Diet Tip # 16




Chew more! Experts say, it could trigger weight loss without any effort and best of all, no dieting is required. This old fashioned strategy of chewing at least 20 times per bite promotes the quick onset of a feeling of fullness, causing people to eat up to 40 percent fewer calories per meal. What’s more? Thorough chewing release 50 percent more nutrients in the first minute the food reaches your tummy. This increases blood flow to the digestive organs to instantly raise metabolism. The process also enables the appetite centers of the brain to register satiety before excess food is consumed.

I better start teaching myself to take small bites and chew them really slow. :)

A Wonderful Escape

An escape full of thrill, adventure and fun is how I will describe Myrtle Beach Resorts. Myrtle Beach is a well known destination for vacationers from around the country, Canada and abroad. Guests come to enjoy the wide beaches, the Atlantic Ocean, and an incredible range of activities, entertainment, golf, shopping and dining. Myrtle Beach Accommodation is what makes the place one of a kind. A place you will surely fall in love with.

Myrtle Beach Resort offers sailing adventure where you can cruise for a sea-going escapade. You can also enjoy a sunset cruise... a fantastic experience where you can watch the sunset while sailing. If you want more adventure, you can also take a luxury helicopter tour over the Grand Stand and see the overlooking view of the place.

Myrtle Beach is indeed a wonderful place which is ideal for the whole family, for a romantic get-away or even for friends' bonding. You can't ask for more with Myrtle Beach Accommodations because the place is a full service resort community. A day in Myrtle is never boring because there are many parks, museums, theaters and a lot more. So, why not head to Myrtle for a wonderful escape?

The Sweet Stuff


The Sweet Stuff

stevia_plant

Stevia extract in the raw and truvia both contain the herb stevia and they are among the latest no-calorie sweeteners to appear in the market. How do they compare to other sweeteners like aspartame (Equal) and sucralose (Splenda)? All of these sweeteners are safe because they have been approved by the FDA, but the ones made from stevia are the most natural because they were made from a plant that happens to have sweet-tasting leaves.

Shower Rules for Dry Sensitive Skin

If you have dry sensitive skin, it may help you follow the following suggestions:

1. Never take a hot shower. The temperature of the shower should be lukewarm. Superhot water dries out the skin.

2. Use hypoallergenic products. If your skin gets irritated at the drop of a hat, using hypoallergenic products is good for you because they have fewer dyes and perfumes than regular formulas.

3. Limit your exfoliation. Exfoliate your face and body once a week only. Your skin could turn red or break out if you do it more than once a week.

4. Apply body wash and scrubs with your hands. Avoid using abrasive washcloths, loofahs, or sponges.
