How to Increase Your Energy Levels Naturally

Image
Everyday I hear the same complaints from the same people about how tired they are, how stressed they are etc. with no solution in sight! The key is to correct the situation versus standing idle and accepting it. Forget about the energy drinks or pills. Learn to increase your energy naturally, and have a healthy steady supply to get you through each day. By adjusting your personal eating, sleeping and exercise habits, you can boost your energy the natural way and settle into a self-sustaining rhythm. Essential Water  – Keep your body hydrated throughout the day. The first sign of dehydration is fatigue. Your body can't function at capacity without that good old H2O. A steady supply of water will naturally keep things flowing–including your energy. Improve Sleeping Habits  – Often a small adjustment of your sleeping habits can already do wonders for your energy levels. Lying in bed is not sleeping:  Don't go to bed if your not sleepy and end up lying in bed pondering and stressin

Grooming Tips for Men

Women give top priority to grooming themselves and ensuring they are perfectly well-kept with scores and scores of help from all over the place. However, men get the short end of the stick because they're expected to not care about this stuff and be 'rugged'. We disagree, for a machine to run well, fuel is required and for you to look good maintenance is required. We know you might be shy of openly admitting to spending time primping yourselves but this can be our little secret. Here's some makeover tips for you: 1. To Begin With:  Always keep your nails short and clean. Shoes and watches are a man's pride and you're judged based on these two things so ensure your shoes are well-maintained and polished. Find a watch that compiments you and spells classy at the same time.(We don't mean expensive but just stylish!). 2. Exfoliate:  Everyday you expose yourself to dirt and grime and simply splashing water on your face does not clean it off which results in unhea

4 mistakes men make when dealing with women!

It's a known fact that women are complex creatures. We, as women understand that too. But that does not excuse some of the behavior that comes our way. We may not know exactly what we want but we definitely know what we don't want.  From men who come on too strong to the nonchalant breed, we've seen it all and come out stronger. In addition, times have also evolved drastically.  More than the feeling of wanting to be independent and have our own careers and opinions (yes we have them) we feel as if we deserve all that and much more.  Men receive a lot of dating advice, from friends to mothers.  Some of it is useful while the rest is useless.  If you don't want to send a woman screaming in the opposite direction, then don't commit any of the following mistakes. 1) Acting Cheap Even in today's modern times, chivalry is appreciated. While it's true that you don't want the sort of women who runs behind a fat wallet, we are drawn to men to can protect us and

We all know that you are what you eat but did you know that as well changing your looks, food can also affect the way you feel? "Everything from the state of your skin and hair to your concentration levels and moods can be improved by eating healthy, tasty, nutritious foods," says celebrity nutritionist Amanda Ursell. Faddy diets and junk food can make you lethargic and depressed, but taking control of what you eat means taking control of your life.   1) Eat Yourself…Smart! It's tempting to comfort-eat during exams or before a big meeting, but treating your body to the nutrients that make you bright and alert means you'll get results you deserve. Foods rich in Omega 3 oils are vital for our brains to work fully. • Fish: The best food for Omega 3 is salmon. Have it canned, baked or smoked in salads but limited your intake to a couple of times a week. • Walnuts : Nibble brain-enhancing walnuts instead of sweets, which give a sugar rush and then a crash. • Spaghetti with

Forgiveness is Divine

FORGIVENESS IS DIVINE  "Surely Allah loves those who constantly turn to Him in repentance and those who keep themselves pure" (Quran-Surah al-Baqarah 2:222) We are now entering the second ten days of Ramadaan , the days when we have the opportunity to beg Allah for forgiveness. There is a du'a (prayer) we are encouraged to recite throughout these ten days, but how mindful are we of the benefits of these days? It is not enough to beg for Allah's forgiveness. If we have wronged someone, we should ask for that person's forgiveness.  Sometimes the person will forgive, sometimes not. Once you have done your part, turn to Allah in repentance for the act. If someone has wronged you, are you still carrying that resentment? Often we believe that in forgiving someone we are we are either excusing or condoning the behaviour. Forgiving a wrong brings peace to us. It releases us from the feelings of hurt, anger, and resentment which will poison us and affect ever
