Getting Rid of Fat Face

While you may have worked really hard to lose weight, it is still a challenge to look slim without knowing how to reduce fat from face. If your face is slim, you can work on just the dressing to appear slim, but however slim you may be, if your face is fat, it does give an impression of fatness. Here are some tried and tested diet suggestions and face workouts on how to lose face fat and make all that dieting count.

Diet tips: how to reduce Face Fat

While there are so many diet plans available, and looking at it logically, anything that helps loose fat from the body will help loose fat from the face too. However its not always in proportion. With some diet plans, the face starts to appear weak and dull, and the body does not seem to change, and with some others, you need to tell people that you have lost weight, while your face tells a different tale. Here are some diet tips that are sure to reduce facial fat.

1. Drinking a lot of water

This is probably the rule number one of every diet in the world. Water flushes away the toxins, which are little molecules surrounded and supported by fat. As water washes them out, the fat cells attached to them become free to be eliminated from the body. Maintaining a water intake of 10 glasses a day will keep those toxins away and thus the fat.

2. Reduced salt and sugar

Both salt and sugar are destructive when it comes to face fat. While salt makes your muscles retain water, sugar stores fat. So whatever diet plan you follow, limit the intake of salt to only what is necessary for the electrolyte balance of the boy, and reduce the sugar as much as possible.

3. Include fruits and vegetables rich in fiber

Fruits and vegetables rich in fiber, promote faster metabolism, which in turn burns fat faster and helps chisel those chubby cheeks. Include mid meal snacks in the form of fruits and salads, to cut the face fat while adding glow to the skin.

4. Right Kind of Oils

Including a spoonful pure coconut/sesame/olive cold pressed oil or desi ghee in your diet, has a fat burning effect on your body. It is so effective that even massaging the face with a few drops of these oils daily before bedtime helps to lose face fat.

5. Portion Control

Needless to mention for the dieters, you have to limit your calorie intake from 1000-1500 calories per day depending on your weight. Choose food that is low in calories and rich in nutrients that will help burn that stored fat below those cheeks and chin, and provide nourishment to skin and body.

Face Workout: How to lose face fat

Nothing can be toned without working out the muscles, especially the face. The face muscles loosen with age and leads to sagging skin. Loosing weight adds on to the sagging, and it is an irreversible change, unless you opt for surgery. Facial workouts are therefore very important as you start dieting. Here are some essential workouts that will tone your facial muscles and help reduce the fat from face.

1.Chin Raises

Tilt your head towards the ceiling, the maximum that you can and keep looking at it. Now make a pout as it trying to kiss, and feel the stretch in your neck and chin muscles. Hold this for 15 seconds and repeat 10 times every day. The biggest facial problem area in most men and women is the double chin, and this is sure to reduce it.

2. Cheek Twist

Breathe in from your mouth and trap that air within your cheeks. Now try to push the air to one cheek and then another. Repeat this passing 20 times and then hold the air in each cheek for 15 seconds. Release and repeat 10 times. The best part of this workout is that it can be done while driving or watching television or working on your laptop. This helps chisel the cheek bones and reduce fat below them.

3. Fish Face

It is another super exercise to reduce fat from face, especially below the cheek. Suck your cheeks in, and hold for 20 seconds. Resist the urge to give in to the resistance by your cheeks and repeat 10 times.

4. Pronouncing “A” “O”

Pronounce a long “A” with the widest smile and then an elongated “O” while bringing the lips as forward as possible. Hold the position for 3 seconds each time and repeat 50 times.

5. Lower Jaw Movement

Close your mouth, while in a sitting position, and bring your lower jaw forward without opening the mouth. This will burn the fat from your jawline right off.

Apart from all this, you can get a lifting facial massage done by a trained therapist once a month, which will help to tone all the facial muscles and improve blood circulation in the face. You can use some contour and highlight makeup to make your face look slimmer till you actually achieve it with proper diet and exercise. Eat well, stay healthy and think thin!

How To Deal With Those Middle-Of-The-Night Leg Cramps

©

There's nothing quite like the cocktail of surprise, anger, agony, and dismay that comes with being woken up by the intense pain of a charley horse. These cramps in your legs (usually the calves) mean that your muscles have spontaneously decided to spasm and tense up while you were just hanging out asleep. As mysterious — and shockingly painful — as these middle-of-the-night cramps are, there are (thank god) some ways to prevent them.

Unfortunately, it's not always possible to figure out why these cramps creep up. But, as MedLine explains, taking certain medications (such as diuretics), or exercising while low on calcium, potassium, or magnesium may make them more likely.

The most common culprits, though, are overusing those leg muscles and being dehydrated. And they're most likely to strike after you've been standing or sitting for a long period of time. So spending hours standing at a concert where you barely sipped any water is the perfect recipe for a late-night charley horse.

Leg cramps are also common among people who are pregnant, especially during the second and third trimesters, writes Myra Wick, MD, PhD, at the Mayo Clinic. However, it's not exactly clear why cramps are so common during pregnancy. According to the American Pregnancy Association, it may be due to a combination of weight gain, pressure on nerves, and changes in your blood flow.

You can prevent muscle spasms during the night by stretching out those muscles before climbing into bed. The Cleveland Clinic suggests doing calf stretches against a wall or using a towel to hold your leg out in front of you while seated. You can also make cramps less likely by staying hydrated, exercising regularly, and wearing supportive footwear during the day. And because of the aforementioned potential link between being low on magnesium, calcium, or potassium and cramps, it's worth trying to eat plenty of fruits and leafy green veggies.

Should you experience a charley horse, the best thing you can do is (unfortunately) get out of bed, walk around, and do a few of those same stretches. Otherwise, you're just stuck waiting. Luckily, they only last a few minutes at most, although you could feel some soreness for a couple of days after the cramp.

However, there are some cases in which frequent leg cramps may be symptoms of a more serious issue, such as thyroid disease or diabetes. But don't jump to conclusions: If those conditions are actually responsible for your cramping, you'll also have other more serious symptoms that will signal something's wrong. If you're concerned about your leg cramps, or your cramps are persisting even after regular stretching, it's best to check in with your doctor. You and your legs deserve a pain-free night's sleep.

These 10 Habits Mean You’re a Likable Person

It is easy for people to convince themselves that they don’t need to be likable. The difficult truth is even the biggest introvert needs to be liked by at least one person otherwise, it’s a really lonely world out there. If you find yourself not being included in work lunches or Friday evening plans, you may want to do some things that you probably already do more often and with a conscious thought process to make yourself more likable. There are certain habits that people who are likable often have.

In our day to day lives usually we see the same people everyday. There are people we like to be around and others we generally would rather avoid or not see at all. You see them coming towards you and you immediately start coming up with ways to avoid having a conversation with them. On the flip side, there are people you can’t wait to see on a Monday morning to share details of your weekend because they are just nice people to be around. These people have really good social skills and they tend to be very likable.

Some of the habits noted below are things you may have noticed about people who are likable. They are habits that you may already have but need to do more often.

1. You are not a know-it-all.

You don’t jump into conversations and act like you know everything. You listen to other people and you ask appropriate questions. You tend to make people feel good about themselves. People find themselves gravitating to you for advice or just small talk.

2. You mind your own business.

You aren’t a snob but you generally don’t give your input where it is not needed. It is quite annoying when you have a person in the office who eavesdrop on conversations and provides their opinions when they aren’t invited to do so. You know when you are needed and when it is a good idea to keep a low profile.

3. You don’t hold grudges.

You let things go especially when the argument is inconsequential. You have learned over time to be the bigger person which makes you win people’s admiration. People like you because they have a clean slate with you. You are not a pushover because you let people know what they have crossed the line but you also don’t hold it against them in the long run.

4. You are patient.

You give people opportunities, room to grow, and space to inherently make mistakes. You know that everything in life has a learning curve and you give people around you a chance to grow into themselves. This makes you more likable because people can trust you. You are often the person people come to for help around the office if something isn’t working.

5. You give compliments.

You notice things about people which means you are not self centered. Often people see you and they smile genuinely because they are happy to see you. People subconsciously remember you said something nice about them which makes you more likable.

6. You notice the good things about people.

Sometimes, it is difficult to work with people who have different personalities especially when they are so different from our own. You are able to see the good in people and focus more on it than on the bad which has opened many opportunities for you because you are likable. You are able to capitalize on the good things and people feel appreciated around you.

7. You don’t jump into conclusions.

There is nothing more annoying than someone who doesn’t know all the facts forming an inappropriate or unfair conclusion. You take in the details and weigh all the facts. That way you don’t come of as unfair or biased. People respect you and like you more because you take time to analyze issues before making premature conclusions.

8. You are genuine.

It is becoming harder to meet genuine people these days which makes you more likable. You are not phony and you also don’t entertain fake people. You give constructive criticism and people often come to you when they have an issue they need to resolve because they know you genuinely care about them. Once you have built a reputation for being genuine, anything you say or do for them comes from a good place. When people need your help they know they can count on you to provide adequate support without taking all the credit.

9. You are generous.

You are not stingy with good things. If you find a discount or deal, you share it with the people around you. You are the type of person who brings snacks from the places you have been on vacation to the office. If there is something you can do to help someone you find a way to extend yourself which makes people like you. You help when needed without being overbearing.

10. You are a confidant.

You can be relied on to keep people’s secrets. You do not betray confidences and people trust you. You know how sensitive information can be and you are keen to ensure that you don’t let the people that trust you down.

This Is How You Become Unattractive And You’re Not Aware of It

Everyone strives to be a great person, kind, caring, and compassionate. But for some people, that’s not always the case. There are many behaviors or ‘bad habits’ that people have that make them seem unattractive, annoying, or someone that no one wants to be around with. A few of these harmful characteristics are offered for you below, and if you happen to realize that you embody any of them – quit! You might find your circle of friends grow once you do.

1. You are Self-Absorbed

Many people do this without realizing it. You focus solely on yourself, talk only about yourself, and often don’t care what others around you have to say. You think you’re the only one that matters. If this is you, it’s time to change. No one wants to be friend with someone who only cares about themselves.

2. You Focus on Outer Beauty, Ignoring What’s Inside

Surprisingly, true beauty comes from within your heart, body, and soul. Your physical appearance isn’t something that matters the most, but people with unattractive behaviors think that outer beauty is all that matters. Take a look in the mirror – deep within yourself – and you might see what lies beneath. An ugly person. Unless you change your way of thinking.

3. You are Always in Competition

Are you the person who has to be better than everyone else, see more, do more? If so, you’re an unattractive person. You should care more about your friends, and let them have their moment. If they overcame their fear of heights and climbed 10 feet in the air, don’t say, “That’s all? I’ve climbed 30 feet!” Instead say, “Wow! That’s awesome. I’m really proud of you.”

4. You View Your Friends as Enemies

People who are seen as unattractive are often in fights with their friends. Instead of banning together and truly being able to care for others, you’re always turning your back, and stabbing them in theirs. Your friends are not your enemies. They are your allies.

5. You Question Your Importance to Others

You are definitely an unattractive person when you constantly question why others don’t see you as important as you think they should. For instance, your two friends went somewhere without you – it doesn’t matter to them – but to you it does. Get over it. They’re still your friend, and their lives don’t stop when you’re not around.

6. You are the Boss

In a group of friends, everyone should be on an equal playing field. If you’re the one always making decisions, constantly needing to be in charge, or trying to control what others are doing, you’re acting in an unattractive way.

7. You are Dishonest

When it comes to being a great friend, or someone whom others want to be around, you need to be honest. Many people who partake in ugly behaviors are often dishonest, lying about everything, inquiring about every question asked about them, and how they truly feel about different things. Yes, honesty is the best policy.

8. You are Rude

If you’re the person that’s frequently impolite, offensive, or embarrassing your friends with your rude comments in public – quit. You’re not someone people would want to be around. There are going to be times when you don’t agree with someone, or see something you didn’t want to see, but there’s no point in making a scene, because you’re making everyone look at your terrible behavior and they’re not seeing what you’re seeing.

9. You are Unreliable, Yet Dependent Upon Others

Are you there when your friends call for help? Or are you always busy when someone needs you? If you’re the person no one can count on, that’s an unattractive quality in friendships. Similarly, if you’re the one always calling for help from others, yet never offering yours when they need it, that’s another unattractive quality that no one wants in a friend.

10. You are Always Negative

Pessimism is not an attractive quality. If you’re constantly putting things down, or seeing situations in a negative light, try and change your attitude. Nobody wants to be friends with someone who’s constantly seeing the negative instead of the positive.

8 Signs You Have A Strong Personality That Might Scare Some People

When people encounter someone with a strong personality, they don’t understand the kind of person they are dealing with.

Some people think you dominate. Some just think you are rude. But none of these are the truth. These words actually do not reflect your personality at all. In fact, strong people are often kittens on the inside. It’s just that people with domineering personalities just give you a bad rep.

Strong people do not have to win, they just are not willing to let other people walk all over them on the outside.

Sure, some people might be afraid of you. But that is only because they do not understand how you can be so comfortable with yourself that you do not need anyone else to validate you.

Here are eight signs that you have a strong personality that might scare some people.

You Don’t Put Up With Excuses

Strong personalities do not put up with excuses. When you have a strong personality, you’re not willing to listen to people waste time whining about what they can do. You would rather focus on what you can do and how you can overcome obstacles to do more.

Don’t question yourself for not making excuses. There might be a lot of reasons that you can’t do something but there are more reasons that you can.

You Are Careful About Who You Let Into Your Life

As a strong person, you do not rely on other people to tell you who you are, what you are or what you can do. You recognize that some people need to do that to make themselves feel better. You also recognize that some people need to hear these things to feel whole.

Even if you don’t yet know exactly who you are, you know that you do not need a boyfriend, girlfriend, boss, best friend or family member to tell you what you’re capable of. You can figure that out on your own.

You Hate Small Talk

Small talk is terrible. If you have a strong personality, you have a lot of ideas. You do not want to waste time talking about people when you could be changing the world.

You Can’t Stand Insensitivity, Idiocy or Ignorance

Dominating personalities come from a lack of influence or knowledge. Strong personalities are the result of being thoughtful and well-informed. There is a huge difference between the two.

Because you have put time and effort into using your brain for good, you hate it when people make instant judgements about things they do not know anything about. This is probably your best quality but not because you can use your knowledge to influence people. It is because you can use it to encourage people to actually think about what they say before it falls out of their mouth.

You Know How to Listen

People with strong personalities know how to listen. You might think that people would appreciate this. But in reality, being heard and encouraged actually terrifies people who are not used to it.

You Do Not Need Attention

Having this type of personality means that you do not need attention. Most people that you encounter think that you thrive on it but this is not the truth. It just that your personality attracts people to you. The amount of socializing you do is not because you want to do it but because people need people like you around.

Despite this perception, you still need time to recharge. Don’t be afraid to take it. It is just as important to take care of yourself as it is to take care of other people.

You Are Fearless

Okay, this one is not true. There is probably one thing that you are afraid of. But the difference between you and other people is that you do not let this fear dictate the way you live your life.

You Take Insecurity As An Opportunity

Insecurity for you is an opportunity to do better. You know you’re not perfect but if you are not trying to learn and evolve, despite the risk of looking like a fool, then you are not living. You are just existing.

They say everyone is insecure and this is probably true. But not everyone has to stop this insecurity from letting them live their life and own the things that they are insecure about.

Sure, some people think that people with big personalities are difficult to be around. But you’re only difficult to be around because you challenge other people to be the best version of themselves! If this is what being difficult is like than you already know that it is best to just keep being you.
