Blueberry Coconut Smoothie for Slimming Your Tummy Quickly

This blueberry coconut protein smoothie is so rich and creamy you’d think it was a milkshake! Made with only 5 simple ingredients, this refreshing and healthy smoothie is guilt-free and tastes amazing!

I don’t know about you but I like my smoothies thick and creamy, not watery and thin. Hence why I love using unsweetened canned coconut milk in them. It just takes them to a whole new level of creamy goodness. That’s also why I like to use frozen fruits in my smoothies. It just makes them that much creamier.

But enough about creaminess—let’s talk about this smoothie! I love the heck out of blueberries. They’re like antioxidant superheroes. And they taste amazing to top it all off. I only use 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries in this smoothie, but you could honestly use more or less depending on your preference

It is packed with enough proteins to get me through the day with tons of energy.

When I know I’ve got an intense workout that day, I’ll save my smoothie for afterwards. Not only does it give me something to look forward to, but it helps me to recharge.

I could drink this smoothie every day! There’s so much creamy flavor packed into one glass, not to mention how many nutrients in just one sip!

Even if you’re not someone who works out on the daily, you’ll love this smoothie! It’s an easy to way to get the nutrients your body needs to refuel and start your day.

All berries are good for your body, but blueberries are the best of the lot. Blueberries contain high amounts of antioxidants, which bless them with fat-fighting properties.

The nutrients in them help to boost your metabolism, and make your body more efficient in buring calories. They have a low glycaemic index; which means that they will satisfy your sweet tooth without adding extra sugar in your body. Even studies have shown that people who consumed blueberries daily had better shot at belly fat loss than those who did not.

Ingredients:

½ cup frozen blueberries (or more to taste)
1 can coconut milk
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tbs. grounded walnuts
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend for 3-4 minutes, or until smooth. Serve immediately.

Trying to lose weight can be an incredibly frustrating experience for most people. Since our body burns calories, both day and night, the following tips to be followed before bedtime could help in quick and effective weight loss.

Bedtime Tips for Quick Weight Loss

Drink Green Tea: Increasing your metabolism burns calories. Drinking green tea before bedtime increases your metabolic rate, and the increase continues through the night.

Eat Pepper: Scientific studies have shown that one of the most effective ways to burn fat is to eat peppers. Your body continues to burn fat while you sleep as a direct result of including peppers with your meals.

Cut Back on Sugars and Starches: The most important part is to cut back on sugars and starches (carbs) especially before bedtime. These are the foods that stimulate secretion of insulin the most, insulin is the main fat storage hormone in the body. When insulin goes down, fat has an easier time getting out of the fat stores and the body starts burning fats instead of carbs. Another benefit of lowering insulin is that your kidneys shed excess sodium and water out of your body, which reduces bloat and unnecessary water weight.

Improving Sleep Quality: Poor sleep is one of the strongest risk factors for weight gain and obesity. Practicing certain relaxation techniques such as meditation, listening to soothing music, a warm body shower etc. before bedtime could help in calming and relaxing your mind, which would in turn improve the quality of your sleep. This is an important factor for efficient weight loss as sleeping turns up the metabolism, so the longer and better the quality of your sleep the more fat you burn. Sleep also regulates hormones that control appetite and energy production. When you skip sleep, your body produces more ghrelin, which triggers cravings, and less leptin, which makes you feel full and satisfied with your food intake.

If you're trying to lose weight, you probably already know that you need to take in fewer calories each day than you expend. However, this is often easier said than done, making the many diet aids available on the market tempting. Neither papaya nor papaya enzyme does much to promote weight loss, however.

Weight Loss

To lose the kind of weight you want -- presumably, you wish to lose body fat -- you need to force your body to burn the fat for energy. The cells burn stored fat whenever the number of calories you take in each day is less than the number your cells require to maintain function and fuel your activities. The two best ways to lose weight are to eat fewer calories and to burn more through increased activity.

Papaya

One of the common dietary aids rumored to help you lose weight is papaya. You might have heard that the fruit itself is helpful, or you may have heard that you should take papain, which is papaya enzyme, in supplement form. Neither papaya fruit nor papain can cause your cells to burn more fat, however. This is because papaya and papaya enzyme don't affect your metabolism, which is the rate at which your cells burn calories.

Papaya Enzymes

Papaya enzyme is the most common reason some people think papaya makes a good dietary aid. Unfortunately, there's simply no scientific proof to support the idea that papaya enzyme burns fat. Papain is actually a proteolytic, meaning it digests protein. In your body, however, it doesn't appear to do anything. This is because your acidic stomach breaks down the sensitive enzyme and destroys it. Further, proteolytic enzymes have no ability to affect metabolism, according to Drs. Reginald Garrett and Charles Grisham in their book "Biochemistry."

Considerations

There is one indirect way in which papaya can help you lose weight. If you consume papaya instead of other, more calorically dense foods, you will take in fewer calories and will consequently burn fat to make up the deficit. Papaya is full of both water and fiber, which not only benefit your digestive health, says Dr. Lauralee Sherwood in her book "Human Physiology," but also help you feel full longer.

Are you overweight? Do you want to loss weight but tired of exhausting diets? Here is a powerful product that will help you to loss weight.

Have you heard of the Acai berry? They are a natural product for losing weight. And did you know that Oprah Winfrey loss over 30 pounds thanks to them?

Acai berries speed up metabolism

The Acai berry are harvested in the Brazilian rainforest. The taste of the Acai fruit is a mix of strawberry and chocolate flavors. Acai berries are rich in antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids.

Acai berries contain scientifically proven ingredients that help you loss weight. They contain a high concentration of antioxidants that help combat premature aging because they contain 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and 10 to 30 times more anthocyanins than red wine.

Acai berries will not only speed up your metabolism, but also effectively reduce hunger, help in building muscle and give extra energy and vitality that enables us to reshape the body and burn fat. So it is not surprising that the Oprah made show about them, and use them in her diet.

Note that the Acai berry is very sensitive, immediately after harvesting should be somehow preserved by drying, so we can find them usually as a dried powder, as a beverage or as supplements.
Caution:Consume Organic Acai berry always.Never think of taking them in form of pills or anything.They’re all fraud and dangerous for your health.

HOW TO STOP HAIR LOSS IN WOMEN

Enjoy a good night’s sleep and fresh air. Apart from getting sufficient quality sleep, you should also spend at least half an hour in the open air every day.

Quit bad habits. Your health and beauty can be severely affected with bad habits, such as smoking and alcohol.

Avoid excessive heating or cooling of the head. Get into a habit of wearing hats no matter what the season; wool caps are best for winter, and light Panama or straw hats for summer.

Give your hair proper treatment. Have in mind that the less you treat your hair with hot curling irons or hair dryers, the better. You should even stay away from metal combs!

No chemical treatment and hair coloring! This will only worsen the condition. Practice scalp massages with your fingers or a wooden brush as this will not only improve blood circulation, but also strengthen your hair follicles.

Avoid stress. Stress has adverse effects on your overall health including your hair health. Cutting down stress in your life is essential.

Healthy diet is very important. Improper diet, including fasting and vegetarianism, can severely affect your endocrine and digestive system, which, in turn, may give sufficient grounds for alopecia and hair loss in women.

I had super, thirsty dry hair and tried many expensive, cheap and in between hair product to fix dry hair. I also used various masks, treatments, even whatever my hairdresser suggested to me. My hair remained thirsty and nothing worked. I had pretty much lost faith in products.

If you have dry hair, I highly recommend that you nourish your hair once a week with this fantastic hair mask for an all-natural way to moisturize and condition dry, brittle strands and keep your hair looking healthy and vibrant, no matter what the season is.

You will need:

(i) Egg yolk: 2

(ii) Olive oil: 2 tablespoons

Method:

(i) Take an egg and separate the egg yolk from egg white. If your hair is long or thick, you will need two egg yolks so as to provide even coverage. Place the egg yolk in a glass bowl. For dry hair, you only need the yolk, not the white. Egg yolk contains fat and protein that will help moisturize and rejuvenate your dry, lifeless hair.

(ii) Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil per one egg yolk in the bowl. Whisk or use a spoon to mix up the yolk and olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you feel the mixture is too thick, add a little bit of water to the mixture to make it easier to spread evenly onto your hair.

(iii) Massage the mixture evenly into the dry hair. If your hair ends are extra dry, apply extra mask mixture onto your tips than on your roots. Put your hair in a loose bun, cover with a plastic shower cap, leaving the mixture in your hair for a minimum of one hour to work its magic.

(iv) First rinse off the mixture from your hair using lukewarm water, and then shampoo it with lukewarm water to remove excess oil and egg, leaving your hair shiny and soft with no buildup. Be sure to use cool or lukewarm water (avoid hot water) so that the egg yolk doesn’t cook in your hair. If you feel that the smell is still not gone, shampoo your hair once more.

(v) Let your hair air-dry. When done, run your fingers through your hair and voila – feel the touch of your newly hydrated, softer and healthier hair.

Natural Beauty Tips:

(i) If don’t have olive oil handy, but needs a quick natural conditioner, just whisk a whole egg, including yolk and white. Apply the egg into your a little wet hair from the roots to the tips, leaving it on for about 10-15 minutes, and then rinse it out with lukewarm or cool water. This simple conditioner works for any hair type.

(ii) If your hair is exceedingly dry, brittle and damaged, you might like to go for a much more effective hair mask beyond a simple egg and olive oil mask. In such a case consider adding in a teaspoon of one of the following ingredients to make your mask even more effective:

(a) Honey

(b) Aloe vera gel

(c) Milk

(d) Fully ripe mashed banana

(iii) If you want to be more adventurous and experimental, try one of the following oils instead of olive oil to make an egg mask:

(a) Jojoba oil: for oily to normal hair

(b) Almond oil: for normal to dry hair

(iii) Coconut oil: for dry hair

Gray hair is a common part of the aging process and it normally occurs in older people. As we age, our hair follicles slow down the production of melanin which results in growing of gray hair. However, sometimes gray hair starts to grow prematurely and this is why people dye their hair. Fortunately, there are other natural ways to prevent this condition.

NATURAL SOLUTIONS FOR GREY HAIR

ONION JUICE

PREPARATION

Peel the onions and chop them in tiny pieces. Squeeze the onion using a blender, juicer, grater or food processor. Gently massage your scalp with the onion juice, or simply cover the bald patches. Allow it to act for at least 15 minutes or more, if you can stand the smell. Finally, wash your hair with mild shampoo.

This is extremely powerful natural remedy for gray hair. Onion juice is abundant in an enzyme called catalase which can be used for years as a topical treatment for gray hair. Moreover, in the past, many herbalists have been using onions as a natural treatment for gray hair, a long before the hair dyes were invented.

Increase the intake of vitamins

Decreased secretion of melanin usually occurs due to lack of vitamin B12. Also, you will have to take higher amounts of vitamin B and A so that your body will be able to produce enough melanin. Vitamins B and A can be found in green leafy vegetables. Also, banana, yogurt, tomato, cereals, and cauliflower are an excellent source of these vitamins. Consume more eggs, dairy and meat products in order to get enough vitamin B12.

Use Henna on the hair

Instead of using commercial hair conditioners, you can use Henna as an excellent substitute. Apply Henna on your hair before having a bath. This product has the ability to naturally straighten your hair and give your hair its natural color.

Eat food rich in iodine

Iodine can effectively prevent the hair from turning white and grey. For instance, seafood is an excellent source of iodine, as well as bananas and carrots. Instead of table salt, you should use iodine salt in order to increase the iodine intake.

Oregano is a powerful herb with unique healing properties. Oregano oil is the ultimate antibiotic. Oregano oil is the most potent plant oil in the world!

Did you know that oregano has eight times more antioxidants than apples and three times as much as blueberries? Antioxidants are needed to protect our body against free radical damage. They boost the immune-system naturally.

The distribution of oregano oil started in Ancient Greece. In Greek the word oregano is translated as joy of the mountains. The Greeks were first to use oil for medicinal purposes, such as a powerful antiviral, antibacterial, antiseptic, antifungal agent and also as a remedy for pain, and inflammation. It was the main antibacterial tool used by Hippocrates. Oregano leaves were traditionally used to treat illnesses related to the respiratory and digestive systems.

Oregano Oil Is The Ultimate Antibiotic

Oregano essential oil is a mineral density powerhouse. It contains calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, copper, boron, manganese, vitamins C, A (beta-carotene), Niacin.

Oregano oil contains four main groups of chemicals which are active healing agents.

Phenols including carvacrol and thymol. They act as antiseptics and antioxidants. Terpenes including pinene and terpinene. They possess antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anesthetic properties. Linalool and bonreol are two long-chain alcohols found in oregano oil. They exhibit antiviral and antiseptic properties. Esters include linalyl acetate and geranyl acetate. They exhibit antifungal properties. Although all these compounds possess healing properties, the most significant primary compound found in oregano oil is carvacrol. Scientific research has proved carvacrol to be one of the most effective antibiotics known to science.

Not All Oregano Oils Are Created Equally

Real wild Mediterranean Oregano needs to be either of origanum vulgare kind, or Thymus capitatus, which mostly grows in Greece and Spain. It is very important to make sure the Oil of Oregano is derived from these two kinds. It also has to have the carvacrol concentration of 70% or more. Most importantly, oregano essential oil does not create harmful strains in the body and does not have side effects the pharmaceutical antibiotics do.

Moreover, it is effective against the dangerous and even deadly bacteria, without making biological changes in the body. Oregano essential oil nourishes the body and doesn’t deplete it of nutrients like conventional antibiotics do. And if you look at the statistics, people in the Mediterranean live longer for the most part. Maybe partly because of oregano which is added to most Mediterranean dishes!

One of the worst diseases in the world is Alzheimer’s. how can it be avoided and how can memory be rejuvenated again? Below Is the story of Mary T. Newport which is a pediatrician and dealt with her husband’s illness during the 50s.

Steve, her husband had the dementia 5 years before the bad MRI with Alzheimer’s result. This was a really bad stage for him and his shape.

He was confused and defocused and couldn’t even handle cutlery like forks and spoons. And he couldn’t take food of the fridge too! He would forget to give messages to his wife and then remember them few days later…

His parietal and frontal lobes and hippocampus too (and amygdala as well) were really atrophied and damaged a lot. His short term memory as gone and he would create new info in his brain later after some days. Than his wife decided to pay attention to his diet.

He had therapy meds from the doctors but with no result. He was too slim and skinny and had depression as well. His motion got restricted and he had many tremors too. Then his wife searched for other options too for his diet changes.

The drug she discovered was Ketasyn AC 1202 which stopped the Alzheimer’s stages in just 3 months after taking. She examined this and said the main item in this medicine was triglyceride oil. And that meant coconut oil, so she bought it from the health store.

She fed her husband coconut 2 spoons full everyday 2 times per day. 2 months passed and the tremors were removed and after a whole year he recognized faces and even spoke with the family. He went into nature and walked freely on the streets. It was amazing that he read again and improved each day.

She swore by the coconut oil benefit for this improvement.

HOW IS COCONUT GOD FOR THIS ISSUE?

The brain needs food before all else and 60% of glucose of food goes to the brain.

However, the brain does not get every part of the glucose it needs due to hypometabolism or bad cognition work. The byproducts or ketones of fat breakdown are a good option for the brain. They nourish the neurons and nerves after some brain damage.

Some neurons do not absorb the glucose due to resistance to insulin. But ketones could save those cells.

Ketones show after some starvation time but also MCTs when exposed to oxygen together with the liver make more and more ketones. 97% of fats we ingest are long chain triglyceride and have the 18 carbons. A medium chain is of 6-12 carbons.

For Parkinson’s the coconut is also an option, also for drug related epilepsy and diabetes, and even multiple sclerosis.

IF YOU NEED MORE EVIDENCE…
In 2004 a study of the Neurobiology of Aging said the coconut oil makes cognition better and memory improved too. In that study 20 people were involved and they received pacebos and coconut too. After hour and a half, those with coconut stated to have more beta-hydroxybutyrate beta OHB, the most powerful ketone.

They all fasted and ‘starved’ before the experiment and blood testing. Then after 90 min of the coconut method and the cognition test, again. 40 ml was the average dose.

Dr. Mercola stated how Dr. David Perlmutter a good neurologist, claimed avoidance of fat and ingesting loads of carbs is the culprit of the Alzheimer’s and the lifestyle.

Both agreed on fasting as good method and combined with coconut too, to increase more glycogen in the liver. That also removes extra fat deposits and you get to the keto stage easily. This means easy and healthy weight loss and healthier brain, but there is a hazard too. If the ketones are too high, blood acidity rises too and you have ketoacidosis that can be fatal even. Cut the sugars and gluten and keep the gut flora healthy.
