Daily Diet for Working Women

Health experts suggest women make time for food breaks. Make a custom food chart to maintain a healthy diet and avoid hunger pangs during the day. It can be fun! Use these points as a guide.

7 am: Begin with lemon

"Add three teaspoons of lemon juice to lukewarm water and drink it first thing in the morning," says Dr Ravneet Arora, a nutritionist. This concoction facilitates absorption of nutrients and eliminates fat from the body.

7.30 am: Tea and Biscuits

Biscuits prevent acidity in the morning. "Eat digestive biscuits or cream crackers which give the body fibre," says Dr Arora.

8.30 am: Breakfast like a queen

"You should eat plenty of carbohydrates in the morning to give your body enough calories for the day," says Rajesh Desai, a fitness expert. Dr Arora says a good breakfast should include one of the following: wheat/oat flakes with milk or a brown bread sandwich.

"Breakfast should be a full meal because the stomach has been empty for 10-12 hours," she says.

11.30 am: Mid-morning snack

"Drink fresh fruit juice to speed up fat absorption. Squeeze in two biscuits or plain wheat khakras to avoid feeling too hungry by lunchtime," says Dr Arora.

2 pm: Eat lunch like a common man

Lunch should be lighter than breakfast to avoid feeling lethargic in the afternoon, says Desai. "Lunch should fulfill your nutritional requirements for the day. It can include salad, wheat," says Dr Arora.

5 pm: Mid-evening snack

Dr Arora recommends eating at least one seasonal fruit along with some roasted nuts, popcorn or whole wheat bread in the evening. "A handful of roasted nuts are ideal since they satisfy your hunger without getting too many calories in," she says.

8 pm: Eat dinner like a pauper

According to Desai, dinner should be the lightest meal of the day. "Dinner should include soup, porridge or salad, with wheat ," says Dr Arora.

10 pm: A glass of warm milk?

Before going to bed. "It takes care of your calcium intake and some claim it helps them sleep better," says Dr Arora.

"Your metabolism depends on the frequency of eating and the amount of exercise you do," Dr. Arora adds.

So pin up this timetable at the soft board on your desk, or set reminders on your cell phone. You need to eat every 2- 3 hours to stay healthy.

One Paragraph that Explains LIFE

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of CANCER.

From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed:

"Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?

To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over -- 5 children start playing tennis, 50 learn to play tennis, 5 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbeldon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD "Why me?"

And today in pain I should not be asking GOD "Why me?"

Happiness keeps u Sweet, Trials keep u Strong, Sorrow keeps u Human, Failure Keeps u Humble, Success keeps u Glowing, But only God Keeps u Going.....

If I were to say, "God, why me?" about the bad things, then I should have said,

"God, why me?" about the good things that happened in my life.

Arthur Ashe

Two Patient's Wisdom

Women spend 8,000 minutes a year nagging their husbands

Survey Said :

London: Although some women may gripe about their husbands being a nag, a new study says the reality is it`s the fair sex which spends 7,920 minutes a year nagging their hubbies about household work, drinking and their health.

And, this equals two-and-a-half hours of ear-bashing each week -- which totals 11 hours a month or five-and-a-half days a year, according to the study which is based on a survey

of 3,000 people carried out by health campaign group Everyman.

The survey concluded the most common subject women nagged their partners about was not helping to tidy the home.

Other complaints included not helping to wash dishes, drinking too much and not visiting the doctor to get checked out.

The majority of women were not ashamed about nagging, with 87 per cent admitting to giving their partner a hard time to get them to do something. While most men said they would never admit it, 83 per cent surveyed said they often thought their partner was right to nag them, the `Daily Mail` reported. Although nagging is often an unwelcome aspect of a relationship, the strategy appeared to be quite effective according to the results of the study.

Nearly half the men questioned said they "gave in" after an hour if their partner carried on with the topic while a further 21 per cent caved in after a couple of hours for the sake of having a "quiet life", the study found.

Breast Enhancing Diet

Getting bigger breasts is a wish that many women have throughout the world. And unfortunately, the only popular way has been to get expensive and risky surgery.

This is a big problem, leaving many women lacking in self confidence, but it's actually quite easy to solve.

There are millions of women throughout the world who would like to get bigger breasts, and to do it, you just need to be able to do one thing well – you need to be able to get a lot of estrogen into your body. Estrogen is the "female hormone", which is responsible for making your body more curvy and your breasts bigger. It's also the reason why so many women have breasts that they'd rather grow.

The problem with estrogen is simple. You see, during puberty, this hormone is pumped through your body to make it change from that of a girl into a woman. Estrogen kick-starts your menstrual cycle, makes you more curvy and starts to grow the breasts. It's very important, and the reason why so many women don't have the breasts they'd want, is because they come out of puberty too early, preventing their breasts from developing properly.

From the ages of 12-16, women's bodies are full of estrogen. This is puberty and now is the time when most changes happen. However, when puberty stops, the levels of estrogen in your body are dramatically reduced, leaving your breasts to remain at that size throughout your adult life. This means that to make your breasts grow bigger naturally, you just need to be able to consume more estrogen, and luckily, it's a naturally occurring substance which you can get from many different plants and herbs.

Estrogen is present in plants, where it is called "Phyto-Estrogen" (literally translated as "plant estrogen"). Because estrogen is available from nature, you can actually consume it from the food such as flax seeds, soy beans and even Tofu. There is a wide variety of estrogen-rich foods, which you can eat to make your breasts grow by up to one-two cup sizes.

Note :

However, you need to be careful because there's a certain level of estrogen that is effective... otherwise, it can leave unwanted side effects on your body.

So now having bigger breasts is not a fantasy. Chomp your way into these foods and watch heads turn!

Alexander the Great... worth reading...

The great greek king Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and he was bedridden for months. With death drawing close, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no use.

He called his generals and said, " I will depart from this world soon. But I have three wishes. Please fufill my wishes without fail." With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wishes.

" My first desire is that, " said Alexander, "my physicians alone must carry my coffin. "

" Secondly when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard should be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasure.

My third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept dangling out of my coffin.

The people who had gathered there wondered at the king's strange wishes. But no one dared to question. Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. " O king, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes ?"

At this Alexander took a deep breath and said, " I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learned. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure anybody. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let not people take life for granted. The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a fraction of gold can be taken by me. Let people realize that it is sheer waste of time to chase wealth.

And about my third wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin, I want people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty handed I go out of this world."

Alexander's last words: " Bury my body, do not build any monument, keep my hands outside so that the world knows the person who won the world had nothing in his hands when dying".

Discover the 90/10 Principle... must read !

90/10 Principle

by : Stephen Covey

It will change your life

( or at least, the way you react to a situations)

What is this Principle ?

10% of life is made up of what happens to you .

90% of life is decided by how you react ....

What does this mean ?

We really have NO control over 10% of

what happens to us.

We have NO control over this 10%.

The other 90% is different. How ? ... By your reaction.

You cannot control a red light. However, you can control your reaction.

Do not let people fool you. You can control how you react.

Let us use an example ....

You are having breakfast with your family.

Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt.

You have no control over what has just happened.

What happens next will be determined by how you react.

You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over.

She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your wife

and you criticise her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table.

A short verbal battle follows.

You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs,

you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish her

breakfast and getting ready to go to school. She misses the bus.

Your spouse must leave immediately for work.

You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school.

Because you are late, you drive 40 miles per hour

in a 30 mph speed limit zone.

After a 15 minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away,

you arrive at school, your daughter runs into the building

without saying goodbye.

After arriving at the office 20 minute late,

You realize you forgot your briefcase.

Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems

to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home.

When you arrive home, you find a small wedge

in your relationship with your wife and daughter.

Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning.

Why did you have a bad day ?

A) Did the coffee cause it ?

B) Did your daughter cause it ?

C) Did the policeman cause it ?

D) Did you cause it ?

The answer is "D"

You had no control over what happened with the coffee.

How you reacted in those 5 seconds

is what caused your bad day.

Here is what could have and should have happened.

Coffee splashes over you.

Your daughter is about to cry.

You gently say:

" It's okay honey, you just need to be More careful next time."

Grabbing a towel you go upstairs and change your shirt.

You grab your briefcase, and you come back down in time to look

through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns

and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early, a cheerfully greet the staff.

Notice the difference ?

Two different scenarios. Both started the same.

Both ended different. Why ?

Because of how you reacted. You really have no control over 10%

of what happens in your life.

The other 90% was determined by your reaction.

Now you know the 90/10 Principle.

Apply it and you will be amazed at the results.

You will lose nothing if you try it.

The 90/10 Principle is incredible.

Very few know and apply this principle.

The Result? You will see it by yourself.

Millions of people are suffering from undeserved

stress, trials, problems and headaches.

We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.

It can change your life ! Enjoy it ....

It only takes willpower to give ourselves

permission to make the experience.

Absolutely everything we do, give, say or even think,

it's like a boomerang. It will come back to us...

If we want to receive, we need to learn to give first...

Maybe we will end with our hands empty,

but our heart will be filled with love....

And those who love life, have that feeling marked in their hearts ...
