Effects of Caffeine Withdrawal : Headache & Migraines

I’ve been wondering since yesterday why I’m experiencing headache. I went to the mall yesterday, as I was still in a jeepney, my headache started. I thought I was not just use to have a long ride for commuting. Again, today headache attacks same time around at noon time, I feel so dizzy and unbearable headache. I thought again maybe I’m just lacking sleep or I was hungry, wondering because I just ate my breakfast and lunch. Wondering again, it’s been two days I have this headache and came across to my mind that it’s been 2 days too since I stopped drinking coffee. We’ve been trying to conceive a baby and my Ob-Gyne advised me to stop drinking coffee, tea, softdrinks or any caffeinated drinks. And my husband reminded me over again to stop drinking. So I just did. It’s ok that I’ll take some headache. I know it’s worth sacrificing when you know it’s for your future little one J If possible I don’t want to take any medication. Just because the pain wont gone, I asked my sister Tin...

10 Principles of Losing Weight

Image
1. Think long term . Shortcuts and quickie plans never last. 2. Do it yourself . Improving your health and energy are better motivations than a coming class reunion . 3. Prepare the way . Don't rush into a diet before you are ready for long-term changes. Keeping a diet journal will help you become more aware of what you eat and why. 4. Think fruits, grains, legumes , and vegetables . In the standard American diet , more than 50 percent of calories come from fat, sugar and alcohol. 5. Control portion sizes . Use a smaller plate. Serve yourself smaller portions and put away leftovers before you eat. At restaurants, ask for a doggie bag instead of cleaning your plate. 6. Eat three meals a day . Eating at regular intervals will not send your body into a deprivation (starvation) mode, which may cause you to eat and binge more. 7. Maintain your program . Successful weight-loss managers realize that they are not on a temporary diet . They are starting a permanent new lifestyle. 8. Ex...

Save Live, Share this!

I got this from e-mail from Ate Jo Ocenar, and i want to share this to everybody! EATING FRUIT!! We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat. What is the correct way of eating fruits? IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.. FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....

Top 5 cancer causing foods

1. Hot dog Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate. 2. Processed meats and bacon. Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer. 3. Doughnuts. Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer. 4. French fries. Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer-causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries. 5. Chips, crackers, and cookies. All are usually made with white flour and su...

Dr. Mao's Secrets of Longevity Centenarian Tips for a Long Life

Everyone would love to live to a ripe old age, but not if it means looking and feeling like an over-ripe old vegetable. We need to understand that though getting older is inevitable, getting decrepit is not. Being bent in half and wheeling around an oxygen tank should not be what we picture when we hear the phrase "the golden years." I have seen centenarians around the world who defy our stereotypes of the aging experience. In fact, 20 years ago, while in Shanghai, I took note of the thousands of seniors - a great many of them centenarians - meeting up in parks each morning to practice tai chi. I was truly amazed by their agility, sharp minds, and overall state of health. Intrigued by this discovery, I began studying the lifestyle of centenarians around the world and anti-aging therapies. I combined these discoveries and uncovered the secrets to longevity. Here are a few secrets that will have you looking forward to your 100th birthday! Tai Chi: An Exercise in Anti-aging Tai ...

The Importance of Bananas

Image
A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression 'going bananas' is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Never put your banana in the refrigerator! !! This is interesting.After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again. Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet. Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana...
