DIET or say Dieting is familiar word with ladies all around the world. literally speaking "Diet" is a sum total food consumed by people.but for many Diet is either to reduce weight or to put on more weight.

I personally think that a healthy diet,one which has equal proportion of green,fruits,lentils, lean meat,yogurt,herbs,juices etc etc.

It is very important for our well-being and body to consumed all those foods that are must for health.

Ok,you can have your limits,like eat your breakfast like a king,say have a bowl of oat with a tbsp of flax seed,slices of grapefruit,kiwi,banana or papaya,and a omlette of egg white with toast.you can even have scramble or plain.yes,this gives your body chance to burn away all the calories that you just ate.

Eat your lunch like a prince,you can have chicken or turkey,small bowl of rice,beans,or a big bowl of salad mixed with all the healthy ingredients like sprouted beans,broccoli,chicken,even fruits,can even have sandwich made whole wheat or 7 grain bread with broiled chicken breast,you can add slices of tomatoes,lettuce and onion.
Or pack lunch of granola bars,raisins,nuts,fruits and cheese.

Dinner should be your smallest meal of the day,that the reason we say "eat you dinner like a pauper".popular advice given by many is not to eat after six,well it is very difficult to follow,but if we keep our dinner light and healthy, watching on what we are eat,thus maintaining our calories and health.Dinner mostly consist of stir fry vegetables,eat more of proteins,risotto,pilaf,fish,yogurt,fruits,salad and a glass of wine.

  • We are suppose to have at least 5-9 serving of fruits.
  • When you are done with the eating,we should always feel good in the end and not tired or stuffed.
  • your stomach is only size of fist,so eat comfortably and handful.
  • Be choosy of your night time snacks.
  • Think of what you can add to your diet,not what you can take away.
  • Everything should be in moderation.
  • Drink eight glasses of water a day.
  • Avoid refined sugars,refined flours as much as you can.
  • Dark chocolate is very good anti-oxidant.
  • eat heart healthy olive oil or grape seed oil.
  • Apple are very good for you as they are loaded with pectin,a great detoxifier.

STRESS................who doesn't have in today's world.stress is like a live walking time bomb in our everyday life.

It is common in our everyday competitive life,it demands from us,it pressures us,brings out our helplessness.....................that is stress.

It is so common among women,who have to juggle .............work and her career,as we are constantly worried about things that are not under our control.
we feel anxiety,tension,challenge seeping into us so unaware
AND if we are not careful,it can harm us physically and psychologically.
Ladies,don't forget.............we have to come out,face it,tackle it and deal with it.
as it is our biggest enemy.
first of all.................find out what is troubling you....what is causing you all that worry........think.....write down if you can......now decide what action can be taken,if it is emotional,then assess your problem............judge it.............whether it is real or more imaginative,
Or is it that you are blowing it out of proportion.................next come out with a plan ............concrete plan for that which is real and under your control.............take action....resolve.
try how much you can............to get satisfaction................and then
let it go...............how............by focusing on something else.............it helps.
emotionally...........come out of situation,meditate............eat healthy..........think positively...........look at the brighter side of life...............there is so much to give and take.
Wipe out all the negativity............take your life as it comes.......as nothing is stand-still............everything changes.............take that change....go for beauty treatment..join health club,spas or even dancing classes...............life has so much to give......open your arms to receive with optimism.

Do we realize life is a virtual gift given to us .

It is for us to do what we want, way we want ,to plan,to fulfill our dreams.

To learn from our past experiences to form our future,inspiration to lead a

meaningful life,

we ask "what difference does it make what your position in life is,if you dislike it

yourself?
says the Roman philosopher.but

It is our Karma,faith that binds us, our Karma is in our own hands,its how we

adapt or mold it.

There are four truths of our life.

Life is suffering,it is a statement ,a reality.every person goes through suffering

in his human life
from birth to death,or be it physically or emotionally.

All this suffering is caused by ignorance,craving and attachment.

This can be ended by overcoming ignorance,attachment.

HOW.........................................by faith,morality,wisdom,right view,right

intention,right action.

overcome greed,lust,hatred,right attitude,to lead a happy and meaningful life.
