Natural Breast Enhancement Exercises & Eating Habits

Many women turn to cosmetic surgery to enhance their breasts or increase their breast size. However, there are natural methods to increase breast size---and even the appearance of bigger breasts. As there are no muscles present in the breasts, only fatty cells and glands, there aren't exercises that can actually make your breasts bigger. But underneath the breasts lie the pectoral muscles, which, if built up, can make your breasts look higher and more firm.

Fenugreek

This herb is used by mothers who are breastfeeding to increase milk supply. It also increases healthy breast tissue, so it can enhance the look of breasts, too. Fenugreek has an age-old reputation as a breast enlarger and contains diosgenin, which is used to make synthetic estrogen and has been shown to promote the growth of breast cells. Fenugreek is available in capsules or tea form.

Talk with your doctor before taking any herbal supplements, especially if you are taking medications of any kind. Herbal supplements have a biological effect and might be harmful if mixed with other medications.



Saw Palmetto

Used for centuries, this herb, among other uses, can increase a woman's breast size. It blocks male hormones and allows female hormones that contribute to breast growth to become more prominent. Saw palmetto is a common ingredient in most breast enlargement pills.

Talk with your doctor before taking any herbal supplements, especially if you are taking medications of any kind. Herbal supplements have a biological effect and might be harmful if mixed with other medications.

Fennel

This is a tasty vegetable that can be eaten, consumed in a tea form or massaged into the breasts. It acts as a dose of estrogen to the body, which can overpower any male hormones and cause your breasts to grow.

Talk with your doctor before taking any herbal supplements, especially if you are taking medications of any kind. Herbal supplements have a biological effect and might be harmful if mixed with other medications.

Pectoral Press

Start with five-pound dumbbells. Lie on your back with your knees slightly bent; you can lie on the floor or use a bench. Extend your arms straight out to each side. Then slowly bring them together in front of your chest. Hold for one second, and slowly lower them again. Repeat this 10 to 12 times for three sets.

Push-ups

Start by lying on your stomach. Cross your feet, and put your hands flat on the floor, just in front of your shoulders. Slowly lift yourself until your arms are extended and you're balanced on your palms. Keeping your back as straight as possible, bend your elbows and lower yourself back down until you're parallel with the floor. Try not to touch your chest on the floor. Do two sets of 10.

Push-ups may be done either with or without your knees touching the floor.

Weight Loss Tips

20 Best diet tips for weight loss

20 Best Diet TipsFollow our “20 Best Diet Tips” to lose weight, improve your nutrition and help stay slim forever.
1. Set multiple goals: Instead of setting an intimidating, unrealistic goal like “I will lose 3 stone by next month,” set small, achievable goals like, “I will lose from 2 to 5 pounds this month by following my plan and exercising.”
2. Re-set your goals: Each time you achive your goal, give yourself a (non-Food!) reward like a spray tan> or piece of jewellery and then set another goal.
3. Step by step: Each week, change one food habit to a healthier one. Do it every week. For example, this week change from 2 sugars in your tea to 1. Next week cut down to 1 and then cut it out completely the following week.
4. Your diet: Dieting doesn’t end when you lose all the weight you want to lose. Your diet is what keeps you slim, and needs to be healthy, so make lifestyle changes rather than short-term ones.
5. Portion control: Mega plates make average-sized portions look smaller. Avoid portion distortion with our brilliant Diet Plate.
6. Great start: Eat a non-sweet or just slightly sweetened cereal every morning for breakfast. Shredded Wheat and Bran Flakes are good choices.
7. New brew: Drink slimming tea instead of coffee for a mid-morning pick-me-up: it may have immunity-boosting properties.
8. Popcorn: Invest in a hot air popcorn popper. It’s just as quick as microwave popcorn, and it makes a fibre-rich, guilt-free snack without trans fat or cholesterol.
9. Abstain: Try to swear off all fried foods for the next couple of months. Bake or grill or use a non-stick pan. You’ll find that you won’t miss fried, forever.
10. Powerful rule: Adopt “on the side, please” as your rule when dining out. This applies to salad dressing, sauces and gravies.
11. Code for calories: “Crispy” and “crunchy” are code words for added sugar and/or fat to packaged products. Buy the original versions.
12. Stop Now: Resign from the clean plate club. Eat as much as you need, and if you’re full, then stop and take the rest for a snack or meal tomorrow.
13. Sweet tea: Avoid sweetened iced teas, even if they’re labelled natural. Most have water and high-fructose corn syrup as the first two ingredients and about 200 calories per serving.
14. Weight loss mantras: Adopt the “Been there, done that” mentality when it comes to food. For example, you had a great meal. You’re full. When offered dessert, you think, “Been there, done that,” and take a pass.
15. Don’t be fooled: Read nutrition labels, and ignore the pretty pictures. Just because there’s a picture of fruit on the package doesn’t mean there is fruit in the package. Some examples of this misleading packaging are fruit drinks and fruit yoghurts.
16. Anatomy is not destiny: Even if your mother, father and siblings are overweight, you can outsmart your genes with a healthy diet and exercise. Light weight training can actually change your body type so you can stay slim more easily.
17. Take a dietary supplement: We all need a motivational weight loss boost from time to time. Keep a pot of carb blockers or fat blockers handy for the occasions when you just can’t resist the urge to eat those foods you know you shouldn’t.
18. Build muscle: Replace fat stores with lean muscle and improve your fat-burning naturally. Start gradually, and work up to at least three days a week of training with resistance bands and light weights. Consult with your doctor if you’ve not worked out before.
19. Portion distortion: Most people underestimate their intake, and take in more calories daily then they think. Break out the food diary and, for one week, measure what you eat and make adjustments if necessary based on your meal plan.
20. Slow it down: Eating too fast usually means eating more than you need. Give your brain time to catch up with your stomach: It takes about 20 minutes to feel the food, so savour your food. When you enjoy it more, you’ll be satisfied with less.www.slimmingsolutions.co.uk

Keeping fit


There are lots of ways to improve your fitness without having to join a gym. Joining a local sports team is a great way to spend your spare time and keep fit. You also get to meet lots of new people.

The benefits of getting fit

By keeping physically active, you're making sure that your joints and body organs are kept in good working order. Exercise can also help maintain your weight at a healthy level and can protect you against catching coughs and colds on a regular basis.
You’ll also feel an increase in your energy level and brain activity. Knowing that you're looking and feeling good can also give your self-confidence a real boost.

How much exercise do you need?

If you're under 18, you should try to do a total of 60 minutes of physical activity every day. You don't have to do it all in one go, but in chunks of at least 10-15 minutes throughout the day. This includes everything from pumping iron in the gym to walking up stairs instead of taking the lift. The key thing is that the activity should increase your heart rate and make you feel warmer.
If you're over 18, aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise at least five days a week.
A good idea is to try out a whole range of physical activities to see which ones you enjoy the most. Once you've decided the sorts of exercise you enjoy, you can plan what type of exercise you're going to do and when.

Before you start

If you've decided to start an exercise routine, it's important to go and see your doctor for an examination. Your doctor will be able to let you know how much exercise you should be doing to begin with.
They'll also let you know if you have any medical conditions like back pain that can limit the type of exercise you do.

Fitness for free

Getting fit isn't all about gyms. Some forms of exercise won't cost you a penny and most types can easily be slotted into a busy lifestyle.
Think about:
  • cycling or walking to school, college or work instead of driving or taking the bus
  • running around the block a few times a week can improve your fitness level and you’ll soon find yourself running quicker and further
  • checking out the leisure facilities provided by your local authority; many have basketball hoops, tennis courts and football pitches that you can use free of charge

Team sports

Getting fit isn't just something you have to do by yourself. Playing team sports like football, hockey or netball is great exercise, but is often more enjoyable because you're with a group of friends.
Your school, college or university may run sessions in the evening, or you might want to get involved with a local team. You can find details of local clubs on the internet, in the phone book or at your nearest leisure centre. Your local authority can also give you information of sporting activities in your area.
If you think that your neighbourhood needs some better sports facilities, why not apply for some money from the Youth Funds? www.direct.gov.uk

    Ways to Improve Your Health – 3 Easy to Follow Tips

     

    We all know how important good health is. Nevertheless in today’s fast-pace, need-to-take-care-of-everything world we find it hard to stick to good healthy habits. Healthy habits do take a certain amount of time commitment, especially if we are talking about food preparation and working out. That is no excuse for losing track of our health. Here are some great easy to follow steps in making sure you stay on track:
    Eat
    Eating a healthy diet is the best way to stay healthy. Ok, not the most revolutionary tip, I know, but here are some great ways to improve your diet: substitute your cookie snack with an apple or a piece of watermelon. You will get the same sweet taste, minus the fat and calories. Another great way is to ditch all the sugary drinks sodas and juices included. Add a dash of lemon to your water for a calorie free tasty drink. This switch has been proven to help you lose up to 10 pounds in a year. Where do I sign up?
    Sleep
    We all live busy lives, but cutting back on sleep is not the key to making things happen. Being tired all the time actually reduces productivity, so while you think you are handling everything, your body is screaming inside. Moreover a recent study published in the The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has shown that sleep restriction increases our brain’s sensitivity to food stimuli (smell, visuals, etc) which indicates that we are biologically more inclined to overeat if we restrict sleep. So the best way to curb the bad cravings is to prioritize your to-do list so that you sleep at least 7 hours a night. I know, sounds surreal, but you can do it! And you will feel better and be healthier because of it.
    Laugh
    Laughter is the best medicine. Well, it turns out that it’s a terrific tool for getting healthy as well. A research study from the Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has shown that laughter has psychological and physiological benefits. It has been shown that laughter “exercises and relaxes muscles, improves respiration, stimulates circulation and decreases stress hormones,” which means we feel physically more relaxed and our heart gets a little workout just by having a good healthy laugh. Not enough to be able to skip the treadmill, but a good way to stay healthy. Moreover, laughter “reduces stress, anxiety, and tension and counteracts symptoms of depression” on the psychological level, which helps us stay balanced and simply feel good throughout the day.www.healthycarrot.com
