When you play cricket or football in or school or college days, we do exercises. Exercise is nothing but trying to utilize all the muscles present in different body parts. When these muscles move, we start losing calories.

So, from the very first day to everyday we should move them to keep them fit and make them strong.  If you think, not using them will increase their strength, then it is wrong concept you are having. The more you use your muscles the more you have them strong.

But if you use then too much, then also it is not so good. So try to exercise at least for 30 -60 minutes everyday. Otherwise you may gain weight and become a patient of obesity. The more you gain weight the more you lose interest in work out, the more you lose interesting the more you gain weight.

The message I want to pass by this post is, do not starve or you may end up eating more than you usually eat. First thing to follow, try to eat something after every 2 hours. So that you never starve. Do not eat in large quantity, eat minimum. Drink lot of water before you eat, it automatically reduces your hunger. Try to eat as much as fruits as you can.

Fruits are better than fruit juice. Fruits contain fibers your body needs. Try to avoid oil and sweet as much as possible.  Walk whenever you get chance. These are simple tips, you follow these and see the results.

To find out the answer, first we need to know, how we lose weight when we start workout? After we start working out, our metabolic rate increases. We spend more calories everyday. And when we start spending more than we take, we actually lose weight.

And it happens just opposite when we stop working out. We keep eating a lot as we used to do, but we do not work out so we do not lose calories. These carbohydrates, proteins everything turns into fat. We start gaining weight. The less our metabolic rate becomes the more we gain weight.

If you are gaining weight, it does not mean you are over eating. But it means that you are intaking more calories than you are burning. Why I am trying to say to avoid oil and sweet?

Simple they contain more calories. You may take not a larger dish, but you may end up taking more calories. So avoid fries and oily foods. But do not say good bye for ever, otherwise your skin may lose glow.

Sweets are also a big source of calories. And you should try to take at less as you can. And if you are eating everything, yet want to lose weight, then start going to gym today. Else see your waistline increasing in weeks.

Do you know you are actually gaining weight when you are sitting on couch and watching TV ? Well if you are not sure how, then let me show you.

Have you seen people around you those who eat more than you, yet they are not heavier than you. How is it possible? They have a higher BMR. So if you want to become and stay slim, you got to increase your BMR. Watching TV for long or spending long hours in front of computer can reduce that. Even while sleeping our BMR increases than when we watch TV.

So what to do?

If you do not get time to work out, then try to walk for at least 45 minutes per day.

When you walk do not walk slowly, walk as fast as you can.

Do not watch TV or seat in front of computer for more than 30 minutes on a run. After each 30 minutes, take a break. Walk few steps, come back and seat.

Are you over weight and want to lose weight by taking pills? So this article is for you. EMA has found that Weight loss pill ‘Reductil’ contains sibutramine that increases blood pressure, which may cause heart problem in future. This result is derived after they studied on 10000 people over 6 years.

People suffering from obesity are already prone to heart problem, then again if they take such pills the risk increases. Anything which increases blood pressure could have side effect. So anyone with heart problem should stop taking it and for those who have not then you should consult doctor and stop taking it.

As this finding has revealed some dangers so usage of sibutramine in clinical practise will be reviewed again. This is used to treat obese people, and EMA has reported 17 deaths in UK due to Reductil use.

Researchers found the Brazilian mints to be as effective as aspirin. From the ancient age Brazilians are using this mint to treat headache and stomach pain and get rid of fever and flu. Now the researchers are taking it seriously and planning to organize clinical studies to verify how much effect it has. And scientists assume that there are more than 50000 plants on this earth having some medical benefits. Many prescribed drugs consist of such molecules which can be found from various plants. For this mint, they have to find out how these mints act as pain killer.

When it is about tea, we like it for many reasons, like to forget something, to think about something, to relax, and a new research shows it I actually help to reduce anxiety.

In the study few people were asked to perform few tasks which increased their anxiety levels, among them, some got tea to drink, and they found to be more relaxed and chattier afterwards, and the other took water, which did not change their mood much.

Tea consist a special amino acid, which increases alertness-making and mind-relaxing. And those who took part in this study stated that they found it relaxing after having tea, so after office do not forget to put your tea kettle on oven.

You can turn to green tea too, as green tea helps you to burn more belly when you exercise. Black tea can help you to keep you fit and free of diabetes type 2. And tea has an anti aging effect too.

Do you drink tea? Or else start having 3 cups every day, as researchers have found out that only 3 cups daily can help to prevent type 2 diabetes. This is not bound to some specific tea, these chemicals are found in all types of teas. But more than 3 cups do not help any more. Most probably the “flavonoid antioxidants” found in tea, helps to prevent diabetes type 2. So if you want to stop diabetes start drinking tea. But the study was not enough to show that which tea is better, black tea or green tea. Most probably the ingredients like caffine, magnesium and potassium do not have any effect to stop diabetes, but the other ingredients those are found in all teas fights to stop type 2 diabetes.

Cholesterol can be controlled without everyday diet and some special herbal tea. Yes, a recent study in Osmania University shows that a special herbal tea can reduce the level of cholesterol if taken for a certain period. Actually the researchers put some herbal components in the tea to understand their role in reducing cholesterol.

The herbal tea was consisted of Terminalia, Arjuna, Rauwolfia serpentine, Sida Cordifolia, Digitalis Pupurea and green tea leaf.  This study was held of 35 people, they took the tea for 45 days. They took it twice daily during these 45 days, and researchers took the reading of the cholesterol before and after these 45 days. And the result was pretty good, as the cholesterol came down from 201.06 milligrammes per decilitre (mg/dl) to 189.93 mg/dl.  Researchers now think this study provided enough evidence to take up commercial production of this tea to help heart patients.
