Feel healthy with aloe

The aloe plant has been used for thousand of years now. It contains a great number of health benefits that has been used for medicinal purposes around the world. Aloe vera, which means “true aloe” in Latin, is the most broadly used and most effective species of aloe.

The leaves of aloe vera plant contain gel - 96 percent of water and about 4 percent of other substances like vitamins, minerals and enzymes which help strengthening the human organism.

Aloe vera can be put in various forms like creams, sprays, liquid, gel and lotion. That is why this plant is used in so many cosmetic products like skin lotions, burn gels, moisturizers and sun screen creams. The aloe content in those products provides a great number of benefits to the health of the person.

One of the most important benefits, as I said it already, is that it strengthens the immune system. Taking pills with aloe content, it will help you avoid colds and some illnesses.

Another important health benefit of aloe plant is that it decreases the pain of a burn very fast. Using aloe vera gel in case of skin wounds, eczema, burns and other injuries it will not only reduces the pain but also helps speed the healing of those skin problems.

Aloe vera in medical skin products also helps acting as an antibacterial agent and protecting the skin against the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

Aloe vera is also beneficial for digestive problems. It provides relief from a wide range of problems such as:
  • Food sensitivities
  • IBD (Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis)
  • Peptic ulcers
  • GORD/GERD (Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease)
  • IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
Aloe vera is also used as a potent drug in some cases.

Gels and sprays with aloe are used in decreasing the pain in the muscles and joints due to arthritis.

The extracts of the healthy component of aloe vera are used in reducing blood sugar levels. Also aloe vera gel provides beneficial effect in lowering cholesterol and blood fat lipid levels.

Coffee - the good and the bad things about it

Image by Ivailo Popov

Almost every man on earth drinks coffee. The cafes on the street are full of people drinking coffee. Also in almost every family there is a coffee maker or at least a packet of coffee. It has become a staple of life.

But is coffee good or bad for you? In my opinion it depends on who you ask.

As in all things, you have to drink coffee moderately. A cup or two a day isn't going to do harm to you. But if you drink a whole pot every single day, it will definitely have an effect on you.

Now I will reveal to you the good and the bad things about the coffee. Lets' start with the benefits of drinking it.

It prevents some diseases of our time:
It reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetis and gout. It is due to the caffeine content of coffee or the antioxidants in it, as it is known that coffee is the no. 1 source of antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances in food which could prevent or slow oxidative damage to human body.

Alertness and mood:
The caffeine content in coffee could increase the speed of rapid information processing by 10%. A cup of coffee after lunch helps to counteract the normal 'post lunch dip' in ability to keep concentration and alertness.

Depression and Anxiety:
The coffee and its caffeine content can reduce depression and anxiety if you drink it moderately. It also improves vigilance and concentration, and lowers fatigue. But if you drink too much coffee per day it could raise stress levels.

It is a good social drink:
A cup of coffee could be a very good reason to go out and meet new people, or just hang out with friends.

And here are some bad effects coffee can have on you:

Bad breath:
Have you ever had a whiff of the breath of someone who drinks coffee too much? It smells horrible. So do not go too far with the coffee, unless you want to have that bad breath.

Coffee causes stained teeth:
We all know that cigarettes and coffee causes this to our teeth. If you do not want to have this kind of problem, the best option is not buying some things for whitening your teeth, but just drink less coffee.

Stomach problems:
People who drink too much coffee may suffer some stomach problems. The caffeine irritates the lining of your stomach.

Sterility:
It could effect the little guys swimming in your semen. It also could lower the quantity of your sperm. I know that it may sound too weird to you, but it is true.

So, if you do not want to suffer these bad effects of the coffee, but only the good ones, just do not overdo it and drink one or two cups of coffee a day.

Cellulite - The Lies And The Truth!

We all know what cellulite is. And we all know that nobody wants to have it. But like it or not, cellulite appears. So we have to fight this problem.

Here you can find some facts and myths about this thing - the cellulite.
  • Cellulite is inherited from the father's side.
Truth. For example, if the grandmother on the father's side has had cellulite, it is very likely that the daughter would inherit it, too. It is just genetic premise.

Truth. Exposing cellulite areas of your body to infrared rays can help you resolve this problem, because at high temperatures human organism burns fatty tissue.

Lie. Because fructose is very easily digested. When there is aptitude for cellulite, the most appropriate fruits are - strawberries, kiwi, pine-apples, apples, pears and citrus fruits. But there are some fruits which you should avoid - bananas, cherries, figs.
  • Cellulite is connected with overweight.
Lie. A lot of models with the perfect bodies have this kind of problem - cellulite, while many plump women do not know what is to have cellulite.

Sleep Loss and Weight Gain - Is There a Connection?

Sleep is essential. When we sleep, we repair our mental and physical condition. And in the morning we feel refreshed and relaxed.

But when we do not sleep enough, then we could suffer depression, heart disease, hypertension, tremors, irritability or even obesity. It is proven that lack of sleep increases the level of an appetite hormone called Cortisol and decreases the level of a hormone that makes you feel satisfied - Leptin. The result may be overeating and weight gain.

Except for this, sleep deprivation can cause obesity by affecting our behavior.
People are often too tired to exercise. They usually feel exhausted and do not want or even do not have the energy and motivation to do just simple exercises. They rather go to sleep, than go physical.

People who cannot sleep well tend to eat more sweets, chips, cakes, fries, burgers, soft drinks, etc. The extra calories, brought on by these snacks, are not needed by the body and they will be stored as body fat.

According to experts, most people need seven to nine hours per night. But there are some adults who can do with less, and others who need more to be in top condition during the day.

Until now a lot of people do not know exactly how much sleep they need. Eve Van Cauter, professor of medicine at the University of Chicago, recommends this: "The next time you are on vacation, just sleep as much as you can the first two or three days. This way you can pay off your sleep debt, she declares. And when you start sleeping well, record how much you sleep, plus or minus 15 minutes. That will be your sleep need or capacity."

So, getting your sleep problems determined and treated could be the first step in accomplishing your goals about losing weight. If you have tried everything to lose weight and nothing has changed, just do not give up. Lack of sleep may be the reason that keeps you away from achieving the perfect body and condition you want.

The simple thing you should do is to sleep more or at least as much as you feel good with, relax more often and enjoy life! weight loss, losing weight, sleep loss, weight, slimmer, thinner
