The Benefits of Deep Breathing to the Body

Image
There is so much more to breathing then most people realize. There are two methods of breathing, which are breathing from the chest and breathing from the diaphragm. For those who do not know this, the diaphragm is a muscle that is located in the lower abdominal area. We are generally taught to breath from our chests but this results in irregular, shallow breathing that is slow and causes carbon dioxide to leave the lungs too quickly which can create more tension in both the body and the mind. Diaphragm breathing is healthier and more beneficial to the body. In this case breathing is even and consistent and more breaths are taken in and can be breathed deeper into the lungs, which is a good thing. Deep breathing does not just involve the lungs but also the lower rib-cage, the back and the stomach. Diaphragm breathing creates a response from the nervous system that is called the "relaxation response" for the simple fact that it allows the body to calm and to become relaxe

What I Did to Tone Down My Thighs

First thing first,  you got to do the Slim Thigh Test. Before you start whining about having a big thigh or whatever, you need to establish whether or not you have big thigh muscles  or a lot of thigh fat . Understand the difference girls, To do the Slim Thigh Test you have to  Straighten your leg, you can do so by sitting on a flat surface, I suggest on the floor.  Tighten your thigh muscles, squeeze  really tight but not at the point where you end up having crumps afterwards.  Pinch the top layer of fat and skin of the thigh, you will see this the minute you  squeeze  your  squeeze  and stretch  your leg at the same time.  If there is much to pinch , then fat is making your thighs big and you’ll also probably suffer with cellulite.  If there is little to pinch , you have large thigh muscles and little fat and will have little cellulite, if any. HOW TO SLIM THIGHS 1. E xercises that I A voided. Avoid exercises such as squats, lunges, leg curls, stiff-

Guest Posting at Simbae: A New Chapter for ChloĆØ, The Rescued Cat

My family and I went out for a dinner on Friday night, to the local restaurant in Penang, Malaysia. At this restaurant, they happened to be a lot of cats and kittens hanging around. Some of the customers in the restaurant gave foods to the cats and some customers just ignore. But what really catches my attention was truly shocking and heart breaking. I noticed some customers were kicking the cats and even kittens that are sitting under their chairs away from them. I saw this one kitten sitting under the plastic chair where a man was kicking her away, I felt very sad just by looking at what was happening. “ That kitten must be only a months old or three ” I thought to myself. I wanted to do something, but I was too afraid to come close. I was very young, so I pointed it out to my family and my eldest sister who was sitting across me stood up from her chair and walk towards the poor little kitten and pick her up. My sister brought the little kitten over to our table and cover the

Being Overweight is a Learned Habit - Not by Choice

Image
It is remarkable to find how many people eat out of boredom, sheer habit, at least, that's what my friends and I do. Many  pressure  to the habit of eating at a "minute" diner, fast food restaurant or lunch counter, gulping their food and running a "hoof and mouth" race with Father Time. (He always wins.) Others are trained from childhood to stuff themselves - " finish your plate ” I personally grew up with the family who believe to not leave the table non unless your plate is shiny af. Like literally legit, I'm not allowed to leave the table unless I finish my plate and not only that, I have to taste and eat every food my mother put on the table, it can't be just a little bit of that, a little bit of this. NO! that is a big no-no to my family. You seriously have to grab a spoon full of every dish that is prepared and serve in the table. There's no punishment if you don't finish your plate whatsoever, but, whoever didn't finsih

Being Thin and Being Lean: Is There a Difference Between the Two?

Image
Often people will look at a thin person and think to themselves; now that person is nice and lean. But is that really always the case? Does being thin have a direct relationship with being lean? In order to answer these questions, we must examine what it means to be thin verses what it means to be lean. Now you can define being thin as having a small circumference size. This would be symbolize by small waist, arm, leg, and chest diameters as well as a low body weight all in relation to overall height. The definition of being lean however is measured by overall body composition. This would be symbolize by a low percentage of body-fat verses percentage of lean mass (muscle and bone). You may be surprised to know that thin people quite often are not lean at all. In fact, many thin people have a much higher body-fat percentage than you might think! Just like my other 2 sister, Camille and Grace. Both of my sisters are just lean. Now you may be thinking; how is that possibl

7 Fun Ways To Become More Active - Every Day

Image
You know you should be getting some sort of exercise, you know of all the health benefits that come with a more active lifestyle. You’ve tried the whole Gym thing, but it just wasn’t for you - I tried that and it didn't work for me either. The temptation to just sit in front of the TV, to curl up with a good book, or to spend a little extra time at your computer is just too big. Who wants to head to the gym right now anyway? There are many other options to get more active that don’t include jogging, weight lifting or other “traditional” ways to work out. Here are some few ideas that I worked for me and hopefully it works for you as well. 1) Turn up the Music and Dance around the Living Room First thing I do is, I make sure I lock my bedroom door! Next, while you’re dusting, putting up dishes, or after you’ve been sitting around for too long, just play some of your favorite upbeat music and dance around in your bedroom. Or better yet, around your house, I like to imagine

Granted, the title of this blog post either sounds too good to be true, or strangely like one of those spam emails informing you how to get bigger boobs in just twenty-four hours. But - believe it or not - I have come across a way to slim down, whilst still being able to scoff pizza and pastries. And no, you don't have to drink any strange tasting teas or work out at the gym ten hours a day (although a few gym sessions here and there does help move things a long a little). All you have to do really is to have fun and forget about the negatives you feed yourself into. Now I know what you're thinking. Mercy, is that it? Waste my time and just have fun and I'll apparently turn into some sort of Sports Illustrated model? No, of course not but I'm not talking about switching up your morning routine of having a long face into smiling, this will help you stretch your face muscles so yeah. Pretty boring, right? But hey, remember what I said at the start - you can lose we

Learning to Love for Who You Truly Are

Love Your Body, Forgive Your self This may sound a bit odd coming from me, but I believe that regardless of what you eat - how many times each week you exercise or what particular diet you decide to try - if you do not have your inner life in order, it will be difficult to be at peace with yourself and your body. In discussing ways to love your body, therefore, it is important to look at ways we can have peace with ourselves. Moreover, in this article, we will discuss an idea you may not have considered: forgiveness. The Past Is The Past, Let It Go The most important process we can undertake for our health and well being is to make a conscious effort not to leave negative energy embedded in the past. In effort to move into present time, and be at one with our own body, it becomes essential to let go of all the hurts and struggles that have led us to this moment. There is only one road to this state of oneness, however: The act of letting go. As it turns out,
