How to Take Control of Your Health

The amount of time you revel in wonderful moments of joy, contentment, inspiration, laughter, love and learning will be directly proportional to your health, happiness, success, satisfaction, productivity and fulfillment! Maintain a healthy outlook through the power of a positive thought!
                                  Steps
1
Cleanse the Soul. For the same reason you wouldn't go a week without a shower, you shouldn't keep a week's worth of mind clutter stored up in your grey matter. Do easy meditations daily in the shower to clear your mind, open yourself up to new opportunities and prepare for a simply fantastic day!
2
Brush Up. Do a daily affirmation twice a day in the morning and at night when you are brushing your teeth. Say it aloud through toothpaste suds or silently in your mind, "I am masterfully creating my ultimate life. Success and health (or sub in what you desire) comes naturally to me."
3
Be Active. Don't just stand around and let life happen to you. Every time you walk to the car, think about tiny actions you could take to move you closer to achieving what you truly desire. Keep a notebook to jot them down before you start up the engine. Watch each baby step start to exponentially propel your life forward.
4
Dress Up. Just as you might think ahead or lay out your wardrobe for an important meeting or date, prepare your mind for important events. Focus on how you want to feel and set your intentions and be very specific on what you'd like to accomplish.
5


Buckle Up For Safety. It's the law. Expect that you will experience life's mishaps, tragedy, injury and unfairness. You can safeguard against emotional distress by getting in touch with your true self. Choose how you want to feel, how you would like to handle difficult situations and think before you let fear, worry or panic creep in. It's your choice.
6
Martin Luther King Jr. said, "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
7
Preventative Prescription. A vitamin a day keeps the self doubt away. Honor yourself and recognize all that you are. When something has gone well, applaud yourself and enjoy it! Don't dwell on what you could have done to improve it or what you would do differently next time. We all make mistakes. Learn and grow from them but remember to enjoy and relish in even your smallest achievements too!
8
Bless Your Meals. Just as you might say grace or spend an extra moment going around the Thanksgiving table to express what you are thankful for, find the good in your life and be thankful for it. Adopt an attitude of gratitude at dinner time.
9
Sleep Tight. Take your last waking moments before you drift off to sleep to focus on something that inspires you. Read inspiring literature, listen to soothing music or breathe in a delightful aroma. You will feel happier and wake up more content when you close your day with inspiring thoughts and feelings.

















How to Lose Weight and Live a Healthy Lifestyle

Tired of feeling uneasy and awful after a binge ? Ashamed of your weight ? Want to feel happy, strong and healthy ? You have come to the right place. I'm going to tell a few easy ways in which you can lose weight and enter into a healthy lifestyle. After all, cleansing your body from the inside isn't as difficult as it seems to
                                                                       Steps
1
Eat until your 80% full. If you eat more, your stomach will expand if you eat until your 100% full. There would be a lot of pressure on the walls of your stomach, so it would stretch and increase in size making you eat even more. Eating until your 80% full will help your stomach to decrease in size gradually .

2
Drink lemon water. Lemon fastens your metabolism and clears out all toxins .
every morning right after you wake up, take a 750ml or 1litre water bottle and pour water into it. Squeeze one complete lemon into the bottle, stir and drink.
This would help your body get hydrated just before your morning workout , boosting your metabolism and helping you burn those calories easily.
have two serving of this, once in the morning , then in the evening.
this means your consuming 2 complete lemons with water everyday.

3


Snack on healthy stuff. Eat whatever is good for your body
almonds, apples, avocados and peanut butter boosts your metabolism.
apple, brinjal, papaya and corn are negative calorie foods .
peanut butter, hard boiled eggs, bananas and cheese are super healthy and fill you up easily.

4
Practice portion and proportion control. Just before you eat, put everything that you think you'll eat on the plate, make sure it's all healthy with all nutrients in proper proportions . Make sure you do not put in too much. Once your done, your done. Don't go for a second serving.

5
Eat slowly. Enjoy the flavour, enjoy the texture , indulge yourself into it. Your stomach takes 20 min to realise it's full.

6
Drink lots of water, it boosts your metabolism.

7
Have one treat meal every weekend .Enjoy all the bad food, eat as much as you want and remember, it's a lifestyle change.

8
Workout every single day. Don't tell that you don't have even 15 min for workout everyday. Whether its 15 min or 1hr, a workout is a workout .i recommend a 30-35 min workout
walk for 5 minutes
do 700 rope jumps ( normal , medium speed )
do either upper body or lower body toning workouts. Alternate them and balance it out. If one day you do upper body toning exercises, the next day concentrate on your lower body.
run for 10 min as fast as you can.
end your workout with a 5 min walk and stretch your legs 

9
Sleep well. 8hrs should be fine.
10
Take a healthy celeb as your inspiration, for example Miley Cyrus.



How to Treat a Sunburn

Forgot to wear sunscreen before you went outside, and now you're red as a lobster? Here are some techniques to soothe and treat a sunburn.
Method 1 of 8: Fast Pain Relief
1
Take an over-the-counter pain reliever. Ibuprofen and aspirin are popular options. These can help reduce the inflammation around your sunburn, as well as lessen the pain.
Do not give aspirin to children. Instead, opt for something that is specifically marketed as a child's dose of acetaminophen. However, be aware that acetaminophen (Tylenol, Panadol, etc.) does not have an anti-inflammatory effect but may ease any pain.
2
Use an anti-inflammatory paste. Suitable topical applications include aloe vera, cortisone cream, or other soothing agent specified as suitable for irritated and sunburned skin (see section below). If you don't have any of these, you can make an anti-inflammatory paste out of aspirin. Simply crush up a few pills into a powder that's as fine as you can manage, then add water, a few drops at a time, until it turns into a goopy paste. Apply to the affected areas.
Method 2 of 8: Cooling Relief
1
Have a cool bath or a very gentle shower.
Bath: Set the water to a cool temperature that's just below lukewarm (that is, not teeth-chattering cold), and relax for 10 to 20 minutes. The temperature will ease the pain, and the water will stop your skin from becoming as irritated. Repeat as often as you need to.
Shower: Again, keep the temperature just below lukewarm and also use a very gentle flow or just a sprinkling of water. If it thunders out, your skin will hurt.
Avoid using soap, bath oils, or other detergents as you bathe or shower. Any such products will irritate your skin and possibly make the effects of the sunburn feel even worse.
If you have blisters forming on your skin, take a bath instead of showering. The pressure from the shower might pop your blisters.
When you get out, don't rub your skin dry with a towel. Instead, let yourself air dry, or pat the towel over your skin in small, gentle movements.
2
Apply cold compressions to your skin. If you're not in a situation where you can bathe, or you'd just prefer not to, you can instead apply cold, wet compressions to your skin. Dampen a washcloth or other piece of fabric with cold water, and lay it over the affected area for 20 to 30 minutes. Re-wet it as often as you need to.
Method 3 of 8: Topical Applications for Relief


1
Apply aloe vera to burned skin.[1] You can buy gels or lotions that contain aloe vera at most stores, or you can cut a chunk off the plant itself if you have one available.
Using the pads (tips) of your fingers, gently apply the aloe to your sunburn.
Don't "rub it in" all the way, like you might with a regular lotion. Leave it a bit goopy and moist on top of the burn, as this helps prevent the skin from drying out and becoming more irritated.
Reapply as often as necessary.  
2
Treat inflammation with cortisone cream. Cortisone creams contain a small dose of steroids that can work to reduce inflammation to your sunburn. You can find low-dose, over-the-counter tubes at your local drug store or supermarket. Look for hydrocortisone or something similar.
Do not use cortisone cream on young children. Ask your pharmacist for advice if you have any doubts or concerns about using this cream.
Method 4 of 8: Keeping Hydrated
1
Drink plenty of water. Sunburn can be dehydrating, so it's important to counterbalance this by drinking a lot of water while you recover. Aim for 8 glasses containing 8 ounces/236ml of water each day (or even a little bit more)
Method 5 of 8: Protecting Sunburned Skin



1
Protect sunburned skin if you're going outside. Ideally, you should hang out in the shade or wear clothing over affected areas if you're going back out into the sunshine. If you can't avoid exposing your skin, though, apply a thin layer of aloe vera on the burn, then put SPF 45 sunscreen on top to prevent further damage.
2
Apply unscented moisturizer to your skin as it starts to heal over. When you no longer have open blisters, or the redness of the sunburn has subsided a bit, treat your damaged skin to some TLC. Liberally apply a creamy, unscented moisturizer to sunburned areas over the next few days or weeks to prevent peeling and irritation.
Method 6 of 8: Blister Treatment


1
Treat blisters. If your sunburn is serious, you might notice blisters beginning to form. Here's what to do about it:
Most blisters don't merit popping. Popping them prematurely can be painful, as well as possibly leading to infection and scarring. They shouldn't hang around for more than a few days, so resolve to grit your teeth and deal with it in the meantime.
However, if you do have a large blister that needs to be drained, pop it hygienically. Sterilize a needle with rubbing alcohol and water, and make a small hole at the edge of the blister. After you've drained all the fluid, pat the area dry with clean gauze. If you feel queasy or unsure about doing this, see your doctor.
Wash your hands with soap and water before touching blisters. Again, this is to prevent infection.
2
Use topical agents on the blisters. Some suggestions include:
Apply aloe vera, as you would in the section above.
Consider using antibiotic ointment (such as polymyxin B or bacitracin) on your blisters if you suspect infection. Infection might manifest as a foul smell, yellow pus, or extra redness and irritation around the skin. (Note that some people are allergic to these ointments, so do a "patch test" on an unaffected area first and make sure you don't have a bad reaction.)
3
Do not tear off the flaps of skin left over from broken blisters. You'll shed them soon enough; don't risk irritating your skin even more now
4
Cover blisters in a loosely-wrapped gauze bandage. After you've applied aloe vera or ointment to the area, put a bandage over it to prevent chafing against your clothes or anything else. Loosely apply a sterile piece of gauze over the area; use medical tape to secure.
Change the bandage once every day, or after it gets wet or dirty.
5
Wear loose cotton clothing over sunburned areas. Baggy t-shirts and loose cotton pajama pants are ideal clothing items to wear while you're recovering from a sunburn. If you can't wear loose clothing, at least make sure your garments are cotton (this fabric allows your skin to "breathe") and fit as loosely as possible.
Method 7 of 8: Responding to Possible Infections Quickly
1
If you're experiencing the following symptoms, your skin might be infected. Treatment could require the use of an antibiotic cream (see Step 6) or medical attention:
Increased pain, swelling, redness, or warmth around the blister
Red streaks extending away from the blister
Drainage of pus from the blister
Swollen lymph nodes in your neck, armpit, or groin
Fever.
2
Know when you need to see a doctor. If you're experiencing the following symptoms in relation to your sunburn, seek medical attention immediately:
Feeling faint or dizzy
Rapid pulse or rapid breathing
Extreme thirst, no urine output, or sunken eyes
Pale, clammy, or cool skin
Nausea, fever, chills, or rash
Your eyes hurt and are sensitive to light
Severe, painful blisters.
Method 8 of 8: Unverified Home Remedies

1
Use Noxzema facial cleanser. Noxzema was originally devised to provide relief from sunburns.[3] Here's what to do:
Buy a 334 ml container (not a pump) of Noxzema Original cold cream. That particular formula is much more effective than the others.
Start applying Noxzema as soon as you get home and suspect a burn. Don't wait to see if it turns red.
Apply a thick layer of Noxzema to the affected area. You should be able to see a layer of white. Let it sit.
When most of the moisture has been absorbed by your damaged skin, apply more Noxzema on top. Do not rinse off, as doing so will just dry your skin out.
Continue applying Noxzema every 2 to 8 hours depending on the severity of the burn.
2
Try the tea method:
Brew 3 or 4 teabags in a pitcher of warm water. When the tea is almost black, remove the teabags and let the liquid cool to room temp.
Gently dab at the sunburn with a cloth soaked in the tea. Apply as much as you'd like, but don't wash it off. The more the better. If the burn is really bad, you can just dab at it with the teabags.
Try to do this at bedtime so it can do its thing overnight. Shower it off the next morning; you'll see and feel a big difference.
Be careful with clothing, as tea liquid stains.
3
Use a cool cloth dampened with skim milk. Rest it on the burned spots. The coolness takes out the initial fire, and the milk creates a protein film that helps ease the ensuing discomfort.
4
If the burn is very recent (still red and not peeling), apply the juice of a tomato to your skin. Tomato juice is acidic but it doesn't hurt and helps the redness. Note that eating tomatoes is probably more effective against being sunburnt than using them after the fact.[4]

5
Try calendula ointment. Calendula ointment is considered by some to be especially good for severe burns with blistering.[5] You can find it at a naturopathic store; ask the retailer or naturopath for advice. Be aware that no herbal treatment is appropriate for the treatment of serious injuries; if you have severe burns or blisters that won't heal, see a doctor immediately
6
Apply witch hazel lotion.[6] It's a good aloe alternative for soothing pain. Apply carefully to affected area and leave.
7
Try vinegar.[7] This method is only suitable for skin without ruptures of any sort; it is not suitable if you have abrasions on your skin. Apple cider is considered to be the best.[8]
Mix vinegar in a 50-50 dilution with cool water.
Soak towels in the solution (or place in a spray bottle).
Drape the towels over the burns or spray over the burned area. Note that the smell almost totally vanishes from your skin after about an hour.
8
Add ½ cup of baking soda or some oatmeal to a bath. This will help to reduce the swelling and if there is any itching present, these ingredients may reduce it.[9]
9
Try the apricot method.[10]
Peel and mash 3-4 apricots.
Apply the mix on your burn and leave on for 15 minutes.
Wash off with lukewarm water.
10
Use milk of magnesia.[citation needed]
Dampen a cotton pad or ball with milk of magnesia.
Apply to the affected area by padding on it. Do not rub.
Let it dry. The skin will be cooled. Repeat as often as needed.
11
Use cottage cheese. This is a fast and easy sunburn pain reliever:
On bare sunburn, place a dampened cool cotton cloth for 15 or 20 minutes
Remove the cloth. Do not dry! Apply the cottage cheese to the sunburn, enough to completely cover the burned area.
Replace the damp cotton cloth on top of the cottage cheese-covered burned area. Keep damp (a spray water bottle works well) and leave on for 2 or 3 hours.
Remove the cloth. Rinse off with cool water (use no soap). The spray water bottle works well for this, if you do not want to bathe. You should feel relief from the pain.





















How to Lose Weight Fast



Method 1 of 5: Rapid Weight Loss Diets
1
Do a juice cleanse. This method is also known as the Hollywood diet.[1]. There are many different kinds of juice cleanses out there. However, the main concept is to only consume juices made from raw fruits and vegetables. The cleanse will remove toxins from your system, helping you lose weight while also making you feel more alert and healthy.[2]
Most juice cleanses last for one to three days, though some will go up to seven days at a time. You can either buy a cleansing package from a health store or company online, or you can buy your own juicer.[3]
Be sure you incorporate plenty of vegetables into your juicing routine. Fruit juice contains a lot of sugar, and drinking a lot of it will cause you to gain weight instead of losing it.

Some of the most popular cleanse brands include Cooler Cleanse, BluePrint, and Life Juice.[4]
                                                                               
                                                                              2
Consider the Master Cleanse. The master cleanse is a liquid-only diet that consists of a “lemonade” (lemon, cayenne pepper powder, maple syrup, and water), a salt-water drink, and herbal laxatives. The diet lasts for 16 days—three days of easing into the diet by only eating raw fruits and veggies, 10 days of the liquid only diet, and three more days easing back into solid foods.[5]

Be aware that this diet should only be done for very short-term weight loss and is supposed to function as a detoxifying cleanse rather than a strict weight-loss routine.
3


Try the water diet.[6] This diet involves drinking a daily total of about 64 fluid ounces (8 cups) of cold water, at regular intervals throughout the day. Drink a glass of water before each meal to suppress your appetite. Doing this will help you get into the habit of limiting the portions of food you consume during each meal. By drinking water, you will feel full before a meal, thus helping you consume less calories.
Keep in mind that this is not a water only diet. Water-only diets can actually be quite dangerous if done for too long a period of time. Your body needs nutrients to stay healthy and maintain a strong metabolism. If you drink only water for more than a couple of days, when you start eating again you run the risk of gaining even more weight because your metabolism will have slowed tremendously.[7]
4
Try the cabbage soup diet. This diet claims it can help you lose up to 10 pounds in one week. The diet lasts for seven days with each day’s eating regimen changing from one day to the next.[8] Each day, dieters eat cabbage soup, along with a limited selection of fruits, vegetables, or a lean meat.[9]
The soup is made up of green onions, celery, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, one head of cabbage, and some low-sodium bouillon. Dieters also have the option to add a can of V8 juice or some spice-only soup mix.[10]
5
Try the fasting diet. The idea behind this diet is that our bodies were built to go through both times of feasting and times of famine--as such, we should occasionally recreate the ‘famine’ part. This diet requires that for two days each week, you should only eat 500 (if you’re a woman) or 600 (if you’re a man) calories. On those fasting days, dieters should stick to eating only vegetables, seeds, legumes, and some fruit.[11]
This diet requires that you continue your exercise regimen on fasting days as well as on regular days.
Ease into it by fasting for 1/2 day and seeing how you feel before you commit to longer-term fasting.
6
Consider the HCG diet. This is a highly controversial diet that combines injections or supplements of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) with a severely restricted calorie intake.The calorie restriction alone (only 500 to 800 calories per day) is enough to promote weight loss in most people; it is significantly under the recommended daily calorie allowance, even for people attempting to lose weight. People give themselves doses of HCG via injections or in drop form.[12]
Many studies have been done on the value of HCG, with the results being shaky at best. While some people swear that they lost 25 pounds during the HCG diet, many scientists say there is absolutely no value in injecting yourself with HCG and that it can in fact be dangerous to do so.[13]
