Who would have thought that aside from being a source of Vitamin C, Okra is fiber packed that is why it is one of the natural remedies for constipation.

If you want to avoid colon cancer, okra is your best option because it facilitates the release of all the bodily toxins and fats that can do a lot of damage to your intestines.

It is also proven cholesterol buster and is weight-loss friendly because of its properties that effectively flush out the toxins and unwanted fats from the body.

2012-01-10T09:09:00.001+08:00

For most women, their wedding is the most important day of their lives and they want to look their best during that day. Some women spend the months leading up to their wedding dieting and exercising and that's the right way.

There are some things to avoid however and the worst thing that could have is salt. Salt retains water and you will feel and look bloated if you have to much of it. The common mistake that women make is that they do not take much liquids in the fear of being bloated. What they are forgetting is that water is very important it keeps the skin fresher and healthier and the bloated feeling comes from the salt that they have in the body.

Avoid carbs the night before and instead, feast on Omega-3 rich salmon and asparagus to wake up with less facial bloat in the morning. Cocktails the night before or during the reception also reflect badly in photos, so stick with water instead.

When people are about to participate in an athletic event like a marathon or even just a basketball game, they load up on sugar for the extra boost of energy that they believe they needed. While this may help in some way, the cons far outweigh the pros. Not only is to much sugar bad for your body, but when the event isn't very short, it is very much possible that you will crash sometime during the event.

Try eating an apple and some not very sweet peanut butter. Eat something that is high on carbohydrates and remember that the food that you take should be one that is easy to digest. If the event is very early in the morning, try a liquid breakfast instead of a full solid meal. The nutrients will be absorbed faster by the body and you won't feel as heavy.

Water Should Be Treated As A Food

Water should be treated as a food and is also digested. Cold water takes longer to digest. Take this hot water secret. Lose weight and clean off the toxins by sipping hot or warm water, which has been boiled for at least 10 minutes. Hot water from the dispenser or tap doesn't count because the water needs to be boiled for impurities to be taken out, making the water lighter and easier for tissues to assimilate. Sip every half hour throughout the day. If you want to add taste, mix turmeric, a slice of ginger, fennel seed or lemon.

When eating a meal, do not drink water before a meal as this puts out the digestive fire. Rather, drink sparingly during the meal. If you drink right after a meal, all the nutrients of the food would have washed away.

There are many types of food that would help you reach that optimum performance level during an examination. Here are some food suggestions.

Do eat a lot of protein-rich food stuffs. Fruits are a very good source of energy as well as nuts, eggs and yogurt.

Coffee isn't a very good idea especially if you're really not into it to begin with and are only doing so because you spent the night cramming. Green tea has some caffeine and would be good substitute. Pack a bag of greaseless nuts to snack on before, or during your test, if your examiner permits
