Un articol de Cristian Iacov

In ultimul timp, tot mai multe voci afirma faptul ca mersul pe jos este mult mai eficient decat alergatul , in special atunci cand se doreste pierderea in greutate. In cele ce urmeaza Echipa Secretele doreste sa va prezinte de ce mersul pe jos este mult mai sanatos si eficient decat alergatul.

Iata mai jos motivele :

1. Cand faci un exercitiu cardio, cum ar fi alergatul, arzi calorii din muschi si din grasime. Organismul nu poate alege arderea grasimilor, el practic arde caloriile din tot corpul, reducand de fapt masa musculara. Asadar, in cazul in care vrei sa scapi de grasimea acumulata si vrei sa-ti pastrezi muschii, trebuie sa mergi, nu sa alergi.

2. Exercitiile cardio (alergarile) cresc productia unui hormon de stres numit cortizol, ceea ce va duce la pofte alimentare mai mari, deoarece corpul tau vrea sa supracompenseze caloriile arse. Deci, in cazul in care vei alerga, pofta de mancare va creste si tu vei ajunge de fapt sa consumi mai multe calorii decat ai ars.

** Prea multe exercitii cardio (alergari) vor determina rezistenta la leptina, care are acelasi efect hormonal ca privarea de somn. In acest fel, corpul tau nu va reusi sa spuna daca este plin sau gol. Vei avea tot timpul senzatia de foame, si vei dezvolta rezistenta la insulina, datorita nivelului ridicat de cortizol, astfel te vei intoarce rapid la greutatea de la care ai plecat.

** Exercitiile cardiovasculare (alergarile)pot avea un impact negativ asupra functiei tiroidiene. Pentru a avea un metabolism care functioneaza corespunzator, tiroida produce un hormon numit T4, care apoi este transformat in T3 pentru a ajuta metabolismul. Dar, prin suplimentarea nivelului de cortizol in corp, tiroida nu poate produce T4 si totul se va termina cu un metabolismul disfunctional, scaderea capacitatii organismului de ardere a grasimilor si pierderea energiei.

3. Se crede ca alergatul are un impact nimicitor asupra genunchilor si articulatiilor, in cazul persoanelor supraponderale, datorita presunii exercitate pe acestea in timpul alergatului.

Rezumat: Alergatul poate provoca reducerea masei musculare, incetinirea metabolismului, dezechilibrul hormonal, ceea ce poate duce la crestera in greutate, avnd un impact negativ asupra genunchilor daca sunteti supraponderal.

Mersul pe jos, pe de alta parte, poate fi o alternativa mult mai sanatoasa si mai echilibrata. Chiar daca nu ofera aceleasi rezultate pe termen scurt, pe termen lung mersul pe jos se va dovedi mult mai eficient decat alergatul. Cand mergi pe jos vei reduce nivelul de cortizol, bucurandu-te astfel de efectele pierderii in greutate, fara grija apritiei senzatiei de foame pe care ti-o va crea alergatul. Mersul pe jos te va face mai sensibil la insulina, ceea ce iti va permite o mai buna ardere a caloriilor. Sa nu mai vorbim de faptul ca mersul pe jos va produce elibererarea serotoniei si dopaminei, care te va face sa te simti mai motivat si mai fericit, inducandu-ti starea de bine.

Concluzie : Mergi pe jos cat mai mult posibil! Intre 30 si 60 de minute, de cel putin 3 ori pe saptamana.

Primavara a sosit! Vremea s-a imbunatatit! Nu trebui sa mai mergi cu masina sau cu mijloacele de transport in comun, pur si simplu mergi pe jos pana la locul de munca sau la cumparaturi si te vei alege cu o scadere in greutate eficienta si de lunga durata, te vei bucura de o santate de invidiat si vei fi mai fericit!

There is nothing worse than the horrifying looks of yellow teeth. While this happens for many reasons ranging from too much caffeine and tea to taking a ton of antibiotics to your diet it can often be treated. However the cost for the treatment can be quiet costly and cost hundreds of dollars. Often times many dental plans won’t even cover this as it’s considered cosmetic and that leaves you with a huge bill. Why pay all that money when you have a host of ingredients that are right in your kitchen or can be purchased at your local grocery store for just a few dollars. Today we are going to show you the top ten home remedies for whitening your teeth.

1. Baking Soda

Baking soda is one of the best ways to whiten your teeth when used carefully. Please keep in mind these suggestions should be used in moderation. Excessive use of baking soda can erode your teeth’s natural enamel which can leave you prone to other issues. Here are some simple easy ways to use baking soda to whiten your teeth. Try mixing a quarter teaspoon of baking soda with a little bit of toothpaste. Brush your teeth with the gritty mix and do this at least twice a week. Instead of warm water you can make the mixture with hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice, or even white vinegar. The picture below has some suggestions you can try that we will also mention in this post.

3. Strawberries

Another big supplier of vitamin C strawberries also will help your yellow teeth vanish if done properly. Try this concoction to get those pearly whites back. In your blender grind a few strawberries to make into a thick paste. Gently rub the paste onto your teeth. If you do this every day twice a day you will notice in just a few short weeks that your yellow teeth are gone. Just like magic. How is it that for money saving. It is much cheaper to buy a box of strawberries for a few dollars then spend hundreds on expensive whitening treatments. Try the other method below in the picture for more positive results.

4. Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen Peroxide contains a mild bleaching ingredient which has the same results as those expensive whitening treatments. However pay extra attention when using Hydrogen Peroxide as overuse can irritate your gums and make your teeth extra sensitive. Try this method to make a hydrogen peroxide paste. Mix a paste of baking soda with some Hydrogen Peroxide. Then gently brush your teeth with it. Later on do a regular brushing of your teeth with your favorite regular toothpaste.

5. Lemons

One of the best ways you can rid your teeth of yellow discoloration is using lemon peels. In fact it is suggested that gargling with lemon juice and scrubbing your teeth with a lemon peel is one of the most efficient ways to remove yellow marks on your teeth.

6. Salt

Salt has been used for hundreds of years and has been proven to be effective with removing yellow plaque marks from teeth. Simply mix regular table salt with some baking soda and very gently rub it on your teeth. Pay extra attention with salt as it can do some damage to your gums and teeth enamel if you brush harshly.

7. Holy Basil

Not only is Holy Basil very good at removing yellow plaque marks from your teeth but it also helps prevent advanced periodontal diseases such as pyorrhea. Leave a few holy basil leaves in the sun for several hours. Go out and check them periodically when they are dry this is when they are ready to be used. You then want to take the dried Holy Basil leaves and grind them in your blender until they are in powder form. Mix the Holy Basil powder with your regular toothpaste and start brushing away.

8. Apples

Apples are very powerful fruits and benefit our bodies in many ways. But did you know just chewing a crunchy apple once or twice a day is just as potent as brushing your teeth. The acidic juices from apples works diligently to remove yellow stain marks from your teeth. Still brush your teeth but try doing this with eating one or two apples a day and see how gorgeous those teeth will look.

9. Charcoal

Another well-known teeth brightener Charcoal has potent crystal chemicals that does a great job at whitening teeth. Just mix a little bit of charcoal powder with your regular toothpaste and gently brush. Try doing this twice a day. If you don’t have Charcoal you can also use burnt bread and rosemary as substitutes.

10. Margosa

Margosa or neem leaves are both effective against yellow teeth. In addition to these excellent features margosa due to its tough antiseptic properties is very effective in fighting other dental health issues such as bad breath and cavities. You can use margosa twigs instead of your regular tooth brush and start putting those powerful properties to work right away.

Depression is often used word, but most of the time people take it lightly, not realizing that people who suffer from it should be taken very seriously because this is a condition that won’t go away on its own. The following tips are simple and pretty helpful for people who are feeling down and are struggling to fight their inner demons. If you suffer from depression or if you have anyone around you that needs help, here is how you can help.

1. Sleep

For people who suffer depression, sleeping can be a problem, especially at night, but there is nothing more important than your eight hours of good sleep. Even sleeping for an hour or two in the middle of the day would help a lot. When you calm your mind, it not only removes that worry or the phase of depression from your mind for a few hours, but also gives a positive vibe to the rest of the day.

2. Appreciate little things in life

Often we forget about the little things that make life. Every person you come across is fighting battles of their own and you are not the only who may suffer from depression. But, little things like family lunch, listening to your favorite song, watching your favorite show are just those little things that are making you feel good. So, go for a walk, notice the birds’ singing, sing out loud on your favorite song, observe the sky. Look at the positive side. Be happy for the fact that life has given you so much so far and that there is so much left in it to experience.

3. Healthy diet

A good diet is essential to a healthy mind and that’s why good nutrition is very essential. When depressed, one’s health tends to go downhill. What you eat affects your brain, so it is important so stay healthy, and have a balanced diet that is filled with the needed vitamins, proteins, calcium and carbohydrates. Research indicates that omega-3 fatty acids, which are generally found in fish, can help fight depression with great ease.

4. Go out

The human body is built to be active. It is not meant to be sitting in a chair 9 hours a day and on the couch for another 2-3 hours. That would make your body lethargic and you will feel nothing but lazy the entire time. Your body needs to do something and what can be better than going outside and getting some Vitamin D, courtesy of the sun. Our skin absorbs the sun and derives nutritional value from it.

5. Physical activity

Maybe working out is the least thing you wish to do when feel depressed, but giving your body activity would improve your entire condition. However, any kind of exercise isn’t beneficial. When done regularly, 30 minutes or more of vigorous exercise is proven to have improved people’s mood by a large scale. Use the treadmill regularly or go for that nature walk.

6. Change attitude

Depression affects your thoughts severely, making everything hopeless and like there is no way out. It is important to fight your own thoughts and try your best to think positive thoughts and notice the good things in life. Notice one good thing and then carry on the effort of noticing similar things.

7. Stop blaming yourself

This is the most simple and cheap tip to follow and the most important thing you can do when faced with that black hole called depression. The presence of guilt is something that depressed should try to fight off. It can easily get into the process of recovery and harm you more. Instead accept yourself and your life.

Speak out

If you feel that people aren’t listening to you or that you are not worth to listen to for some people, it’s time for you to realize that you don’t need these people. Search for the ones to whom you can express yourself. Also, don’t be afraid to seek professional help from therapist. Often, they can help you much better than your friends and family. Depression isn’t a joke, but a serious mental state that needs to be treated properly.

For those who finally decided to do something about their weight, this would be a very useful article. Maybe you wonder why you can’t get rid of those few kilograms even though you go on and on with your diet. Sometimes diets don’t work because you are not picking the right diet for your body type. Eating organic food is not enough if you have negative mind, if you skip your daily activity or if once you finish your diet, you go back to eating junk food all over again. Read below several tips on how to lose weight successfully.

#1. No salt

When you are at the supermarket just pass by the aisle with potato chips and snacks that contain too much salt. They do taste great, but the amount of salt they contain is no good in your battle with the kilograms. Also, too much salt is terrible for your heart and the cellulite.

#2. Don’t skip your breakfast

Whoever told you that eating one meal a day is the best way to lose weight was wrong. Skipping breakfast is the worst thing you can do to your body, because it is the most important meal of the day, and if you have a reasonably rich breakfast (like a scrambled egg or a bowl of cereals) it would keep you full till lunch and you won’t think of food in between meals.

#3. Working out

Physical activity is crucial, but it won’t work unless you do. You can starve yourself for days and lose some weight but you would still look the same. That’s why because you are losing body mass and the fat remains there. So hit the gym, go out running or simply start doing a few light workouts at home. Once you set your rhythm you would never want to stop working out.

#4. Get rid of bad habits

You love your beer or cigarettes? Time to quit. Alcohol and cigarettes are only harming your health and that is not what you want. Even if you eat healthy and even if you work out, what is the point when you take your cigarette package and light one? Start slowly and once and for all quit your bad habits.

#5. Don’t buy unhealthy foods

This is a hard step if you have roommates or kids who will always crave some ice creams or candies. Some people say that it is silly to force others to have the same diet as you, but it won’t harm you or the people who live with you to eat healthy snacks. So instead to shop candies, chips, ice creams, fill the fridge with fruits and veggies, dried fruits and organic dairy products.

#6. Running

This is probably the most effective physical activity of all. No, this doesn’t mean that you have to go and run a marathon, but you can start running smaller routs in your neighborhood. You will notice how your body will strengthen up, you will lose some weight and you will feel more energized than ever.

#7. Eat smaller meals

If you still feel hungry after you had your lunch, don’t get more. You gave yourself enough food. Scientist say that the brain gets the impulse that your stomach is full a bit slow in comparison to other impulses (for pain for instance). That’s why you still feel hungry. Having less food on your plate is a good start, if you don’t wish to try strict diets that forbid almost every food you like.

#8. You can have your dessert

If you are eating more fruits and veggies, and less junk food and red meat, your body can take a chocolate bar. Don’t worry it will not harm your diet. For extra caution, you can eat dark chocolate that is really great for your health and is recommended as a good sweet.

#9. Forget about night snacks

We have all been there, craving food in the middle of the night. Just don’t do it. The diets can be hard but they are a test of your patience. If you feel like you can’t fall asleep if you don’t eat anything, get a glass of warm tea or a glass of milk (if you diet allows you to eat dairy products), but don’t indulge in chips, candies, sandwiches or midnight cooking of your favorite meals. Once you get used on this non-eating-after-midnight habit, you would be surprised how you don’t even think of food in that time of the night.
