1.- Day one, write down all the calories you eat in that day. Keep the number because is crucial to keep track of the calories you are ingesting during that day. Weight yourself and keep record of it as you will compare it with the weight you will achieve the next week. 

2.- The following day, cut down your daily intake by 500 calories of the total you had eaten the day before, and during the week, keep off the 500 Calories every day. It is important you cut more in carbs and fats than in fruits and veggies. Decreasing 500 Calories per day, results in 3500 Calories that your body will not stored, so in one week you will lose at least one pound of fat, which equals 3500 calories. 

3.- Split your three main meals into 5 smaller meals. Eating 5 smaller meals will accelerate your metabolism, and you will lose extra weight over  the cutting of the 500 calories.  But remember, the rule is "smaller meals". For example if you eat for breakfast eggs, orange juice with 2 slices or bread and jam, break it down and eat the eggs and orange juice and later eat 1 slice of bread with the jam. (remember you have to cut 500 Calories as well). 

4.- Increase your physical activity, preferable cardio exercises for example one hour walking or do some jogging or swim at least 30 minutes during  3 to 5 times a week. More you exercise, more weight you are going to lose. 

5.- Weight yourself the last day of the week. You will notice a big difference. If you stick to the plan, you will lose at least 3 pounds of weight, if you did less, like cheating or you did not exercise can be less, maybe just one, if you cut in Carbohydrates you will lose also water that your body storage when we eat them which can increase you total of weight loss.  But if you stick to change your life following this easy tips, You will keep losing weight in rate of 4 to 6 pounds per month and which makes at least 48 pounds per month.

The risk to develop cervical cancer is five times higher in women that do not go under medical tests as the pap smear and colposcopy. In the world, a woman dies every two minutes cause this disease.

The causes of cervix cancer are in  reality correlated to the previous development of  HPV. This Virus is related to the developing of cervical cancer. And what is HPV? HPV is a virus that is considered a STD (Sexual Transmitted Diseases). The rate of women that will suffer of this disease once in their  life is about 80%. There are a hundred of HPV types, but some of them are dangerous to get. We are talking about the ones that can develop cervical cancer and the types are 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, and 73. These high-risk types of HPV cause growths on the cervix that are usually flat and nearly invisible, as compared with the external warts caused by low-risk types HPV–6 and HPV–11.

It is also known that many of the HPV kinds will be washed from the body, because the immune system mechanism of defense, but we have to take a closer look in case we got the cancer-cause kind. Our duty with our bodies is to be checked every year, and keep a closer look to our health.

Sleep bra

For many years, many articles will point as links of breast cancer diet and not practicing exercise as some of the most important causes of breast cancer.

When the Brand and breast Cancer Studio, revealed that breast  cancer patients had a history of use of tight bras and wore them a for a longer period of time comparing with women that did not develop the disease. Women with breast cancer used to wear the bras more than 12 hours per day.

The relation of tight bras and breast cancer can be explained while using a tight bra, the breast is oppressed and the liquids in the breast start to accumulate instead of keep the circulation to the lymphatic nodes, and it is when the tissue gets softer and the chance to get tumors increase. This is because our body eliminates toxins through the lymphatic system but the breast being oppressed cannot eliminate the toxins, cannot clean itself and woman get all the bad stuff accumulate in the breast.

However, there are brands that offer bras designed as sleep bra, and which ones are loose and comfortable and they do not have the under wire., of course this is for women that just do not feel comfortable sleeping without bra, as the breast can be deform. So it is up to up to and please  avoid sleeping with tie bra.

Many  people is suffering of insomnia or experiencing problems trying to fall asleep. Here are some tips that will help you to sleep good:

First, you have to get a good mattress, a mattress that makes your body feel comfortable, soft for your body and at the same time firm that can support your spine. The ones made of memory foam are excellent.

Try to have dinner at least 3 or 4 hours before going to bed, avoid caffeine and carbonate drinks. Exercise and alcohol can increase your activity, so it can make harder conceive sleep. Avoid them at least 2 hours before you go to bed.

Choose a good position to sleep, back, or on your side. If you have back problems, place pillow under your knees in case you sleep on your back and between your knees if you do it on your side. This will help to keep your spine not tense while you lying down.

Do not use computer, or read e-books or watch TV, one hour before you go to bed. If you want to relax and fall asleep faster, you can drink warm milk or  eat just lettuce ( this is the only food allow).

Eat calories

If your want to know how to eat calories here it goes the solution:

The only way to eat calories is stop eating fatty food and change your lifestyle.  Your body is going to start eating all the fat  in it. When you stop suppling fatty food, your body will crave for it and it will start eating it from your body.

If you keep  your body active like making healthier choices as  walking instead of driving, jogging and practicing some sport during the weekends, it can be helpful to a  diet reduced in fats  and will help to stabilize  your metabolism to  not get stuck in the elimination of the body fat.

My recommendation is add to your diet food that can fulfill your hunger, as lettuce salad but not with ranch or caesar dressing, instead you can use vinagrette or lime/lemon juice.

Look to eat at least 5 vegetables/fruits per day but be careful when  you chose them. Some fruits can have many calories so try to avoid them, for example avocado, mangoes or bananas. Better try apples, cucumber, carrots, all green leaves plants, watermelon, grapes.

Your have to give food to your muscles, so you have to eat proteins everyday which will help to keep burning fat. But you have to be smart and make the right choices. You must eat lean meat like chicken breast or any  kind of beef without fat.  Avoid all deep fried food.

Keep your body hydrated so please drink 2 liters of water everyday so you can eliminate the fat through the urine. As a woman, I widely recommend you to keep drinking Milk, a glass of SKIM MILK everyday and one glass of orange juice. Between meals,  if you feel hungry try to eat an apple to fill your anxiety for eating.

Instead of eggs, you can buy in the supermarket eggwhites and they really help you to cut some calories in the breakfast, and instead of bacon try to eat turkey breast and do not forget to eat one slice of  multi-grain bread to give you energy.

Drink Green Tea (withing the 2 lts of water consumption per day), that helps you to keep awake in case your sugar levels go down and you feel down, because your are cutting all the bad stuff from your body.

There are many ways how to chance you lifestyle. If you can stop buying fast-food you will be able to save money and to eat healthier! So do it! If I did it you can do it too! In the end you will get used to this new life.

The hard part comes the first week. After that you will notice results and you will stick to your new lifestyle.

Fat abs

Your health depends of the kind of belly you have. Men storage fat in their middles and the studies show that concentration of fat in the abs increases significantly the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some types of cancer.

The issue  with fat abs starts when the fat is storage not just in the abs but between the visceral tissue/organs which increases the risk of inflammation in the body. 

This is why it is very important get rid off the abdominal fat. First step is paying attention in the diet. Avoid Trans-fats. Look for  your basal metabolism and how many calories you are suppose to eat according with your size and weight, and try to burn calories at least 400 Kcal, 5 times per week, so you are going to be able to eliminate that visceral fat from your body and keep your health for longer time. 

Sodium daily

The recommended sodium daily intake is less than 2300 milligrams of sodium, which is equivalent that is less than a teaspoon of salt.

It is extremely important that every individual take care of the consumption of sodium because an excess of this substance in the body increases the rate of high blood pressure, retainment of water and can increase heart disease.

Always read the total of sodium in the canned products as well packed ones. Try to buy the products that have written in the labels low sodium or sodium free. At home you must taste the food before start shaking the salt over the food before trying it. A good substitute of salt is spices, you can add black pepper, herbs, lemon, lime juice, ginger, garlic, onion, wine to avoid the use of salt.

You will taste the difference of the food without salt and you will appreciate much better the natural taste of the food.

Orange juice

The benefit of drinking orange juice is that it boosts our immune system because it contains water and lots of fiber as well beta-carotene which our body converts in Vitamin C and helps to protect the collagen of our skin, and help us to improve our digestive system.

The best is to drink a glass of orange juice every morning but natural. Drink the juice of 4 oranges in the morning right after you squeeze it because the beta-carotenes disappear after a few minutes from the standing orange juice, because the Vitamin C is very sensitive to oxidation. So hurry up and do not waste the chance to drink a flavorful drink to be refreshed and healthy everyday.
