pins than its sugary, caffeinated rival.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".380ojtvc0c.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$4" data-type="text" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">Although golden milk may look like a PSL on the outside, when it comes to what it can do for you on the inside, it totally smokes the seasonal beverage. Unlike the Starbucks favorite, turmeric lattes aren’t golden because of potentially cancerous additives like caramel coloring; instead, the spice’s main antioxidant, curcumin, lends the drink its rich amber color as well as all of its amazing health and weight loss benefits. One USDA study discovered that mice supplemented with turmeric experienced reduced weight gain and body fat levels even when their diet was unchanged. And if that wasn’t impressive enough, numerous other reports have connected consumption of the spice to everything from reduced inflammation to improved brainpower.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".380ojtvc0c.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$5" data-type="text" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.01em;"><span style="color: blue;">So next time a colorful PSL ad tries to lure you into Starbucks, be kind to your wallet and waistline and cozy up on the couch with a turmeric latte instead. To make one, combine your milk of choice (we like coconut milk or organic 2%) with a teaspoon of dried turmeric. Bring the two to a low simmer and then add in other tasty seasonings like cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a chai spice blend, to taste. Sipping your way slim has never been easier— or tastier!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Construction workers discovered a giant snake measuring 33-feet (10-metre) long at a construction site in Brazil. The giant anaconda, weighing 400 kg, was found after an explosion was carried out in the Cave of Altamira located in the Brazilian state of Pará.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">A video, which was recorded by the construction worker, shows the snake's giant body that will remind you of the movie Anaconda, starring Jennifer Lopez and Jon Voight. The snake's body measures one metre in diameter.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.04px;"><span style="color: blue;">To keep their jobs, there are some things flight attendants just can't tell passengers, even if they want to.</span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">But some of these things, while perhaps controversial, could end up being a service to fliers or flight attendants, if only someone would just tell passengers.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">So we asked flight attendants everywhere to weigh in on the one thing they'd love to tell passengers but can't, and more than 60 shared their insights.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="color: blue;">"You're venting, which is fine. But it won't change anything. Speak to the folks who make the decisions and the big bucks. We didn't choose the wifi system. We didn't choose the leg room. We didn't choose to charge for certain things. I'd love to have it all free and roomy and completely reliable!"</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Twitter is rumoured to be on sale and several technology giants are said to have expressed interest for a take-over. The apparent reasons for this development are losses amounting to millions of dollars annually, apart from depreciating growth as far as users are concerned.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".j4r2451d64.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$2" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">The micro-blogging site is said to have initiated discussions with various technology companies, including Google Inc. for a sell-out, Reuters reported, quoting anonymous sources from CNBC. Google is also said to be the frontrunner for securing the bid to buy Twitter. </span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".j4r2451d64.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$3" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">American cloud-computing company Salesforce.com is also among the likely candidates, who have initiated negotiations for the purchase. American wireless service provider Verizon was until recently being viewed as a potential buyer of Twitter but the company has stated that it was yet to submit bids.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".j4r2451d64.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$4" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">However, analysts seem to share a different view as far as Google and Salesforce are concerned. "From a strategic standpoint, we think it would be more beneficial for Alphabet as opposed to Salesforce," an analyst at Independent Investment Research firm Morningstar said. Alphabet was founded in October 2015 by Google's Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who are the Alphabet CEO and president, respectively.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".j4r2451d64.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$5" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">

<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$0" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">London [England], Sept. 23 (ANI): In a first of its kind, a new type of synthetic alcohol has been discovered which would allow people to booze and get tipsy without leaving any signs of hangover that usually follows.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$1" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">According to its creator Professor David Nutt, the drink is known as 'alcosynth' and is designed to mimic the positive effects of alcohol but it doesn't cause a dry mouth, nausea and a throbbing head.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$2" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Nutt told The Independent he has patented around 90 different alcosynth compounds.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$3" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Two of them are now being rigorously tested for widespread use and by 2050 alcosynth could completely replace normal alcohol.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$4" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">"It will be there alongside the scotch and the gin, they'll dispense the alcosynth into your cocktail and then you'll have the pleasure without damaging your liver and your heart. They go very nicely into mojitos. They even go into something as clear as a Tom Collins. One is pretty tasteless, the other has a bitter taste," he said.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$5" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">By researching substances that work on the brain in a similar way to alcohol, Nutt and his team have been able to design a drug which they say is non-toxic and replicates the positive effects of alcohol.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$6" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">"We know a lot about the brain science of alcohol; it's become very well understood in the last 30 years. So, we know where the good effects of alcohol are mediated in the brain, and can mimic them. And by not touching the bad areas, we don't have the bad effects," he said.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$7" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Advocates of alcosynth believe it could revolutionize public health by relieving the burden of alcohol on the health service.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$8" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Early experiments into alcosynth used a derivative of benzodiazepine, the same class of drugs as Valium.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$9" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Nutt said his new drinks did not contain benzodiazepine and their formulas would remain a closely guarded, patented secret.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$10" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">However, the huge cost of funding research into the drug and regulatory concerns mean it could be a long time before people can order an alcosynth cocktail at their local pub.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$11" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Nutt, who was sacked from his position as the government drugs tsar in 2009 after he claimed taking ecstasy was less dangerous than riding a horse, said he was unsure if the use of synthetic alcohol would be restricted by the new Psychoactive Substances Act, which came into force in May.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$12" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">"It's an interesting idea, but too much in its infancy at the moment for us to comment on," a Department of Health spokesperson told.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$13" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Adding, "I don't think we'd give money to it until it was a little further along. If [Nutt] were to apply for funding, it would go through the process of everything else and would be judged on its merits."</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$14" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">According to Nutt, the effects of alcosynth last around a couple of hours, the same as traditional alcohol.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$15" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">He and his team have also managed to limit the effects of drinking a lot of alcosynth, so in theory it would be impossible to ever feel too 'drunk'.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$16" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">"We think the effects round out at about four or five 'drinks', then the effect would max out," he said.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$17" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Adding, "We haven't tested it to destruction yet, but it's safer than drinking too much alcohol. With clever pharmacology, you can limit and put a ceiling on the effects, so you can't ever get as ill or kill yourself, unlike with drinking a lot of vodka."</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$18" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Researcher Guy Bentley, who worked on a new report into alcosynth regulation and hoped to persuade the government to accept the drug as a way of reducing the harm caused by alcohol.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".22olcu610m0.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$19" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">"[The report] is trying to spark what happened with e-cigarettes and tobacco, but with alcohol, Nutt has been experimenting on this for a long time, but I thought to myself - 'where is it?' I wanted my hangover-free booze," he said. (ANI)</span></div>

<span class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 14.04px;">When it comes to writing up a résumé,</span><span style="font-size: 14.04px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14.04px;">there's a lot that can go wrong</span><span style="font-size: 14.04px;">.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">However, there's a difference between an annoying error that'll hurt your chances and a mistake that'll get your CV tossed out the nearest open window.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Business Insider consulted three career experts to identify the worst mistakes people make.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Résumé Writers' Ink founder Tina Nicolai, Chameleon Résumé managing director Lisa Rangel, andFive Strengths CEO Amy Adler revealed that these are the three biggest errors you can make on a résumé:</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">1. Sloppy presentation and writing</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Nicolai previously told Business Insider that she has seen too many résumés with typos, unprofessional fonts, and outdated and irrelevant information.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"Another 'lazy' thing I see on résumés is when people start a bullet point with 'Responsible for,'" she says.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"Candidates need to understand that starting a sentence with 'responsible for' tells the reader what the job requirements were supposed to be, but it does not state that the candidate actually performed the functions," Nicolai says. "It does not state that the candidate was successful in these functions. Don't be lazy: Take the extra few minutes to explain what you accomplished — not what you were expected to accomplish."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14.04px;"><b><span style="color: blue;">2. Forgetting about LinkedIn</span></b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Rangel says that the worst error you can make doesn't necessarily have to be on paper.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1474722438785_1294" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"The worst mistake I often see on the résumé is actually off the résumé," Rangel says. "It is not syncing the résumé with your LinkedIn profile and, as a result, conveying two different, often conflicting, messages of what position you want and who you are as a candidate."</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1474722438785_1294" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14.04px;"><b><span style="color: blue;">3. Cramming too much information in</span></b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Less <em>is</em> oftentimes more. Adler says that one of the worst things you can do is try to fit too much experience onto one page.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14.04px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: blue;">"The résumé lists every position for the person’s entire career history, perhaps 20 or 30 years, and it only describes what the person was 'responsible for' — no focus, no accomplishments, and no description of what the candidate could uniquely bring to the position," Adler says. "I've seen these in rambling narratives as well as in death-by-bullet-point formats."</span></div>

Green colour is obtained from a paste of fresh green chilies and herbs, and red, as the colour suggests, is made from dried long red chilies combines with other herbs. Hence red curry is spicier.

<span style="color: blue;">New York, Sep 20 (IANS): Although you will still type in 140 characters but from now, you can add photos, videos, GIFs and polls and these will not count against the 140-character limit.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".o0mrro40eq.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$1" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">"Say more about what's happening! Rolling out now: photos, videos, GIFs, polls, and 'Quote Tweets' no longer count toward your 140 characters," Twitter said in a post on Tuesday.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".o0mrro40eq.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$2" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">According to The Verge, the micro-blogging website is also testing out new replies that will omit usernames of the people you are replying to from the character limit.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".o0mrro40eq.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$3" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">If you reply to multiple people at once, Twitter omits all of them from your tweet.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".o0mrro40eq.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$4" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Earlier this year, Twitter planned to build a new feature that will allow users to tweet longer than its traditional 140-character limit.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".o0mrro40eq.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$5" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">The company considered a 10,000-character limit. This is the character limit the company uses for its Direct Messages product.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".o0mrro40eq.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$6" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Later, the company said there is still time for you to tweet in 10,000 characters and its original 140-character limit is here to stay.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".o0mrro40eq.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$7" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Appearing on a TV show, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said that the 140-character limit is "a beautiful constraint" and that Twitter "will never lose that feeling".</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".o0mrro40eq.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$8" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">The 140-character limit has been around as long as Twitter has and has become part of the product's personality.</span></div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".o0mrro40eq.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$9" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">

<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$6" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">BASIC FREEZING TIPS</span></h2>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$8" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">1. Freezer Temperature</span></h2>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$10" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">It may seem obvious, but ensure that your freezer is set at 0° Fahrenheit in order to best retain the flavor, texture, color, and micronutrient content of the food. This temperature may be off if your power has gone out recently, if the freezer has accidentally been left open for a long period of time, or if you tend to store piping hot food in it often.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$11" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">2. What Tools You'll Need</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$13" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">The container you use to store your food depends on the food it is you'll be freezing. Sandwiches and wraps can be rolled up in aluminum foil and plastic wrap, berries can be kept in plastic zip-top bags, pesto can be kept in plastic cups, stock in ice cube trays, meal-prep meals in plastic take-out containers, and casseroles in foil baking containers. If you really want to hop on the freezer bandwagon, invest in a vacuum sealer. Removing as much air as possible from your food before freezing it protects the food from freezer burn and flavor deterioration.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$14" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">3. Chill Before Freezing</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$16" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Here's where things get tricky: you want to chill your food as quickly after cooking as possible to maintain the best quality—but at the same time, you can't just shove it in the freezer right away because the heat from the food can raise the temperature of the freezer and cause other foods to defrost. The best way to do it is by placing your warm food in a shallow, wide container, and then putting it in the fridge uncovered until it's cool, and finally transferring it into your freezer.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$17" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">4. Wrap Food Tightly</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$19" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">The easiest way to avoid freezer burn is by ensuring your food is wrapped as tightly as possible and has the most air removed as possible from the packaging. Adjust your containers as necessary. If you only have a cup of soup, don't try to fit it in a quart plastic container. Instead, pour it into a zip-top bag and flatten.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$20" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">5. Think About Portion Control</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$22" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">This is one of the most essential tips: freeze your food in realistically-sized portions! Because you can't refreeze once you've defrosted, you'll end up either having to eat 5 pounds of steak in three days, or waste it.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$23" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">6. Be Sure To Date!</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$25" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Label, label, label! You'll keep your freezer more organized and make it easier on yourself when you know when a food is past its prime. At least mark the date on which you made the food, and if you really want to make it easy on yourself, mark down the expiration date as well using the storage times we'll list below.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$26" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">7. Freeze Food At Peak Freshness</span></h2>

<span style="color: blue;">8. Defrost Properly Before Reheating</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$31" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">The USDA cautions that perishable foods should never be thawed on the counter or in hot water. They also should not be left at room temperature for more than two hours. The issue is that although the food is frozen on the inside, the outer layer is exposed to room temperature—the temperature where bacteria rapidly multiply. They recommend thawing frozen food in the refrigerator, where it will remain at a constant temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below. Allow five hours of defrosting time for every pound of food. Foods can also be thawed in cold water (which should be changed every 30 minutes) or in the microwave; both methods require the food to be cooked immediately upon defrosting, though.</span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$34" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Amid fears of exploding glass when containers are taken from freezer to oven, many people avoid the container completely when freezing. Don't worry! If you take cautionary steps, glass can be used to freeze your favorite foods. Just remember that liquids expand when they're frozen, so be sure to freeze using the following steps to prevent broken glass: pour soup, chili, or broth into a jar being sure to stop pouring around 2 inches from the top (to allow for expansion). Cool overnight in the fridge, then place in the freezer uncovered (be sure you can lay it flat). Once the liquid is solid, you can add lids and label with the date.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">10. Try Not To Refreeze Thawed Food</span></h2>

<span style="color: blue;">Sticking to this rule is usually the best way to go. Although food that was frozen and thawed properly can actually be refrozen without fear of bacterial contamination, it's often best not to. That's because the process of freezing, thawing, and refreezing degrades the texture, color, and taste of many foods, which can make them less appetizing.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">These foods don't hold up well when chilled to freezing temps: raw and hard boiled eggs, high-water-content produce—like lettuce, potatoes, apples, cucumbers, sprouts, radishes, citrus, and watermelon—soft herbs, dairy products (like yogurt, cream cheese, cottage cheese, and milk) can separate, and anything carbonated.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Frozen fruit isn't just great for your wallet—it's also better for your health! While expensive fresh berries are prone to growing mold more quickly than frozen fruit, they also happen to be less nutritious. That's because fruit that is frozen is picked when they're ripe and then immediately frozen and stored. On the other hand, fresh berries' nutrients will degrade over the weeks of shipping time. Plus, some studies have found that the freezing process actually helps to increase the amount of free-radical-fighting antioxidants in the fruit by allowing ice crystals to pierce through cell walls, releasing the bioactive compounds. Most fruit is ok to store, just refrain from freezing watermelon, citrus fruits, apples, and grapes (unless you like snacking on them frozen!).</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">We're talking about low-moisture veggies like carrots, broccoli, corn, and peas. Produce like lettuce, cucumbers, sprouts, celery, peppers, onions, and potatoes should not be kept in the freezer because they're too high in water content.

<span style="color: blue;">Nothing livens up a dish quite like fresh herbs but going out to the store every time you're in need of fresh basil can get tedious—and expensive. If you've already taken the step of growing your own plants but the winter frost is slowly approaching, don't let your plants go to waste—freeze them! We tell you our favorite way how below!</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Cook once and eat for the whole week with these frozen oatmeal cups. Because taking 45 minutes every morning to stir up some steel cut oats just isn't plausible, this technique comes in handy for those of us who like getting our daily dose of insoluble fiber.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Fresh herbs can be kept for up to 12 months in the freezer with the proper storage! Either blend the herbs into a pesto or chop them up and mix with oil. Both pesto and herbs can be poured into an ice cube tray to allow to freeze. (Once frozen, you can transfer to a plastic bag.) This way, the herbs can easily be taken out and used in whatever recipe you need! Just note that storing herbs on their own cause them to turn brown, so we recommend keeping them in a little bit of oil.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">If you've ever mistakenly frozen a whole package of chicken breasts to only realize you'll have to defrost the entire chicken ice cube to get one piece, you know how important freezing by portions is. For chicken, breasts can be sliced in half and individually frozen on a baking sheet before placing into a single zip-top bag. The same goes for steak or pork chops. Ground beef can be added to a zip top bag and then divided into portions by pressing with a chopstick or wooden spoon. Always defrost meat a day in advance in the refrigerator—not at room temperature where bacteria can grow.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Make your own homemade bone broth to reap its restorative benefits. Animal bones are a great source of collagen and simmering them in broth helps to extract and break down this compound into anti-inflammatory gelatin. "When we ingest it, it acts as an intestinal Band-Aid, protecting and healing the lining of the digestive tract which aids digestion and helps us absorb extra nutrients from the foods we eat," explains Lauren Slayton, MS, RD. Make your own at home by simmering grass-fed beef bones in water for a few hours. Add some apple cider vinegar and pour into an ice cube tray. Whenever you're looking for a warm cup, pop a couple out into a mug and heat in the microwave!</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">30. Chill Your Unbaked Dough</span></h2>
</div>

<span style="color: blue;">Whether it's phyllo or pie dough, puff pastry, or leftover cookie dough, all these unbaked doughs can be frozen for a month if it has raw eggs or three months if it's eggless. Even pizza dough can be chilled! Just spray the dough with a bit of oil, seal in a plastic bag and freeze (while being sure to squeeze out all the air beforehand). When you want to bake it, allow it to thaw in the fridge overnight, and then pull out 30 minutes before you plan on baking it to allow it to come to room temperature.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Need some healthy breakfast ideas? Why not make some egg sandwiches or egg and bean burritos to store in your freezer? Cooked egg dishes can be stored in your freezer for one to two months and make the best breakfasts for hectic mornings.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$117" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">32. Blend Up A Compound Butter</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$119" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Keeping a couple different compound butters in your freezer is a great way to cut down on meal prep time. All you have to do is throw a stick of unsalted, softened butter in a food processor with your favorite herbs (thyme, rosemary, and chives go perfectly with steak; parsley, oregano, and garlic make a delicious garlic bread; and lemon zest, parsley, and garlic are great for shrimp), season with salt and pepper, and roll in plastic wrap to form a freezable log. We recommend using grass-fed butter, because it's teeming with anti-inflammatory healthy fats, such as omega-3s and CLA.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$120" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">33. Keep Some Casseroles</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$122" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Here's another meal prep savior. We love making lasagnas, casseroles, and other freezer meals on Sunday and freezing until we're ready to heat them up later in the week. Just know that uncooked dishes will last about a month in your freezer while cooked dishes last three months. Here's a tip we learned from <em>The Kitchn</em>: assemble your casserole or lasagna in an aluminum-foil-lined baking dish and place in the freezer. Once frozen solid, you can easily slip the food out of the dish so you can save space by not having to store the bulky dish. When you're ready to cook, just transfer to the fridge (and put back in the baking tray) to defrost a day in advance, then bake as directed.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".2amsdna0ro4.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.2.$123" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">34. Meatballs Are A Must</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;">We love meatballs so much, we also included them in our </span>Flat Belly Meal Plan for a Healthy Week<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px;">. Roll up some lean turkey meatballs on a Sunday, refrigerate until cool, freeze on a baking tray (to keep them from sticking together in the bag), and then transfer to a plastic zip-top bag once chilled. Pull them out to add a boost of protein to your meal whenever the only thing left in your pantry is a box of pasta.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">1. <span style="font-weight: bolder;">Diabetes is contagious.</span></span></h2>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1kqp0qq2eza.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$1" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are disease of metabolism and are not contagious. Person cannot contract diabetes by contact with a person with diabetes.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1kqp0qq2eza.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$2" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">2. <span style="font-weight: bolder;">All people with diabetes need insulin injections.</span></span></h2>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1kqp0qq2eza.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$3" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Whether or not a person with diabetes needs insulin injections depends on many factors, including the type of diabetes a person has. All people with type 1 diabetes need insulin and, later in the course of condition, many people with type 2 diabetes also have to use insulin to achieve target blood glucose levels.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1kqp0qq2eza.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$4" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">3.<span style="font-weight: bolder;">Once a person with diabetes starts insulin therapy, it can never be stopped and can never return to oral therapy.</span></span></h2>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1kqp0qq2eza.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$5" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">This is true of people with type 1 diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes may need to take insulin for short length of time, such as during a period of stress, during an illness, infection or surgery, or when taking particular medications. However, as their own insulin production from the pancreas decreases over time, people with type 2 diabetes can also benefit from insulin in the longer term.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1kqp0qq2eza.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$6" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">4. <span style="font-weight: bolder;">People with diabetes cannot eat sugar, but pure honey is not harmful.</span></span></h2>
<div class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1kqp0qq2eza.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$7" data-type="text" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.01em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: blue;">Both honey and sugar can be taken in moderation in the diet of a person with diabetes, but people using insulin must remember to count them as part of their carbohydrate allowance.</span></div>
<h2 class="canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom" data-reactid=".1kqp0qq2eza.$tgtm-Col1-0-ContentCanvas.0.4.0:$8" data-type="text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.5em 0px 1em; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="color: blue;">5. <span style="font-weight: bolder;">Women with diabetes should not have babies-its too risky.</span></span></h2>
