7 Easy Weight Loss Tips
It’s swimsuit season ladies & gentlemen and if you haven’t already started to panic you may once you take your swim suit of its drawer or shop to buy a new one.
You don’t need to compromise your complexion to get the beach body you’ve always wanted – you can lose weight AND wrinkles with this easy eating plan.
#1 SPICE UP YOUR LIFE
Sprinkle, chop, grate and grind at least three herbs and spices on to every meal. You are not only adding extra flavor but also a range of different skin and brain-friendly antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Herbs have medicinal powers as well. It is a way of upgrading your nutrient intake without supplements. Some spices also increase your metabolism, and make you feel fuller and more satisfied.
#2 SNACK ON YOGURT
The low fat (not fat free) variety, not the sugar-filled creamy kind. You can add a teaspoon of sugar-free jam or honey or a teaspoon of cinnamon. High in protein and calcium, low fat yoghurt may also help to burn fat.
#3 EAT FISH EVERY DAY
Because you only want to eat quality protein, try to eat fish every day as well as lots of chicken, eggs and low-fat diary products. Lean cuts of red meats are fine once a week. Fish that are high in beneficial omega fats – especially salmon and mackerel – can be eaten up to four times a week.
#4 MAKE SUGAR YOUR ENEMY
Keeping your blood-sugar level is important for controlling food cravings. Sugar is also aging for your skin. That means eliminating sugar in its many forms. Sugar cans even be found in supposedly healthy snack bars and breakfast cereals.
#5 FEEL FULLER WITH FIBER
High fiber foods are good for keeping blood sugar balanced and helping you feel full. Go for whole grains, such as brown rice and oatmeal, as well as lots of greens, root vegetables, peas, beans and lentils, seeds and nuts.
#6 DRINK WATER
Try to drink around 6-8 glasses of water every day.
You can also get water from fruit and vegetables: apples, broccoli, grapes, lettuce, peaches and tomatoes are all around 80-90 per cent fluid. If you are hungry between meals have an 8 ounce glass of room-temperature water with lemon or a cup of tea. Wait 20 minutes.
If you are still hungry have an apple.
#7 MEASURE YOUR PLATE
No more than a third of your plate should be animal based (ie protein, like chicken, fish, eggs and meat). the remaining two thirds should be made up of either two or more different vegetables plus healthy whole grains such as lentils, brown rice or pasta.
If you try to follow these seven simple rules not only will you notice a difference in your weight and appearance but you will feel a whole lot better in yourself.

Heart Monitors
Heart Rate Monitors
Heart rate monitors used to be exclusively operated by physicians and nurses alone but that was soon rectified with today’s multi-tasking generation. Every person seemed to want to know about everything that was related to them and that of course included monitoring their own heartbeats.
What is a Heart Monitor?
Also known as a cardiac monitor, a heart monitor is a piece of electronic equipment that can be used to track or observe heart functions continuously.
It allows people to place a numerical value on their healthiness based on their heart rate and have a target heart rate to work for. The more complex versions of the heart monitor allow physicians to see any signs of deterioration or improvement and make the necessary adjustments immediately.
Types of Heart Monitors
Today, heart monitors are produced by the millions and designed to cater specific types of individuals. Some heart monitors are primarily designed for weight loss programs while others are meant for the use of athletes or fitness programs.
Some are wireless or come as a built-in feature of exercise equipment like a treadmill or an exercise bike. It can be strapped to your wrist or of considerable size. It may or may not emit any electromagnetic waves, depending on its purpose. A fetal heart monitor, for instance, must not produce any waves at all as this may affect the health of the baby.
Factors on Selecting the Best Heart Monitor for You
ECG-Accurate Monitors with Chest Straps – Heart monitors that come with chest straps are more often not the most accurate of heart monitors. The chest strap is strapped around your chest, a few centimeters below your breast.
It contains a device that’s able to detect electrical activity of your heart and transmit it to the brain of the machine – just like an ECG. The results are shown on the display monitor, which most of the times is attached to your wrist like a watch. Others however prefer results to be transmitted through audio messages via earphones.
Upon choosing heart monitors with chest straps, you need to remember to keep the strap constantly connected to your body lest you want the heart monitor to produce inaccurate readings.
Lastly, the only alternative against buying heart monitors with chest straps are the ones that rely on pulses on your fingertips. These however do not provide readings as accurate as those with chest straps.
Heart Monitor Features – Basic and lower end models tend to display only your heart rate and maybe the elapsed exercise time as well. This of course does not provide sufficient information if you want to know exactly how much you need to improve before you can be qualified as a completely healthy individual. Higher end models will naturally offer a wider range of features – for a price. Examples of such features are – but not limited to – heart rate zone alarms, timers and number of calories burned. It may also allow users to set pre-programmed workouts along with a targeted heart rate.
Ease of Use – Lastly, you must purchase a heart rate monitor that you will have no problems of using. What good would a high end heart monitor do if it takes you an hour to operate it? Are the numbers and words appearing in the heart rate monitor readable? Can it be used in no-light situations? Are buttons well-labeled and ergonomically positioned?
To Buy or Not to Buy a Heart Monitor
Heart monitors can be especially costly, more so if you are intent on purchasing higher-end models. If you have a limited budget, you should ask yourself whether or not you truly need to buy a heart monitor. You can of course purchase one of the lower-end models but low quality heart monitors can lead to inaccurate results and that sort of defeats the purpose of buying one.
If you are intent on purchasing a heart monitor, you need to ask yourself another question: do you need to make a solo purchase or is it alright with you to use the heart monitor that comes as a built-in feature of a treadmill? Lastly, you should remember as well that you can always pay your doctor regular visits and have him monitor your heart rate for you.
