Lose Belly Fat!

Many of us women and men have this common issue which is the infamous BELLY FAT! And what a lot of people are unaware of is that having belly fat is DANGEROUS to your health! People with big bellies (excluding pregnant women) are at high risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, less energy, less testosterone levels, lowered libido and more. Thanks to the super-sized, over processed American diet, many are suffering from these health issues. However we can beat these health issues by taking the proper measures and being CONSISTENT with them.

After watching the Dr. Oz show today I took some notes about a power ingredient which helps to eliminate belly fat. What ingredient is that? SAFFLOWER! You can take safflower in 3 forms:

1. Safflower Oil- You can cook with this oil and pour some on your salad

2. Safflower Supplement- Take 6 grams a day or as recommended by your doctor or on supplement bottle

3. Safflower Tea- Excellent for eliminating belly fat, heart health and keeps your arteries flexible and unclogged

Note: The best Safflower Oil to use is the one that says "High in Polyunsaturated Fats".

Another thing you MUST do is exercise! There's a technique that many people use which has been very effective and I have used this technique myself! There's a vaseline-like product called Albolene which is really a makeup remover that keeps your skin moisurized after removing the makeup. All you have to do is apply a generous amount of it on your belly or anywhere else on your body that has fat, then put about 4 layers of saran wrap on it along with a body wrap/sweat belt. And then workout! This technique will help you sweat in this area, helping you burn the fat faster. IT WORKS!!

Are You An Earth Angel?

Characteristics of Earth Angels:

There are so many Earth Angels and light workers amongst us that have incarnated to help this beautiful world we live in at this crucial time in our history.

However, most people are unaware that they are one! Here are some characteristics that may help you recognize yourself…

1. Feeling different, separate or alienated from other people

Almost all earth angels feel different from other people, that they don’t fit in. This is usually from childhood and for many carries on into adulthood

2. Having intense sensitivity to other people, harsh chemicals and violence of any form

Most often earth angels are told ‘you are just too sensitive!’. They find it difficult in crowds, feeling bombarded with other people emotions and they repel violence of any form. This sensitivity is a gift, enabling them to intuitively know where there services are needed.

3. A strong sense of purpose or calling

Even if they don’t what it is! Most earth angels have a sense that their mission is involved in helping and teaching others.

4. History of frustrating relationship patterns

Most earth angels are born to abusive or emotionally unavailable parents and can have a hard upbringing. They may attract abusive friends or partners. Earth angels sign up for challenging family situations so that they can progress extra fast in this lifetime. A strong commitment to understand and heal this pattern can break this spell in subsequent relationships.

5. Strangers telling them their problems and/or personal information

Most often they are told ‘There is just something about you I can trust…’

6. Looking younger than their chronological years

This is an added bonus! Maybe it’s due to the fact that Earth Angels take better care of themselves overall or maybe it’s their spiritual outlook!

7. History of personal or familial addictions

Whether its food, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs or relationships etc, many Earth Angels turn to outside substances or influences to numb the pain of feeling different, being intimidated of their lives mission and put it on a back burner.

8. Ringing sound in one ear

Not all but most Earth Angels notice a high pitched ringing sound in one ear. This is in fact encoded information downloaded from the Earth Angel’s realm to help them rise above earthly problems and includes instructions and guidance for their mission.

Earth Angels are here to part an important part in healing this beautiful world we live in by helping, teaching or healing and using their unique gifts and talents. By first recognizing that you are one can help empower you to follow your higher purpose and part your vital role in this life.

Everyone on earth has come from the same Divine source, however Earth Angels may have spent time in other heavenly realms and not everyone is an Earth Angel of course! They are here living purely for their own growth, rest and enjoyment.

Are You Eating Enough 'Powerhouse' Vegetables?

Watercress, Chinese cabbage, chard and beet greens are among the most nutrient-dense "powerhouse" vegetables, packing a huge dose of vitamins and minerals into every calorie, a new study reports.

At the same time, don't expect to receive huge amounts of nutrition from raspberries, tangerines, garlic or onions, the findings suggest.

National nutrition guidelines emphasize consumption of powerhouse fruits and vegetables, which are strongly associated with reduced risk of chronic disease.

But until now, the study author noted, nutritional value of veggies hasn't been ranked in a way that would show which best qualify as nutrient-dense powerhouse foods.

 For the report, Jennifer Di Noia, an associate professor of sociology at William Paterson University in Wayne, N.J., crafted a list based on the nutritional density of fruits and vegetables, using data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

"Higher-ranking foods provide more nutrients per calories," Di Noia said. "The scores may help focus consumers on their daily energy needs, and how best to get the most nutrients from their foods. The rankings provide clarity on the nutrient quality of the different foods and may aid in the selection of more nutrient-dense items within the powerhouse group."

Di Noia calculated the nutrition contained in 47 fruits and veggies, finding that all but six met the criteria as a powerhouse food.

Cruciferous and dark green leafy vegetables dominate the top 10. They are, in order, watercress, Chinese cabbage, chard and beet greens, followed by spinach, chicory, leaf lettuce, parsley, romaine lettuce and collard greens.

All the top vegetables contain high levels of B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin K, iron, riboflavin, niacin and folate -- nutrients that help protect people against cancer and heart disease, the researcher noted.

These leafy vegetables taking the top powerhouse spots "makes sense," said Lauri Wright, a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

"They have a lot of the B-vitamins and a lot of fiber in the leaves," said Wright. "If you think about plants, that's where they store their nutrients. Those green leafy vegetables have a lot of minerals and vitamins and fiber in those leaves, and very few calories.

"People who chop off the leafy part of vegetables such as celery, carrots or beets are "actually cutting away some very good nutrients," said Wright, an assistant professor at the University of South Florida College of Public Health in Tampa.

The six fruits and vegetables that didn't make the list as powerhouse foods are raspberries, tangerines, cranberries, garlic, onions and blueberries. While all contain vitamins and minerals, they are not densely packed with important nutrients, the study said.

The full list is published June 5 in the journal Preventing Chronic Disease.

 Folks will get good nutrition from the powerhouse veggies whether they eat them raw or cook them, as long as they don't boil them, Wright said.

"Fresh, you have 100 percent of the vitamins and minerals," she said. "When you cook it, you might lose a small percentage, but it's not significant."

Boiling, however, can drain veggies of B-vitamins, vitamin C and other nutrients, Di Noia and Wright said.

Cooks who choose to boil spinach or collard greens should save the nutrient-rich water, either including a little with each serving or re-using the water in sauces or soups, Di Noia said.

Wright agreed. "We encourage you to use the liquid. If you have a bowl of green beans, have some of the liquid with your serving of beans," she said.

Health Benefits of Cinnamon

I learned that cinnamon has wonderful and surprising benefits for our health! Not only does it taste great in our desserts but it's also great for the health. It is known to be excellent for Diabetics in that it regulates blood sugar. Cinnamon is sold in pill form, in teabags, in powder form and in its natural bark form. I must say that the tea tastes excellent! It is naturally sweet so no need to add sugar. Here are a couple more health benefits that cinnamon posesses:

1. The spice's aroma has been said to boost mood, cognitive function and memory. Specifically, notes the website World's Healthiest Foods: "cinnamon improved participants' scores on tasks related to attentional processes, virtual recognition memory, working memory, and visual-motor speed while working on a computer-based program."

2. It may lower blood sugar in individuals with diabetes. It can also help stabilize blood sugar, which assists in weight loss, so if you adore the flavor, add a dash to your morning cereal or cup of coffee each morning. With any luck, your hunger hunger and sugar cravings will be reduced throughout the day.

3. Just half a teaspoon a day may lower "bad cholesterol" (LDL), but this does not mean that you should forego exercise or wantonly indulge in foods high in saturated fats.

4. It can help stop the growth of bacteria in foods, thus making it a natural food preservative.

5. When mixed with hot water and honey or tea with ginger, it may prevent the onset of the flu or a cold. It may also alleviate headaches or migraines.

6. Cinnamon is also believed to be a homeopathic menstrual aid, in that it may ease uncomfortable cramping, but even bigger claims link it to fertility problems by jumpstarting irregular menstrual cycles.

7. High in antioxidants, the spice may come in handy treating acne issues and making way for clearer complexions. Learnvest.com suggests trying this treatment method: "Mix 1 teaspoon of powdered cinnamon with 3 tablespoons of honey, apply to the skin, and let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight. Wash off with warm water."

8. Medication-resistant yeast infections may also benefit from the ingestion of cinnamon, based on its anti-fungal properties.

So keep these facts in mind and use cinnamon to your advantage!
