12 Fantastic Fat-Burning Foods

On the quest to create the perfect fat-burning diet, there are a number of obstacles in the way. One of the biggest ones are non-fat foods, which should actually be avoided because they are usually high in sugar and other additives. Here are some great and mostly natural ways to fight fat that can be easily and effortlessly be integrated into your daily diet.

1. Greek Yogurt

This tangy and filling yogurt is praised for a number of its health benefits, one of them being its fat-burning powers. Greek yogurt contains higher than normal levels of protein, which stays in the stomach longer to keep you feeling full and satisfied. The protein not only suppresses your feelings of hunger, but your body burns more calories digesting protein than carbs. Try and buy the low-fat, low-sugar or non-fat renditions to maximize the fat-burning properties.

2. Quinoa

A grain that hails from dryer climates in South America, quinoa is a great way to get your carbs into your slimming diet. The grain has about 8 grams of protein that fights off hunger and 5 grams of fiber in just one cup. Quinoa is a great substitute for rice or pasta, and is just as easy to make! It also contains nutrients like iron, zinc, selenium and vitamin E that are important for any balanced diet.

3. Cinnamon

It's not secret that this popular and full flavor spice is one of the healthiest out there. Cinnamon is noted for its ability to stabilize the blood sugar, which could curtail appetite, especially in people with diabetes. Although the taste may be overwhelming for some, gradually adding it to your diet, either at breakfast or in your favorite desert is a great way to sweeten things up without adding extra calories.

4. Hot Peppers

You may not be a fan of hot peppers, but their fat burning qualities are remarkable. Hot peppers contain a compound called capsaicin that curbs your appetite and can speed up your metabolism for a short time. Although hot peppers probably don't have a significant impact on weight loss, many nutritionists and doctors believe that when you eat spicy foods, including hot peppers, you tend to eat less.

5. Grapefruit

A favorite for a light breakfast or healthy snack, grapefruits do not actually burn fat, but are so filling that you are sure to feel satisfied for a few hours. Grapefruits not only taste great and have almost a cleansing feel to them, they are super low in calories and high in good types of soluble fiber. So eating grapefruit for breakfast or drinking a glass of fresh-pressed grapefruit juice before a meal is sure to help you pack on fewer calories during the day.

6. Watermelon

A summertime treat, watermelons are high in sugar, but also water content so they take up more room in your stomach. When you eat enough watermelon, your body sends out signals that it can't take in anymore food and you feel less hungry. But sugar and water aren't the only things watermelon has in store; it is rich in an antioxidant called lycopene, which has been shown to prevent some common cancers, and is a great source of vitamin C too. Just watch out on how much and how often you eat watermelon because it is high in sugar.

7. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are the regular potatoes lost and often forgotten cousin. When you order a loaded baked potato at a restaurant, you are just asking to pack on the pounds with the sour cream, cheese and bacon bits. Instead, try eating a sweet, delicious and filling sweet potato that are low in calories and full with great nutrients like potassium, beta carotene, vitamin C and loads of fiber.

8. Eggs

Although eggs have been tabooed as a high cholesterol food, they are actually one of the healthiest foods, when eaten proportionately, that you can add to your daily diet. Certain studies suggest that eating protein, especially eggs, in the morning will keep you hungrier than if you ate a carb-loaded meal. One egg contains only 75 calories, but also has 7 grams of protein and other important nutrients that you need to keep your body strong.

9. Oatmeal

If one thing is for certain about oatmeal, eating it in the morning will keep you feeling fuller longer. It is also rich in a slew of healthy benefits such as: fiber, whole-grain oats, water, and its hot. According to most nutritionists, hot foods are better to eat when you are on a diet because they take longer to eat, and because they usually contain a lot of liquid that will help you feel full. Oatmeal is also simple and easy to make, so don't buy the pre-made kind that is usually full of sugars and other additives. Instead, make your own and sweeten with cinnamon (another fat-fighting food mentioned above), nutmeg or honey.

10. Vinegar

Adding vinegar to your salad dressing may actually help fight fat cells, according to recent research. Although the studies have yet to be confirmed, it is believed that vinegar may have ingredients that help the body break down fat. It is also full of flavor and makes your salads taste more satisfying, so you don't go back for more. Also, it is calorie free!

11. Nuts

Eating nuts is a great way to curb hunger between meals and they are full of tons of great nutrients! An average nut is high in protein, fiber and heart-healthy fats that can promote weight loss and improve cholesterol levels. It is important to buy nuts that are not salted or roasted, because they are usually soaked in oil that piles the fat back on. Having a handful of nuts daily is a great way to control how much you eat at meals!

12. Beans

Most people shy away from beans because their high carbohydrate content makes them feel sluggish and tired. Well, the belief that beans are a carbohydrate is actually a myth! They are a vegetable, a protein and a great source of fiber that should not be missed in your daily diet. They also help keep you full longer and have very few calories. Beans are a great addition to soups and salads, or they can be mashed up and used as a dip.

The Best Home Remedies for Insomnia

by: Junji Takano

Sleeping problems does not only trouble the elderly but young people as well. Millions of people worldwide suffer from various sleeping disorders and insomnia is one of the most common sleeping complaints.

Many people try to ignore this condition even though it is responsible for their many sleepless nights. Below are the four major symptoms of insomnia:

1. Daytime drowsiness.
2. Difficulty in going to sleep.
3. Frequent waking at night.
4. Unable to go back to sleep after waking in the middle of the night.

In this article, we'll reveal to you the latest secrets behind insomnia, why it occurs, and how you can treat it with the best home remedies.

## "Stimulation of Reptilian Brain" Prevents Deep Sleep!

Some people are unaware that they have an insomnia problem and may experience daytime fatigue even after sleeping for 7-8 hours straight. Latest studies show that one of the major factors that contribute to this daytime tiredness after waking up in the morning is the "stimulation of the reptilian brain during sleep".

The "reptilian brain" refers to the part of the brain that controls instinct and is common in birds and mammals. It has a definite control over sleeping behaviors. Apparently, increased stress and anxiety activates the reptilian brain, making it impossible to achieve a deep sleep.

EEG (Electroencephalography) tests show that some insomnia patients appear to wake up during the night frequently for several seconds totally unaware. As a result, the sleep is intermittent and the body cannot reach deep sleep.

Therefore, calming your reptilian brain is one of the important points in getting a good night sleep.

## Breaking the Vicious Cycle a??g Do not go to bed if you are not sleepy!

Most people will try to eliminate insomnia by attempting to go to bed early, but it appears that this is contradictory and is the archenemy of sleep!

Sleeping early today because you were not able to sleep well yesterday won't treat insomnia. Doing this often will only increase your stress and the chance that you'll awaken your reptilian brain increases, too. All of these will prevent your body from entering deep sleep.

To break this vicious cycle, you need to do these two things:

1. Stop worrying of when you should go to bed. The more worried you are about not sleeping, the worse your insomnia will be.

2. Only go to bed once you start to feel sleepy. By doing so, you may feel anxious at first as you will get less sleep. But the most important thing is quality of sleep is better than quantity.

We often hear that "7-8 hours of sleep time is ideal", but this does not apply fully in the case of elderly individuals who have lower physical activity. There are individual differences, so it's possible that six hours of sleep is also enough.

Increasing your time spent in bed just won't do you any good especially if you suffer from insomnia as you'll most likely just end up lying down the entire night instead of sleeping. Your sleep will simply become shallower and you'll be counterproductive.

## Two Secret Home Remedies to Induce Deep Sleep!

1. Use a Sleep Diary

Sleep diary is being utilized even by medical institutions as a part of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia as it can produce great results. The use of sleep diary will help you learn all your sleeping patterns and habits. It is done by writing down information such as:

- time you went to bed
- time you woke up
- how much time you spend in not being able to sleep in bed (and at what time)
- total sleep time

You can download this sample of a sleep diary. Print it out and use it or create your own sleep diary. Record all information in the sleep diary for 1-2 weeks.

By recording your sleeping patterns every day, you'll be able to determine the best time zone for you to sleep. You'll also be able to figure out the types of daytime activities that interfere with your sleeping behaviors.

2. Muscle Relaxation Method

The second secret home remedy to treat insomnia is to calm the reptilian brain through "muscle relaxation". With muscle relaxation, you tense a group of muscles as you breathe in, and relax them as you breathe out. Doing this repeatedly will help calm or sooth the reptilian brain and induces pleasant drowsiness.

Below are two effective muscle relaxation techniques that can help counter insomnia and calms the reptilian brain.

Note: Sit on a chair, relaxed, and close your eyes. Don't put too much pressure to your spinal column.

- Muscle Relaxation Using the Palm of Your Hand

1. Place both of your hands on top of your thighs and slowly clench your fist as tightly as you can. Hold for 10 seconds.
2. Relax and release the tension at once.
3. Stay in this relaxed state for 20 seconds.
4. Concentrate on the tension flowing away and the way your hands feel as it becomes relaxed.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for two times. Follow the same sequence of muscle tension and release, and try not to tense other muscles.

- Muscle Relaxation Using the Upper Body

1. Raise your shoulders, tighten your arms, and clench your fist while pressing it against your chest. This time, tighten your back muscles and abdominal muscles, too. Hold for 10 seconds.
2. Relax and release the tension at once.
3. Stay in this relaxed state for 20 seconds.
4. Concentrate on the tension flowing away and the way your muscles feel as they become relaxed.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for two times. Follow the same sequence of muscle tension and release, and try not to tense muscles other than your upper body.

## PYRO-ENERGEN Electrostatic Therapy Machine for Insomnia

Taking some herbs, medications, and caffeine may trigger mild insomnia and the only way to prevent this sleeplessness is to stop taking these things altogether.

But some severe chronic cases of insomnia have an unknown cause or can also be caused by rheumatoid arthritis and other underlying health conditions that one may not know about. We strongly believe that this has something to do with our theory of negative energy. Because of this, many people using the PYRO-ENERGEN electrostatic therapy machine are getting relief from countless sleepless nights after just a few days of therapy sessions.
