HOW TO DROP 10 LBS IN 4 WEEKS

TIP #1. Before you eat breakfast (and it's vitally important to eat breakfast to get your calorie burning metabolism started), go for a brisk walk around your block for 20 to 30 minutes (or on a treadmill). And then wait until after you shower to eat.

    Did you know your body will burn DOUBLE the fat if you exercise before eating in the morning? It's true. Why? Your blood sugar levels are lower in the morning so your body will dip into your fat stores faster. It's a great trick you should try right away.

    TIP #2. Before or during your walk, drink 24 oz of pure, fresh water to hydrate your body. Your body confuses thirst for hunger so it's important to drink water all day long. What's more, if your body isn't properly hydrated, you won't burn the fat as efficiently as you could. It takes water to burn the fat believe it or not.

    TIP #3. Limit the white carbs. If you replace the white rice, white potatoes, white bread and white sugar you eat with unprocessed whole grains and veggies, you will really start to see a rapid reduction in body fat. This is because your body will be producing less of a fat storing hormone called insulin. Not to mention that you'll naturally be eating fewer carb calories.

    Now speaking of carbs, the plain and simple truth is that certain carbohydrates–especially the "bad" ones like those found in soft drinks, candy bars, ice cream, donuts, cinnamon rolls, milk chocolate, sugary cereals and all those tempting foods–are actually ADDICTIVE to certain parts of your brain. This makes following tip #3 above VERY difficult for a lot of people.

    This is why (no matter how hard they try), some people just can't stop eating these types of foods. And it has nothing to do with willpower. But it has EVERYTHING to do with your brain craving these foods and sending out constant signals for you to eat them.

    Why?

    Because these addictive foods calm us when we're anxious, energize us when we feel down, and make us feel good... at least for a little while. It's like we become slaves to sweets.

TWO BANANA'S A DAY KEEP THE DOCTOR'S AWAY



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. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. 

PMS:
 Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. 

Anemia:
 High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia. 

Blood Pressure:
 This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke. 

Brain Power:
 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert. 

Constipation:
 High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives. 

Hangovers:
 One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system. 

Heartburn:
 Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief. 

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness. 

Mosquito bites:
 Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation. 

Nerves: 
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system. 

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady. 
Ulcers:
 The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. 

Temperature control:
 Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature. 

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan. 

Smoking & Tobacco Use:
 Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium (K) and magnesium (Ma) found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal. 

Stress:
 Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack. 

Strokes:
 According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine, 'eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%! 

Warts:
 Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape! 

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!" 

PS: 
Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! 
Shine your shoesJ Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth.......
