Quinoa is a power food #vegetable seed related to spinach, Swiss chard & beets, and not a grain as most people think! Here are its #health benefits
1. High quality protein: rich in 9 amino acids, thus its protein balance is similar to #milk.
2. Great source of Riboflavin: helps reduce migraine attacks, by improving energy metabolism within the brain & #muscle cells.
3. The Inca warriors had more stamina & better recovery time because their diets were rich in #Quinoa.
4. The saponins from quinoa help promote healing of skin.
5. Not fattening: Only 172 calories per 1/4 cup dry (24 of the calories
from protein, only 12 from sugar, the rest are complex carbs, fiber and
healthy fat).
6. Gluten-free.
7. Smart Carb: it is a simple complex #carbohydrate with a low glycemic index, so it won't increase your blood #sugar!
LDL stands for low-density lipoprotein. It's also sometimes called "bad"
cholesterol. Lipoproteins are made of fat and protein. They carry
cholesterol, triglycerides, and other fats, called lipids, in the blood
to various parts of the body.
HDL stands for high-density lipoprotein. It's also sometimes called
"good" cholesterol. Lipoproteins are made of fat and protein. They carry
cholesterol, triglycerides, and other fats, called lipids, in the blood
from other parts of your body to your liver.
If you eat unhealthy foods (trans fats, junk food, high in sodium etc)
you increase LDL, blood pressure and systemic inflammation, if you do no
exercise you decrease HDL levels. High LDL low HDL increase risk of
heart disease because LDL gets oxidized and builds up under your blood
vessel wall - curtain (the endothelium). This causes plaques that can
break and cause clotting (thrombosis) leading to claudication, stroke or
heart attacks.
When you eat an egg (including yolk) you eat a hefty amount of cholesterol, therefore increasing LDL in blood. But your body needs that, cholesterol - after all - stabilizes cell membranes and is used to
produce many important hormones such as testosterone and estradiol.
So how many eggs are too many? Limit it to 1 - 2 yolks a day as your
daily allowance of cholesterol. Eggs have a lot of cholesterol, you can
eat more egg whites however.
So remember, HDL/LDL is produced inside the body, we just consume cholesterol which is then transported by these molecules.
Exercise is what you want.
Working out & Cardio - both will increase the speed of your
metabolism. Working out especially, can boost your metabolism for 24
hours + because of how much energy it takes your body to rebuild your
muscles after they've been broken down & all the nutrients it has to
send towards that process.
That's the best way.
Other than that, try getting more protein in your diet. Your body has to
burn calories to digest calories...even digesting food takes energy.
Your body has a harder time digesting protein than it does carbs or
fat...because of this it burns more calories
when a higher % of your diet is made up of protein. Proteins also good
for keeping you full, in general its very handy on a diet!
Try getting more active also. A person who stands up all day is going to
be burning quite a few calories than someone who sits down for most of
it. A lot of people with high metabolisms do these kind of things
naturally.....mess around with things in their hands even while sitting
down. Anything that causes activity will burn calories, even the small
things. It all adds up in the end !
Estrogen
First of all there are all kinds of hormones in the body. Hormones are "chemical messengers" meaning the presence
of certain hormones tells parts of your body what to do. Estrogen is in
both males and females. in males it helps sperm cells to mature. in
females it tells your secondary sex characteristics to develop (breast,
start period), effects your metabolism, mood, bone, and more. When you
ovulate (release an egg) estrogen levels increase .
Lemon water is truly beneficial in any beauty care regimen.
Lemon and water both have clarifying actions in your body. Both lemon
and water help flush out toxins in your system. Although lemons are
acidic, they are alkalizing in your body.
•Lemon water helps clean the toxins out of your body. Your skin can't
look healthy if your body is holding onto toxins! When you get rid of
toxic waste in your system, your skin will show it first! Your skin will
be the first thing you notice cause it looks clear and not sallow and
full of acne. However, that's not all the benefits that lemons provide
for us! (Another healthy way to get rid of toxins that hold onto your
fat and cause visceral fat, is by doing a health cleanse!)
Running is the best all around cardio workout

You can't spot weight loss.Its nearly impossible to lose weight without losing any off your
breasts. In the majority of women, their breasts are not just breast
tissues but also fatty tissues. When you lose weight, naturally the
weight will be taken from your breasts as well. However, as your cup
size is quite large, when you do lose weight, you wont have to worry
about them getting too small as to be that cup size, it will mainly be
breast tissue.
Sometimes, when you hit puberty, your body wants to cling onto body fat
so it makes it harder to lose weight. However, the majority of what your
body hold onto during puberty is fluid so u may be losing body fat but
the fluid is still in your body.Another factor to consider is how much u exercise. To lose weight, an hour of exercise is required.
You may not necessarily lose kilos, or pounds, you may lose inches of weight.
It really depends on your body type, every one s body is different.
Good effort, keep it up!!! You are working hard and you deserve to see
results. If you keep at it you will soon.
