Tips & Advice...

Hi friends,



This is a tip for those who want to control or lessen their weight. Check it out and tell me about the results. This is only for people who are fat, others just forward it!!!





WEIGHT LOSS DIET

The program was developed in conjunction with the grant from U.S. Department of agriculture and their Food & Drug Administration. It was field tested at the John Hopkins Research Center and was approved by the Board of Directors of General Motor Corporation at a general meeting on August 15, 1995.

It is management's intention to facilitate a welfare and fitness program for everyone. This program is designed for a target weight loss of 5 to 6 Kgs per week.

It will also improve your attitude and emotions because of its systematic cleansing effects.

The effectiveness of this seven day plan is that the foods eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in calorific value.

This plan can be used as often as you like without any fear of complications. It is designed to flush your system of impurities and give you feeling of well being. After seven days you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 pounds. You will have an abundance of Energy and an improved digestion.



DURING THESE SEVEN DAYS YOU MUST DRINK 10 GLASSES OF WATER EACH DAY.

Day One:

All fruits except bananas: Your first day will consist of all fruits you want. It is suggested you consume lots of melons the first day, especially water melons.

Day Two:

All vegetables: You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw and cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit of the amount or type. Avoid Oil and coconut while cooking vegetables. Have a large boiled potato for breakfast.

Day Three:

Any mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice: Any amount, any quantity. No bananas and no potatoes today.

Day Four:

Bananas and Milk: today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. You can also have one bowl of vegetable soup.

Day Five:

Today is a feast day: You will eat 1 cup of rice. You also have to eat six whole tomatoes. Drink 13 glasses of water today to cleanse your system of the excess uric acid you will be producing.

Day Six:

Today is another all Vegetables day. You may eat 1 cup of rice today. Eat all vegetables you want cooked and uncooked to your hearts content.

Day Seven:

Today your food intake will consist of 1 cup of rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume.



Tomorrow Morning you will be five to eight Kgs lighter than 1 week ago. If you desire further weight loss, repeat the program again. Repeat this program as often as you like. However it is suggested that you rest for three days before every repetition.

You have your system under control now and it will thank you for all the purging and cleansing you just gave it. Even more that a diet programs it is good to follow this diet once in a while to clean your digestive system and remove toxic substances that have accumulated in the system.



ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

The most important element of the program is 10 tall glasses of water a day. You can also flavour the water with some lemon to make the drinking easier.

While on program take only black coffee.

Never more that 1 teaspoon of oil. Preferably do not use oil because of high calorific content. No fruit juices before day seven.

Here is what happens to your body while you are on this program and how and why it works.

Day One: you are preparing your system for upcoming program. Your only source of nutrition is fresh fruits. Fruits are nature's perfect food. They provide everything you can possibly want to sustain life except total balance and variety.

Day two: Starts with mix of complex carbohydrates in the form of boiled potato. This is taken in the morning to provide energy and balance. The rest of day two consists of vegetables, which are virtually calorie free and provide essential nutrients and fibers.

Day three eliminates the potato because you get your carbohydrates from fruits. Your system is now prepared to start burning excess pounds.

Day four bananas and milk sound the least desirable. Today is the day you can have coffee with milk. You are in for a surprise. You probably will not be able to eat all the bananas allowed. But they are there for the potassium you have lost and sodium you may have missed in last three days. You will experience a definite loss of desire for sweets and you will be surprised how easy this day will go.

Day five rice and tomatoes: The rice is for the carbohydrates and the tomatoes are for the digestion and the fiber. Lots and Lots of water purify your system. You should notice colorless urine today. Do not feel you have to eat 1 cup of rice, you may eat less. But you must eat the six tomatoes.

Day six is similar to five. Vitamins and fiber from vegetables and carbohydrates from the rice. By now your system is in a total weigh loss inclination. There should be noticeable difference in the way you look today compared to day one.

You may celebrate on day seven with Champaign. You may also have white wine instead of Champaign but in all practical programs and in all surveys done to measure success of the program, General Motors employees have always preferred Champaign to white wine.

More than 1 cup of coffee with milk is especially forbidden. No oil either. Milk and oil add empty calories to your diet. Avid coffee lovers can console themselves with black coffee.

However after the first week, it will help your digestion and settle your stomach. The key thing to remember is that you are not hungry at any time when dieting. The secret of this program is that you should never be hungry. If it is a vegetable day, eat as much vegetables that you are never hungry. If it is a fruits day, eat so much fruits that you are never hungry. You may be bored of eating vegetables all day, you should not be hungry. You can take any amount of General Motors wonder soup on any day.

WONDER SOUP

The following soup is intended as supplement to your diet. It can be eaten anytime of day in virtually unlimited quantities. You are encouraged to drink large quantities of this soup:

Water

Large Onions

Green Peppers

Whole tomatoes

Cabbage

Bunch celery

Program is highly recommended for women and men above 40 for whom excess weight is especially dangerous. Excess weight for women arthritis problems and lead to rapid joint decay. Pain and deterioration can be lessened by weight loss as weight loss removes the stress on knee joints. Weight is the most critical factor in keeping good health and excess weight is responsible for the problems including coronary deceases, heart problem, arthritis and cancel among other serious life long diseases. Most serious health problems can be avoided by the single function of maintaining ideal weight. Daily mild exercise of 20 minuets is also essential. Do not tire yourself out being doing your exercise and maintaining an ideal weight goes a long way in ensuring a happy healthy and long life.

Bathroom odors
Place a shallow dish of baking soda behind the toilet to absorb bathroom odours. You will achieve the same results using a shallow bowl of vinegar. Note that these tips do not mask the smells they actually absorb them.

More ideas for the restroom are...

Thread potpourri and hang it on the wall. You can use this to border pictures or the mirror. It's decorative and makes the restroom smell nice.

One of the most effective ways to mask unpleasant bathroom odor is also one of the easiest. Simply light a match or two, and you’ll camouflage any smells. Keep a few matchbooks in your bathroom for emergencies.



Ashtrays. Tip for dealing with ashtray odors
You can get rid of foul ashtray odours by covering the base of the ashtray with carpet freshener.



Cars. Deodorizing Cars
Why does your car still smell after you left the windows down all day? Because the odors have settled into the upholstery and carpet, so each time you step in and sit down, they are released into the air all over again.

Eliminate these odors by sprinkling Baking Soda (bicarbonate of soda) directly on fabric car seats and carpets. Wait 15 minutes (or longer for strong odors) and vacuum up the odors with the Baking Soda.

Another way to keep on top of the smells inside your car is by placing a sheet of Bounce behind the driver and passenger seat. Usually lasts 2 weeks. TipKing Says: Bounce is the product name of a fabric conditioner sheet that you throw into your tumble dryer.

Filling a saucer or small bowl with vinegar and placing it on the floor of your car overnight will remove odours from your vehicle. The vinegar actually absorbs the smell. It has also been said that ammonia will do the same, especially nice if you can obtain a scented brand. Make sure that you keep young children away from the bowl or saucer.

Yet another great idea is to spice up the smell of your car, just use a cotton ball wet with pure vanilla. The pure vanilla does have a high alcohol content and you need to keep it away from pets or kids but, setting it under the seats or on the back window could help. Great vanilla smell while eliminating odors.



Clothing. Remove odour on clothing
When you wash an item that has an odor that you would rather not live with. Put half a cup of vinegar in the wash. It should remove the smell.




Smells Unwanted Lavatorial Odours


Striking a few matches and wafting them around so that they burn slowly and almost go out, thus creating smoke and acrid niffs, gets rid of any other aromas which may have theretofore predominated....
Lighting a candle in the lav or bathroom for a few minutes will also take smells out of the bathroom even if you are using an unscented candle.
A small cup or bowl containing vinegar also works. It can be kept "hidden" near the U bend.
Tobacco smoke. Remove tobacco smoke odor and Nicotine stains
I have had quite a few questions asked about dealing with the residue from smoking. Lets start with the smell

Cigarette smoke odour

To diminish the smoke smell from cigarettes burn a few decorative candles. It should lift the smoke.

Another idea is to place a few saucers of vinegar in strategic places around the room.

Also charcoal will absorb stale smoke odours. As with the vinegar place the charcoal in saucers around the room.

If your furnishings are suffering from smoke odor then sprinkle baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) over armchair/sofa/mattress/carpet. Leave for a few hours and then vacuum off. The baking soda will absorb the smell. The baking soda should not mark your furniture but you can always test in an inconspicuous area.

To make cleaning your ashtrays easier try waxing them with a thin coat of floor wax after cleaning before setting out for use again. Some air fresheners also work and also add a fresh scent.



Nicotine stains

Remove them from your fingers with lemon juice, and scrubbing with pumice stone. Then add hand cream.

Nicotine stains on ash trays can be removed by rubbing with heated salt.

Nicotine stains will accumulate. They are a very greasy stain so I have a few ideas.

Vinegar on a cotton cloth should make the nicotine stains come right off

If the stains will not come off with just vinegar recipe for an extra strength household floor and wall cleaner that works well at removing nicotine stains.

1 gallon hot water
1/2 cup of 20 Mule Team Borax
1/2 teaspoon liquid dish detergent (Dawn cuts grease and would work well for the stains)
1 tablespoon ammonia

Use gloves because it will be a dirty job. The nicotine stains will come off as a greasy slimy residue. Rinse your cloth in clean water before dipping back into the cleaner. Rinse the wall well after cleaning

Another thing that works is straight rubbing alcohol on a sponge but because it is a large job I wouldn't recommend it except for stubborn spots.

If you decide to repaint instead of cleaning, first paint with a sealer to stop the stains from bleeding through the new paint. It will seal in the stains so they won't bleed through the new paint job

You can buy commercial products that will work well. One I have heard of is Greased Lightning. I think that it is only available in the US.

Sugar soap is also very good at shifting Nicotine stains.





Smells To get the smell of cigarette smoke out of your home
To get the smell of cigarette smoke out of your home. Try lighting some candles. Works for me.



Stop your home smelling of your dog
Dogs can have quite an odor that as owners we do not always smell. As soon as visitors come to our house they can be hit by the odour of our furry friend.

To help combat this aroma and improve your pets coat have a go at the following. When bathing your dog add a couple of cups of vinegar vinegar solution to the final rinse. This helps to reduce the doggy smell and makes the coat gleam. The same applies to the bedding. A cup of vinegar in the final rinse, then when bedding is dry, sprinkle with Bicarbonate of Soda ( Baking Soda). Vinegar and baking soda actually absorb odours.

Another tip to neutralize smells on your pet by washing them in tomatoe juice, this can be expensive for the large dog, but well worth the price compared to the smell!





Smells Removing odors from a room


Here's a tip for removing odors from a room: soak cotton balls in pure vanilla extract. Place the cotton balls in saucers and put them in each corner of the room.. Works great!





Vomit. Remove the smell of vomit from carpets
Let the carpet dry out until morning.

Make a paste of baking soda and warm water, rubbing this paste into the carpet and then sprinkle some additional dry baking soda over the carept and let this sit for a few hours. When the paste is dry, vacuum it up, and scrape as needed to remove all the paste. This removes the smells that you thought would be there forever!

When ever a carpet needs a freshen up, do the same sprinkle baking soda over the carpet. Then vacuum up a few minutes later. It stops your vacuum from smelling too!



Vacuum. Remove vacuum cleaner odors
If your vacuum cleaner smells, most of the smell is created by your vacuum cleaner bag. If your vacuum cleaner has an outside bag then remove it and give it a wash in your washer with some lemon juice. Then dry it outside. It will freshen it up a treat.

You can stop your vacuum smelling by sprinkling baking soda over your carpet and vacuuming it up. It will remove odors from your carpet and your hoover.

For a fresh smelling vacuum, put 2 tablespoons of powder laundry detergent (scented) directly in vacuum bag. Lasts for about 10-15 vacuums!

Adding a bag of your favorite potpourri and setting it inisde your vacuum, you are going to give off great smells that you like most when your are running the vacuum.





Upholstery. Freshen and Deodorize Upholstery
Sprinkle Baking Soda on upholstery to eliminate the day-to-day odors that settle in them. Wait 15 minutes, or longer for tough odors, and vacuum up.

After Reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again!



Bananas: Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana.

This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills -- eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect way to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and at work: Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine, "eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

In a society where lung and breast cancers are leading causes of cancer death worldwide, early detection of the disease is highly desirable. A new study has found that dogs might be able to help detect these cancers early.



The study is to appear in the March 2006 issue of the research journal Integrative Cancer Therapies.



The scientists said dogs’ extraordinary scenting ability can distinguish people with both early and late stage lung and breast cancers from healthy people. The research, performed in California, was recently documented by the BBC in the United Kingdom, and is soon to be aired in the United States, researchers said.



Other studies have documented dogs’ abilities to identify chemicals that are diluted as low as parts per trillion. The clinical implications of canine sniffing first came to light in the case report of a dog alerting its owner to skin cancer by constantly sniffing the skin lesion. Subsequent studies published in medical journals reported trained dogs’ ability to detect both melanomas and bladder cancers.



The new study, led by Michael McCulloch of the Pine Street Foundation in San Anselmo, California, and Tadeusz Jezierski of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Institute of Genetics and Animal Breeding, is the first to test whether dogs can detect cancers only by sniffing the exhaled breath of cancer patients, the researchers said.



Five household dogs were trained within a three-week period to detect lung or breast cancer by sniffing the breath of cancer participants.



The trial was comprised of 55 lung cancer and 31 breast cancer patients who had not yet undergone chemotherapy, and 83 healthy patients.



The dogs were presented with breath samples from the human participants, captured in a special tube. Dogs were trained to identify a cancer patient by sitting or lying down directly in front of a test station containing a cancer patient sample, while ignoring samples from healthy people.



The results showed dogs can detect breast and lung cancer with sensitivity and specificity between 88 percent and 97 percent, the researchers reported. The accuracy persisted even after results were adjusted to take into account whether the lung cancer patients were currently smokers.



Moreover, the study also confirmed that the trained dogs could even detect the early stages of both diseases. The researchers concluded that with further work, breath analysis could substantially reduce the uncertainties of cancer diagnosis methods.
