There is no hope for a project that begins with the expressed idea:

“I WANT to LOSE…10 pounds”,

“I NEED to LOSE…20 pounds”, or

“My GOAL is to LOSE…100 pounds”

Even though they are all noble and achievable goals, what the mind hears is “I’m gonna LOSE”; and 99 times out of a hundred that is exactly what happens.

You LOSE; your wasteline GAINS…following your instructions exactly.

Most of us yo-yo dieters are already on our 5th, 10th or 55th attempt to achieve that ideal weight.

But no matter the activity or your skill level, if you keep repeating mentally and verbally that you want to LOSE…YOU WILL!

It doesn’t matter if the activity is golf, grade point average, or baking a cake. A desire to LOSE soon becomes a reality.

Dieting is a mental activity as much as a physical one.

In fact, all human activity involves the mind first, whether it is to achieve that ideal weight or to put a person on the moon.

First the idea is born…then the mind and body go to work to make the idea a reality. Over the last half century we have seen innumerable “impossibilities” come into existence and become parts of our daily lives:

How about the cell phone you are currently using; or

Fed Ex—overnight delivery anywhere in the world; or

Microwave cooking?

The list goes on and on.

They all began as an idea; and you can be sure that none of the minds behind these seeming “miracles” ever pursued their dreams with an “I want to LOSE” attitude.

The set backs became stepping stones, learning experiences, and eventual progress toward the goal.

It’s been the WINNERS not the LOSERS who have made the biggest difference in the world; and in their own personal lives.

Back to the original premise of this article: When you begin your new diet program to LOSE, you already have.

You probably can find, somewhere in your house, a chart that lists your current weight in the UPPER left hand corner, with your goal weight listed in the BOTTOM right hand corner.

That chart literally screams out at you, “If you LOSE enough, you will get DOWN to your goal”. LOSE…DOWN…LOSE…DOWN–hardly an inspiring rally cry.

It’s not completely our fault. There are over twenty-nine million diet and diet related pages on the Internet. Most of those pages probably revolve around this “LOSE…DOWN” idea.

Everything from the lowly cabbage soup diet to the star-studded commercials for Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, or NutriSystem; all tout LOSING as a desirable goal.

Forget LOSING. We we HATE LOSING (another one that is almost definitely destined to fail), why not simply IMPROVE your current eating habits?

Instead of SACRIFICING your favorite foods, how about listing all the foods you ENJOY, and then picking from that long list the foods most likely to help you REACH your WEIGHT GOAL?

And finally, are you more likely to continue an activity that is pleasant, positive, and produces almost instant results; or would you prefer an endless horizon of tofu and cabbage soup?

But where to find such a list of healthy foods that you truly enjoy? And how to build a diet around them?

Here’s a couple of links that have helped us along the way. See for yourself at: Lose Weight At Home and Lose Weight Yourself

Strip That Fat Enables You to Become an Olympic Dieter—Instantly

The most recent Olympic games are now over for another four years; but no matter where you live on this planet, the odds are pretty good that you have managed to watch at least a part of the performance.

If you are an American, or an aspiring athlete of any nationality, you can only draw inspiration from Mark Phelps.

Using Phelps as an example, ask yourself: Did you see any doubt to dive in and set yet another record? Do you think that there was any question in his mind as to his ultimate success?

The answer to both of those rhetoricals is a resounding NO–maybe even HELL NO!

And why not?

Could be the endless hours of training.

Could be any one or more of a lot of things; but, it could also be the seemingly endless number of defeats along the way. Mark Phelps first had to overcome the inborn fear of the water; then he had to learn to swim–to coordinate all the muscles in his body to propel himself forward.

Then came the endless “failures”. No matter what he did, there was always someone who could swim faster, farther than he could…and they made it look so easy.

And now, many years, many “failures” later, he is not only an Olympic success, his success is unparalleled in Olympic history.

Taking heed of Phelp’s success, become an Olympic Dieter; especially, and only, if you have “failed” often enough.

The opportunities for dieting failure are all around. Do a “google” for “diets” and you will find twenty-nine million, five hundred thousand (that’s 29,500,000) pages. Even if you have already tried half of them (at least it FEELS that way), you are still faced with the opportunity to fail another 15 million times. And that’s good; but a bit extreme.

To become a true “Olympic Dieter”, ten or fifteen failures will be enough to put you in the “semi-finals” at least. Of course, the longer you have been trying and the more times you have failed, the more qualified you’ve become.

You can’t have missed Slim Fast, Nutrisystem, and Jenny Craig. They do the most advertising; and that usually means they are the most successful and make the most money.

True “Olympic Dieters” however, measure success in weight, not dollars. You decide.

So go ahead. If one of those remaining 15,000,000 pages strikes your fancy, give it a shot. Just remember to call it another “training exercise”. For the purposes of this article…failures are good. Required, in fact.

My most recent “training exercise” involved $60 per month cups of “secret Oriental tea”( I don’t know if it was green, black or white–only that it was “not available in stores”).

The accompanying instructions advised that I should EAT LESS, EXERCISE MORE, AND DRINK TWO CUPS OF THE MAGIC TEA every day.

At this point in an “Olympic Dieter’s” training, the question arises: “And what happens if I eat less… exercise more…and DON’Tuse the MAGIC potion?”

See how easy it is to get to the semi-finals? But, numerous failures were required to learn this most important lesson.

The Holy Grail for “Olympic Dieters” will be that one page among the twenty-nine and a half million “possibles” that enables us to get to the platform and receive our gold medal by eating…more or less, and exercising…more or less.

As recent converts to the “Olympic Dieting” concept, Gayle and I will be using the information contained in the Strip That Fat package—health dieting with a healthy diet built around healthy (yet very appealing) foods.Lose Weight Diet Plan

The plans include admission to the “Olympic Dieter’s” gold medal club (80 pounds or more); and to do so within the next six months… ending July 1st, 2009.

To bolster our commitment we have posted some pretty scary pictures. See for yourself. Lose Weight Healthily

Lets talk about the law of attraction movie : Make no mistake about it - it is our subconscious minds that is the thing that is the control tower of our lives and as we learn to really get to grips with our subconscious minds we can readily invoke the law of attraction into our lives; this will bring about all of the things that we cherish in our lives based upon the various areas of life normally divided as physical, spiritual, financial, health, relationships. Many people get confused when referring to the law of attraction and the use of the subconscious mind especially when they are looking to make things happen in their lives. So what can one do when they want to start to use personal development in order to start to move ahead ?

Make no mistake about it - when we consider best success tips : understanding how to use the law of attraction is something that can really change your life. The reason is that the things that we do as a habit force is actually based on what we do with our subconscious minds. We will see the results in our life in areas of self confidence as well as other ways. So what can we do ? we should commence with goal setting and specifically map out the things that we want to come about in our lives. When we do this then we will literally being to reprogram our inner minds and then we will being to do those things as a matter of habit that will take us closer to our goals.

Of course we will need to develop a certain amount of self confidence and self determination as, along with the programming of our minds, we really will need to be acting and walking as well as talking the way that we need to in order to become the type of person that we need to in order to achieve our dreams. Note that it is vitally significant to make sure that we change into the person that we need to be before, we accomplish the actual results in our lives.

public speaking and self confidence matters as well : When it comes down to it, we will all be happy when we see that we have improved levels of self worth as well as higher levels of personal and self determination which we can readily use as a platform to move forward in our lives. It is well worth us taking time out to work on our being as we will see the results in our lives come around in many different ways - sometimes in ways that we didn’t think possible.

The dictionary definition of a diet is simply “the sum of food consumed by a person or other organism.”

No pain stated or implied.

Every organism alive is on a DIET…has been since it’s life began…and will be till it’s life ends.

A human infant thrives on a diet of milk alone–natural or “formulated”. Soon enough that diet expands to include strained thises and thats; and before long the transition to solid food. Somehow these youngsters know when they have had enough and they turn instantly to some other diversion.

Never bored, and living in a relatively stress free world, they simply eat to live rather than “living to eat”.

Living to eat comes later, and is a learned rather than instinctual response to hunger.

Exposure to the all pervasive world of advertising comes along at just about the same time as the transition to solid food. Now instead of being satisfied by the healthful and nutritious offerings from a loving parent, they are tempted and re-tempted by a constant barrage of sugary delights.

Prove it to yourself. Watch an hour or so of what is currently being offered as and see for yourself. A few dozen empty calorie messages later, you will probably find yourself very “hungry”; and it will be a totally misguided hunger that has nothing to do with “eating to live”.

And thus begins the “eating in response to” experience. Some of us eat “in response” to boredom; for many it is stress; for some it comes with frustration. For a lot of us it is simply a response to suggestion–TV, and radio, magazine ads, billboard blasts,–you name it. It often seems that the world is conspiring to cause improper eating.

Just how effective that “conspiracy” can be is borne out by the fact that over half of the world’s population is overweight. Over HALF–and increasing (poor pun intended) every year. And that’s in the face of natural selection–nature’s way of “thinning the herd”. We who are overweight tend to die sooner–the ultimate “double whammy”. We pay a dear price for these extra pounds; and our kids are practically assured of the same fate.

Since you’ve read this far, it’s safe to assume that you’ve already been around the “dieter’s world/hell” long enough to be familiar with the buzz words: NEW MIRACLE DIET, LOSE WEIGHT FAST, THE LAST DIET YOU WILL EVER NEED, GREEN/BLACK/WHITE TEA DIET, etc.

Just when you think you’ve seen and heard it all, put things in a new perspective. Google returned 29,500,000 results for the word “diets”. That’s TWENTY NINE AND A HALF MILLION.

Can they all be effective? Sure. Because the bottom line for all of them…at least the legal ones…is simple: EAT LESS…EXERCISE MORE. Twenty nine and a half million pages condensed into four words. And you thought this was gonna be tough?

Sure, lots of those millions of pages suggest that you: EAT LESS…EXERCISE MORE and “drink this magic tea” or “eat this magic supplement” or “drink gallons of cabbage soup” or some such.

The question that so many of us fail to ask is: “What happens if I just EAT LESS…EXERCISE MORE and also save a gazillion dollars by not buying any of your magic pills, potions and soup recipes?”

We all know the answer; yet we continue searching for the quick and easy diet, routine, and/or supplement.

At the risk of short circuiting over twenty-nine million other suggestions, it’s time to accept the fact that the only “magic” is in us–programmed there since birth. We simply need to get back in touch.

For the continued purposes of this blog and accompanying web site, we’re going to expand the theme a bit:

EAT…MORE OR LESS AND EXERCISE…MORE OR LESS.

With 125 extra pounds between us, Gayle and I have chosen a realistic and achievable goal.

PPS Read about increase immune system.

By Steven de Koenigswarter
The Health Factory

Article Originally Published on www.LivingClean.com

Nature Magazine, a medical journal, is stating basically that psychiatric medications should be prescribed to healthy people.

Sometimes the things that Mike Adams (of www.NaturalNews.com) publishes seem borderline tabloid, as they are so fantastic. However, when I read this article in Nature Magazine, I could see how far the American medical system has decayed, into just another uncaring industry (at the very least). And so I must thank Mike Adams, because it was his review of this article that alerted and provoked me into writing this post.

The gist of it is that psychiatrists are trying to sell, as “mental faculty enhancements” - the same drugs that cause suicides and homicides (as a result of what they call “mental side effects”). As is evident from the article in Nature, they are trying to sell these toxins to healthy people. I imagine they aren’t making enough money off of sick people.

If the authors of this article get their way, the American people would effectively become paying lab rats.

There were so many shocking aspects of the article in Nature Magazine, and it was presented in such a smooth manner that the most outrageous ideas were made to appear quite acceptable. I almost came away from that article thinking to myself, “Yeah, what’s wrong with increasing my mental abilities?” It didn’t last long. A few key words woke me up: “Columbine,” “Kids on Luvox” and “Zoloft” killing other kids.

To put this in perspective, I have been looking at the history of psychiatric drugs and the history of serial killings. There are some very curious parallels. There is a history of related murders that goes back almost as far as there is a history. You will also find the existance of serial killers going almost that far back as well. The shear volume of serial killings exploded in the 1950’s, and has been gaining momentum ever since.

Also beginning in the 1950s was the broad use of psychiatric drugs to “restore mental health”, or to at least “limit aberrant behavior.” This came about because a number new classes of pharmacological agents were discovered, notably tranquilizers (e.g., chlorpromazine, reserpine, etc.) The rapid growth of these drugs in psychiatric use in the 50’s has led to a radical change in the fabrics of our societies. Children, no matter how disturbed, don’t go on killing sprees unless their mental state is further unbalanced by psychotropic drugs.

The levels of funding for psychiatry, and psychiatric drugs in use, will be parallel lines to the numbers of serial killings, on any historical graph.

Let me make my point more clearly.

If you look back just before modern times, you will find that the insanity in society was somewhat “limited to the village idiot.” The term “serial killer” did not exist.

I found a very interesting site/index. It lists out crimes committed, and what drug the perpetrator was on. Here is just a small sample:

1. School shooting Illinois, February 2008: 6 dead, 15 wounded. The killer was in withdrawal from Prozac.
2. School shooting Minnesota, March 2005: 10 dead, 7 wounded. The killer was on Prozac, of which the dosage was increased one week before the rampage.
3. School shooting Pennsylvania, March 2001: 14 year old girl on Paxil (Seroxat) shoots and wounds classmate.
4. School shooting in South Carolina, October 1995: 15 year old teenager on Zoloft shoots two teachers, killing one. Then kills himself.

Check http://ssristories.com/index.php for some very depressing reading.

There are numerous precedents where “insanity due to the use of psychiatric drugs” plea has been used successfully in the courts - which means that the courts, in fact, recognize that these drugs cause psychotic, homicidal and suicidal behavior.

Unfortunately the people of Nature Magazine ignored all this, and promote “the responsible use of cognitive-enhancing drugs by the healthy” (http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/456702a.html). Maybe that’s because they are selling the stuff (two of the authors are on Pharma’s payroll).

Feel free to write to authors of that article and tell them what you think. The very last thing this society needs are more school killers created by psychosis-inducing drugs.

And that’s not a positive step.

Think about it. Olympic mega star, Mark Phelps, will be remembered forever. The people who finished second, the “losers”, have already been forgotten.

No matter what time of year of year, some sports playoffs are beginning somewhere. The “winners” get to stay and play. “Losers” get to go home and re-live their mistakes.

When Winter approaches here in South Carolina, the competition for the few remaining seeds and berries in our feeders gets serious. The “winners” spend their days, and nights, with full bellies. The “losers” make do with whatever scraps fall to the ground. (Always a less than satisfying diet)

Losing is NOTalways a good thing. Mind and body very actively resist loss…in any form.

DIETING “losers”, faced with a smorgasbord buffet, will see all the things that they aren’t allowed; then pull out their calorie counting books and calculators to determine what, if anything, is “allowed” by their usually less than two week old “new, MIRACLE DIET’s” restrictions. They walk away feeling miserably deprived and hungry.

Two weeks of feeling deprived is about all the mind and body will allow. Enter: The binge stage. Miracle DIET is out the window. Within a few days, any weight “lost” will be regained–probably with a couple extra “insurance pounds”. That’s why they are called “YO-YO DIETS”.

Winning dieters approach the same bountiful table and, if they are at all hungry, know that the diet they have been on since birth “allows”–actually encourages, “a little of this…and a little of that”. Hunger satisfied, they move on to some other pleasantness, feeling fully satisfied.

The intermittent CAPITALIZATION in this writing is intentional.

DIET refers to some artificially imposed “system for weight loss”. The various DIETS are for “losers”.

A diet, used in it’s original meaning, is simply “the sum total of what we eat”. By making a few, pleasant adjustments to a diet and lifestyle, it’s actually nat hard at all to achieve (TO WIN) whatever weight goal is set–even if that goal is to gain weight.

Gaining weight is simply not a problem for most of the world’s population–over half of whom are currently overweight. So you see, we are not alone. Most of the people in the world could benefit from making those few, pleasant adjustments to their current diet and lifestyle.

Why and how do I keep emphasizing “few” and “pleasant” “adjustments”?

Easy. Gayle and I have been making those adjustments for nearly a month now; and they keep getting better. You see, we are among the half of the world’s population who will never be striving to GAIN weight.

Our web site is all the evidence we need. We recently posted pictures and statistics; and will continue to do so the first of each month. Talk about a painful experience!

Gayle is only overweight; but I’ve been in the “morbidly obese” category for a number of years. Between the two of us, there’s an extra 125 pounds.

And that’s AFTER an endless series of attempts to slim down. You name a DIET, and we have tried it: Everything from Nutrisystem to cabbage soup, Weight Watchers to Atkins, low fat and no fat, low carbs and high fiber, etc.to etc.

Turning the DIET world upside DOWN is turning our world right side UP.

No more LOSING for us. We already feel like WINNERS: and we are, ever so gradually, reaching the goals we have set.

Updates to follow. First of each month. More often when justified.

At first reading, Strip That Fat seemed like a pretty silly name. Now, two months into the program we realize that it is totally appropriate for a process that does exactly that.

Working together, and we can’t recommend the “buddy system” highly enough, Gayle and I have done away with nearly 20 pounds of unwanted fat.

Gayle started out merely overweight. I, on the other hand, fit into the “morbidly obese” category. Between the two of us we had, at the beginning, a total of 125 pounds to “strip”.

We knew from our past experiences(many, many, experiences) that we never lasted long enough on any of the highly restrictive (low carb, no carb, low fat, no fat, cabbage soup only, etc) diets to achieve any significant or lasting results.

Determined to someday achieve our rather ambitious weight goals, we kept looking and looking for the “magic diet plan”.

We tried the teas, the pills, the Atkins, the South, North, East and West-sides, even the colon assaulting powders–all to no avail. If you can imagine a 422 pound yo-yo…that’s been us for years. Somehow we always missed, or chose to ignore, the fine print on the sales page of every new diet plan. You know what we’re talking about: the line that reads “These teas, pills, and/or potions are effective when used with a program of eating less and exercising more.”

Regardless of any carb, fat, fruit, or cabbage soup intake, EATING LESS…AND EXERCISING MORE will have a desired effect on a weight problem. Of course, we knew that; and so do you.

So why keep searching for the easy and instant? In our case at least, it was a combination of laziness, impatience and frustration. You can fill in your own motivations; but the bottom line is that after all those unsuccessful attempts, each January first when we set out anew to make this our year to achieve a healthy weight, we found that we were heavier than the previous January… when we had made the exact same vow. Sound familiar?

So, we’re excited. For the first time in years, our January resolution (yep, same one) will be starting at a much IMPROVED level. And we are getting there by EATING MORE (often) and EXERCISING (within our comfort level). We are two months “in” instead of the usual “two weeks and out”. And the results are beginning to show.

Just last week our “ever-style-conscious” teen age grand daughter commented: “Gee Poppy and GG, your new diet seems to be working! How much have you lost?”

Just try explaining to an ultra thin teen-ager that we’re not “on a diet”–just a simple and pleasant “lifestyle change”; that we’re not “working” as much as “learning”; and that we haven’t “lost” a thing. Bottom line is that we have “gained” so very much.

Shin Splints involves an uncomfortable pain in the shin bone area or tibia caused by injury to the posterior peroneal tendon. The resulting soreness occurs in the front or inside section of the tibia. In many cases, shin pain in runners is caused by intense physical activity like jumping, running or playing active sports; shin pain in runners can require an extended period of time to improve.

Symptoms of Shin Splints

The symptoms for shin splints include inflammation and/or soreness around the shin area, particularly after running or walking for long distances. The pain typically presents itself at the beginning of the workout, then lessens slightly, and reappears when settling into rest. It is common for shin splints in athletes to occur in people who have just started to get involved in running, walking, or sports activities.

Shin Splints: Causes

The most common cause of shin pain in runners is undue stretching of the muscles and tendons adjacent to the shin bones, which are the tibia and the fibula. Excessive use of these muscles by athletes and runners is the most common trigger for this condition. Other causes for shin pain in runners can also be due to overuse of the anterior tibialis muscle in the front of the leg, along the outside front of the shin bones.

Over pronation of the feet is often a significant contributor to shin pain in runners. Over pronation causes internal rotation of the tibia and amplifies the tractional forces upon the muscles and ligaments in the lower leg.

Treating Shin Splints In Runners

In the immediate term, rest is required to help lessen shin pain in runners. Running and other strenuous activities should be minimized until the condition is under control. Shin splints can frequently be prevented by performing stretching exercises before strong physical activity. It is important for athletes and runners to slowly increment their level of activity, and always go through a proper warm-up before sudden or intense exercise. A change in running style to eliminate overstriding and avoiding heavy heel strike can also reduce shin pain in the long term.

Using suitable footwear is also an effective way to prevent and reduce the pain associated with shin splints, particularly for athletes who use a heavy heel strike. It is important that running shoes with proper rear foot stability be used whenever possible. Additionally, running orthotics are useful by helping to correct over pronation and cushioning the heels, thus reducing the impact while providing heel stability.

Runners and other athletes need to continuously maintain proper preventive foot care in order to perform properly at all times.

quick weight loss : There are many people who are out there and asking the question ‘Are there any easy ways to lose weight?’ when people are asked, it seems that everyone knows that dieting, and cutting down on food intake, increasing the amount of exercise that we do and thereby increasing the calories that we burn; all these things work to combine into a formula to help us to actually quick weight loss. For many; the hard part is sticking to a low calorie, and often bland, diet. Just like anything else that is new - it is certainly not easy, but with work to estabish the new behaviours it is possible to do. Here are some pieces of advice that we can use to help us to keep on track with our weight loss and dieting endeavours as we look at some of the many
diabetic diet in connection with weight loss tips.

1) Keep a daily log of everything that you eat. When wer write down everything that we eat, this helps us to eat even less. When we look at the studies we see that people who keep track of what they eat end up eating up to fifteen percent less. We see that this is a very significant point that people should take note of.

2) The average American consumes an additional 245 calories per day just from drinks. You may be advized to switch from juice, soda, and other calorie drinks to water. 245 calories a day is nearly 90,000 calories a year. That’s 25 pounds. Are soda and juice really that good? Another fact is that despite their calories, drinks like soda and juice don’t trigger a feeling of fullness the way foods do.

3) Eat five or six smaller meals a day instead of three large meals a day. Studies show that eating in smaller portions more often results in eating 30% fewer calories. Furthermore, even the same number of calories eaten in smaller portions during more frequent meals can result in weight loss. You’re less likely to binge because the body releases less insulin.

4) Get rid of the clothes that we consider to be fat. If you don’t have clothing that’s comfortable when you’re heavier, you’re more likely to be reminded to keep the weight off every time you dress. And you’re less likely to gain weight if doing so means having to buy a whole new wardrobe.

5) Use smaller plates. It’s been proven that people eat more when more food is in front of them, and they eat less when less food is in front of them. Smaller plates mean smaller portions, so put the salad plates into use as the main plate.

6) Similar to the idea of using smaller plates, serve your food on the plate rather than in bowls on the table. When the plate is empty the meal is over, instead of spooning another portion onto your plate.

7) Avoid white foods such as white bread, sugar, and white rice. Those are the foods with loads of carbohydrates which lead to higher blood sugar and weight gain. Stick to whole grain breads and dark rice. Don’t worry about the sugar, pretty soon you won’t miss it.

natural weight loss : There are a lot of other juice recipes for weight lossand tips for easy ways to lose weight. Try not to be intimidated if it’s only easier instead of really easy. If weight loss were easy, everyone would be a supermodel.

The health industry is saturated with several health myths that have been heard for many decades. With a number of researches and studies on health of a human being, the truth behind these myths are now exposed. Next time when someone tells you any of these myths, scream that you know the truth behind these myths. The health information blog has several unknown health truths that are essential for a healthy living.

You must drink eight glasses of water everyday – It is true that you have to drink enough amount of water, but the eight glasses measurement is a sure myth. Every man has a different body structure and there is no single rule that fits for all. The juices, coffee, tea and other liquid that you consume add to fluid content in your body. You should not drink water just to add to the number of glasses of water that you take. You can drink water when you are thirsty, but don’t count on the glasses. At the same time, take care that you don’t stay for a long time without taking any fluid.

Low carb diets are healthy – A number of people believe that eating low carb diets are healthy and it should be followed. However not many people know about the truth behind these diets. Carbohydrates and proteins are vital for the body. Just by reducing the intake of carbohydrates, you cannot remain healthy. You should take carbohydrates and proteins according to the amount that is required for your body. Never fall into the pit of these unhealthy low carb diets. If you want to lose weight and get rid of fat, take a look at health product review to achieve your goal in a natural way.

Coffee should be completely avoided – This is the most common myth that even the doctors say. Coffee has antioxidants that are crucial to zap the free radicals. When you take two to three cups of coffee everyday, you are actually doing something good to your body. Controlled amounts of coffee intake are good, but you should not drink coffee in huge amounts and become addicted to caffeine.

You should not eat normally when you have fever – There are no scientific proofs that validate this myth. Irrespective of the measures you take, the fever causing virus stays for 7 to 10 days in the body. Hence you have to have medicines to fight against the infection and the diet that you take has nothing to do with it. You need to keep your body hydrated and drink ample amounts of fluids. You have to know the vital health and nutrition tips that help you stay active and healthy even if you are sick.
