 Ancient Chinese Secret 

To Get A Flat Stomach 

You may think that the only way to reduce belly fat and flatten your stomach is by doing cardio and abdominal exercises. However, there are foods that greatly contribute to the loss of belly fat. The Chinese people have been supplementing their diets with these foods for centuries, creating meals that taste great and have extraordinary health benefits. By taking a few tips from the Chinese, you can be on your way to a leaner, flatter stomach.

Vegetables

Chinese meals are based primarily on vegetables and lean proteins. Vegetables give you vitamins and minerals without the fat, and are especially high in fiber. The body cannot digest fiber; therefore, high-fiber vegetables flush calories out of your system as opposed to absorbing them. Fiber also keeps you satisfied longer, therefore decreasing hunger and how often you need to eat. High-fiber foods include broccoli, spinach and other leafy green vegetables, as well as lima beans, legumes, soybeans, black-eyed peas, lentils and other types of beans. Soy products, such as tofu, which are made of soybeans also will help reduce belly fat.



Grains

One common food found in Chinese cuisine is rice. Whole grains, such as brown rice, are an excellent source of fiber, complex carbohydrates and an assortment of vitamins and minerals. According to a study done by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, adults who ate four to seven servings of whole grains a day lost twice as much belly fat as peers who ate refined grains. This might be because whole grains contain high amounts of fiber, which binds to other foods and speeds the digestion of calories.

Green Tea

For centuries, the Chinese have been using green tea for medicinal purposes as a stimulant, diuretic, astringent, and even to improve heart health. However, clinical studies have also found that green tea can increase metabolism and help you burn fat, especially in the stomach area. Green tea is high in polyphenols, a chemical that is credited with having high antioxidant properties. Green tea can be drunk hot or cold, or it can be taken as a vitamin supplement in capsule form. If you don't like tea and hate swallowing vitamins, open the capsule and sprinkle it onto your food. You won't have to taste it, yet you'll still get the stomach-flattening results.

Fish

Fish is extremely high in omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fats, also known as good fats. Types of fish that are especially rich in good fats are salmon, mackerel, tuna, trout, herring and sardines. Not only do these types of fat promote heart health, they also increase metabolism, which helps to burn belly fat. Omega-3 reduces the level of insulin in the body. Higher amounts of insulin promote the use of fat in the body as a form of fuel, which tricks the body into storing fat for this purpose. Chinese use fish in their meals, as well as fish oil and fish sauce in their cooking. If you are not fond of the taste of fish, you can supplement with fish oil capsules from your local health foods store.

Know And Learn More About The Health Perspective In Indias Traditions or Custom or Routines

Know And Learn More About 

The Health Perspective 

In Indias Traditions 

or 

Customs 

or  

Routines

While embracing the latest fitness fads, it's important to keep in mind that these customs routines have helped preserve the health of generations over centuries.

The past few years have seen increased health awareness in India. Today's urban Indians, especially, are not only better informed, but actively making the choice to embrace good health and fitness.

But ironically, for a country with diverse healing traditions, the thrust is often skewed in favour of patronising Western imports such as new-fangled diets or five-star gyms.

At the same time, some very traditional health-enhancing routines continue to be widely practiced too. Indian traditions are more like the first lessons which are taught by the elders of the house. These traditions are often followed without any doubts and questions. These traditions are not just followed for the sake of religious rituals but have deep-rooted scientific reasons associated with the same.

Some of the interpretations of these rituals are as follows:

Namaste 

When we greet someone or meet someone for the first time we join both our hands in for Namaste. This is done out of sheer respect for the person. Doing Namaste activates the acupuncture points of the fingertips and helps us to remember the person.

Ushapan 

This is the practice of drinking water from a copper utensil. This helps in absorbing the extra heat of the body thereby maintaining the body temperature. The water should be kept overnight in the copper pot before drinking it. It is believed that drinking water from a copper pot helps in bowel movement, cleaning of the stomach and creating digestive juices.

Sukhasan 

When one sits on the floor with the crossed leg is referred to as sukhasan. On having food in this position the person has to bend and eat. When this happens the stomach is pushed while bending and the back is straight before taking the next bite. This movement leads to muscular movements thereby helping to produce digestive juices and aids in swallowing as well.

Vamakukshi 

Vamakukshi is referred to as the afternoon nap post-lunch. Sleeping on the left side helps in the digestion of the food. Though prolonged sleep can make a person lazy, a quick 10 minutes nap is recommended as it allows a person to be fresh.

Shatapwali 

means taking 100 steps, to be more appropriate it is the walk after dinner. This helps in the digestion of food as the gas created after consuming food is moved and the pressure in the chest is reduced.

The above terms literally explain the famous praise, "After lunch sleep a while, after dinner walk a mile."

Ear Piercing 

Though ear piercings are looked at as a fashion ornament but as per the Hindu traditions these help in decision making, thinking abilities and intellectual development, and also to some extent an acupressure point. It is ideal to get a baby's ear pierced by the 12th day of her birth, as it is believed that getting ears pierced early leads to acquiring the quality of minimal speech.

Touching Feet of Elders  

This is known as one of the best exercises as it aids in blood circulation, helps in stretching and pushing the organs, improves excretion and digestion and strengthens the physique. It is also believed to transfer an aura and positive energy from the person whose feet are being touched.

Learn Innovative, Enterprising Tricks Using Tennis Balls

Tricks 

Using Tennis Balls 

 

Think beyond the tennis court 

Tennis balls can help you park the car, fluff up your laundry, and get a better night’s sleep.

Fluff Up Feathers

Throw one or two tennis balls like these into the dryer the next time you dry down-filled items like pillows, comforters, and jackets. They’ll ditch the flat look they get from the washing machine and puff up again. 

Relieve sore feet

Take a load off your aching feet and give them a treat. Put a tennis ball on the floor. Remove your shoes, and place your foot on top of the tennis ball. Now roll the ball around with your foot.

Massage your back too

Drop a few tennis balls into a long tube sock and tie the end shut. Now pretend the tube sock is a towel and move it across your back the way you would if you were drying off after a shower.

Make a mini toolbox

Cut a slit in a tennis ball and squeeze it to widen the split. Toss in some nails, then stop squeezing the ball to close up the toolbox. Carry it with you around the house or in the yard and squeeze it any time you need a nail. Genius! 

Save your socks

Don’t toss your sock just because it has a small hole in the toe or the heel. Place a tennis ball in the toe or heel (wherever it needs to be mended). The tennis ball will stretch out the surface of the sock so that sewing it will be easier.

Keep your bike level

Help your bicycle’s kickstand do its job (keeping your bike standing) and prevent it from sinking into the grass or mud by using a tennis ball. How? Cut a slit in the ball and slip it over the end of the kickstand. If you ever find yourself at the beach with your bike, this trick will stop the kickstand from sinking into the sand too.

Open bottles with ease

Twist-off bottle caps never seem to come off the way they should. To make it easier, cut a tennis ball in half, then cover the bottle cap with one half and twist it off without a problem. 

Soften a hammer’s blow

Whether you need to gently nudge some woodwork back into place or tap a nail into soft wood, place a tennis ball with a slit in the middle over your hammer. The tennis ball will treat your job gently.

Park perfectly

Parking your car in the garage is an art: You have to pull only so far forward (but far enough!) and only so close to each wall (but not too close!) Take the guesswork out of the equation by hanging a tennis ball on a string from the ceiling or rafters of the garage so that it hits the center of your windshield when you park correctly. You’ll never have to guess where the car goes.

Sand curvy furniture

Voluptuous furniture is pretty but refinishing it can be an ugly job. Make it easier by covering a tennis ball in sandpaper and using the ball to sand the curves.

Stop snoring

People who snore tend to do so more often when they sleep on their backs. Stop a back sleeper in his tracks by attaching a tennis ball to the back of a person’s pajama top (safety pin a sock on the PJs and insert a tennis ball, or sew a pocket in the back of the pajama shirt). When the snorer turns onto his back, the tennis ball will prevent him from getting comfortable and he’ll return to his side (where he may snore less).


Keep swimming pool oil-free

Float a couple of tennis balls in your swimming pool to absorb body oils from swimmers. Replace the balls every couple of weeks during high-use periods.

Cover your trailer hitch

To protect chrome trailer hitches from scratches and rust, cut a tennis ball and slip it over your hitching ball. The tennis ball will keep moisture out and rust away.

Store your valuables at gym

Here’s a neat way to hide and store valuables when you’re working out at the gym. Make a 2-inch (5-centimeter) slit along one seam of a tennis ball and insert the valuables inside. Keep the ball in your gym bag among other sporting gear. Just remember not to use the doctored ball next time you’re out on the tennis court!
