Lean, mean, fat-burning machine:-
Avoid fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage).Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions.
Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts.
Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise.
Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one!
SKIPPING MEALS:-
Sensible weight loss programs do not encourage starving yourself or skipping meals.If you skip meals not only will you get hungrier later but your body may have to break down muscle to get the nutrients it needs.
You may end up lighter but fatter (by percentage of body fat) and flabbier.
If a quick weight loss diet program says to skip meals then skip that diet.
FRUITS AND PERSONALITY:-
Did you know that you can tell what kind of personalities people haveby the kind of fruits they like?
ORANGE:-
It speaks of a person who
has enduring patience and willpower. You like to do things
slowly, but very thoroughly and are completely undaunted by
hard work. You tend to be shy, but are reliable and a
trustworthy friend. You select your partner with care and you love
with all your heart. You avoid conflict at all costs.
APPLE:-
you are an extravagant,
impulsive and outspoken person, often with a bit of a
temper. While you may not be the best organizer yourself,
you make a good team leader and are good at moving things
forward. You can take quick action in most situations. You
enjoy travel immensely. You ooze with charm when you are
with your partner.
BANANA:-
You are a softie! Loving, gentle, warm and sympathetic by
nature is the banana lover. You often lack in
self-confidence and are quite timid by nature. People often
take advantage of your sweet temperedness, and sheer
vulnerability to a situation. You adore your partner in
every which way, both for their mental and physical beauty!
Because of the way you are, your relationship is always very
much in harmony!
PINEAPPLE:-
You are quick to decide and even quicker to act.
You are brave in making career changes.

undaunted by the size of the task at hand. You tend to be
self reliant, sincere and honest in your dealings with
others. Though you don't often make friends very
quickly, once you do, it is for life. You rarely, if
ever, make romantic overtures.
MANGO:-
You reckoned with, quite
often it's a person who has quite fixed ideas, and
influencing you is not an easy task. You tend to be an
extremist with strong likes and dislikes, and at times even
like to control a situation. You enjoy getting involved in
something that presents mental challenge. Strong as you may
be, you are like a kitten when you are with your partner.

DRINKING WATER:-
As water plays such a vital role in our general health and well-being, it will come as no surprise that there is a recommended daily amount of water that we all should drink at regular intervals throughout each day.The Food Standards Agency advise that the average adult should take in 1.5-2 litres of water in a typical day, this would equate to 6-8 (250ml) glasses or 4x500ml sports water bottles per day.
The average person should drink 6-8 glasses of water every day, but the actual amount of water you need to drink for your body to stay hydrated depends on your age, size and weight.
You should always drink more water when the weather is hot as well as during and after any exercise, this will help you to avoid dehydration.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXTREME OVERDOSE OF WATER CAN BE FATAL:-
----------------------------------------
Although there are many of us who should drink more water than we do, it is possible to overdose on water. In extreme cases drinking too much water, water intoxication (hyponatraemia), can cause dizziness, respiratory problems and even death as the body no longer has the vital minerals it needs. We recommend that you drink 6-8 glasses of water at regular intervals throughout your day. Thankfully cases of overdosing on water are rare, however it could be caused if you consume large quantities of water, for example 20 litres, over a period of a few hours.

For the largest part fruit consists of water just like the human body does
Like 80% of our body is water so does 80% of fruit consist of water!
If you think about it, it's logical for the human body to consume food that contains as much water as the body itself. The nutrition that meets that requirement is fruit. There is no other food than fruit on this planet that contains on average 80% water.
Vegetables also contain a lot of water and are therefore second best.
Fruit is 100% bad-cholesterol free
No doubt about this argument. Too much bad-cholesterol is not good for our bodies and fruit doesn't contain bad-cholesterol. Animal products like meat and dairy contain a lot of bad-cholesterol.
Fruit stimulates the memory
If you didn’t know yet: fruit is the ultimate brain fuel. Fruit has a positive effect on our brains. The way this works still has to be found out and many scientists are looking into it as we speak. What we do know is that if you consume fruit effectively, your brains can recall information faster and more easily. This is very useful information for people who are preparing for an exam. Students that want to go to this page immediately go to: improve your exam results with fruit.
The idea that fruit is an expensive nutrition
Did you always think that fruit was an expensive product? Take a good look at how much money you spend on other food. It could be worth something to replace some of those expenses with fruit. We think that fruit is the healthiest food on earth and therefore it is well worth spending our money on.
Add a fruit in your daily diet!
